- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Is the new Radeon driver already online? Will update tonight then.
Gonna be wild tomorrow!
Is the trail available on PC now? I will be buying it for PS4 pro, but I have a powerful PC to play the game and try it out.
WAIT WHAT?! I checked an hour ago as I was playing some Titanfall 2. Daaaaamn im stuck at work now for the next 10 hours :(((
Not for the OAP release. We should have an info on when that lands very soon.
Oh nice, so I will be able to play tonight instead of tomorrow, neat :D
Aw, and I thought that I had another day to finish the download
is it just premier of basic too?

I was planning to finish it up today and post it. I didnt expect a soft launch today since I thought it was tomorrow.
I'm talking about map design, not just locations (and given it's WW2, there's LOTS missing, presumably reserved for DLC).
It just looks like they all play exactly the same, which is pretty much what my problem with BF1 was.
Not on Xbox we aren't.
Any idea when we can preload the EA Access trial? Thanks.
On Xbox I could start the download with EA Access at least one hour ago, go in the Store and look for the Standard Edition, it should say "Install".
Have you preordered? That's probably why.
I'm talking about the EA Access 10 hr trial, not connected to preorders.
I'll check again when I get home, though, thanks.

No preorder, I'll play mostly on PC but I want to see how it runs on my X.
I have EA Access on Xbox One, and Origin Access Premier on PC.
As I'm not home, I started the download from the MS Store on Windows 10, I searched for Battlefield V, selected Xbox, clicked on the Standard Edition then on Battlefield V in the "Includes" section, and there was a "Try" button, then an "Install on my devices" one.
Try there : https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/BZ2N7TQ0XCF2
Thanks, it was not up when I checked three hours ago :)

Now I can reply you, and can't see any difference.
Look your teammate
Look the score
Looks like heavily compressed images, there's clearly a shadow behind the text, while playing the game it will be better than compressed feed.Now I can reply you, and can't see any difference.

There is a setting to increase the shadow behind white text if it's a problem for you.Now I can reply you, and can't see any difference.

from what i've seen in the trailer most of themaps are going to continue the same line of being quite an empty sand box, with some others thrown to a lesser degree. i miss the old days with bfbc 2 where, size and detail counted, and a good analogue would be, is that in an given plain open area in bf 5, before there were multiple densed area routhes between the points in the map filled with monuments, submarines etc. also giving the maps so much width in ratio to their length like in bf 3, ends up having inevitable flanks that the defensive team can't anticipate for, which leads to bad level design, and game modes like rush that don't work out in them. this is how i'd rate the bf games based on detail to size ratio and overall really, although i haven't played bf5, but from the looks of it: bfbc2>bf4>bf3>bf5.
i guess the only draw for the game for me personally is the spectacular graphics, and thats it. it's not enough.

Dude...
I have some GREAT news for you. This is so far from what it's actually like. I've been playing for the past hour now and map design is THE best it's been. I'm actually gushing over the map design in this game. I'm getting serious BF2 vibes in terms of how the maps play out and just the amount of fun I'm having.
Action is abundant but also spread out...in a way that the past 3 BF's havent done right. BFV is special.
Its crazy when everyone in every game is repeating the same thing:
"THESE MAPS!"
"Maps are so ****ing good"
etc etc
I heard someone complain maps are TOO big, which is music to my ears.
It was apparent immediately in maps like Sinai that the flow was bad. Every CQ map in BF1 was the same. And in BF4 too, it was just fighting over the middle flags.
In BFV beta, it often felt people defended certain flags. But I feel as if this was due to attrition. With the game easing up on attrition, do people still play defensively or is it more run and gun? I want to play a CQ game where flags are harder to capture, and players defend points. With reinforcements, it just feels much more fun to defend an area.
It's a bit run & gun'y as of right now but I can see where squad play will really shine and turn the tides o f the match. I hope it pans out where ppl actually start setting up fortifications and such.
I actually defended a flag w/ 2 other guys and held off long enough to see a full convoy rolling up. Was amazing to hold it off and see an influx of my teammates and vehicles come pouring in to wipe out the other team and take the flag.
The game has a nice balance of action and space. There's a ton of action but there's also a lot breathing too.
There are a lot of routes but not to the point where you always feel like you're being killed from every angle. Great mix of frontlines and choke points but also allows for flanking.
1st time a BF has had this great of a map design and flow since BF2.
Dont get me started on Grand Operations...
There's universal praise for the game while in-game. A lot of matches have been really close. The game is as intense as the final moments in a Battle Royale game.
Map design has me extremely excited for their Battle Royale mode. There's a lot of thought put into the design of each map.
I feel the game has gotten much faster due to attrition nerfs and player skill. I liked the first few days when everyone was afraid to move around.
I don't mind it playing faster, I just hope its not mindless. I enjoyed the struggle of needing to resupply. I see in some clips people still run out of ammo, but not as much. And with perks that give you ammo off dead bodies, it seems attrition has been dialled back. I miss feeling panicked when I ran out of ammo. At the same time, it sucked when bad teammates refused to drop ammo and heals for you
Still, to hear map design itself has been turned around is great. BF1's CQ mode was a disaster due to the mode changes, map design, and the behemoths. And even Operations was often frustrating due to poor balance. I like that BF1 mixed it up with having flag caps and bomb modes. Reminds me of Killzone 3. And the BR styled mode sounds the best. I hope they are common and not too rare.
How is class balance?
People rarely play Support in games like BF1, which is annoying because it meant no ammo crate drops. Snipers feel too appealing, because sniping is so easy, and they have really useful tools like spotting flares and throwing knives. Im concerned about spotting flares negating the changes to spotting, if its like BF1. They still have spawn beacons, so Im expecting those far away snipers to be a nuisance. I just hope it isn't as bad as BF1. In modes like Frontlines, Snipers always felt like they ruined the experience
Medics seem like they are in a good place. They shred in CQC, but are useless against vehicles. Assault feels real good since they had the best in class weapons and Anti Vehicle kits.
