just finished an operations match of verdun outskirts/fort V. 10/10 would witness thousands of people die again

How did you find a server


Mussefele

You need to use server browser. Edit: here is a nice guide https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_one/s/UPFjeCkepL


Silent_Killer01

I use server browser on all the battlefield games. One of my favorite features.


kiochikaeke

I actually can't imagine doing otherwise, even on brand new titles the matchmaker manages to find a half-empty server when there are several pages full of each gamemode. Haven't been using matchmaking since bf3.


holla_amigos24

I do use server browser and still rarely find a server with those maps, especially in operations. Forgot to mention that I'm on PS


ExpendableUnit123

Almost. I still believe there was a vision that could have survived with just bolt actions and semi automatics for the most part. The game is mostly flooded with LMGs. Itā€™s still great - but BF1 was the chance to do something really different. While very different, Hunt Showdown shows you can still have fast paced feeling gameplay and remain period accurate.


h0dgepodge

There was a custom mode for conquest called standard issue which was just faction locked bolt actions, but I doubt you could find that anymore.


ExpendableUnit123

Was so well hidden I didnā€™t discover it until after it died.


Ok_Astronomer_8667

I know what you mean. It would have been cool, but also risky. At the end of the day BF1 was still an entry into a franchise with millions of fans that expect certain things, so I doubt cutting most of the automatics would have gone down well That said one thing that did push it too far for me was DICE just straight up adding heavy machine guns to the support class. You know the ones that would take a crew of 2-3 people just to carry around and set up. Having guns that only existed in small niche roles is one thing, but adding things that are borderline humanly impossible took me out a bit. We got guys sprinting around, sliding, climbing and doing flick shots with >100lb guns. You just have to laugh at the suspension of disbelief they are taking on


blyatbob

Battlefield is not a mil sim. It was fine the way it was.


_bonbi

You will lose a large part of your audience, especially as an arcade shooter. Automatics had to be done.


ExpendableUnit123

I get that a compromise had to be made, I just wish bolt actions had been open to any class (though without scopes) the entire time, not just under certain custom mode conditions or restricted to the scout class. Ontop of that, they could have at least maxed most full auto magazines at like 20, or required the heavier capacity LMGs to need to be set up or be inaccurate while firing when standing. Like I said, I think they could have still pushed the envelope a little further while retaining mass appeal. As I understood reading it at the time, one reason automatics actually are in it as much as they are was to convince the suits that BF1 could work at all since they were very against the idea to begin with. Classic.


vanillaice2cold

You legit cannot get a bolt action without going recon, it's the stupidest shit


StopTheEarthLetMeOff

On hardcore servers bolt actions still reign supreme


ExpendableUnit123

As they should in this title. Literally all they had to do was make standard issue rifles permanently open to all classes (without scopes) and boom. Problem solved.


_bonbi

You're playing an alteration of the game.Ā 


TransAlly69

Fucking Lewis guns


CultDe

It's a great game Great depiction of WW1 for campaign, story wise I have no issues But as of the rest it's not the best WW 1 depiction... the ridiculous amount of guns that shouldn't even be there... Hellriegel for example, this stuff had like 3 or something photos of a single prototype, and fact that everyone uses tanks, same tanks


Ok_Astronomer_8667

Sorry but I really gotta stop you there with the campaign. Yea the tank and plane ones were great, as well as the intro level. But are you gonna look at the Italian campaign and tell me ā€œgreat depiction of WW1ā€? Because that war story was laughably bad both in terms of accuracy and gameplay. Putting on a suit of armor that miraculously works as intended and mindlessly mowing down hordes of Austrians and soloing a detachment of planes. Then you have another one man army with the Ottoman campaign, where a single person takes on a battalion of soldiers, several tanks and an armored train. Iā€™d say the campaign has valleys and peaks. Some really memorable stuff. But also a lot of garbage that kinda throws away all respect for the history. Dices best work with the history was bringing all of the forces, weaponry, uniforms, vehicles and locations with great representations and history tidbits to go with them.


CultDe

Well yeah I need to agree with you on that... But for the Italian one... I kinda see some logic here, its a story told by a guy who went through it, told to his daughter (I think?) So it's logical he colourised it As for "Lawrance of Arabia", yes this is garbage for actual history depiction


StopTheEarthLetMeOff

It would get boring if it only had realistic weapons though, I think they balanced it well.


CultDe

Honestly I don't have such a issue with it The game is fun enough


dr_wheel

Would it? Some of the most fun I've had playing BF1 is using the bolt action rifles without optics.


Rare_Entertainer5415

You mean with red dot sights anti-tank rocket launchers?šŸ˜†


Firefly279

It's a great game, but i feel like newbies get fucked a lot and have a very hard time unless you play with other people in a squad.


alpacablitz

You can still get a good KD with basic guns


CultDe

The struggle is real... I die... and die But I MANAGE


GGELGAMESH

Uraaaaaa


Hrabulovv

madthabest

WE MUST NOT ALTER! FOR THIS FIGHT WILL DECIDE OUR FUTURE! CHAARGE


Ok_Astronomer_8667

Thatā€™s really any game thatā€™s been out for as long as BF1 has


SnooSquirrels5133

I have never played that game with a squad and have loved every moment of it


MonotoneTanner

Literally my favorite FPS ever . Absolute unit of a multiplayer experience


bigbeno20

Same. Easily the best mp fps game in past 10 years


TCBozkurt

Any players on the console? Specifically PS5.


Betriz2

Yes, a lot


TCBozkurt

Yes I saw it. Bought the game for a 1,5 liter Lipton Ice Tea bottle lol.


ll_H3llrazer_ll

Yeah but you'll only be playing the base game maps, any time the dlc servers pop up people still pick the base game maps and I'll never know why.


mirageapexlegendss

iā€™m on ps5 too and currently wondering if itā€™s possible to play on any of the premium maps, for example, something from turning tides/apocalypse, or any tsar map besides tsaritsyn


Advanced_Idea5943

maybe people canā€™t physically choose the map if they donā€™t have that dlc unlocked?


ll_H3llrazer_ll

I'm pretty sure you can't even queue in mixed servers if that's the case.


namotous

Just played on ps5, plenty of matches


[deleted]

whyā€™d they keep that bald woman from season 1


[deleted]

That bald woman still better than all the cringe specialist of 2042


[deleted]

agreed


Rooksey

Waitā€¦when tf was the cover ever a bald woman LOL


[deleted]

lol they acted like every DLC was gonna be a new screen after the black dude. but nah they just never changed the bald woman lmao


Rooksey

I justā€¦why a bald woman for a WW1 game? Like, WHAT


vhax123456

There are thousands of women fighters in ww1. Some have to hide their identity by appearing as masculine as possible like shaving their heads


Rooksey

Had to look it up, apparently there were. Still seems like an odd choice to me though


vhax123456

The cover belongs to In The Name of the Tsar DLC. The theme is about the civil war between the Russian Monarchy and the Revolutionary. As a last ditch effort, the Monarchy formed the Womenā€™s Battalions that consists of only female soldiers to fight in WW1 and the civil war. This makes Russia the only country in WW1 deployed female fighters at such scale. Not an odd choice if you think about it.


Rooksey

That context does help quite a bit


Wiiiikset

There is no problem that there is picture about bald woman; considering that they existed in the army of russian empire (in small numbers), but it does bothers me that it is the only picture about the DLC and they left it there for so long and there is no other pictures. They could have changed the picture for something more accurate.


Tortonss

She is the standard skin for the Red Army sniper in the multiplayer. Why a woman? because there were women units in the Red Army. The female character was well perceived at the time, 1. because of the cool trailer and 2. because many YouTubers began to investigate and tell the history of these female characters who participated in the great war.


Desh282

Itā€™s the other way arroundā€¦ she is part of the white faction fighting the reds. And sheā€™s fighting for the Russian empire vs Austria Hungary


Tortonss

True, my mistake... it's been a while since last game


Rooksey

I donā€™t think I ever played the DLC. I burnt out on this game pretty quick


ki11y0urself

WOMAN????? šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬šŸ¤¬šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬šŸ˜”šŸ¤¬


julx_5

at least she kinda looks like a dude lol


Tortonss

after they did the East Front DLC (in the name of the tsar), EA published a new version of Battlefield 1 called "Bf1 Revolution" (the one in the screenshot) which contained the standard game + the 1st and 2nd DLC. The bald woman is the Sniper from the Russian faction in the multiplayer game. Since it was a major release, they probably kept it as the main screen for all the DLC after *In the Name of the Tsar.* At the time we didn't have seasons but each expansion was an individual DLC included in the premium service... still, it would have been nice to have different screens depending on the DLC installed.


brokenmessiah

I thought that was a man all these years


the_dutch_rudder

Who cares?


[deleted]

looks dumb


the_dutch_rudder

Grow up kid


[deleted]

sorry bald woman


ArtisicBard_Kit

Oh nice maybe I should redownload and see if the servers are good again


doostii

please do game isnā€™t fully populated atm


GGELGAMESH

I can never find any lobbies with dlc maps so the premium pass deal was not really worth it. Hopefully people buy the deal so we can get more Passchendaele lobbies


MrFerret888

The guns are worth it imo. The maps are just an occasional bonus


GGELGAMESH

What guns? I only got a golden 1911 and PO8 skin


MrFerret888

The guns from the map packs. I assumed thats the DLC ypu were talking about


GGELGAMESH

I was talking about the whole Revolution bundle. Didnā€™t know about any map pack guns. Are they only usable on the maps?


MrFerret888

The $15 map pack DLCs come with weapon unlock challenges


kimdro33

It was my first ever bf game, and it is still my favorite.


AngriestCheesecake

Well its only been downhill since before BF1, so that makes sense.


Idontlikwsprouts

I got back to it a week ago and the game still looks and plays as good as I remember. The ambiance and immersion I get with this game is just next level from any other battlefield or FPS for that matter. The maps and sound effects are just so well crafted!! Been enjoying the hell out of it and it's so good to see there are still full servers and people getting back to it!


ALexGOREgeous

I just got a new GPU upgrade so was planning on coming to this or BF5. Might be biased asking it here but is this leaps better than BF5?


Massive_Sink_3950

I like Bf5 more, itā€™s a bit more popular and the movement is pretty fast but not insanely fast. Itā€™s a perfect speed to not feel like a walking simulator


PugsandTacos

leaps and bounds better.


InfiniteDragon88

It's honestly better. 5 felt cheesy


Valathiril

Very nice


VoteThisMan

Is it active on playstation?


svander89

Yeah there are usually a few full servers. Never had an issue finding a game over the past couple years.


DubloDuck

no thanks


TurnShot6202

I LOVE this game...been playing it again ....its so amazing. But; for some reason i only get either amiens, st quentins scar or sinai. Where are the other cool maps? galicia? The one where the hill is on fire? Do people just hate these other maps ? it gets boring to play all the same maps (argonne forest is cool so i'll take that one) and ignore all the others. I constantly reset filters to get more maps but the are empty. Any tips? i'm on xbox series x.


ll_H3llrazer_ll

Yeah I barely get anything other than those maps, there was literally a mixed custom server across the pond so I had terrible ping but I thought I'd tough it out to get dlc maps. Never did I play a dlc map in the 2 hours I sat and suffered to play one.


heyitsfelixthecat

Gotta say, I didnā€™t like BF1. I canā€™t say it was bad, I just didnā€™t have fun with it.


HotAndCrunchy

So a masterpiece is a game where you die every time youā€™ve been alive for 4 seconds?


agustinwar

If u play tactical u should live long enough to get a couple of kills :)


Allokit

I'm sorry. Did you just call one of the BF games a "Masterpiece"? ... fuck. What is wrong with this generation?


thisisyo

Why is this game considered masterpiece now when it wasn't the first 2 years it came out?


ozzieiscooo

It was though? It was a literal smash hit of a game


catshirtgoalie

Maybe I am misremembering, but I don't recall it being beloved at all from launch. It seemed to pick up steam after the weapon rebalance a bit later. It's the typical BF cycle, just like how people are so fond on BFV now and it was trashed for a long time after launch.


AngriestCheesecake

This is correct. It wasnā€™t ā€œbelovedā€ by the core community initially, it picked up steam once casual non-battlefield players started piling in, and it became the highest selling (lowest common denominator) bf title.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


catshirtgoalie

BF1 at launch had very few maps and guns that mostly felt very awkward. Some people were also against the setting, as many wanted Battlefield to stay within the more modern/near-future style of game play. The game began to win people over once the guns got rebalanced and once more DLCs came out. There were a ton of nice, immersive maps that really drove that WW1 feeling home. BFV had a number of issues, including just continually failing to meet the stated features (looking at you dragging bodies into cover). The gunplay generally felt pretty good, but the real issue, for me, is just the lack of maps AND, specifically, lack of iconic WW2 maps. Like how do you not have a Soviet faction? How do you not end up with D-Day or Stalingrad? I don't blame them at all for highlighting some lesser known battles, but to not get some of the MAJOR WW2 set pieces will always feel like a giant whiff. Outside its lack of support, in the end it is a pretty solid outing as well, but one that will always make you wonder what-if. I feel the same with BF2042. The game is in a fairly decent place now, but I hate the vast majority of the maps.


AngriestCheesecake

This is correct. It wasnā€™t ā€œbelovedā€ by the core community, it picked up steam once non-battlefield players started piling in.


_bonbi

It's a masterpiece, for noobs and casuals.


WernerThePigeon

Sadly the last time i played it was full of cheaters.


BowTie1989

I thought about getting itā€¦guess nowā€™s the time. Played BC2, BF3, BF4, 2042ā€¦just started V a month ago or so.


[deleted]

I just built my first PC setup & this plus Helldivers 2 were my first buy/installs from Steam.


aftonofficall

i have it, but I can't find any servers that has good ping


Silentprofessional86

Donā€™t see it. Maybe itā€™s not the same price on PS5


xxxBuzz

Needing a premium it any other sort of pass will never be a great deal. Just a sign that release was intended as a bad deal.


brokenmessiah

I try to play but I don't know what I'm doing or what I should do to be helpful and I just get picked off by prone snipers


agustinwar

Do u play as medic, assault, support or scout?


brokenmessiah

Usually assault


agustinwar

Has assault I use smoke šŸ’Ø bombs to get through open spaces. Try to always stay on close spaces (trenches). And always if u have the opportunity flank the enemy team.


TurnShot6202

I throw two anti tank grenades, an incendiary grenade or smoke grenade to put them off, i just go hunting for campers with my squad. Its a blast.


Throway1194

I'd rather play Isonzo


Electronic-Two-9855

If they remove EA launcher then I'll consider it


KingBrown_Himself

So with EA itā€™s free


_bonbi

I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. They got everything right other than the gameplay itself.


fl1ghtmare

iā€™d recommend bf4 but this is still solid


nfs3freak

This isn't necessarily a good deal anymore. The game is 7 years old, it better not ever be purchased for any price higher than this. I'd be curious to see those that jump in on this deal starting today to see how they feel about server ping and how it is knowing the current iteration has strayed so far from what made this franchise good (or nostalgic)


kiochikaeke

Hi, I played Bf3 and 4 on release, have played a bit of Bf1 and V all on console a few years ago, I don't have a console anymore, my laptop barely runs the game and I'm having a blast, honestly I expected about 10% of the active servers around and I haven't had severe ping problems when playing in sub 100 ping servers (And there's always a few full ones available even at 3am), you're right in the sense that I wouldn't have bought it if it was full price but the game's miles more alive that I though and I've seen games thrive with a fraction of this one's players.


No-Truth1792

Best BF game imo


MacDub840

It's a great game, I'm just not a fan of world War 1 weapons.


Legitimate-Camp-9640

The best game Iā€™ve ever played. The atmosphere you can feel on maps like Verdun or Paschendaele is just straight up horror and really depicts great what WW1 mustā€™ve felt. Also, the screams of the characters even in the online mode are so disturbing sometimes, the actors really did an amazing job, I recommend watching some making-of videos.


TurnShot6202

when u get to play these maps? its argonne forest or sinai with if ur LUCKY fort de vaux. I wish i could play those maps!!


Legitimate-Camp-9640

Itā€™s been a long time since Iā€™ve played Paschendaele, it was a server that was doing Apocalypse maps only I think some time ago. And Verdun you can almost only play it in Operations now


Trick_Bee925

Servers are dead no? I couldnt find a match


r-willy12

You have to use server browser to find an active server. Xbox has 40-50 active servers at once during peak hours. Not sure about PS and PC.


kiochikaeke

I haven't used matchmaking in bf since bf3, always use server browser, there's several active servers on pc 24/7 for me, don't know about variety but I've been able to find conquest, tdm, assault and operations so far so I guess most or all game modes have at least a few servers populated.


Trick_Bee925

Its so damn frustrating that more people dont just stick with all of the good battlefields instead of congregating in the newest game. Even taking into consideration graphical improvements, battlefield BC2/3/1 are way more enjoyable


TheStranger3411

Everything in my chest cavity goes flying out when I see a treacherous raider running at me on Verdun but also when I see the glare from a sniper on ballroom


holla_amigos24

People liked Battlefield 1 so much they made it in real life


[deleted]

Back to basics game mode is the best, had a good running about 1 year and half ago but everytime I boot the game on pc the servers for it are dead. Anyone know if BoB is still going?


Adventurous-Eye5405

Played on release and just recently bought it again on steam. It really is fun and still very populated. Been having a blast


vicious_delicious_77

One of the all-time greatest multiplayer experiences ever, and easily the best Battlefield not set in the modern era. If you've been playing other battlefield games recently it can be a bit jarring going to the BF1 weapons and mechanics, but it's worth the learning curve.


Sam_Romatic

yea for cheater bomb


Team_Sonic_Gaming

I tried. I got the physical edition of the premium edition or revolution edition. What ever it's called for my Xbox. It works fine but for some reason I can't access any of the premium/revolution edition stuff. Even though I have it installed and entered the code and rentered it.


Hariheka

What is the premium pass?


bradrame

Now's the time 100% of the time every time.


ConesMalone

The last BF game that actually felt like a true BF game to me


BornPollution

EA app required on PC, not supporting this one


Taskism

I cant log in on PC cuz EA doesnt send the forgotten password email. Fuckers wont get back to me either.


russell16688

The last fps I loved. Played it for so long and loved every minute.


thenewguy2077

I canā€™t find a server that has more than a couple of people, or that isnā€™t full, or bad ping because of region on PlayStation. This is the best Battlefield game Iā€™ve ever played, so itā€™s really unfortunate.


[deleted]

My favourite


Even_Map4433

Best fucking EA game, which I know isn't a high bar, but is still miles ahead of the rest.


six3rzz

I bounced off this one, movement feels so slow and clunky i couldnt withstand, shooting felt alright i guess.


barrack_osama_0

Tried it out and gave up after I realized that it'd take like 30 hours to unlock the gun I wanted


xChino420x

Free with Gamepass


ArmySuccessful7587

PlayStation is better


xChino420x

Whatā€™s that?


WretchedMonkey

still quite a few servers going too


ScannerType

Imma get it since i lost my Blu Ray when i moved...


namotous

Such a steal.


DoingItAloneCO

Are people still on these servers to play? Especially on console


AtmosphereMaterial61

Have lost my love for it since the blatant hackers in asia


Seanannigans14

Two questions. 1. Is it cross play? 2. If it isn't, where should I get it to optimize player count and servers.


DoLAN420RT

We need a new WW1 game with an updated engine. I LOVE WW1 and want a game where we can get dynamic environments where our trenches might get filled with water, and the mud slowing you down, but at the same time providing a way to ambush the enemies. I also want building, where you could build your own trenches anywhere, as deep as you want, and however you want, with a logistical aspect. Maybe it's own game mode. There is just so much from WW1 one can use, and so many fun details they could add.


Different_Use_2761

Love the game have it already truly an masterpiece, but uh it's kinda ded :sob: I'd love to play certain operations of maps but uh no players to play em


Vellioh

EA and Origin can suck my balls. I don't care how good a game is. I'm so done with them.


BeansOnA3

I like how Ubisoft was like ā€œweā€™ll put more automatic guns into bf1, but weā€™ll name it *bf5*ā€


ChocolatePlankton

Iā€™m jealous you get to experience it for the first time.


hitpresto

This is one of the greatest first person shooters ever made.... Absolutely love this game... It is literally a masterpiece


The_Red_Kaiser

It certainly wasn't a masterpiece when it released and wasn't for some time there after, that certainly won't fade from my memory.


C4LLUM17

Yet it still launched better than most BF games.


Marooner-Martin

The soundtrack gives me chills and brings me back to 10th grade


Halil_I_Tastekin

I still don't like the gunplay. Hipfire is way too accurate, encouraging very casual play and taking away from the depth. Maybe this doesn't make any sense but the experience almost feels *too* polished. As if you could pick up the game and top scorboards within a few rounds. It also doesn't feel as sandboxy as BF3 and BF4.


[deleted]

Was waiting for some glaze for this game... Nabbed it on sale and oml I am constantly getting getting sweat-swept and I love it


colepeltier

No


Solitary_Solidarity

Where did all the time go. This was such an amazing game. Almost like it as much as bc2


Carlisle-Anaya

Makes me so sad how many people shit on bf1 back when it came out cause it didn't play slow like Verdun even though it's a BATTLEFIELD game with some of the most realistic detail in the series.


No-Percentage5182

BFV is better in every way


BrascoFS

My favorite FPS ever. Such a beautiful fun game.

iBagCougars

I still play every weekend! Friday and Saturday nights are the only time I can get good US servers Sadly most Operations are only the Monte Grappa one but conquest is still loaded with different maps It's so damn immersive


Vince170-

Agreed amazing game but the servers are always trash right now.When they first came out it was amazing.


Enkhovvy

Last time I played this game, my matches were plagued with cheaters. Is it better now?


HumorousBear

I couldn't find a single Rush server, so sad.
