Battlefield 1 - Top 5 issues or improvements

Issue 1: remove the 1-shot bs from the sniper class, i have seen 16 out of 32 players on one team be snipers which ruin any and all teamwork, it’s espcially bad when the game mode is operation and half the team isn’t helping capturing the flag because they are too busy trying to get kills.

Issue 2: give more or better weapons to the medic class because just like the 1-shot bs ruins the game with too many snipers, the low damage bad weapons the medics have put most off from playing it which is (arguably) the most important class, it’s usually as low as 3-4 in operations.

Issue 3: The AA-gun needs a nerf, the way it forces planes down makes no sense unless you as the pilot were already flying downwards when attacked and the fact that it moves at the same speed as the mouse makes it too op, i think it needs to have that “drag” feeling like the stationary AT guns although not that severe, then you would actually have a reason to play the small fast single-seat planes again.

Issue 4: If EA tells you not to remove or tweak the 1-shot bs then at least apply the same rules to shots fired very close (0-20m) so that you actually have a reason to buy and use the un-scoped rifles that you have for some reason added to the game but are not in any way viable.

Issue 5: with the latest patch you increased the tickets in operation for the attacker to 250 (i think), this is way too much and most matches now have reversed roles where the defenders have it unfair, if i remember it correctly it was 150 before and 250 now so how about setting it 200 it will still give the attackers a boost but not enough to completly steamroll the defenders.

Fix the Oceania server problems!

NERF THE HORSES!

As Battlefield 2018 approaches, please add a token (buyable in the exchange) that allows a player to use it for any weapon skin/puzzle piece. This will bypass the issue of how limited the battlepacks can be. As far as scrap costs go; somewhere around 1,500 scrap for a weapon skin token and 7,500 scrap for a puzzle piece token would suffice when considering current scrap costs in the exchange tab.

I thought it was the riders you wanted nerfed?

ALL OF THESE ISSUES RELATE TO THE PC VERSION.
THEY NEED TO RELEASE A PC ONLY PATCH TO FIX SOME OF THESE AS I’VE HEARD ITS THE ONE PATCH FOR ALL PLATFORMS.

Now that all the DLC’s are out maybe you can concentrate on a lot of the little annoying things.

Just a few suggestions to fix the game and reduce frustration. Make it fun again.
If you want to make it realistic with smoke and sun glare, you have to make it realistic across the game.
The new DLC’s just make it frustrating in a different location,

  • FIX THE AUTO TEAM BALANCING. IT’S RUINING GAMES. *** Still crap after “fix” do it every few mins like BF4 did, not once in the middle of the game.
  • Crossbow grenade launcher has little effect on the enemy. Should be more effective.
  • Increase damage per hit on numerous weapons. Weapons patch improved TTK then increased recoil, end result, same as before the fix
  • Decrease damage of pistols. They aren’t that accurate.
  • Should not need any more than one headshot to kill someone.
  • Why does it take 6 shots to kill someone with some weapons?
  • Makes planes easier to kill.
  • Makes planes less accurate when bombing. They didnt have laser guided bombs back then.
  • Remove ALL Elite classes. No reason they should be nearly bulletproof
  • Decrease/limit the max number of snipers in a game.
  • Fix issues with walking/jumping over small rocks/walls.
  • Fix issues with walking/jumping/lying on edges and windows.
  • Spawn issues. Spawning in nearly dead vehicles. Spawning in front of enemy. Spawning out in the open.
  • When lying down prone, the character wants to move forward and get his head shot off.
  • When lying down prone, the character wants to jump up straight back up and get shot.
  • Game allows you to be revived right in front of the enemy. Should no be allowed within a certain distance of enemy.
  • One way smoke. People can shoot you through smoke but you can’t see them.
  • Add useful items in the battlepacks. At the moment all they do is make you’re gun look pretty. Useless feature. Add better scopes, sights, larger magazines, USEFUL STUFF
  • When clicking on a friend in Origin to join them, the friends screen goes black. Quite often used as the Join Friend function in BF1 doesn’t work.
  • You can’t invite friends when you are waiting in a queue.
  • Reduce hackers. Use punkbuster or better system than existing.
  • Shooting walls when prone. Soldier would know to have barrel above obstacle when shooting.
  • Eliminate ADAD dancing to avoid being shot.
  • Increase speed when throwing grenades and changing ammo. They are trained soldiers with combat experience under enemy fire.
  • Should be able to shoot & kill the horses from under riders.
  • When being charged by an enemy on foot, a magazine of bullets in the chest makes no difference. Not realistic.

Never forget that all sides in WW1 had wooden space stations with nuclear weaponry cough cough cough ilya muromets

Point 9 is the main reason I have given up its a pain in the back side trying to play with buddys

Defending River Somme.

Talk about a fruitless endeavor. Since I started playing BF1 again right after Apocalypse went live, I have played this map dozens upon dozens of times and have only seen defenders win TWICE.

Surely you guys at DICE can see the statistics?

Surely you’re aware attacker’s win a vast majority of the time?

Surely that bogus 350 point handicap attacker’s start out with and the beginning of the match needs to be knocked down considerably. Like by about 50% IMO.

Playing as defenders on this map is such a futile endeavor that if I can’t switch over and play as attacker’s upon the match starting or upon joining a match that’s already under way I just leave the match.

FYI Caporetto plays much the same. I’ve seen defenders win a handful of times and see attacker’s winning a vast majority of the time on this map.

Please look at the overall win/loss stats for attacker’s and defenders on these two maps and tweak that 350 points handicap/headstart accordingly.

The biggest Issue for me is that there are to many L

There are still Maps I dont play..Somme is one of them..

Joining your friends on bf1 server is “COD” dodo. 500 ways to join non of them work. Need to fix this.

PS4- The Arisaka is still bugged from the Easter update. Doesn’t reload when zoomed, need to pull the trigger twice more or break zoom to reload. Didn’t see a change with this update.

I’ll hit on broken or poorly done game sound design again and again and again. I certainly hope we don’t hear such shoddy sound design in the next BF title.

FYI I play on Xbox One with surround sound, high quality headphones with all the proper settings on my TV and console. I have no surround sound issues playing other shooters or any other games.

Example 1.

I round a corner and bump into a totally silent enemy tank(that has the engine running) and get my head blown off by the main gun from point blank range. Instead of actually hearing the tank engine idling from a proper distance, with the engine sounds growing progressively louder and louder as I draw near, I instead hear a bomber engine from a bomber that’s flying on the other side of the map! Apparently that bomber engine from across the map has priority to render but that tank engine is excluded from my max sounds count?

Example 2.

I’m located in a destroyed building(that I’ve completely cleared) observing the battlefield. I’m not shooting nor is anyone within 50 meters. From inches away I’m shot in the back by an enemy player that has magically appeared inside the building with me without making a single sound in lieu of all the broken glass and fallen rubble located throughout the house.

Both of these examples happen to me personally dozens and dozens of times a day. It’s really unsat.

DICE. Your sound design team has failed as far as sound prioritization and some sounds that should be rendering are simply not rendering. Please fix. In addition, it would be nice to see(hear) actual speed of sound properly modeled and implemented into the next BF title.

Same here. The defending side needs tanks for one. It probably should run as a normal made not the no base ones. I honestly play for wins and if i have a good time that’s good too. Of course if someone hint hint has enabled a proper anti hack my win/lose ratio wouldn’t be as bad as it is. So i have to cherry pick my matches. And speaking of maps why have you left suez as is. The map is broken. Whom ever gets c wins the map. It always the same damm tactic too brits lose c they flank us threw buildings at b cap it and we get pwned the rest of the map i have seen the train turn it around a few times but not a whole lot. I refuse to play pwned matches. It just goes to show hoe broken match balance is.

Game is close to unplayable now. I have NEVER complained on BF1, great game and I love WW1 theme. However:
1/ ttk. 2.0 or other recent updates ruined this game. RUINED, is the right word. It used to be nice overall balanced game. Now any kid with a gun, spraying support gun wipes half of the team from across the map. Dying is too random, next to zero skill required to score kills and spoil fun for everyone.
2/ no limitations to classes per match. 80 % of all players are support and snipers, camping for kills. It is unbearable, how can you play objective when there is 1 or 2 medics in whole 32 players team??? Why this damn company can’t introduce so simple features?
3/ dont know if this is my ciomputer, but game crashes frequent;ly. It crashed ONCe for last 1.5 years for me and 3 times in last 2 days. That’s it.

Due to the point 1 (and partially point 2) I will NOT buy new battlefield game, too much frustrations over such simple things. It was a good product, but of course, they had to step in and break it.

d

have been saying this since release. most people still play with the music sounds overlay and don’t even notice how crap it is.the fixed by adding more randomness (specialisations to hide it ) lol

This happened to me twice today. I’m in an Operations Campaign server, press escape, and it takes me to the “End of Round” screen. I’m basically stuck unless I click “Quit” and return to the lobby.

Annoying as hell!

I wish they’d finally clear up people’s toxic behavior. I play the game from time to time but sooner or later I just get put off by the amount of mud being thrown in chat. And you know by the way many of these swearing trolls are behaving that they’ve been at it for a long time an have been reported many times over - but no one on DICE’s side reacts. I mean just hire a few more moderators, throw up some month bans and year bans for serious offenders. Keep on at it and maybe eventually we might enjoy a game free of swearing punks who ruin the match for both sides.

BF1 will not let me go to level 140. The yellow bar goes 140 appears and the counter for the next map freezes and I have to restart BF1 and it puts me back at 139
