Battlefield 1 - Top 5 issues or improvements

Thanks for asking t1gge! I have more than 5 issues but I’ll try to keep the number down so you’re not deluged.

  1. The Top 5 players who are featured on the end of round screen should get battlepacks along with the random battlepack drops. It’s frustrating to be featured and get nothing while a guy who just joined and didn’t spawn receives a battlepack.
  2. The community seems to universally loath the BF1 in game and multiplayer U. I would love to have choice to enable the BF4 UI or have power to customize icons’ colors and size as well as layout to make it like BF4
  3. Like many players I frequently forget to hit the spacebar to get to the respawn screen. Please remove this feature and make it like Previous Battlefield games or provide an option to turn it off for a “classic respawn”
  4. Allow players to Spawn under fire (my preference) or tell the man someone is trying to spawn on him so he can get into cover like in MOHW. The current prohibition to spawning under fire has been broken since it was released in BF4 because it constantly says a person being spawned on is under fire when he’s not.
  5. Live scoreboard for servers so I can see who is on the server and what the ticket count is before I join a server. I’d prefer just to go back to Battlelog so players can use the in game multiplayer UI or use Battlelog like MOHW does.
  6. Why are top players front in center but I need to scroll over three tabs to see the scoreboard at the end of round? Please make the scoreboard front & center at end of round, or a good compromise would to be make it like the Battlelog BF4 battle report with top players at the top of the screen (in reasonable size) with full scoreboard underneath.
  7. The BF1 in game multiplayer UI needs to have all functionality of Battlelog if it’s replacing Battlelog. Currently there’s no effective server browser since you can type in a server name or even a server number and never even have it come up, past servers are not loading, servers routinely disappear from favorites, and there’s no way to link servers via social media for community events like we had on Battlelog which hurts the community.
  8. Where’s the Platoon support? If Platoon support is indeed added as we’ve heard clan tags need to be populated by the active platoon with no manual Clan tag entry to prevent imposters (See MOHW’s system).
    Thanks for asking t1gge!
  1. Some of the LMGs are quite poor when compared to some of the other weapons available to other classes. In general they could all use a bit of love but especially the Huot, Lewis, and MG15 IMO. They’re all pretty weak and aren’t very good at anything. People might say “well I can do well with it” but that’s irrelevant. A good player can do well with anything but that doesn’t mean its balanced.

  2. The Martini Henry, Huot, and M1906 could use a buff IMO. They are all pretty bad with no reason to use any of them over the stock weapons. They honestly don’t even compete. They could all use a little love to make them viable alternatives to the vanilla weapons.

  3. Some of the shotguns are also pretty bad. The M10 Hunter is the only one worth using and IMO is the standard model for how a shotgun should work in the game. The others are awful. They could do with a ROF or range increase to compensate for their lack of stopping power.

  4. Medals are completely broken and need a fix. IMO they also shouldn’t be locked to a specific one at a time, but open to all be completed at the same time.

  5. Ability to customize loadouts from the menu.

Number 1 issue right now for players in regions such as Southeast Asia, South Africa and Middle East is high latencies in game due to the complete lack of local servers.

First of all - those pesky bugs have to go away! The nastiest ones are in your bugtracker, so
I want to have all of those fixed in the next patch. You might hear that alot, but from programmer’s
viewpoint MOST of them are really just a matter of giving the Devs the headroom to tackle them,
while some (I say CPU) require more work, but are very important nevertheless
.
About actual balancing/gameplay issues, we already have that thread here,
which also includes my personal wishlist.
forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/56307/your-top-five-things-to-be-fixed-added
.
But honestly, just follow LevelCaps Wishlist. That reflects pretty much what’s hot on the forums.
PLEASE do not blindly follow some people who wish to compensate lack of teamwork with modifications. Like taking meds/ammo or soloing tanks. Some stuff just must be impossible to do alone - that’s the only way to force people to team up.
.
edit: this thread alone should give you enough work for half a year or more. you hireing? ^^

  1. HIT DETECTION
  2. AT launcher/ grenades - i hit someone point blank with the AT Lanucher and he only took 15% damage. i also fire my AT Lanucher and it landed next to this guy and he took 6% damage WTF. i throw my AT grenades into a small room with 3 people and no one died.
  3. LMG - needs a little buff
  4. battlepacks - what’s the point ugh…
  5. assault class needs more weapons
  6. Make sniping like the other BF’s games.
  1. Nothing to unlock at all,no challenges or anything. No dogtags not everybody has.

I’m pretty happy with the game itself.

  1. Battlepack system need to go back to the BF4 version. Given at promotion or service star.

  2. Same thing with the medals. The BF4 system whas better when you where tracking al the medals/assignments at the same time.
    You should not have to give up on helping the team just so you can get your 10 kills with the dynamite etc.

  3. Be able to change your laodout in the main menu, know you are working on this but still wery important :slight_smile:

  4. More points for revive.

  5. Operations server browser and operations rotation. I never play operations because i have to find a new server everytime its finished.
    Also play single maps in operations-mode.

And i want to end on a positive note: This is for me the best Battlefield yet. Wery good job with this game and still it can get better! Nice work! :slight_smile:

My top 5 issues are following:

  • I Nerf the syringe. The medic can revive faster than the enemy can kill. Either give it ~3 sec CD between revives or give it ~3 charges that need to be resupplied.

II Nerf scout flair. It shouldn’t spot everything within the AOE, only players that are sprinting. If you are stationary or walking slowly you should not be spotted.

III Gas/Mortars need a nerf. I’m just gonna bunch these two together cause they’re just about equally annoying. Either simply reduce the amount each player gets or reduce the amount of players that can have them.

IV AA guns should not have unlimited turn rate(limited only by the players mouse sensitivity settings). ATM an player in an AA can be looking south, get shot at by a plane coming from the north, turn around in 0.1 seconds and down that plane in 2 seconds. How do they turn those big guns around so quickly!? Give it a set turn rate for all players.

V Buff LMG’s.

Hello,

Link to section: first of all - nice to see something is going on. Sorry for my bad english, i hope you guys will get over it and get the core! What i can’t undestand is … why only 5 Top issues, or why TOP 5 over the first of all - nice to see something is going on. Sorry for my bad english, i hope you guys will get over it and get the core!
What i can’t undestand is … why only 5 Top issues, or why TOP 5 over the rest? … there are so many in the game at this time, some like the REVIVE BUG are just beeing transported from the other titels … a lot of serious issues and bugs and you only want to adress 5 for the next patch? The last patch is now one month ago … this is very hard to understand! Everybody hopes it will be the biggest patch ever, but this post don’t look like this! My hope is down

Link to section: There are still people can’t play on PC, stuttering, freezes, crashes, FPS drops all over … what about that? Soldier/Weapon customization, loadout, UI informations, MapBugs, Class/Weaponbalance, MedalThere are still people can’t play on PC, stuttering, freezes, crashes, FPS drops all over … what about that? Soldier/Weapon customization, loadout, UI informations, MapBugs, Class/Weaponbalance, Medal system broken, no rewards at all, battlepacks and so on … Top 5 issues are very subjective, people who are not playing on PC will never mention the PC-Problem things … also the PC people will still do this first because to CAN’T PLAY is their major issue! But the rest is will also be there if they will get to the gameplay … so just insane!

Maybe i don’t understand your question right, but it looks like this 5 issues on YOUR list will get the “firs look” and the rest we will have to wait again for month.
This can’t be true or?

Probably mentioned already, but I’d like to see the battle reports.

I was complaining about Battlelogs when they started out, but now I am disappointed they are not there…

  1. AA being a bit too powerful.
  2. The fighter plane being a bit underpowered compared to the other two planes.
  3. The Model 10 shotgun hunter variant one hit kill at range.
  4. Cavalry. How horses behave and how they sometimes refuse to cross some terrain or jump over certain rocks, fences etc. And the Russian 1895’s lack of power while on the horseback.
  5. Lack of loadout customization in the main menu.

Worth mentioning: The sweetspot for bolt-action rifles are a bit difficult to understand and very annoying when on the other side of the gun.
And the lack of power of some weapons like the Huot and Selbstlader 1906. It just doesn’t feel like the grind is worth it.

Really? That works? Gonna try that next game, many thanks in advance if it works :slight_smile:

Most of the main issues have already been stated but one of the big ones for me is Operations.

Please make them available on the server browser for one, and secondly, please make them restart after they are finished. They could restart the same operation over again or, a different one I would be fine with either. Having to go through the match making system every time is painful! Especially with a 5+ man party.

Also, I really hope that rental servers have the option to select the size for the game mode and are not locked into only 24 players for rush (for example). In past battlefield games, mixed mode clan servers where super popular. I would be sad if it isn’t possible to have a large (32/40/64) conquest map that can also go into rush OR even operations for a game or two (without dropping people obviously). That would be great!

they stopped selling the sponge years ago FDA pulled 'em

Dice, can you buff me and nerf the other players? Thanks, that would be all. Otherwise I’m having fun. Just make be better.

My list:
This based on console(PS4) experience

  1. Operations Mode need balancing. Some maps more than others. I stopped playing operations because of this.
  2. Prevent or warn players from joining matches that are about to end. Give us the information to help us decide if we want to enter these matches, and make your MM smart enough to avoid this situation.
  3. Include Built in Clan management system, with clans ranking, and members ranking inside a clan. Allow the option for clan managers to set a clan location based on city and/or country.
  4. Re-balance tanks. Some suggestions : Landship needs more firepower but can easily have its tracks disabled. Heavy tank needs to have slower speed and acceleration. Light tanks need less firepower against Medium and Heavy tanks.
  5. Find some way to help improve the usability of all armored cars and jeep. Examples: Add Aim Assist for turret gunners. Let the car automatically replenish health and ammo to nearby teammates. Add a way to repair them. Reduce bouncy driving. Improve acceleration and breaking…etc.

Three small requests: Do something about inactive Squad Leaders. Please give Dreadnought driver a big HINT that he can move the ship. And Finally add a gun range map to test guns, test vehicles, and to try different game settings/controls.

@t1gge

Thanks for putting this thread together!

I actually listed my top 5 in another thread that a regular member started on this very same subject last week. I will just copy and paste that post here:

  • Medals randomly switch on their own.
  • Cant quit games postgame outside of the 7 second window we’re provided
  • Battlepack system rewards you for buying the game instead of playing well. (RNG)
  • Cant fire weapon after being revived
  • Spawn as cavalry with no horse.
  • Spawn as tank with no tank
  • Cant revive (syringe) downed enemies. This happens occasionally to rarely, but a pain nonetheless.
  • “Nearby medics” show even if they dont have syringe equipped.
  • Need to see how far along a game is in server browser. (by the way thanks for the server browser. Endured a full year of hell thanks to your lack of one in SWBF)
  • Leaderboards? Something like that? That would be nice.
  • Character customization is completely absent.
  • Abusing enemy vehicle spawns to camp points. (doesnt bother me i could care less, but its there)
  • Suez.
