I think BF1 should have more stats. Lots more. They should even coin a name for said stats like baseball’s sabermetrics. I want to spend as much time looking at my stats as playing the game.
I thought they already confirmed that battlelog isn’t going anywhere for BF1 and that it was in fact the interface for the game…
I never understood people that complain about stats being in the game. If you don’t care about stats, then don’t care about stats. For the people that like them, why not have them?
I’m a person that ultimately doesn’t care about stats that much. But they are nice to have and look at occasionally.
The stat that I WOULD like and keep track of though is a “headshot” stat. That’d be super cool. They have it as a point/damage modifier in the game already so it wouldn’t be to hard to count the number of headshots. That be something I’d enjoy looking at for sure.
They didn’t,they just confirmed a server browser which all BFs have
I don’t see how you would “enjoy” looking at a stat ,but each to his own.Yeah,the problem is that i don’t care,so that’s why i don’t want to see them.If you shove K/D and spm in my face all the time,in my profile,in the scoreboard,in the forums where everyone bashes for K/D,then i won’t want to cap flags,i want to increase that,or else it’s like seeing a “LOOK AT HOW BAD YOU ARE” label everywhere.I don’t want to have people playing for k/d in CQL when they could be capping flags,or bash each others k/d in the forums
There could be a simple solution.Turn off stats.So easy i could program it myself.If you select that option,all your stats in the page are “N/A”.Similarly i don’t want to show my k/d in the scoreboard,i want to show my vehicles destroyed and flags capped.Why should k/d take a priority over that
In that case then yes, I’d love to let battle log die. Hated it since it was released. Worst thing to happen to the game since origin and ea crippling rush mode.
I’d like an option to disable the stats screen.
What is the hatred of battlelog?
I like being able to login and check a few things, set my load out, then play…
I am on PC though…all of you who don’t like it on console?
Not sure. It doesn’t really affect console much IMO. The server browser is in the game. Only time there is an issue is when battlelog doesn’t open up to allow you to join on a friend. The simple fix is to restart the application (the game), which takes less than a minute.
I’m on PC too and i explained my reasons for not liking it.Stat ,bugs,bad performance,bloat etc
People who dont like battlelog are the same people who wouldnt buy steam games because steam was “spyware”.
Honestly, it’s objectively better than an in game server browser. i can see if the servers i want are available before i even launch the game. that’s nice.
How is that any different than opening the game and seeing in the in-game browser which servers are available
Also you could find a better way to spend your time than fill each thread with your negativity and irritating attitude
its faster than launching a game and skips all of the startup videos EVERY company uses now. i can use the better battlelog plugins to help sort favorites. I can more easily follow friends and such.
and negativity? you’re the one hating on battlelog.
“Battle log is unavailable”
This is why, it works on the website, not on the game, sometimes it does not recognise that I’m in a game, does not recognise my friends online/in game, joining on friends sometimes puts me in a completely different server.. etc etc I do like it, it just never works
I guess this is possible for consoles as well…never thought of that. Good point.
Presumably, if a person is looking at a server browser, they’ve already decided they’re going to play a game.
Critiquing a feature isn’t necessarily negativity. Smearing people because they don’t like a feature, however, is.
I’m not sure that Battlelog is faster at connecting to a new game. I note that Battlefront takes a shorter time to load levels from in-game than Battlefield 4 does to launch levels from Battlelog.
What I don’t like about Battlelog is its unreliability, and how long it takes to leave a game, and join another server - which takes a long time, and I presume longer due to the game needing to shut down back to Battlelog, before it launches freshly again into a new game.
But I like its ability to browse servers and look at full server pages, without being in a game. I think it would be optimal to have an in-game server browser that lets for switching servers without closing the game, but also Battlelog, to browse, and favourite servers, and do all the things that Battlelog does now.
Looks like it will be in-game
I liked the old way of having everything inside the game. I used to think that having everything all in the game was just better.
But…
BattleLog has grown on me. 
I really haven’t had any issues with it’s functionality in a very long time now.
I do not mind having to install it Origin either. Origin is just like Steam for me. I use it just to consolidates my Digital games for me. Installing from them isn’t an issue. All the other feature each one has I do not use and just turn off when possible. 
Opening BattleLog and Origin isn’t much of an issue to me. When I start my PC now the first thing I do is Double Click the game’s BF4 ICON, even when I am not going to play the game. It is like my De Facto Browser Shortcut now. 
Do not ask me why it just is. This makes it so when I do want to play the game everything is up and running for me to just find a browser and join, all because it is all already running.
I have no issue with the actual game starting from joining a server in BattleLog because the actual game basically takes about the same amount of time to start and even less really than starting & joining a server of a game where everything is all in the game. This is do to the fact that everything else is already running for me do to my force of habit of starting the browser in the first place. So the when I decide to play BF4 I just click on the Multiplayer Tab and pick a server. It then starts and joins the game skipping all the usual we see in Loading a game. Such as all the various developer and publisher Logo Screens, & even movie cut screen, Etc. All I see when I play BF4 is the Server’s Load Screen. It is just a matter a a few short click on the mouse for me.
I do not have Origin setup to start on Windows Startup either but for those that do, that is just one step they don’t have to go through. Also a Browser starts faster than games usually do, usually. You can setup the Server List as a favorite in your Browser or even have it setup as your home screen if you wished and it would really cut down the time it takes to start playing BF. Then put a Add-On in like Better Battlelog and the process of joining games actually becomes a lot more fluid. At least in my opinion it does.
One side benefit of BattleLog is that you can actually look for and start to join another server through BattleLog without actually having to go through the process of exiting the server you are already on. Just encase you don’t find one and decide to want to stay int he one you are already in. If it was all in-game you would not be able to do this. You can do other things in BattleLog as well while still in the match. Open BattlePacks you get, Go through your LoadOut without having to be dead and in the Spawn selection screen, etc.,.
But the one feature I really like about BattleLog and I really can’t play with out now is BattleScreen. They probably could have that on a game where everything is inside the game, but who knows. I am not even sure if we will see BattleScreen in BF1 but it has spoiled me. BF just doesn’t feel right now without it and since it is a part of BattleLog I do not want to see it go. LOL
Anyways… Like I said at the begging. BattleLog has grown on me.
nah man, i look at the browser to see if there are even any servers worth looking at, THEN i decide if i want to play.
serious.
So basically you suck at the game and you dont want people to know that you suck k. You’re not getting teamwork out of randies in a pub match. If you want team work go play comp.. Having others see your stats doesnt determine if someone is going to play as a team or not especially not on console.
1.Enjoy your hate speech report
2.You play on console,you have no say on judging anyone’s skill,or talking about teamwork ,when the playerbase is people eating doritos on their sofa
3.Learn to read the whole post before polluting the thread
4.Yes,stats do determine how people play,because most people want their stats for attention and as long as they are forcibly visible they will go out of their way to make them look better
