Looking at theGame needs real tactics and depth to be sustainable not this AAA excrement where every moment of the game is supposed to be rewarding (which results none of the game play is rewarding). Looking at the new DLC I personally don’t find any of the maps interesting to play. It’s more like they are leftover maps from the main game which they just decided to split and release as DLC later on.

You will get insulted if you want to promote team play in the chat and generally most of the time lot of people behave like idiots or children. So it’s not entirely this game’s fault it plays the way it does because albeit all it’s faults, BF1 still has all the tools to make the experience deep and enjoyable enough…
there isnt much to keep the player base playing this game, dont get me wrong, few days of game time for 60± EUR is pretty good trade (compared to other games). But when you think about that all whats needed to fix this franchize is money and HR (which they apparently dont have), it makes you sad inside…
Yeah, I think the game grew too big for it’s own good. When they purposefully market game for big audience it usually is being made for the largest common nominator. Which in this case is you need flashy explosions and cool guns, everything else is secondary. In this mindset it’s hard to know how much is EA and how much is DICE thinking.
But then there are people who cry here with capitals “PLANE IS OP” “TANK IS OP” etc. They don’t realize that tanks are really scary on battleground. You don’t eliminate tanks alone, even when it was WW1 level of technology. What the game designers want players to do here is to team up together to take out tanks, for example. There is no need to “nerf” any of this. Just team up together, device a plan and eliminate them. But most of the players just want to get headshots and … this contributes nothing to general goal of the game.
BF1 could have more separation between the classes as of now it’s weird mix of CoD and BF and it doesn’t really work well in big areas. Then there is this weird issue that not a single person plays the flagship mode Operations and new Frontlines are totally empty too - this is more than weird. I don’t understand why.
Maybe they could have forced people more to do specific tasks and roles. But it’s gone now - all what matters to EA is money and game sold like hot cakes. Now that it has been released they are already working on new Star Wars game etc and BF1 is not their primary task. Which is kinda sad as the game needs to mature up still.
Perhaps because something is actually wrong with vehiclebalance this time?
And the average teamplay (very rare to happen on public servers) cannot down good pilots nor good tankers.
Let’s balance it around the players we have rather than the players we wished we had.
This, along with other reasons, is why people are quitting bf1 pc already.
Someone distracts tank, there’s smoke grenades and stuff. Others drop 2 mines to a good location. Repeat that with few other assault guys if they are driving around (usually they circle same areas). Vehicle gone. K-bullets works really well too. Crying about tanks being impossible is… very sad!

Messed up HC settings compared to BF3/4
Server Rental program is a mess, difficult to find servers if/when you do rent them.
Only 64 player CQ maps. Way too much imho.
Main reasons I and 99% of my clanmates went back to BF4.
On BF4 we have 3 or 4 well admin’d servers we play on. Like going to your favorite bar.
DICE came out with a relatively good running game, but completely fubar’d the social aspect of the game. Weapon/vehicle balance issues as well. Not to mention the patches they come out with rarely deal with issue users are complaining about.
I found the vehicle imbalance to be worse in BF4
BF1 in 2017 LUL
Its like a patient on coma that you keep alive but you know he will never wake up.
Casualfield 1 got what it deserved. You make a game for casuals, the game will die in 6 months. You make a game with a decent skill gap, the hardcore players will keep it alive even after 6 years of release (BF3)
IMO They made BF1 to be more like Battlefront in nearly every way instead of keeping the core Battlefield template.
It defiantly feels like some hybrid version.
All i rember doing in bf1…was waiting.
Only thing missing is 3P infcamera, so you can watch your pretty weaponskins(that you bought 50 battlepacks to get) and how nice your Premium Only pink batmancape goes with it.
That’s because many console players like me, migrated to other games, without that BF1 atrocious legit aimbot, like R6 Siege or jumped the border to PC train.
Totally agreed!!!
They clearly don’t care they have your money and make the majority of it via console where I am told there are next to no hackers.
It’s probably only marginally affecting there bottom line, the end.
Exactly, Battlefield 1 represents everything what is bad in gaming industry these days - cancerous business practices among other things. But of course bashing it here doesn’t do much I need to vote with my own actions, and not buy the game in the first place.
Never trust a male player with a ladies name and avatar 
I have quit BF1 only because of the rotten UI. I can’t be bothered spending 30+ minutes on finding a populated server. I’m primarily looking for Operations and HC games and 99% of my joins land on an empty server.
Move BF1 to Battlelog and let us search Operations games just like the others.
Some pro players don’t see macros or ESP overlays as cheating ! They post their pro vids on you tube and tell themselves how good they are and that everyone else is using them too . It’s like Pro cycling /athletics drug use
my two kL mates got banned few months back and unnbaned few weeks ago (" error in SW detection on bf+ff", ye right…) they havent touched bf since, “we cant be bothered” + lost faith in the system itself
I personaly use bf for pidgeon mindless slaughter, to clear my head after work day. This game, with all it lacks, isnt suited for anything else. No social aspects, servers, anticheat, tournaments, skill bar. It doesnt have anything previous battlefields had.
