One thing to add to what @disposalist said above: YouTubers in general (in general I repeat) are veterans of the franchise who have only become “game changers” and gotten the opportunity to be sponsored by EA because many, many, many other veterans of the franchise think their content and gameplay is helpful for the series as a whole. Of course they’re going to have some misinformation (that’s the internet for you) and they will also variously have opinions that many find repugnant or wrong. But I do think it’s not over the top to say they’ve earned their place at the table with DICE (especially considering their influence is somewhat overestimated by the community). EA are of course going to prop up big YouTubers because those kinds of alliances mean mo money. But DICE have always needed go-betweens with the community. They’ve never been particularly good at direct communication with the community as a whole (just being honest here), and the YouTubers have provided that contact between the devs and the community. Like it or not it’s not likely to go away any time soon. My personal opinion is that you should only listen to their advice and tips with caution, but trust that “news” they drop is generally trustworthy info coming straight from devs in a lot of cases (sometimes it’s frustrating wild speculation, though). Otherwise, just use your own intuition: if you don’t like them, don’t listen to them. Personally I find JackFrags to be the best content generator in the BF community and I’ve never been off put by much of anything he’s put out. But I disagree that DICE are changing the game only because of a big YouTuber’s cry video. They’re influential, but not that influential.
What peole think about the youtubers.
- Levelcap : onley money in hes head.and crying..
- Westie: crying ABOUT EVRYTHING he will when he wants,. becouse hese a dicefrind *kuch kuch *
- Jackfrags: battlefront ,he dont care about bf1?..
we need some frish new youtubers… :')
SUCCSES 
Becouse off thiss allot of changed [email protected] westie gamechanger*** DoggTag He dont desevr it… he"s alwys Crying man coman.
I don’t watch youtubers at all, if you have time to watch others play the game, why not just play it yourself lol.
It’s not so much “watch them play” as “watch them play new stuff when you can’t be bothered to install CTE or don’t get invited to alpha testing” etc.
Some people do watch others play, but yeah, can’t imagine that being a thrill, but, for example, I streamed some CTE play on the new night time map the other day and got a few hits from people interested in seeing it shrug
If you’re thinking of buying Battlefield, watching others play is often better than reading reviews. If you have battlefield and are thinking of getting premium, watching streams of the DLC maps or whatever is good. If you’re wondering if unlocking the new DLC or Spring patch weapons is worth it, then recordings of them in use might be handy.
All of the above is on my Youtube channel 
The bayonet charge did need some twesking.This just literally happened this morning.
I see a guy
I unload my shotgun into him
Bayonet charges right through my shotgun and kills me
LoL unlucky. Soon a charging guy will be as tough as an angry fairy… Outnumbered I know, but I think that’s a shame.
Give me all those grammars!
Most you tubers I watch complain about the same things that annoy me the charging system being the main one.
Levelcap is the worst. I agree with his comments about grenades but he seems to think you should be able to win any engagement, at any distance, no matter what class you choose. He justifys this by saying a skilled player should be able to overcome any circumstance that would give a noob an advantage.
The bayonet charge happens so seldom (to me anyway) even the cheap around the corner kills, Im not even sure why this is an issue.
this tubers know nothing about the game, just superficial knowledge, wrong gun reviews/everything, I don’t trust reviews but common sense and observation. Btw this is no open to discussion what they post, it’s like watching TV, you can’t counterargument and comments are left unanswered or deleted. I just hope that nobody is taking them seriously. This is just 1 user experience against 40.000 that play the game or more, they aren’t the voice of the community, in fact being quite detached from it
Exactly. Doesn’t anybody else find a guy hurtling through the door screaming amusing, even if they get you straight in the earhole?
Since the mission that includes 25 bayonet kills I seem to get kebabbed several times per game…
Im look some video’s but Its alle crying like the same westie go work dont cry. … stop youtube and ghet real worK u are horrible @ youtube…
Look again on westies twitter..
Comment.. remove the shotgun hunter 10 DUDE?..
No-one likes the Model 10 - only answer… pull out your own Model 10!
I reckon he works off inside information… maybe Dice ask him to test the water, to justify a bunch of changes they have in mind..?
The “remove sentries from TDM although I don’t play it” video really annoyed me. Really did lol, used to watch his stuff, unsubbed his channel right there.
Ye. Minority we dont care about sry.
We cannot make everyone happy, thats just how it is. Life is unfair you dont get it as you wish always. Bayonett charge should be the least thing thing to worry about. The game is more than just that. Itll still be ingame but more balanced and fair.
Many have been asking for this change. Everything from the most casual player to youtuber to the best/most active players in the game have been complaining about it.
The mechanic is broken and silly and needs to be changed asap. (And it will)
What is more of a shame is that the game will “evolve” to a point where only humourless purists with ultra-low pings can enjoy themselves.
Sentries were a headline selling point at launch; removing them = less people get to have a blast. I Like seeing people play well with the sentry, & thoroughly enjoy killing them, even if I take a ton of deaths in the process. It’s a sub-game.
Bayonets are already hit & miss, & are one of the funniest things in the game. Dude, I have clip after clip of guys charging about in a big arc screaming where they miss & our team takes the guy out. Hilarious. But maybe diferent on PC, you can’t make tight turns on XB1.
What I don’t like, is You-Tubers who ask leading questions of their huge audience, steering them to a certain conclusion.
Go read the comments on Westie’s video re: sentries; check how many people answer “I don’t play those modes, but yes, it’s really unfair how you explain it. Take them out.”
Getting people to say what you want them to say, & people falling for it.
This is what happens when DICE listens to the same handful of people who don’t know what the they are talking about.
Bayonet charge - a complete joke mechanic, hooray it’s getting changed to something reasonable.
Melee take down aim bot and auto kill with anything less than 100 health - just rubbish and is getting fixed, good.
sentries / battle pickup = fine, damage reduction/extra health not fine.
Cavalry - = fine, off the horse damage reduction/ extra health not fine.
Changed Conquest points system - ruined the game mode IMO and created the “zerg” which has almost destroyed any point in defending flags and exaggerated grenade spam , suppression effects and bullet spread. All being looked at and changed soon.
Netcode - well, Dice have shown their intent for the best possible on-line gaming experience through ping/latency restrictions (a final hooray for that) but unfortunately their new server regional setup is not mature enough to deliver it without screwing a fair few players over, but it has basically put people on notice that this is the future direction and hopefully ping limited servers will start to appear in BF1 and should definitely be the norm for the next BF.
If the youtubers have helped hasten some of these changes for the better then all credit to them.
