Yup makes you wonder why the population is going down steadily? Jokes
We pay for the game to play fair and there anti cheat is a joke and we have to play with the odds agsaint us.
18.5k views in a cheating thread and nothing from dice.
Direct x thread nearly 1m views nothing from dice.
And the pc population is saturated with cheaters, along with constant fps drops, lag, errors and crashes.
And then there's the cheaters with no aim not who still have a advantage (no fog, view all players etc) which will never be picked up.
It's 2017, it's a AAA game, they charge £40 a copy
And yet the experience is shocking, yes dice lets all play some more when the cheating is rampant? NOT.

It's simply a unfinished game on pc, or that's how it feels..I do love the game and the gameplay for me is great but all of the issues with the fps drops, lag and the graphics issues are a real chore, you pay for a car you get a car with 4 wheels not one with 3 and no steering wheel!
I get they had the budgets cut and for me and a lot of other it feels ea are leaning towards console as of now, the monthly updates are a joke just because they like to keep pc and the other consoles all in sync etc but they can hotfix pc issues but they choose not too? Doesn't make sense! The issues with direct x too don't really make sense, as other games are fine and it's only battlefield!
It's a great game, just unfinished! And also with the naive people saying they have no bugs or whatever you are blind! We as customers shouldn't have to upgrade our rigs when we get errors, massive fps lags and cpu issues. The server browser is broken and hardcore isn't even hardcore.
Oh and the cheaters, yeha there rampant. Flying around the map, invincible players..wall hacking which doesn't get picked up. Fairfight is a joke on pc at the moment. If a player can spawn with a tank hunter class, fly etc and not be picked up in a 60min game of operations it's nothing short of a joke.

BUT THIS GAME IS UNBALANCED
OP TANKS AND AEROPLANES
OP LEVEL 10 WEAPONS
WTF IS THIS ****?
OP level 10 weapons? Christ.
Oh.. I see it already, you're level 11 and haven't unlocked a single one of them yet.
The only one slightly worth using is the Hellriegel and even then, that one is outclassed by the Automatico in most situations. The other three are total crap.
It feels that way because that's exactly how it is. PC communities have no chance to thrive under these conditions.
- Start with an expensive RSP that is somehow lacking in the most basic of options and admin abilities.
- Then take a Server Browser that is broken and doesn't really show Rented Servers, has no option to filter only Renter Servers, and has awful default filters which require the player to annoyingly attempt to match to those of the Rented Servers...
- Combine that with the fact that many PC players are still constantly crashing, having unexplained FPS drops, and other in-game issues.
- Hardcore is dead because DICE thinks 125% damage is Hardcore.
- Custom Servers still set to 200% can't be found unless the player sets filter 200%, blank all others.
- Still no Custom Games tab for SIR servers.
- I can go on...
Given all this, I know this why I'm personally not playing - why I'm just not feeling this game at all. I just bought a bunch of great games on Steam. 8 games for less than I spent on BF1. I won't be playing BF1 for a while.
DICE has confirmed that changes are coming to RSP and how the browser treats those servers...but time will tell. And I also don't think they intend to have it ready for the next patch. I don't think there's an ETA on that stuff as of yet.
It's unfortunate that DICE (or more specifically, EA) think it's ok to develop games this way...Changes need to come faster than EA is allowing for right now. Monthly patches don't do it. Especially in a PC landscape where games are patched daily by some devs if needed.
Seems to me they simply don't care as long as they still sell copies and DLC. The experience is absolutely secondary to them. I've lost a lot of respect for DICE.
Ok, then help me chose a weapion f f s
I am getting destroy? Every game i am 100 spm and a k/d of 0,7
I even went 2 kills ( by mistake , with a nade) and 19 deaths....
I lsoe every GUN ON GUN, and i use cei rigotti but i lose?
So what am i suposed to say? I dont brag i am good , i know im not good....but THE STARTER WEAPONS DONT HELP ME EITHER
This is why i say maybe i quit ( because of frustration)
I play to have fun not to spaawn - get killd in seconds, rinse and repeat
AND MY GAME RUNS FINE BTW, problem is WEAPONRY
I AM NOW MEDIC LEVLE 3
SHUD I GO ASAULT MAYBE ?
It depends, man. Many starter guns are quite OK and even then, getting to level 3 for each class doesn't take long and by then you have unlocked all the interesting weapons.
If you like playing medic, and you always find yourself close to the enemy and lose then there's three options:
1) If you want to stay medic, use a CQB weapon like the M1907 Sweeper or Autoloading .25
2) Get further away, up to like 50 meters because that's where the medic is supposed to be
3) Switch to assault if you like running and gunning
Best medic weapons in my opinion are the Selbstlader M1906 (choose the variant you prefer, all are good) and the Mondragon Storm.
Please tell me you are kidding. Trust me when I say that if you just took time to get GUD you wouldn't feel this way. The problem is not the things you mention, but that your skill level is very very low. Another case of a player being lazy and complaining in stead of putting in the time and effort to learn how to easily deal with vehicles and weapon kits.
No to nerf's
Yes to get gudder
Yes it's very sad they develop a game this way, and with the stuff with the filters for the server browser and such I'm no coder but for these guys should it be really that hard?
The thing which must be worrying for the population and the life of this game is, by the time dice fix everything 75% of us will not play it again because of the way it is when we last played. And that's even if they fix anything, slow progress isn't good for a new game which was hyped.
I'm not so sure about that part...It seems a lot of people come back to Battlefield games. Usually around the DLC launches. BF4 was an absolute dumpster fire for most of its lifespan, but people eventually started playing it fairly steadily. But I know every time I went back to it, it was for a round or two and I'd quickly be reminded of why I hate BF4.
I like / love a lot of the gameplay in BF1. The vehicles are great. I love the balance between classes. The rock paper scissors game is all there. Whether or not the community treats it that way is another thing entirely...But the balance is indeed there.
DICE just shot themselves in the foot on PC when it comes to Rental Servers, Admin ability, and overall support. If this game was supported anywhere close to games like Rainbow Six Siege (They've released patches a week apart. They do hotfixes.), it would be in decent shape. But this insistence on patching all platforms together forces them into monthly patches, and it's not enough.
Each console has more than double the PC population.
This is why patches are released for all platforms at once. This is why the directX crash hasn't been fixed (consoles don't get it).
PC numbers aren't bad. Just certainly not a priority. Basically the game could be DEAD on PC, and it really wouldn't matter to DICE / EA. It really wouldn't. They'd cut their loss and move on. I can't blame them, either. Consoles don't really require anti-cheat.
100%
Problem is that those gripes are pretty crippling to the PC community, and they're showing no urgency in getting it fixed. Another month of this isn't gonna work.
