A salt Rifle

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/57wma3/battlefield_1_review_thread/2

Haven't seen a military FPS been reviewed so favorably since Cod 4/MW2. Never has a BF single player been praised so heavily. Even Bad Company 2 was faulted for its predictable "twist".

Looks like it's the real deal, boyz.
I didn't read what was in the link (since it 404'd for me) but it
YouTube

doesn't seem like it is the real deal.
Doesn't Total Biscuit shit on everything though?
He's a bit of a miserable sod.
As much as I like criticizing things (and trust me, I do), I'm not sure I can give much credit to people who make an entire career of just shitting on things without so much as giving positives either. It's insanely easy to just shit on everything.
Yep

It must be a pretty shitty life if the only enjoyment you get out of it is to shit on everything that other people like.
People like a lot of things which gives you a big selection of what you want to shit on.

A big part of them like incredibly stupid things which makes it very easy to successfully shit on them for liking it.

So really, this is by far the better way of getting some enjoyment in one's life.

His criticisms of the campaign are valid though. The first level is well done, but after that you end up doing a bunch of ridiculous super soldier shit. The Italian mission where you wear a suit of plate armor and carry what is the 1918 equivalent of a mini gun while trudging up a hill and tanking bullets and bombs is really no different than your modern COD or Halo despite trying to set up the pretense of authenticity. I can forgive the flyboy campaign for doing this because at the very end the main character (whose known to be a cheat and a swindler) leaves open the possibility that the entire thing could be one elaborate tale he's spinning.

Despite his criticisms of the single player campaign he does enjoy the multiplayer.

Plus just copypasting a multiplayer map for the singleplayer is kind of disappointing.

This we wuz souljas n shiet is really starting to heck me off. Like, black German soldiers, really DICE?

I have no quarrels with games that use a diverse range of characters in a fictional or historically accurate context, but if you're going to make a WWI game at least pay some respects to the 99% of white soldiers that died in the war.

They nerfed it bad.
I spent entire games in the beta just charging people.
But there are games now where I bounce off people even after hitting them head on with the bayonet.

Didn't get a clip of it, but I charged straight through a cluster of three people yesterday and pinged between their hitboxes, total horseshit.

Yeah it does seem out of place. Just make the black people the Americans and the Brits. The black Germans are just comical. Funny thing is they're not in SP, so they're just there for PR.

It's still a bit okay, but yeah it's odd sometimes.

So if anyone is having any of those stuttering problems from time to time in the game, where everything seems to lag, from the picture to the sound, and get choppy, just turn Ambient Occlusion and Origin Overlay off. It's helped me out a lot, and AO in this game doesn't take away too much from the games look to make you want it back on. That, plus AO is always a huge performance hog.

For what is shipped with the game, is it worth the $60 price tag? I want to get it, but I don't want to pay full price for a game which ship's with less maps than what came with 1942.

Shipped with the same maps as BF3/4. Just go to Greenman Gaming to get it for like $45.

So this is the coolest thing. During Operations, if you're squad leader and hold Q, go to social, and pick GO GO GO, you can blow the whistle. So if you take the points and you move on and everyone is screaming as they charge and it blows, it feels WW1 as fuck and it's cool.

Protip: Go on Operations on Iron Wall (Monte Grappa map) and play as Austria. Then let the italians get to Sector 3, at which point you'll be given point B with a bunker. This bunker is literally invulnerable as long as you have a few medics in there. No matter what the attackers use - gas, flames, MGs, high explosives - it is impossible to lose that bunker.

Unless they crash a Zeppelin into you.

That ended our little hold-out fortress

Yeah that seems a bit glitchy

Though we managed to get back in our bunker before the italians did so it didn't change much

I think it's an intended thing, it was just unfortunate they crashed the blimp into our bunker rather than further down the mountain.

Pro tip I learned. Taking the bayonet off of your gun decreases the recoil when you rapid fire, and makes you ADS quicker. So if you're playing assault, I'd suggest taking it off for that accuracy.

The tip is among other tips in game, during loading iirc, saw it once before.

I think it also says so when you equip it to your gun. Not that having a bayonet on there matters though since the accuracy penalty is so small that it wouldn't actually impact the performance of someone who is half way decent at the game.

I saw it from Jackfrag on the BF App when loading something.

With submachine guns if you're shooting from a bit aways, it easily stabilizes it more. Ain't no aim assist on PC, so it helps keep it steady and make sure all your bullets connect.

Not enough to make a difference.
