I am up to level 41 on the Xbone. I think the game was done beautifully. It's the most immersive first person shooter I have played to date. You get a real sense of urgency when your trying to cap an objective and mortar rounds are getting closer, or bombs are being dropped around you. I find myself going prone and playing tactically more so than in any other FPS.
The weapons feel true to period. They suck and take some skill to use in comparison to other FPS Bullet Hoses. Assault gets SMGs and Shotguns which really only work up close. Medics are probably the most versatile with single loading rifles. Reload speed, rate of fire, and small magazines being the negative. Support gets machine guns with a lot of recoil. Hard to run and gun. Almost need to be prone and setup properly to use them. I believe all the snipers are bolt action, headshot for a 1 shot kill.
My only complaint is the lack of progression and amount of guns. Each class probably only gets 3-4 guns but they come in different variants. 99% of them are unlocked at class level 3, with 1 weapon unlocked at class level 10. There are no scope or attachment unlocks. Pick a gun/variant and that is it. You quickly start playing just for weapon skins.
I still play the hell out of it, as it is fun and immersive. It's very much small squad tactical. You naturally find yourself taking point or watching the rear when your squad is moving through the streets.
Agreed, and I was a long time Call of Duty player. I broke away when Battlefield 4 came out and the graphics on PS4 were terrible. Then all the problems it had from launch.
I couldn't go back to COD since I hate all the super unrealistic future stuff, or Titan Fall, or Halo, and so on.
I am super glad that Battlefield 1 is as good and as much fun as it is. The tanks are not really that fast or the planes. Yes the Red Baron plane is the quickest and the small tank is a little faster but that really is it. I play on PS4 with other buddies who also have the game and it is a lot of fun.
