June 29, 20169 yr Author Did you get an email; telling you that you were invited or did yours just show up in Origin? I got an email that just showed up and I installed today. Nope :sad: Give us your review after you tested it. Will do. So far its okay. Slower than BF4, land vehicles are very overpowered.
June 29, 20169 yr nothing here either I guess they know i won't buy it if they don't have admin ran rental servers. Still not buying the game. This is not helping their case either
June 30, 20169 yr Author Did you pre-order or sign up for it? No. I signed up for the Battlefront Alpha and was accepted for both the closed Alpha and Beta and played the open Beta. I was active in the Alpha/Beta forums with issues. This one I heard nothing about or a place to sign up and today had an email from EA to join the alpha. Already have 4 bug posts.
June 30, 20169 yr Darn, nothing on my end yet. *edit* The only Alpha I've gotten to do was for battle.net's Heroes of the Storm.
June 30, 20169 yr well please info us as to how the game plays and give us all the ins & outs of what you think.
June 30, 20169 yr I got the closed alpha invite this morning. Downloading it now will see how it is. It's the first alpha/beta/etc I was ever invited to - no idea how I got on the list this time.
June 30, 20169 yr Hello guys Worked late tonight and to my surprise, I got a code to try BF1 Who else will be trying it? Is it worth it? CMDR Onrus DV. 101
June 30, 20169 yr Author There is a server browser, its not prominent compared to the game mode match making button. I like the dynamic conditions on the map Vehicles are over powered, especially the light (one person tank). With two round types (HE and Canister) two gadgets (alpha has the ability to drop a gas grenade (I would think mustard) and a medkit, as well as the ability for the driver to repair from inside, there is no reason to not be the light tank. Went 16-0 in my last game. Other than the light tank and armored car, infantry are faster than the other vehicles Artillery can have its facing changed but is not mobile, you have to reload after every shot and learn how to arc a shot for distance Zoom, minimal zoom capabilities Shotguns are great up close but have a definite range limitation Biplanes fly slow, not sure how else to describe it, it does not feel like you're flying the same vehicle as BF4 with a different skin Most of the terrain and buildings are destructable Instead of tickets counting down, points count up to 200, I suspect it depends upon the number of points held, similar to chainlink in that both teams can increment in parallel but based upon the number of flags captured at a different rate I've tried to take screenshots and fraps movie. Everything comes back with a black screen. EA/Dice have something preventing this. Screenshots from my phone of the menus.

July 1, 20169 yr Red is there a way to spot or mark targets for the artillery? I sure hope so. Or it's gonna be the Blind leading the Blind. :blink:
July 1, 20169 yr I also got the email. Have to say I enjoy it so far. Quite a lot actually. I can't wait for the game to be released. It's much better than what I expected. CMDR Onrus DV. 101 Vehicles are not overpowered. People just suck at killing em. I destroy em so fast it's not even funny CMDR Onrus DV. 101 I find vehicles are easy to destroy if teamwork or a tactical advance is in effect. 2 hits disabled on most vehicles and thirsty hit destroy. The guns are very dynamic. As well as the melee weapons. Lots of destructibility, if you hit the sandbank with a rockets, it bounce through if the angle is right and you get covered in dirt. Snipers are balanced with rest of the classes. I just find most poeple playing battlefield 1 atm are noobs that complain about how they get owned. CMDR Onrus DV. 101

CMDR Onrus DV. 101 I honestly don't understand your comment on the vehicles. People are going teens/twenties and zero in the light tank. The ability to out drive a grenade before it does damage, the ability to drop a med kit or gas grenade and two types of ammo plus repair from the inside. No other vehicle in BF has had that. Looks like they nerfed the shotguns.
July 2, 20169 yr Author Flying... Can "glide" for a period of time if you throttle down, decreases the engine noise and helps in turning Damage affects one's ability to fly by causing the aircraft to veer in the direction that the control surfaces are damaged. Take damage to the right wing, the aircraft with dip and bank to the right Planes stall now and then nose over Like other vehicles the pilot can repair, found its best to repair 2/3s of the way through a loop so that you're flying up and somewhat into the center of the map, avoids flying out of bounds while repairing Hard to hit infantry in a strafe and the machine-guns don't do much damage to land vehicles The Bomber has the pilot drop multiple grenades Flak cannons are deadly to aircraft.
July 3, 20169 yr I doubt that bomb is the only way to destroy those light tanks. With good tactics they can be killed very easely. CMDR Onrus DV. 101 People always complain about things being too OP. If you were in that war. Things was always OP. That is just how technology was. They had to find ways to beat it. Wish people would understand that back in the day, they didn't nerve something when the enemy complained about their assessment getting kicked. They went all out. You find a way to kick as or you end up snoozing and losing. CMDR Onrus DV. 101
July 4, 20169 yr You are equipped in infantry with 2 tank grenades and a Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr anti-tank rifle which you have to fire lying down.
