Yeah, I struggled to fly any of the aircraft, something I don't recall struggling with in any of the previous BF games. They are very difficult to control and don't respond intuitively. Is it an intentional decision meant to nerf them?

As with Battlefront 2 I won't be won over by an improved game when the situation around release was so despicable. I very much am very forgiving and willing to hand out 2nd chances, but some game launches are so abhorrent that I lose that ability.

Used to love the BF series really wish this game was better. I regret buying MW2, all the skipping around and flopping on the ground with SMG spam is so fking stupid I hate it. DMZ mode is good at least.

I'd much rather play Battlefield 1, but I missed the 5$ discount.....

I'll probably grab this when it hits 5$ too....just to see what the hubbub is about.

It's been included with EA Play since last weekend. It does play a lot better than at release. I only played two hours of the ten hour trial I had as it was that bad, and I've hundreds of hours in the other BF games. I've no idea what they've done to helicopters, but I don't seem to be able to fly them any more.

My GeForce 750 GTX can't play. Boo!

Played some bot matches to get a feel for things and learn how to play. It's much tighter and more dialed in than when I played the beta last year. The bots play Conquest pretty well, and they can be set to different levels of difficulty to provide different levels of challenge. The maps are expansive and nicely rendered, and though I feel like they're not as nice looking as they could be, my 1080ti handled 1440P without any issues. It's a lot of fun, and I'm tempted to pick it up so I can play coop with my cousin.

Also it was a nice to play as Michael K. Williams. He passed away last year, so I had no idea he had lent his likeness and voice to the game. I didn't even recognize him at first, I was just trying different characters out. Then he said a few words, and I was like "holy shit!" It was a fun moment. You feel me?

It's not perfect though. I played a game of Breakthrough, and I captured the first waypoint of the sector with my squad, but no one would go capture the second waypoint. Everytime I went up to get it no one would come with me, and the flag wouldn't change. Maybe there's some trick to it, but I was unable to advance, and the bots seemed useless.

I guess this is a good an opportunity as any. It has been out for a year, so it's in as good a shape as it's gonna get.
