These will then be introduced based on “feedback and other circumstances”. Thirdly, though game mode can be customized, DICE will actually restrict the number of modes available in the beginning.

The second is the pricing – PC players will have to pay a whopping$149.99 for 180 days as opposed to Xbox One and PS4 players paying $99.99 for the same period. The first problem is not making them available with the launch of Battlefield 1.

This is essentially a way for EA to introduce servers that players can run on their own and host custom matches on. Of the more annoying features yet to launch with Battlefield 1 (which should be available as of November 15 th) is the Rent-A-Server program. Oh and you also have to complete the medals in a specific order, forcing you to prioritize medal progress at every given step as opposed to, you know, playing the game. To top it all off, there’s a bug which prevents players from earning medals even as they complete objectives. You don’t get to choose which medals to pursue during a given week – simply pick one from the five offered and good luck (and no, you can’t track multiple medals). However, not only do the objectives seemingly diverge away from team play – which is the point of Battlefield 1 – but they’re randomly rotated each week. The motive behind the Medal system sounds fair – complete a set of objectives each week for a chance at EXP and a neat little medal for your career. However, with the UI how it is and things just being generally confusing – not to mention players wanting to skip that headache nine times out of ten – and some matches can devolve into complete clusterfraks. Given how you’ll have a better chance of survival by being in a full squad of five, it would make sense to unlock squads from the beginning. You’ll see numerous squads with a player or two and be unable to join. The actual problem with squads is how they can be locked.

Forget how this makes things a little weird in modes like Rush which are 12 v 12. Here are five things that hardcore players hate about Battlefield 1 and while your annoyance mileage may vary on some, there’s still plenty of things to feel annoyed about.īattlefield 1’s multiplayer teams are often broken up into squads of five players. Then again, it wouldn’t be a DICE game without a few annoying things nagging you at every turn. In between server troubles and a few bugs, the launch has been mostly stable. DICE’s Battlefield 1 may almost be a month old but it’s still going strong.
