The mini tanks were OP as frick. Don't be that guy. Class wise everything felt pretty balanced, can't really say any weapon or class was OP.

75% of the population will play assault or medic.
The initial guns for each class suck. keep grinding.
All vehicles pretty much destroy, unless you run into a team with good assault players.

definitely the fastest way around the map.

And as long as you pick good routes and flank the enemy, you can get a couple of kills beheading the unsuspecting. The mechanics of the sabre + horse kills wasn't perfect in the BETA, so the kill doesn't show up immediately. Takes a second or so. But it's hell of a lot of fun and extremely glorifying when you get those kills.


shooting people horseback is extremely difficult, but it should be

I heard the hit box for the sword swipes is insanely big.

Horses were fun in the beta.

Gamespot gave BF1 a 9 and called it DICE's best work since Bad Company 2. Glad to see they nailed it.

It's getting really good reviews, multiplayer AND campaign.

It was buggy as shite. Multiple times I'd spawn with no weapons or items. The only way to fix this was to leave the match. Hope they fixed it.

Every game has bugs. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Don't judge it by it's bugs. These days you really need to reserve judgment until about 6-9 months into the game to see if they've been fixed (they usually are) and then you can see the way the game is intended to be played.

BF4 was a train wreck at launch. They righted the ship, but DICE games usually don't come out all pretty.

That's really good news.

FPS's are going to be strong in the end of year and 2017. BF1 looks like a behemoth, Rainbow Six Siege is a very strong game and looks to another year of DLC and support, CoD Modern Warfare Remastered will draw a lot of folks (myself included) and there is the Insurgency game that looms. I'm pumped.

Everything was pretty balanced when I played the 10 hour trial on EA access.



Lots of people running Assault, Support and Medic. Not a whole lot of Scout but there were a few. It seems to be pretty well balanced. The tanks did feel OP though. Probably my only complaint.


ETA: Oh and save your war bonds until you start getting a higher Assault level, Medic level, etc.

Running the scout bolt action with no scope on it is so fricking fun

Should I return Mafia III, unopened, and order this instead?

Two totally different games. Depends on what you're in the mood for.
