Battlefield 1

I played the Beta. Loved it.

I was really on the fence beforehand but after playing it I'll probably buy it. Given, I'm not going to buy the ridiculous (IIRC) $130 premium edition?

EDIT: Note, now that I CAN play games online.

Neal,

The one upside about hackers in a beta, is they do show where the potential hacks are.
Which allows a decent dev team to take measures to stop them...

When I started playing online many moons ago... The way you dealt with a cheater/hacker was to, despite the cheats, grind them into powder. No mercy, and focus on them.

I'm slower than I used to be, and I'm out of practice... but the "Barracuda" of old occasionally shows his head. Then the hackers/cheaters try to say I'm the one cheating.

Although, even in fast paced, "console" type games, I usually go to "calm, cool and methodical". Drives 'em nuts EVERY TIME!

My grand father served 4 years in the trenches as a heavy machine gunner, then came back home in one piece.

This game sure use freely submachine guns and semi-auto rifle like there is no tomorrow. The reality was very different.

It looks like a war fantasy for children to teach them to fall in love with death!...Is it part of a recruiting program?

Thanks, brother, that does sound good. Let me know what you think of the game, I may get it this weekend.

The Tankgewehr (13x92mm HR) is already my new favorite weapon.
Great fun to hunt with that.
