Re: Unable to access operations campaign

@HUN_gattaca_lgBut i remember playing these maps on the base game on operations. Did anything change? And also how can i plqy these same maps like fort de vaux on conquest and other maps

@tonestones 

I also recorded a video of my Operations screen on the PC platform (this is a BF1 Standard version registered today without Premium pass).
Is the situation similar on the PS5 platform?

@HUN_gattaca_lgi even have clips of playing verdun on operations so i know that i could play these maps before without premium, it's only know that i get locked out of operation campaign

Wait a minute, i just checked my footage to verify wether i did play these maps on operatins and i noticed a differance. In the circle i can see a small star but on the other footage they have a checkmark, is there a differance between those two? Right next to the name of the mode

also can the revolution edition access the operations campaign? I got the revolution version of the game, thought it was the base game, but it actually says revolution. Should i be able to access this then?

If you have the Revolution Edition then you should have received the Premium Pass, which lets you install the DLC packs.

Have you checked all of the DLC packs are still installed @tonestones?

I don't think it's closed yet.

would the French dlc maps be free for all BF1 players?

Prise de Tahure
https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Prise_de_Tahure
Following Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure was made available to all Battlefield 1 players starting on January 16. (2018)

@tonestones You'd need to ask Sony about the artwork I'm afraid.

Dice have run free Premium days in the past so you could have played during one of those periods, or it might have been on maps which were given away free in the past, like HUN_gattaca_lg mentioned. Perhaps you do actually own Premium but forgot and don't have it installed (you'd need to see what the store says), but I imagine that's very unlikely.

Unfortunately, if you want to play every map and mode in the game, you'll need Premium. Whether that'd be worthwhile to you, though, would be up to you.

you're wrong
in the first French DLC "They shall not pass", 3 maps became free for all BF1 players later ...

@HUN_gattaca_lg Yes, I mentioned that in my last reply.

You are supposed to be able to play the ops campaign without owning premium. This is definitely a bug and has been going on since January actually. On Playstation there used to be like 5 campaign servers running every day, but then suddenly in January in the middle of the campaign that was running back then the amount of servers running dropped to maybe 1 a day. Some days there weren't even any active campaign servers. Sometimes we had 2 servers, but that was very rare. With the last campaign, the Fall of Empires, which is the only campaign which consists of 2 base game operations, we suddenly had 5 servers running each day again. And now we are back to maybe 1 server a day.

I'm sure DICE or EA has posted this somewhere, they made this change at some point, it wasn't always the case but you are definitely supposed to play the ops campaign without having to own premium.

@ElliotLH can you please forward this issue to the team? Thank you.

Edit: a quick google search found this news article detailing campaigns are now free for everyone: https://www.pcgamer.com/battlefield-1-operation-campaigns-go-free-for-everyone/

I started searching for maps and game modes in the server browser (Battlefield 1 Standard Edition without Premium Pass).
I didn't know this either until now, that all Shock operations maps are free for all players:

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/news/bf1-shock-ops-update-2018

five Shock Operation maps:
Giant’s Shadow
Prise de Tahure
Lupkow Pass
Zeebrugge
River Somme

Best of all, the Shock Operations experience is available to all players, even if you don’t own the expansion packs that offered these maps. (For access to expansion pack maps outside of the Shock Operations mode or full access to the expansion packs, you’ll still need to purchase the expansion pack or Battlefield 1 Premium Pass separately.)
