This game is much more dead than I expected
I played my first rounds recently and I saw empty servers everywhere with only a few servers full with more than 5 people in queue.
I really got disappointed because of this.
Before, I played Battlefield 4 on PS3. And the situation is almost the same. I mean, Battlefield 4 is an old game that was released like 9 years ago, the Playstation 3 was released in 2006. And for some reason, Battlefield 1 on PC is like almost the same thing: lack of servers with different game modes. Air superiority dead. Servers with tons of people in queue...
Very disappointing.
My expectations weren't met, I thought that I could like for example, go to my server browser and play Passchendaele on conquest. But no! I couldn't play the maps that I wanted because of the lack of people and servers. Only the ones that were available at the moment. And because of my limited time of gameplay per day, the chances of playing in the map that I want are pretty low, considering the fact that this game has 32 maps compared to the 9 of the standard Battlefield 4.
Also, I expected the Operations game mode more Epic, Cool, Immersive. But it just felt like a normal game mode with only 1 server with people on it.
I expected more vehicles, but no either! Only 1 horse and 1 Tank for each team. With people that sit with their artillery truck for the entire match. The planes are awful in my opinion, not as great to pilot as in Battlefield 4, and they take a century to respawn.
I couldn't enjoy the game that much either because of my latency, I know this is my problem, but I didn't know I was going to have it. I was playing with a minimum of 200 of latency even reaching 1800+. My connection experience was even better in Battlefield 4.
The emblems on Battlefield 1 don't work properly either, I joined some matches of operations and I didn't see my emblem, only worked for me on empty servers.
I hate the vehicle customization on this game, on Battlefield 4 we could choose a lot of how did we wanted our tank or boat, etc, but on this one,you only have presets and a very limited amount of skins and models.
I actually hate the fact that when I was in Zeebrugge on Operations, in the attacker team, I was super excited that I could use a Zeppelin, But it got destroyed in seconds by an AA gun, many many times, I tried to take it down, but at least for me it was impossible at the moment.
I don't know, in conclusion. I got very, but Very disappointed with this game... 😞
