    We played the open beta for 6 or 7 hours now. Overall it's a disappointment, as was the closed beta. The game got a few strenghts though:

    • Bolivia is stunning. The music is very fitting, too.
    • The clothing and the weapon-customization are the best I ever saw in a shooter. The character-editor could need a few more options.
    • I didn't have any performance or connection issues. It was okay for a beta.

    The issues:

    • The world doesn't feel alive. The civs are the typical mindless, retarted and undynamic robots which plague every Ubisoft open world title. There are not many ways to interact with the enviroment.
    • The AI sucks. Ubisoft promoted the "realistic behaviour" of the AI which is affected by the daytime. This means you got a few guards which will go to bed at night. Others stay at the same spot for the whole day. The AI of the allied rebels is even worser.
    • Gunplay feels dull. Cant realy point out why, but firing a gun doesn't feel satisfying. The sound is okay, nothing more.
    • I'm wondering if the dev's ever heard something about physics in videogames.
    • The driving and flying-mechanics are horrible.
    • The mission-design is Ubisoft-formula par excellence, except climbing on towers to discover areas. The map is clustered with "interesting" places to discover and bullshit to collect. The "story" is told via documents you can read or by radio.  
    • Enemies will recapture outposts you liberated. Means you will fight the same boring enemies on the same places ever and ever again as in Far Cry 2.
    • Bolivian drug-dealers buy choppers, flatscreens, Lamborghinis and miniguns for their trucks instead of such fancy things like doors, windows and beds. Sometimes you find more choppers then cars.
    • Animations look pretty weak.

    We played on the highest difficulty. We had some fun when we attacked one of the heavy defended outposts in the west. We scouted the area, then started to infiltrate the weakest parts of the camp. We did good until this brainless rebels showed up and then deceided to attack with one of their minigun-trucks. At the end the cartel throw blackhawk after blackhawk at us. Goodbye, Mr. Imersion. Also sad that this was the only way to somewhat challenge us.

     

    Compared to The Division and the beta's of The Division this game is cringeworthy. I thought Ubisoft learned some lessons about reptitive games. The already got a beating for The Division, and I think people will rip GRW into parts. It doesn't feel finished or good in any way and they wont fix any of those issues within 2 weeks. Thanks for the beta, this will save me 60 bucks.

    Unfortunately for me this game is like the village idiot. :D

    The idea is identical to the battlefield but adapting the ideas of Arma 3 in the most absurd way possible. :angry:

    It could be improved by adding and modifying things here and there but of course I will not be the one who supports something that for me would be better in the trash. :rolleyes:

     

    For me this game only exists because a handful of poor unhappy have trusted the company but the result is pathetic. :wacko:

     

    If there was no Arma 3 would be a good alternative but there are things like Arma 3, Insurgency, Battlefield ... is nothing but a poor distorted game that should not have been born. :mellow:

     

    Unfortunately you can't dislike posts in this forum.

    I'm one of the poor and unhappy ones that trusted the dev's, what I got so far is the most promising EA-game I ever played. Squad fills the gap between A3 and Battlefield while it is much less clumsier and easier to get into the game then A3. If you want a fast round of a tactical, combined arms PVP without a ton of mods or technical issues to deal with Squad is the game to go. Besides that it's one of the few EA-games where you actually can see some progress and improvements. If you hate Squad in a such passionate way I wonder how you enjoy A3 which literally got most of the same flaws you mentioned, often worser.  

     

    Horrible animations. - Compared to what? ArmA?

    Horrible gunplay. - Because you need some proper aim to hit something?

    Horrible sound. - What are you talking about?! 7:55  

    Idiotic gameplay. - Again, how can you enjoy ArmA or Battlefield where you do basically the same? 

    Idiotic sector control - you can`t get weapons because reasons - I don't get your point.

     

    I hope you are aware that you can get your money refunded.

    There's just was too many of us former Bundeswehr or just Bundeswehr lovers here, isn't it?

    We should buy you guys a six-pack of beers for all that questions you have to answer repetitively. ;)

     

    Talking about six-packs and repetitive answers: you can donate to Toadie via Patreon. You directly support him, I heard he uses most of that income for booze.  B)

    I'm pleasantly surprised by the game so far. Played it for 13 hours, had a lot of fun with it. It easily outmatches Battlefield 4 and of course Hardline. 

    • The game is stunning, the sounds and graphics are amazing. And oh my god, the soundtrack is a
      ! After listening to it I just don't get it why they had to fuck up the reveal trailer with this crap-song.
    • The maps are well done, I haven't found one which I realy hate to play. It seems like every map works in every gamemode. 
    • Beneath Conquest and Rush they added a new mode called Operations which is like a mix of both and a cool addition.
    • Bayonet-charges are fun as hell, at least if they work.
    • The teamplay isn't much worser then in this free Battlefield 2 version.
    • I haven't found many bugs yet or experienced crashes.
    • The SP seems to be okay. It won't define the way SP are done today, but it's enjoyable though. The episodes are interesting small stories with a few Battlefield-moments and offers a variety of gameplay-features.

     

    There are some negative points, too.

    • EA
    • The MP is still very chaotic, especially with 64 players.
    • Sometimes I got the feeling I am the only medic in the game.
    • The scout lost all the skills which made him usefull in prior Battlefields. I'd like the way you could use the recon-class in a assault-situation, equipping him with T-UGS, spawn beacon, C4, carbines, PDW's or DMR's and go in hot. Nothing of that is in the game anymore which means that the game can be clustered with recons who snipe around in the middle of nowhere. That sniper-rifles are one-shot-kills most of the time doesn't make it much better. It's very statisfying to flank around them and beat them to death with your spade, though.
    • The noobs and solo-players in the community a very annoying. No ammo drops, no reviving, no medi-bags. Sometimes you run a long way to revive someone and he will respawn in the second you arrive. And it's never been easier for players who don't know what to do to fuck up a entire round, which brings me to the...
    • ... Behemoth-system. I like the idea to give a realy weak team such a strong advantage to turn the tide. First problem is, that the Behemoth appears at unpredictable times. Sometimes we got spawn-raped for a entire round, our Behemoth appeared when the enemy only needed 100 tickets to win the game - so way to late. On other days the Behemoth spawns in a realy balanced rounds for the slightly weaker team, which usally will result in a win for this team. If a Behemoth appears, you have to focus the fire of the whole team to bring it down asap. And if you are the team with the Behemoth you can be screwed if someone controls it who got no idea how to play it.
    • There should be much more bolt-action-rifles in the game. 
    • The new web-companion sucks compared to Battlelog.

     

     My thoughts so far. Keep in mind that those are my impressions after only 13 hours (which is nothing for a Battlefield-title) so I might have missed things.

    Well after playing the beta for a few hours, I have to say DICE were absolutely spot on with their endeavor to improve cooperation between players.

    I witnessed so many instances of great teamwork, but here's a list of some of the most shining examples:

    • A landship with one player in it driving away from about 6 players all spamming the "NEED PICKUP" request.
    • A pilot of a bomber bailing out without warning, leaving his gunners to die.
    • A player stealing another player's horse, only to get it killed a few seconds later.
    • Various players abandoning vehicles for no particular reason.
    • People frequently calling each other 'faggots' 'noobs' and various other profanities (often while on the same team).
    • Medics healing and reviving literally no one.
    • Squad members ignoring any and all orders.
    • So. Many. Fucking. Snipers.

    So as you can see, DICE lived up to their promises to make Battlefield 1 a true teamwork experience.

     

     

    Sounds like buisness as usual. I bet that Battlefield One is the same random and chaotic fragfest like Hardline and Battlefield 4, and that's the reason I think I'm not going to play Battlefield One.  

     

     

    What did you expect from a copy/paste game with a new look :)

     

    And from todays battlefield-community? Pure toxic cancer, thatswhy EA can feed all this bullshit in the community without any resistance... Unfortunately I have to admit that this trend started with my favorite Battlefield, Battlefield 3.

    Sounds like an routing issue with your internet, if you haven't done so already i would restart your internet router.

     

    Worked! I always had the feeling I forgot about something minor... Thanks! :)  Thread can be closed then.

    First of all: I know that this questions should be posted in the Armaholic-forums and not here. But since I don't have access anymore to Armaholic I also can't post in the forums. Most people should know the website and I'm hoping that someone who might know a solution will read this.
     
    For maybe two weeks now I cannot access the Armaholic website anymore. My standard browser is google Chrome - I tried to connect to the website, after a minute of loading time I always got a error message which I don't recall anymore. Back then I used Win 7 and two addons (Adblock, disabled on Armaholic though and Proxy Tube). Disabling the addons didn't help, but I was able to access Armaholic via Firefox. I upgraded to Win 10 last week. Google chrome still didn't work, but I had no issues with with Edge and Firefox.
     
    Until now. Now Edge and Firefox aren't working anymore for Armaholic, too, for three days now. My friends don't have any issues. They are using Chrome, Firefox and other browsers, with and without addons, with Win7, 8 and Win10, and they don't have problems. At work I can access the websites with all browsers. I got no idea what to do. Does anyone have an idea? :(
     
    The error message I get with Chrome is: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
     
    The error messages by Edge and Firefox are the usual connection timeout messages. 
     
     
     
     
     
    Funny side comment: I'm posting this thread using the Steam ingame browser. I try to login into my BI account and I'm getting a new error message when using Chrome and Firefox: {"success":false,"message":"Internal server error.","code":500}
    When using edge I can login but I can't write anything in the post-field. What the fuck?

    A typical intervention by the ArmA gods to punish their unworthy followers is to fuck something minor up which will make a long-time-planned gamesession unplayable. Usally they do this in the form of a BIS-update which breaks that one mod of your setup which you can't ditch... ;) 

     

    We had long night discussions how to please the dreadful gods. We tried to sacrifice goats, but we haven't figured out how many are needed yet...

    Looks very promissing. I realy dig the four pbo's which allows us to only use the stuff we want. My unit is waiting for a long time for a HQ OPFOR mod, and it looks like we have two strong releases with GREF and this one here. 

     

    Good luck and thanks much for your hard work and release!

    Christ, this thread is friggin old. I'm digging it out because I'm in the search of modern war movies which I might have missed. Do you guys have any suggestions what to watch?

     

    Movies I already know:

     

    Black Hawk Down - THE modern war movie :P

    Hurt Locker

    Lone Survivor

    Act Of Valor

    Greenzone

    Generation Kill

    Korengal

    Restrepo

    Zero Dark Thirty

    Armadillo

    Jarhead

    The Battle Of Haditha

    Three Kings (Somewhat...)

    Redacted

    Over There  (sucks imho)

     

     

    Is there any modern war movie I missed and which is worth watching?

    Is there any big projects in the works before the release of the next part of Niarms?  Or do we just have to wait `till the small-ish projects are finished?

     

    The next release will be the MG3's in the next weeks. I would consider that as a big project. Besides that he is working on the ACR's ( :wub: ) and the P226's. After that he will probably go on to the SG550, 416's or SCAR's or so, but that might change.

     

    He is posting pics of his progress on twitter.

    If you're asking if the KWS version will be included, the answer is yes.

     

    I'm realy glad to read this. It's very important to have a rail for a laserpointer, especially when you are on overwatch with it. That's a thing I'm missing with the M60's... 

     

    Also, the KWS looking cool as fuck.

    Germany and Spain

     

    Germany? I doubt that. We got so many good quality offensive players, but still our coach is trying to implement a weak playing Mario Götze in the "false-nine" system which simply isn't working for the team or player. I understand that Löw want to build up this player, because he is one who can make the difference. But the tournament is not the place to do such experiments, and you need a effective and well-oiled team to win the title and beat Spain...

     

    Spain though... the match versus Turkey was very telling. Looks like they evolved their tactic with players which go for the goal instead of doing another pass. They appear very effective and it will hard to beat them for any team. Seems like the found back to old stength.

     

    The match Croatia versus Czech Republic was a interesting one to watch. This actual euro doesn't have many interesting matches so far. Kudos to the Czech team for the late goals. I hope the guy who got hit by the blast is fine. Overall I also got the feeling that the security agencies are overhelmed by the situation and they doesn't appear very competent so far.

    Okay, so just to clarify, say there was an ArmA 3 update that broke the gun, it would still be updated to get fixed. Correct?

     

    I guess we have to wait for the release of Apex before Toadie is going to update that. It's very likely that after Apex something else needs some patching, so a update now wouldn't help for a long time.

    LOL!

    WW I happened in France (not only, but it was the main battlefield in Europe) - and we lost more than 1.5 milion soldiers.

     

    Guess which country won't be present in the game?

    DICE = f*ck you!

     

    DLC incoming! ...  :ph34r:
