Tbh, if I get it, it'll be on the ps4 rather than my ancient laptop. It does look pretty...

A guy in my lab has decided he wants to get good at cs:go and start a team, so I gave it a shot tonight. Not bad at all!

Really enjoying BF1. Seems worlds apart from BF3/4 to its benefit. Lots of new stuff to learn and opportunities for tactical play (at a solo/squad or team level which is great). Great game world/atmosphere. So gloomy and oppressive on the European maps.

Yeah I'm really enjoying it too. It feels more polished than BF4.

Still, unsurprisingly, can't figure out zeroing for scout class. Mid range I'm relatively formidable but anything long-ish I've got no idea on how to judge distances and end up wasting all my ammo or drawing attention to myself and getting zapped before I have a chance to do so.

I just tend to ignore it and aim higher if they're further away.

Guess I just haven't played enough large maps to test it out yet - only level 5 atm and mostly small domination maps and a couple of operations.

use the server chooser and go for a game with 64 people, that will get you on bigger maps.

Got a free rendering workstation from work. Thinking of trying BF1. Stopped video games (was my addiction) for a about 2 years now. After I noticed I played 700 hours BF3.

I absolutely caned BF2 at uni, terrifying number of hours me and my housemate played it for. Unbeatable helicopter crew though, him as gunner, me piloting it. So lame but so much fun.

hmmmm maybe i'll buy

so.. BF1 is good then?

Single player is brief and a bit linear. Seems to be more of a showreel for what's possible in multiplayer. Like a long-ish tutorial. There are some quite moving cut-scenes and tremendous graphic rendering of them ( really, some of the best I've seen), along with some good history lessons that put things in quite bleak perspective. -
MP seems excellent and very refined.

Should I know what BF is?

Boyfriend.

It's the hot new sim.

Bad Flannel.
It's a plaid shirt fashion faux pas simulator

I just bought Witcher 3 goty edition for ps4 (pick it up tomorrow), I was weighing up that or Skyrim but it was only 24 quid at tesco so couldn't resist. Have I made the right decision?

Oh you kidz

Yes by all accounts

Their both good. Don't sweat it.

Good thing you don't work in academia with grammar like that...

Indeed - I found Skyrim to be a total time-suck.

Cheers guys, I'm hoping by the time I've gone through all the witcher skyrim will have dropped to a similarly low price and I can get a double bonus! :)
