How do you equip the weapons u get in battle pack things?

I can't find them in the loadout. And are they yours to keep for good?

They're skins, rather than weapons, something it doesn't make clear. They're listed under "visuals". This aspect could have been made much clearer and done better. Plus the web companion keeps failing when I try this.

Oh should have scraped them all so for the credits ha. Thought I got better guns with the early edition not skins oops

Guns to buy are based on the level of class you are ie Medic 2 can buy the guns with the 2 beside them.

Lol EA wtf?

The prices and rental time periods are as follows:

PC

1 day: $2.99
7 days: $11.99
30 days: $42.99
90 days: $99.99
180 days: $149.99
PlayStation 4/Xbox One

1 day: $1.99
7 days: $7.99
30 days: $26.99
90 days: $64.99
180 days: $99.99
Concerningly, it doesn't appear that you'll be able to kick or ban players from servers you own, at least at launch. As the EA blog reads: "One of the top requested features if [sic] the Kick/Ban feature. We hear you and are working on rolling that out after the launch of the [Rental Server Program]."

Why would anyone rent a server they have no control over and unlikely to be able to change many settings.

Didn't think I would like the game as much...thought the beta was poor so was ready for disappointment but certainly not.

Only disappointment is that I can't put it down and play rainbow six now!!!

Severely annoyed that I didnt get the early enlister edition on PS4, I cant wait for it. I havent been this excited for a game in ages! Constantly watching videos, streams, and this thread to see what im missing out on! Roll on Friday.

And tonight was first good stab at the multiplayer, seeing the maps for the first time and feeling somewhat skilled at times which was an odd change!

Enjoyed few rounds with lads here!

Squad orders are key!

Hardly! You're not buying guns that players don't have already. Talking BF1 here aren't we!

Think they need to look into the wall push when prone I get that its to stop glitchers but its a bit too game breaking. I'd rather be blocked than pushed!

laying down ammo or med kits when prone is it a bug when they disappear or do you have to lay them on a flat surface if prone?

You know it's a good game when you started at 6pm, check your watch, and realise it's now 3:38am

Took a half day on Tuesday - went home and literally played from 2pm until around 1am. I've not done a session like that in a long time.
Spent about 3 hours then yesterday overclocking my 1080 and playing the rest of the day. So hooked it's unreal.

That said, I've no idea wtf people are doing to have level 10 in a number of classes already. I'm overall level 24, Assault 5, Medic 4, Scout 2 and Support 4. I'd generally finish in the top 1/4 on the score board unless I'm just messing around but still no where close to 10 on anything.
Madness I tellz ya.

Must say, something I really didn't like much in beta was Assault. Love the class now. Gone on some serious streaks with it. Knocked out the Iron Star medal in no time. Very easy. Working on the Order of Valor now.

Operations is class. Gets so intense. Defending team really needs to coordinate after the first round.

Have played the first two missions in single player. Really enjoyed them too. The characters are well done. Gameplay is excellent and story has those feels moments. Missions are maybe not as long as I would have hoped, but that's ok. Will see how the rest go over the next week or so.

Loving it overall. Has it's bugs for sure. Reload bug. AT rocket gun seems to spaz out randomly. Can't equip AT nades after getting resupplied. Some invisible walls. Teleporting players. I'm sure there is plenty of others too. But still the pros outweight the cons by a mile.

Just bought this on Greenmangaming, totally forgot it was out this week.

Anyone know how long roughly it takes for Greenman to get codes to you?

ended up on the opposite team to a few from here last night, luckily no embarassing deaths to speak of that will appear in a video, just the normal rota of me spawning, run, die, repeat. but it's great fun anyway:)

seriously, doing a bit better, never played in a squad for the demo and done nothing but for this and working with the squad a lot better. really enjoying the game, was in two minds about getting it after the demo but glad now i did

We were on same squad for sure last night! Its way better when there's a few in a squad with orders being given, gives you the mobile spawn and makes capturing points way easier! + more xp!


Can't wait to buy this ... 6 hours left on trial and payday next week.

Have a feckin holiday abroad between Saturday and Payday so that should distract me enough!!

Not sure but I'm awaiting cdkeys.com to send me the code for PC today. They say:

This product is a Pre-Order, it will be available here on or slightly before the release date of 21st October 2016.

EDIT: Just saw on twitter that cdkeys will release keys at 11am UTC (midday here i think).

Yeah saw greenmangaming with a tweet that their initial plan is keys to go out on the 21st, but may arrive beforehand.

I guess no major rush cause I'm working Nice little saving made from using them too !

Ya, I'm not rushed either as I'm working until Friday evening. Would like to have it installed and ready to go by the time I get home though.
I've remote access to my PC so can get Origin to download it the minute I get the key.

IST has a number of meanings ... Ireland India and Israel all have "IST".

Ireland is weird though in that "Standard" time is actually summer time, in winter we go to GMT instead.

The more modern indicators are "WET" and "WEST", both fairly appropriate to Ireland - Western European Time and Western European Summer Time.

Back on topic ...
I'm playing on Xbox - getting my ass kicked mostly

I just got my CDkeys code as well, perfect timing (the missus is on night duty tonight, also working the weekend). Still had 3 hours on the trial saved up for this evening but that won't be needed.

Now I just have to bork the wifi to prevent the kids from YouTubing too much and messing up my pings...
