More of a heads up than an actual 'you don't want to miss this', as I don't think you possibly can.
A new map is coming to BF1 with EA stating...
Experience Giant’s Shadow on December 20 as a free new map for Battlefield 1. Premium Pass owners and those who pre-ordered will get early access starting on December 13.

Throw in a shed load of smoke, blind the snipers, capture the objective and then wait. The snipers will have to come out to capture in numbers or they'll lose the game. That's what I love about Battlefield that many COD players find difficult to understand at first (I used to be one of them) In this, your K/D ratio means very little, it's playing the objective that gets you the points and rank ups. A player with 1 kill and 50 deaths but was capturing the objective will get a lot more respect (and points) than someone with the opposite numbers. Love this game!

isnt that the point of being sniper? to blend in and take out enemies who appear in sight?

Love this game. Can't stop playing it. Loading times suck though.

Been having a look around for premium, cheapest option appears to be:
Go to cdkeys.com and either sign in, or create a new account; After logging in, add £40 PSN credit to your basket (it's currently £36.99); Go to their Facebook page (you don't need a Facebook account), click the "Click here to get 5% off" link (if you get a popup saying to sign up/log in, just keep pressing Not Now); The page should have an image with a discount code, it refreshes every 2 minutes; Go back to your basket on CDkeys, and enter the code; Price should reduce to £35.14, checkout and pay however you want; and Use the PSN credit to buy premium off the PS Store.
Long winded, but saves a few quid!

The update is out now, although the PSN is having a hissy fit and keeps stopping the download.
Any good offers on the premium pass (for PS4)? I wanna play the new map!

As was discussed on the Ghostbusters thread, old games take patience and are a real challenge, even 'great' gamers struggle on new games, noobs or not, we're all good on certain days and bad on others. When I'm happy i usually win, frustration causes me to lose often.

I too have been gaming for a similar length and have never and will never use that word... gaming snobbery at its best...

And why is being a noob an insult?? I'll be one when I get this but so what. As vic reeves said... 87% of statistics are made up :wink:

That's the best idea I've heard all day. I'll be up on the hill like my name was Hank, waiting, hiding from the tanks.

Think I'm too slow for these type of games, but rather than leave an old hobby alone, I brush my shoulders every evening and try again, often playing same levels just to learn ins and outs. One thing I've learnt from that is, it's better to go in, all-out guns blazing and not look back, it's more fun but frustrating as oO :face_with_monocle: :smiley_cat: :heart_eyes:

I don't mind snipers, but when practically the whole team are it makes getting the flags a nightmare. Leaves the rest of the classes hard work to do.:|

90% of snipers are noobs who camp up somewhere trying to blend in with the surroundings. I bet you are one those noobs.

Trust me, I can't keep up at times, this is an immense game with graphics I dreamt of when I was little and playing PacMan. I'll try changing my tactics next session. :sunglasses:

Also love this game and must have already played it for far more time than any other game I've ever had apart from maybe COD Ghosts. 150 hrs and counting and not even close to being bored of it. Can't wait for the new map

I'll see you on the battlefield, through my scope most likely. X) It takes time, but you'll get used to it quickly, especially if you already play battlefield 4. Can't wait for this new map.
