Since the BF1 servers were down yet again tonight (fucking christ DICE/EA, get your shit together) I finally beat the Tanker storyline of the campaign. I have to say if the other 5 are anything like it I'm in for a treat. This is by far one of the best campaign stories I've played for a BF game since the original Bad Company. Good lord that was fun as hell and the spark plug mission was great (I fucked with the Germans so hard it wasn't even funny).

Meh, I can name all the maps now but honestly the only ones I like are Monte Grappa and Argonne (though Ballroom Blitz is fun). My major problem with operations solo is that no one wants to work toward the goal, everyone is trying to do their own thing. At least with friends you know at least they're working toward the same goal as you. It's still enjoyable but if I'm going to play by myself I'm going to go Domination where I can do what I want, how I want, and still contribute to the team as long as I'm assaulting the flags and not feel like a jackass for not doing what the SL says. I really do with they'd bring back the ribbon system, god the amount of rank ups you can get from just ribbons is nice. Sadly I don't think they'll bring it back just for that reason (200 xp for a ribbon, 5000 for a medal wouldn't really cut it here). Assignments would be nice but I wouldn't want to go through all that work just for a weapon skin (kind of like how I don't give a rats ass if I get a battlepack anymore, it's not worth it if all I'm going to get is a random skin that I probably already have for a gun I'll probably never use). If they brought it back for weapons I'd be all for it (if it's not god awfully powerful weapons like the Deagle), maybe weapons that were historically correct for the time but very rare on the battlefield.

I still can't name the map I'm on unless I pay attention to the name on the loading screen. Me: "oh, its the forest map again, cool." I really miss the BF4 ribbon / medal system and assignments. I like that weapons can be purchased with warbonds and that they're not locked behind assignments. The players in bf4 were able to get some really OP weapons if they could grind out the assignments. UCAV and Deagle in BF4 were pains in the ass to get and gave a huge advantage. I never did get the Deagle, it was a dumb assignment. Get 5 headshots while standing in water, do 18 jumping jacks while shooting an RPG (lol, i can't remember) and that was just to unlock the gun you needed to do the next assignment to unlock the Deagle. I'd rather see assignments come back to BF1 and have them unlock weapon skins. I like it when a game is well balanced and nobody has huge advantages for completing hard core crap. Like how Destiny will always have raid weapons that give a huge advantage, crap like that needs to go and I'm glad there isn't anything like that in BF1. I remember that Deagle making me basically quit BF4 after getting constantly headshotted from halfway across the map.
