Just putting this here because I started chatting to Spugs about it earlier.
Info on how to get BF42 working online.
http://www.moongamers.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=64524
Master server info:
Well if you jump on Steam I’ll invite you to the XDC group, and may also be able to get you in the 7DR one (just not sure if I have the rights for it). From either group you’ll be able to see the 7DR guys who’re still active, as well as some Hussars. The guys I see most are Bluesnake, xkinght, gonzo, phlupple, deathjester, Van, blackadder, smoke, jubaal, shafto, and Voo (technically also XDC).
After some digging I found this on how the MMR is determined and suspect the new skill rating will be along similar lines:
Anyway, this leads me to matchmaking rating. This rating is the most important thing that we try to match on. Basically this rating means “how good are you?” Commonly, you’ll hear this referred to as Matchmaking Rating or MMR. MMR is derived differently in different games. Overwatch borrows a lot of knowledge from other games but also does a lot of things unique to Overwatch. As each player plays games, their matchmaking rating goes up or down depending on if they win or lose. The system is extremely complicated and there is a lot more going on here than I am going to spell out. So please don’t take this as the comprehensive guide to how MMR is calculated in Overwatch. There is definitely a lot more going on under the hood.
In Overwatch, whether your MMR goes up or down is contingent on winning or losing. But there are a number of factors that determine how much that rating goes up or down. For example, what map you’re playing on and whether you were attacking or defending is factored in. We know the win rates on attack/defend on all of the maps and we normalize accordingly. Not all wins and losses are equal. We also look at your individual performance on each of the heroes you played during the match. Everyone has better and worse heroes and we have tons of data showing us what performance levels should be like on those heroes. We also look at your opponents and whether or not their matchmaking rating is higher or lower than yours. These are just a few of the things that are considered when determining how your skill should go up or down. At no point in MMR calculations do we look at your win/loss ratio and win/loss ratio is never used to determine who to match you with or against.
Don’t worry mate we all still have means to contact each other and if the likes of the rats and hussars (or those still active) like BF1, it’ll be easy to get things organised 🙂
You need to get a PC and get on Steam.
lol i love the sequence there as people get progressively more fucked 🙂
I haven’t met anyone there in person other than Alun though, so can you put names to the faces?

the more i see of bf1 the more i want a new ww2 bf
If this one goes well then surely the next bf will be in WW2 again, but I still think this looks like a WW2 shooter anyway.
Here’s an IGN perspective from the same show where all the youtubers were playing btw, but which has some stunning angles of the battlefield. The game looks amazing.

Another good one here including some negatives along with the positives:

To me this doesn’t look at all like WW1, but much more WW2 and the gun play really reminds me of BF1942.
If we get a full team together it won’t really matter that much, line and Richard are both pretty handy as Reinhardt, so that could free you to do something you’re better at. Really loving the Lucio and mercy combo. We did it again this evening and must have a total of fifteen games now played using it and still unbeaten! I’m loving Lucio now as well.
Those games last night were amazing guys, the lucio and mercy combo, plus reinhardt really freed up the damage dealers to do their work. If we could add a McCree and/or Widowmaker to our roster, we’d be flying.

You were pretty handy tonight! Missed an epic Mercy game the round after you left though. Three times I rezzed 3 people on a point to stall the cap at the last second. Was brutal.
Oh and check this out 🙂 https://gfycat.com/ThornyFemaleBandicoot Charging a Mercy off a cliff only to be saved by enemy roadhog – from reddit earlier.
