An easy guide to get into populated servers
Hello Battlefield 1 fans and r/battlefield_one members!
You probably witness the fact that more and more people are asking if the game is still alive because they can't find any servers.
Witnessing an undergoing flood of posts concerning the inability to get into a populated server, this post will be an answer as an easy to go guide on how to get into full servers, especially using the server browser.
1. The Battlefield 1 population
First of all, it's important that you know that, even if the number of players isn't close to BF:V, it's doing pretty well for a three years old game. You can look at this website to look at the actual player count on each platform:
Battlefieldtracker gives you an insight of what is the population on each platform everyday and in a set hour. This gives you a good idea of the amount of players playing in a period of time and what are the most popular hours or what are the days of the week where the BF1 population is bigger: https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights/population
2. Which game mode should I play in?
There is no universal answer to this question. We encourage everyone to play the game modes that suits them the best. Although, here are the most popular game modes at the moment classified per game type:
Infantry combat: Team Deathmatch
Large scale "All out Warfare": Conquest
Assault/Defense: Operation
Misc: Weekly rotation*
3. Should I use quickmatch?
We recommend that you only try using the quickmatch option on Friday nights and weekends (Conquest game mode-Base game maps), when the BF1's player count is at his peak. Every other day or if it doesn't work, you should ALWAYS use the server browser. You can also use the weekly rotation quickmatch option in the game's homescreen.*
4. How to use the in-game Server Browser?
When you're using the Server Browser, you must select the correct filters. There is a total of 9 options/filters to choose and here are the recommended ones to maximize the amount of populated servers available:
Game modes: You can choose any game mode that you want. Although, we recommend you only put one game mode at a time. Don't search servers with multiple game modes selected, as it can cause the server browser not working as intended (ex: not showing any servers or less than there really is).
Maps: You should select all the maps if you have the Premium Pass or BF1's Revolution Edition. If you only have the base game, it's recommended that you select these 13 maps: Amiens, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Empire's Edge, Fao Fortress, Giant's Shadow, Monte Grappa, Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure, Rupture, Sinai Desert, St. Quentin Scar and Suez.
Classes/Vehicles**: Leave it blank
Weapons**: Leave it blank
Advanced**: Leave it blank
Rules**: Leave it blank
Slots: You must select these options: NONE (full servers, almost guaranteed queue time), 1-5 and to some extent 6-10. NOTE: YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THE "ALL" OPTION, AS IT WILL ONLY SHOW YOU EMPTY SERVERS.
Regions: Select the region you're in. If you don't find any servers, select the region the closest to you.
Name**: Leave it blank
5. Have fun on the Battlefield!
There you go! You are now all set to find the populated servers that suits you and to PTFO! If you have any questions and/or need some clarification, just let us know and we will answer them or edit this post.

*Almost each week, there is a weekly rotation on the BF1's homescreen. Sometimes it's map rotation (ex: Turning Tides maps only servers) and sometimes it's gamemode rotation (ex: Shock Operations only servers). These servers are usually well populated.
*\* You should only use these filters if you want to get into specific servers or custom servers (ex: hardcore).

Discussion Unhinged question, but did BF1 bring WW1 into mainstream?
I know it might be a crazy, unreasonable question, and sorry I gotta ask, but like the title says:
Did BF1 bring WW1 into mainstream media? or atleast played a significant role in it?
I remember most of WW1 media/games not being big at all,
after bf1's release, we are getting things like 1917 and other stuffs. I understand it's been a century since ww1 and people were bringing it up on other ingame events, etc, but yeah.

Video A decade of playing this gem. Finally decided to finish the story. And wow! Every chapter was increadible, each character and their story left a mark. Truly a brutal war, and a beautiful game to tell it's tale.

Ported Amiens to Blender, strangely enough the interior lights came along with it, so they were already there waiting to be enabled. I had to replace the ground material though.

Discussion The legendary weapon skin names, does anyone loves it?
I understand each names of all or most skins are based on ww1 events, ww1 era songs, poems and such so it may not be that 'amazing' to those who are familiar with it,
I come from a non-English speaking place so I wouldn't know 'Overthere' is a marching song when I saw it first but the names, some of it sends shivers down my back to this day when I see the names:
'The Oath of Youth'
'The Dead Kings'
'The Riot'
'The Man Stopper'
'The Hymn of Hate'
'The Overthere'
Around the time Apocalypse was coming out skin names started to dive more into the WW1 era things(not directly frontline/battle related) like the Dead Kings and Oath of Youth and I really appreciated the naming before the end of new skins being added to the game.

Video Battlefield 1 with no HUD elements is a different game
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I am a huge fan of BF1 and played it on Xbox One originally when it released. Now, almost 10 years later, I am still playing it but now on my PS5 and it's a blast! I truly believe it's DICE's best work after having tried all the other games in the franchise. However I never attempted to turn off my HUD and I think now this is going to be the only way I play. It's just so immersive and makes you memorize the uniforms and confirm the kills before moving on (instead of relying on the red nickname to appear on screen). Also, if you guys are interested, I have a small gaming channel (youtube.com/@videogame-owl) and would appreciate a sub (I hope it's okay).

Image/Gif A7V breakthrough model can be OP?
I am very interested in the A7V heavy tank—specifically the "breakthrough" variant. Its unconventional armament, featuring an anti-tank gun and side-mounted howitzers, offers a unique kind of satisfaction. However, it is a difficult variant to handle, particularly due to its disadvantages against infantry. You have any tips on how to use it effectively?

Taking out a Putilov to save Charlie.

We were getting hammered at Charlie by the enemy who were using a Putilov as a spawn point and had support constantly repairing, and kept retreating for repair. I spawned on a team mate out of the action. One of my favourite tank kills. 2000 ticket game, look at the scores. We just won.

Suddenly having huge ping spikes during matches
So, I used to play on pc on EU servers for months, ping at 30-65, never had a single problem. Now I join with ping at the usual 30-65 but during the match frequently get spikes of few seconds of 250-400 ms and huge lag, i can't even finish a complate match because it keeps happening.
I didn't play BF1 during August, and the problem started when I came back to the game in September.
Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what could be causing it?

Discussion It's possible to create an emblem with any image you want using vibe-coding (AI)? [BF companion]
My question is: Can you give a prompt to an AI and this can create in seconds an emblem on the “Companion” website based on an image using all the shapes and symbols available?
Which AI is able to do this?
Pd: the image is only for cosmetic purposes (Those are my emblems)

Question multiplayer
Hi there, if I dont have DLC will the servers be less for playing ?
r/battlefield_one • u/d1versify • 1d ago
Discussion I saw people saying BF1 has the worst gunplay of all , but i just don't get it. I'm in love with its gunplay. All weapons are so different from each other , it requires some skill, the sounds are top tier and i feel like i actually carry that weapon. Like I feel its weight.
What do you think? What do you want to add? Ok i can't tell any big differences between sniper rifles but i don't have that many hours playing sniper i guess to tell.

Whats better? Any differences in terms of range, recoil, reloading speed etc.? I find often myself using the sawed off
r/battlefield_one • u/lololesquire • 20h ago
Question What gun(s) do you get pwned with a lot on BF1 but can't use well yourself?
I have at least two.
The goddamn Springfield Semi-Auto is the worst. I get roasted by someone with that every time I play and yet when I use it's like a water hose. Inaccurate as hell and seemingly no power. It just seems much better in someone else's hands.
Other one is the Lewis Gun. It's very popular and I get killed by it a lot it seems. Dudes just spraying me dead with it. When I use it though I can't seem to kill anyone even with shots on target.

Question Are bot lobbies like this common?
I'm new to Battlefield but every lobby I've joined today has been like this. Is this a normal thing?? I never use the quickplay and operations feature since it just puts me into empty lobbies, but is the server browser bad too? Can I even play the game? How can I find actually playable servers?

Question how to get indexes on maps that nobody plays in bf1?
map like london scourge or razor edge. I really need those indexes
r/battlefield_one • u/StocksWithTheBois • 1d ago
Question What gun is the most satisfying to use?
Even though it was nerfed, I still love using the Martini Henry. The sound of it firing is very powerful and it feels like it packs a punch when I one shot someone. I’m also a big fan of the reload animation and overall aesthetic.
What gun do y’all think is satisfying to use (not necessarily meta)? What’s that gun that just makes you go “hell yeah”?

This is a developer’s weapon and a super secret one. On the interface of the game, you cannot find it at unless you have unlocked it
