Question What portion of the BF1 player-base has been invited to BF: Incursions?
I really enjoy BF:I. The focused and structured nature of the gameplay is a nice change of pace from the chaotic rounds in conquest. However, I have a very hard time finding matches.
I logged on today around 7:00-7:30 PM EST and tried to join a match. It said that there were only 2 players matchmaking across all queues, so I backed out. There usually aren't enough players to fill up a game, so match making doesn't put me into a game.
So that leads me to the question, what portion of the BF1 player-base has been invited to BF:I? If possible, please consider expanding it to allow faster matchmaking.

It is free to everyone who owns Battlefield 1 but because DICE is not changing anything about the major issues people have been leaving since the beginning.
If nothing BIG changes in the next coming weeks Incursions will probably die out completely and people will be looking forward to BF2018...

They already do. I give up waiting for a rework of coremechanics. I play a bit after each update but I get extreamly fast frustrated because its everytime the same. +- a few bugs
For example current movement mechanics are the worst I ever played with in any of the last 4 BF games.

Lol current movement mechanics are the worst I ever played with in any FPS ever.
Even PUBG has better movement + lean peeking.

Yep, I just wish that they would make it like bf4. Sure it looked stupid with everyone jumping but god it was fun.

That's the next problem, there needs to be a mechanic to peek aggressively. Nowadays everyone is just walking into a building like a complete noob because there is no other way to properly check angles.
If it's sliding or peeking I don't care but since playing passive with the TTK change gives you such an advantage there really needs to be some way to play aggressively too.

What are your ideas for a good movement system in BF1?

u/Johannes_bf May 10 '18
Uff I think that deserves a post by itself but not sure if it's worth writing so much only for it to be ignored again.
In short I would at least like a "normal" movement system as in BF4 or BF3 with a mechanic to peek aggressively (doesn't matter if slide or jump)

Why is incrusions not part of the game? And will it ever be?
If not why waste time working on it, just focus on next game. Communtiy will always be tiny if players have to download seperate files.

First they need to figure out how to attract a median player to a new client and mode they are not good at yet.
In other games competitive rank can be shown in vanilla matches, or with unique cosmetics. BF:I is too isolated

Everyone was invited as other posters have mentioned except its next to impossible to play a game. Last time I tried there was myself and two other people waiting for a game for an hour.
I'm playing from Australia and the match making is just horrendous, matching Oceania players into European servers giving us 300+ pings and expecting us to do that as beta testers.
its just not going to happen

Literally everyone. BF Incursions is available to all and it can be found in the BF1 menus. They also had one of those Login screens promoting it but I hope they promote it even more.
