https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/giants-shadow-and-spectator-mode-in-new-update



The new map is called Giant’s Shadow and is based on the battle of the Selle in 1918. With a massive crashed airship casting its shadow onto the battlefield, you can expect fierce combat on the open ground and river banks alongside the Cateau-Wassigny railway. Try out the new Support class gadget – the Grenade Crossbow – and turn the tide with an armored train.

Giant’s Shadow will be available for everyone on December 20 as a free* update for Battlefield 1. On December 13†, Premium Pass owners and players who pre-ordered Battlefield 1 can start their seven-day early access of the map.

A new Specator Mode is also part of the update. In Spectator, players will be able to join a live Battlefield 1 match as an observer. Observers can switch between first-person and third-person camera views of all players on the battlefield, get a bird’s eye view of the action, or use Free Cam to fly through the map.

You can expect an improved usability and flow moving from player-to-player and switching between the different view modes (Table Top, Player View, and Free Cam). Spectator Mode will also be a viable tool for the community to create content which includes a moveable third-person camera, depth of field, and various camera filters.

There is also a new Custom Game option: Standard Issue Rifles. With this option toggled on, all classes are granted access to their faction’s standard issue rifle – and this rifle only. This option can be enabled or disabled with other weapon types to create a variety of experiences. For example, the British Army will be granted access to the SMLE MKIII. These weapons are not equipped with optics, and are intended to provide players with gameplay inspired by the WW1 trenches.

Shotgun balance has been addressed in this update, with the primary goal of evening out advantages and disadvantages of each shotgun type. Some shotguns were unintentionally strong at certain distances and to address this we reduced the range for the buckshot variants of the M97 Trench Gun, Model 10-A, and Sawed Off Shotgun, reducing the maximum one-hit kill distance.

Apart from shotgun tweaks, we’ve also modified gameplay aspects like syringe cooldown, sprinting, spawning into a Landship, and much more. As mentioned, https://bit.ly/BF1Updates will have all details when the update has rolled out.

I assume your internet is under Singtel? If so, your best ping servers now are Japan/Oceania (180+) sadly. They have bad routing to the Japan servers. Here are your options:

1. Contact Singtel and make noise.
2. Contact EA and make noise.
3. Ask for refund if you just bought the game.
4. Wait for Hong Kong servers to be launched some time next year.
5. Use a Singapore vpn to get lower ping.

I setup a vpn using aws free tier and managed to get my ping from 180+ to 70+.

Yeah, i saw a few 80+ japan servers before but it's damn rare for me. :sad: I think those have better routing than most.

Im still getting 80 ping with singtel on about 30% of the jap servers. The rest are 180 ping. So still can play.

80ms is still very playable and the game can be enjoyed but not optimal
