Battlefield Franchise Megathread v"Seriously, nobody made a new thread yet?" - Games

Someone give me one good reason why shotguns shouldn't have their BF1 stats ported over or why they shouldn't have headshot multipliers back BF3 had headshot multipliers for shotguns and no BF game after that has topped it in terms of CQC shotgun consistency

Its always 55 damage regardless of the plane, its so stupid. Im 90% sure dice just throws these updates out without even attempting to QA them.

So for anyone wondering, they still haven't fixed the Frontlines daily assignments not actually working. They seem to have a specific problem with Frontlines stuff, I guess it's because nobody plays that mode they think it can do with even less testing than usual.

Anyone else got an issue with tanks not repairing? Sat there holding X and its doing fuck all after the circle fills.

Tank repair has limited ammo, but for some reason it's possible to attempt repairing even when you're supposed to be out of repairs, so you hear the noise and see the circle but nothing will happen.

I don’t get the hate about squad conquest, I think it’s fun as hell

i think it's fun as well, but the amount of stomps you're going to get is very high.

If you have an icon that looks like this: https://puu.sh/CyNXR/6b87ca71c4.png It's your network variance, which means your ping is fluctuating between 3-5 for yellow 5-10 for red. This causes that weird movement where it feels like you run in place for 1 second or try climbing things and you warp back to the ground. The server disconnects or freaks the fuck out and shit like holding a button for an action, will cause it to technically reset because you had let go of the button by the server's perspective. Its extremely infuriating, and for some reason, after this many games on dice, its been a reoccurring issue since BF3. The only fix I know is get a hard wired connection, or find a better server. Otherwise, vehicles are pretty much impossible to repair with the repair button (even getting out of a tank with a torch will still have issues if the variance is really bad)

Can we not with the autoplay thing please, thanks!

Ive already uninstalled. The game just isn't worth the harddrive space rightnow

surprised you didn't do that long ago considering every post of yours in this thread is you flipping a tit over a game when ya could've just played something else lol also Squad Conq is surprisingly fun, the issue is just when you end up playing with the lobotomy patients. I'll stick with big conquest because 64 player clusterfucks, but also cause theres a slightly higher chance (~2%) of having a single competent player on my team. I like Squad Conquest a lot when I get a decent team, but the games where I feel like an insurgent in Iraq being hunted down by Delta Force are just not fun. I had one Squad Conquest game where we had 3 squads. One guy on his own, me in a 3 man team and a 4 man. It took half the game of all cap yelling at the guy in chat before he joined a squad and he just sat on the side like a waterboy with a sniper rifle and did nothing.

Yeah Squad Conquest is fun, but is also the mode with the most direct correlation between fun and competent teammates. Suits me pretty well though, there's less random stragglers around the map and its more predictable where enemies might or should be. Plus, less vehicles which are much more important tactically - as well as no aircraft which is blissful. Don't mind this game mode at all.

After playing it with friends I warmed up to it more. Holding down a point the entire game despite another enemy squad constantly fighting you for it is a blast. Having idiotic teammates just ruins the experience though. One game our other squad kept just running to the enemy points as if it were normal conquest and they were trying to zerg point to point, and one guy in that squad was yelling at us for holding down B. "Cmon guys, push up!!" and "Stop camping B!!!!" are just some examples.

SQCQ only reminds me on how much I wish there were more ways to communicate in this game. Allowing ping markers to be seen by nearby blueberries would be a good start along with adding pop-up screen notifications when it comes to nearby ammo deployment or revive patients. A super great way to make communication much easier would be to just straight up introduce open VOIP altogether as I'd imagine that even when I'm playing in servers where 90% of players are fucking Chinese, I'd hope shouting MEDIC followed by one of the few Chinese swear words I know would catch their attention as opposed to right now.

anyone else's game randomly minimizing?

Is it just me, or does it feel like the game has somehow gotten less stable as of late? Today every match I've gone in has crashed.

Huh, just ran into a strange new glitch: apparently sometimes the frag grenade rifle will shoot smoke grenades.

You're about to nail sweet a kill on a group of four or five enemies that you've managed to catch unawares, and fire your launcher, when https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxv5yY9qfh4

Now the question is, is it possible for the smoke grenade rifle to occasionally shoot frags?

Wow, good to know about this bug. Three days ago I had very cinemactic moment durning defense of last point on Arras. For this moment I felt like in movie. So, maybe they just wanted to launch frag nade, but shit happens? https://i.imgur.com/s4wJx9A.jpg

Max rank company coin fix is live, retroactive CC will be coming later followed by the whole cosmetic premium currency thing Rate is 25 coins per 1000 score where if you only play 3 games a day with 10k score each, you'll get up to 900 CC on top of the 300 CC you get via daillies. If my memory is right and headgear that's uncommon costs 2100~ CC, then I think it's more or less in line with Siege's rates?

You know what is the worst thing? You can't respawn if your body fell into water, forcing you to go back to main menu screen. Just happened to me second time, I can't handle this shit.

Floppy trees are notorious on Arras

Never had this happen before. Weirdest laggy encounter ever. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/215488/2f8ee609-f54f-4177-ad6b-e754779d8844/sBcd3AB0frwJ_1548179138[1].webm

Had a funny moment playing Conquest on Rotterdam with my friend, had a glitch happen where I could fire none of my weapons, I had to run around with my cricketbat out and play Splinter Cell, Thudded 6 unlucky fellas before I died. The final one was a Dice Dev, sweet Irony that they died cause I caught a glitch.

This is the first time where my coins reached 4 digits since release Dunno if I should cry out of sadness of happiness https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/265780/39379d56-c5cb-4d11-84d0-ef23e9e69a4f/2019-01-23_16-16-42.jpg

that the fuck is this shit hahahaha https://youtu.be/eixkJ_7VbQE

It's like someone tried to run the game on a damaged toaster.

i've been sitting at around 30k cc since i don't care about cosmetics and i don't use vehicles and i only use a couple of guns, spending around ~3k total for speccing them.
