FUCK.
Damn, it really seems like the guy who makes these decisions really wants to kill this game.
I'm still pissed that they changed the class archetypes talked about early on to these completely forgettable combat roles we've got now. I want my fuckin' saboteur scout damnit, those were a huge selling point for me.
They know if they added custom servers playercounts on squad conquest and Hamada would drop off a cliff.
Christ fuck this new age trend of killing off community servers in favor of matchmaking of first party servers
BF doesn't have matchmaking, it just waits for the first server with a good ping that has slots and puts you in it.
It's not very complex matchmaking but that is what "matchmaking" is by definition.
I just hope they implement auto balance.
TBH, I was thinking they meant skill based matchmaking, but yeah you're right.
Also the server browser is still there, even though it is all only EA servers. A lot of times I find its faster to find a server with an open slot than to wait on matchmaking.

from now on, i refuse to spend any coins on upgrades nor cosmetics, because i will never be this rich again
Holy shit, I've started playing aggressive recon and it's a lot more fun than sitting back and sniping across the map (or at least trying to...).
I've managed to win a couple squad conquests simply because I kept spamming flares around objectives. Well, it may not have been the reason why, but it certainly did help.
I joined a different server and both my teammates and squadmates ignored every spot my flares made. I had to change class after that, because playing recon was pointless by then.
Btw. 1.90 K/D is pretty good, right?
This is why i say they either need to restore the fire-rate of the BF1 SLRs, add some carbines or similar options, or work archetypes back in for a closer-ranged options like SMGs. As much as i love Battlefield for the option to play so many different ways, some playstyles are useless. You may go 40-0 sitting across the map picking people off but you're not doing anything for anybody but yourself and you'll prolly still lose the game and more points/exp overall. Scout in BF1 was so fun because you could play aggressively and be a genuine help to your team and Scout was even my fastest leveling class before even Support, going from that to BFVs Scouts is kinda disappointing. I was actually talking with a friend last night about how we miss K-bullets and i miss all classes having the Light AT nades. I'd like to see more stuff like that going forward.
Those flares can really change the outcome of a round. It's so much easier to kill people when you know where they are - but fuck me, are pubbies dumb as fuck sometimes. My squad spawns on me, I shoot a flare up in the air and it spots a guy right around the corner, the guy manages to kill me... but it's cool, right? Since my squadmates know where he is and they can take him down and revive me. Nope, they go running off in a completely different direction and ignore me and the guy who is still spotted.
I just use the webley, selbstlader 1906 and sometimes a 3x scope, flares, smokes, spawn beacon and my god its so good for shooting fuckers at any distance, pushing, and even soloing points to some degree in the event of playing with the special ed forces. Don't neglect the webley either, that shit instakills on headshots when in close (2 shot bodyshot as well) so you can do some clint eastwood shit too and its so much fun. The only thing that keeps me from declaring Recon as op is vehicles are the bane of your existence and despite the revolver you're still not amazing when in cqb cause the hipfire for the revolver isnt perfect. Aggressive recon can be fucking insane vs infantry which ofc is really helpful during those pushes when team retard just has to take D on Hamada at all costs.
They need to fire their UI director and get someone actually competent their fucking job
I've been enjoying the ZH-29 for aggressive recon. As small as it might seem, the extra round you get in the chamber from the detachable magazine upgrade has saved my life several times now.
I still have the most fun playing with iron-sighted bolt actions, though for some weird reason I find myself doing better at close range with the Kar98k than with the Lee-Enfield. Something about the No.4's sights dont click with me. With the Kar98k I can snap aim and most the time at close range I dont even use the sights, but I have a hard time doing that with the No.4.
Bipod and prone improvements, Mirror's Edge shit being added

It's so fucking obvious that the movement and bipod shit was just something they didn't have time to actually... do.
That vaulting stuff is really nice for bayonet charging. Now I can get gunned down AFTER I leap over a tiny piece of geometry on the ground, instead of while I'm stuck on it.

I really don't even know what to say about this.
Congratulations, it finally happened to you.
Probably happened a few dozen times over my BF career.

So close!
Well since the patch, my first game got me stuck on a black screen until i died and went back to the spawn menu, my health bar turns yellow when i self-heal as a medic, and i'm getting massive, stuttering frame-losses down to like 2 FPS. On PS4.
the health bar turning yellow is intended
With the rate at which they break UI elements, can you really blame me, having not read the patch notes admittedly, for assuming it's not?
