Battlefield Franchise Megathread V2 - 'The Future of Warfare Is in the Past' Edition - Games

A landship drove in front of my line of sight and this graced my view [thumb]http://puu.sh/rQseV/3cf96f21f0.jpg[/thumb] War is hell

They really need to change how the game treats giving out battlepacks. I haven't gotten one in hours now, and i've been purposefully sticking to servers, yet i see the same people constantly getting them. Edit: I have a medal that tells me to "play a round" but yet that does not ever actually update when i do. And i've been on the same server for 3 hours now.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;51238052]Ballroom Blitz is more like Zavod, which could turn into a meat grinder at times but it's still pretty open and I haven't run into that happening yet. Argonne is cleary the map that was designed with the same ideas as Locker, but it's still way more open too, and the flank routes are super covered making flanking easy. Honestly Suez is the new meat grinder. The whole map is just a huge cluster fuck.[/QUOTE] Suez is fucking terrible, it's too small, it has bad flow and it's unbalanced. I managed to go something stupid like 36-7 just by spamming the airburst mortar, peeking over the dunes and throwing gas grenades onto B. In the very same match we managed to get the train, which is stupid powerful with it's own mortars; we held onto C and B for most of the match and still managed to lose somehow. :why:

This game is great but I get really bad fps drops when anything explosive happens, or if too much is happening. The game still runs at a good 50fps all max and it doesn't seem to trigger the memory restrictions.

Man I just had a few amazing games. I usually hate the forest map but I just topped it as support, most flag caps and 2nd most kills. Was just poppin' dudes with my Gold Bar left and right. Then the beta desert snipey map (I'm bad with map names) came up. Started off slow, ended the match on 33-2. I knifed 10 people; 7 consecutively, in one building, within seconds. I wish I recorded it, it was just incredible and I doubt I'll ever do anything like that again.

I wasn't sure if I would find the $60 AUD I spent worth it but holy fuck this game is good.

Oh my god the no.3 revolver has a speedloader Best pistol

[QUOTE=Cuon Alpinus;51238857]Oh my god the no.3 revolver has a speedloader Best pistol[/QUOTE] Best pistol is the mars automatic, looks like a giant block gun and hits like a truck.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;51238885]Best pistol is the mars automatic, looks like a giant block gun and hits like a truck.[/QUOTE] Yeah but revolvers are cooler

I have been getting consistent top ten on the scoreboard, which I'm proud of. One thing I also now hate; medics who don't revive. Your one meter away from me in no firefight and you can't be arsed to use the syringe? Edit best pistol P08

I think it's funny that this game is receiving massive critical acclaim but I'm utterly bored out of my skull by it so far. I didn't even dislike the Beta. I think I've just just hit the point where I'm bored with modern Battlefield games. Same thing happened to me with Call Of Duty, a few years ago.

Getting ridiculous mouse stuttering at times and pitiful FPS on even potato mode. Using a vehicle's gun or a static weapon means that my mouse jerks from side to side, and my gun moves super slowly. Here's hoping for a performance patch.

[QUOTE=Araknid;51237775]Could someone explain how BF1 becomes playable like, halfway through downloading it? [t]http://i.imgur.com/y2Tvoe5.jpg[/t] Does it just stop you from being able to play maps that haven't downloaded?[/QUOTE] Yeah, at 33% when you run it the only things that are available are the first few missions of Mud and Blood, MP doesnt become available until the download completes.

[QUOTE=bdd458;51239148]For the vehicle thing, alt tab out and then back into to fix it.[/QUOTE] Moving to fullscreen-windowed fixed that for me.

so i had a preorder on origin on my credit card, then spent too much and it failed so the game is preloaded in my account, i now have the money to pay for it, but i can neither play it nor buy it and fuck you if i'm gonna buy one of those special editions, but those are still available for me to buy how do i cancel my preorder so i can turn around and buy this?

What does getting all the field manuals and challenges in the campaigns unlock? I can't seem to find out

Server seems to have died for me

Playing it more, I'm starting to get a Bad Company vibe.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51239239] contact EA support[/QUOTE] yeah that's what i'm trying right now stupid window said estimated wait 1 minute 20 minutes later i'm still sitting here

[QUOTE=bdd458;51239148]For the vehicle thing, alt tab out and then back into to fix it.[/QUOTE] oh christ on a crutch thank you [editline]21st October 2016[/editline] Also, Legion of Glory is stupidly easy to get

I gotta say, I'm slightly disappointed that the Howdah pistol is not a sawed off double barrel shotgun, though I guess by then its not really a pistol anymore.

Operations is worth the purchase alone, I just wish it would stop putting me in games 5 minutes from the end or a complete ghost town The MG on the front of the bomber is amazing, just got 12 kills in 1 life flying over the point over and over again and shooting through the walls where they were all hiding

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;51239288]yeah that's what i'm trying right now stupid window said estimated wait 1 minute 20 minutes later i'm still sitting here[/QUOTE] There's a bug where the chat doesn't actually load I've run into that issue a few times, you'll know when it actually works

Figures, the servers die just as i finally get a battlepack, wonder if it'l still be there when they're back.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51239356]There's a bug where the chat doesn't actually load I've run into that issue a few times, you'll know when it actually works[/QUOTE] So just start a new one until it works?

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;51239369]So just start a new one until it works?[/QUOTE] I guess, could be a browser issue, but there's nothing consistent for me to work with Shit happens

anyone else not able to connect to the ea servers?

Probably due to the influx of Standard edition players.
