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

Spawning on the dreadnaught and dealing with torpedo boats is the only time I feel like I ever actually get kills in a behemoth. The train turrets feel weak and every time I spawn in a zeppelin turret it blows up seconds later.

Does the Medic not have any kind of rifles? Kinda sick of these one-shot weapons, I can't seem to hit anything.

No fucking way. I was just about to get a ~six kill with a HE mortar by dropping it on a bunch of people behind a rock and my game fucking [B]crashed[/B] :suicide:

Is it me or is the armored train stupidly easy to kill in pretty much every map? You can pop off the big turrets really easily and then just have a few tanks shooting the back end.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;51253122]Is it me or is the armored train stupidly easy to kill in pretty much every map? You can pop off the big turrets really easily and then just have a few tanks shooting the back end.[/QUOTE] It's the worst of the three imo, dreadnought can be near invincible with a good crew, and similar with the airship but not as much due to the large number of AA weapons, the train is on rails so it can't really manoeuvrer anywhere strong, it's also a real easy target to hit with things like tanks and HE mortars.

Just saw that Ian McCollum from Forgotten Weapons and Indy Neidell from The Great War are both in the credits. I love both those channels and thats a pretty cool shoutout to have.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51252782][t]https://jii.moe/EJf0HJvyz.png[/t] is sniper glint different or just me?[/QUOTE]In BF4 it looks more like a flashlight would from a distance if it were night and there were no other sources of light for miles. That looks like an actual reflection of light.

What is this 700mb update?

tbh i think i glitched the system and opened a battlepack twice

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;51253355]What is this 700mb update?[/QUOTE] Minor bugfixes

I've had moments where I beat four different people to death with my shovel after diving at them because none of them seemed to know what to do.

If you hit from a bayonet charge or just from behind it's a one hit kill, but otherwise, if the enemy has full health it usually takes about 3 hits to get them to a point where it triggers the kill animation.

A single hatchet hit does 55, so you can just full auto and press f in the middle of firing after getting a few hits in to instakill

[QUOTE=Dune3z;51253361]tbh i think i glitched the system and opened a battlepack twice[/QUOTE] I think I did this too at one point. I opened a battlepack while waiting for the next round to start and then the round started while I was opening the battlepack. After that round I could open it again. So I ended up getting two skins out of one battlepack. Shame one was the fucking royal order Russian sniper skin everyone and their dog has.

[QUOTE=milktree;51253477]except when you get involuntary locked in a kill animation and then get destroyed[/QUOTE] Not if there's smoke everywhere and the enemy team is focusing on shooting at the guys behind you instead of fighting you Or if you have gas grenades and they're still busy trying to get their masks on

Had a moment where I knew I was getting pursued and threw a grenade down to try and take him out first, got locked into the getting-stabbed melee animation but my grenade killed him during the animation and flung the body away so my body just fell on the floor. that'll teach you to take my dog tags

So is BF1 worth £40/50? Haven't seen many posts criticizing/praising it, and it looks like a game I'd enjoy.

i main support and LMGs need a buff, i have no idea what they're good for other then getting assists and lets not for get the awesome gadgets of small ammo, bigger ammo, and mortars!

[QUOTE=meharryp;51253797]So is BF1 worth £40/50? Haven't seen many posts criticizing/praising it, and it looks like a game I'd enjoy.[/QUOTE] Definitely worth it; drop dead gorgeous game. Sound is DICE at its finest, soundtrack matches that as well. Probably the best battlefield game I've played in a long time. Plus ragdoll are back to being fucking hilarious and it adds in the amazing Operations mode which is a genuinely great addition to the battlefield formula. It kicks up a notch those scenario missions from 1942 and mixes the great parts of Rush + Conquest. They put some real love into this game, and it shows. I could keep talking about how much there is to like about this game and the wonky glitches are just so beautifully hilarious this time around

DICE make the most ridiculous fucking decisions when it comes to menus, like 3 and 4 not even having any But now I can't even quit a game when its finished; I can't see any sort of list for operations servers, just keep joining them over and over again and pray its not a 0/64 again; have to join a random server to do my loadout and then quit when I'm done because there is no other way

Not a fan of Assault really only having three smgs, the shotgun variety is not great outside the slug rifle

I'm not the only one who needs to leave at least 5 or 6 empty servers before finding an operations match, right ? I feel like they're gonna kill this mode within a couple months because of this matchmaking crap.
