[QUOTE=ulvemann43;51257077]What did he post?[/QUOTE] see my last post

[QUOTE=Tobin;51256909]They should've just not had a singleplayer, waste of developer resources and takes up a lot of unnecessary hard drive space[/QUOTE] Then they will never learn what a good singleplayer story is. Besides, haven't played bf1 sp yet but I've heard decent things about it actually.

Well well well, look what's sneaking its way into the store page. [img]http://afromana.com/1998Kuv.png[/img] Had the feeling they would. There's nothing there yet, but I imagine it won't take long now.

So i finally managed to get into a blimp as a side gunner, went 33 and 4 blasting infantry on the ground :v:

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;51257230]Wow the enemy team bust have been bad. Those side gunners rarely last a minute[/QUOTE] They really weren't actually, they ended up winning. Just me and another one or two made sure to focus down the AAs and HMGs.

What does everyone use to fly? I tried the mouse but the limited wrist aiming amount of space puts an end to that. Tried controller as well, it feels better but I don't like having to rush to plug it in and out.

Is it a glitch that you can use ironsights in a mounted gun with the flamer pickup? :v:

man this really sucks, I'm restarting the mission for the 3rd time now [t]http://techbot.xyz/ShareX/screenshots/2016/10/25/Battlefield%E2%84%A2_1_12-27_3583.jpg[/t]

I'm level 4 (or 5) and have gotten 2 battlepacks already. First one I glitched and used twice, and the second one I got a puzzle piece in. I scrapped all my skins and the puzzle piece but I can't use my warbonds to unlock new weapons, glitch? [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] Oh. They aren't warbonds.

[QUOTE=Skipcast;51257314]Can't you use both at the same time? Might have to disable vibration.[/QUOTE] I use both at the same time with zero problems, I usually fly circles around people trying to keep up with mouse

Maybe I should try making some flight config using the Steam Controller.

The Extended Autoloading 8.25 is too fun and useful not to use.

[QUOTE=Tobin;51256909]They should've just not had a singleplayer, waste of developer resources and takes up a lot of unnecessary hard drive space[/QUOTE] a good amount of the singleplayer missions use the same maps as the multiplayer, it probably didnt add much content to the game

wooo pay day final rolled around, just gotta sit through a 40gb download.

[QUOTE=yellowoboe;51257303]What does everyone use to fly? I tried the mouse but the limited wrist aiming amount of space puts an end to that. Tried controller as well, it feels better but I don't like having to rush to plug it in and out.[/QUOTE] I use keyboard and mouse, but with re-binded keys. Inverse mouse controls for flight, throttle up is Spacebar, throttle down is ctrl. Pitch up is S and pitch down is W, roll left is q and roll right is e. Works pretty well for longer turns, and to snap into a target faster, while using the mouse for finer aim.

Changed my settings around and I can fly alright now. Gonna have to wait till I have an actual desk with space to move the mouse around till I really feel alright with it.

[QUOTE=simkas;51257005]And then people would complain that there's no singleplayer.[/QUOTE] I wish it didn't, that way I would've avoided the disappointment when I finished it so quickly.

[QUOTE=AJ10017;51257692]a good amount of the singleplayer missions use the same maps as the multiplayer, it probably didnt add much content to the game[/QUOTE] I personally only noticed two that did. Well, technically 3.

That fucking medal tracking system is complete garbage. Who thought it would be a good idea to put these in, but also restrict progression to whatever medal you tracked [I]and[/I] only make them unlock linearly ? You have to basically go out of your way to force yourself to change how you play for the worse, get tilted and ruin everyone else's day because that medal system railroads you into doing stupid shit repeatedly - since it's all linear and on a time constraint trying to do those challenges naturally as you play the game is out of the question. It's a complete waste of time and best left ignored imho. Would actually serve a purpose if it wasn't so counter-intuitive to complete them.

Where the fuck is hardcore mode already. Is it just going to sit there saying COMING SOON for 6 months

There's some that are a bit more out there but the majority is super basic stuff.

I'm having a weird issue where sometimes the audio will just completely cut out as if every sound got reset, then gradually come back. Anyone else had this or know how to fix it? [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] Should say it just randomly started happening today, worked fine yesterday.

[QUOTE=simkas;51258218]How are you going out of your wait to complete stuff like "win 3 rounds" or "kill 20 people as assault"? There's some that are a bit more out there but the majority is super basic stuff.[/QUOTE] There's some really specific ones and when the game has a challenge where you gotta kill 10 people with a sidearm before you can even unlock kills with other weapons you're basically forced to only use a pistol until you get those ten kills, because you're otherwise going to miss out on XP with every kill you take with anything else. And since you can only complete one challenge at a time, in the order the game has decided, you have to do these as quickly as possible if you want to actually benefit from the XP gains it offers. So it's better to just flat out ignore this garbage because at least in my case every single challenge is something among the lines of "take 10 kills with this weapon/gadget that's not meant to take kills".
