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

Shucks, was really hoping for an SMLE skin or two

[QUOTE=Del91;51267745]Buy monster...unless that's an American only thing....[/QUOTE] wot

G98 and G M.95 skins get hype

Still haven't bought the game yet, but how do these battlepack season things work? Do they actually update the game to release new skins or what?

[QUOTE=Derp123213;51267993]Still haven't bought the game yet, but how do these battlepack season things work? Do they actually update the game to release new skins or what?[/QUOTE] Seems not. I guess they have a big series of skins, and they will rotate throigh them, so the past season will start up again eventually etc

[QUOTE=Derp123213;51267993]Still haven't bought the game yet, but how do these battlepack season things work? Do they actually update the game to release new skins or what?[/QUOTE] They cycle through different "revisions" that have different sets of skins.

Friend of mine just posted this. [video]https://youtu.be/HwxUken6SeY[/video] Edit. He was stuck and couldnt do anything else.

Just lost a rush match on Empire's Edge because the doors that lead to one of the B points were bugged and didn't open. All of my rage. Especially since we were about to lose in the beginning and then managed to overthrow the match.

Are battlepacks drops random or is it given to players who do good? I really don't seem to get it. I played several games in a row and that same player would get battlepacks at the end of every games, while I got 1 total [editline]27th October 2016[/editline] Also I wish Hardcore was still a thing, I hate having to shoot a guy 6-7 times in the chest to kill him

[QUOTE=Orkel;51265908]Battlefield 1 needs more weapon variety.[/QUOTE] I still can't believe they used scoped variants to pad out the 4 guns per class.

Two idiots get in a fight. [vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/wxgjmz.webm[/vid]

[QUOTE=Wulfram;51267342]I love it, I have the most kills on it out of all the bolt actions (at about 500), though that's probably due to ending up playing Britain and Italy more than Germany or Austro-Hungary, but the discoloration on the front sight post bugs the shit out of me. I love that the SMLE has 10 rounds, a faster action, and a closer sweet spot, but the G98 has the best iron sights.[/QUOTE] I have to use the radium sights on the SMLE, if I don't I keep accidentally using one of the sight posts instead of the sight itself to aim.

having to unlock the same weapon 3 times with minor changes just sounds like a lazy as fuck system

Firing a spotting flare at one of the towers on fao fortress and watching it get destroyed by naval bombardment is sick

[QUOTE=Orkel;51266328]oh my god defending the B bunker on Grappa, what were dice thinking[/QUOTE] Fret not! Everytime I watch players to do anything defense type over B, I just bust out laughing and wish some type of [sp]levolution[/sp] would crater the whole thing... Splat! A giant crater, B strategies = none! That would save one a bit of trouble...

Support class sucks so much in this game, I'm instantly getting blasted in the face by literally every other class.

Joined a game during the last 5 minutes of it, got 1 kill, get a battlepack, I DID IT!

I tried using the Battlefield-app on Android and it reseted all my loadouts and thus re-attached bayonet to all my guns: [vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/shcvgu.mp4[/vid] :unimpressed:

Is it just me or did they nerf the damage of the heavier melee weapons? They seem to need 3 hits to kill enemies, just like knives, yet they attack slower. In the alpha and beta they only needed two hits

On the G95 when you cycle the bolt to chamber the last round you can hear the sound of the en bloc clip hitting the ground after it ejects out of the bottom of the rifle. It caught me off guard because I'm used to that ping sound meaning you're out of ammo after years of using a Garand in WWII shooters.

[QUOTE=Nexosz;51267669]there totally needs to be a button for medics so that they can inform the dead that they're coming for them - sometimes someone is just not close enough and is in a middle of the alleway under heavy fire, where it's not worth to risk my life to have him die instantly anyway. So I don't even bother. But sometimes you make it through, and are ready to rev some poor sod only to have him press the lmao button. And on the other side, people who suicide - sometimes when you die, there's no prompt to give up on being revive-able, so you naturally conclude that you died in a way that prevents medics from saving you (such as melee). But then you get revived, cause apparently that wasn't the case.[/QUOTE] I just wish we could have a third person view of our corpse again like in 1942

[QUOTE=Dune3z;51268518]having to unlock the same weapon 3 times with minor changes just sounds like a lazy as fuck system[/QUOTE] gotta grind for something There's lots of guns in bf4 because I guess it's somewhat easier to balance out for what we have in a modern setting however hardline had fuck all, and I hope the reason Bf1's system exist isn't one that takes inititive from hardline, which was given criticism for this detail. I'd probably have some less bullshit answer, but I'm not a war junkie who could tell about the many guns that may have existed in the war. Or they sell shit as DLC, that'd be typical

BF4 definitely had more guns simply because in our day theres just more guns to choose from. In WW1, Automatic Rifles were very recent, Semi Auto Rifles were still in the experimental stage for most countries and they still had a lot of problems, and SMGs had only just been invented. I think they made the right choice with the variants because though weapon variety isn't as lacking as most people thought it would be, its still pretty bare in that time period. From a gameplay perspective though, I rather fewer guns that work way differently than what we ended up with in BF4 where there are 3 guns that are essentially the same thing just with a single decimal difference.

The only other guns I could think of that could go in BF1 and fit with the factions included at launch are the Farquhar-Hill (which should have been the level 10 medic gun instead of the Luger rifle), the Ross Rifle, and the Reichsrevolver. French DLC is probably going to include some good stuff. Lebel, Berthier, Ruby pistol, and Chauchat for sure. There's also the RSC 1917, which was a semi auto rifle widely distributed to French troops in WWI (although they didn't like it) and the French also had a couple SMG prototypes. So we're getting at least one gun for each class there. Then with Russian DLC I'm seeing a bit of an issue. All they can really add there is the Mosin Nagant, Fedorov Avtomat, and Nagant revolver. Russia just used Chauchats and Madsens for LMGs and I don't believe they had any prototype SMGs.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;51268727]Clubs need 3, heavies need 2.[/QUOTE] You sure? I seem to need 3 with my pickaxe and i am pretty sure that is a heavy

I was actually expecting to see the Farquhar-Hill, maybe it'll be added in a later Xpac. Im expecting one to be a British Empire one that adds Canadians and ANZAC, so maybe thats where we'll get the Ross and Farquhar-Hill, and probably even the Webly because I dont think you can actually use it in Multiplayer.
