Behemoth Wars when? I.E two teams scramble to take a series of small island positions while two dreadnoughts pound each other

[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;51274494]Behemoth Wars when? I.E two teams scramble to take a series of small island positions while two dreadnoughts pound each other[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was surprised they didn't go for a Titan sort of mode where we have to board each other's blimps or something.

Maybe they'll trickle in more unique modes over time. At launch they had one new unique mode (to dice games), two series staples, unique take on a common mode, and two generic modes for newcomers. I understand keeping the types of modes to a minimum to avoid players spreading to thin, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not have things like superiorities or behemoth battles. Like the end of through mud and blood talks about a 300 tank battle, shouldn't we be able to recreate that in mp?

The sniper periscope is actually really fucking useful. it racks up a lot of points too

Speaking of airship glitches, I had an operation ruined yesterday because for the entire round, spawning into the airship would instantly kill you - we couldn't get a person in it to even drive the bloody thing.

i find it ridiculous that people can sidestep your bullets no matter how close you, why the fuck do you even [I]need[/I] to lead with sights at such a close distance i'll never know. also it seems that RoF>everything else even if you do get the jump on people

I've mainly played operations since launch and I haven't seen offense win once, it honestly feels like they need either more tickets per round or at least one more attack wave because they never come close to winning even with balanced teams.

[B][URL="http://imgur.com/a/3W5n0"]Here are some screenshots of the glitches that happen while I play this game. Note that these happen momentarily.[/URL][/B] EDIT: I've updated my drivers today. These screenshots are from today. Also my GPU doesn't go above 70 degrees while playing this game as far as I remember. Here is my previous post: [QUOTE]I've started to experience visual glitches while in-game after I downgraded my Resolution Scale to %90. I played with the Resolution Scale a bit too much to see which fits me best and now artifacts never stop appearing from time to time, not all the time. They just pop-up instantly and disappear. Triangle-ish glitches or a not so wide vertical red or white glitch. This doesn't happen in any other game. This didn't happen in my first 2-3 plays, as I said, after I played with the setting a bit much. I play the game on High settings. My specs: OS: Windows 10 Motherboard: ASUS Z77A CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.4GHz (Ivy Bridge, Quad Core, LGA 1155) RAM: GSKILL Sniper 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD GPU: Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X 3GB 384Bit DX11.2 Power Supply: Xigmatek Centauro 800W (80+) I've tried: - Reinstalling drivers - Doing thermal paste to my GPU & CPU - Reinstalling the game[/QUOTE]

Odds are you get dropped into offense because people quit, people don't quit defense since they're usually winning. They need some kind of handicap, whether it's having their own, higher amount of tickets, slower spawning, spawning further back, being unable to cap points after attackers get them, etc. I'm not sure what they need to change, but the whole mode needs to be tweaked. It's a shame, because operations is the best mode when it plays out fairly. Conquest/Rush don't have its intensity because of rush's lower playercount and conquest not actually having a front line, more of a revolving circle of point capping.

How does the revive mechanic work in BF1 compared to BF3 and 4? If memory serves, in BF3 you can revive people over and over to full health with no charge up. In BF4 you can't revive someone twice in a row and you have to charge for a while for them to revive with full HP.

insta-revive, but you can't revive twice in a row also fucking revive skipping [editline]28th October 2016[/editline] I will never not be mad at DICE for this (at least unless it's removed)

I'm guessing if you turn off the HUD completely that this issue is gone? It also looks like you're still using 90%, does it still happen at 100%? Do you have another PCI-e slot you can put the card in and try? You always want to use the top one for your GPU, as the ones below it will be 8x or 4x instead of 16x, but for troubleshooting purposes it should suffice. It's rare that the PCI-e slot can cause artifacting but it can It's probably not a VRAM issue, or motherboard bus issue at least, since this is the only game it happens in and VRAM going bad has distinct artifacting. Do you have Battlefield 4 installed by chance? It looks like it's only doing it on the 2D/UI portions, and BF4 uses pretty much the same thing. Honestly though, I think it's just the game being buggy with your hardware, and the UI is glitched out because it's anal about the render scale. Instead of reinstalling the game you could also look around for a profile/save folder that doesn't get removed when uninstalling and delete it, and having the game re-make it when you launch it.

If there's no medics around, I don't want to have to sit there and stare at basically nothing for 10 seconds.

[QUOTE=simkas;51275174]Why the hell would they remove it?

[QUOTE=simkas;51275174]Why the hell would they remove it? If there's no medics around, I don't want to have to sit there and stare at basically nothing for 10 seconds.[/QUOTE] that's a problem with the overall death UI design in general (especially compared to BF4 where it sends you to the selection screen two seconds later but still lets other people revive)

The revive notification needs work period. People's revive icons need to show on the edges of the screen even when they aren't in front of you, and if that isn't enough, someone wanting a revive could press Q and have them shout medic. The icon range needs to extend to about 30m, also And another thing, if I choose not to carry a syringe, I don't want to see revive icons, and players waiting for a revive shouldn't see me as an option nearby

I sadly don't have BF4 although maybe I'll download. Don't think it'll happen in BF4. I did re-install and delete my Battlefield 1 folder and made it recreate but same thing still happens. Maybe I'll try %100 resolution scale but hopefully they'll notice the post I made in BF and EA forums and fix this.

It won't keep the UI as crisp/small but balancing performance and graphics is always a tug of war of compromises

[QUOTE=_charon;51275185]There's no point in skipping before you can deploy anyways, and it's frustrating when you run out to save someone and then they skip and you die alone[/QUOTE] But there is a point? You can change your loadout and look at an actual useful overview of the map without having to waste time in which you could be deploying.

I've never not had a syringe so I'll have to check if reviveable people show up if I don't have one.

Then again it could be a bug, I picked up a medic kit after running out of assault ammo, and even though I died and played as assault for the rest of the game I could see revive icons

I picked up a medic's kit to try to revive him but he had already gone back to deploy so I switched back to my assault kit. I could see revive icons until my next life. I'll do some experimentation later.

You know those war movies where one side is charging the other under heavy gunfire/explosions and only the "hero" makes it to the end? Sometimes Operations is exactly like that. Except your allies never charged to begin with and are all sitting in their base, sniping and you will of course die alone in horrible agony.

Gonna lower the settings to Medium I guess.

Oh my fucking god Starting the Battlefield Companion app after closing it completely resets all loadouts. FML
