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

[QUOTE=FezianEmperor;50985415] I mean, these issues probably will be resolved due to the AT launcher that we can't get on beta because of the class level bug being a problem to fight tanks.[/QUOTE] You can still level up you classes, it just takes forever. I unlocked the rocket rifle after ~5 hours of play

[QUOTE=halfer;50985254]Were animations like this a thing in BF4? I don't really remember 0:08 [media]https://youtu.be/B8hYM0S57Fs[/media][/QUOTE] Like I said, death animations in BF1 are very well made. I don't recall BF4 looking as good as these.

[QUOTE=FezianEmperor;50985415]I mean, these issues probably will be resolved due to the AT launcher that we can't get on beta because of the class level bug being a problem to fight tanks.[/QUOTE] if this hasn't been addressed yet, you can just go to battlefield.com/career and unlock shit that way without level restrictions

[QUOTE=the_killer24;50985446]if this hasn't been addressed yet, you can just go to battlefield.com/career and unlock shit that way without level restrictions[/QUOTE] Does that still work? When I go on the website, things that are outside of my level requirement dont have a "buy" or "unlock" option on them

[QUOTE=the_killer24;50985446]if this hasn't been addressed yet, you can just go to battlefield.com/career and unlock shit that way without level restrictions[/QUOTE] They just recently fixed it, you now need class levels to unlock them from there too. But for some reason, the progress bars for class levels still don't show your progress.

I really love the gameplay of BF1 Beta. It feels like a cross of the arcade gameplay of Battlefront with the tactical roles and equipment of BF3/4. I feel like if they really kept at it this could be as fun as Bad Company 2.

Anti-tank grenades are utterly useless in the beta I've never once seen them explode on contact, and you can be a light tank, literally sit on top of them, and only lose what, 25, 30 ish health? I had a 28-0 killstreak today just driving around in the FT-17 between the canyons on the British side of the conquest map. If you manage your ammo stores well, its very difficult to get killed unless 4-5 people rush you at once or another tank comes along. Sometimes I almost died laughing watching assaults sprint towards me only to obliterate them with a canister shot

Yeah, I must say the anti tank grenades are completely useless. Especially the charges. The mines fair better against it though. But they still have the initial delay before they activate and blow up on the trampling tank. Honestly, I think AT launcher will be the goto anti tank equipment at launch.

I was sitting at the top of a hill in an armored car using the machine gun to suppress snipers at apples and some sperg jumped in, pressed w and then jumped out so i just rolled down the hill and lost my sight line fucking christ

I confronted him on VoIP to say not to move it (there was a car literally 20 feet away), and I was told to fuck off and stop camping. It hurt my feelings...

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oUex0ZuHxo[/media] Cavalry armour is powerful enough to stop enough bullets to kill three men, but nothing fells cavalry like a wall and a blade.

related: The train is fucking [B]good[/B]. I don't know if they buffed it since the Gamescom event but I'm seeing a lot more comebacks and closer games when it comes out. The anti-air gun demolishes planes and it can move between 3 flags while shelling one of them it's not currently at. Also seems to have a shitload of health because when I do strafing runs with the bomber killer kit the healthbar barely moves.

The train is easily felled by the A7V. I disabled seemingly all of its guns by myself in one :v:

[QUOTE=Zeos;50985398]There is the rocket rifle, but you have to be completely stationary and has a horrendous reload. It's good fun though, considering anything you hit is basically obliterated[/QUOTE] rocket rifle is basically the most fun thing in the beta, it's an amazing anti-sniper weapon. wish there was something that felt like in in bf4 T-gewehr is also good but it's rare to get it [QUOTE=Raidyr;50985638]related: The train is fucking [B]good[/B].

i like making it go choo choo

[QUOTE=Revenge282;50985227]Keep in mind your generic "alpha, bravo, charlie, etc." weren't brought to the forefront until NATO and the 1950s.[/QUOTE] This is what the Brits used in 1918 for anyone curious. [quote]Apples Butter Charlie Duff Edward Freddie George Harry Ink Johnny King London Monkey Nuts Orange Pudding Queenie Robert Sugar Tommy Uncle Vic William X-Ray Yorker Zebra[/quote] Their phonetic alphabet from 1914 was different from this one.

Kinda miffed you can't have a regular boltgun as assault. I'd love to have one instead of SMGs. Doesn't seem unreasonable. And the prevalence of self-loading weapons isn't what I expected. I was hoping it would be mostly bolt guns, but I guess that was sort of silly to expect. Still feels pretty different when compared to BF4, but it's a little far-fetched in my mind seeing every soldier running around with an automatic. Guess it's more fun for the masses that way, though. Nitpicking aside, the game is fun as hell, and looks retardedly good.

Am I missing something with the weapon customization? I don't seem to have any points/currency to unlock any alternate weapons. How do you earn some?

be nice if I could play the game. seem to be the only one who can't atm. tells me server disconnected every time

Not exactly sure what's happened in the past couple days but now when I get on my PS4, there's dead conquest servers and all the rush servers with players have at least an 8 person queue. Been waiting for forever to get in a game.

I ran into a horse with a plane and my plane exploded and I died and he got the kill plane fuel can't melt horse bones

[QUOTE=Mislum;50985983]Quality ride (13MB warning) [/QUOTE] One of the best underrated changes, being able to ride on top of vehicles. [editline]1st September 2016[/editline] Holy shit I just realized, you can spawn as a cavalryman, dismount your horse, and get on a landship [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Z6f7xKk.png[/IMG]

Bipods are actually pretty good [vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/fhujln.webm[/vid]

yep, unable to actually play the game and EA support did fuck all. oh well.

Bless them for making bipods automatic and more lenient compared to BF4 where there's an annoying fold out animation every time and moving at all dislodges it.

AA artillery truck is OP. I even took down a landship with it.

how do I get to actual EA chat? Ever time I submit a ticket it doesn't give me the option to chat. I don't want to talk to another indian guy I can barely understand.

How do you use the vehicle stuff like the Renault's autocannon?
