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

[QUOTE=Keychain;50986935]Sorry if this has been mentioned but it just happened to me. If you get revived literally the instant you die, you'll get stuck on the deploy menu indefinitely because the game thinks you're alive and won't let you deploy.[/QUOTE] Wasn't this a bug in BF3 :v:?

uuuuugh light tanks bring down the entire game, it takes literally no effort to sit in one and rack up kills out the ass by having no real counters unless theres another tank or you are dumb enough to sit still infront of the anti tank turrets. like i havent see a landship or heavy tank at all since people found out light tank is just 100x better.

I feel like tanks won't be such a problem in the full game because unlocks will work properly and everyone will have the rocket rifle. And this map feels like it really caters to tanks over infantry, they might not be so bad on other maps. Another thing I really hate about this map is how easy it is to flank around and back-cap. The whole thing is just both teams circling around each other while a couple guys sit back and snipe and I've never really had a focused fight. I think removing the useless cap point out in the middle of the desert and therefore bringing up the boundary of the map on that side could fix this.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;50986566]the only real complaint i got is that light tanks are way too strong. they feel like BF4 tanks but with no way to do direct damage like rocket launchers. the only way we get stomped in rush is if the enemy holds onto the light tanks the entire match.[/QUOTE] Assault has an AT rocket launcher, and I've taken out at least one light tank with it so far, among other things. If you want to worry about something being too powerful, look no further than the AA variant of the artillery truck. planes, tanks, infantry, nothing is safe from that firerate.

Light tanks need a lot less armor same with the arty truck. the only vehicles that should be hard to take down are the heavy/landship and the bomber/event vehicles. the light tank is a straight upgrade from the other tanks, and the AA on the arty tank is not nearly as damaging as the light tank's cannon.

The Model 10 is a fucking monster. Which is cool, because I own one. :dance: I need to get a trench barrel on mine.

Light tank shouldn't have the self repair option. You can access the engine in the Mk.V and (I think) the A7V without leaving it, but not the FT17, so it kind of makes sense.

I think I need to get used to SMGs and shotties. I am absolutely terrible with them. DMRs are really cool though. The M1916 is absolutely boss.

[QUOTE=sa2fan;50987140]I think I need to get used to SMGs and shotties. I am absolutely terrible with them. DMRs are really cool though. The M1916 is absolutely boss.[/QUOTE] I'll probably be using the M1916 and the Remington Model 8 in the full game mostly.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;50985826]i like making it go choo choo[/QUOTE] Hearing the train horn just fills me with immense fear and dread now as I've not had a single game yet where my team got the train, and have only been on the receiving end of it's horrifically effective arsenal. Hearing it ring out through a harsh sandstorm while sitting at D reminds me of War of the Worlds when the tripods make that blaring noise before massacring everyone.

The armored train is a beast. I've had multiple bombers try and come at us and the machinegun fire + the flak cannon makes it impenetrable. I have yet to not be on the Ottoman Empire's team.

Just took out 2 bombers and 2 attackers in a single life with the Anti-tank cannon attack plane, this thing is just stupid. It only takes 2 hits to down a bomber (60 dmg each shell) and 1 to take out anything else.

If you are on a horse, and your enemy is on a horse and either of you pull your gun out you may as well just uninstall the game.

Is it just me or is the 1911 a weak sack of shit compared to bf3/4 I swear i shot some guy at least 5-6 times and he still got up and ran away

The AT gun should be able to easily kill or atleast detrack/disable the light tank tbh. I've managed to carry 2 whole defender matches simply because the light tank is too bloody good. Fuck, I even managed to repair myself back to 70% from 40% in front of 2 AT guns, they're that piss weak against the light tank.

[video=youtube;ZZtBpBKk46s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZtBpBKk46s[/video] This honestly caught me so off guard, it was great

That end of round music from BF1 is glorious. I hope someone uploads it somewhere soon

So is there a bug where your classes don't level? I'm still stuck at 0 for my assault

[video=youtube;5EDpoZM6uqg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDpoZM6uqg[/video] It's incredibly intense when the round is about to end.

Does anyone play BF4? I applied for the platoon but it looks dead.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;50987379]So is there a bug where your classes don't level? I'm still stuck at 0 for my assault[/QUOTE] That is certainly what it seems like. I've randomly been able to level Medic twice and Assault and Support once. The thing is, it doesn't seem to be linked to kills or even points you get from capturing or defending. I think the medic leveling was due to actually healing people and the Support was from giving ammo like candy. Not sure how I leveled Assault, since AT grenades are full of failure. Also, the shotgun in both forms is fucking insane. According to my stats I've used the Model 10-A Factory for a grand total of 21 minutes and managed to get 34 kills with it. kits the only primary weapon I've used that has a KPM rate above 1.0. Considering the intermittent lag, rubberbanding, and generally wonkyness of the game so far that's nothing short of incredible. Also, saw this pointed out in another thread and not sure if you've seen it here; go to the battlefield website and you can use your "warbucks" (warbonds?) to unlock everything regardless of your class level. That's how I'm running around with shotguns and the AT Rocketgun on my Assault class while Support is tearing through everything with MG-15 and Incendiary Grenades and Medic is rocking the Selbstlader M1916 Artillery. Yay. [url]http://www.battlefield.com/career[/url]

is there any way I can get on a team in rush that isn't just garbage literally take all three tanks and just play bumper cars instead of fucking doing your jobs jesus christ [editline]1st September 2016[/editline] and chitter at me in portuguese when i tell you to fuck off sure why not

[QUOTE=the_killer24;50987570]disregard this, fixed as of this morning[/QUOTE] Damn, that sucks. Now you actually need to level your class? That's nigh impossible. At least it let me keep what I've already unlocked.

Played some more BF1 tonight, this time on Rush. DICE, please stop trying to stuff as many tanks as possible into everything. Show some restraint. Tanks are awesome and so much fun to play as mobile multi-person doom fortresses, but when there's so many of them out there it kind of takes away from the game. There should be [I]one[/I] tank in Rush. That's how Bad Company 2 did it, and BC2 is still the king of the Rush game mode. It focuses players and makes the tank a valuable resource that needs to be preserved. Put that tank on a longer spawn time too. What especially annoys me about having so many tanks is that armored cars are actually very effective, and that's an awesome change of pace. I like seeing these mobile machine gun wielding things actually see some practical use. You don't need to have so many tanks when an armored car is already very effective. Despite my complaining though, I'm having a lot of fun with the game. I'm very pleasantly surprised by how damn effective and satisfying the bolt action rifles are, especially the Gewehr 95 with iron sights. I just wish scopes weren't so ubiquitous, because they encourage people to be the shitty useless sniper that nobody likes. Oh yeah, and those emplaced AT guns are fucking awesome, effective, and feel amazing to fire. These things are exactly as good as they should to be.

dogfighting is super unrewarding, since you can spend a minute trying to kill a guy only for him to jump out when his plane is doomed and you get 30 points

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50987739]dogfighting is super unrewarding, since you can spend a minute trying to kill a guy only for him to jump out when his plane is doomed and you get 30 points[/QUOTE] I remember the exact same thing happening in BF4 Shoot at enemy jet/helicopter vehicle disabled LOL BAIL OUT!

[QUOTE=Araknid;50987787]I remember the exact same thing happening in BF4 Shoot at enemy jet/helicopter vehicle disabled LOL BAIL OUT![/QUOTE] At least in BF1 if you bail out of a plane you become effectively useless and will probably get killed pretty quick.
