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

Something's weird with this Battlefield, I'm having fun but I feel like playing Battlefront, they even took some of animations (pistol stance, sprint anim) and even some of the cursors (same cursor when you are sprinting). It's the part of the game I really can't stand, it's not the greatest BF I played ATM, it's cool, beautiful and sound is great but... feel really casual. :-(

I'm starting to get annoyed by the time to kill for lmgs. I always shoot at them first but either they kill me faster or someone else finishes them off for me.

Seems like more people do actual teamwork there.

I just tried Rush and I don't even know how you're supposed to manage to win on defense. How do you deal with 4 tanks when none of the classes have any anti-tank weaponry? Also I'll second that the game feels a lot like Battlefront, not sure if I like that or not yet.

Tanks in rush are infuriating, and the third defense point is literally impossible to hold. It's supposed to be a push through the ravine but there's 0 way to defend your flank and the attacker just camps the ridge.

Uhh what class gets fucking AT rifles? I got killed by one and I have no idea where to get one

[QUOTE=Araknid;50987787]I remember the exact same thing happening in BF4 Shoot at enemy jet/helicopter vehicle disabled LOL BAIL OUT![/QUOTE] Oh forgot to mention that it's even worse if you're playing as an engineer with stinger/igla. I have barely ever gotten kills with a stinger or igla because it always just disables and the pilot jumps out. Also, is there any real reason to use Igla over Stinger? I know the range is better on Igla but it doesn't feel like it's worth it enough. And also, in hardcore in BF4, do vehicles take extra damage from RPGs, Stingers, that sort of shit?

[QUOTE=Kyle902;50988082]Uhh what class gets fucking AT rifles? I got killed by one and I have no idea where to get one[/QUOTE] Assault gets some AT rocket rifle and there's a AT rifle kit pickup at E.

The AT rocket rifle only does about 16 damage per hit, and you need to be stationary/deployed to use it. When you hit LT's with it they just drive away after the first shot or two to repair, and that's assuming you could stay out in the open long enough to take the shots without being hit by a sniper. The rocket rifle is okay, but it's not the answer you'd expect/hope for it to be. They're trying/need to keep it on the low side since it's a class weapon and they don't want tanks to be moving coffins. As a result, they are completely dominating at the moment.

I feel like it would be fun if people were working together but right now I honestly am not getting too much joy out of it. Battles are such a random cluster fuck and the teams are so dispersed that when you do get fights it feels like you randomly bumped into somebody else, not that you are actually pushing a point / defending one. The only people who feel like they have any control of engagements are snipers who fill up 3/4ths of every team.

So, the FK 96 is my new favorite weapon in BF1. It is the only anti armor weapon that's actually worth anything when trying to take down a heavy tank. Shame its only stationary. Still, it is a great deal of fun sniping people with it. Few people expect to actually get hit by an emplaced gun. [video]https://youtu.be/O5hioJqzWVg[/video]

[QUOTE=StrykerE;50988124]If an aircraft deploys flares and you manage to reacquire the lock, the missile will loop back around to the target[/QUOTE] Yeah but since half the jets/helis use ECM, by the time that shit goes away and you can lock on again with the igla, the iglas missile is long gone

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;50986732]AT grenades need to explode on contact or have a shorter fuse, real fuse time is useless when the tanks are so much faster than they were irl[/QUOTE] They actually do explode on contact. Edit: Also for those worrying about armor, don't worry. The same thing happened in the closed beta, and after abour 4 days people learnt how to deal with tanks, and you saw them dominate extremely rarely. Right now matches are filled with level 0-10s still opening fire on a tank with LMGs. Give it a few days, and people will deal with them pretty easy.

Having an animation for it makes it much more fun to use IMO, I've been using it a fair amount in the beta.

I still forget to do it after every shot.

why the fuck would they lock a revolver behind fucking RGO kills? It's practically impossible to kill anyone with them, if they detonate at your feet they only do 75 fucking damage.

I think this ain't the right use of a horse: [vid]http://i.imgur.com/B6x7MfN.mp4[/vid] (horse glitches, creates a 2nd copy in front of the train?!)

have you had a bug where an enemy airplane shows up as friendly on the minimap?

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;50987540]Does anyone play BF4? I applied for the platoon but it looks dead.[/QUOTE] woops let me get on that

[QUOTE=ColdAsRice;50987293]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[/QUOTE] Pistols in this game are great. I actually use them a lot compared to bf4 where it was pointless to use. Its probably because low capacity weapons.

Also, Russian lever action BEST SNIPER, tru fact

Seeing most people running Scout and occasionally support makes this more like WW1 than people expected with all the bolt-actions

[QUOTE=RookieXtz;50988532]Seeing most people running Scout and occasionally support makes this more like WW1 than people expected with all the bolt-actions[/QUOTE] Where are you playing ? Since in most games I have joined people just go assault or support and blindly spray when fighting. It's quite annoying since I love the way the bolt action rifles feel, but sometimes I feel discouraged on using them, knowing I could have a way easier time if I just blindly sprayed everywhere like others.

Speaking of classes, is there a way to see who you can revive with medic? Or if the Q-request thing does anything at all? Because I just kind of run around the battlefield with my syringe and stab random corpses with it. Sometimes they wake up, usually they don't.

And I think usually if their body still has the skull icon on the map, you can revive.

I see a lot more Scout classes than assault. Hell i see medic classes more than assault. Also i've noticed that you can one on one against smg with bolt rifle if you dont miss the 2 shots required to kill.
