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

Man unlocking the Dice camo is such a pain in the fucking ass. Every time I try it I end up giving up after 10 minutes.

[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]On the one map currently available at least, I feel heavily disadvantaged using anything other than the scout, to be honest.

Ever since I started using the Remington M10 my k/d has taken a sharp upward climb. Try that. It's got a decent range and insta-kills up close, too. [editline]2nd September 2016[/editline] I have taken defended points by myself with it

It took me two AT grenades and three dynamite to kill a Landship. Holy shit.

I'm kind of disappointed none of the of the rifle-mounted grenades for the medic class explode on impact. I thought it would make a good ''WW1'' substitute to underbarrel grenade launchers to blow up walls and such. Now it's an obsolete weapon that shoots grenades that take like 5 seconds to explode ( There are few situations where shooting a grenade is preferable over just shooting someone with your semi-auto rifle ) , doesn't wreck walls and is very difficult to get kills with.

[QUOTE=TheBloodyNine;50988137]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.[/QUOTE] Yeah this annoys me quite a bit. There are no real frontlines or choke points. It's just a giant brawl, you just engage random enemies. At times though you might find a good team and you actually advance to a position, but it's rather rare. Although it could also just be the map.

So I reinstalled bf4 after a year of not playing, and holy shit does it look plain compared to BF1 in all it's PBR glory

Holy hell the Gewer is insane.

Tried playing the beta on my macbook (i7, gt 650m) and it ran surprisingly well at ~30-40fps with low settings. Man I felt right at home playing with m+kb again instead of using the ps4 controller

I don't really understand the kit unlock system. Played a ton of Medic and Assault, no ranks. Play four rounds of Scout, rank up from getting AA kills.

A solution seems to be to play one match, disconnect upon final statscreen and then connect to a new server

[QUOTE=Anglor;50988958]It's currently broken, I believe you have to avoid playing consecutive matches on the same server. A solution seems to be to play one match, disconnect upon final statscreen and then connect to a new server[/QUOTE] They've actually fixed this

Are you sure? Because I'm still stuck at ranks 0,1,0,0 after 7 hours of play

So is the horse hitbox fucking huge?

thought would try it now since open to all. still each team 50% scouts as usual in battlefield :/

Sounds like people are having a hard time leveling their classes up like me. I haven't gotten any level up for any of my classes, which is a shame. Luckily I'm enjoying the guns I already have but I have a lot of war bonds ready to burn. EDIT: [QUOTE=Pinut;50989100]thought would try it now since open to all. still each team 50% scouts as usual in battlefield :/[/QUOTE] This hasn't been my experience at all. I have seen a ton of Scouts and I must admit the amount of Supports I see are low, but I still see plenty of Medics and Assaults. I actually prefer both Medic and Assault to Scout since I find the guns easier to use and the abilities they have more useful (healing on the move is sooooooooooo goooooooooood). I really don't know what to think of the support though. On the one hand I've found their bomb to be good against tanks, and LMGs aren't bad guns. On the other hand, I don't know what role the LMG actually serves compared to the semi-autos of the Medic, the SMGs of the Assault and the Bolt Actions of the Scout. What do you guys think LMGs should be used for?

i bought battlefront last week and have been playing it throughout the last couple days and now with battlefield 1 it looks so similar that my muscle memory is making it hard to play. -spawn -try to use jetpack -throw grenade and kill self this has happened to me like 8 or 9 times in the past day

I got invited to DICE to playtest I think BF1 :v: Getting free BF1 + other games for the effort.

They kept spawning them over and over again.

Being the tail gunner in a bomber is extremely fun. Feels so cinematic, every time.

anyone else notice breakdancing planes on the ground after they crash?

[QUOTE=Glitchman;50989415]anyone else notice breakdancing planes on the ground after they crash?[/QUOTE] Saw a biplane nose straight down and it spun like a top for a full 30 seconds. Was glorious. [editline]2nd September 2016[/editline] I wish I could get the cavalry sabre on foot instead of my club or shovel.

Shotgun + AT Cannon is a spectacular combination for the town, A, B, E, F, G, D, about almost every site, shotgun is OP as fuck, and the AT Cannon makes destroying those sniper spot buildings easy.
