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

I'm loving the rifleman variants of the bolt actions (ie no scopes), But having to use them with the scout loadout is a pain, it would be nice if all classes could use bolt actions without optics, and perhaps only the scout could use them with scopes and such. It would make them a more viable option and make the game look a lot more authentic, although it would probably also kill the contrast between classes so I suppose it won't happen.

Oh man, the rocket rifle is great. I managed to get a double kill by shooting at a dude far away and the shell exploded and also killed the guy next to him.

Just fucking great! Was just in a very closed match with both team's score neck-and-neck with 2 minutes left. My squad and i just finished capturing C then all the sudden, DICE decide to disconnect me to their server. :what:

I finally got it working with the registry edit, but I'm kind of disappointed that I can't run it as well as I hoped I could. Considering Battlefront came out last year, looked great on my computer, and ran well after the first 30 seconds to a minute after loading into a map, I didn't expect I'd have to run this game on all low at 15 to 20 fps. It feels fun though, but looks like I'm sorely in need of an upgrade if I want to play it on the PC.

What gpu do you have?

I'm enjoying the "I spawn with literally no weapons" bug

Please tell me there's some form of ranged way to deal with tanks because right now it's looking more like World Of Tanks than Battlefield

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;51001859]Please tell me there's some form of ranged way to deal with tanks because right now it's looking more like World Of Tanks than Battlefield[/QUOTE] Anti Tank gun. Or throw your AT grenade really really far Also, mounted rocket launcher / cannon thing. Think it was the FK-93?

Anti-vehicle combat in the beta is so fucked. No wonder people are going 30-0 in light tanks.

[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;51001859]Please tell me there's some form of ranged way to deal with tanks because right now it's looking more like World Of Tanks than Battlefield[/QUOTE] Assault gets an AT rifle (like recoil-less rocket gun, but a bolt action thing), there's the anti-tank rifle pick up, there's stationary guns around the place, the Assault and Cavalry classes both get AT grenades, all (customisable) classes can equip mini-AT grenades, and the Scout gets K rounds which do minor damage.

Related: Went 30-0 in first game of howitzer variant. I seriously don't understand the design. The trade off for the howitzer should be more damage with less range or accuracy...but they give it an HMG that covers that weakness against infantry? I feel like the default FT-17 should get an HMG and lower the cannon damage, while the howitzer just has to rely on it's single big gun. Haven't tried the flanker yet.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;51001882]Anti-vehicle combat in the beta is so fucked. No wonder people are going 30-0 in light tanks.[/QUOTE] It's fucked because people are either sniping, or running around close range not really attempting to take out tanks. You'd think people would find it at least somewhat important in rush considering he with tanks wins, but nope.

Also you can bayonet people Sentry's, and they aren't happy about it in chat either :v: [editline]4th September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Daemon White;51001896]It's fucked because people are either sniping, or running around close range not really attempting to take out tanks.

I made several posts during the alpha talking about how great infantry/vehicle balance was and on numerous occasions solo'd all 3 tank classes as a lone assault but I can't get shit done right now without the AT rocket, which was apparently nerfed?

Why is the class where you can repair vehicles only accessible via picking a vehicle

[QUOTE=redBadger;51001956]Why is the class where you can repair vehicles only accessible via picking a vehicle[/QUOTE] In the final game medics should get the repair tool.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;51001882]Anti-vehicle combat in the beta is so fucked. No wonder people are going 30-0 in light tanks.[/QUOTE] Pro-tip to people complaining that tanks are broken. Assaults AT mines can be put down instantly with no animation, so run up right against a tank, drop all three, it auto-switches you to your primary, unload into the pile of the three mines for an instant kill on any vehicle. AT Grenades and Rocket Rifles are fucking awful and should never be used against tanks, just stack all three mines and unload.

To everyone who plays the medic class, if you see a dead teammate on your feet(me), revive his fucking ass rather than shooting out the window and getting yourself killed nigga!

Also if you're support and using the light AT-grenades and the ammo pouch you can pretty much be constantly throwing the grenades. I've killed a few tanks trying to take points by just constantly running around them and pelting them with grenades. I feel like there's no point to use any other grenade. You can still flush out and finish off f infantry with them and it gives you some sort of AT no matter what class you are

It's like pelting people with smoke in BC2, only it damages them too.

I have the rifle frag grenades and the medical crate, I focus on keeping people alive and enemies dead instead of reviving teammates.

tried going medieval with the armour pickup near F [t]http://i.imgur.com/pj94cOr.png[/t] lets you have considerably more fun with the sabre when you can shrug off loads of hits

Im assuming this picture of the possibly 9+ release maps has been shown here? [t]http://i.imgur.com/JiSwyAy.jpg[/t] I'm most excited about empires edge tbh, having a battleship as a behemoth would be fun as fuck.

Does the game crash a lot for anyone else? In the last 2 times I played I've had 4-5 CTD's.

A Verdun map would be really cool. Though there'd need to be like 3 or 4 flags dedicated to a fort.
