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

I cant even play a match now, it kicks me back to menu each time.

Although I haven't been able to play much, I'd say one of the things I like most about the game is that you don't automatically put yourself on the mini-map when firing. It makes it so you have to engage in the game more than just looking at your minimap for red dots and I feel benefits sneakier people without limiting their loadout to silenced weapons. Its a shame I won't be buying it right now unless I get a new computer, since the beta just crashes after 15 minutes or so, but I'll definitely keep it on my to buy list in the future.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;51013076]Isn't Xfactor one of Lvlcap's cronies of ascended Call of Duty players?[/QUOTE] Neither of them played CoD, not as much as Battlefield at least.

For some reason I have everything unlocked now.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;51014299]For some reason I have everything unlocked now.[/QUOTE] same here I think it's because it's the last day of beta.

P.S If you want to stop 90% of snipers, get in a bomber and destroy the rocks going into the canyon you can actually destroy that rock bridge. I see no one doing this

The whole "skip revive" thing when you're dead is pants on head retarded and makes the medic even more useless and even less prone to actually revive. It's like DICE acknowledged the fact that players suck ass and never revive, so instead of looking at the problem and fixing it properly they added an instant respawn button.

Assuming a Medic actually does their fucking job and revives you, I've had plenty of Medics just run off completely ignoring that I requested a Revive.

i can count the number of times i've been revived with one finger

Now? I don't know whether or not they've already skipped the revive and I'm not risking my ass to save a dead man.

I try to play medic and revive people, but you can never tell where you're needed. And then you run into tanks on tanks on tanks and get blown the fuck up, so you have to switch to assault since no one knows how to kill tanks. Wish there were more reasons to play medic.

I am about 500% done with this map. Fun fights between C and D and B but then light tanks going 42-0 show up and just ruin things.

Wish there were more reasons to play medic.[/QUOTE] I was playing as medic on B and a single light tank was just rolling around killing people and like assaults would spawn but not do anything but run out and die??? I don't get it, like I know Battlefield players are generally really dumb but it's like they get worse every release. I died to the tank after retard squad made stood up and started shooting his rifle at it and it double killed us so I respawned as assault, got it down to 20% from full myself, respawned again and killed it from 100% again because being able to self repair your tank before the enemy can respawn is balanced in Sweden, I guess.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;51014968] like I know Battlefield players are generally really dumb but it's like they get worse every release. [/QUOTE] I attrubute this to the fact that the beta is free and only like 7gb

I might be alone, but I love running around and destroying tanks/vehicles with my AT Rocket.

Tank drivers going 40-0 can only be blamed on shitty pilots. The planes wreck tanks but all pilots do is fly around herpy derping and try to shoot down other planes and forget about anything on the ground

[QUOTE=Dougz;51015058]I might be alone, but I love running around and destroying tanks/vehicles with my AT Rocket.[/QUOTE] I liked it in the alpha I made a lot of posts about how great the infantry-vehicle dynamic was.

I think both the light tank and self repair in general are tad too strong. Light tank should lose a lot of capability just because it's a one man tank. Either it needs much less health or a much weaker cannon. Self repair I feel like is too quick or too convenient. Either make it simply take longer, or make it something you can't cancel out of, that way you need to plan it out and it becomes risky. [editline]7th September 2016[/editline] Oh yeah and I don't know if the artillery truck can be damaged by small arms fire, but it really should be able to be. It's way too good for what it is. Either that or at least get rid of the driver MG.

I can't seem to aim bombs right in attack planes. I line up the circle on the aiming thing with what I'm trying to hit but it only seems to hit 20% of the time. At what time should I drop the bombs?

wait, AT mines don't persist after death? what's even the point then?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;51015397]wait, AT mines don't persist after death? what's even the point then?[/QUOTE] They've been doing that since a patch in bf3, affected C4 as well deploy them onto vehicles at enemy deployment, kys and just blow them up as they get used

[QUOTE=Scratch.;51015439]They've been doing that since a patch in bf3, affected C4 as well deploy them onto vehicles at enemy deployment, kys and just blow them up as they get used[/QUOTE] C4 was being abused that way, Mines not. I don't see reason to limiting mines to single life either. If it is true, that they disappear once you die, no one will use them or barely anyone, as they reliability is much lower than of C4's (dynamite in this case).

Tanks need serious nerf when level 0 assault needs to literally hump the tank to get a kill, but every fucking side has a pair of eyes and a gun

The guy who manages their twitter is basically just putting out a "suggestions welcome" box to corral all the people spamming their account about another map release for the beta. VG247 is basically a non-source anyone can write for. If they're adding another map to the beta it's something they would have decided before it even went live.

And not like they're gonna add one now, the day before the beta ends.
