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

[QUOTE=redBadger;51014446]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[/QUOTE] How the hell do you do this? I've been trying to bomb and shoot shells at every part of that rock bridge (I assume you mean the one near G) and nothing.

[img]http://www.mattyoungwi.com/i/2016-09-07_20-09-39.jpg[/img] i could lie and say i destroyed all three of em but really i died about 10 seconds later

im getting my new cpu tomorrow on the last day of the beta. cant wait to play the game at 144 fps. I didn't even realize but my cpu is actually way below the low requirement.

It's gonna be a painful Private 0, I'll be without the weapon I can actually use.

I keep seeing all these people getting banned and it's a little disheartening to know people are hacking in [I]beta[/I].

[QUOTE=gk99;51017230]I keep seeing all these people getting banned and it's a little disheartening to know people are hacking in [I]beta[/I].[/QUOTE] people are more likely to cheat when nothing is really on the line. it happens with steam free weekends where the multiplayer component of the game is flooded with alt hackers for the entire duration.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;51017249]people are more likely to cheat when nothing is really on the line. it happens with steam free weekends where the multiplayer component of the game is flooded with alt hackers for the entire duration.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I realize that. It's just that it's been available for like a week and already people are hacking shit. I kinda wish they'd take the Blizzard/Overwatch approach where if you hack, that's it, you're fucked, beta or not, new account or not. [editline]a[/editline] I mean yeah that's over-the-top ridiculously harsh but I mean, I'm sure they'd quit doing it as much if they removed their ability to play at all. :v:

I was assuming the fairfight spam was from other Battlefield games, if those are BF1 cheaters then holy shit are there a lot of them.

[QUOTE=gk99;51017230]I keep seeing all these people getting banned and it's a little disheartening to know people are hacking in [I]beta[/I].[/QUOTE] The hackers are also having a beta test of their own it seems.

I went 37 and 14 with the gewehr 95. I have better aim at all ranges with iron sights than scopes or artillery sights for whatever reason.

The artillery sight is fucking awful. It's supposed to be a reflex optic, yet it gives magnification on the level of an ACOG in BF4.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;51017659]I went 37 and 14 with the gewehr 95. I have better aim at all ranges with iron sights than scopes or artillery sights for whatever reason.[/QUOTE] I find this is often the case mostly because I don't overcompensate for bullet travel time as easily.

When does the beta end exactly?

I dunno, but who wants to play with me? My Origin name is ABASurvivor. [editline]7th September 2016[/editline] I'll revive you when you die. Promise. Except for when the game doesn't let me. Or I die. But other than that, I'll revive you.

Im not sure but I dont think even half my shots are registering server side,that and weird glitches like the gasmask wont ever be put on it just plays the animation repeatedly with no effect and trying to throw a grenade starts a bayonet charge but I remain stationary. Also enemies firing shotguns causes the whole game to freeze for 3-4 seconds.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;51017684]The artillery sight is fucking awful.

Yeah im calling BS on the land bridge being destructable. [editline]8th September 2016[/editline] lol just looked it up and I am wrong. You can destroy it

[QUOTE=krail9;51017993]isn't this great though? you get the precision of a mid range scope but with a clear and open view and no scope glare I use it whenever I can[/QUOTE] I've always had issues with magnified optics in Battlefield and also for whatever weird reason I can never get a read on the point of impact. I know its supposed to be at the tip of the arrow but somehow I always end up overshooting or just missing entirely. I dont have this issues with iron sights. Its just a weird personal thing with me. Even in BF3 and 4 I used pretty much nothing but the EoTech. In any case it makes me really excited for the full game to release and to be able to use the other bolt actions with iron sights.

Well I just discovered the joys of high altitude bombing. No one even realizes you're up there and you're pretty much out of range of most AAs. Went on a pretty decent streak despite my mediocre pilot skills though I did feel bad for my gunners because they were just with me doing nothing.

Let's get some thread music [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lupk2oqy4JU[/media] Nostalgia, anyone? [img]http://www.hellsangels.firstflare.com/images/promis13.jpg[/img] [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/gOLbjzT.jpg[/img_thumb] Red Baron 3D vs Battlefield 1. How far we've come. I remember playing Red Baron 3D on 56k, in 32 player Melee servers. Everyone took off from the same airfield and it was just a tornado of planes fighting above it. Surprisingly few collisions, but lots of landing gear being broken off by other people's top wing. Back then people weren't cunts on the internet yet, so there were unspoken rules of conduct. Gentlemen's agreements. No one strafed anyone on the ground. No one even shot anyone taking off until after they made a turn. Every time someone killed a person they typed in an *S* or similar, meaning 'Salute'. Hell the entire server would gang up on you if you were caught strafing someone and you would never take off again. You'd just be fodder until you left Those golden days of gaming are loooong gone, but at least it looks pretty. I'm interested in getting into some Air to Air only game modes, though I know it won't be as fun. Kind of boring when your plane is exactly the same as the other guy's, and there aren't 50 to choose from with different characteristics

Anyone have this issue with the Tank Hunter where the shell will impact and explode, but does nothing? No damage or anything. And it's not lag either, just seems like sometimes the shells just don't work.

If you look closely, you can probably see the guy who was sitting in a light tank for half of the round. [img]http://i.imgur.com/HJA0gea.png[/img]

How to nerf the light tank without buffing anything Make it a two seater :^) Realism

[QUOTE=Derp123213;51018365]How to nerf the light tank without buffing anything Make it a two seater :^) Realism[/QUOTE] IMO, a better nerf would be to make the turret turn slower. An infantryman should be able to run around you if you let him get close. This change would require tanks to stay with support infantry to be effective.

That way you can still aim precisely but can't track targets too fast.

Damn, I was hoping the beta would be open for a few more hours but it seems like I'm already locked out

[QUOTE=Mrfantasticool;51018958]Damn, I was hoping the beta would be open for a few more hours but it seems like I'm already locked out[/QUOTE] I just got home hoping I'd still manage to give it a few more rounds. Now what? Do I install Hardline while waiting for the release date?

So my overall thoughts on Beta The one map was too open and too prone to sniping but couldve been worse . Tanks are OP as hell which is kinda understandable given the time period and everything . Medics are extremly unreliable when it comes to reviving (speaking as a mostly medic myself ) the healing is still good at least . Air combat finally feels like theres less bullshit (seeing how i usually ruled the skies with the fighter ) However i feel like the bomber was a afterthought seeing how just one triplane can take out a bomber with one missle barrage ,...it was so easy i started feeling like i was bullying the people in the bombers XD
