Battlefield Franchise Megathread V1 - 'Hardline is still DLC' Edition - Games

And i got all the FS Dogtags now, activated the last Phantom assignment, just a matter of time till i get 200 Bow kills and 50 Headshots. good luck me.

After some testing it seems that the AA mines do have a ridiculously short range but they lock on instantly. So I guess it's okay for ambushing.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;50187361]After some testing it seems that the AA mines do have a ridiculously short range but they lock on instantly. So I guess it's okay for ambushing.[/QUOTE] Very much so. It is the ultimate way to catch pilots off guard. Instant mobility hit, makes them easy as sin to hit with an RPG. What's better, that combo will kill even a transport heli. Likewise, put one of those in a high up position and make a friendly jet buddy lead an enemy pilot through its range, and blam. Likewise it fucks up any strafe running choppers.

Can i join FPNA if i'm on PS4?

I don't see why not. It's not like we have strict membership requirements. Heck, you don't even need to use Facepunch to get into FPNA.

Are there even any other PS4 players here :v:

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;50192160]Are there even any other PS4 players here :v:[/QUOTE] A handful. You'd have to check with each individual member and see what soldiers they have.

I thought air combat in both games were garbage. I'm biased tho by being a good shooter who actually plays the objective so maybe I'm not the target audience for jets.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50193104]I think the best way to use jets is to quickly get over a flag and bail out over it then telling your squad to spawn on you.[/QUOTE] Don't do that. Ever. Jets are valuable as fuck, especially when there's a good pilot on the team.

In which case they should have no problem getting into a jet and staying there. The vast majority of the time its players on my team getting distracted with dogfighting while the people playing Battlefield are trying to capture flags and fight tanks and shit. I'm pretty much going to keep doing that, and the grief of pubstar pilots who can't hack doing anything else in the game makes it only that much more satisfying.

[B]The vast majority of the time its players on my team getting distracted with dogfighting while the people playing Battlefield are trying to capture flags and fight tanks and shit[/B].[/QUOTE] I already wrote about this on the other thread, but that's a narrow perspective of the situation. [QUOTE=Why485;50193322]When there's a competent pilot on the enemy team, you don't really have a choice but to make sure to engage and kill him ASAP. If you break from the fight for a second, you are giving your opponent a shot and putting yourself in an extremely bad position if he doesn't kill you in one burst. You will almost always get shot down. The ideal situation is that you happen to catch the enemy jet off guard while he's mid strafe or something, take him down with a burst, and avoid a dogfight altogether. Sometimes a dogfight is just going to happen though, and the best you can do is try to end it as fast as possible. If there's a big difference in skill, this is pretty much a non-issue and one fighter will ensure air superiority for their team. The problem is that when there's two good pilots on opposing teams, what's going to happen is they're going to spend all game dogfighting each other because to stop dogfighting would mean losing your team's jet and giving the opposing jet free reign over killing your team's vehicles. That's much worse than the alternative of both jets just not affecting the ground war at all. It's the lesser of two evils.[/QUOTE] I have a crap ton to say on jets and how they work in Battlefield. I'm not really happy with this prisoner's dilemma situation either, but I also don't have a good solution for fixing it without major and unrealistic changes to the game. It's a natural consequence when you only get 2 jets per team at most. The majority of the time it's 1v1 which just doesn't make for interesting dynamics, and for the guys on the ground it just means that both jets sort of cancel each other out and nobody gets air support. Believe me, I would love to spend all my time in a jet just busting tanks and strafing dudes, but as long as there's another jet in the air that's just not something you can realistically do.

Guys i swear i'm not crazy, but an enemy transport chopper just flew around blasting ride of the valkyries on operation outbreak

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;50193925]Guys i swear i'm not crazy, but an enemy transport chopper just flew around blasting ride of the valkyries on operation outbreak[/QUOTE] yes, that behavior is intended. [video=youtube;1YzhNypvH9g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YzhNypvH9g[/video]

Holy fucking shit, that's awesome.

oh god, EVERY TIME I fly a chopper on that map, I make extra sure to annoy my friend by humming the song. Either that, or having Fortunate Son play in the background Now I guess I won't have to do that anymore!

Something i can definitely give BF props for is always having creative and fun easter eggs.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;50200500]Something i can definitely give BF props for is always having creative and fun easter eggs.[/QUOTE] Yeah the whole Phantom Program thing was pretty cool, the build up was huge. The DICE LA Camo thing is pretty tedious but its a pretty cool reward.

Too bad the bow is pretty meh. If it was a one hit kill on chest or above it'd be a lot better. Unless i'm just terrible with it.

So many people have serious weapons in their most used weapons. And then there's my BF [img]http://i.imgur.com/WOYXFW4.png[/img]

[t]http://i.imgur.com/gJjsQKP.png[/t] I had thought my quit rate would be higher. Recently I've had less patience in the game (or in any game) and would quit before things would get ugly.

I just wish it wouldn't count against your win/liss when you join a game on the losing team and almost immediately lose.
