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

Oh man, we're slowly approaching the 5000 post mark. I guess that's just in time. I should probably try to improve the OP for the next thread.

[QUOTE=Sovietzek;50318180][url]http://imgur.com/EPrveAj[/url] This may be incorrect but considering what we saw in the trailer I am inclined to believe it. Give ONE good reason why USA should be in a WW1 game instead of Russia or France. I am not trying to be condescending and I am sorry if this is how my comment was worded but I am really disappointed that this is what EA is doing, ignorance about WW1 is high as it is and this reeks of pandering to a wider market (nothing objectively wrong with that, this is just my subjective opinion).[/QUOTE] Alvin York. Besides that I can't think of any. [editline]14th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Advisor;50318644]what i mean by that is that people were saying that there will probably be lawrence of arabia themed dlc and said the same thing about the red baron skin. [URL]http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield_1:_Lawrence_of_Arabia_Pack[/URL] oh sorry, its not a dlc, its a "booster pack". and no, its not in the base game and is not available for everyone(although it is rather tiny and doesnt seem like something that would make any difference apart from aesthetics), same goes for the red baron booster pack.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Lawrence of Arabia's Black Stallion skin for Horse[/QUOTE] holy fucking shit horse skins

i admit i thought those packs contained more than just a few skins, but the point im trying to make is given the setting of the game those packs were kinda predictable and frenchies and russians are too

I started playing BF4 again a bit and I always get bored really fast and go back to blowing people up with the MAV It never gets old really [img]http://image.prntscr.com/image/7248612660af4274b3c3d6cf1ad6c5e2.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;50301066]I apparently have been earning gold battlepacks without noticing. I have 50 in battlelog that I never knew I had.[/QUOTE] I played BF4 once with gametime back when my PC couldn't handle it and went "fuck it I guess I'm not playing BF4" and didn't buy it until only a few months ago. I had to sit there for a solid minute or two opening battlepacks like holy shit

[QUOTE=bdd458;50316823]The entire channel is fantastic and I recommend it for anyone interested in learning about the war.[/QUOTE] The documentary series Apocalypse WW1 is excellent too. Here's a trailer for anyone interested : [video=youtube;52cTbhwU8NI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52cTbhwU8NI[/video] It's a bit biased sometimes but overall it's very well written and directed. [editline].[/editline] 2 months ago another series was made by the same people who directed Apocalypse WW1, this one being 2 episodes about the Battle of Verdun.

I can't wait for that anti-tank rifle action: [vid]http://i.imgur.com/UDc6fYl.webm[/vid]

[QUOTE=Dr. Haxx;50330492]I can't wait for that anti-tank rifle action: [vid]http://i.imgur.com/UDc6fYl.webm[/vid][/QUOTE] Jesus, his shoulder must have been sore afterwards. Or does the pure weight of the weapon mitigate that?

[QUOTE=Dr. Haxx;50330492]I can't wait for that anti-tank rifle action: [vid]http://i.imgur.com/UDc6fYl.webm[/vid][/QUOTE] Hopefully it's not useless like it is in Red Orchestra 2

If it can't get at least a Mobility Kill on treads or rear armor, i'll be disappointed. Slowing a tank down is more useful at least than just plinking at it.

[QUOTE=Tobin;50330743]Hopefully it's not useless like it is in Red Orchestra 2[/QUOTE] You can 1 shot any tank if you actually set it up properly just takes a bit more thought than other AT weapons.

Whiteboy7thst has been acting like he's amazing at battlefield and that the cod community will be changing the Battlefield meta next year when they all shift over to Battlefield. [url]https://twitter.com/Whiteboy7thst[/url]

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;50331048]Who is he and why should I care?[/QUOTE] A youtuber people used to care about, then his fame got to his head, if i remember correct.

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;50331064]A youtuber people used to care about, then his fame got to his head, if i remember correct.[/QUOTE] Define "people," cause i've always been deep into the gaming side of YT and i've no clue who he is.

[url]https://twitter.com/Whiteboy7thst[/url][/QUOTE] For someone who supposedly hates CoD, thinks the new CoDs are garbage (I assume from reading his video titles, fuck actually watching them)... he sure as hell has a LOT of Black Ops 3 gameplay videos. :v:

[vid]http://i.imgur.com/i0ylg5m.webm[/vid] This also happened to me once, but with an apc. I thought it was fixed with the CTE, but it looks like it's still a thing. There's a weird hitbox interaction between bf4 vehicles and tree stumps... at least that's how it happened to me: I hit the tree stump, the apc halted, barely moving, theny it catapulted the apc outside map borders. I ditched the apc but died because I was outside the map borders...

[URL]https://twitter.com/Whiteboy7thst[/URL][/QUOTE] Now, I actually took the time to look at the video. Where he mentions "changing the meta", he later adds that he's only talking about consoles. If I understand correctly, he says that Call of Duty is to console players as Counter-Strike is to PC players because that's what the "professional" players are playing on their respective platform. A really roundabout way of saying "PC players won't use our meta or tactics because mouse and keyboard is better". Basically an indirect compliment to PC players I guess. For some reason, he seems to be using prerelease footage of the game. Watching further, he doesn't seem to really take himself too seriously. He ends by saying that he likes Battlefield because you have more possibilities and you can get creative, unlike Call of Duty. So all in all, kind of just a clickbait title but the guy seems okay. He's not really interesting to watch though, extremely average. I don't really get why he has 2 million subs.

[QUOTE=Megadave;50331121]I remember Gulf of Oman doing this all the time.[/QUOTE] In BF3 you could do it off the water by C4ing a vehicle into the ocean and it'd ricochet it skywards, dunno if it still does in BF4.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;50331183]In BF3 you could do it off the water by C4ing a vehicle into the ocean and it'd ricochet it skywards, dunno if it still does in BF4.[/QUOTE] It does. You don't even need to go that fast, I've been bounced back plenty of times just diving into the water in an IFV.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;50331072]Define "people," cause i've always been deep into the gaming side of YT and i've no clue who he is.[/QUOTE] Cod people usually. But some others too. He used to be pretty big, but last time i heard his popularity fell like a rock when fame begun to get to his heat. If i remember right.

[QUOTE=spekter;50330797]You can 1 shot any tank if you actually set it up properly just takes a bit more thought than other AT weapons.[/QUOTE] But it's SO much easier to just run up next to the tank and throw an AT grenade at it

I kinda hope they don't patch that bug. It's the fastest way I've seen anyone reach objective G in an APC before.
