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

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;47365485]Is BF4's SP any good? Still haven't played it[/QUOTE] From what I understand, it's more the same as Battlefield 3 except you can tell your squad to target enemies via Spotting them. Although there's collectibles and weapons you can get, alongside scoring, it simply pretends to have large, open areas but is still generally the linear, on-rails cinematic experience you'd expect. It's also apparently not even a good story or anything.

I still enjoy the overly cinematic nonsense though - it's what I loved about CoD. If I want something more realistic I'll go play Arma.

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;47359956]installing to my xbox now, fuck me I have like 10 games and I'm already out of hdd space on this thing.[/QUOTE] Sucks that even if you have the disc it still installs a good amount onto the console.

300 ticket advantage over the other team. We somehow manage to lose. Fucking. How. Teammates allergic to flags and vehicles apparently. This is why I hate conquest large when I solo.

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;47365485]Is BF4's SP any good? Still haven't played it[/QUOTE] related, can you change fov in singleplayer yet? i remember i couldn't back when the game released and i couldn't play SP because it made me feel sick

I think blood money is my favorite game mode

[QUOTE=Crpto2007;47368081]I think blood money is my favorite game mode[/QUOTE] Hotwire is my favorite so far. Really fun to have an assload of cars flying around at all times.

just walking in front of a car coming bombing towards you with a grenade launcher out and blowing it up never gets old in hotwire, so fucking fun

Thankfully Hardline uses the same Platoons as BF4 so that takes care of that.

I've played 50 players Crosshair and I'm surprised it wasn't even a clusterfuck.

Don't have the game but I am curious about unlock mechanics, like on my battle log feed I see people have purchased weapons?

[QUOTE=Skwee;47370030]Don't have the game but I am curious about unlock mechanics, like on my battle log feed I see people have purchased weapons?[/QUOTE] You can straight buy weapons when you get enough money. Some are locked behind assignments but overall it's a much more horizontal progression loop that also lets you unlock stuff you want as soon as you want it.

Tons of people are starting to notice my Stormwolf chapter logo from Warhammer :v: Where did all these Warhammer 40k fans come from?

Guys I've been collecting assignment medals and I have a question 'cause this is annoying me. I wanted to get the Open Fire assignment (China Rising, Defib Kill, 30mm Grenade kill, pistol kill all in 1 round). I got this medal on Métro 3000tickets, so that I would have enough time to do it. I got the medal then left the game, as it were only down to 2800 tickets, and fuck that on a 5v5 Metro game. Only the medal hasn't registered on Battlelog. What? BF4 Btw

OR just wait, 3000 tickets isnt that fast on Metro, wait until the match ends and all the battlereports get sent

Yeah, this game feels so much like Bad Company 2. I hope they decide to add commonly bought/used guns in the United States in some DLC. Would be nice to have a Mosin Nagant, K98, and M1 Garand!

Can I play something else and then after that round ends get my log?

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;47370450]But this is 5v5 it's taking forever.

Advancedlumb is quite literally allergic to teamwork. Every time I mention how we could cooperate together I think he breaks out in hives. :v:

I haven't played battlefield in forever I'm so bad right now at it. Every god damn map is at night time. Blood money is crazy fun though. Heist is totally one sided. Conquest is as good as always (64 players on consoles is awesome to have). I haven't played the other game modes yet but I will tonight after work. Also do more guns get added with DLC in battlefield? Because I remember BC2 having a shit load of weapons in the base game.

I think Hardline will have weapons that come with the DLC packs.

Just had an amazing string of games with the same squad, ending in a match where I just tracker darted as many vehicles as possible for my squadmates to RPG. One of them ended the game going 21-2. I love the dart gun, wish there was a sniper variant :v:

anyone got this on xbox one and resides in australia/nz? I'm having fun but I'd have more fun playing with people.

I absolutely hate this. Trying to get the assignment where I need 1 Air superiority ribbon and 3 jet fighter ribbons. Every server I join has this fucking ace on like 48-1 where I can't even bloody move. Fuck off. [editline]22nd March 2015[/editline] Just got banned from a server for saying allahu ackbar :v: That c4 jeep trick is hilarious every time

Hotwire is fun too I haven't played any of the smaller game modes yet

Question: If I buy like a gunner upgrade for helicopters, will they only apply if I'm piloting the heli or will i benefit from them in the gunner position?

[QUOTE=Marzipas;47374639]Question: If I buy like a gunner upgrade for helicopters, will they only apply if I'm piloting the heli or will i benefit from them in the gunner position?[/QUOTE] In the beta it only applied if you were the one in the gunner seat. I often had to fight with my team to insure my friend got gunner seat with the minigun.

I bought Hardline a few hours from release and I was pre-emptively massively regretting it. After all the beta was a shitshow and initial impressions made it seem quite lazy so my expectations were in the red. Buuut I've been really [I]really[/I] surprised by it. The campaign was fun and actually had likeable characters for the first time since Bad Company and the multiplayer seems pretty tight. It's probably the first BF game where I haven't had any problems with hit detection. [editline]22nd March 2015[/editline] Also, do you think they'll make weapons from the precision and suppression packs available to everyone else eventually? That (along with the extortionate pricing) is my only real beef with Hardline at the moment. Locking away gameplay affecting things to pre-orders and special editions irks me a lot.

I must say, this is the first Battlefield where I've really, really enjoyed playing as a sniper Being able to meaningfully engage vehicles thanks to magnum ammo and trip mines is just generally fantastic Plus the gunplay feels less clunky to me for some reason, so my strategy of using an ACOG at highest and run-and-gunning with it feels pretty great I must say though, 1250 kills with a gun to use it on the other team is waaay too much
