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

2016: The year all the tryhards came out of the woodwork to post their BF4 montage. On a serious note, I liked the music. You had a couple of pretty sick tank shots too. You definitely have nicer production values than I do. I need to work on that. I think that you should give the canister shot a try, it great at shredding air targets at close-medium range.

I actually purposely clocked back on the production, because I tend to "over-edit" stuff. I like this simplicity. And thanks :') Means a lot. I'll try canister. I just think the explosion and satisfaction of the AP shell is unrivaled xD

Well, you can have both. The canister shell is a secondary.

been playing some littlebird lately, shame it can't get rocket pods anymore, makes it feel pretty useless, although I haven't unlocked the AT missiles yet the 25mm does pretty good damage to vehicles, but it's pretty garbage against air and infantry sooo

Back to say that the burst fire on the AN-94 is like my favorite thing ever now. Wow this thing absolutely rocks. All I need now is to just unlock that pesky Chinese RDS and I'll be a god in infantry combat. By the way fantastic videos up above guys!

Anyone here uses specific loadout that is from a country? I use similar to the JSDF, Japanese Self defense forces here. H&K MP7, M4 carbine, And M67 hand grenade.

Other than that I don't really think about it at all.

I can't play effectively with anything other than AK 5C.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;49543346]I can't play effectively with anything other than AK 5C.[/QUOTE] Try SAR-21. It's great weapon but low rate of fire.

I am a sucker for wood furniture, so I tend to run classic rpk with muzzle break, iron sights, stubby grip, laser and basic camo. It is really nice, I love the simplicity of it and I found out without all the customization shoved in your face you can focus on the core gameplay and it is great. Really takes me back and the sound of it firing is so god damn satisfying whether you're going fully auto or using the single fire to do some longer range precision.

Sooo I'm thinking about getting Battlefield 4 to play with on my new computer. Anything I should know? What are battlepacks and gold packs? Do I need to get the Premium? I have the money to spare for it.

[QUOTE=booster;49546695]Premium is pretty much a must.[/QUOTE] Anything I should know before going in?

Shoot at people without blue or green things above their heads.

Don't use defensive perk It's objectively cancer and completely invalidates 2 playstyles and 1 ammo type

[QUOTE=Derp123213;49546923]Don't use defensive perk It's objectively cancer and completely invalidates 2 playstyles and 1 ammo type[/QUOTE] how? I use it all the time lol

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;49546760]Anything I should know before going in?[/QUOTE] After getting Premium, look into completing the Phantom Assignments. It helps you get used to other weapons and playstyles. Hardcore mode is my favourite mode because I feel normal is too bullet-spongey. But at the same time, Sniper rifles become 1-shot kills even on your foot (I believe Hardcore should have zone-specific damage multipliers aside from just the head)

[QUOTE=krail9;49547036]how? I use it all the time lol[/QUOTE] It completely kills off the Bow in CQC and also makes slugs with pump actions nearly-obsolete. Not to mention that it also makes snipers not one-shot in closer ranges, which makes aggro Recon harder than it already is. The worst part about this is that it's also the default perk for everybody, so you could literally have entire teams of average/low-level players using the perk without even realizing it.

[QUOTE=Derp123213;49547272]Not to mention that it also makes snipers not one-shot in closer ranges, which makes aggro Recon harder than it already is.[/QUOTE] Or you could just not use a sniper rifle? A well played recon not played like a useless sniper can be a game winning force multiplier with the spawn beacons and various motion sensor gadgets. I love playing Recon with a carbine or shotgun on objective based game modes. Recon is fine if you want to play it aggressively, just use a weapon that's designed to be used aggressively. To be honest, I'm one of those people that would lose no sleep if sniper rifles were completely removed from the next game. All they do is encourage retards to camp on roofs and lose games for their team while being nothing more than a nuisance to the enemy team. Recon is a very useful and powerful class, but the sniper rifle nullifies almost all of that utility because of the type of player it attracts, and the playstyle it encourages. None of that mini-rant has anything to do with defensive perk though, and everything to do with how much I hate snipers and what they do to the game. Just flat out boosting HP/defense is the dumbest and laziest way to handle a "perk" and only creates a situation where everybody runs it, therefore cancelling out it being a perk at all, and just making other perks a general disadvantage.

If they got rid of bolt actions and just gave Recon DMRs to maintain them having the long range aspect, I'd be fine with with. I mean, it makes more sense for Recon to be like a Designated Marksman if you think of the four classes together being a fireteam where Assault is a Rifleman, Engi is an Anti-Armour Specialist, Support is an Automatic Rifleman and Recon is a Designated Marksman

[QUOTE=krail9;49548014]so it stops me getting one shot by a bunch of bullshit? nice[/QUOTE] It also makes a dozen weapons nigh-useless in normal mode. That's a lot of assets wasted. People that are good at the game will wreck you regardless.

Anybody knows a good pirate song or sea shanty that wouldn't get copyrighted on youtube? It's for a montage. I've got like 20 boat airshots left and I need to get rid of them.

[editline]17th January 2016[/editline] nvm I reinstalled windows and lost it. Damnit

You could always try to use a data recovery utility, if that even exists.

If that was at least a week ago, it's pretty much irrecoverable. Anyway, what about "What do you do with a drunken sailor"? [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyPuey-1Jw[/media]
