They can easily forget BF1. It'll just end up like Hardline.
At best, Hardline just has a few thousand players on PS4.
Hardline was a spinoff so doesn't really matter 
now what else there's left is incursions
sigh
BF1 needs the same kind of love as BF4 right now.
But DICE can't/won't do it.
but doesnt have what BF4 has π
Won't because DICE is lazy about working on stuff for this game, as evidenced by Apocalypse, which just came out so that it could be released and be done with.
Can't because EA shareholders consider BF1 a flop, so they don't wanna spend money on reviving it, instead wanting to push forward for BF 2018.
Also, DICE, can you guys work on this problem I have on PS4?
When we're voting on maps, the options are sunk below the screen.
I can't see the names of the maps, only the images.
I feel like they'll do some minor fixes and stuff like that, but after this no major changes as they shift to BFV
no reason to fix a ded game
dead game huh?
just did the operations campaign for the last time and i dont have shit to show for it except a fuckton of scraps
why did it take me literal months to destroy 2 airplanes with lmgs, and I start up a new account and get both in the same day using the lMG and the BAR
The bar has to much recoil to be useful
I hope for a class rework in the next title.. it's a bit odd to me that medics were medium range instead of close quarters... I also found it odd how assault were the antivehicle class... plus vehicles are way too dominant in BF1
bar doesn't even have recoil 
@tidal finch Also the fact that scout class is a complete nobrainer bothers me in bf1.
we need some actual weapon sway and no sweetspot on rifles
That'll prevent mediocre players from shitting on overall better players
which is how it should be. guns should reward skill.
The mg 08 out classes bar now bar has too much recoil for its magazine size
Hey guys I've played a bunch of vanilla bf1 and love it, however I just picked up bf4 and donlt like the urban maps, could you give some suggestions for maps resembling the ones in bf1?
i have bf4 premium
@unborn timber I haven't played bf1 a lot but having played bf4 a lot I'd recommend locker and metro

But seriously
If you want real suggestion tell me what do you like
And there aren't many servers that have all the maps anyway
Most are are conquest vanilla
You'll mostly find other maps in mixed mode servers and rush servers
For example ARP platoon has all maps rush server
How come the automatics wasnβt buffed to a 2 shot kill?
vote to kick on behemoth drivers would be awesome.
Or just a better Air Assault than "have some planes guise"
I haven't got into BF1 yet (played it only like twice at my brother's) so what's this talk about BF1 being "dead/flop/forgotten" etc? BF4 is 5 years old and people still play it and it was still getting some minor content etc not too long back so why is BF1 any different? I thought BF1 was and is pretty good and unique and it sure as hell looks quite alright to me as someone who has not played it intensively
BF1 is far from being dead/a flop/forgotten
People have said that BF1 is dead ever since the begining of 2017
I think it's mainly due to the weird DLC schedule and little content it has come with
Hmm, so it's more of propaganda than something factual? I know Hardline really was a flop but I've been surprised to hear someone saying every now and then that BF1 is since I always thought it was pretty damn succesful overall
Compared to Hardline BF1 is doing just fine
Bf1 is gae
Bf3/4 is bae

No argument here cause it's the truth
If you have any point, shove it up your ass
BF3 was love and life, BC2 even more so, BF4 is still dandy and sassy but I have been considering upgrading my gpu and getting some newer games at some point so I am wondering if BF1 is worth it to purchase at this point being 1.5 years old and with a new title upcoming (this year?)
Personally
Imo
I'd rather wait for the upcoming BF game
Because the bf1 community gonna get seriously segregated when it releases
Those who love it will leave bf1
Those who don't want to buy another ww title will keep playing bf1
Just wait and see if it's any better than bf1
Yeah that's an option considering there are so many games from past say, 3 years or so I haven't been able to play since my PC can't handle them and also because I still very much enjoy BF4 (except for how hard it is to find good games and well populated lobbies)
If I can snatch bf1 for very cheap at some point I might still get it though, I mean say 20 bucks or so wouldn't be drastic even if the game went "outdated" in 6 months
@storm spruce there are prime hours when you'll find lots of filled lobbies
I play in wbks and ARP platoon servers
Those are filled mostly all time
The thing is I hate only vanilla
Mixed mode is so fun
Dumbass kids don't want to play anything other than metro/locker nade fest
Yeah me too I love to play the xpac maps aswell (don't have dragons teeth though since I was MIA when it was available for free)
Maybe cause it's fun?
Maybe
I mean spamming lvg is a lot of fun
Rushing in with lvg, shoots and kills one guy, dies, repeats
Very fun
If people could show a bit more tact and maturity
Games would be even more fun
My one tip for playing battle field is so stupid stuff it always works
Most fun for me is when the rounds are not too long (30 - 45min per round is OK) and lots of variety in maps, teams very balanced so games are tight and close asf all the time
Happens very rarely but when you get that thing going the game is super exciting
I just enjoy doing the stupid stuff and goofing off
They never see it comming
*coming
Goofing is fun to watch when other people do it π I like compilations like Russkhof etc who do some crazy inventive stuff
Gamesprout has some good BF1 videos for that stuff
I fight tanks at close range.
I simply run up to a fully crewed A7V with an AT mine.
A lot of people went into bf1 expecting Trench warfare, what they got was Sniper warfare.
I guess if anything atleast the vehicles are not so blatantly overpowered in BF1 as they are in bf4 etc? (thermal optics / jets / attack helis and such)
I mean against infantry obviously
@frozen spade apparently wbks uses that shitty script on their servers too which lies about true player count. I just joined one of their 24/7 locker servers which had "39/64 players". In reality there was 14 players there..... -1
Xbox one mic squad anyone?
Bf1 is dead hereβs why
Battlefield 4 anyone PC ?
Man I wish BF3 and/or BC2 was still hugely popular and active, those games were so fucking amazing it's beoynd belief and even if BF4 is good I still think BC2>BF3>BF4 hands down and I've never had as much fun playing an FPS as I had in BC2 !!!! Nostalgia vibes looking at old videos from that nugget of gold
People still play all those π
BC2 was my favorite too
But like, are you stuck with playing on the same 3-5 servers 24/7 and have to deal with almost dead lobbies at non-peak times? ;| Kinda kills the buzz for me if it's a struggle trying to find casual games
BF4 already feels like that so I can imagine games like BC2 definately has that
I've seen people still playing BF3, and definitely BF4
Yeah BF4 still has quite a few players, too bad the most populated lobbies usually end up being the "locker 247 3000 tickets" or "golmud" or "locker" versions like that
Yeah, I've seen those
I played a server like that on Xbox with that many tickets, it was like 10 v 10 and took at least two hours to finish π
No wonder x) So exhausting
We spawn trapped them on locker, and they just kept sitting back instead of trying to kill us 
Yeah you can get people really literally spawn fucked in locker and it's pretty much game over after that
Didn't even try to flank around or anything at least
So it took forever for the match to finish
Yeah
But, it is pretty simple to spawn trap people if you have a good team, doesn't help that Locker is a linear map
Suez is the same way, but at least it's somewhat easier to flank if need be
They were going to add a couple more flags to Suez, but I guess it didn't happen. It was on the CTE for a bit.
So it's not linear
It's too bad those changes didn't make it into the retail version 
Linear maps can be fun sometimes but often I don't like to play them for prolonged durations (like 2000+ tickets), gets veeeeeeery repetitive for my taste
Yeah, especially if you're the team getting spawn trapped, then it gets annoying after a few minutes if no progression is being made
Yeah that aswell
It just showed a bunch of patches for the highlights.
Hmm, that's odd. It should still still show pfp's or emblems
Hmm, not sure
Fresh memes on r/Battlefield, what do they mean?
Is the next BF really named Battlefield V?
Nope
nah, it's probably gonna be some dumb stuff like BF:1944 or BF:1940 (or BF:0 for short)
BF:0, because 0 can stand for many things: 1940, going back to the start (ala 1942), etc.
@urban nest also Warframe 
I'm not sorry
also I've fallen in love with the 14/17
nothing else satisfies me anymore
The MG15 comes close but jesus there's nothing like hipfiring that 14/17 down a hallway in Vaux
Yep, and plan on more.
does anyone still play BF4 ?
and wouldn't mind playing with a relatively new player (level 13)
One of my friends does, and plenty of people still do.
yeah but a lot of the EU guys dont speak english :/
Ah, I see.
so I'm looking for a squad to play BF4 with , my friends dont exactly play BF games let alone BF4
they've joined the PUBG bandwagon
RIP. I'll reinstall BF4 here in a bit.
sure
Installing now, gimme like 20-30 mins for base game
I assume you have DLC, or no?
tfw only 22 MB/s
aight, less stuff I have to install then
I'm broke :/
s'fine man
it'll probably go on sale again anyways
so
Almost 1/3 done @visual nimbus
@visual nimbus Finished installing.
@visual nimbus You're wrong on that one, lad
any one up for some bf4 i'm in EU
@iron flint wut happened to your green color
Regular role was removed

did they nerf standard battlepacks? guaranteed special
opened 8 and only special skins
Does there happen to be list of what is being said by the soldiers in-game, maybe even with their translation?
Yes
@solid hinge Wait what are you asking?
@deft flame Soldiers shout stuff every now and then, when they need a medic for example. That kind of stuff.
@frozen spade Ok
oh
- Artillerie, in Deckung! = Artillery, take cover!
- Das ist ein Gerry, von oben! = Itβs an enemy, from above!
- Pass auf Mann, ganz vorsichtig jetzt! = Watch out Man, very careful now!
βAchtung!β Or βschnell!β Which are Attention and Faster
They all are along the lines of what the other soldiers say
@deft flame Aight, thanks!
You can find the rest of the dialogues from hentai Haven
They mostly go like this
"Oh yeaaa Daddy"
"Oni Chan yamete na kudasai"
"harder harder"
Get help

Will bf 2018 be called bf2
maaan these service assignment achievements are mental
since France DLC I've been going for these crazy assignments, but after Russia I've been chilling out with those... just playing the way I wanted to to ensure I still have fun
Why tf does the game keep putting me in empty operations
If they're empty, just dont put me in it
why would they call it BF2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2


BF2 π
Bf2 was a flop
yep
for those that didn't know π
Why would they not go with WW2
even if bf1 didn't have the staying power of bf4 (because of people's obsession with modern weaponry IMO) I bet it sold more
create a great WW2 game and then they can go wherever they want after that, but quite a few people would love a vietnam, or 2142
new weapon variants on cte 
@glossy locust I don't like a fucking old weapon whose weight would almost equivalent of my arm, not predictable, not adaptable and most of all shit looking
I prefer modern weapons
Bf4 modern weapons were unconventional prototypes
and two that are recent with great graphics
Bf3 had modern weapons and none of that fake bs like in bf4
most of bf4's weapons are real sorry to tell you
yes in the later DLC there were some prototypes
Bf3 is a more serious game , BF 4 a not arcade fast paced shooter
@glossy locust gadgets only 2-3 were real
but yet BF3 had a meta where the m16 was literally the superior choice in every situation
not really a balanced game if you look back on it
bf4 yeah i know BF1 is the most balanced of the 3
Metro with every person spamming lvg and nades as hard as they can

It felt as if I was playing during an earthquake
Three screen shaking was present almost entire games
Unless you would go to a non explosive server
You'd only be nade spamming on the exp servers

metro is a bad map in general
locker was a bit better but what does this have to do with WW2 being awesome
the COD last year was such a shit version
I mean it's a really fun time period and hasn't been done right since the original call of duty's
I only ever played mw3
well logically, considering how well bf1 sold they would be silly to not double down with WW2
I would be surprised
bf1 sold 50% more copies than bf4 i just looked it up
that's huge
Battlefield Korean War @ when?
When Kim and Trump finalize nuclear peace deal @steep spruce
The marketing for BF1 was pretty high profile aswell though so I guess they managed to built very good hype around the product before release. I mean you cannot NOT dig watching snoop pumping a blunt shooting at the walls on the wrong side of the map and shit :D'
Didn't hear so much about BF4 before release and I guess GTAV also hurt the sales pretty bad since they released almost at the same time. I remember trying out BF4 in an EA room at a convention beforehand, that was pretty dope tho, playing Zavod against like 40 other people in LAN in the same room
Also, Ribeyerolles Optical! π
i hope bfww2 doesnt follow the cycle, i mean from what we've seen,
bf3 = amazing game, had long dev cycle
bf4 = rushed copy pasta to build on that successs, ended up being a mess at launch
bf1 = amazing game that had longer dev cycle than bf4
bfww2 = ??
would you rather see bfww2 or bfbc3
ww2
we've had too many modern games
not just in bf but in general
a revisit to ww2 will do no harm
Triple A game btw π€
dat balance tho
the old razzle dazzle
I thought that was addressed already π
just had someone tell me that a single AA turret was supposed to be able to clean out all the skies at the rate they do
jesus
like yeah lets put planes in, but lets not because AA turrets lol
its like after BF4s tank spam DICE just got scared of vehicles in general
@frigid ether Welcome here π
@simple meadow Thank You! π
Np mate π
Hi Soldier π
@still gust Hi Welcome I go to bed sorry
No Problem. Sleep well - we play tomorrow π
Well, atleast the AA stationary
The others seem to be fine. You cant really solo a tank or plane with any soldier items, nor can a field gun solo a tank
anybody know if the operations battlepack has all the same shit in it
we should get a bunch of people on the CTE
Do Shortcut Kits unlock specializations?
Levelling up is a looooot slower than it used to be. Is it cause higher levels require more XP or did levelling up get nerfed by DICE?
I'm lvl 88 atm
& I feel like I'll never reach 3 digits 
Level 99 to 100 is the biggest level gap in the game
Level 100-140 requires only 50k xp to get to the next level. Dw mate you'll get there. Just keep trying

Is there XP boost in bf1 ??
there are squad xp boosts yes
I'll make a M1903 Experimental appreciation thread on the subreddit
I neeeeed it
Why would a Ribeyrolles Optical be necessary on top of the one we already have?
Less spread when ads
Also lack of bipod hopefully.
There I posted my M1903 appreciation thread.
500K @versed notch

I stand corrected 
God damn why are so many bf4 maps so utterly shit level design
1 dimensional asf like... "Ok this is a map where you either play vehicle or long range sniper, else you just get farmed" .. "Ok this is a map where you either camp bottleneck or do nothing" etc..
lots of people prefer optical > iron sights
totally depends, some sights are good
others are just YOU WHAT (Howell Factory default for example)
now all we need is a Mosin-Nagant sniper variant :^)
howell has decent sights, what are you on about
Bruh, the Howell sights are arse
^
I agree a little bit on that, but I still like the weapon overall.
Someone gonna explain why incursions is 20gb+?
K then


i need someone to play with me co op mission
DROP ΚΉEM LIKE LIQUID
my nickname is
[JLB]
THCmarkusTHC
so add me to friend if you wanna play BF3
@solid hinge Ribeye Optical will still have a bipod.
Also, the Howell sights are nice.
How fucking dare you?
Default Howell sights are dope.
How fucking dare you?
That 'wat' factor is what makes them amazing.
I just dislike them
it just feels like the sights themselves are obstructing
''whats that? you wanna shoot someone? here lemme put a cube infront of you g''
btw why doesn't the Howell sniper have the same sound as factory? :^(
Why do I suddenly turn into a god whenever I use the Auto 8?
Like, holy shit, my KD fucking jumps.
What is the skill stat for? 
How to shoot
hold trigger, gun go pew pew pew
Heyo that new Ross MKIII infantry variant's aim is easy, it's the center of the pin, think of it as a half built crosshair
How does the sight picture of the new Ross variant llok like?
haven't downloaded the CTE
That's gonna take some getting used to lol
it's the easiest ironsight to use
@zealous void do you drink vodka
Ok
we only have root beer
Eww
No u
No u
Those of you who have tried the new variants in hte CTE, any favorites so far?
yep, as usual
25 seems too low, buf it up to 35 at least
yup, just like model 10
I think that one has 45 minimum 
I wonder if/when the new variants get added in if they'll have weapon assignments
It's be a new cool thing to do
But something tells me they won't do that

Thanks @shut walrus it work π
Soonβ’
give it some time π

BF 2018 in the Cold War 

Cold War fuck yes
Mother Russia


My grandpa came back from Stalin front
Cool
He dieded meanwhile. Unfortunately he was not good with kids. So I never had the chance to listen to some storys
π¦
Bet he didn't have any pretty stories
wasn't exactly heaven on earth on the eastern front
Are they adding v2 rockets to bf ww2

@lofty valley yes

BF1 has rly bad netcode issues if you're on wireless internet... Other games don't give that many rubberband and hitreg problems but for some reason BF1 requires absolutely 0 packet loss and cable internet to work smoothly
like I get a bit of packet loss on my wireless internet and in some games I have to stop, cause barely a third of my shots would even register at all, so I get nothing done
idk why BF1's netcode has so much more of a bullwhip effect to a bit of network stuttering compared to other FPS games
is it the same on other Battlefield titles?
havent noticed any
@shut walrus I don't know tbf, but I've seen a video on rubberbanding issues in BF3 and I thought OMG that's EXACTLY what I get the whole time when playing BF1
and it's frustrating as hell, because I know I'm good at this game, but I'd be down the leaderboard with something like 5/20 kd on top of it, simply cause the whole frikken thing malfunctions on me cause I have wireless internet
on my client it looks like I'd get oneshot by lmg's after I empty my magazine in the dudes face
that sort of thing
yesterday I had a smooth day for about 30 minutes... I was playing Nivelle and I was flicking onto people's heads left and right with my G98 killing them all over the place and I remember thinking YES. THIS IS WHAT BF1 IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
I noticed today when a round ends and you freeze in place as the camera zooms out on your character, I ended a round of Fort De Vaux and when the round ended, the zooming-out camera literally teleported me to the other side of the room from which I entered it and it made me think... ah... so that's where the server thinks I am huh....
(20-50 ping range usually btw)
BF1 had at launch the best netcode of any of the recent BF titles. Then something happened along the way
But also, playing on wi-fi is a bad idea - more so in a FPS game.
Wait, you're on wifi now?
yeah I've been on it for like 4 years 
I mean at least here in Finland it's not that bad
I feel bad for you, holy shit I would never want to play on wifi, I'd rage all the time
:DD
about 3 more weeks
then I'll have free 50/50 cable
but prolly upgrading to 100/100
I mean my wifi is good now, but I don't really like wifi. I like my cables, even if they're often in the way lol
Oh that's pretty good
50/50 is more than enough when gaming, but might want to upgrade if you're going to to background stuff
yep
Do you needthe fast upload speed or are you unable to choose a lower one?
I mean it just comes free
I meant the 100/100
ah that just gets matched with the download I guess
yep
Is bf ww3 officially confirmed?
Lol @still gust welcome on BFD. π
Bf1 Xbox with mic. Any takers?
Playing on wifi in 2018
How much of a dirty pleb can someone be
I mean I live in a third world country yet even I play on wired connection
i have xfinity and i dont notice a difference on wifi vs wired

wish I had battlefield memes

what do you guys think the best place/site/app is to find other old fart BF1 players ?
ur moms a fucking dirty pleb
the wifi is fine because its not in the third world, ive never had problems killing fuckloads of people on my connection
.>
uwu
<.<
:3

How the fuck...
Like... Wat?
WHY DOES THE AUTO 8 DUNK ON MATICOS?
At close range!
who is the sender?
got the same email
its sender is a legit mail from EA
same mail I get my 2FA codes from
I think so
Dont
Seems fake
They need your help in updatung the game
So they want you to verify
Defo fake
Contact EA support
Instead
oh I heard about this
a couple of days ago from reddit
it's legit
afaik
they're making sure it's you with the email or something
Hello guys, this mail click on e-mail with right mouse. See e-mail where from? Not open with left mouse. Hackers stealing you origin pasword and ip adress. please be careful. Greeting Soldier365nl
like I said the sender is the same EA mail as the EA mails I get from my 2FA for origin
Anyone know if they have thought about making a more generic channel for those of us looking to meet specific kind of players ?
@digital musk what you mean by specific kind
Like for a bunch of degenerates to play together ?
You say generic channel, then in the same you also say specific

Like, other older players like me who would be interested in taking an old crazy cat lady under their wing to help me git gud so my bratty kid can die to me many times π
See... general but specific at the same time
But i guess currently the PC, console channels are your best bet
More like a tutoring group for overall game playing and not just video analysis
I think my whole old fart age requirement may be adversely affecting it. Because most people are like damn you're old
PC BF1

And #2, I need to not have an annoying squeaker trying to help me
Hmm
So it's like, better for both sides
Time for a change !!
I only play 3/4
God, I am not gonna lie... WWI is not my thing. I dislike trenches
I am gonna buy the upcoming BF though
I think it's WW too
@digital musk if you don't like WW stuff you can try BF 3/4
They still get a lot of players in PC
I can't... Only reason i am playing BF at all is cause of my kid and he only plays BF1
Thanks for all your suggestions tho
I have a brother (elder) we both play bf3/4
So I understand the family competition

I have a theory...
Well then sorry for being of no help, I have some college work.
See ya later
My son has said that "OW is gay" and refuses to play
π
And I think it's because I am better than him... but in BF1, I suck and he runs the show
is the new sniper op? just because its silenced
I was thinking about a way to indirectly nerf it by decreasing the max total ammo for the gun specifically.
Enjoy the saint pattys day
Rip liver 
Rip
F

Also @digital musk I think because OW is a very tactical, ability based game that relies heavily on team coordination he may not like it
In BF, let's just say team cooperation is a non existent thing
And a game of warfare shouldn't be even more So? In the few games I have played, I am dying at the utter lack of teamwork
I mean in BF if you have good positioning, all you need to do is there a smoke go rush the enemies and you can easily take out a squad
My son has never raged more in any game than he has in BF1... almost to the point where he worries me π
Lol
I allow him to speak freely, and if I were to record his rantings, it's equivalent to the kids having their parents take their game systems... minus destruction of property because he knows I would destroy him
He's constantly screaming about the cheaters and hackers
Old enough to know better
I mean even adults curse when angry
I have thought about secretly being on twitch streaming him flipping his shit
Yes, but man, his is unbelievable
He is 16
Sooooo
He would totally kick my ass if he knew I was even talking about him
Lol
Cause I am the super cool gaming mom
π
But now I am here talking smack about his highness
Maybe I'll try bf1 through their free trial
When we play any games together tho, I am his FRIEND never his mom
I should really give that game a chance
I also have played few video games with my mom
Here's a kicker to the story before I leave on an errand
His father (my ex) got him into this game and he does group with him... I can't imagine the day I end up in that group
Cause me playing is seekrit
No voice comm if that ever happens !!
π
Ok, back in a bit... if you decide to try it, hit me up !
Cool, but just know one thing
If I play it it's gonna be my first time
I have never played bf1 so dunno how much different it's from other BF titles
So I ain't gonna be a tutor
More like can't
Btw @tepid pike
Is bf1 still on free trial ?
i think so yes
Cool
Its a lot of room for a ssd but yes


Sooooooo @frozen spade - It's time to DL and play it... you can't possibly be any worse than me as a total noob :p
Holy macaroni ! Ok, I work night shift - it's 1621 here - what time do you normally get up/start playing?
Well today is a day off
can someone help me clear something up?
I'll DM you when I have it downloaded
if i shoot a gun one shot at a time do all those shots count as first shots?
im trying to figure out just what angled grip was doing
In bf4 ?
in bfh
I change between 3 and 4
my god the Netcode is terrible for wireless connections.... I do not exaggerate when I say half my shots don't register, most of the times, the game doesn't register when I press to open parachute anymore either or start a bayonet charge... it just doesn't register it. The server also gets my position wrong the whole time, thinking I'm still where I was 2 seconds prior... it's a trainwreck, I've never played a game that had a netcode this bad
I'm sure it all runs smoth when you have cable and so forth
@tidal finch bf1 ?
yes BF1, I know, the game with a so called ndustry standard netcode

None of what I typed contains any saltiness or hyperboles, this is literally how it's been almost the whole time lately
After the Apocalypse update ?
even when looking at my recordings I'm just monkaS'ing the whole time at wtf I'm looking at
yes after apocalypse in particular, but it's always been pretty bad
Hmm
I remember I snuck up behind an enemy on st quentin scar during vanilla BF1 with a shotgun in hand. In a shed. And I stood about 2 meters behind him. Aimed carefully onto the man's head, released 2 shots
neither registered O_o
@tidal finch how big is the base game
I don't even remember if the third shot killed him or I got killed, I only remember being so baffled by realizing "omg so I'm not crazy after all!"
@frozen spade what do you mean, how big?

so the installation folder says 79.3 gb
nah but it is a pretty huge game like that
ethernet ftw

it doesn't matter if you have premium or not, the game files are still just as big

@iron flint so that means even though if i don't have premium I would still be downloading dlc and stuff ?
@frozen spade yes, that's so you have the content already for premium trials and such
Hello @glossy skiff please first #415227200644579359 this.
Thanks admin
yes but you see #415227200644579359 here? <- Click link
Tom, you know nothing of my pain as a WiFi guy...
When you use a mortar, is the fastest way of getting back to the map where you can see where you aim to leave the mortar and then use it again?
Somebody in the comment section of Level's video on BF2018 has claimed that BF2018 will be WW2 and that DICE LA are the ones working on BC3

DICE LA is working on something regardless, hence why they have basically not been heavily involved with BF1
Its been mostly DICE Sweden for BF1

@solid hinge maybe right click straight after shooting it. Because in PS4 it's L2 (ADS/Aim)
Does anybody else hate the new Best Squad screen as much as I do??

Not really
Was the Mars in the game since the start or only later on? Cause I feel like it wasn't there in the beginning...
anyone having trouble playing any dlc maps?
@tidal finch Mars was in the game before any DLC, yes.
thanks @solid hinge
π
nah gta 5 is less

ok
what does playable at 22% mean
i m downloading the trial of BF1
is it the base game ?
so i jumped on today and it said that after i finish a game it will give me 1000 scraps and a battlepack. but it didnt, anyone else having this problem?
yea i just realized
though on the good note i can run BF1 above 60 fps on 1080p high-low mix settings
π
seems like i will have to wait 6 hours for it to download


can i run bf4 on intel 630
How do I play the assault class effectively
Can get around 35-40 fps runs at 720p in low settings.
@left whale mention your specs first
That might help you know
Cuz I'm not a mind reader
it's the answer for @digital totem , not me
Who here is exited for battlefield 2018?
Me
And since a new one is coming out I want to do a playthrough of all the games leading up to now
However
Are the games pre Bad Company available for purchase anymore?
Or do the servers even function for that matter?
I'd be excited for BF2018 if
- the netcode wouldn't be so damn sensitive with the least packet loss
- the time between clicking the desktop icon and being in a match would be reduced
- you wouldn't lose all your progress if you get DC'd out of a game and rejoin
- vehicles would be less dominant
- less focus on weapon unlocking and definitely not with assignments that force you to play in an awkward and uneffective way for a long time
How come thereβs no lmgs with quad pods
Its amazing and sad at how terribele team balance is lately. 1 in maybe 10 games do I have a balanced match. Otherwise its one team being steam rolled and not knowing what theyre doing while the other team does the steam rolling
So, what do you think battlefield 2018 will be set in?
@tidal finch btw even in previous titles if you got DCed and you rejoined you would lose progress
I think it's a thing typical to bf games

Also assignments were there in previous games too
Don't think they will change that
Otherwise progression will feel very linear
Also assignments make you play with weapons you probably wouldn't otherwise
Wooow fighters suck
Even if they win a dogfight by getting behind the enemy aircraft
Then the attack plane pilot or bomber pilot can just switch seats and shred them in one magazine
Plus youβre not only useless against enemy aircraft but youβre also useless against infantry
AND ground weapons do even more damage to you than the other planes
I get what DICE was going for with the fighter but when the anti-infantry planes can have a near infinite arc gun that shreds the shit out of you then itβs pretty pointless
Iβve seen this from both the fighterβs and the attack planeβs perspective
I only remember the Trench Killer loadout for the Fighter.
Being destroyed in a fighter with no chance of getting away after having won the dogfight
And that thing was fucking annoying to deal with.
And destroying fighters without taking much damage by seat switching
Like, no chance to run away from those big ass darts the Fighter fires.
At least the trench killer loadout gave the fighter viability
Now itβs completely useless
That shit fucking annihilates me instantly.
One of the greater aspects about BF1 imo is rediscovering weapons that you once used in the past or never gave much of a chance... Like I rediscovered Mosin-Nagant and the Obrez recently, both just so good in their own ways. Mosin Nagant has such great muzzle velocity, the bullet arrives almost instantly. And Obrez is like a pocket shotgun. Or rediscovering why I used to love the Autoloading Extended... the Mauser 98 sniper... The Carbine version of the SMLE for which I still haven't beaten the number of service stars on any other weapon... BTW How is the Madsen LMG these days?
Madsen is nice
Statistically somewhat better than the BAR in some ways but the funky mag fucks with your awareness
yeah you get a huge blind spot with the mag position
Have you tried the Farquhar?
Iβd like to tell you about our holy saviour Lord Farquhar
yes, I had the Farquhar as my go-to medic weapon, but I now switched to Fedorov, because I got frustrated with unlocking the Farquhar Optical version because of how hard it is to get headshot kills with the storm version
Farquhar Hill is ass.
they're all bodyshots lol
I prefer the Howell and the Auto 8.
Howell is worse than the Farquhar
Git gud.
It has pre TTK patch spread models
No seriously
It has worse spread
Itβs flat out worse
Get better at the Howell.
If you say otherwise then youβre arguing against statistics
I don't give a damn about statistics.
I give a damn about making it work.
tbf, I don't like sharpshooter medic type gameplay, I just can't get stuff done with it. I rather go in the fray with a Autoloading Extended or Fedorov because that's where I'm needed
Good work.
If the statistics of the Farquhar are the same
Then it plays the same
Donβt you get it?
Except the Howell has worse spread
the Howell is too awkward though π Too often I find myself aiming on the barrel of the gun
And I fucking adore the sights.
Also, I like using CSRG with the Obrez on my Assault loadout.
Two skill cannons.
Let me repeat:
I heard some shittalking about the RSC SMG though
The Howell is an ugly sin of an SMLE
thatβs right
fire me
What the hell is that pistol grip
Seriously. People keep going on about stuff like bullets to kill. Like, oh, it takes 4 bullets to kill this guy.
Literally just a metal tube
When you hold a shotgun, but BF1 thinks you're aiming down a Howell
https://image.prntscr.com/image/JLkahPN8Q3C-plvpAPJZaA.png
And the bolt gave users anxiety
So they shifted the sights over
So people wouldnβt think the bolt would fly at their face and kill them
If that was true, then I wouldn't have had to spend a third of my ammo count to kill one guy.
Itβs the spread on it
I donβt know why DICE hasnβt fixed the Howell spread yet
I like the Howell because I like the Farquhar
But until they fix the spread I wonβt use it much
Yes, it is
And the RSC.
It feels obviously more inaccurate than the Farquhar
Symthic takes stats from game files
So where are these alternative stats that the game uses then??
I think there was either a service assignment or weapon onluck that requires me to get some kills on the Mondragon Storm. Yeah after playing a bit with it I quickly realized that I probably wanted to go for another assignment π
βWhat happens on paper isnβt what happens in the gameβ
What happens in the game is made possible with statistics
Without statistics the guns would not work the way they do
Itβs literally all dictated with those numbers in the game files
Happens in real life, too. What I write down for a plan on paper isn't what happens in real life.
Stats are very important though. The choise between one scout rifle or another can be decided on mag size, reload speed, RPM (how fast shots follow up) can I keep ADS'ing when cocking, bullet velocity, sweet spot presence and bracket...
Sure, that guy should be dead in four bullets from my Automatico at close range.
But why is half my magazine gone on one kill.
Because you canβt control the fire rate
Okay, five then.
Because you don't instantly stop spraying after an enemy dies. With an automatico you easily waste 5-8 more bullets
Fair point.
It can also be changed by spread and recoil
Yep.
So OP
I played an entire round of Operations using only the Obrez.
Holy fuck.
That gun is sex.
weapon stats are meaningful, but you need to also know there's more than just stats. Going off stats alone, the M1903 Experimental probably loses out to similar medic guns (AL Extended). But the context is that you are in the Scout class with the only spammable weapon, making it the only gun with which you can flare&flank in the whole game. And as such, you'll get much better personal stats using that weapon than it's theoretical effectiveness should be.
Fucking amazing.
M1903 Experimental used to be an amazing gun before they toned down the fire rate.
I fucking loved countering hill humpers using that.
The nerfs they did to the Support class spread and recoil practically make it useless as a mobile class now, except when you're using the Madsen or the BAR.
Those were unnecessary nerfs.
Only the damage buffs were needed.
That would become properly unbalanced imo. tbh, even when running I win a large share of my firefights using LMG's
majority even
I use the perino now I think, yeah it's a boss gun. But I'm not overly fond of the support's utility
Unbalanced? From my experience, hell no. I felt way underpowered.
I remember the M1917 pre-ttk 2.0.
it felt underpowered before TTK2.0, only the BAR seemed worthwhile
That was a god gun while being mobile and stationary.
Just needed a damage buff.
None of the spread and recoil bullshit.
but at, say, Hellriegel type range, most of the LMG's will wil a lot of the firefights even when standing/walking, because the recoil at this distance is manageable enough to hit enough bullets and it doesn't take many bullets to kill with an LMG
Better than only being useful as a stationary.
I just felt like a god at points with my perino running around on maps like Nivelle where you get a lot of this type of ranges
wee you're down, wee you're down too, weee
Support feels much more terribly underpowered now.
No wonder it's the lowest class played.
talking about Nivelle
I did my entire Perino unlock assignment by hiding in a dark alley between... I think B and C where there's a spotlight shining in your face if you enter it. I just laid down behind it with the MG15 low weight, basically picking off all passer-by's.
Bruh.
As a Support guy, I have no respect for that method whatsoever.
Ironically, my highest score is in Assault and Medic.
But my highest medal count is for ammo resupplies at around 500+.
I think itβs safe to say that support can be used for both offensive, and defensive roles
I mean, support weapons even reflect this
the balance on somme is horrible
if atkers are too incompetent, they get stomped. If they are smart enough to flank, they stomp the hell out the def thanks to the two tanks advantage
Cant we have a middle ground?
Real men move by roaring engines 
real men move by foot
You don't have one 
i do
Kolibri should be full auto with 500 round drum, laser sight, 40x scope, vertical grip, canted delta and suppressor
@violet locust half of the time the best squad screens are so high contrast I can't see anything except the text
Hmm, that's weird
When is the mg 42 being added too bf1?
I think the MG14/17 is the closest we can get
Bump stock variant
So I played a bit for a few weeks when BF1 came out, but have been out of it since then. Any tips for getting back into it? I feel like everyone's going to be much better now with a bunch of different weapons, and I can't even remember how to throw a grenade.
Well, some of the weapons like the lewis gun have been buffed
Infact, all weapons except for level 10 like the hellriegel have been buffed
Actually, just watch this video

Today I've got a list of 7 reasons to come back and play Battlefield 1, if you stopped playing! I know a lot of people have stopped playing the game and so h...
oh, thank you
I'm done, I'm fucckking done with BF1 ... I just spent an hour doing an operation on fuckin Cape Helles as the attackers, I was is the last minute of the final stage of the operation... "server disconnect".. Lost a whole hour of progress in BF1, don't even fuckin talk to me DICE
THIS GAME HAS BEEN OUT SINCE 2016 AND IT'S STILL NOT READY FOR RELEASE
and fyi, my internet didn't go down
@tidal finch this isn't bf1 specific like I have said before
This isn't game's problem
Server side
Your match data isn't synced to cloud in real time
Only after a match gets over
Then it's added
That's why if you get DC don't join back
Chances are your stats will get saved
I still wanna try the CTE but can't access through companion app
