@charred dawn AMD?

charred dawn
#

yes

thorn condor
#

Are you on newest update of windows, 1803?

charred dawn
#

yes

thorn condor
#

You will needa uninstall the newest security updates

#

Somehow the new security updates for 1803 broke the game

solid hinge
#

slow clap

#

I'm still on 1607 LUL

#

Well see, AMD users not on 1803 were getting crashes, but now even if on 1803 you get crashes because of security updates

Did the bf1 update release?

#

I just saw an enemy's rainbow glint through a wall

#

Anyone had the bullets reaching the enemy late?

gray glade
#

no, but i did see people on a server today say that their hit registration felt off

solid hinge
#

you guys think bf1 will die after 5 releases or there will still be people playing

violet locust
#

I'm sure people will still play it

solid hinge
#

hm

#

do I want to buy revolution bf1 or just get origin access

#

BF1 is going to be uninstalled once BFV rolls around to never be touched again

#

is it that bad?

#

for me, the game is a slap in the face

#

casual gunplay mechanics, suppression up the ass, conquest being completely ruined by the idiotic ticketing system, grenade spam still being prevalent, Operation maps being essentially "body throwing" simulators on flag caps, Rush being tossed to the way side, and a non existent RPS system make this game for me the worst BF game I've ever played, and I only play it now to get a feel of how my system could possibly handle BFV.

#

dont really understand most of the stuff you said I just want to shoot people in the face and make stuff explode

#

lol

#

like in battlefield 3

rugged cairn
#

for the unlock reqs for the burton, does it mean I kill enemies on flags, or I have to be on a flag and killing enemies?

#

hello everyone

worn cave
#

@solid hinge my biggest gripe is the horrible stock integration of alternate gamemodes in the server browser, so everyone ignores them. Also the convoluted main menu method of accessing custom games like Standard Issue Rifles etc, so nobody gets to play them now...

#

^in BF1

#

Gameplay aside, just bad UI design for matches

solid hinge
#

oh yeah that also reminds me

#

all of the mindless game modes

#

war pigeons

#

fucking really

#

supply drop was barely touched

#

same with air assault

#

then again

#

Cause nobody knows how to join the damn servers, lol

#

solid hinge
#

I do contribute a poor rps to the limted action they saw

#

Shouldn't be expected to manually create a browser filter for each mode

#

+10 slots hidden by default, kill me

solid hinge
#

Burton LMG is meh

worn cave
#

looked meh in the preview vids

#

Incendiary anti-plane ammo, though?

#

right?

solid hinge
#

because that'll totally be viable with the limited amount of ammo you have to fire as it'll do piss poor damage

#

it's shit like that really irks me

#

random, unneeded and completely useless additions

hybrid stirrup
#

I need some more ammo for my GAU

#

Anyone got some

devout forge
#

I just can't understand how to push into sectors you're supposed to take as assault. Trying to flank, or creeping up the middle you just get killed by snipers or medics before you ever see them. Any advice?

There are complete guids in #peacekeeper-help in the BFEE server discord.gg/bfee

Please do not tag EA/DICE employees that aren't engaging in a conversation. @weary lichen

cerulean hatch
#

Ah okay thank you @stoic estuary

#

Can these be done by yourself on an empty server? Or do I need a whole bunch of buddies to do it

stoic estuary
#

It's still unclear if you have to do all previous Easter Egg stages in BF1 to get the weapon. (To get 4 dogtags and 1 weapon skin).
But everything is possible to be solved alone by yourself in pre-round

cerulean hatch

Ah okay

I guess I have something to do now lol

Is there any way to find old config files? I used to play bf1 and was really good. Now I've updated and returned i get way less fps around 40 less than i remember as well as my aim feeling sluggish as the sensitivity is all wrong.

Do i have to manually tweak things all over?

On pc btw

crystal rock
#

delete config files and start game so you get fresh files

#

that solved bad performance on my end in BF1 yest

solid hinge
#

@spiral adder if you ever find the config file again can you send it to me? my game is running like ass too πŸ˜…

#

Also what are your specs?

spiral adder
#

Running on I76700k and gtx1070

#

If i ever find the file.πŸ˜•

solid hinge
#

what settings?

#

if your aim is feeling sluggish that's probably Vsync, i would disable that

#

see if that fixes your fps and the sluggish response

#

but as far as sensitivity, You just gotta get in a game with a few people, find a spot with no one around, Or just go to campaign. and mess around with the sensitivity until you find the one you had before

#

@spiral adder

Please don't buy Alpha keys from someone. The chances of you getting scammed is very high. Also they're not meant for trading. This is as Dice said only a short stability test. The content you see in every Gameplay Video about it, is all there is. Make sure to register your Email at battlefield.com for the newsletter, and better luck next time. This will most likely not be your last chance.

#

The purpose of Closed Alpha builds within games are to see how players run the game, what kind of bugs they come across, and how much stress the servers can take. Without these builds the final releases of games would be a disaster.

#

Alpha & Beta builds allow the developers to take enormous feedback from the players who are testing the game and fix major bugs in the process πŸ˜ƒ

#

I think I'm gonna pass buying this:
there's no sitting at suburb, in a weird peace hearing the distance battle, all the while knowing it could come crashing down on you at a moments notice. BF3 and on have been just non-stop hectic combat everywhere, no sense of pacing or ebb-and-flow.. something the BF2 trailer nodded to:
https://youtu.be/fQ2c3Yj7Haw?t=138
Yes, the trailer had to sell, and as a whole, it is this all out assault on a single base. But then when it is taken, the assault is over, and if it weren't for the commander asset, it would have been a sweet break in the combat. That base on Daqing Oilfields? It was sometimes a bloody intense 4 squad firefight, other times you could be holding it with nobody coming, but you knew the longer it went after taking it, the harder that wave of enemies was gonna crash down on you. It was the same with Strike at Karkand's Suburb I mentioned earlier - It gave teams critical access to Market and Train, and getting it was sometimes an intense firefight - but it would be a minute or two before the enemy could react - going in alone was a bad idea, so typically a tank or Vodnik/Humvee would be used.

#

These little self contained matches, these battles - taking bases was always this (with some poor map design exceptions, such as Hotel on said Strike at Karkand). These were what made Battlefield such a lasting and memorable experience. The reward for playing was victory, was collaboration, was succeeding with your friends or even strangers online. Yes, weapon or class or vehicle balance was often broken, but the core gameplay was that the battlefield was not one huge front of players murdering each other, it was a collection of little conflicts, clashes between squads, vehicles coming in to provide critical support when things went south. None of this in a hardcore, ARMA-style play - the emergent arcade experience simply encouraged this kind of play.

#

Every battle had this story, it wasn't brief 'battlefield' moments, it was fighting for every meter of dirt up the side of Mashtuur City from Hotel to North Gas Station, seeing buddies drop and supporting your squad, always on the lookout for flanking. Getting to the top, having an incredible firefight with one or even two squads, then taking that base and knowing they'd be coming back for it. Having time to regroup, plan a defense and hold it while someone scouted out to either lay traps or just be an early warning. A solid 2-3 minutes of battle to take a base, reviving, spawning, pushing, grinding, and achieving ultimate little victories.

#

Some of what made this succeed was the 6 man squad: splitting the squad, sending 4 guys head on into an enemy defense, while a squad leader and a medic circle around back to find a safe spot for the leader to sit back and overwatch from was a fundamental strategy everyone naturally came to use. That's how we did Junkyard on jalalabad - usually from market or fountain, we'd scope it out and look for mines, if there were mines and we had humvee, we'd jump the fence, if we had vodnik we'd park it in a corned outside the fence and draw fire, while the main 3 dps, usually a medic a support and antitank, went through the house or around back to the bridge. The vodnik would lookout so the leader and medic could wrap around the main entrace, in case t90/abrams were watching. This was organic, and would happen with randoms, not try hards, it was something people did once they realized having a squad leader alive was worth cooperating for. My friends and I did this specific tactic maybe two or three times. I played map over a hundred times, and I can remember at least as many experiences I had on it. This was just taking a single base. Not even the whole battle, which I could even tell you what we did from there.

#

I can't remember anything like this from games after BF3.. There are moments - but no experiences, no stories to embellish, nothing I could describe in detail, as if telling a war story from some war long ago. The new battlefield has given me nothing more than a collection of moments that I remember hazily.

#

BF5 is more of what made BF3 so bad for long time fans: if 1942-2142 were a tide of war, two waves crashing against eachother, or a rising tide trying to engulf a stronghold; BF3-BFV are a swimming pool. No matter where you are in it, you're in the middle of it. The only times you're not in the middle of it is when you're above it (flying) or not in it at all (deployment, or spawn screen). In BF classic, you could choose to be an engineer in a jeep, just blitzing around repairing tanks, or a support jeep resupplying everyone as needed. (medic/engineer/support resupplied repaired and healed with an aura when driving vehicles) - And hated as the player role may have been for ease of exploitation, commanders had assets, and these required engineers and even squads to stay behind the front lines to repair them or protect them. Players that wanted to constantly play at the front could do that too, because up the beach or out at sea, there's a calm - oceans rise because they are pushed from behind, and waves break because they are being pushed back by the slope of the beach. In BF3-BFV you're always at the front line, and the way classes evolved shows that, the level designs show that, the gimmicks show that. The expectation and the design is to simply ALWAYS be in thick of it. And if you're always in the thick of it, what makes one battle more memorable than the other, what reward is there for being creative or even playing for the team?

#

Calling post BF3 Battlefield a COD Clone, or saying it is becoming CoD has become somewhat of a meme, but when Battlefield 3 was released, the sentiment was brutally honest feedback from players which loved Call of Duty's hectic play, but also Battlefield slow and methodical arcade. I was one of those players - Until Modern Warfare introduced killstreaks, I put as many hours into Call of Duty as I did Battlefield. Modern Warfare was the first Billion dollar launch in the history of games, an industry where just breaking even was common (calculated as future development costs plus development costs), and having a "mere" 200% return on investment was a huge success. Modern Warfare changed all that. EA is owned by investors, and the idea of spending 100-200 Million to make 1.5 Billion was too attractive to pass up - or so we fans like to think. No other reason could have existed to justify the changes made to the core of the game franchise. There were only two major shifts that ocurred between Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 3. Games started making billions per title, and Battlefield went to console. A third, Battlefield Bad Company, is not really a possible reason as the franchise has had several spinoffs during the classic Battlefield era.

Console audiences demanded deep offline experiences (campaigns) for success - a fact that can be seen by simply looking at the performance of games on console that lack campaigns as opposed to the same on PC. Games like Fortnite, PUBG, Counter Strike, Team Fortress, Quake, Unreal Tournament - and many more - simply could not have achieved Call of Duty level sales - even Battlefield's own attempts floundered until Battlefield Bad Company. Pushing a Campaign into the game was required for two reasons - the Xbox 360 requires that a game be playable offline (if installed with a disk/on a disk), and console players were much more likely to buy a full price title just for the single player campaign. This is the critical reason for console sales far exceeding comparable PC sales, even though the number of PC players dwarfs the number of console players. In order to achieve that Billion dollar franchise, EA had to add a campaign. Remember, this is years ago - the industry has shifted, with consoles now allowing for online play to be required, and console players being much more willing to purchase games that lack a defined single player campaign.

#

In adding a Campaign, DICE had to effectively split development - something they had partly avoided doing for Bad Company 2, where levels used in the Single Player were frequently repurposed for the Multiplayer. Battlefield 3's single player is in many ways a compeltely different game to the multiplayer - with vehicles, assets and even engineering technologies being used that are simply unnavailable in the multiplayer release. Some of these were concessions made in order to make Battlefields single player as good looking as possible, while also pushing the hardware to the limit just to get the multiplayer running on the Xbox 360. This is where the biggest pitfall would happen - Consoles require certification for release, consoles are inexpensive to procure, both the campaign and the multiplayer are very large and require lots of eyes on them to catch bugs. The result of all this is majority testing and feedback and data, pre-release, came from console testing.

#

How do I make this claim?

As we all know, Xbox 360 and PS3 have analog input, they have fewer buttons. Most importantly, they could only run 32 players at a time. On PC, picking up a kit was bound to its own key in all games leading up to BC2. The console lacks the number of buttons, so kit swap, something used very frequently in Battlefield, switched from being its own button, to "Hold Reload to Swap". This is a surface tip - we could even call it a coincidence. Dig deeper: Vehicles in BF3 and BF4 react very poorly to binary input, this can be seen best with the Jetskis in BF4, but also Jets and Helicopters in BF3 lacked certain features, certain types of braking and acceleration types which were mapped to the extremes of the analog sticks or triggers, these could be mapped on PC using the config file, but were simply missing in the menus - one of which was the ability to decelrate hard, or air brake. Another area where this could be seen was in infantry movement itself. There was a sluggishness and jankiness to swithing angles (pressing strafe and back or forward), which was even visible in other vehicles but most pronounced in infantry. A game with a special animation engine marketed as being the great next thing was delivering a second-rate movement experience on PC - specifically, when using binary input. Battlefield 3 deleting the weapon wheel preview would be another place where this change is clear.

All of these are little things that point to a console first, PC second feedback loop. Testers and play testers were spending most of their times behind analog controls. The two most critical problems the franchise faces stem from that.

#

Battlefield 3 and 4 level design and weapon balance is console centric. 3D spotting broke Battlefield 3 and 4 on PC.

3D spotting has a place in the console world - Battlefield has large environments, TVs are often poorly configured, low resolution or simply unable to show enough detail in darker rendered environments to make enemies sufficiently visible - Analog sticks are relatively unwieldy so hitting a 3D spotted target, while possibly easy for some of the best, is a challenge for most, unless that target is close enough for aim assist, at which point 3D spotting makes very little difference as the enemy is right on top of the player. On PC, however, tracking and clicking on the little doritos is child's play, the mouse is an incredibly intuitive and accurate pointing device. Open levels on PC, those with helicopters and jets especially, were deathtraps for infantry on PC, forcing most players to play the engineer role to simply get back at the enemy for dying 4 or 5 times from a mile away. Being spotted also meant that if an enemy could see you, they could also shoot at you, and on PC that usually means they will hit you, immediately. This sort of issue is genuinely game breaking, and can turn even the biggest maps into meat grinders for infantry deaths (Alborz Mountains).

#

Where there was some salvation from 3D spotting there was another problem. Level design on infantry focused maps in BF3 and to a smaller extent in BF4, were designed to allow console corner peeking, and worse yet, were designed for 32 players on console. Console corridor play is very different to PC corridor play. A hallway in a console game is difficult not when a target is far from the center of the screen, but when the target is far from the player character. On PC it is the exact opposite, a target at the end of a mile long hallway would be as hard to hit as a target at 25 feet (assuming the bullet can hit at the same time for both distances - the point being PC doesn't, as above mentioned, rely on aim assist). On PC, the traditional approach to hallway, or close quarter combat, is to require the player to have turn to find or search for targets: a wide room room that isn't very deep is far more dangerous to the player than the same room on console, as the console player can snap with aim assist. Grand Bazaar examplifies this issue. All primary combat areas on this map are long narrow channels, rather than wide fields of view with ample cover. Similarly, Caspian Border's central flag on the hill could see directly into several other bases. While on console this is largely a non issue given the lack of aim assist at longer ranges (making the addition of suppression a good way to slow the action down and make it more intense, while also rewarding players for putting bullets down range, you know, let them have fun) - on PC, this kind of access (in addition to 3D spotting) made spawn camping and random deaths a very common isssue.

#

Tracking targets is difficult on console, especially at a distance, and that's ok, Halo has some of the best combat in FPS ever, and it would be miserable (well, it is miserable) on PC, except when the maps are designed from the ground up for PC.

#

The second aspect I mentioned is weapon balance - Battlefield 3 was abysmal for this, and most of the outcry came from PC players, as well as console players who had the misfortune of facing of with an analog stick god. Guns like the USAS 12 FRAG, or the 40mm slug - these were largely non issues for console, at least when compared to the total game breaking balance they had on PC. Sniping with 40mm and the frag was easy, landing all shots was easy - weapons that either aimed to add crowd control or provide very accurate aim with a very accurate weapon were simply completely broken for the PC audience - again, because the bulk of the pre-release development test audience was on analog sticks.

#

Making the best possible console version of Battlefield meant dealing major damage to the core of the game - Battlefield 2 would have been miserable on console, it was far too big for console aiming systems and was balanced for players with pin-point accuracy through inordinate amounts of random bullet spread to artificially manage DPS. While RBS is common on console, too, most games will switch to a kind of magnetism when close enough and aiming close enough to the target - hits are guaranteed, for example, when using BR/DMR/Carbine/etc in Halo when the reticle turns red. This works really well there, incredibly well, but is completely broken when done the same way on PC. In chasing after Console crowds by adding the campaign, and everything it entailed in terms of QA time needed, DICE shifted critical game testing resources away from PC - all in an effort to appease the shareholders who saw major dollar signs in EA's most popular first person shooter.

#

DICE made Battlefield 3 more like Call of Duty not because of their greed, and maybe not even intentionally, but in their effort to make the best Console Battlefield, they fundamentally altered the PC formula. Battlefield Bad Company was everything Battlefield could be with the hardware resources they had to work with - and it is unabashedly good. It had issues, but resolving them, and expanding the experience would have made a better console Battlefield than Battlefield 3 was, and Battlefield 3 should have simply chosen to stay true to its PC roots and hack in a single player experience to fit into the market demands for console. A swiss army knife has it all, sure, but it doesn't really do any of it very well.

#

tldr: classic battlefield was better at being a player driven battlefield with much more dynamic flows and playstyles. Yes, they had LOTS of issues, and things like gunplay were atrocious. BUT: Battlefield stood apart by offering a sandbox experience that let all players be in control of how they played - something that was even reflected in Mod tools, private servers and local game hosting.(edited)
inb4 strike at karkand grenade spam fest - like i said, the games were far from perfect, but they were also a distinct franchise which rewarded some planning and creativity greatly, while it punished mindlessness without skill harshly.
some of the best fun I had in BF2, for example, was driving my brothers around from base to base on kubra dam, just to cap and ditch... usually after a rough grind on some other map... because that was an option, to just shoot the shit and sometimes shoot the enemy.

I just took down a destroyer with a repair tool

#

It felt great

brisk rose
#

nobody silences anyone theres threads on all different outlets there plenty of EA and DICE employees who answer questions

neat scaffold
#

They just dont want fan base to be spamming the developers

#

Or annoying them

maiden steppe
#

play BF4 after a while

#

everybody talks about how great the guns feel

#

seems true for everything except the belt-fed LMGs

neat scaffold
#

Eh... they are ok

#

The lmgs i can do without im not really a support person

maiden steppe
#

they feel like poopoo because the moment you side-step, all accuracy goes out the window

#

DMRs, ARs, mag-fed LMGs don't suffer from this

#

so i mostly used the L86 LSW with support

neat scaffold
#

Some SMGs do but they are best for close quarters anyways however I cant say anything because I have absolute shit connection so its hard to say whether or not I died by a shit gun I used or Lag

#

...

maiden steppe
#

yeah the PDWs, shotguns, carbines, all of those feel great

neat scaffold
#

The most stable gun of all time I found for BF4 is the last carbine u get by unlocking thru the Carbine XP

maiden steppe
#

i'm just kinda sad that the support seems to be neutered in this particular Battlefield

neat scaffold
#

They are the same in BF1 as well tbh except for the premium weapons

maiden steppe
#

suppression doing nothing, belt-fed LMGs having bad accuracy even when tapping/bursting (which makes zero sense when their barrels are longer than other automatic rifles), ammo resupplying very slowing, many gadgets being niche

neat scaffold
#

Well the gadgets i actually like... some of them

maiden steppe
#

at least LMGs have negative spread in BF1, but ever since their max spread changes came, you have to ADS completely before you start firing them

#

otherwise they will start feeling like BF4's LMGs

neat scaffold
#

ADS?

maiden steppe
#

ADS stands for Aim Down Sight, your "zoom" button, right-click.

neat scaffold
#

Oh sorry didnt know if that was a PC term or not

#

Because I have xbox lol

maiden steppe
#

ah, it's a pretty universal term across modern shooters

#

except maybe counterstrike

neat scaffold
#

Well I thought that was like a button combo is what I meant lol

maiden steppe
#

ye, i haven't played shooters on console in LOOONG TIME

neat scaffold
#

I only did because of when Halo was gud

#

Now im just into it for its story

maiden steppe
#

I was defo thinking of getting a PS4 because of all of its sweet exclusives

#

and a Switch

neat scaffold
#

Honestly exclusives mean nothing to me

#

I would play on any platform if I had it

#

I do have a laptop however... its being slow and dumb right now

maiden steppe
#

hideo kojima's developers have always been working to deploy on Playstation

#

so i'll be picking up a PS4 for the upcoming Death Stranding, as well as The Last of Us 2, perhaps playing God of War

neat scaffold
#

Eh I would if I had a playstation but right now im just fine with Xbox

#

Due to my slow acting laptop atm

maiden steppe
#

probably just an aged laptop?

neat scaffold
#

Its an i5

#

Intel core updated to Windows 10

maiden steppe
#

ah well that's not bad

#

unless there's no dedicated GPU or something

neat scaffold
#

Idk why and honestly been working overtime at my factory job soooo im kinda to tired to mess with it atm

#

And it has a shit graphics card of 5500

#

Internal

#

So it most likely wont be able to run the new battlefield V

maiden steppe
#

holy shit THAT'S why it's having issues

#

if you're gonna get a laptop for gaming then you should make sure that it has some dedicated GPU

solid hinge
#

Why is the driver of the train/dreadnought/airship always such a retard

maiden steppe
#

i've been gaming on a laptop for all of my college years until I moved back home for the job search, and built a desktop PC

neat scaffold
#

Haha I only had it for the first semester of college I took before realizing I needed more money in the bank to continue and after first semester I went job hunting

maiden steppe
#

GTX 960M could take on PUBG at average 50 FPS, and it should be much better now that people are claiming to get 90 frames on a GTX 1060

neat scaffold
#

And @solid hinge its because he is a blue berry

maiden steppe
#

driving a behemoth can be pretty stressful

neat scaffold
#

Not if u know where to go

maiden steppe
#

everyone wants you to push forward but it'll get instakilled if you do

neat scaffold
#

If ur guys with u dont know where to aim

#

It has guns

#

People just need teamwork with the behemoths

maiden steppe
#

yeah... if I can't do mic communications with friends then there's no way that I'm gonna make a behemoth effective lol

#

luckily the behemoth is going away in BFV so we don't gotta worry about that anymore

neat scaffold
#

And Teamwork goes for all ground and air vehicles too as in if one should be all a ground vehicle then obviously use em as its supposed to be and for Air STOP USING Attack planes to kill one guy with machine guns on the ground

#

Man thats annoying

maiden steppe
#

i don't expect teamwork out of random matchmaking in 32v32 servers anymore

neat scaffold
#

Same

maiden steppe
#

it's already difficult to do this with random players 5v5 or 6v6 games

neat scaffold
#

Yah I know I hope BFV fixes some of this

#

Like they say

#

And upgrade the map to a larger scale so u dont get across the map pilot sniped by flak

maiden steppe
#

after playing Overwatch and quitting, I don't think they should force players to utilize teamwork to win

#

it should be something that makes good players even better when they coordinate

neat scaffold
#

Well not force it but imply it

maiden steppe
#

when a bunch of random players of varying skill are put together and expected to work together tightly

#

that just causes a boatload of toxicity from what I've seen in Overwatch

neat scaffold
#

I can see that but sometimes when ur in an operations with an only a tank as the vehicle and that bastard is sitting on the spawn (yes our team mate in that tank) and trying to snipe when he cant therefore causing us to loose the objectives kinda annoyed me tbh hence why I dont do operations other than the fact they are just too long

#

Thats just me

#

About the length part

#

I mean Bf1 isnt a bad game however... its just the lack of assistance that makes the game somewhat tedious

#

From ur team mates is all

gray glade
#

yeah the artillery trucks taking up an entire vehicle spot is a real issue for BF1 operations tbh

#

some people claim "hey i help, i got a k/d ratio of 50!", but they forget that defenders have infinite spawns

neat scaffold
#

Eh I just hate those who use a tank as a cover vehicle to try and kill from across the map and i wasnt speaking of the trucks tho I do agree with u however I was speaking of the insane AA range

#

On the smaller map for how many they have in it

gray glade
#

i think that its also an issue ppl forget that tanks arent just for destroying enemy tanks or getting alot of kills. They are immune to gunfire and ppl can spawn on them as long as its not a light tank

neat scaffold
#

Yah

#

That and light tanks are kinda useless since they dont have anything to support itself on the battlefield as far as gun support plus most just use it as a leroy jenkins vehicle is all its gud for in BF1

#

Tbh

gray glade
#

haha yep

#

the only map i find myself using light tank is occasionally monte grappa

neat scaffold
#

Haha

#

Oh god

gray glade
#

because that map is horrible for tanks

neat scaffold
#

I just see snipers mainly on that map

young crest
#

how is frontlines supposed to be played?

neat scaffold
#

Advance, Teamwork, Advance

#

And then followed again by Teamwork

#

I dont usually play frontlines tbh

young crest
#

Im a bit burned out on conquest especially since i see the same players all the time and when you get lopsided match its no fun

neat scaffold
#

Unless i feel like I want to go thru a quick conquest match

#

And honestly some games just feel one sided

#

Just like how operations does to me

#

Where as if ur in a team that starts off loosing it would be very difficult to recover almost

young crest
#

yea on Operations its the worst

#

before BFV im looking for a game to fill in that good BF itch

neat scaffold
#

I have War Thunder on xbox

#

Thats decent enough for me since I always like flying

#

I would play war thunder on my laptop but its screwing up on me

#

I’ll warn u tho

#

If u have console u best check and assign button controls before playing

#

Otherwise U’ll be left wondering dafuq

young crest
#

I have an Xbox but don't play it anymore since Im just pure trash

#

at anything not fifa on controller

neat scaffold
#

Haha im not a pro either I just play for fun and sometimes mess around more than I should now days

#

Lol then again I’ve always been that way

#

I like games with big maps and more things to do

edgy elk
#

Are there still coming updates to Battlefield 4?

young crest
#

Ive always been competitive. Never the super rage kind but I get internal rage when I die

solid hinge
#

I just beat my personal record with Infantry Sniper! πŸ˜„

#

26 kills!!

#

(I know it might not seem like a lot, but to me it is πŸ˜ƒ )

neat scaffold
#

That would be considered a lot to me

young crest
#

yea these days thats alot since scout is weaker class now

solid hinge
#

Really?

#

I find it OP lul

#

Atleast when I play it GWnandaKonataGiggle

neat scaffold
#

One day me and a friend actually had a hay day getting 32/16 on a conquest for turning tides DLC that day will never happen again most likely since I usually suck at sniping

young crest
#

apart from vehicles, medic is the most busted class there is

#

dont know why its so underrated

neat scaffold
#

Hell I generally used snipers as dmrs because for long range im well thinking Hope it hits pulls the trigger what? A miss again? Oh well

solid hinge
#

DMR?

#

What's that

neat scaffold
#

Sorry thats a Bf4 term

#

A semi auto close quarter to mid range weapon

solid hinge
#

Oh yeahhh

#

I remember

#

They were in bf3

young crest
#

I liked using those in BF4 ,even though they were not as good as other weapons

neat scaffold
#

Same

#

Im almost at the last one too

young crest
#

but in BF1 rsc factory is perfect almost OP

#

good hipfire spread and 2hk

neat scaffold
#

It should not be nerfed tho

#

Because thats the main gud gun for Medic

#

They need to be useful somehow

young crest
#

most players use m1907 sweeper or automat

neat scaffold
#

I sometimes use the Farquevar

young crest
#

on PC I rarely see rsc or seblestader1916 marksman which are insane guns

neat scaffold
#

I know lol on xbox I use the RSC when I just say fuck it im not getting as many kills with the other weapons

#

Lol

young crest
#

lol, but its so satisfying

neat scaffold
#

I know haha

#

Tho the last gun for the assault class (premium) is fuckin awesome for close quarters

#

Way worth unlocking

young crest
#

which one is that?

neat scaffold
#

Annihilator Trench

young crest
#

oh yea that thing is nuts

neat scaffold
#

It is

solid hinge
#

I think I need a bit lower sens

neat scaffold
#

And the RSC SMG is pretty cool too

young crest
#

@solid hinge PC or console

solid hinge
#

PC ofc

young crest
#

rsc smg is one of the harder assault guns to play with

neat scaffold
#

Ah man am I gonna be one of the few on xbox in a server again?

#

But the RSC SMG does do the decent 2 shot damage if ur accurate

young crest
#

Honestly I dont know how I found my perfect sens for mouse

solid hinge
#

I'm playing at 10% right now I think

young crest
#

@neat scaffold im dumb I thought it was 3 shot

solid hinge
#

Thinking of going down to like 7% or 5%

#

(I have a pretty high DPI)

young crest
#

I used the profile config file to edit my sens to my exact sens from CSGO/OW

neat scaffold
#

It can be a 3 shot

young crest
#

i forgot how I converted it probably mouse-sens website

solid hinge
#

Ye I know what you're talking about

young crest
#

But it has limited ammo and assault is all about mulitikills

neat scaffold
#

Yah true u have to be close with that SMG

#

The the first match I unlocked it in (conquest amiens) I got literally 5-6 kills in a row without dying and was like woah this gun aint half bad

#

Lol

young crest
#

i gotta try out all the guns before I end my BF1 playing

neat scaffold
#

Haha yah i unlocked all but the ROSS Snipers for BF1 and almost All except for a few premium for assault and same goes for medic and as for assault all except for the hellriegal defensive

young crest
#

unlocking the hellriegel defensive, reee

#

i quit that challenge

neat scaffold
#

Thats the main thing I did for BF1 since I had nothing else to do and same

#

I hated the hellriegel tbh

#

Its just tedious to use when getting 300 kills with a gun that just sometimes feels nerfed

gray glade
#

the ross bolt action is really great tbh

young crest
#

yea that gun and the automatico were kings but now the annihilator and SMG 08 are DICE's poster boys

gray glade
#

almost too good

neat scaffold
#

The ROSS is a new gun I thought

young crest
#

I dont play assault since I feel their guns are too limited

#

with medic you can boss at everyrange

#

autorelver is no joke

gray glade
#

yep, the ross is pretty new, like a few months maybe?

#

the only reason i find it too good is because it's basically got a straight pull bolt, so no need to "un-scope" between shots

young crest
#

I should try it out

neat scaffold
#

I just be a noob when im bored and use the RSC

#

Lol

young crest
#

WHICH RSC?

neat scaffold
#

The medic one

#

When im medic I meant lol

#

I should of clearified

young crest
#

thats not a noob weapon, i hope xqcSad

neat scaffold
#

Haha it is for those who can aim

#

Thats all u need for that weapon

young crest
#

that title goes to prone bipod LMG 08's and suppressive variants

neat scaffold
#

Oh god

young crest
#

across the map sprays that kill you are notlikethis

neat scaffold
#

I hate that last LMG that u unlock thru premium because I just get constantly one shotted by it

solid hinge
#

Fedarov Degtyarev

#

Is

#

Best

young crest
#

are those preorder only weapons

neat scaffold
#

No

solid hinge
neat scaffold
#

Premium

solid hinge
#

Fedarov Degtyarev

#

Is

neat scaffold
#

It is?

solid hinge
#

Pre order only

#

And so is the BAR M1918A2

neat scaffold
#

I did pre order BF1 but I thought that was a Premium only

young crest
#

pre order BFV

neat scaffold
#

Did that too

#

Deluxe

solid hinge
#

M1919 SMG

#

Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine

#

M1911A1

#

Look in off topic

neat scaffold
#

I actually never thought of using that federov

solid hinge
#

Go there

gray glade
#

the fedorov is nice

#

i always change it to single fire and just tapfire like a madman tho

neat scaffold
#

Lol

solid hinge
#

Same here

#

Smart man.

young crest
#

but why tho

solid hinge
#

It's more ammo efficient and fun

young crest
#

and more finger pain

solid hinge
#

Nah
