[brave cypress]

Why

[gusty wigeon]

I like being a medic

[icy sluice]

wtf does queue priority do?

[gusty wigeon]

Because no ones a medic!

[brave cypress]

Also, didn't it used to be a huuuge grind to level up classes?

[thorn snow]

I'm a medic main

[icy sluice]

I am all-round player

[gusty wigeon]

Yeah medic main

[thorn snow]

My great great uncle was a medic in WW1

[gusty wigeon]

And it is

[brave cypress]

Did your great great uncle run past people waiting for revives?

[gusty wigeon]

Was

[thorn snow]

No

He mained medic crate and syringe

[brave cypress]

Then your uncle was a good man

[thorn snow]

Was so

[gusty wigeon]

Yeah

[brave cypress]

No rifle grenade BS

Respectable

[solid hinge]

Packs are better

[thorn snow]

He died at the Battle of the Selle (Giant's Shadow Map)

[gusty wigeon]

I hate medics that dont revive

Oh

[desert dune]

Don't all of us

[brave cypress]

Packs are faster to heal but can't heal a whole room at once

[thorn snow]

I don't like packs

[solid hinge]

But it means you can stay in cover and stay put

[thorn snow]

I put the crate down as I don't need to worry

about constantly handing them out

[desert dune]

Packs and crates have their pros and cons. Whichever you like is all pure preference

[thorn snow]

3k SPM

[gusty wigeon]

Yeah i only put crates

[solid hinge]

I only pass if someone needs them badly

[gusty wigeon]

I use only crates in bf1 or bf4

[solid hinge]

Because a medic can only perform if they are good themselves

[gusty wigeon]

[thorn snow]

I hate new players who have no idea how to play medic

I go out my way to message them

[gusty wigeon]

Fr

[thorn snow]

We as medic mains are being tarnished due to the idiots

[solid hinge]

If I am always handing out packs, I can't defend myself too often so I will help the most damaged and then kill enemies

[gusty wigeon]

Yeah

[thorn snow]

#NotAllMedics

[solid hinge]

Mmm

I never revive people who are in bad positions

Only if it is safe

[gusty wigeon]

[desert dune]

As it should be

[gusty wigeon]

I run for my life

[thorn snow]

Same

But sometimes I rambo revive and it works

[desert dune]

Also up to preference but smoke grenades > everything else

[gusty wigeon]

And revive like 3 people then die

[solid hinge]

Well I either 1. die and he dies or 2. I live but he dies again

[gusty wigeon]

[thorn snow]

I use incendiary

Good at flushing out the campers

[icy sluice]

A several nation army couldn't contain me from going forwards

[gusty wigeon]

O rambo

[thorn snow]

Smoke grenades as Support is funny

[icy sluice]

"funny"

[solid hinge]

I use frags to clear the area

[gusty wigeon]

[thorn snow]

Yes

[solid hinge]

Because people will move away

[gusty wigeon]

[icy sluice]

Incendiaries as Support is what I use

[thorn snow]

I hate gas grenades

[gusty wigeon]

[thorn snow]

Hate how they go through walls

[gusty wigeon]

Same

[solid hinge]

That is stupid

[gusty wigeon]

[thorn snow]

Or kill you despite being away from them

[desert dune]

Incendiary and Gas together

[thorn snow]

You used to get 2 back in the day

It was just gas spam

[desert dune]

spa works just as well

[gusty wigeon]

Gas grenades🇬 🇦 🇾

[thorn snow]

lmao

[solid hinge]

By the way, why do people not run packs in BF4 more?

Especially on larger maps

[thorn snow]

Locker

Easy with crate

[solid hinge]

Locker go with crate

[thorn snow]

I don't play BF4 anymore

[solid hinge]

Fair enough

[gusty wigeon]

I love locker

[thorn snow]

It's a great game don't get me wrong

I just like BF1 thesedays

[solid hinge]

Locker is either cancer or amazing

[gusty wigeon]

Yeah

Locker defence

[thorn snow]

Choke point grenade spam

[solid hinge]

So flank

[gusty wigeon]

Yup

[thorn snow]

Fort de Vaux or Argonne is Locker

Argonne has the layout

[solid hinge]

Locker has a large number of routes you can take to avoid choke points

[thorn snow]

Fort de Vaux has the gameplay

Yeah I know that

Outside

Locker and Shanghai is the only maps I see on BF4 when I went on recently

[gusty wigeon]

[icy sluice]

💦

[solid hinge]

Who uses lasers all the time or often?

[thorn snow]

Fix quit button

[solid hinge]

Lasers are such a joke

[thorn snow]

Is there a fix for the always offline after I get off the main menu?

[solid hinge]

?

[thorn snow]

I always have to connect to EA servers on BF1

After I get past the main menu

[solid hinge]

Restart game

[thorn snow]

It always happens though

Everday for a good few months

[solid hinge]

I don't know then

[thorn snow]

Alright

It's not game breaking anyway

I just need to press to go online

We can all agree that hill humping scouts are despised by everyone

[solid hinge]

Except hill humping scouts

[thorn snow]

true true

I shoot in front of them and spam GO GO GO

[solid hinge]

I respect all tactics except when they ruin the game or are not helpful to the team

I chuck smokes at them

[thorn snow]

It's worse on console

[solid hinge]

I have jet rammed a nest of them

[thorn snow]

good tactic

I get the Airship and let it die on them

Comes down like the Hindenburg on a row of them

[solid hinge]

I took the airship down with the team and then a guy was on my tail. Saw the nest of guys on my team so I got their attention

[thorn snow]

ah

[solid hinge]

Bailed before impact so I annoyed them more

Its better with an F35 in BF4

So bloody loud

[thorn snow]

forgot about how loud it exploded

[solid hinge]

No the F35 fly-by

Best part is vertical take off

Just to show off to those teammates who use runways

[icy sluice]

Destroyed three bombers as a landship passenger, feelsgoodman.

[violet locust]

👌

[icy sluice]

And a heavy bomber in an AA gun.

[violet locust]

Nice work 😄

[knotty iris]

ughh

jesus battlefield is a literal mess

I reinstalled my RAM cause it was running in single channe;

redownloaded the game and reinstalled video drivers

game stil refuses to launch

so I might have to reinstall windows for the 4TH time

Battlefield 1 is the only one that has issues like this

[icy sluice]

One can only speculate...

[knotty iris]

I have absolutely no idea what's causing this

All I did was reseat the ram

and boom. game doesn't work, not even redownloading it

or reinstalling origin

[solid hinge]

you need to play air assault for one of the weekly medals and literaly noone is playing air assault

[unique crater]

joins game on Giant’s Shadow in Back to Basic
my team has 497, enemy team has 999
The hell?

[violet locust]

Joined a match in progress?

[solid hinge]

i wish you could turn that shit off

it ruins my winrate

[knotty iris]

Literally reinstalled windows again, moving over the backup again

it most likely won't work lol

[solid hinge]

What's your gt, @solid hinge

I play on pc fam

Why you wanna know

[brave cypress]

Operations is broken as hell

I couldn't jump, crouch, sprint or switch weapons

None of my bullets did any damage

Rubberbanding with a ping of 46

No red dots above enemy names

Skins weren't showing up

[compact oxide]

Sounds like the BFV alpha

[knotty iris]

wow thanks EA

https://imgur.com/a/rgxXMs8

reinstalled windows again, contacted EA support. they re-added my game back but I still get this

[violet locust]

@knotty iris scroll down to what causingfire said and try that https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-3/quot-We-could-not-activate-Battlefield-3-quot-PC/td-p/745340

[knotty iris]

That's what I did

Support guy told me to do that

[violet locust]

And still didn't work?

[knotty iris]

yep

[violet locust]

Hmm, weird 🤔

[knotty iris]

just did that ,restarted pc

origin s open

"update rquiered" verifying game files now

[violet locust]

It should work, if not, contact an advisor again

[knotty iris]

cant

advisors arent available

didnt work

what the actual fuck

this is what DRM does

It fucks with people who legitimately have the game

tried doing "sign in as different user" like they suggested

gave me this sweet thing

https://imgur.com/a/eKKXOOt

[wary mason]

does the advisor know that you're using outdated version of Origin?

that may cause some problems

[brave cypress]

It's legitimately impossible to win operations on Soissons as attackers

The last sector is stupid

[desert dune]

is there a time when you don't complain about BF1

[brave cypress]

No

[desert dune]

[solid hinge]

can someone tell me if my stats for BF1 are good

because iunno what’s considered good

[brave cypress]

Screenshot?

[compact oxide]

Depends on what you consider good yourself

I personally line myself up with over 1kd, 1kpm and MVP or close to for each game to think I'm doing good

[solid hinge]

My username is Prazisionsschutz

You can look me up on your choice of stat site

[violet locust]

Or we have a #stats channel and you can check there

[vague flame]

At the end of the day, it is a videogame. You should enjoy playing it and not worry about your stats! 😌

[solid hinge]

I just wanna get some opinions

[desert dune]

^

[solid hinge]

what do I type in bot channel

[vague flame]

Read the pinned messages

[solid hinge]

Neat

holy fuck my kdr

well to be fair I did a lot of mortar truck KD farming

[knotty iris]

@wary mason Nope

latest version

it's juts that ui for that is very old

[wary mason]

oh my mistake then

[compact oxide]

Honestly I don't see many hacking assaults, it's normally the support players with a large mag

[solid hinge]

I can’t wait until super random spread is gone

[compact oxide]

^

Just more recoil...

[solid hinge]

guns should have spread for obvious reasons but not your bullet is 10m off to the left right after it leaves the barrel spread

[wary mason]

Agreed

Probably the reason why im back to bf3

[solid hinge]

The annoying thing about BF1 is they do so many things to compress the skill gap between pro level players and people who are bad

Bad players prefer easy kill grind mechanics like mortar trucks because they’re no risk high reward mechanics

[unborn iris]

I've had my bullets randomly disappear at times as well

[solid hinge]

and by making the main aspects of infantry (spread, recoil, etc) based off of random variables, they make defeating ones opponent more of a matter of luck than skill

this coupled with many of the other mechanics in BF1 I’ll happily complain about severely reduces the advantage someone gains over their opponent when they’re better than them

[unborn iris]

The most annoying thing in BF1 for me is how little counters that are for the infantry for anti vehicle stuff

Anti tank rocket gun is meh

Dynamite doesn't stick

[wary mason]

Rocket gun should 1 hit a plane

Imo

[solid hinge]

I personally think the heavy bomber needs more damage resistance

[knotty iris]

How much health cavalry jas

[wary mason]

Not the AA one

But the normal one

[knotty iris]

You can shoot them in the face and theh live

[solid hinge]

heavy bomber is big and slow and has next to no maneuverability

2 lmgs shooting it will bring it down in seconds

the rest of the planes need less resistance to damage because they’re fast and obnoxious

[unborn iris]

Burton is a meme

Deals meh damage but fucks planes up piece by piece

[solid hinge]

It’s not just the burton

any LMG will shred the heavy bomber

[unborn iris]

I'm talking generally

[violet locust]

I took one down with the Lewis

[desert dune]

[solid hinge]

I think it’s area damage capability is really stupid but it’s balanced by maneuverability and size

[unborn iris]

Unless the planes retarded it'll escape the LMG unless below like 40 health

[solid hinge]

Escaping an LMG with a heavy bomber is a hassle in its own

You can’t really turn or dive in that plane

once you select a course to drop your bombs you’re pretty much locked into it

and I mean the payoff is really good considering it can clear a point by itself but still

regular bomber is really good at area denial as well

[compact oxide]

The heavy bomber is a low effort kill farmer

[solid hinge]

and it’s maneuverability is on par with attack plane

[compact oxide]

Clear one point-get shot down-repeat

[solid hinge]

yeah but a lot of the vehicles and such are low effort

[compact oxide]

Yup

That's why I make it my mission to take them out 😛

[solid hinge]

I guess what I’m saying is

it’s really weak even with its point clearing potential

Regular bomber is good area denial with attack plane maneuverability

like the other planes are all super obnoxious and generally require good team play to take out

heavy bomber is non threatening and dies as soon as it spawns in if you have like 2 lmgs on your team

[bitter bluff]

Quick question

How does Battlefield do it's destruction in a way that the performance impact isn't as huge as, say, R6S?

I mean, aside from optimization, do they just spawn in multiple rigid bodies?

[wary mason]

that's really a hard question but at least in alpha i didn't notice any decaying framerates

have to wait for the full release

[bitter bluff]

Or do they just have 2 states and use particle effects to hide the transition?

Wat

[frozen sparrow]

Can we keep the shitposting to #general

[bitter bluff]

Does anyone have an answer to my question tho?

#general

[wary mason]

!clean user 380149895274823681 10

[solid hinge]

why the fuck do people say yeet now

[hybrid stirrup]

Nee

[solid hinge]

that word makes no sense

it’s not even a word

[hybrid stirrup]

Noice

Yeets guy with Frommer Stop Auto

[solid hinge]

blocked

[hybrid stirrup]

I tested the Frommer Stop Auto against a Hielgriel and it killed him first so GGs on that

[unborn iris]

YAYEET

[frozen sparrow]

There's no need for personal insults

[hybrid stirrup]

Ya Yeet

[unborn iris]

oof

[pearl maple]

But what is yeet?

[hybrid stirrup]

If I have a son and he says yeet I'm going to kick open his door and yell, "Yes, YEET SON"

[solid hinge]

ok I won’t make it personal this time

[violet locust]

How bout you "yeet" yourself to #general

[frozen sparrow]

^

[solid hinge]

[unborn iris]

i'll yeet myself into the trash

[hybrid stirrup]

How did I get from the Frommer Stop Auto to yeet

[bitter bluff]

Ffs

[hybrid stirrup]

I think the Frommer is the best gun

[unborn iris]

@bitter bluff no-one knows

[bitter bluff]

#general

[unborn iris]

wait

wrong thing

[bitter bluff]

Don't make me get my Huot

[hybrid stirrup]

I score over ten thousand a round with that thing

My top kills with it were 23

It fires so fast

[bitter bluff]

Not fast

[hybrid stirrup]

And very fast reload

[bitter bluff]

But accurate

[hybrid stirrup]

Dude 900 rate of fire is fast

[bitter bluff]

For the Huot?

[hybrid stirrup]

No the Frommer

[bitter bluff]

Oh

Yeah

[hybrid stirrup]

It's op

[bitter bluff]

Not really

[unborn iris]

Frommer

budget automatico

[bitter bluff]

Battlefield's meta still gives medium-range guns a general advantage

As most engagements are at that distance

[hybrid stirrup]

I killed 6 people with it each with an actual gun within 15 seconds

One had a hielgriegal or what ever it's name is

Another gun I love is the mondragon storm

[bitter bluff]

Also, @wary mason could I ask one of the devs? Or are they not allowed to talk about that?

The mondragon is good

[hybrid stirrup]

Very good 40 and at any range 60 in the head very fast tactical and empty reload

[wary mason]

I'm pretty sure that they're under an NDA

[bitter bluff]

Ah

Okay

[hybrid stirrup]

Why do people despise people who are my age in Battlefield 1 even tho I get like a score 5000 higher than there's

[bitter bluff]

How old are you?

If you don't mind me asking

[hybrid stirrup]

8-12

Yet I destroy

[bitter bluff]

I despise you

[hybrid stirrup]

Kool

[bitter bluff]

/s

[unborn iris]

@wary mason can we be allowed to post pics here again

😦

[hybrid stirrup]

Thank you for your input

[bitter bluff]

As long as you ptfo, you're good

[hybrid stirrup]

I do

A lot

[bitter bluff]

The only thing I don't like is bush Wookiees

[hybrid stirrup]

Well at least I'm not that

Only time I go in a bush is to heal up

Then I immediately leave

Gotta vpaly the objective

BTW what's your farthest kill

[bitter bluff]

What gun?

[hybrid stirrup]

Any sniper

[bitter bluff]

Oh

[hybrid stirrup]

Mines 1282 feet or 391 meters made on Quintens Scar

Also what about the Obrez

[brave cypress]

I thought you could only check longest headshot?

Battlefield companion only shows farthest headshot

[wary mason]

mine probably is in BF3

[vague marsh]

Is origin down?

[brave cypress]

My longest BF1 headshot was 446.25 meters on Sinai with either the Gewehr 98, 1903 or Russian 1895

[vague marsh]

Or is this just me?

[brave cypress]

Just checked

Was the 1903

[wary mason]

Origin should be up

[brave cypress]

Is there gonna be any more R2BFV stuff?

[rose pilot]

Most likely

[gray glade]

im so happy we actually got 2 good operations for the operations campaign now

FINALLY right!?

[unborn egret]

What the fuck is the frommer doing in BTB?

This is utter bullshit

[hybrid stirrup]

@unborn egret what

Is BTB

[unborn iris]

@hybrid stirrup Back to Basics

[hybrid stirrup]

Well probably cuz it be good

It kills people so easily

[unborn egret]

Back to basics

Which is standard issue rifles only

So why, pray tell, is an automatic pistol in there?

Please fix dice

[solid hinge]

Guys

I got questions about server rental

anyone?

guys

pls

has anyone rented a server

[wary mason]

we have

[solid hinge]

oh finally

so

u ever rented a server?

@wary mason

?

i got questions

im about to rent one

[wary mason]

ask away

[solid hinge]

ok so

first off, which server host is the best?

fragnet? nitrado? gameservers.com?

which is the most stable and has the least amount of lag?

[wary mason]

oh never rented from 3rd party only in BF1 from EA/DICE

[solid hinge]

ah damn

[wary mason]

[solid hinge]

i must talk to someone who did this before

Hess

there are 4 types of servers in bf

official, ranked, unranked and private

i know what the first 3 are

are "private" servers ranked?

I wanna play with my friends only

5-6 of them

but I'd still like to progress

any info on this one?

[wary mason]

hmm im pretty sure private servers are unranked

[solid hinge]

yeah

thats what i think

i wish i could talk to Braddock

dont wanna wake him up

😄

[solid hinge]

Anyone else who has a problem with the black screen after a game? Every time after a Match the screen turns black and I have to close the game. It didn’t happen so often before as now... bf1 on ps4

[gusty wigeon]

@solid hinge

[gray glade]

@solid hinge not every game, but i did get once yesterday and today on PC though

[hybrid stirrup]

Am I allowed to say I'm streaming a little on PS4

[pseudo saffron]

Yes you can advertise your twitch in #streams-and-videos

[hybrid stirrup]

K kool

[pseudo saffron]

POGGERS

[carmine heart]

whay is that, a BF V test?

xD

Well is a good idea

[gray glade]

yay nice!

[solid hinge]

Cool.

[jade frigate]

urm flexxstar

nice pp

anyways.... why cant i invite my friends for bf1

[icy sluice]

You mean pfp

For BF1, you can use the right side bar and press join friend or in the very first menu it should show join friend. Granted you're not showing offline or anything.

[jade frigate]

it says no friends avaible for party invite

but its been fine like yesterday

[icy sluice]

Are you on PC, Xbox or PS4?

[jade frigate]

pc

[icy sluice]

I don't know Origin's interface all that much...

[jade frigate]

Origin/Battlefield 1 is the worst

[knotty iris]

someone mentioned I complain alot about this game. But there's a VERY good reason for it. Having to try and get the game to run properly/ or to even get it to launch, reinstalling windows at least 5 times for that is absolutely ludicrious

[pseudo saffron]

@jade frigate

[knotty iris]

Having to try for several days just to get the game to run is ridiculous

I'm sure you'd complain as well if you had to go through this

I'm pretty sure it's either an Origin issue or the actual game. Pretty sure it's origin tho

as I've seen loads of people having the exact same issue across Origin-based games

And this has been happening for years mind you. Doesn't help when Origin's DRM system gets in the way of you trying to get it to work "Saying things such as, you need to activate Battlefield 1" Which I obviously have on my account, tied to my computer

https://gfycat.com/EnviousSimpleArkshell

[icy sluice]

I sadly cannot connect to BF1

[knotty iris]

aaaand origin went offline

as in origin serverds

[brave cypress]

Can't connect to EA Online

[knotty iris]

QUestion:

Why do I have to go online to play BF1?

I want to test if the game actually launches now that I've done other fixes

but can't even do that

I just want to get into the singleplayer

[icy sluice]

🔔 Red Alert, Red Alert 🔔

Fine for me

[knotty iris]

doesnt work

[hollow mulch]

I can't get on

thx

i should make a twitter account

[naive idol]

asdf

is origin down

nvm it is

first time i intend to play in months

and its down

kek

[violet locust]

Keep an eye on #game-news , we'll post when it comes back up

[solid hinge]

i cant log in

it says invalid credentials

i didnt mistype anything

LITERally noone is playing air assault

when you need to play air assault to get one of the medals thisweek

[knotty iris]

Back online

yea pc servers are dead

[brave cypress]

I need 1 more piece for the Bartek Bludgeon

And I have 1985 scraps

So close

[solid hinge]

to be fair the playlist is garbage this week

[brave cypress]

Back to Basics is lame

It'd be fun if you could use any single action rifle with iron sights

[solid hinge]

It'd be alright if you couldnt use the fucking frommer stop auto

[brave cypress]

I'd use the 1911 extended IF I COULD PUT CAMOS ON IT

[solid hinge]

GUYS

I CANT LOGIN

HELP

i cant log into origin...

ok its good now

i used wrong email xD

🤢

common sense dude

[brave cypress]

Hahaha

I got killed by some idiot in an attack plane and watched as he slammed into a flagpole in the death screen

Becuase he's flying the attack plane using the ground support package, and all people that use that are assholes

[violet locust]

Services should be back now, check #game-news

[unique crater]

That one squad medic who ignores his dead squadmates to get that failed kill

👌

[solid hinge]

thats all medics

except me and like 2 other people

[icy sluice]

Ironically, 5 minutes after the discovery of the servers being down... my internet went down.

[solid hinge]

Guys

anyone knows some useful procon plugins

[faint spruce]

Guys, if I buy Battlefield 5 for PC, will I get to play their beta version?

Also, are there any SEAS server?

[brave cypress]

Oh shit

There's gonna be an Apocalypse stage for R2BFV

There's a dog tag called "Harbinger" that says it's awarded during the Apocalypse stage of R2BFV

Uhm

I completed the Operations Battlepack order

And it said to wait 4 hours to do it again

So I turned the game off and came back 4 hours later

It said to wait another hour

So I turned it off again and came back

And now it says to wait 2 hours

Wtf Dice

[lunar lion]

@faint spruce Can you change your name to something that can be properly mentioned? I changed your server nickname for now.

[unborn iris]

What guns were released with apocalypse again?

[faint spruce]

Ok

[solid hinge]

Oof.

He has incompatible name.

[queen heart]

my origin name

Bodasztik

[icy sluice]

From what I remember, the guns that came with Apocalypse are the RSC SMG, the IMG, Ross Marksman, Enfield Infantry, Howell Factory and Sniper, and the Revolver MK VI

You should be able to get the information off of the Battlefield website

the AA Rocket Gun was added, there was also the Sickle, Meat Cleaver, the negative specializations... other stuff

[sullen mist]

A pigeon recon gadget was originally meant to be added but that was removed

Like you could control the pigeon and take pictures

[icy sluice]

That's kinda cool but I can see that being a little OP in some situations... or broken

Like glitchy broken not holy shit use this right away broken

[sullen mist]

It would probably make certain gadgets like the flare gun maybe obsolete

[icy sluice]

Also, how would you control ammo with it?

[sullen mist]

Ammo box probably gives you a free pigeon in a cage? lol

[icy sluice]

Still, I could see this being quite buggy

[sullen mist]

Not sure, wouldn't it have the same performance as the SUAV from bf4?

Albeit with a camera for wide area spotting

[icy sluice]

So, getting supplied by an ammo pouch and someone is throwing a live pigeon at you.

[solid hinge]

DAMN IM OUT IF PIGEONS THROW ME A NEW ONE!

** Tosses pigeon **

Thanks!

Plot twist That was a live grenade

[icy sluice]

I love that you can throw ammo like 17m away

[solid hinge]

Yep

Oh there's a tank in the way? Here,lemme just throw it ** Through ** the tank.

[sullen mist]

I like how you can revive someone even when the needle or the defibrillators are like a metre away from your downed ally

[marble cape]

https://www.battlefield.com/en-gb/news/battlefield-5-grand-operations-and-multiplayer-modes

Grand Ops will NOT be in the game in release

smh EA, come on

[icy sluice]

"Shortly after launch" I wonder how long that would be...

[marble cape]

one month at least

[icy sluice]

I wonder if Breakthrough will be released at launch and how that would feel without different waves or behemoths.

[peak owl]

Man I wish the Peacekeeper wasn’t so hard to get

[unique crater]

Fuck I hate Argonne Forest on Back to Basics
C is a literal no man’s land

No one can break past C without the entire team arrow heading an area

[main badge]

Those sci-fi horsies are even more rediculous with back to lamics..err I mean basics.

[brave cypress]

The horses are ridiculous regardless of the mode they're in

[sullen mist]

Are there any back to basics servers populated on the ps4?

[unique crater]

Are the xbox servers down? Can’t find any operations

[solid hinge]

Can't even join a Match here

Xbox too

Weird cause it was working

[icy sluice]

If you went to the server browser for Back to Basics (Pressed X when joining Back to Basics) it fucks with your Server Browser filter

By putting something into the name filters

[solid hinge]

nah its the servers

It's off now

[unique crater]

I think I got a game

Conquest on Suez... Fuck Suez

[solid hinge]

ever time I refresh

Servers get less and less

[unique crater]

I really really hate Suez and Fao fortress

Especially on Operations

[solid hinge]

Lol

Suez is ok

foa is not

[unique crater]

You either defend really well or get utterly routed

NOOOOOOOOO

[solid hinge]

ah yeah lol

[violet locust]

That's cause its a linear map..

[unique crater]

I joined when the match ended

[solid hinge]

Most ops are linear

The maps I mean

[unique crater]

I recently started maining Support with the Pieper... am I a dick?

[icy sluice]

No?

[solid hinge]

Trust me

That thing is least of being a dick

[unique crater]

I mean, some guns like the mg pistol on assault and the federov are absolute terrors in close quarters

[solid hinge]

Go check other guns

Altought camping with 400 bullets machine gun

is ehhhhh

[unique crater]

I get some really nice kills with the pieper

[solid hinge]

Hateable lel

[unique crater]

Its good for jumping the enemies

[solid hinge]

Ah

What's ur level

[unique crater]

33, just started playing since 2016

[solid hinge]

lolz quit ?

Oh wait 2016?

dafuq

[solid hinge]

I agree.

[karmic hull]

Can I just preorder game and be part of early access plz

👀

[desert dune]

[karmic hull]

All i want to say is If they are releasing early access build why only keep it for origin premiere players , give it to everyone who order :D this will be like steam early access games they can get more feedbacks before game releases and this will help to promote game too

But EA is just giving it to origin premiere player this doesn't feel right!

I'm exploding inside

I pre order game and now EA expect me to get this new origin access too? :(

It's not pay to win , its pay more to play early

I'm typing too.much

Its just my opinion have a good day

[solid hinge]

Petition to remove Tahure from BF1 map rotation. Use the react feature to sign.

[brave cypress]

Almost everyone on my team: sits back and snipes the for the whole match
The game: "We lost, all sectors fallen"

I wonder why we lost

Could it be my useless teammates not PTFO?

Nah

Me and the three other guys contesting need to git gud, obviously

[solid hinge]

#stats

My ears hurt........

[naive idol]

guise

is it possible to buy in origin through paypal but without a credit card?

cause I have money saved in my account but it asks for a credit card information

i cant use it the same way I use it on steam

dunno why

[brave cypress]

Got my Bartek Bludgeon

[knotty iris]

question

So I own battlefield 1 on origin right now right

my friend is going to buy me revolution edition and give me the key

How would that work exactly?

would I have to contact EA to remove it from my library or could I just add it as is?

[compact oxide]

Add as is

It'll upgrade your copy

I went from ea access demo to basic edition to premium to revolution and it just added on top each time

[knotty iris]

ah alright nice

[next ledge]

i got i5 4670k , r9 280x and the GPU usage is low and CPU usage is high, any fix?

[noble current]

@next ledge I think #technology is the right place for that question.

[next ledge]

thanks

[knotty iris]

is EA servers down?

https://imgur.com/a/yBizlka

[naive idol]

is there any way to buy bfv with paypal credit pls

[faint spruce]

If I buy battlefield 5 now, will I get to play the beta as soon as its available?

[desert dune]

If you preorder it, then you get a Beta code to play it early, yes.

Albeit we don't actually start playing until early September.

[faint spruce]

Ok are there any servers for it in SEA?

[violet locust]

@naive idol I believe amazon has paypal credit

[desert dune]

It would be uncommon but I'm sure there's servers floating around

[faint spruce]

Last question, should I get the standard or deluxe?

[desert dune]

All depends on you

I got Deluxe; some people just ordered the Standard

[faint spruce]

Ok got it

So mostly it's just cosmetics in deluxe, I'll get the standard then

[violet locust]

Yeah, the 20 airdrops, which I'm assuming are cosmetic crates

[noble current]

If you don't care about cosmetics, that might be the perfect decision 😉

[compact oxide]

You also get early access to the base game with the deluxe

[unborn iris]

WHY IS HIT REG SO FUCKING SHIT

REEEEEEE

😠

[quaint sparrow]

I really hate the random ass bullet deviation in this game.

Some of my shots don't even right where they're supposed to be.

[unborn iris]

its not even that

6 fucking shots went RIGHT THROUGH A FUCKING PLAYER AT POINT BLANI WITH THE 10A

[quaint sparrow]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah.

That's kinda the point.

Random bullet deviation is shit.

[wary mason]

it's pretty good thing in a shotgun

other guns

not so

[quaint sparrow]

I don't even like the Model 10-A anyways, lol.

[unborn iris]

@quaint sparrow @wary mason this was on argonne, so you can understand why

[bitter bluff]

Kolibri is the best gun. Change my mind.

[quaint sparrow]

I rather use another shotgun.

[faint spruce]

When will be the next Beta for BF5

[gray glade]

how many multiplayer maps did BF1 have on release?

[tardy basin]

9

And then we got giant's shadow for free

[vague flame]

@faint spruce Early sebtember if I'm correct.

[faint spruce]

Wait isn't BF1 alredy released?

[wary mason]

2016

[faint spruce]

Did that go through alpha, beta finals too?

[quaint sparrow]

I really hate LevelCap.

trigger wArNiNg

[valid herald]

braces for amount of typing about to ensue

[quaint sparrow]

I just think his opinions on the weapons are just

Trash.

The Selb M1916 is the best & the Selb 1906 is the worst?

Boy, ur wrong

5-round SLR’s (incl. Liu) are good if you know how to use them.

[gray glade]

thats just his opinion though

[quaint sparrow]

i know

[valid herald]

I dont really have enough watch time with him to form an opinion, only watched like one of his vids about BF5. Where he was saying planes are to slow and gunplay feels better than BF1

[quaint sparrow]

The Perino & the Browning are terrible because they aren’t run-and-gun weapons?

Mmmmmmm ok.

I mean, I personally think BF1’s too casual, but I still play it anyways cause screw it, it’s still fun anyways.

[valid herald]

I enjoy BF1, dont get me wrong. But i agree it feels wayyyy to casual, every BF has it problems, but BF1 for me, just seems to have the biggest list of them all lol

[quaint sparrow]

Yeah.

I hope BFV isn’t super duper casual.

[sullen mist]

I enjoy bf1 but holy shit the grenade spam

It's like being killed by one grenade isn't enough

I have to be attacked with every grenade ever created in existence

[valid herald]

Yeah if they didnt have the exessive grenade spam, i think it would be quite well oiled tbh

[quaint sparrow]

BF1 - 50% Hellriegel & 50% SMG 0/18

And both guns are absolutely shit.

[sullen mist]

Oh yeah the hellriegel spam Lmao...

There was a point where I preferred bf1 to bf4 but it honestly feels like the game has gotten more ridiculous to the point I'm more leaning to my old Battlefield games

Wish I could fire up bf1942 but it doesn't launch anymore lol

[quaint sparrow]

You know, I see these 100SS Hellriegel users and I’m like: wow you must have no variety in your weapon selection

[valid herald]

I was enjoying that back to basics matchmode, then everyone just started using pistols what like uzis... which ruined it all for me lol

[sullen mist]

^

Hate when that happened

[quaint sparrow]

The Hellreigel is way too easy to use.

And that’s like

[sullen mist]

Love the simplistic rifle on rifle battles but some people gotta find the easy way to fight

[quaint sparrow]

No fun.

[valid herald]

fucking loved having to use bolt actions vs bolt action, felt old school

[quaint sparrow]

I pretty much hate almost every meta weapon in BF1.

Because they are sooo borinnnggg.

There’s no challenge or fun in using easy-to-use guns.

[valid herald]

I still play BF4 tbh, just as the gunplay feels better, and grenades feel tactical, not a first thing you do

[quaint sparrow]

BF4 > BF1

[valid herald]

Just wish more people played it haha

[sullen mist]

I do sometimes play with my friends on bf4 but it's very rare

[quaint sparrow]

The Selb M1916 is the most glorified SLR ever.

Tell me otherwise.

[unborn iris]

Hellriegel is a bit shit now. And incredibly rare. Usually it’s either the SMG 08/18 or Annihilator, and the odd Automatico chucked here and there.

[sullen mist]

Never liked using it, prefer the avtomat assault rifle

[quaint sparrow]

Ew Fedorov.

[sullen mist]

I like it, feels nice to use, and fuck it, if the enemies are using the hellriegel might as well use something I can counter them with

I sometimes use the howell

[quaint sparrow]

I just think any full-auto medic rifle (exception to the Cei-Rigotti) just takes away every sort of skill of being a medic.

[sullen mist]

But only on larger maps

[quaint sparrow]

So yeah, the Sweeper sucks ass too.

[unborn iris]

I used to use the Hellriegel but it’s just... outclassed now. It’s just not that good anymore. A bit powercreeped if anything.

[quaint sparrow]

It’s goddamn overrated as fuck.

Trench/Factory all the way.

[sullen mist]

What's the sweeper again? I completely forgot

[quaint sparrow]

M1907 Sweeper

[sullen mist]

Oh that thing

[quaint sparrow]

I pretty much hate almost every fast-firing Assault weapon.

Except the Machinenpistole.

[valid herald]

I feel like a scrub as i use the cei-rigotti, but need that firepower to defend myself 😦

[quaint sparrow]

And the Model 10-A sucks too.

[sullen mist]

Model 10-A is annoying

[quaint sparrow]

I hate the Fedorov, M1907 Sweeper, & Selb M1916.

I hate the Browning Telecancerous & the IMG 0/18.

And for the Scout class... well, the sweetspot mechanic is awful.

Pretty much other weapon I’m okay with.

[gray glade]

hipfire seems a bit too useful overall

with fedorov i rarely ads, not much need usually

[unborn iris]

I use the Browning telescopic. Think I’m too aggressive with it though.

[quaint sparrow]

The problem I have with the Browning in general is that people prone the shit out of thing.

[sullen mist]

Fedorov has good hipfire

[quaint sparrow]

And just camp there.

Doing nothing.

Because bipod = no recoil.

[unborn iris]

@gray glade I’m that odd person that uses the Annihilator storm over the trench... go figure :P
The hipfire on the Annihilator is good enough, and if you fire it too much the spread becomes too big. I guess I’m just used to ADS’ing I guess.

[quaint sparrow]

And fuck scout weapons, when you can literally bipod your LMG and kill snipers.

It’s stupid.

[unborn iris]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

The issue isn’t the bipod necessarily

[quaint sparrow]

The bipod works too well.

[unborn iris]

It’s mainly how suppression works

[sullen mist]

Wow I actually found a populated back to basics server

Yay

[valid herald]

might see you on there then ;p

[quaint sparrow]

Almost B2B server is littered with Frommer Stop Autos.

Major oversight from DICE.

First of all, if you equip that thing in a B2B server.

You’re a fucking dick.

[unborn iris]

Frommer Stop Auto is a budget automatico... it’s a dank maymay

[gray glade]

@unborn iris the annihilator is one of those guns that i still havent figured out seems useful tho

[quaint sparrow]

Machinenpistole >>>>>>> Frommer Stop Auto.

[gray glade]

the recoil is just horrible on the annihilator

[sullen mist]

@quaint sparrow just got killed with an AT rocket and a field gun from far away on the server

Good to know people use their rifles properly 😄

[quaint sparrow]

Seems legit.

[valid herald]

as that happened i just got killed by an at gun ;o made the house fall down on me

[quaint sparrow]

I seem to like the guns that everyone dislikes.

RSC SMG, AL.8 35, 12G Automatic, Selb 1906...

[sullen mist]

Oh they gave the Ottomans the G98 instead of the martini

[quaint sparrow]

It’s fun seeing people get rekt by a gun you don’t see very often.

And it feels satisfying.

I love being called out for hax by someone who I killed about 8 times with the RSC SMG. :P

[valid herald]

thats enough bf for me today, not even one round and seeing half the server with that auto pistol fills me with such hope

[deft summit]

Guys

I have a medal which I need to get 10 hs with single action rifles

[gray glade]

i had server issues today, like package loss or something...i had to vault over everything twice

[deft summit]

Does the MH count towards it?

[sullen mist]

Man I just need the beginning an conflict dogtags and then I can get the SAA

[icy sluice]

One of my service assignments require me to get weapon assignments... Sadly I don't use the Hellriegel and that's like one of the only assignment that isn't hair puling difficult or really rare to get.

[unique crater]

I love the sweeper

[icy sluice]

Pretty good but not good at ranges.

[unique crater]

If everyone is going to be using Fedorovs, M1911, and those damn trench guns, might as give them a taste

[icy sluice]

In places like Amiens A point, it's a godsend.

[unique crater]

I miss the free DLC map rotation from last week

I could live without back to basics and getting nade’d every 5 seconds

OH SHIT

I GOT A FULL OPERATIONS SERVER ON BEYOND THE MARNE

4 vs. 3

😰

Dunno if I can handle this many enemies

[icy sluice]

Am I somehow the only person getting full servers?

It is pretty rare for me to find half-full (or half-empty) servers.

[tight field]

anyone play bf4? #lfg-pc is ded

[solid hinge]

I've finally accomplished my mission

Take a DICE Friend dogtag on Xbox one.

I've taken it 2 times.

[icy sluice]

Apparently my most taken dogtag is a Battlefield Premium ITNOTT one

About 179 times

[solid hinge]

ITNOTT?

What?

[icy sluice]

In the Name of the Tsar

[solid hinge]

OH

That one.

My friend has it 15k times.

[icy sluice]

Actually I think I have it more than 179 times but eh, I don't remember too much and I am about to leave very soon

[solid hinge]

And my other friend is #1 in the world with kills for most of his guns.

MatureDolphin86

[sullen mist]

Wait what

How do you get the same dogtag taken from an enemy 15k times

[compact oxide]

Have no life

[solid hinge]

Check #stats

That's my friend who is #1 with alot of his guns

[compact oxide]

Ah, they're all meh guns

Except the fed of course

[gusty wigeon]

Good morning

[noble current]

@solid hinge Can't find a single gun where he is #1. 🤔

[solid hinge]

Really?

[gusty wigeon]

[solid hinge]

He is in Xbox one.

@noble current

[gusty wigeon]

[noble current]

definitely not

[solid hinge]

Hmm.

Lemme go check.

[noble current]

He's close to it with the federov degtyarev

[solid hinge]

Yeah I know that.

[noble current]

but that's not a lot

😂

but i mean it's nearly impossible to be #1 with multiple weapons at the same time.

[solid hinge]

Oh.

He was #1 with most at one point.

E may have lost his places cause he is getting ready to join the army.

[noble current]

Can't believe that with only 71k kills.

"only"

[solid hinge]

There are a few who are #1 with several things

[noble current]

That's why i said nearly.

There's one guy who's #1 with nearly every elite kit and some gadgets but when it comes to popular weapons you don't have any chance.

[solid hinge]

I know for a while gen-odyssey was #1 with several weapons at once

Boutneus was also #1 with a bunch of vehicles at once too

[noble current]

exceptions prove the rule

[solid hinge]

ALl Im saying is that its not impossible

its improbable though

[noble current]

that's true

[solid hinge]

I know for a while I was trying to get in the top 100 for the landship

but

thats impossible since the landship is trash

I was top 100 in the assault tank for a long time though

[noble current]

i was #1 with the federov optical and rsc factory

[solid hinge]

but ego-binary killed my liking of the game

I'll probably never get to #1 with a single weapon because I just get sick of people moaning about using only one gun

wait...

Are you exor?

[noble current]

That's my clan mate 😄

[solid hinge]

Ahh

[noble current]

He was playing the rsc optical

[solid hinge]

Exor is a decent bloke

[noble current]

it is really fun to play with him

[solid hinge]

I wish he was on PC

Maybe then I'd have team mates who knew how to revive

[noble current]

I think there are also a lot of decent medics on pc

[solid hinge]

Yeah but they are all in clans, and clans play together

So what happens a lot on PC is heavy team stacks

like on AOD servers its not uncommon to see 32 AOD on one side than another 10 on your team

Granted its less common than it used to be

[valid herald]

cant say i see many clans on BF1 tbh

[noble current]

join a clan then

[solid hinge]

Great idea, if only it was that simple

The clans I can join are over sized ones with a ton of toxic members like AOD and UWS

and I'd rather not be a faceless number amongst a thousand other members

[noble current]

there are a lot of small fun clans for sure

[solid hinge]

Small fun clans are too casual and I start getting aggressive when them a lot

I want to win, not be spawn trapped

[valid herald]

you sound in a similar spot to how im feeling in gaming in general atm tbh

[solid hinge]

Yeah thats how it is for me also

I just stopped playing post scriptum for a similar reason

[valid herald]

wanting something serious with a close knit group

i think doing realsim on arma, has kinda ruined me joining clans tbh, as i expect to much now

[solid hinge]

And those clans dont generally like me because i am not the biggest fan of infantry

I hate milsim clans in general, but the BF ones are the worst

its like

they want bf to be a milsim when its an arcade game

[valid herald]

yeah the arma realsim guys never took bf realsim guys seriously, like you said, playing realsim on a acrade format

[solid hinge]

I dont think anyone took bf milsim guys seriously

[valid herald]

haha i imagine not

[solid hinge]

I generally also dont like milsim clans since they expect me to follow orders

and most of the time those orders are stupid

like this milsim clan I played with once, they were obsessed with capturing the fort of fao and keeping it

because it was the "most valuable spot and we will win if we keep it"

I switched teams and locked them into the fort thr entire match to prove a point

they blocked me after

[sullen mist]

Lmao

But seriously why don't those guys just play squad?

[solid hinge]

because squad is too hardcore for them

[valid herald]

haha, i like realsim, but only when its like arma tbh, as it fits with it, having the structure etc there, but on something like battlefield, it never works

[sullen mist]

Exactly

[solid hinge]

and thats the problem Im having with bf5

the system they put in In dont think will work well

[sullen mist]

I saw a milsim bf4 video, looked cool but those guys took it way too seriously lol

[solid hinge]

since a ton of other games do it better

BF is casual, it already has a toxic hyper competitive community that teamkills arty trucks and tries to penalize you for using certain guns

we dont need something more hardcore for bf

[valid herald]

nah, its a pick up and play game tbh

not a side down at a set time and play

[solid hinge]

well current bf games are yeah

but trying to add tactical gameplay into a arcade shooter will just add to the horrid community's behavior

[valid herald]

yea

[sullen mist]

And it will just make games slower than it should appear to be

I'd understand if this was bf1942 and Vietnam (well their respective mods mostly) but since bad company, Battlefield has sort of become more accessible to other players, either casual or not

[valid herald]

yea

i miss the old bf2 days, games still had that tatical gameplay

like squads flanking positions etc

[solid hinge]

See those older bf titles had a very similar toxic community

to what the worst of reddit is now

then some how even though bf2 and bf2mc played exactly the same they didnt according the the hyper hardcore pc zealot of bf2

[sullen mist]

That calling me uneducated thread pretty much sums up the Battlefield Reddit in a nutshell

[solid hinge]

both were slower paced tactical shooters

which very similar mechanics

just because they had different engines doesnt mean they played differently

that being said I didnt play those games very much due to the teamkilling for stuff like sniper spots and helos

[valid herald]

oh god i remember that, now you mention it

[sullen mist]

Battlefield 2 was fun, too bad the bf2 revive community shut themselves down

[valid herald]

the amount of teamkilling for helos and jets was retarded

[solid hinge]

that community was also so terrible

[sullen mist]

The revive community on discord were atrocious

[solid hinge]

they did the same shit they did in bf2

teamkilled for everything

[autumn nest]

Bf 3 community is good

[solid hinge]

because THEY were better suited to it

[dire quiver]

I've only played two BF games

4 and 1

[autumn nest]

of what's left of it

[dire quiver]

Nothing else

[solid hinge]

BF3 had a great community

[sullen mist]

I played all of them apart from the free Battlefield online games and modern combat

Oh and codename eagle

[solid hinge]

but most of that was also due to a combination of birgirpal and BFFs

[sullen mist]

Battlefield friends were the bomb back in 2013

Then they just sorta stopped

[solid hinge]

BFBC2 was the bf title that got me back into bf games

[sullen mist]

Bad company 1 and Battlefield 1943 for me

[solid hinge]

Well they stopped because of machinima fucking them

[dire quiver]

I need to say this again, grand operations will not be available at launch

"Grand Operations is the ultimate multiplayer experience, designed to seamlessly showcase the maps and modes of Battlefield™ V. Each Grand Operation presents a powerful narrative experience inspired by historical events. Shortly after launch, you will be able to take part in the first Grand Operation. In the months that follow, you’ll continue the fight across other unseen and unplayed battlefields of World War 2."

I'm pretty angry about this

[solid hinge]

and the fact they werent making money off it so they had to use other means to make ends meet

[autumn nest]

BF 1 and 4 are my favorite

[solid hinge]

Grand operations shouldnt be in the game period

[autumn nest]

but bad company 2 is what got me into the series

[solid hinge]

operations community is pretty vile

I go 100-0 in a tank and some how I'm a bad guy

when they had 9 snipers do 70-4

[autumn nest]

tanks are hated alot in bf1
