oeh puma
grand merlin
Puma is a backward halftrack
south lynx
Actually the Pakwagen would be fun. Mobile Pak 40 emplacement. (Okay, technically the Pz. IV w/KwK 40 should perform the same, but it won't, because Battlefield.)
Puma doesn't have tracks at all!
silk mist
You got a whole panzer division haha
solid hinge
I can't find tiger anymore
silk mist
Can you delete them also?
quick willow
Is that bug or you did it @solid hinge
silk mist
Oh that sucks
solid hinge
I wonder how dice is going to limit inventory
UI designer gonna have good time fixing this
quick willow
You have one divizion off panzer IV in your disposal what do you want 😂
solid hinge
By the way, does any progress from the beta remain at launch?
Or it's just 2 dogtags?
grand merlin
Just the dog tags
icy sluice
Progression feels quite nice so I am alright unlocking the same weapons again
Just kinda sad I won't be able to get the Suomi or the M1A1 on release... or maybe, who knows?
solid hinge
Medic
icy sluice
Isn't there a M1911 on the splash screen?
grave nimbus
medic gun feels really weak

I love that I can heal people and revive people

Ravioli, Ravioli, let me shot my pistooli

@grave nimbus meant to CQC
grave nimbus
assault gun is really good

I kinda hope it gets more recoil upon release
shell lava
im getting quite a few kills with the medic gun
i dont feel its too weak
maybe its just me

They are; the STG can tapfire all ranges pretty much

Because he is the last argument of kings
icy sluice
I want to rename my tanks
solid hinge
@grand merlin
Reminds me of Mad Max
grand merlin
But I choose all the visual upgrades
shell lava
rename tanks?
grand merlin
Which replaces the gun
icy sluice
I wanna rename it kinda like in BF1, the Black Bess
grand merlin
With a 95mm howitzer
icy sluice
Like have pre-made names so we don't get stupid stuff like "The Black Killer"
grand merlin
Then adds the open top machine gun
shell lava
yeah, i cant wait for people to tell me to join their xxxpussydestroyerxxx tanks
grand merlin
Then the snake launcher is those pipes
icy sluice
Yeah, pre-made names would be better
grand merlin
(I don't know what the snake launcher does)
icy sluice
Lemme google that for ya
shell lava
i would name mine Social Justice Tank
wild agate
"I WILL TOLERATE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU"
solid hinge
Can you write down some text into your tank armor?
grand merlin
That's what I figured it did when it said mine clearing
shell lava
no, thats vandalism
grand merlin
But I don't know how it clears mines
Like I assume it shoots some shit out of the tubers
icy sluice
Like I said, I do hope to have pre-made tank names in the future
shell lava
the tank is the property of the state
solid hinge
If so, maybe putting "Shoot me and you're next would be great
shell lava
you cant just go around scratching it
solid hinge
F the State
shell lava
imagine how much it costs the army to insurance their tanks
grand merlin
The Soviets didn't make their tanks to last
They figured out their T-34s lasted six months
shell lava
so insurance them was pretty expensive then
or they didnt at all because t hey knew it wouldnt last?
grand merlin
So if a part would last past seven months they would replace it with one that lasted six months
Yeah they didn't
The soviets made over 34k T-34s
grand merlin
Hitler is even on record saying how ridiculous the whole thing was after they killed 10k tanks
south lynx
Eh, they didn't human wave. Deep Battle was actually a really interesting doctrine.
shell lava
they literally sent soldiers without weapons
just so the germans will waste bullets
lol
south lynx
No they didn't, stop believing propadanda.
south lynx
Monolith, it's a myth that the Red Army sent unarmed troops into battle.
The closest they got to what you're describing is the penal battalions, which were sent in armed but not typically allowed to retreat.
icy sluice
My review for this game:
"Holy shit, it's better than Roblox Phantom Forces!"
solid hinge
I remember that who are executed for retreating was the officers
glad wasp
Too much enemy at the gate I see
glad wasp
a common misconception is that the red army had crap gear
icy sluice
The coats
glad wasp
but in 1941, the red army actually had some of the best armor and aviation in Europe
south lynx
Armor yes, aviation no.
glad wasp
What they lacked was competent stuff officers, which stalin had purged
glad wasp
Thats another misconception, the soviet tanks were cheap, they must be bad right
south lynx
The VVS had comparably crap planes early in the war, it wasn't until the Yak and La line matured that they really had a first-rate fighter available.
glad wasp
the germans tried their hardest to make the pz4 and then the panther cheaper to produce
they couldnt
the t34 operated at the same if not better level than soviet heavy tanks at the time, so they were heavily favored
south lynx
@glad wasp Good video on the disparities in armor production amongst the big three combatants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6xLMUifbxQ&t=26m18s
glad wasp
cool, Ill take a look later
south lynx
@solid hinge Actually as that that speaker goes over, Germany actually produced more steel than the USSR during the war. They were just awful at making tanks.
glad wasp
I think what they lacked the most in germany was oil and rubber
shell lava
the germans tried to make their tanks "too strong"
it resulted with them being heavy and slow
glad wasp
Especially once Romania fell
south lynx
Nah, not even that.
glad wasp
See, the problem was simple, its Hitler
shell lava
when the engine of the tank got broken they didnt even know how to fix it
south lynx
German tank production was artisinal essentially.
They produced them in place, not on an assembly line.
USA and USSR used assembly lines.
solid hinge
@south lynx You mean the over-spending of time and force-labour?
glad wasp
He keep wanting to make really powerful super weapons that highlight the superiority of the race
I dont think a lot of german officers agreed with him, but what can you do
south lynx
@solid hinge Too much time spent yes, can't speak to forced labor as I'm not familiar with what percentage, if any, of German armor production relied on slaves.
glad wasp
A weimar republic army could probably have decimated the soviets
south lynx
Doubt it. They were still a barely-mechanized force any way you cut it, and their industry would still have been awful.
glad wasp
Well, I guess the germans never had a chance, the whole third Reich thing was almost more of a religion than anything else
icy sluice
Snake Launcher "It works like a snake!"
grand merlin
that blows up
south lynx
The Germans might have stood a chance if they'd planned ahead for Sea Lion in a sane manner (not floating an army across the channel on river barges), and limited themselves to a single front at a time. Punch West to the French coast, hop the channel and take out Britain, and they'd have made the logistics of transatlantic supply much more difficult and troublesome.
solid hinge
@glad wasp
I've seen that Stalingrad was an intend of moral strike of Hitler
While his generals was about to go South to gain the oil from there
Is that true?
glad wasp
Apparently Hitler wanted stalingrad for the ego
I heard that too
In truth, Hitler counted on the russians folding like ww1, and greatly underestimated the unity of the russian people
He thought most of the soviet satellites are just that, satellites, and would gladly turn on the commies when given the chance
solid hinge
Lol, what an ideological mess
glad wasp
He was very wrong on many accounts
icy sable
either
south lynx
There's a good subreddit?
icy sluice
I lurk r/BattlefieldV
south lynx
I thought that it was just various shades of awful.
glad wasp
its like 2 factions going on with bf and bfv sub
icy sable
I wish that was a command on the commorose
glad wasp
its actually pretty funny
icy sluice
British versus the Germans
icy sable
it's still better than the yt comment section
looked at it once and needed eyebleach after that
solid hinge
Do you guys think there'll be a "Defense of Berlin" event?
icy sluice
Funny how people are calling the Dev Talks just "damage control"
glad wasp
I love the dev talks
icy sable
right now the only event I'm hoping for is a second beta
silk mist
Same
south lynx
Dev talks?
icy sluice
Oh you're talking about the changes and stuff that's coming to the game "DAMAGE CONTROL", "THIS GAME IS GONNA DIE"
south lynx
Anyone got a link, I somehow missed the dev talks entirely.
glad wasp
I hope they expand it towards stuff they are working on rather than just stuff in the beta
solid hinge
They will
icy sable
to be fair though the pr team should've released the recent trailer as the first one
icy sable
oh hey didn't know those were out cheers
south lynx
The PR team should have released a real trailer and not a series of crap smash cuts.
solid hinge
But just hoping not as Battlefront 2 support
icy sable
I'll have a look
glad wasp
the comments are so bad lol
icy sluice
That was pretty funny what we just did
south lynx
Cheers Medico.

gentle fulcrum
OMG I've ranked up to level 5 in one game (joined when level 3) with my sniper rifle, and then the server crash so now I'm back with level 3

at some point "but muh immersion" "uneducated" stopped being funny and became a plain circlejerk

I just want them to offer mountbatten pink or desert pink as a vehicle color so I can piss off all the 'muh realism' whiners with completely historically accurate colors.
icy sable
lol
there's a dude that frequents the r/bfv sub named /u/EA_Bad
posts are exact opposite of what you'd expect
icy sluice
Still, this is the most fun I've had in a Battlefield game since BC2
solid hinge
Actually fuck the immersion issue
icy sluice
I've been raging but there's such a thing as a good rage
solid hinge
I'm more afraid of the launch content
glad wasp
Also, dont even getting me started on every youtuber and their mom making videos about how BFV sucks so bad for views
south lynx
Yep. TTK feels really dialed in, gun selection feels like every class has good options, and gadget distribution between classes feels good.
I'd prefer grenades being a little punchier, I feel like they went overboard on reacting to BF1's spam issue, but overall it's pretty good.
icy sluice
According to the "This is Battlefield V" video, we'll be getting content Daily and Weekly
And the next content update will be early 2019
glad wasp
I think content daily means assignments
icy sluice
Which is good
glad wasp
Content is kinda hard to define
solid hinge
By the way, debris death is unpredictable
glad wasp
I think the first set of 2 maps will come early 2019
solid hinge
Can't even notice until it'd too late
glad wasp
There was a rumor about dunkirk, so we might get that a month after launch or something
south lynx
I'm hoping content daily means they kidnapped Ian and forced him to list every gun ever documented to exist up to 1945, and are planning to implement them all. 😛
glad wasp
probably be at most 1 map for dunkirk
solid hinge
Or the Invasion of Poland
hey, does anyone know what the arrows in the grand ops hud mean? https://i.imgur.com/ivb2US0.png
glad wasp
Be cool if they did more collaboration with history stuff, DIce was pretty cool about it with bf1
solid hinge
@south lynx dialed in? haha stg is just a mess
But I think they are starting at 1940
I really cant figure out what they dictate
icy sluice
That looks like breakthrough
south lynx
@solid hinge howso? Feels good to me.
icy sluice
I think the arrows mean the sectors
trail flame
Arrows mean sectors, yeah
icy sluice
So the enemy captured two sectors
trail flame
or the enemy hold two more sectors, etc
icy sluice
Well with the way they're pointing
solid hinge
when stg hits you its always instant death
see how they kinda drain, does that happen when the attackers hold one of the points?
glad wasp
that is not true unless you are lagging
south lynx
Nah, it's not instant death, just fast. And the SMGs are just as fast.
icy sluice
If you want instant death, point blank FG42
solid hinge
oh and head hit boxes are huge
glad wasp
you are exposed, he has initiative, he earned that kill already
south lynx
Any automatic at close range will drop you very fast in BFV. That's not unique to the StG.
glad wasp
it would be imo unfair for him not to kill you
glad wasp
I have audio set to wartapes, I can hear footsteps fine for some reason...
I see a lot of people with that issue though
icy sable
I wonder what this game's op locker will be
or this game's the block
if you catch my drift
glad wasp
Also, when theres an enemy close, your hud lights up red in the direction
solid hinge
@icy sable I vouch for Stalingrad
icy sable
noted
glad wasp
They said no pure infantry map at launch
hearty crow
Any sort of information out there about hosting servers yet? Or are we getting the dumpster fire of BF1's server hosting/management again?
south lynx
I've found that even with normal audio you can still hear footsteps just fine.
icy sable
Any word on a test range too? I miss that feature
south lynx
Not as clear as BF1 sure, but they're not impossible to hear the way some people have been claiming.
glad wasp
I hear so much footsteps under D cap on Narvik im terrified most times
no shooting range afaik
south lynx
And hey, if we want to compare clear footsteps, BF1 has nothing on Quake...
icy sluice
I hope one gets added
solid hinge
footsteps seem inconstant, usually i hear them fine, but sometimes like on stairs they're deafeningly loud
glad wasp
theres going to be a coop mode right
south lynx
Tracking someone halfway across a map by footsteps was totally a think in Quake.
glad wasp
you can use that like a shooting range
solid hinge
@south lynx LMAO
south lynx
Heck, some of the old arena shooters you could figure out which weapons someone had by hearing their step/jump pattern and knowing which weapon pickups were in that general direction.
icy sluice
It's just not in yet
south lynx
I kinda hope they have, revives are so fast that dragging just wouldn't make sense, unless dragging doesn't slow you down at all.
hollow anvil
its coming in the full game
south lynx
I mean, I guess it might have limited use for buddy revives.
glad wasp
based on how glitchy ragdoll is in the beta, dragging is probably super hard to implement
south lynx
But as a medic I can't see any situation in which I'd drag instead of just sticking someone on the spot.
solid hinge
@south lynx maybe hit allies near cover
I encountered some chances to use a cover nearby so that I can revive without being shot
south lynx
I guess, it just seems like a pretty niche use case.
glad wasp
i found smoke nades to be very useful for picking up people as medics
south lynx
Oh yeah, smokes are amazing. One of the few times I miss BF1's regenerating grenades.
solid hinge
dragging would be useful if they died in an open line of fire
solid hinge
The only bad thing of reviving is the stupid icon
i managed to fling my friend under the world
hollow anvil
haha yeah
south lynx
If they died in an open line of fire, then dragging them out of it will leave you exposed. Unless dragging is basically animationless, the slowdown of the pickup/pull animation means you're still at a fair risk for getting killed.
solid hinge
i started rezzing him
glad wasp
I only use smoke to rez squad mates though, got to keep the spawn beacons up and running
icy sluice
If you revive an dthen cancel you push the bodies
I fucking slammed a woman by accident
solid hinge
oh hey speaking of icons, the automatic low ammo icons are gone
hollow anvil
the ragdolls are freaking hilarious XD skyrim 2.0
solid hinge
i play mostly support and now i just have to spam ammo at everyone I see to make sure everyone has ammo
south lynx
Free points!
solid hinge
I hope they add an option to re-enable them
you only get points if their ammo wasnt full
south lynx
Oh, I get what you mean. Sorry, wasn't tracking that conversation.
solid hinge
lol no worries
glad wasp
What other game have server side ragdoll, I applaud dice for trying
south lynx
And yeah, showing critical health/ammo notices to the relevant classes would be good.
solid hinge
like, ammo is very important in this game
i have ammo
I want to give it to you
but now its hard to tell who needs it
south lynx
Pssh, ammo. Who needs it, just knife everyone.

Check this out, 'titanfall' is a censored word in BFV chat: https://gfycat.com/SardonicUnlawfulChameleon

south lynx
Why is 6700 censored?

i think the reason why DLC was baned cause it thought you were typing dick

Technically German smoke grenades should act like gas nades. They used fuming sulfuric acid as a smoke agent.
solid hinge
does firing the artillery on the first day of the grand op do anything?
the obj flashes when its ready to fire like its important
glad wasp
you can fire the artillery??
glad wasp
Never even seen it
solid hinge
go up to it and hold use
glad wasp
Can you aim it?
solid hinge
it fires up and I follow the shell and it doesnt seem to do anything
no
not that I know of
glad wasp
....derp
glad wasp
I think you no longer get paid for using AA on transport anymore
solid hinge
no
solid hinge
that makes sense but they should have just nerfed it
glad wasp
So i guess they removed it
solid hinge
since the rule of bf so far is, if you arent getting points, you arent doing damage
glad wasp
The problem is you no longer know when a transport is destroyed
icy sluice
So, Criterion is helping with the BR mode?
solid hinge
it's really funny shooting people as they drop
glad wasp
They made the damn thing
solid hinge
because dear god does the physics engine not know what to do with the bodies
glad wasp
They also make star fighter assault in battlefront
and need for speed games
so they got some experience with frostbite
its not a new bioware studio, what is frostbite situation
glad wasp
its not the physics, its the serverside ragdoll
solid hinge
I would prefered to delay the launch for early 2019
but the amount of polish it needs feels to me like 2 months isnt enough considering all the other things they gotta work on
dice was never one to launch their games in a 100% finished state
glad wasp
Other than spawn glitch, and aircraft handling, I think the game is fine for launch
south lynx
Disappearing vehicles.
glad wasp
sure bodies jump around, but they did that in many other games
south lynx
That needs fixing.
solid hinge
i mean once they fix the gamebreaking glitches im fine with it
like i still think it shouldnt be launched in that state
but im a subservient consumer
glad wasp
The UI needs a lot of work, but that can be a slow process
solid hinge
im still gonna fucking buy it cause I have no self control
glad wasp
I miss battlelog, all the complaining made them remove it
glad wasp
Ofc
solid hinge
that thing was the WORST
glad wasp
you can change your loadout anytime
solid hinge
it straight up did not work half the time
glad wasp
whether its mid match, at home or on the bus
solid hinge
hm
I get where youre coming from their
having the companion app expanded to have things like that would be nice
glad wasp
once they worked out the early problems, I never really found it not working
solid hinge
but having it be the only way to play was awful
i'd say for me about 35-40% of the time i couldnt play because of it
glad wasp
never had issues like that in bf4, but I can see it happening
solid hinge
By the way, the TTK of BF 4 was like BF V's?
glad wasp
no BF4 was even quicker
solid hinge
it was a neat concept and id be down with them breaking it back if they make it optional
bf4 was a p low ttk
i liked it
glad wasp
the reason why it feels fast is because not everyone have full hp
solid hinge
also that
the new way health works means a lot of people arent full hp
and maybe even you
you just dont notice since health doesnt regen to full anymore
glad wasp
BF1 was the worst, people so spongy its like halo
solid hinge
high ttk and dumb instant kills as well
the bayonet charge still makes me salty just thinking about it
solid hinge
I found the BF 1 TTK fine, after patch
glad wasp
heavy bomber spam
solid hinge
"oh you manage to flank the sniper and get the drop? naw he wins cause he has a bayonet"
oh and fuck the vehicles in bf1 like straight up
solo players carrying their team in a light tank or attack plane
glad wasp
BF1 was the game imo that felt like ww1 battlefront
glad wasp
its a solid game
solid hinge
bf2's combat handled better
glad wasp
I feel bad for the skeleton crew left behind
solid hinge
@solid hinge
The time I played the beta of Battlefront 2, I find the TTK awfully high
glad wasp
DICE thought they could do to star wars what they did with FIFA ultimate team
glad wasp
I picked it up for 20$, i think i got my money's worth
solid hinge
the way the weapons worked made it feel natural
well not natural like realism
but gameplay feel wise
glad wasp
dodge roll for days
south lynx
Dodge roll? What is this, Dark Souls?
solid hinge
of course theres the possibility that since trying to play it now i hate it
glad wasp
in battlefront, pressing alt lets you roll
shell lava
well battlefront 2005 had it
glad wasp
its weird, but even the OG battlefront had it
shell lava
thats why they added it to 2017 bf
glad wasp
yeah
solid hinge
cause like fuck if that isnt the best looking game and 2nd best sounding game
shame about the game part though
I've seen you can dodge and complete slash of a light saber by rolling
Shameful

muted atlas
The game is deisgned to rely in teamwork, but no one does it
solid hinge
@muted atlas
New comers+BF 1 experience= disaster
i think the game made teamwork in your squad a bit harder removing important markers
res markers are hard to see even for your squad
its tough to see whos low health during a fight
no way to know who needs ammo
gray glade
there are so few support players in this beta, at least when i've played
i just toss ammo everywhere
muted atlas
If everyone just used voice coms it wouldn't be a big deal. But no one talks to anyone except in chat, but no one pays attention to the chat.
solid hinge
i just toss it into crowds as much as I can until i stop getting points
they even made it so the auto toss button works even if no one needs ammo
so I cant do waht I did in bf1 and mash that q button until he stops throwing ammo

i only use it cause the other options are meh
gray glade
i have to admit, despite my previous rant, that the bren is way better than the ke7
hoping to unlock the fg42 tonight, what level does that require, 5?
rocky falcon
alpha was better
cuz
less technical issues
that stupid medic glitch didnt happen
rocky falcon
when a medic meds u and last nanosecond that person dies and u can respawn
solid hinge
bren is best lmg imo
a least for me
dear god do I want to try the m30 though
does it have a slug/rifle bullet upgrade
dont crucify me but when I played codww2 that thing was so fun
gray glade
bren has that annoying madsen thingy with the mag straight up

yeah it kinda gets in the way but im used to it at this point
gray glade
i use default fov, so every cm of my screen is important to see 😄
solid hinge
Well okeh.
thats not exactly how fov works but to each their own
i just find it extremely claustrophobic below 80 fov
gray glade
well, its not exactly how it works in theory, but in practice it does work that way
targets also move slightly faster with higher fov
though i see less on screen at the same time, im OK with it
solid hinge
i mean its the same as making your ratio 4:3
the enemies would be much bigger
but no easier to hit
wild ginkgo
targets move slower on high FOV
5 meters is less distance on your screen
compared to the same on low FOV
gray glade
its easier to hit something bigger
solid hinge
but they only look bigger
gray glade
its why CS players always use ratio 4:3
gray glade
well almost always
solid hinge
what are you talking about
wild ginkgo
CS players use 4:3 because they are used to it
solid hinge
4:3 literally does nothing to make it easier
wild ginkgo
it's not actually better in any way
it might make you focus better but that's debatable
solid hinge
thats called personal preference
grand merlin
The Bren is the best in the beta
solid hinge
4:3 is not better
gray glade
obviously they are used to it now
wild ginkgo
and new players blindly copy the config

I am tired of listing all the points, there are so many 😮
south lynx
So give me the short version.
TBH I don't really see much different from previous BF titles aside from shorter TTKs.
last crypt
matchmaking bugs are back?
solid hinge
hey anyone know what triggers last stand
alright I will try to mention them quickly without further explanation: to quick TTK, unbalanced classes and weapons, camping, lighting, sound (guns sound like glass that is breaking), reloading animations are sometimes broken (shotgun), weird ragdolls, health- and ammunition system, etc.
south lynx
Tank dominance is down, which is good, spot removal means air dominance is way down, which is excellent, TTK is down, which is good. Core gameplay still feels like a BF title. Fortifications are pretty neat, and overall feel like a good addition.
I think my biggest gripe is that tanks are still a shade too durable right now, but that might just be the general lack of leveled up assaults with panzerfausts.
Too quick TTK?
Also, how are classes unbalanced?
solid hinge
If the TTK is too quick only the choice of the weapon is crucial in my opinion since there is almost no recoil for those guns (fully automatic guns will almost always win). Also it decreases the skill ceiling because you don't have to be on target with many projectiles. Moreover you cannot counter campers any more. Camping is experiencing a rennaissance
south lynx
Camping is down from BF1.
And TTK being low means that first shot accuracy is huge, and headshots are decisive, both skill-based.
gray glade
low ttk also means you'll die without a chance to react more often
south lynx
It also means missed shots are that much more devastating.
Sure, if you're the sort of player that relies on reaction though, that means you're not being proactive about predicting enemies.
gray glade
but even the best player in the world cant see everything
solid hinge
Let's have a look at the support for this example. The supports LMGs are inferior on all distances than other guns. In close combat he has no chance against the medic and the assault. In medium range combat the STG 44 is still superior and on long range his guns are bad as well.
south lynx
The support's LMGs are devastating at mid and long range, what are you talking about?
solid hinge
The STG 44 is so much easier to use at the same distances
south lynx
Eh, I've not found that to be the case. The accuracy of a bipodded LMG is pretty decisive at longer ranges.
On the move, sure, the StG wins. But that's pretty much inherent in the intended roles of the two weapon types.
solid hinge
are you playing on PC?
south lynx
Yep.
solid hinge
Why are peolle complaining about camping? We’re playing rotterdam here where people are building fortifications to defend
Well I have found the game to be awful. It was just no fun with no class.
Its battlefield, defending is as important
As attacking
This isnt cod
And I didn't even play bad
south lynx
Eh, fair enough, sorry to hear that, but I've got to disagree with you.
potent matrix
Is squads finally fixed?
south lynx
I love low TTK engagements. Fighting to control recoil is less fun than the lightning scramble to get that first accurate headshot IMO.
Then again I'm also one of those folks who was disappointed that BF1 didn't feature bolt-action battle rifles with ironsights for all classes.
solid hinge
I will wait for the next beta but if nothing changes significantly until then I am going to cancel this game...
potent matrix
This is the only beta lol
atomic willow
@south lynx back to basics mode... which no one played 😔
south lynx
Ksizzler, I know, which makes me sad.
atomic willow
It was a solid gamemode
solid hinge
Back to basica was fun
south lynx
I was hoping that the basic ironsight rifle was going to be all kit though, as even in normal modes I'd have taken an ironsighted rifle out for a spin on something other than recon.
I just felt like recon gadgets were bland in BF1.
solid hinge
But yeah like I get as much fun from defending a street in rotterdam as flying in planes, it feels like a WW2 game when ny squad are struggling to defend a bunker lol, I love the rotterdam map
atomic willow
👍
south lynx
Right, but I mean that I didn't like how they played. I'd rather have combined a bolt action with the support, medic, or assault kit.
brave quarry
Im just curious is it suppose to reset ALL your settings when you quit the beta?
solid hinge
doesnt do it for me
brave quarry
@atomic willow i mean when i close and reopne
I played earlier today and got on now and settings completely reset
atomic willow
Ouch, sounds like a bug?
brave quarry
i have no clue
atomic willow
or a problem client side
south lynx
Oddly enough, I'm really enjoying the recon kit in BFV. The spawn beacon and recon scope are fun. I'm really looking forward to the pathfinder combat role they teased. Suppressed SMGs with recon gadgets sounds like a blast.
south lynx
I wish they were more sidegrades than upgrades. I still think Blacklight: Retribution had one of the best sidegrade systems ever, and wish more games would copy that style.
terse forge
what triggers last stand???
atomic willow
I agree I think sidegrades are more balanced
south lynx
Though I imagine such a style done in battlefield probably wouldn't be quite as extensive. BLR theoretically had several hundred thousand weapon builds.
atomic willow
Damn
south lynx
Basically you could pick each part of the gun. Muzzle, barrel, receiver, stock, magazine, sights. Different parts had different specs, but always in ways that carried a bonus and a penalty. E.g. there was a muzzle brake that massively boosted damage, but also decreased accuracy and increased recoil.
Different receivers fundamentally altered the type of the gun, from assault rifle to SMG to LMG, but they were compatible with all the other parts except magazines, so you could straight up swap the same muzzle, barrel, stock, sight arrangement from an SMG to a bolt action rifle.
Not generally a good idea, but it was funny doing something like an ultra-lightweight bolt action rifle ironsight build. You'd be moving super fast (armor and weapon weight slowed you down.) and could headshot for instakills at close range. No real ability to snipe though, unless you were a wizard at unmagnified shots.
I'd love to see that kind of opportunity for creative setups in battlefield.
solid hinge
what happens if friendly player is in middle of flying bomb strike?
is player getting thrown 50 meters away
south lynx
As far as I know, it just knocks them down.
rose basin
the beta was updated today?
solid hinge
no?
rose basin
it was a question xd
gray glade
not today
terse forge
(Xbox): horrible resolution and textures, 30fps cap, but still fun
brave quarry
(PC) amazing gameplay awesome game, small bugs here and there
solid hinge
This games alright once it gets working
gray glade
i wish they built my tank out of the same material they built the cars in this game
it would be invulnerable
solid hinge
oh you mean those ones you can shoot through?
I bet you would be dead when someone gets close to you
is there a way to fix the "channel not available" glitch when you try to use squad chat
magic oasis
was there any news on bf5 having a comp/rank mode ive been out the seince for some time lol
errant cloak
So uh - I was in a game, and the squad leader left and it pulled all of us out of the game still in a squad.
wild agate
Yeah, the whole squad system is messed up
solid hinge
whenever squad leader leaves its supposed to prompt you to follow them
blissful otter
nice challenges
wary mason
pure raptor
I'm using DX11
None of the graphics settings are at Ultra and I'm getting this error :/
shell lava
did tou try to google this error?
pure raptor
Yeah seems you've gotta disable origins in-game which I did
And deleting origins cache which I did
onyx lily
can anyone tell me how to change company in BFV?
violet locust
There's an option on the main menu
solid hinge
@violet locust breakthrough?
violet locust
@solid hinge Yes, it's similar to Rush, setting bombs on objectives
Except Operations
violet locust
@blissful otter Yes, I mentioned this yesterday
solid hinge
last tiger is confirmed being battlefront 2
solid hinge
"oh these guys are evil I'm switching side"
violet locust
Check the assignment while you're in a match, and make sure you have 3 of them done @blissful otter
blissful otter
will do
violet locust
If you don't, you might have to re-do one of them, or choose a different one
blissful otter
thanks
fast grove
Is creating a squad bugged?
And/or is there a way to fix it
I invite people, they accept the invite but they still arent in my squad
violet locust
There could still be some squad issues, yes.
violet locust
Should be the same
drowsy dew
How do you zero in your scope? I have the perk
solid hinge
how do you fix the squad channel not available glitch
violet locust
@blissful otter Sure
wise matrix
sturminteger is shit
and paint job is wack
very slow, unturnable, weird damage splash, and no anti tank damage
the damage is iffy you can get direct hit and not kill but then shot by a corner and kills someone 20 feet away
also anti infantry guns have lots of blind spots
young glade

icy sluice
Well, it's just squadmates so, it's still half true
wise matrix
I'm talking about sturmtiger
gray glade
i like the german tanks over the british tanks tbh
drowsy dew
They need to Nerf the f*cking stg 44
shell lava
i like how they move the squad leader around when the leader doesnt do much
south lynx
I don't, I got bumped as SL despite issuing orders pretty regularly.
shell lava
yeah but in bfv it happens faster
gray glade
yeah
shell lava
i hate squad leaders who dont give orders
south lynx
It seems to bump you if you're not keeping near 100% order uptime.
south lynx
Yeah but it shouldn't penalize you for playing the game. I got bumped because I was too busy avoiding dying to issue an order for a couple minutes.
tall escarp
Stg op
shell lava
timer is a bit too fast yeah
tall escarp
Narvik is so annoying though
drowsy dew
They need to make revive icons a little more obvious to people that or everyone is just a dick
shell lava
found the fortnite player
south lynx
Like sure, if the SL isn't issuing orders for five minutes, go ahead, but I was literally kicked because I took the time to engage a tank as an assault and had to focus completely for a couple minutes.
shell lava
yeah it seems too fast in bfv
south lynx
Wow, first time flying the Spit Vb, what the hell is with the cannons? .303 brownings get splash damage and cannons don't?
gray glade
bombing with that british bomber, i forget the name, was quite easy tbh
south lynx
Blenheim. Haven't tried it yet. Not a big fan of bombers.
Wish they'd included the mossie.
gray glade
the one thing i didnt get a hang of was the resupply of bombs tho
the base we are supposed to resupply at is the ammo box thingy way back on narvik?
drowsy dew
They need to buff the bayonet charge
tall escarp
How do you switch shot modes on ps4
south lynx
Yeah, you fly through the resupply icon to get some of your reparable health back, and get ammo back.
south lynx
More like 20m, but yes.
gray glade
back in the alpha there was a circle in the air but i didnt see that now
noble current
@tall escarp press triangle
gray glade
only that shit on the ground and i flew very close to it but nothing happened
blissful otter
there is bayonets in the game????
south lynx
Lee Enfield gets one as a possible final upgrade.
azure vault
lol the motorbike dismount animation is like 16 seconds long
gray glade
@blissful otter i dont think we've seen it so far
they talked about adding one, but it wouldn't be a bayonett charge like in bf1
south lynx
@gray glade It's in already, check the final upgrade on the Lee Enfield.
south lynx
Well I haven't seen anyone with it yet, so dunno.
rocky falcon
tbh fortifications are underrated
they are op at some places
b on grand operations, narvik is so ooooppp
wise matrix
on the subway point in Amsterdam it is op
drowsy dew
@gray glade I get kills with the bayonet but they nerfed iy
wise matrix
also point d with barbed wire in Amsterdam makes only one entry point
south lynx
You know, if a player is holding the call for help button it should play a FUCKING LOUD directional cue for every medic that's close enough to display on the proximity list.
wise matrix
me too didn't know there was a sound
south lynx
It doesn't play most of the time. Call for help is a total misnomer. It should be silently mime for help.
wise matrix
I play on low volume
south lynx
So is anyone here actually decent with the M1A1? I just unlocked it and I'm not having a good time.
Could use some tips.
wise matrix
is that assault class
drowsy dew
I don't like it
south lynx
Yeah, it's the third assault unlock, after the (far superior) G43.
south lynx
Which would be useful if it ever killed anything, instead of just annoying them slightly.
It's 4 hits to kill minimum, on a semi-auto.
strong parrot
Seems like the m1a1 should be a medic weapon
drowsy dew
Yeah
quick egret
man i was nr. 2 secs before the round ended
strong parrot
Since it's a paratrooper rifle

kar 98 is bae

this one is nice! i have it fully upgraded

how do i only print screen one monitor?

1 footnude is enough
quick egret
but its upgraded fully
lusty veldt
can you test and see if the lee has slower bulet speed for me pretty please? 😄
wise matrix
semi auto forassualt the first one has a velocity upgrade
lusty veldt
by how much you think?
lusty veldt
sweet
thats what i wanted to hear 😛
stupid that they dont tell you how fast the bullets go in the stat menu
quick egret
but kars stock scope sucks so im rocking a big one
lusty veldt
def rocking the big one
wise matrix
semi auto?
wise matrix
no
icy sluice
It has fog
jagged flint
when i was playing there were like snow like particles on my screen
also anyone have menu lag?
im playing borderless and getting like 20 fps
lusty veldt
borderless hits performance
but just a bit
do you have enough ram? (16gb)
dx12 enabled maybe? causes a lot of issues
solid hinge
Who ever said I was wrong about people rushing to spawn camp on Rotterdam, I was right.
blissful otter
how tf do you get spawn camped on bfv?

Loving the beta so far
spiral prism
Love / hate right now
attrition is fucking annoying and the forced squad play doesn't work
fickle sluice
do medics throw ammo pouches?
fickle sluice
Or is it a bug
spiral prism
no
quick egret
man the game is so fun
spiral prism
I actually like the lack of spotting
deft summit
For snipers, make it so I can spot without the fucking thingy
spiral prism
I don't like running around spamming "NEED AMMO" and "NEED MEDIC"
spiral prism
Also the spawn system needs some fucking work
You'd think they would finally get it right after multiple battlefields
quick egret
i want to be able to turn the profanity filter off
spiral prism
git
icy sluice
Throwing health isn't a bug
spiral prism
is censorered
frigid roost
damn
fickle sluice
@icy sluice I mean when I throw a medic pouch it says "resupplying"
frigid roost
bf1 ost is truly the best
violet locust
I noticed you can constantly throw medpacks/ammo packs at the same person 😄
spiral prism
god I hate people spawning behind you on points
deft summit
Will we get more factions?
fickle sluice
probably
solid hinge
Maybe
violet locust
And turning off the profanity filter might change by launch, don't know yet
It's just funny seeing all the *** in chat now 
icy sluice
Resupplying is giving others medic pouches
Like the bandages
At least that's what I think it is, I usually can't resupply medics as a medic or someone who just came from a Medic Station
drowsy dew
The only way I die in this game is by being shot in the back and it's the most irritating things
spiral prism
I die when I can't get health or ammo
Also I kinda wish they used a different map than Rotterdam
It has some issues
solid hinge
Spawn protection needs to go
Ive been killed three times whilst shooting someone to do 21 damage and they just gun ne down on the spawn lol
burnt perch
the key to not dying on spawn is to not spawn in stupid places
gray glade
spawn protection doesnt always work it seems
several times today i've seen ppl spawn and i mow em down in no time
solid hinge
@blissful otter very easily. We literally rushed C 20 matches in a row and they never were able to leave their spawn. Doesnt help that one match we were spawn trapped by a few recons because they can shoot directly into the german spawn just outside theirs.
Rotterdam is stupid
horrible horrible map design
Also this upgrade system is a joke
After getting killed by someone with a fully upgraded gun after I get 3 hits on him with an stg, because Im having to fight recoil and he isnt, he wins
its... Cancer
I did say this would be an issue when they announced that there wasnt any spread, no spread makes guns harder to balance
Rotterdam map design is nice, probably altering the open spawn regions would fix it or encouraging people to go other routes
Reminds me of Seine river mixed with amiens
