/bfg/ - Battlefield General

First for the game is fun :^)

>>176012895
BF4 is pretty cheap now, should I grab it?

I got all the DLCs for free.

>>176013472
why not

it's pretty fun if a bunch a people decide to go back to it

>>176013472

how did you get the dlc without purchasing the game?

>>176013741
I'm worrying that I'll be facing highly experienced players that would fuck me up big time. Like ATGMs, mortars, drones, better tanks/apc/helicopter/jets versus mine.

>>176013756
They gave it for free when BF1 was about to launch.

>>176013972
>highly experienced players that would fuck me up big time
pretty much but you get decent starting equipment

>>176014340
alright, I'll get it

>only 17 usd

Dude i bought the game the other day at a cheap sale for under 30 bucks and was just about to get a new rig because of it

Still, i predict that the pessismists are wrong and that the night time operations (tahure + nivelle nights) getting released for the whole playerbase for free along with the upcoming two expansions will reinvogate the BF1 playerbase back to release-tier levels again.

I mean just look at BC2, that one also had massive content droughts and only a couple meaningful patches (a lot less than BF1 actually) after initial release and still people played it years after the main lifecycle had ended and even found ways to mod its frostbite1.5 engine

And keep in mind that one didn't even have the novel BF1 setting in it...

It's going to be "at least" another one and a half years until BF1 dies fully, dice can offset this even more if they would enable freely/custom-hosted servers though

>>176015386
I hope EA would let DICE "fuck this shit".

Like DLCs are given for free after some few months - then sales went high because everyone's getting the base game.

I still like the game and I've been playing since last Black Friday. I'm a rather good player (2.3 KD and support most used class, followed by assault) which maybe explains why I'm still playing it so much.
But the fucked up patches are getting annoying. The bugs from last week patch is getting a bit too much, the light and brightness is suddenly fucked, the netcode "fix" with the shitty bugs, then there was this horrible horrible operation map in which one side keeps getting spawnraped (I paid 50 euro's for this shit map?) and they suddenly started switching the ammo system (for no reason at all) which really fucked up the core machanism of the game and now all of the sudden the ammo system is changed again and the ammo pouches I have been rocking since november are worthless since they don't replenish grenades anymore. This ruined the cavalry class as well since the ammo puch is now useless because you can't get your grenade back which was usefull to use on tanks while passing on your horse.
The fighter nerf was a good thing but it comes waaay to late, I have had numerous of frustrating operations because of those cheap kills. One last thing that is completely ridiculous but that DICE refuses to acknowledge are the useless scouts ruining operations, they should be limited in quantity.

Also I have been getting so much "traded kills" it's ridiculous. One can happen from time to time but these are happening way too often.

Has anyone ever played an Operation? I've tried to join at least two dozen times. The most players I've ever seen in a game was four.

>>176039595
Platform? I'm doing fine on xbone but i always choose "quick match". If you pick a specific Operation it might be more difficult to find a full match.

>>176039739
PC

Are the 40 or 64 man games more populated? I didn't notice you could quickmatch operations. I'll give it a shot. Is it a fun game mode, by the way?

>>176039895
If you like chaotic and more fast-paced games then sure, it's like Rush on steroids. A bit frustrating if you get paired with retards though.

>>176039595
i generally don't have too much trouble finding one

>>176033927
>wet as fuck
What did she mean by this

BF1 would be a lot less shit if the TTK was more like BF3 across the board. Fuck, I put 120 hours into it and I'm more then sick of it.

>>176039595
>>176039792

Use quickmatch for operations and you might get lucky. Operations were very populated on launch and when the first DLC just had released, now it really died down.

the game is fucking trash, they need to play 64 operations 24h a day for a week straight, eat up that shit, then actually work and make soime changes on the game

I tried to play today, after a hundred hours I played maybe the worst game ever, the worst shit I had to endure in a fucking multiplayer game, and I uninstalled finally.
you guys who bought anything more than the base game need to reconsider your choices in life.

I'm trying to import an emblem from emblemsbf to my BF1 companion, but I keep getting either "Error" or "Emblem is Not Defined" when I try it, no matter which browser I try using. I have premium so it shouldn't be an issue with the layers. Would anyone know why this is happening?

When playing Cavalry on Hardcore, is it ok to shoot a teammate if he tries to steal my horse?

I know this is completely unrelated to BF but does anyone in the xbone platoon want to try Sea of Thieves? I'm in the technical alpha and it has an 'invite friends' option

Wow, are people still playing this casual piece of crap on PC?

I've tried it at a friend's house, and found it way way way too consolized. It just feels really arcade, boring and repetitive... It was clearly made for dumb console players. I mean, you see who their audience when they put an american nigger on the cover... and don't even feature the most important country (France) in the vanilla game. Like, wtf?

The graphics are really good though. But the console feeling is too much of a joke for me to play that crap.

Enjoy your game, dumb cunts.

And keep thinking that niggers from the U.S had anything to do in WWI... pathetic.

Do we know if there going to combine the two random maps into an operation? That'd be dope

Hey pcbros--how're the new maps? Really looking forward to both of them

>>176054325
Bf2: Project Reality 2?

Insurgency (the actual hl2 mod not the standalone)?

Red Orchestra 2 (and Vietnam soon)?

Day of Infamy (didn't try it, but read it's not too bad)?

Verdun 14-18 (which came out way before bf1)?

And so on...

If you keep pre-ordering games and buying all the DLCs, the devs will keep making casual shit games.

How does platoon work?

Does it show all the members playing on a server or does it only show one member for each server?

And is there a limit to how many servers the platoon screen shows?

>only 26 hours until I find out if I get lucky and get a new medal to work on

5/39 is not great odds, but at least I got one this week, so hopefully something new will come up.

And the best part is none of the ones left could possibly be worse than Legion of Sacred Unity.

>>176058864
it shows the number of members on the server with a few of their names.

that i've seen, there is no limit to the number of servers it shows.

I'm trying to get the Rush mode medal but I just cant get 5 plants. I'm too used to playing operations.

>>176060098

I main Conquest so that was a bit hard for me too.

I didn't have any real strategy for it beyond running in, diving prone, and trying to at least get an arm before getting killed.

I suggest getting to the farther objective from the bulk of the enemy team the second the new objectives come up, that was at least 3 of my plants.

Keep plugging away at it, it's far from the hardest medal I've completed. You'll get there for sure by 8:00 tomorrow.

Defending as Germans on Hardcore Rush with a MG15 is pure bliss tbqh

>>176060418
If there's a deadlock around one mcom, the other one often has noone guarding it. Just head over there and plant. Then some of the enemies will run over to you, allowing the rest of your team to plant on the first mcom.

Play domination or war pigeons so you only have to deal with 12 players at a time max. Headshots are instakills at the ranges you'll be shooting on the smaller maps. I hated it at first too but it works great if you use it as a designated marksman rifle.
The Huot on the other hand is 100% shit from a butt with zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.

>>176090046
>Changes to bayonet charge:

>Activated aiming speed modifier during prepare state as well as charge state. This means a player can rotate a maximum of 50 degrees during the prepare state. Also added an input modifier disabling strafe while charging.

>Adding subtle boost to 3P footsteps when bayonet charging to increase threat awareness. Boosted volume of Enemy VO for Bayonet Charge when close to player.

>Slightly reduced maximum turn rate while charging.

>Removed damage reduction while in charge. Weapons will now hit charging players for normal damage.

i appreciate the suggestions, but i played most of them, some of them are fun, but not exactly what im looking for.

i want a team oriented class based shooter, where you play as a team, every class has its own specific role, and most importantly, combined arms, i want a good mix of infantry and vehicular warfare..
not your run of the mill 10v10 infantry only shooters
not too arcadey and casual but not a milsim/realistic either, something in between, exactly where battlefield games used to fit in, unfortunately they aged like shit so thats a no go.

a battlefield 2 or 2142 with todays graphics, sound design, animations etc would be appreciated, but its not gonna happen.

i have my eyes on rising storm vietnam but it only features helicopters, no ground vehicles, no naval warfare, not to mention it looks cheaply made, obviously they're on a tight budget.
i don't even play bf1 that much, i just like to stick around here for some reason.

Nothing is worth it in terms of what? Depth? Complexity? Fun?

It wasn't. The number of times you would be aiming directly at a guy and still miss him because he'd moved an inch to the side, leaving you running helplessly in a circle was incredible.

I can't find an Operations game at all unless I queue for Oil of Empires

Anyone ever experience a hitreg session bug? In this game I am currently in I can't damage people with firearms, only explosives and melee.
Like I can sneak up on a sniper, shoot him 20 times in the back doing no damage, then knife him.
And it isn't just that I'm not getting hitmarkers, I'm not doing any damage at all and can see them at 100% after I magdump their back and they turn around and kill me.

It's following me between one operation session, too. It started before the first map ended, and it is continuing on the second map.
