kys, shit thread

anyone else got game lagging during operation intros ? I got 1060 and run game otherwise on ultra just fine but operation cinematics start lagging as fuck and then they replay really fast.

>>158277218
is this a new meme?

>>158277302
anyone else dropping out of every second game due to server loss?

So am I the only one where the graphics drivers shit themselves? Had 4 or 5 crashes yesterday. And I updated the drivers on thursday I think. Checked yesterday again but there were no new ones. Got an nVidia 980.

>tfw you drive the party bus tank into the point and passenger bonuses start rolling in

Why are the menus laggy on PS4? how is this acceptable?

>still playing this shit

LMAO

>no report button
>no mute button
>The chat was spammed with "TRUMP 2016" by 4 people on the enemy team for the entire game

If the attackers win on the first operation map does it count as win? Or do they have to win them all?

Well I will never get a win on offense, might as well play defense. Thats bullshit, why dont they just make it where each map counts as it own game, its already a tough time winning a single map.

>>158277886
I'm assuming that it would work the same as it does in battlefront, you have to click on their name in the score sheet and report them through origin,

>>158278521
Yeah because CoD kids don't want to ruin their shitty irrelevant WR statistic or have a nice fair, well fought match.

Wish there was a White Feather forced metal for these cowards they could never remove.

>>158278076
My medic went from 6 to 3 and assault went from 9 to ten which is strange as scout stayed at 10 and i have many more points playing assault.

>>158278354
>>158278521
my team loses 80% of games since BF3

>>158278486
I dont care that much about stats but I would at least like to be rewarded. If anything how it works now is indulging stat whores, you can defend and be guaranteed a win and plenty of points, or attack and guarantee a loss even if you have been putting work in. At least the mode is pretty fun attack or defense, but fuck the desert op.

Zeppelin is pretty good. Specially if they don't realize they can snipe you out of the gondolas.

I cant kill shit in this game, In any other FPS normally destroy the other team with a k/d ratio of 2-3

In this one my games are 2 - 8 for example, what the fuck is happening /vg/

>>158279882
the train and the zep are fine, the dreadnought needs some more counters like giving the other team a bunch of torpedo boats

Unlock it. Every vehicle has variants you can unlock.

>>158280573
select the tank icon on the spawn screen when one is available. you can then select the type of vehicle. select the artillery truck, enter the loadout and you can equip the flak cannon.

>>158281221

>try play operations

>>158281221
Operations is pretty unbalanced right now. Should have more attacker tickets. And it should show up on the server browser. I keep getting in games that are almost over. In addition, it's almost impossible to get battlepacks. After every operation you get sent to main menu. So it's impossible to join an op from the first second which is required for battlepack drops. Gotta be honest, I don't like the new battlepack mechanic.

They work as great way to create more excitement in the match
Even if the battleship does not kill many when it shoots, it makes things more hectic

>>158281454
that does suck

>>158281610
I like how they're balanced, it's a real challenge for attackers, so what if you don't win? you aren't intended to win often as attackers, it's to see how far you can go

I go into the games expecting defense to always win, but the games are still fun

>>158278354
Kek my win rate is 61% and I don't even think I'm much of a team player

what are they waiting on for the patch notes? their community manager really should be shot

>>158281834
I actually like them but they feel pretty strong most of the time with very little counter options.

>>158281980
Probably right. The animation is fucking dumb yeah.

>>158282158
I don't mind losing. I'm not a stat whore and wouldn't be any good at it even if I tried. It's just frustrating that you get fuck all progress sometimes. And without being able to win, you will never get to play the second map. So that's even a slight downside for defenders. But who knows. DICE will probably try to balance it at some point.

are all scout rifles same ? Like the starting scout rifle and their rank 10 rifle got exact same stats so whats the point

What? There wouldn't have been any significant number of black people in a battle between Britain and austro-hungary in Europe in the first world war. The game for some reason depicts it as 1/5 of each team being black. That's higher than the fraction of black people in the fucking USA right now. The point is that they have blatantly inserted them to pander to blacks, which is ridiculous.

Mostly asking about the rifles, you know if it feels any different from playing the other BFs and perhaps a bit more like RO2 or something with how automatics shouldn't be too common.

I know it's an old discussion but the Beta didn't help me much to decide on whether or not to pay 60.- for a BF game when 2 and 2142 are free.

Is it just me, or did that patch fuck with the gameplay a bit?

I exclusively play medic, I have been destroying people in every match, always MVP when it comes to kills, heals, revives, squad etc, but today since the patch, i've become very very shitty. I don't know if I'm just having a bad day or it's the patch or what, but a lot of my shots aren't registering, my accuracy is shit, it makes no sense. Was the M Storm rifle nerfed?

>>158281221

>>158283058

Second best thing are retards who just don't get it and get super fucking upset.

or maybe it was a fucky bug because I haven't been able to do it again.

I just throw down the sniper shield and stick a dummy in it and all the enemy snipers go fucking nuts on it, best distraction.

Is the game actually worth buying or is it a glitchy shit fest at the moment like BF4 was and I should wait until a decent sale of the game bundled with premium before I buy it

>>158286579
defending one objective the enemy team isn't even going for by standing up on the hill picking people off. It's technically defending but it's not needed there and most of the time the enemy just kills that sniper and takes the point anyway. Some random sniper on a hill going 30:5 doesn't influence the match in any way, while some shitter going 10:30 capping objectives does.

>>158287105
>Autoloading 8
the 5 round one? Don't do it guys, I bought it and it's my most played weapon because I kept spending my war bonds on other things, instead of a new medic gun. It's a shit gun, reload is long as fuck if you don't fire the whole clip, but firing the whole clip is inevitable because it's only 5 rounds, don't buy any medic gun that has less than 10 rounds in one magazine/clip.

Wait wait looking on symthic it seems like a few of the scout snipers can kill with a single shot between the ranges of like 60-90 yards

Like they climb from 80 damage at 0 yards to 100 then drop off....

What the fuck is going on with that shit, how does that even work, and if that is real then that promotes the same bullshit mid range sniper crap that made them OP in bf4 where everyone ran recon just for easy kills

I just wish the Allies would wear gloves, thanks to those I can play german sniper no problem

I cant stand looking at those negroid hands when playing brits

Wait, Im at school. Did DICE really reset everyone's class rank?

>>158287274
yeah, every sniper has a oneshot sweetspot

as if sniping wasn't easy enough already

>>158287097

they are both 3 kill shots while mondragon has only 10 rounds

marksman version is really good, accurate too at distances which I personally didn't expect because it already excels on all the other things that make medic guns good.

If you have the spare war bonds I'd say just try it out. I'm being pretty succesfull with it.

ftfy

>>158287424

Except flares suck, use K bullets for armor targets and the periscope as a spotting tool

Then you are invaluable to team if you play the role of recon vs just a sniper trying to get kills the flare gun is junk

>>158287424
I dont even know how they work. There were enemies like 300 meters away from me and I fired one flare directly at them and second over their head. It did not spot shit

>>158287750
maybe try looking at the minimap

>>158287583
but flares allow you to get close and help the team rather than squat behind cover and peek out

>>158287750
>>158287583
I want to say you guys are bullshitting, but considering how few flares I see fired..

The flare gun is an AoE continuous spotting tool based on where it lands, it ALSO shortly spots people that it flies over, but you need to shoot the flare so it lands where you want the spotting circle to occur.

It is one of the strongest things in the game.

>>158287915

Getting close is not your job as recon, you take out priority targets and snipers, give supporting fire, spot, allow for spawning at a forward offensive

Flares just are not as useful compared to k bullets and parascope

>>158287947

>It is one of the strongest things in the game

Compared to the parascope which autospots anything you are looking at, and does not cost ammo or run the risk of giving away your position?

Good one

If you're playing close with a friend squad using an unscoped bolt action you're one of the most annoying things in the game.

You shoot any enemy in the chest and your teammates with higher rates of fire will immediately finish them off if you didn't.

>>158288576

Maybe

And I know what it does, it sometimes has a use, but the periscope has no ammo and does not get you spotted out if you fire it, the flare gun just is not AS useful is all I am saying

>>158288578

No one is this retarded, go back to playing hardcore mode on bf4 if you just want an instant kill stick, or play assault with a shotgun, but using a scout class like an assault class is just really really stupid and nowhere near as useful as using it as a scout helping out the team vs his kd ratio

>>158288694

Depends on how you look at it, assaults job is to rush into the objective and kill without being killed, it is very straightforward and requires skill but little thinking unless you are really coordinating with others, whereas playing a scout properly as a scout instead of an assault guy with a one shit rifle like that other retard wants to do is a bit more involving, you stay in cover and find snipers or other guys hiding in the objective so you can give supporting fire, you also spot things out and try to feed info to your team and friends, it is a very broad sort of roll to play where you need to keep an eye on everything

>>158288871
the flare is so much more powerful than the periscope, large radius autospot for a pretty lengthy amount of time will secure a point much better than you manually spotting people (and not firing your weapon at all)

it doesn't matter how close you play your scout or how incapable you are of hitting targets quickly at closer to medium ranges, the flare will be more supportive to you and your team

>>158291527

I hit level 10 as support yesterday. All I do is spam ammo pouches at people and run from objective to objective, always on the move and contesting points.

Also mortars are situational but extremely powerful. I highly suggest you git gud with airburst mortars, and note you can resupply your mortar and its ammo with your own pouches (although there is a delay to prevent spamming, just spawn a pouch and sit on it for a minute)

grenades and gadgets supply last after all primary and handgun ammo is full.

Reminder that assault should use fast melee weapons because hipfire is better at close range and you are more likely to kill them with a fast melee hit after since hipfire brought them to low hp.
All other classes use heavy

>>158294716
it's basically a series of maps with some historical tidbits woven in as intros for each map

each map is divided up into sectors consisting of 2-3 flags, all need to be held by the attacking team at the same time in order to be able to push to the next sector

has stuff like behemoths help the attackers if a wave fails or the defenders if they straight up lose all sectors

cool stuff, very condensed action which results in absolute chaos

how people still havent learned to throw down ammo and medbags sporadically is beyond me. and when i see medics ignoring halfdead mates literally in front of them im beginning to wonder if bf1 introduced hidden crossmatching with console players

Playing scout in tdm with flares, incendiary or gas traps, and the 1903 experimental. It's surprisingly fun

They got the Elder Scrolls treatment and were filed under "fancyful portraits of how the lore could be interpreted".

Moustaches are a sexist relic of the past. Come on, it's 2016.

>>158296447

And now leaving a match after it is over leads to an endless hangup loading screen - to load back into a fucking Menu. +5 minutes of it.

I forgot how godawful inept Dice is.

Try disabling the Nvidia geforce experience overlay. I still get crashes but it's much rarer.

>use first wave of reinforcments to beat st. Georges map
>have all reinforcments for amine

So does that mean we are going to win?

>Kill one guy, get shot from behind because squad spawn is retarded
>Spawn on point into getting run over by a horse
Amazing game

>geforce experience overlay

Most of the soldiers just look like young men, which is fitting I guess. Wouldn't mind if the older looking Ottomen at least got mustaches though

I think it was what, IGN? That said "The most authentic battlefield game ever." in their review. Are you fucking kidding me?

>The new game mode, in 100% of the faction pictures it's fucking race war bullshit
>US vs Germany? Black Vs White
>UK Vs Germany? Black Vs White
>UK vs Ottoman empire? BLACK VS WHITE

>Italy vs Austro-Hungaria? White on White
"But that's not race bait!" You might say. But let's get this straight. Italy and Austria-Hungary were BOTH CENTRAL POWERS until the end of the war when Italy joined the allies. So you can argue that Sweden is saying "Well, Italy was bad until the end of the war, so they're villains. MAKE THEM WHITE." Even though Italians have "olive skin" they're represented as German-white.

The entire game seems to be pushing an "Us vs Them" bullshit, where "Us" is the people who hate white people and "them" is everybody white.

Take the "Oil of Empires" operation. When it's over, the narrator says shit about how they "Might have been able to preserve their races and ethnicities." Like are you fucking kidding? That's the political agenda they decide to SPECULATE ABOUT in the little bit of "real" information they give during the RP bullshit at the end of the operation?

Part 1/2

Games should stop showing K/D by pressing tab, honestly- or at least make it an advanced option that isn't immediately shown

what it does is turn people into retards who play way too safe and pat themselves on the back when they lose with a 20/9 K/D

>young men, which is fitting enough I guess

young men on the front aren't going to have ready access to nice clean razors though

You will have no (You)s from me sir.

I hate that damn program. Bloatware they installed with the threat of not being able to play BF1 without it, intrusive and it fucking changed my sound system to their drivers (which meant until I changed it back - twice now, I had no audio).

Maybe redownload it? Search for it?
