my ps4 experience is that the game is good during the fleeting momenets when i can actually get on a server and its not lagged to poo poo.

I haven't played bf betas/demos since the bf2 so i dont know how hopefull to be that they resolve this stuff for the launch?

It takes them like a year after launch to make the game relatively playable and fair, but it's fun as hell for those 6-9 months before they nerf the fun stuff.

OTOH, if it's anything like BFH, if they only listen to the 'community' on reddit it'll be borderline unplayable the whole time and snipers will be untouchable god-kings.

For example, in BF4, they made it so you couldn't shoot UCAVs into bases anymore after enough basecamping sniper babbies complained. and the anti-tank mines used to do a ton of damage, until tanklords complained and they nerfed the damage, plus gave the mines a bright red flashing light on night maps because scanning the area around you for danger is too much to ask. Same with C4, it has to basically be touching the target to do full damage.

Meanwhile, there are still spots on certain maps where k/d whores can glitch into the landscape for a one-way bullet screen that still haven't been fixed.

Went 27-1 the other day in a light. That canister shot makes it a murder machine.

As long as you keep rolling the controls aren't too terrible. Everytime I stopped it took forever to get pointed to where I wanted to go.

Is that the thing where you can't change the weapons on vehicles unless there are free ones at the spawn? Because that's dumb as hell.

I hope they leave the ability to change FOV settings in, not having that blindspot just off to the side is a game changer.

Yes, plus I would rather have set vehicle types per a side rather than picking your vehicle model every spawn. Even though dice is dumb at balance and does crap like one side with three planes and the other with just an aa vehicle. Also I like stuff spawning at the points instead of only appearing if you sit on spawn screen and pick it

I have a feeling tanks will feel more balanced when the full game is out and everyone realizes that the Assault class actually has an AT launcher. Right now everyone tries to counter tanks by running up to them with the AT grenades, and that uh... doesn't work.

The heavy tank moves a bit fast and the canister shot on the light tank needs a range nerf.

Once I unlocked the AT missile we started popping tanks. Also if you stay in the city area in conquest grenades, dynamite and at mines are effective.

I think Sinai is just an awful rush map.

Dearest Esmeralda,

I write to you from the battlefield on this arid day upon the sandy dunes. My squad was able to grab a land ship and wreck thine noobs for many hours before we became stuck on an artillery placement.

Many laughs and guffaws were to be had, despite a few doughboys sulking in the corner because we weren't being serious in that moment. I took care of the issue with my munitions, but received a grievous wound in the process. My brother in arms, Bernard, took care of the wound and we were able to stay merry in this dark days. The shimmer of hope that we owned the noobish Turks was all we needed to keep going.

Enemies are to be had from within our regiments, however, and they feel as if our joyous hoots are a detriment to our effort in the great war. All that we can hope is that the ruffians grow up and understand that the Bone Krew will persevere.

Sincerely and with deepest regards,
SSGT Turtleneck

Sinai sort of requires way more coordination and thinking than most pubbie teams are capable of; some objectives you need to make use of gas and smoke grenades to cover your advances, and others you need to use flame grenades to make sure they don't arm/disarm the objective.

Also if you aren't horsing around then you're not defending well.

Flamethrower pick up kit is amazing for defending rush points. Also it's hilarious to preserve a tank as an attacker past where the defenders get tanks of their own. Easy kills and nothing they can do if you stay out of grenade range

Yeah, yesterday I holed up in a house near C and picked dudes of with my LMG. Tripwires to secure the exit and I managed to stay alive a long time. Until the building got leveled ofcourse :) Man, this game is great.

27-0 with the artillery version of the light tank on rush. I joined at the second set of telegraphs so I know I can do better. The artillery version is very strong against armor and personnel. You also get a machine gun and a smoke screen for escape. There's also a quick repair ability on a cool down that will heal you for twenty so I was able to just run away from anyone trying to kill me. I think I prefer it to the normal version.

Only downside is the main gun has some serious drop so you have to aim pretty high even at close targets.

That was a Chinese fire drill dude and also putting a tank on top of c means that people can hit you with grenades from every angle and don't act like we weren't at the top of the boards every time for caps anyway it's just suicide to get a land whale stuck on top of a C

Is there no way of dealing with a tank if you don't have the rocket gun, aside from attempting to predict it's path with mines or getting danger close with dynamite?

On conquest there is an anti tank rifle pick up at E that is very strong. The artillery guns do solid damage as well but they can't be repaired so I just destroy them straight away when I'm tanking.

The MG15 N.A. Suppressive is good once you get using the bipod down, and the bipod works really well compared to BF4.

But you really have to play mid range and post up with some cover. It feels like a genuine support roll compared to running and gunning with an MG4 or M249.

This tracked medal business is for the birds.

E; that you have to specify which medal you're after, then do the steps in order is ridiculous. 8 kills in a row with the SMG seems insane to me; the best i could do was 11, but that included using mines to fry a fully loaded heavy tank, then heaving a tank grenade perfectly through a window to nail like 4 snipers at once.

Also it seems they've gotten rid of the mini map showing you where enemies are firing. So good luck because pubbies never use the spot button :thumbsup:
