I have a few others that are mainly me mashing down the screenshot key to get multiple frames of an explosion for the best one. I can't wait for release so we have new maps and we have the optimization to flying around at ultra/200% supersampling at higher than 5fps.

Naturally Selected posted:Peep dat skill rating, brah. What does it mean? I think it's a simple Elo type of deal. Whenever you kill a dude it compares his skill rating with yours, and the higher his was in comparision to yours the more skill you gain. Whenever you get killed you lose more skill the lower your killer's rating was compared to yours. Since it's only keyed off of kills rather than score my rating usually tanks when playing conquest (average of about 200) but is goes way up in domination (closer to ~400).

From my experience assuming I'm an alright player who mostly did CQ in the last game, 400 plus is as pretty good watermark for whether someone's legit or not after a hundred hours.

teagone posted:So it's not some sort of "pay-to-win" type situation? I guess my main concern is that everyone will be playing the expansion content, have like everything unlocked by paying for it, and as such have newer items/guns/vehicles/etc. that I won't have access to, and ultimately would lead to empty servers for those with just the vanilla content. Premium really isn't pay to win. It does give you access to all the DLC, which is awesome. In BF3 Premium did give you a bunch more assignments with their own unlocks, but those unlocks were dogtags, gun camos (which make no real difference at all), and one soldier camo that looked very similar to a bunch of other camos, and weren't anything special. The DLCs were slightly different. Those did give assignments that let you unlock guns, that could only be obtained through those DLC assignments. In my opinion, about 61 out of 20 of those were 'good' weapons. 1 was nerfed into the ground in a subsequent patch. But while they were good, the vanilla guns were still extremely competitive. The 'Best' gun throughout was the M16A3, which was the starting gun for the US team, and could be easily unlocked for use by the Russians as well, all within the normal course of the game. And again, that's not Premium specific, it's DLC specific, which is slightly different. Overall, the single most important thing involved in battlefield is understanding the maps, and your ability to aim; these are things no DLC will buy you. 1The L85A2, AUG-A3, SPAS, MP5K, MTAR, and the FAMAS, which was the one nerfed to death.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

That really irks me though. The premium or expansion guns in the majority of cases were just useless. They felt like a waste of money if I didn't get the maps.

The JNG-90 doesn't seem all that special in any particular category. And the M417 is pretty sweet I guess, but not really all that different from the M39, but with a significantly shittier spread, assuming I'm reading Symthic correctly. I certainly saw a lot of other people using it, but I was never one for the recon class, and have basically no first hand experience beyond grinding the unending stream of L96 assignments because why not.

As someone who plays an engineer 99% of the time, having a recon that actually locks targets is so satisfying. I don't know how many points they get for killing a full transport helo, but it's great camping the buildings near A and blowing that thing up the second it gets to altitude.

You get a ton of points if you laser designate a target that subsequently gets shot multiple times. For instance, lock on to a chopper and your friendly attack helicopter starts shooting it, every single hit they do is 50 points to you, then you get another 100 when it blows up. You also get 25 points for designating a target. Meanwhile if you lock on to a transport helicopter, your friend shoots it down with the RPG, you get 175 points for your effort and he gets something like 6 kills and the vehicle destruction/multikill bonuses. So yeah, it varies. But in my experience, the former counterweights the latter. Even just locking onto a tank while engineers shoot it with RPGs is enough to give you several hundred points. For the first time ever, I felt like recon was actually the most fun class because of how rewarding the PLD is to use with a half competent team, squad or buddy.

JNG-90 have a really high bulletspeed and low cycletime making it one of the best bolt actions, and the M417 is a hipfire monster with good midrange utility making it a beast in almost all situations. If you only look at the symthic stats for the ¤optimal¤ gun instead of actually using them, you will miss out on a lot of great guns. The G53 looks cool as hell so it got that going for it.

Speaking of bulletspeeds, is it just me or are the projectiles of sniper rifles and especially DMRs kind of on the low side? With the first DMR it felt like I had to lead by a huge amount and have like half a second flight time even on medium distances, to the point where I generally had a much easier time hitting a moving target with just the standard AK.

Yes, bulletspeed for high damage single shots seems to have taken a big hit, and the gains from the new heavy barrel seemed less significant to me. Not a good combination. Though zeroing will make obnoxiously long range sniping more common so it might be a positive thing overall.

Trees are still huge assholes in this, I got a MRAP stuck in a small branch and just couldn't move the car at all, the cars should give zero gently caress about stuff on the ground, if you hit anything the cars just go flying like they are made of helium.

It was next to D and I spawned under it, and wondered why the hell my screen was constantly shaking and I was taking little bits of damage all the time. There was a boat dropping over me and exploding like every two seconds. My friend went to dance underneath it and got killed. Was impossible to defend D as my screen was shaking non-stop. It was like this, but over land: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ONxUrbOj4
