I wish the camera was pulled up a smidge when you are on the horse, at times your model can completely obfuscate what you are aiming at and the gun on the horse isn't exactly something you can pop off randomly with. That said though, horses loving own.

Besides the weird display bugs the beta is pretty fun. The only thing getting to me are how badly prepared any team is to take out tanks unless you are full assaults with rocket guns. Some guy in a land ship just parked on C and locked it down for half a game tonight. The smart thing to do would be to go anywhere else, but with no death penalty I just kept throwing grenades at him and laying down trip mines and resupplying myself until someone K bulleted the tank to death.

So I tried to figure out more stuff with defense points. I still have never seen a defense bonus for kills. So no clue about that. But if you are a squad leader and set a point you own to defend, a timer will appear. Its 60 seconds and at the end of it you get 300 points. The odd thing is that it doesn't start ticking down again unless you set a new command and then set the command order back to the point your on and then you can get another +300 defense bonus. All in all defending is a fools errand.

I don't know if this is true, but if ribbons only make progress when they're selected as "tracked" I'll be so upset. A lot of fun after playing tons of hours of BF4 was chasing random ribbons. Now I can track a single one that makes progress? Sincerely hoping it's just beta weirdness and not a 'feature.'

Game is good, make no mistake, but it feels like it falls somewhere between 1942 and battlefield 3-4 on the fun factor. Its no wake island. If its WWI, were there really so many automatic guns in everyone's hands? I was expecting slightly slower paced combat, more bolt action rifles. I guess they have to appease the children these days with huge explosions and instant action, every gun shooting massive tracers. Its too bad there is not a classic game mode where things are slowed down a bit (example, actually having to get in a jeep and drive a bit to get to the action or point). I understand some people want non-stop drop your panties action. Maybe hardcore mode will feel better

I can't describe how incredible it is to put on the heavy armor and then get a horse. I am a proud English knight in (mostly) shining armor, striking down the turkish menace with my blessed saber. It's fantastic seeing snipers panic as you charge at them, their shots barely doing any damage. Cavalry is just really fun in general.

I get defensive bonuses all the time, bonus zone us 2x the cap radius. A single def kill can be worth more than 400 points easy so uh yeah your still wrong. But keep on not defending since it's more easy wins for me and my teams. The bonus extends even farther with squad orders.

this game is alright for a beta but lol tanks are very overpowered and the open map they used attracts snipers like flies. unfortunately this game is objectively worse than Hardline for a number of reasons, the biggest one being there is no hotwire

Time limit for Conquest needs to be way longer. I've not had a single match end due to score, it's always running out of time.Ra-amun posted:Where do you get the armor at and also where are these guys getting flamethrowers from? Heavy armor + MG spawns at objective F, flamethrower is at objective B, AT rifle is at objective E.

Way I see it is that there are hundreds of cool guns out there that will never get used in games if you were to be super strict about the time period. Verdun's $10 on Steam right now if you want something super faithful.

I played and like it earlier but I got 30 very badly fluctuating frames at modest settings on a 970. I was confused until I just learned 42% render scale is native. What the Christ DICE? Why would you do that. I could've said gently caress the game because of that

Is there any particular technique to using the planes anti-infantry bombs? I can never seem to hit anything with them, so I'm not sure I'm even aiming at the right place or releasing at the right time. There doesn't even seem to be any sort of sound or visual effect of them going off, at least for the pilot, so I can't even tell when they hit.

The tracers are there for gameplay reasons so you can get feedback on where you're shooting, so you don't have to spend twenty minutes zeroing your rifle sights for the ultimate tacticlol experience. When has Battlefield ever had anything other than "non-stop action"?

The canister round on the light tank is BF3 canister shell all over again, except this time you don't even need to leave the tank to repair.

There doesn't even seem to be any sort of sound or visual effect of them going off, at least for the pilot, so I can't even tell when they hit. They scatter over a fairly large radius so go for low altitude bombing runs on antenna. I saw someone racking up multikills just strafing train and antenna.

So there may be an unconfirmed bug with class progression. A bunch of people are reporting that it may be the case that when you play match on a server, any following match will not count to class progression, which is why nobody has Rocket Guns and tanks are tearing poo poo up. Somewhat related, I finally got the Benet Mercie with a scope and it finally made LMGs useful to me. The lovely irons on the LMGs made it hard to tell where my rounds were going, but the scope makes it easier which is a godsend. Plan Z fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Aug 31, 2016 |
