If you are a squad leader, it is your moral obligation to hold down Q and move your mouse left repeatedly.

If people hit Q in general that'd be great. Had a game where I was the only person spotting on my team.

Plan Z posted: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. I've probably played a dozen games or so and during my last game, my support class upgraded. It happened the same game I decided to blow war bonds getting some new weapons. Maybe you don't get class upgrades until you unlock a new weapon for that class...? Thanks to whoever brought up getting heavy armor and then getting on a horse. I went straight for a full squad trying hard and they took out my horse when I was about 15 feet away. Getting back up and slowly walking towards them while unleashing fiery death was a great feeling. Now to find some scouts and ruin their day.

Played scout for a while. The periscope is great for long-range support if you're a lovely sniper like me. Still can't figure out how the flare gun works. I think it's only supposed to show blips on your minimap, but do they have to have LOS to the flare or is it just radius-based? Hasn't seemed very helpful so far.

I can totally see this map being not played that much at launch. Most of it is empty space with one honeypot point at C. I get the feeling it'll be like F on Golmud where everyone who knows better just ignores it for the other points.

It's like a wizball in all respects, I steal kits and fire them into houses to light up enemies through walls constantly. There's a second variant which "blinds" insomuch it adds lots of bloom in a small area. Lazyfire posted:I can totally see this map being not played that much at launch.

It really isn't a good map to show off battlefield. E is so easy to neutralise because only a few players will respond, making it easy to kill off resistance using a horse. Every point outside of the town is constantly being ninjacapped by clowncars or paradrop.

Making this the public beta map was a terrible decision and will cost them a bunch of sales. I'm only 2 hours in and don't really feel like playing anymore, it's so bad.

Ah, hell, I think the reason it hasn't worked very well for me is because I've been firing it way up into the air like you normally do with a flare gun  I guess I'll try shooting it at the enemy next time.

Unless a meteor hits the earth and ends all life, then it'll probably go on to be the top earning BF game. People will give them hundreds of dollars each for the game, and expansions, and season packs, and unlock packs.

Also how does the train work, do you have to cap a specific thing or is it a "you're losing too hard, here have this!". The tips video didn't explain it. e: also I hope there's a rolling map like that one unreal tournament map where it's one team on the train and then the other trying to take it out before it reaches a certain point. ijyt fucked around with this message at 11:01 on Aug 31, 2016 |

It'll eventually set them on fire which can kill injured players. ijyt posted:Also how does the train work, do you have to cap a specific thing or is it a "you're losing too hard, here have this!".

It's a your loosing badly bonus for getting spanked hard. If you load it with a coordinated squad it can win you the match assuming you have more than 50 tickets to go it can make for good comebacks but between the timer and the enemy team holding any points can make comebacks not work. There is still some tweaking to do to the game modes timer and how flags give points. But dice has said they are aware and will be changing the numbers a bit.

Holy poo poo grabbing the heavy armor and a horse is the best thing ever. Nobody expects a full blown knight to charge them. I love this game. Also shotguns feel really powerful!

They really pick the worst possible maps to but betas on. The British spawn is is really open and if you sit on the rocks at G you have clear sight lines to pick off people spawning there.

GiantHurtBall posted:There's no way they'll leave the FT-17 unchanged...its a murder machine. Why not? Most if the anti vehicle stuff is still locked for 90% or more of the players. Once people get anti vehicle gadgets and more players learn that they can shoot planes with small arms then they can tell if something is actually op. Plus this is a actual beta not a demo, lots of poo poo will change. edit load, spend war bucks ext here offline https://www.battlefield.com/en-gb/career

can the recoiless rifle pick up actually kill tank drivers? It seems more like it just plinks some damage off a tank. I dunno if its the lack of unlocks yet or what but playing antitank is a pain in the rear end. I know people liked C4ing tanks but 'run towards the tank' has never been my go to anti tank strategy in battlefield

Anyone know a magic trick to make the vehicle keybinds work? I've changed movement to ESDF, use/enter/exit to T etc. and now every time I hop into a car and try to accelerate I jump out and look like an idiot. It doesn't help that my use key is what puts the gas mask on originally because every time I jump into a vehicle I instantly have the mask on my face. So the game somehow uses the default binds for vehicles it's kinda ruining the game for me. How in the hell do you gently caress up key binding in tyol 2016?

The tank gewehr pickup on the other hand will cycle seven shots and blow up a landship before it can even rotate around to fire.

Uh yeah you have to change all the key binding sets. Just go through the tabs and set you binds. There is literally a tab that says "vehicle". They don't have one set of key binds for everything and haven't since bfbc1. I'm sorry I just don't know how you spent that much time in the keybindings menu and didn't see there is like 5 differnt sets of key binds separated by category. Edit really I am not trying to be a dick or anything, just a bit confused.

Open battlefield and it will make a new one. Then close battlefield reenable cloud save and when it asks say use local. One of these two should get you sorted.
