Knifegrab: Jul 30, 2014; Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.

Bayonetting people is so fun that I often just waited in dark corners for people to bayonet instead of actually playing the round

This game is really fun, but between the connection issues and the memory leak issue (that apparently was in Battlefield 4 and :dice:

never fixed it?) I can't really enjoy myself. I have to reset the game every few matches and can't reconnect.

Guess I'll check back in a day or so. I'd hate to have to play this on PS4.

What are the differences between the weapons of the same name? Sharpshooter vs Rifleman I'm guessing is a scope but what about the 10-A Heavy vs Factory?

The 10-A heavy has a medium range scope and it hurts out to there. It's pretty nuts since it's good up close and at a decent distance.

Uninstalled. Oh my God. This sucks. On top of all the issues I brought up the last thread being right on the money, it's incredibly telling that the map they chose for the beta- the very first impression BF1 gets to make on a public scale- is a much smaller and much worse version of BF3's Bandar Desert.

So yeah I guess it turns out that my preconceived notions about this game were entirely correct. I got a better impression from the DOOM MP beta.

So long

I'll admit, actually, I was wrong about it being a BF4 reskin. I wish that was the case. It's more like a Battlefront reskin.

I saw another cavalryman in the distance and he charged at me with his horse, saber drawn.

I shot him with the lever action. :clint:

Did I break the cardinal rules of horse dueling??

I do like the music. It is very calming to listen to whilst being told about the whole lost contact to the servers thing.

So what is the general strategy when you get WW1 Heavy Weapons Guy in this map? Just party on down in the Village and and lurk about the houses?

There are some noticeable faults with the game, mainly the glaring worthlessness of the medic class (in Conquest, anyway), but this game doesn't really play like Battlefront at all. The vehicle system is as different as night and day, the gun selection is way more numerous, no bullshit star cards giving you round-specific perks, there are no heroes... what are you on about? Was Oblivion a reskin of Morrowind or Skyrim a reskin of Oblivion? You seem to be really reaching in an attempt to poo poo on this game for reasons unknown. Do you want to show us on this doll where DICE touched you?

I hope they don't charge, if they do those monsters never saw Warhorse.

I would buy a DLC if Stephen Fry was doing his best General Melchett impressions though.

I'm not a fan of this ticketless Conquest. I gave it a try, most of the times games awkwardly end with the time running out and nobody actually accomplishing anyway. Great post modern poke at that actual war, but really sort of rubbish for gameplay.

I know people were complaining about support class stuff last night, but that class is great if you are willing to accept some beatings at close range. Dropping trip mines is going to get you free kills, grenades and mines restock right away when you toss down ammo, the guns aren't bad so long as you remember tap firing won't work in this one.

The key to destroying the train quickly is to lie prone underneath the broken one at D, throw a grenade, press 4, repeat. Support rules. :ssh:

Alternatively, set a bomber up to drop fire and just lay it on the track towards A or G when Mr. Conductor & Co. try to cap.
