Unpopular opinion zone, but I wish they'd do what they did in BF42 and limit the number of snipers per team. When half your team is sniping rather than taking objectives, the game gets rather old.

I've been having a great time, but I really hope they release Scar. I enjoyed it a lot in the Alpha, and I'm worried I'm gonna burn myself out. I'm 15 hours in, and one map is probably gonna get old. My favourite medic gun is now the Mondragon Marksman. It's fun to outsnipe snipers. The game is really quite glitchy, but I have faith that the worst ones will be squished. Shadowplay is great for capturing all the little treats. https://gfycat.com/CarefulInfatuatedEastrussiancoursinghounds

So, Light Anti-Tank Grenades are surprisingly beefy considering the "light" part of their name. Playing support has been easier since I can throw one, instantly restock it with an ammo pack, and just keep spamming them.

I sincerely hope you can't piece-by-piece customize your weapons because this layout seems perfect for actual balance to keep every weapon usefu.As far as sniping in concerned, it will get better over time. Sniping is fun (and I hate that recon exists at all) but I don't find them actually that threatening. To be honest grab the Gewehr Rifleman and run at points should to shoulder firing flash or spot flares and provide med range support. Has a virtually instant bolt pull, zero deviation and your sight picture stays on target. Plus, no scope glint!

Solo'd 1/2 a train while hiding in a crater doing this, not a bad look for the support that wants to do everything. DeliciousPatriotism fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Sep 1, 2016 |

The Gewehr 1895 is the one you use for close range. It's a Mannlicher, which yes is pronounced man licker, and unlike the 98 it uses a rimmed cartridge, so just go ahead and call it the rimjob.

Assault is so satisfying once you get the AT rifle. Two AT grenades and a rifle shot will kill a land ship.

I got an enemy team rushing at the building I spawned in (with one of my team's snipers) to walk into two trip mines simultaneously and deliver me a quad kill. I love new claymores. The more I play the game the more it grows on me, and I loved what was there in the alpha. BF is always going to be a game where morons camp in buildings to snipe and teams group up in clusters around a single objective for no reason, but the game feels really good and once you get the hang of the support class you can do some really good damage or at least distract people enough you can pick up some assist points.

Rifle grenades are sort of useless most of the time because they a) don't explode on impact and b) you don't really have any gauge for how the grenade will drop. They are useful for clearing out rooms though.

I like shooting down airplanes with tanks, it reminds me of Bad Company 2: Vietnam. I also can't figure out how the hell charging actually works. I tried to charge a guy and ended up just shoveling the air like an idiot until he turned around and killed me, while I've had people about a foot away from me one shot me with melee.

Cav is best class. You have a solid rifle, you can drop ammo *and* health, and your melee weapon is a sword. Best bug I had in this game was when I spawned as Cav without a horse.

You sprint and hit melee while having a weapon with a bayonet equipped. That is 100% of it.

DeliciousPatriotism posted:Wait until you get the M1916 Selbstlader, it's a legit scoped DMR with a 20 round mag and higher range damage. I have been seeing every streamer use it so I was worried about balance at first but its kick is pretty significant and has pretty hard hit on deviation if you fire nonstop. The cei-rigotti is probably better as a short-med range skirmish rifle as you can just POPOPOPOPOP and have most shots land around on target. Noticing that recovery between shots is what keeps the keeps the unscoped rifles competitive. Handsome Ralph posted:Yeah, I wasn't feeling this game at all and then I started using the M1907, and holy poo poo. Game changer. You guys need to try the Mondragon, either variant. The thing is an absolute beast. Almost no recoil and it does the same damage as the M1916. The only downside is the 10 bullet mag, but it reloads quickly. All the medic guns are pretty beastly tbqh.

I think the combination of half the map lacking cover and pubbies being generally incapable of realizing that there are other classes besides the sniper kinda hurts things, but the latter isn't really the game's fault. It's just annoying to spend an entire match putting out fires at the CPs almost always solo because 95% of your team has grown roots off in bumblefuck nowhere, so that they can wait 20 minutes to actually see someone and then wildly miss the whole two shots they take. Then they get sniped by a tank. Wookiees are always the worst part of BF.

Im really rating the tank hunter variant of the landship. It takes out the fairly useless two back machinegun seats but keeps the side cannons. The driver up front has his machinegun swapped for a really accurate, unlimited ammo recoilless rifle that 1 shots infantry, is almost hitscan in bullet speed and does about 13-15 damage to tanks. It will shoot down most planes in 3 or 4 shots and thanks to the bullet speed, htting them is a piece of piss.

Great if you have confidence in your cannon gunners and expect lots of infantry. I also never mind it when someone wants to ride around in my butt and shoot at whoever.

I suppose the usefulness of the machineguns depends on the quality of your side cannon guys. The goons who have been in my side guns are normally murder machines and when they can 1 shot infantry with those cannons, it makes the machineguns alot less useful as the enemy is already blown apart before the machinegunner can land hits
