Most important of all we won't be seeing instant respawn instant vehicle respawn 1000 ticket servers take over the game within a month.

We ran into one worse while trying to find a server Chrono wasn't banned from. Vehicles only spawned once. On a rush server. Pretty ure we got booted pretty quick once we started mocking the admins about it. That poo poo's almost as bad as the tacticool crouch servers and no hipfiring bullshit.

Been playing BF4. Assault Rifles really kill gameplay. Hold crosshairs over target, click mouse, target flops over.

At least inaccurate DMRs take some skill.

Yeah, that's what instantly got to me while playing 4. It felt really heavily-designed around controller play, because there's no chance anyone playing that with 100% of the players using M+K didn't go "holy poo poo, there is literally nowhere to take cover."

It is my one wish that they make the game even more optimized. I was able to run Battlefront: The Star War, but BF1 stuttered like crazy on this old computer. Bummer since an upgrade isn't affordable for me right now. There's always BF4 I guess.

Big rear end Zeppelin's did exist and they did some bombing raids on London, It was quite a moment turning war for the average person from 'a thing that soldiers do far away' to 'holy poo poo, total war can actually harm us despite not being soldiers or over there now!'

Not sure about the flying low and machine gunning dudes however.

The first Zeppelin to be shot down by incendiary ammunition happened 100 years ago last week: https://youtu.be/YFObCTOdVX8

Yes. There's even a scout gadget that lets you sit completely out of line of sight and look at people, so you can be even more useless.

That gadget outlines anyone you spot with it in red. This makes it a huge help in spotting for your aircraft and tanks.

The American ballon killer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luke I hope we get a skin and load out for him. It would be quite fitting in the game.

Speaking of the US, I am kind of interested to see how they'll look in the game now. I'm also curious at the voice acting for the US soldiers with the accents?

Can I get the version of BF4 you've been playing, it sounds like a good change of pace from BF4's normal gameplay of dodging hill wookies, idiots with DMRs that can't aim and LMGs everywhere. Would make my ASVAL antics easier.

BF1 related question though, have they said if there's going to be all class weapons aside from the pistol? If I'm going to play JJ Abrams' attempt at a Battlefield game and stick with my AT habits, I'd like a gun that that didn't feel like a clunky piece of poo poo. Especially since we don't have flashbangs and tasers to just play Axe Cop hero like in Hardline.

The slug shotgun was surprisingly great for me in the beta. It's just weird to get used to, and you have to swap to your pistol to finish people off.

that was the easiest way to play an aggressive scout as well- get in that first shot for 98 damage or whatever and then finish them off by slightly grazing them with your pistol

The autos in BF1 struck me as much more foolproof than ARs in BF4. The entire meta of BF4's gunplay is to burst fire 2-4 rounds based on the distance, and just know when to do so. Meanwhile, the Assault and Support weapons in BF1 are designed to be fired full auto; the submachine guns get high spread upfront and slowly regain spread if you stop firing so they're best suited for hosing, while the auto rifles of the Support gain accuracy while firing. BF1's system is easier to understand because there's less you have to think about every time you shoot at someone.

Battlefield 1 really wants you to use your melee or your sidearm in sticky situations, and I'm okay with that.

some art of the dogtags has been leaked, if you want to spoil yourself have a peek.

Until then: something else I really miss from 2142 along besides the lack of jets was the emplaced AA on the ground. The attack aircraft things were good, but if they hung about in one area for too long you could always sneak over into one of those and gently caress them straight up. Much better than relying on engineers to carry ineffective MANPADS around and forgo anti-tank weapons.

Speaking of AA, getting into and using the old style AA guns in the beta is still a drat load of fun.

The AA in 1942 was pretty decent. It was great at taking out planes and tanks.

Fun IRL fact, the first versions of those guns were used by the Boers in the Boer War and the dum dum rounds they fired were fired on British soldiers. Boy that war was fulla war crimes!
