I find it alarming, through not surprising, that 28% of people were playing Recon.

Medic still had the best guns. People just weren't playing it because they assume Assault always has the best guns and theyre probably not good at using semi autos. There wasn't enough people using the assault AT rocket gun for the people playing assault to be playing it for that reason
The starter med fun was also hot garbage.

I guess you can at least disable it server side if you pay for your own server where you won't get rcon

It's funny. When I played the Beta it felt like a steaming load of garbage, but I couldn't really pinpoint why.

Then I remembered that basically all of my BF friends were absent for the Beta, busy dealing with real life poo poo, and I was just randoming all the time.

BF is a terrible series to play by yourself.

Ya I tried queueing on my own and it was horrible. It's ok if you want to just kill nerds over and over, but PYFO'ing is actively discouraged by a whole bunch of dumb design decisions

I'm pretty sure options like "disable a whole class" really do not exist anymore for EA games even if it's your server.


Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

This would suck but it would actually be cool if they found a way to "throw back" to other old battlefield levels but have them *earlier* in time in WWI. I'm sure they'll find a way, there's bound to be a retro map DLC.

Someone please calculate how many of those things I can drink per day between now and launch without actually dying. I'm ok with some loss of bodily function as long as it doesn't impact my KDR.

My ex used to drink four monsters once per week because that's when she had a late night class and she did this a number of times without dying. So I think the answer is at least four.

In the sense that they might die shortly after taking out the flamethrower if they don't jump off and heal immediately.

They'll still kill the flamethrower though.

The 1895 and SMLE Carbine made being up close and personal with the Recon very satisfying. Also meant you had no scope lighting and made it reasonably easy to counter snipe those that did.

I goy drunk, turned off the hud, grabbed the SMLE carbine and ran around for ULTRAINING REALISM mode and found myself top 5th every round.

Started playing super cautiously, and the game is pretty good about visual and audio cues (the armies are always different colors) and found it easy to PTFO while playing it safe. Surprised how functional the game was without a hud, excited for hardcore.

In other news, I am pleased we can clamber awkwardly onto vehicles and surf them again like in 1942! It's a shame we never tried this in Beta with planes with my small circle of goon squad friends.

I noticed this immediately and loved it. Also there has to be a map where a huge cloud of mustard gas rolls in and envelops the battlefield like the sandstorm in Sinai, right? Otherwise the gas masks seem really unnecessary.

Lol, I just thought of what if there were horses on said map, which would suddenly turn into piles of horse corpses at each spawn when that event happens, but apparently they invented horse gas masks. Those would be cool to see.
