Yeah I'm watching LIRIK play right now and he had a full server which looked like an absolute blast, but as soon as he tried to do a different campaign thing it just put him into an empty server. I hope people play it on release. EDIT: I can see how it might seem a little too linear for some people but just from watching gameplay it does a really good job of focusing the action and making you feel the entire team is working together. It feels more like the final act of a war movie than conquest does. Very excited to play it regardless. Fresh Shesh Besh fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Oct 15, 2016 |

Hopefully they'll let you join operations in the server browser eventually.

On one hand I'm glad I saved the money instead of splurging and getting early access, but unfortunately the other hand is hitting myself in the face over and over for not splurging and getting early access

I feel like a piece of poo poo for it, but I don't think I have the patience for another progression unlock system in a shooter and kind of want to buy one of those skip kits if they sell them.

So in my boredom in waiting for the game I found that somebody uploaded the Sturmtruppen cartoons based on Italian anti-war comic on the YouTube set in Not WW1/2. Translated captions to English doesn't seem to work like always, but it is oddly entertaining and I wish I loving knew Italian.

Operations should just work via browser or quick match. Quick matching to a single map is a dumb idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RG3iTRh7Fo This video compares the damage. He approached from a bad angle, but a decent gunner can basically hit you from any approach. Went up against an attacker with a good tail gunner. They basically dominated the skies, and the tail gunner was the one getting all of the air to air kills.

Bohemian Nights posted:haha holy poo poo is the fighter weak against bombers or what Unless they changed it from beta, the fighter is insanely, worthlessly weak. I spent a bunch of time tailgunning on the tank hunter attack plane which is the real ruler of the skies since it can one shot bombers and can just fly straight for about five seconds to have the tailgunner destroy a fighter. It's honestly a good thing because single-person planes are kinda dumb.

It's honestly a good thing because single-person planes are kinda dumb. I had a good amount of success in the beta with bomber hunter loadout for the single seat fighter, even against other attackers/fighters. The attacker's cannon got nerfed though, so no more easy one shots on planes.

In alpha/beta the tailgunner was beyond useless in my experience, so it being a threat is a good thing... but not at the cost of the fighter being worthless.

I could get engine disabled or several wing panels with the attack plane tailgun MG before it overheated in the beta. The real problem was that there was some inexplicable bug that caused bullets to no longer fire at the reticule. That's probably why people had so much trouble hitting things with it.

I also remember developers mention that they do it for lots of events like this because not all press use M+K, and controller gameplay looks smoother and less twitchy. Hence games like DOOM being basically 100% controller footage despite it playing like it was designed precisely for M+K.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at actually being able to defend against fighters. I got used to the tail gunner being a ceremonial role in the beta.

Yeah you have 2 or 3 objectives that you cap like conquest, then it moves to the next area of the map like rush. Then, if the attacking team pushes through the whole map they move to the next map in that specific Operations campaign. They keep going until they push to the end of the last map or lose, then they switch sides and start again at the first map I think. Attackers get 3 tries per campaign before they really lose. Also all of this is driven by little narrative cutscenes before each match starts. Also it's for 64 players I think. Fresh Shesh Besh fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Oct 16, 2016 |

That actually sounds really cool. One of my favorite parts about Rush in BF4 was playing on 64 player servers, because even though they were designed for that many people, there was still enough space there to make things crazy. It focused that chaos in specific areas really well (although, obviously, on some maps it just flat out loving sucked *cough*Metro*cough*), and it really played up Battlefield's wonderful "HOLY poo poo EVERYWHERE IS BULLETS AND EXPLOSIONS" shtick well.

I guess it's probably like the other pick ups: very good in some situations. Seems inaccurate passed close distance (as it should be). Seems like it might be harder to bayonet charge this one though, compared to the MG08 guy.
