I was a bit sad the assault class only get three gadgets. Dynamite, AT grenades, and the AT rocket gun. I mean, most of the time I'm not bumrushing a tank. Then I discovered the AT rocket gun is very good for sniping soft squishy humans at range... gently caress. Yes.

They got several sets of 5 they'll rotate every week. I'm sort of hoping they will improve the medal system and bring back a more cut down ribbon system from the previous games now.

Yeah, right now it's pretty annoying. For this week I've got a selection of four sniping-related ones, and one focused on explosive kills that doesn't include stuff like mortars as explosives.

Anyway, this is probably my favourite way to deal with snipers:

Got them WMD's! Got that Pandemic!
Last night I counted at one point 13 snipers on attack during operations. Not scouts with infantry rifles getting up and lobbing flares or covering mid range or anything, but sitting in spawn. Yeah I get we need some sniper cover but pubs must think you can cap with a scope. It made me really angry to have have been in the top half of the scoreboard after literally spending 2/3 attacks herding snipers forward with smoke grenades.

I love operations, but God I loving hate pubbies.

Just to ask again, how do you get Battlepacks (aside from buying them)? I can't figure out what actions do it. A guy I play with got one when he hit level 15, but I didn't.

Random at end of round. I once joined a server right into the end-of-round summary, literally no gameplay, and got a battlepack out of it.

guy I was playing with even said he was gonna get so pissed if I somehow got one as we joined, I keep getting them and he doesn't.

In addition to getting them randomly, you can also scrap skins that you don't like and use that scrap to buy new ones. There are three tiers of those you can buy, with the more expensive ones offering better odds at rare stuff.

Seem to be ok.

We were able to startup operations games without much issue last night.

Conquest match making worked flawlessly and even kept our 12 man together between games which is probably even more surprising than the servers not making GBS threads themselves.

I have not been able to get into an Operations match yet, no quick matchmaking or server browser options for it and I need a friend to be playing so I can join their game.

The option is at a level higher on the menu than you expect, you'll end up quickmatched using that.

Hello Bastards.
Anyone having issues with mortars or fixed machine guns on PC? I was playing last night and when I was trying to aim my mortar my aiming was extremely hard to control. It took me maybe 7 full swipes of my mouse to move the aim maybe an inch. Same thing with mounted guns. Otherwise I have no issues with movement.

I can't move with anything but my xbox controller once the game starts. Even if I unplug my controller on the PC before starting I still can't control anything. I can't seem to find a fix to this. I would like to be able to use both, but obviously m+kb is preferred. Anyone else with this problem?

Online won't connect for me now, and in the brief period it did, the connection crapped out every time I tried redeeming battlepacks. Guess I'll have to wait to shoot mans online.

How are slug shotguns in those, usable at any sort of range?

I mean, it's unlikely I'll be able to countersnipe with them like BC2, but a man can dream.

They're loving bad. I was a slugger in BC2 and they are worse in BF1 than they were in 3 and 4. OHK range is much less than buckshot and I'm pretty sure it's a 3 hit kill at max range. They're pointless.

This is a bug with the origin overlay. Turn it off and you'll be fine.

The Origin tech support forum for BF1 is full of people with the same issue across all three platforms. Allegedly (based on some guy saying that a support guy told him) the servers are getting hammered.

Started up last night and wasn't finding much success with the mortar. Any tips? I either got killed while using it or was just blind firing at nothing hoping to see a guy and recognize where that would translate to on the map. Inevitably he had moved by next shot.

I've reached the last map on all operations, though I never finished the Sinai one, and I only beat the second Italian one once.

Yes to both of these. I'm running on a GTX 460 and an AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black. I would say it runs better than that video shows, maybe ~45 fps? Been having a blast.

Operations sound amazing, I hope DICE and the Battlefield community think of just doing a weekly Operations event to keep the game mode chugging now.
