A quick check on r/battlefield_one reveals that some people liked the hellfighter more but no one actually gives a poo poo really.

i liked the hellfighter but its probaly better if the title person was in the war longer the like half a year. so whatever.

brusilove offensive was fun. got to turkey shoot austra hungarians as they ran out of the house. then blew up the house and crushed a few.

There were a lot more Hellfighters than female communist-russians. Also America won the war so we deserve to be on the boxart.

So I got a desync type issue tonight. All of the sudden, none of my shots would register. Even going point blank and getting blood animations, nothing. But it would give me suppression assists when someone else made the kill. Ping was fine, everything else would work, just couldn't actually shoot mans. Weird.

The 1903 experimental is like using a weapon that politely suggests that perhaps, if they would be so inclined, maybe your opponent will fall over dead, please.

It's atrocious. :allears:

Brusilov Keep is way too packed to be a linear map for my liking (with not enough cover on the Russian side) and I can't even with Tsaritsyn.

Brusilov is the size of a map pared down for TDM. I got a seven kills with two airburst rounds because two squads loved to hole up in the tower between B and D despite being german. The map is so small that you can kill someone, cap a point and find them back camping the same spot again.

I kinda like it. It shoots fast, has a large clip and is steady. Looks cool too.

I mean yeah it doesn't kill a guy unless you hit him with so many bullets he literally gets lead poisoning, but whatever. It's for when you pick the sniper class but really don't want to be a sniper.

Class caps do indeed suck, because outside the scoped rifle BS scout can actually quite useful sometimes.

It is getting to the point with this series though where they should start questioning the need for a team to have more than 5 long range scoped weapons for recon or support classes in play.

You could force every recon player to use an mp-18 optical and I'm sure most would still try to snipe with it.

I like how they added a requirement that's just "Hey idiots you can shoot planes down with guns" and I'm still the only person shooting them with guns, except for one medic I saw aiming up at the planes.

Also, the 1900 Factory kinda blows, idk if it's just more random pattern than the others or if that one shotgun glitch is still in but I'm pretty often getting 0-8 damage shots from literally 10 feet away from the target. The slug version loving rules though.

"Enemy Hit 72" is the loving bane of my existence. I plop those things down all the time, and that's all I get. Every. loving. Time. Somehow I've managed to get the occasional kill with it, but holy poo poo is it loving frustrating.

At least I got one of my airplane kills by accident. The second one took some doing but the heavy bomber is so loving easy to hit (especially on Galicia where it has no large objects to hide behind) that I could just ping it to death from across the map. Shoot the planes, people. :hellyeah:

I killed a sniper last night that was laying down in a HE tripwire facing away from a door. He was hoping I would come stab him, but I shot him from like 3 yards instead. He just raged and raged and raged.

Galicia on Ops basically seems to be a game killer. There's no cover, the defense has decent positions, and they eventually get a loving tank hunter. The tankgewehr alone can put a stop to any vehicle push, because there's nowhere that isn't in direct line of sight. You can be shot almost as soon as the vehicle is spawned, and if he hits you right you could be stuck instantly. Plus there's aircraft, plus a billion assaults. Good loving luck trying to push against a competent team. It makes Verdun look fair.

Yep, that's about my experience with Galicia in the operation. It's literally just a giant empty field with nothing for the attackers to approach behind. Nobody can serpentine perfectly for 250-300 meters. I'm sitting there trying to figure out what these super awesome new tactics of the Russians are because from my point of view it's "run into No Man's Land."

The opening of Volga River in Red Tide isn't a whole lot better, defenders at the church have a clear line of sight literally into the attacker's spawn points and all you have to approach with is a broken tank in a road and two chimneys.


E: Holy poo poo, the requirements for the second tier of service assignments are nuts for time sink bullshit. Destroy 10 tanks on Amiens, 5 multikills on Grappa, 50 headshots on Neville Nights, complete 10-25 rounds of all the dead game modes, destroy 40 telegraph posts, kill 3 elite classes with K bullets, kill 5 enemies with the syringe.
