I want broken champagne bottle for a melee weapon but I will never unlock it because champagne bottles spawn in the worst places and trying to seek out and kill a dude on purpose in melee is much harder now.

The trick to “X kills in a round” challenges is to play a full operations game, since it considers multiple waves of attackers to be part of the same round as long as the map doesn’t change


They’re better now but back when In the Name of the Tsar dropped you needed 15 HE tripwire kills and the max damage they did at the time was like 70. That poo poo was dumb

Yes but that was patched fairly quickly so that the he mines would at least give you an assist counts as kill. They forgot that one of the default perks was flak jacket, which prevented he mines from doing enough damage for an assist counts as kill

I got mine at the B point in Passchendaele. There’s a bottle that spawns by the bunker and I just hid in there until someone came in.

I’m also down to get in on this Friday game. It’s been too long since I’ve played with goons.

Wow, the quality of players in Operations is utter trash. Why yes, please, immediately go back to respawn after getting killed when there's a medic immediately to your right trying to revive you. Going back to the respawn screen doesn't make you get back into the fight quicker, morons.

It does, however, make you (usually) spawn in a safer place, rather than right into a burst of MG fire that results in the death of both you and a teammate. Blame this one on bad game design. Squad spawn mechanics are literally too good in this game. Players use them and they're right to do so.

Suppression should suppress the ability for a player to be revived/to revive as well.

I wish they would remove K/D entirely from the series. Like actually having ZERO stat tracking for kills and deaths would improve things a bunch.

I would love to see them implement this, if only to see how lvlcap screams about the death of the franchise.

A score system that reflects your rear end kicking nature and team work would be so much better than the loving K/D ratio. This game is so chaotic death is more or less around the corner every second!

I guess you have to get two kills with it I think? One where the bottle breaks and then you have a broken bottle then you have to get ANOTHER kill with it while it’s broken for it to unlock and be a permanent part of your kit

One kill with the bottle is enough for the codex, which is a long, interesting description of alcohol usages in the trenches.

Honestly, the codex entries are good and I hope I get the same sort of carrot in V.

Scout flares now make the same crackle as infil signal flares. It's not in the slightest bit nerve wracking on non-TT maps where cheaters would shoot out infil flares like a machine gun.

The wine bottle as a pickup weapon is a one shot kill but you can't switch weapons. It's one kill for the codex entry and five kills (total, not per life) to unlock the wine bottle as a knife.

It's really easy to do on Passchendaele where there's several wine bottles to choose from and a lot of visual clutter to hide around. I got three bottle kills in one round as support throwing around ammo until people walked into me.

Yeah from I understand player count spoofing is a big problem on PC. I've never experienced it myself so I haven't had to deal with it, but from what I'm told if you browse servers on Battlelog instead of the in-game server browser then you will get accurate player counts.

I wonder if DICE going to take a look at the optics of BF1 and take away any balancing poo poo. Every time I get killed by a Hellriegel it has no less than five thousand service stars, which is no surprise because it kills you in about half a second. What will the BFV equivalent that they try and fail to balance properly making it extremely overpowered to simply very overpowered?

Lupkow Pass is a terrible map. I think I found the map where I run to a corner and stay there either as Scout or with a telescopic LMG. 9/10 deaths are being shot from behind. It's such a loving worthless mess. Honestly, I don't even know why I bother with Mix considering every time I play on a DLC map, it frustrates me to no end because at how garbage most of them are. If I didn't get these things super cheap, I'd felt ripped off.

It was always good if you prefired so that your bullets were firing at the tightest spread on enemies, it's been extremely good ever since it was patched to hit max accuracy one bullet earlier which was precisely what the sentry needed to kill a person to avoid dying to a bayonet.

The overwhelming majority of the dlc maps are rubbish, I feel pretty silly expecting that there was going to be better maps than the French ones since they were and still are stacked against the French on conquest. Then dice went "hold my beer" and made Albion. And Achi Baba where it feels as claustrophobic as Fort Metro Locker with both teams spawning within open sight of each other.

I played 4 at launch and didn't get super into the game to get an idea of the map quality. I know of that one infamous subway map but has DICE ever been this bad with map design? I remember Bad Company 2's maps being pretty darn alright.
