Didn't you like the loving terrible night vision sniper rifle that took up half your screen and has basically no visibility in the scope?

In BF1 the assault class is also the de-facto anti tank class, too, and has pretty good weapons for close and medium ranges. I've personally found the M1917 Patrol Carbine to be really good for mid-rangey stuff since it's easy to manage and has that optic, and being able to double at grenade + light at grenade + 4 tank rocket shots is, like, really good. Being able to self-refill light at grenades as a support is pretty good, too.

The way they handled the Assault class in BFV is basically a repeat of BF Vietnam's Heavy Assault class with the M60 and LAW

In my experience the patrol carbine is good for pub stomping... it's ttk and deep mag lets you dunk multiple people quickly if you significantly outskill your opposition. You'll lose to anyone using a SMG up close or a medic rifle who is on your level though.

One of the reasons BF1 is better than BFV is AT rockets. One of my favorite moments of BF1 is nailing some poor fucker on B from D with an AT rocket. Felt real good.

Insert name here posted:I think part of it was the switch from BF1 Assault having close range weapons to the BFV Assault having all-rounder guns that work well at all but the most extreme of ranges. Like, if BFV followed the same weapon/class layout as BF1, Assault would have the SMGs and shotguns while Medic would have the rifles/ARs. Yeah, I'd say this is the major thing. In BF1, assaults have a distinct niche and trade-off. Up close they're murder, in the open they suffer. If your main goal is killing infantry, then based on the maps/CP they're sometimes a good pick, but other times a medic or support will be much more effective. Meanwhile in BFV, there is pretty much never a bad time to be assault. Up close you're strong, in midrange you're king, at long range you're still decent. If all you want is shooting infantry, assault is never a bad choice, and often the best. Another factor is that AT weapons in BFV are much easier to use. In BF1 you really need to expose yourself, either by setting up the rocket or by getting close enough to use the grenade or dynamite. Meanwhile in BFV you can sprint around a corner, whip out a panzerfaust, nail a tank at a hundred meters while you're still moving, and be gone a moment later.

hosed up imo that 3/4 classes have the whole "support your teammates by doing X" thing going on and then 1 is just extra good at killing instead

That was a huge issue in BF:V generally, because assaults were just really good at killing anything at any range, but on the flip side in BF1 medics are similar. They can't deal with vehicles, but when it comes to killing infantry (which is the bulk of the combat), they have the tools to be good at it in almost any situation. The classes have never really been designed in a way that makes them equally appealing, which is why I think the specialists are a good idea.

Are there any settings to make enemy players stand out more in Battlefield 1? I'm an old man, and snipers don't even have to lie down to be utterly indistinguishable just a few dozen meters away.

Funnily enough, I thought BF1 was better for that than BF4, which was the absolute nadir of visibilty for me, for whatever reason. Haven't played V, but I've seen the video.

I was getting frustrated after not playing bf1 for a while myself, it really helps to slow the hell down. pretend there isn't a sprint key for a while. part of why I was getting killed so easy was that i never had my gun ready to fire. still for me there are some maps where I can't see poo poo. Like Argonne Forest for example any of the jugnley parts I'm terrible at, so I just stick to the burned out wasteland parts of the map

Also remember where people were hiding or what they were doing when they killed you--it might work on other people besides you.Dead Like Rev posted:

Broke down and downloaded BF1. The tutorial intro actually didn't seem too bad from what I remember from the beta. Ain't no servers though. Only euro and >120 ping, and all empty to boot. Is it cause I only have the base game?

yea your filters are hosed, I'm looking at like 50+ servers US right now. base game servers are more popular than the dlc too. (dlc maps are great though). also I think there is some kind of free DLC map rotation? I used to only have the base game and it seemed like each week I could sometimes play on dlc maps or dlc operations. Can anyone tell me how that works exactly?

Echoing the filter check, mid day US yesterday I had the pick of like 20 servers that were full for conquest or Operations and another 20 or so for smaller modes. Didn't check for the heathen hardcore modes you frequent Captain Beans posted:yea your filters are hosed, I'm looking at like 50+ servers US right now. base game servers are more popular than the dlc too.

By default the filter is set to only servers with between 1-10 empty spots. You can loosen that up to find servers that are full up at 64/64 or whatever since you're still able to queue up to join on those.
