I hope they change back vehicles to allow anyone on your team to spawn into the gunner/passenger seats. In BFV only your squadmates could

I don't suppose any European-based goons play BF as part of a group/server/community? English/Italian/German language is fine. I just bought BF5 on sale and I can't tell if any of the groups in the PGS subforum have a presence there.. I've also got BF1 and BF4

Do people actually get in legal trouble for leaking poo poo like that, or does Dice/EA just ban them or something? I imagine they agree to NDAs? Having a few minutes of internet clout by leaking it doesn't seem worth it either way

According the a community rep, the most likely consequences for breaking the NDA would be getting banned from the current and any future tests, and possibly getting banned from the full game on top of it. I don't think they can really levy fines or anything outside of their own system, or would want to deal with the bad publicity that'd come from something like that.

Nah, squad spawn is the better solution for this IMO; I don't want some random in my gunner's seat, I want to at least be able to talk to whoever is in there so there's a modicum of coordination.

I didn't play 1 or V, but as far as I can recall it's been squad spawn since BF2.

Pretty much. It's a terrible idea. Just think of a squadmate hopping out to repair only to have their seat taken by a pubbie.

they let randos spawn in on certain vehicles like transport helos or the lovely wooden boats in BFV. This works well enough since it usually only happens on transport vehicles which is where you want randos spawning in anyways

I like vehicles that are essentially mobile spawn points. APCs and similar vehicles where their main role is to move bodies. Hardline had a reinforced SUV that functioned as a team spawn, and it could turn a game around if the driver was halfway smart.

I haven't played for some time because Covid Homeoffice and gaming a the same desk didn't work for me but I think Riflen and maybe Guillermus still play regularly with a bunch of other Europeans. I am sure in October there will be a huge uptick in Eurogoon squads, we sometimes ran 4 full squads in BF.
And you'd regularly find peole to play with since BF4.

All these clips are very 'Battlefield' in that whoever's footage we are seeing, are running around on their own instead of with squads.

I remember hiding the spawn truck in the parking garage with that elevator that lead up to the top of the building on that city map, it worked pretty well.

Also while driving our spawn truck I once got into a shoving match with the enemy spawn truck and managed to push them out of bounds, destroying them.

Good times.

The halftracks in BFV were hilariously overpowered as well. As long as their was a seat available, they had open team spawning, but the fact that they had a rear gunner, top gunner, and for some reason the front passenger seat was a gunner as well as impervious to small arms fire made them great to break through enemy infantry lines.

in all the...200 hours I played BFV I don't think I ever saw any halftracks go on a tear, I'd usually see them roll into a point and get deleted by Assaults within 5 seconds, that and the top gunner was a death sentence (same with the gunner position for tanks)

I loved how they added the ability for the top gunner in tanks to duck inside, but they still take explosive damage so anyone shooting the tank with rockets (or with other tanks) would still end up killing the gunner without even trying

Whenever I tried to use the top gun on a tank I honestly think I died more to rocket splash damage than getting shot with bullets. Unless the rocket hit some geometrically furthest point on the tank from the gunner you could survive maybe 3 hits.

It's the Audie Murphy position, you can definitely use the machinegun to get some kills, but you're a huge target. I like it, it's best avoided for survival reasons but it can be used to go on a tear if the tank driver is good enough.

After the A7V in BF1 I could understand why they would want to make tank gunner positions slightly more vulnerable but in true DICE fashion it was a massive over-correction.

Had a game about a month ago on Marita where I went 2-0, but my friend went something like 57-0 as I drove him around all match as he gunned people down in the second seat.

It’s ridiculously annoying solo when you switch to the gunner seat and you have somebody hop In the driver seat only to drive it directly into the middle of the enemy team to get nuked instantly.

Usual hardcore all maps BF4 server I go on was full last night so I joined a vanilla maps one. Went on a 86 kill rampage on Zavod that honestly prob could have been about 150+ easy if I had managed to get back into a vehicle after my initial 27 kill streak in the AA just moving back and forth outside C/D. People just kept spawning in the hills and in the buildings and I just kept mowing em down. I'd say that has to be my best streak ever

In the BFV beta the tank gunners MGs did like 50 damage per bullet so it actually kind of worked because the gunner would instantly delete anyone in his sights but was still vulnerable to being shot from the side/rear, but then they nerfed it for launch because sniper players complained so now the gunner usually will just lose in a 1v1 at any serious distance
