slightly offtopic , but Battlefield-like Hell Let Loose just got updated with Eastern Front maps and a 1.0 release, figured some goons here might be interested. Also portal indeed looks sick

Communist Toast posted:So how do you play other classes to maximize score per minute in BF1? Medic just seems to be my bread and butter and very obvious how to milk points. Other classes I cant seems to come close As a support Look for a large concentration of people or a recon or assault actually using their kit items. Throw down a box. As recon or assault kill dudes a lot, use the flare gun whenever you have ammo for it.

Ah well theres the problem, killing dudes isnt my forte. I will put all my poo poo on the line to revive my team tho. Its really cool, I feel like 1 person reviving and staying on top of heals can have a huge impact on the outcome of a big fight. I feel like in other BF games you could 1 man a tank as the explosives class, but it seems like even if I managed to put all my anti tank grenades into them plus my rockets they are still around 30-40 armor. Does it just require more coordination?

tanker and pilot are the only classes I am still sitting at less than 5 for, it's annoying that spawning in a tank (but not as the driver) doesn't get you tanker class points like it did in previous entries. I also really wish there was some kind of a testing map to get the feel for planes because I have always sucked at flying them in every BF game made  e: spotting flares get you mad points, especially if you are hanging around a meat grinder objective, periscope does too

The heavier tanks do tend to survive more. By nature you have to get close to use the AT grenade which puts you well within shooting distance, also just getting there, plus there are usually infantry around a tank and just being slightly off with the distance of your throw means a lot less damage. The rocket gun requires you to find a place to set up the bipod which makes you a sitting duck after more than 1 shot and even then there’s a chance for a ricochet. Heavy tanks can absolutely run amok on maps like Amiens when there’s only infantry and other tanks to worry about.

You kind of need a squad working together to max points on the non-medic classes to be honest. Medic can just hoover points up but the others rely on either a steady supply of things from ammo crates, or if you're support, people constantly using your ammo crates, to really synergize and rack points.

So this is something I'm wondering about, whether or not the bots will be mooks like in Titanfall or if they'll be meant to simulate an actual player, like the bots in any number of shooters. I'd prefer mooks, it makes the game more exciting, but it worked in Titanfall because their guns did very little damage and the actual players were highlighted with Leads and usually flying over them, so you knew who was an actual threat

So like every game that isn’t titanfall. Titanfalls are really just creep from MOBAs but I don’t really see it working well in a game with such a large player count.

Good lord this thread and the bots They're just bots, they work the same way as bots did ten years ago but hopefully with more competent AI. They're computer players you can turn on and off as a server setting. That's it's. That's all.

For what it's worth I feel like a lot of weapons are just kind of... trap options. I have hundreds of hours but I have very few weapons actually maxed. You can make pretty much every weapon work but some are just better (cough AEK cough).

Attachments wise reducing horizontal recoil is best stat. Generally high rpm weapons are better because accuracy is good enough that more bullets faster trumps any other difference.

If it helps 50% of the attachments, and 75% if we’re just talking about suppressors, do the same thing as another attachment. The stubby grip is the same as the vertical grip on every weapon, for example. As for guns the easiest choice is to just go with the ones with a low rate of fire. Easier to control, better at longer ranges if you don’t know the recoil too well.

Play maybe BF1 instead. BF4 tends to suck at the server level and can't handle high ping players as well.

I'm trying to think when the last time I would've played BF1 for free was that gave me such a sour taste in my mouth, probably either a free weekend or the beta or something, but I really remembered coming out of that thinking everything felt like a reskinned Battlefront and decidedly not Battlefield. The few rounds I played last night though were completely opposite of that and honestly I was getting mad 1942 vibes what with the weird guns and germans yelling. I still think I might prefer BF4 -- the attachments and unlocks in the modern setting are more interesting and varied which does not a good game make, but does help me stick with a game longer for sure. Oh also the sound in BF1, as expected, is loving unreal.

Portal means we can do the cowboy mode we used to do on the BF4 server we had years ago (bolt action + revolver only) without having to boot people for not abiding by the rules! Maybe we'll even get to include double barrel shotguns!!
