I was defending on Fao Fortress with the marksman Gewehr 98 and unintentionally completed the “accumulate 1,000 metres worth of headshots in a life” joke challenge for one of those horsemen of the apocalypse dogtags. kind of wanna try the “destroy a behemoth with the Kolibri” one now

I get that it's meant to be a dumb joke but i didn't think small arms even did damage to behemoths

I think one of the assignments has a requirement for aircraft roadkills, that's about the only time a skygod would be any farther than 6" away from the skybox.

The one I love is Modal Yodel, which is the "play X rounds of game mode Y", 3/4 of which don't even have a single server active on a weekend night.

They apparently changed some weapon balance stuff but I haven’t seen patch notes. Game still feels as broken as it did first alpha.

Really at a certain point you just have to write things off to pubbies who play fps games being the dumbest tunnel vision obsessed fuckers on the planet. The Support MG is deadly as hell defensively but none of them ever used it in the last test and the Germans always got rolled.

I cheesed that one with a friend to get a cool horseman of the apocalypse dog tag, it takes two passes with two tripwires each

BFV alpha plays more battlefieldy now. its better, i dont feel like i need laser aim anymore. I felt the last alpha was more pubG like.

I haven't noticed any performance improvements. I think my 4670K is the bottleneck in my system. my framerate is varying wildly. last alpha you had to play for a little bit until it smoothed out so maybe that is my problem still. I expect a lot more optimization before launch. Recommended specs are 12 gigs ram too so that could also be the issue. I'll upgrade after launch if its a problem still.

I didnt try planes or tanks yet.

Still bad. Though I did have a guy on my team get sixty kills flying somehow so I dunno maybe I'm god awful.

I posted the changes for the second alpha earlier. The only thing they changed were the weapons. No vehicle tweaks or performance fixes.

You'll have to wait for the Gamescom beta/preorder beta/whatever beta for actual changes.

:ducksiren: Weekly Battlefield Rendevous for Historical Accuracy is Tomorrow at 8PM CT!!! :ducksiren:

So, tomorrow at 8PM CT, we are going to play some Battlefield 4!! That’s IV, intravenous, for short. Anybody who can make it, let’s get a big group together. We had 10 last week, so maybe we can get 10.5 this time. Who knows!

Normally, these are on Fridays but, it’s my wedding anniversary, so I have to celebrate in my hometown murder capital of the world, Gary, IN New Orleans. We will get back to Fridays next week gang.

Anywho, I know the alpha is on for BFV and I wish I was there but well, tough poo poo me. So here we go.

Few FAQs for you all:

Will I have fun playing with the goon horde?

Yes. That is super obvious.

Will we win games?

Yes. We are undefeated. Please ignore what actually happened last week.

I’m working man, I can’t make it. Help?

I got you. Use this script with your boss and be sure to leave a voicemail. You’re calling in to work. It works every time.

Hi, this is [Use real name and gamer tag as well] and I am letting you know I’m calling in to work today! Honesty is the best policy and I am not sick but instead, I will be playing Battlefield game for my PC with my friends! Please know I will come into work on my next scheduled shift. Thank you and have a great [use day or night, depending on what time it is. You’ll know what to do.

Where we do this at?

Discord again! See you there! https://discord.gg/364rsdd

Cheers. Looking forward to gaming with those who join.

Shhh. My Common Sense is Tingling



The weapon adjustments feel great. The stg isnt a must pick, the mp40 is good at close range, the mg34 can kill people, (but still has no mobility) and the k98 nerfed to hell. My performance is all over the place, out in the field I'm 55-70, but it's basically unplayable in the village with all the houses. I need a ram upgrade but these prices are hosed, and I think I'm asking too much of my 1060 to push 1440p.

Patch dropped.

RIP Frommer rape in B2B. Also, the balancer has been fixed and turned up to balance more aggressively.

I had something come up last minute, will not be able to make it tonight.

Do you guys have a steam group ala BF Goons, for spamming out group play events? Or is that passé now?

Yeah I am seeing a lot of folks have to back out (which is all good, should have used the script!!!!). I’ll be on but hey, if it’s a small group, it’s all good. Next Friday is a definite.

And no steam group since it’s on Origin. I do everything through discord.

wow I honestly had assumed this would never get fixed since it’s been in the game since like day 1

That ring of fire looks pretty baller, actually.

I'm not entirely against the concept of Battle Royale and think it could be done pretty well with BF mechanics.

2 less than BF1. :(

Rotterdam does look pretty interactive, though.

I'd say now, though, that BF1 has almost too many maps. On "ALL MAP" servers, I never see some vanilla maps anymore!

I was about to say something about how BR in WW2 doesn't make thematic sense but then I'd be on that slippery slope with people complaining about ladies and people of colour. :v:
