As a self-professed tank whore this game right now is completely amazing. No one knows how to deal with you and people are more than happy to run directly at you with a bundle grenade in a vain attempt to hurt you.

There's just something so magical about looking at the end game score screen and reading "K/D: 28.00" :allears:

Every game, regardless of era, is improved by adding an M1 Garand. Bad Company 2 understood this perfectly.

I broke down and bought the deluxe pack a few hours ago, and I am so glad I did. The game runs like a dream at medium on my gtx 760 and bayoneting people is something that will never get old.

I haven't played a Battlefield since Bad Company 2, but I'm really confused with how the scoring works. Most of the times when I check my score in game I'll be near the top of the scoreboard, but once the game ends and shows the end game scores I'll be in the middle and some people will have 10k more points than me.

Am I missing something, or am I just bad?

Hey guys, I'm getting mad in-chill playing with pubbies. I couldn't find any discord info in the op, can anyone shoot it over to me?

They should also just remove the ability to skip revives, pubbies are too dumb to use it right.

In keeping with the old-fashioned spirit of the game, goons themselves are sticking with mumble and the CTS server for BF1.

There were people above us talking about a discord server, so I know there's non-mumble goons out there.

Agreed, Amiens is really good. DICE kind of hosed up by having Operations go on for two maps. It basically buries 50% of the maps behind Attackers not being completely retarded/Defense being really retarded. You might see the second map maybe 10% of the time. And honestly it's just a bit too drat long to play 2 maps if you even get the chance and usually Attackers only have 1 attack anyways so you never get very far in it.

They really should have just split each map into it's own Operations and could basically double the amount of content there overnight. Mostly I just want to play more Amiens and Argon Forest and stuff.

Or they could have had it so you play both maps regardless of who wins the first map, but give a bonus to the team that wins. It does defeat the 'flow' of the operation, but I would rather play both maps every time than have to depend on the attacking teaming winning in a miracle.

Please goons, who do I yell at, DICE or nVidia?

I used to have this problem all the time when I was playing Battlefront. I asked in the tech support forum and GuavaMoment suggested

GuavaMoment posted:

Try going to the Nvidia control panel. Change the PhysX settings from "auto-select" to your graphics card. I had this problem once, and the crashing was caused by the auto select choosing my cpu somehow.

It worked like a dream for me, you might also get some millage out of it.

I finally decided to stop playing 64 player operations when I realized that my my screen would not stop shaking from the constant mortar spam. It's fun for a bit, but exploding constantly with no real chance at counter play got boring real quick.

Finally tried playing with a group, and whenever I do, I can't use any vehicles because the controls are all jumpy and unresponsive. I have a feeling this is from the overlay, but does anyone know a way to fix this bullshit?

edit: I guess I fixed it by alt-tabbing or closing the Origin windows outside the game

I've found just opening and the closing the in game chat can fix this issue. Alt-tabbing also fixes it. Do note that these are only temporary fixes.

Yes, but the problem comes after that. With so many people camping the two door ways there is almost no way for attackers to kill enough people to turn the point. I liked the previous idea that destroying the cannon should create a third hole on the ceiling to allow another attack path.

I went up against someone last night that had 174 service stars in the heavy tank. To make matters worse my team simply refused to help me destroy the tank.

They still lost cause it was a 64 player operation, but god that was an awful experience.

Ah, they're number 10 in the world for heavy tank, that explains it a bit.

Nothing is worth giving the enemy the chance to take your tank. The only time your body should leave the tank is if an explosion forcibly ejects your corpse.

Another good medic gun is the Selbstlader Marksman. You can pick off snipers without the glare of a sniper scope. It also has 26 rounds.

And a magazine! It's so nice not having to base my reloads around the number of bullets in the gun.

I solo tanks all of the time, or I essentially solo it and someone steals the kill. Here's how I do it. Basically, you want to get behind the big tanks, on the light tanks it matters much less unless it is the Howitzer model. First, spot the tank. This increases the chance of your team helping you and makes the next step easier. If you can get some in between you and the tank that you can throw over, do it. Throw both of your AT grenades over said obstruction at the tank. Next, while the driver is panicking, run to a place where you can prone and start shooting your AT rocket gun. Hopefully you've disabled a track or a turret and they're having a hard time turning to face you or shooting you. Shoot the rest of your AT rockets. So long as you don't glance, you should be able to kill any tank or at the very lease disable it.

This is the truth. The most important thing to remember is to avoid the main turret. If you attempt to engage the tank when it is looking at you you're as good as dead. Take your time and make sure you're attacking it from angels it can't fight back from.

One of the maps in the most recent Battlefront (Survivors of Endor was it?) had a section of the map take place in a burning forest. It works really well except for the times you accidentally walk into a small flame, take 5 damage, and stop your health regeneration.

My favorite tank memory was a few days ago on Monte Grappa where a pubbie tanker drove his tank into an incredibly easy to escape trench, jumped out of the tank in a mad panic, and was immediately gunned down by the three goons surrounding the tank.

The best Christmas gift anyone has ever gotten me.

I applied for KUMT, I'm Dongs McGee. It's been a while since I played with you guys and I'm looking forwards to getting back into it.

It's basically required I get the DLC maps, right?

Edit: I also never see anyone playing this game through the Origin overlay. Did you guys change what times you play or did I get removed from everyone's friends list?
