Same. I also can't wait. This will be the first Battlefield game I'll pick up at launch.
Heck, I can't even wait to play the beta!!

They don't even give you bonus defense points for kills? That's dumb. Defending against superior numbers is a lot more fun than attacking, in my experience, so that's disappointing that the game doesn't really reward it.

Yeah they do. Don't know what that guy is talking about.

Knifegrab posted:

Does it only give you points if you kill a guy actively capping? Or do you need to be inside the cap point when you get a kill to get the bonus. Both of which are pretty limiting and dumb to receiving any serious amount of points.

Also what are the points? I would venture to guess its a paltry sum compared to doing laps.

If the game does have defense points, I never saw em, so either I am completely blind (a legit possibility) or it barely gives out any and the amount it does give it out is tiny in comparison.

No, I have killed a ton of dudes around the point and got a defense bonus. It's pretty tiny compared to the capture points you get though.
But this game is fun! It's hilarious if you use your bayonet charge to cross an open space and end up killing some dude in a house you didn't even see.

It's way more fun to shoot someone with a (semi-automatic) rifle than a M16.

Speaking of airplanes, how's the flight combat? If spawning into a bomber forces you into a certain pilot class, is that discouraging using it as a mobile spawn point? In the videos I saw a month or so ago people were just jumping right out, which is bad since the bombers are so fragile and need people on those guns.

Only the pilot spawns as a special class. You can spawn in planes as whatever class you want, as long as someone else is flying them.

Does anyone on PC play with controller? I really like playing this game on my couch but feel like I might be at, like, a SUBSTANTIAL disadvantage. I still sit at like a 1.5 KDR and mostly play assault/medic. I'm sub-top 10 in 64s like 80% of the time, but I also use gas grenades a lot.

Who cares about KDR and stuff like that. Just do whatever you want.

It's not an A10, it's a 10-A. A Remington Model 10-A shotgun to be precise. This is an A-10:

Haha, ok, I unlocked the 10A and I have to say, wow. This gun just melts people :staredog:

EDIT: another thing I wonder. There are no squad upgrades in this game right? Because you get a bonus for wiping a squad, but seeing there are no squad upgrades that seems weird.

I was beating my head against a wall all night trying to get the 3 vehicle kills with K bullets for the scout medal.

Then I found out that destroying abandoned enemy mortar stations counts as vehicle kills.

Sorta the same thing, kills with gas grenades count towards the "get kills with explosives" medal.

Don't know if the Zeppelin pilot can adjust the altitude, but you can cap points from the Zeppelin. This allows the team to rapidly capture points and secure the sector.
So yeah, having a Zeppelin on Operations can really turn the tide.

Behemoth .

Behemoths really help the team that's doing badly and that's a good thing. Yesterday I was playing the conquer hell operation and somehow we almost failed to take the first sector. Then we got a behemoth and managed to push up a lot, finally crashing it near the ballroom building. That creates a lot of extra chaos, making it possible for my team to push up and take the sectors. We won the entire operation after that.

I also do appreciate that Dice seems to have put the best looking weapon skins behind 100%ing each Campaign chapter. Especially since they put the best one behind the ( largely, gently caress that one codex achievement ) easiest to 100% campaign.

Which skins are that? And did you use a guide to get 100%? And if so, which one? Most of the videos I've found seem to be hit and miss.

For 100%ing Chapter 2. You can see the various card symbols on the chamber? ( I'm not gun man, don't kill me. ) and they move positions as you fire it. It's a loving incredible skin.

Thanks for the info, but I'll probably never get this since shooting down 10 airplanes in 30 seconds is just impossible

Took me about 5 tries with this method. Still not worth it.

I think I've tried about 50 times so far. I watched this video, and while I see the planes he's talking about, it's hard to shoot them all. I get no hitmarkers, I don't know if the plane that's smoking super hard and spiraling is actually destroyed or not, and on top of that the gun overheats super fast. Oh, and there's almost no way to identify allied planes, so I end up shooting a plane that won't go down for a couple of seconds while I should be shooting another plane. gently caress this codex.

Delacroix posted:

They could push support in the right direction with several small buffs. If limpets had more range and mortars had the 10 second accuracy penalty removed, that would help. Triple nerfing mortars was an overreaction. Dynamite or AT mines wouldn't hurt, it would be plain silly if they were given trench shields or barbed wire (encouraging static play is bad). If teammates could grab ammo from your backpack even if you had no resupply gadgets, that would be interesting.

Ultimately it'll likely be up to DLC weapons to pick up the slack however. I doubt they'll ever think about drastically adjusting LMGs outside of a camper mentality.

Then there would be no reason to ever pick the ammo pouches.
If players could take ammo from your backpack if you have either the crate or the pouches selected, that would be cool though. I'm getting tired of spamming the "Need Ammo!" speech and hitting my squadmates in the head with a shovel just to get their attention.

lmao, just tried this. It's the worst. Everyone is a sniper and the respawn timer is 20 seconds+. Probably to encourage medics to revive their teammates. But every hit from a sniper is a OHK, so that's not happening.

Once people start to realize that hitting T and putting up sandbags basically rebuilds the area I think it will be less zerg-y. I've seen tons of people just sit in the open when they could build a huge wall right next to them in under 5 seconds.

Thanks for that summary. Seems like a ton of weapons are still locked behind challenges, so I'll have to use different guns to unlock them. So when they're unlocked I should have some reference points to decide if I like the gun or not
