 This is the PC thread. If you are enough of an idiot to play Battlefield on console then go make you are own thread for it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEGz7p_yg_c WEAPONS MARKED "FACTORY" ARE WORTHLESS, BUY OTHER poo poo INSTEAD!Join the buttchugs.vodka mumble channel if you want to play with goons!Battlefield that series that everyone who doesn't play it keeps comparing to Call of Duty even if you actually sat down and played the two you'll realize that they don't really have much in common aside from being FPS games. The Battlefield series are large scale multiplayer FPS games developed by DICE and published by EA. The series has three main hallmarks that work together to make it unique. The first is the large, 64 player games. Maps are big (but not too big that would be boring as gently caress walking everywhere) with large (but not too large it would lag the server to hell and back, incinerate you are CPU and not even be fun to play) player counts and combined arms (TN: "combined arms" is milsperg for there are vehicles to drive in addition to running around with your machine gun) that make a multiplayer match a grand affair of amazing scope. Second is the objective based gameplay that encourages cooperation and tack-dicks among people grouped together in squads. The third hallmark is environmental destruction. Buildings can be blown apart, craters form when you blast holes in the ground and now even a giant loving airship can crash in the middle of the map and wreck everything. Battlefield 1 is the I-don't-care-what-number-we're-up-to entry in the series. It differs from past games in that it's set in Dubya-Dubya-Won. You take on the role of an African American Soldier in the German army/whatever the Turkish equivalent of an African American is, use tac-dicks to lead your team of African-American German soldiers to victory, and learn the importance of bludgeoning Australians to death with spade-shovels in the process. So what are the classes this time around? Well it's like this:  ASSault Equipped with either a shotgun or SMG for close quarters combat. He carries anti-vehicle weapons such as AT grenades and a portable 37mm canon. Basically he's the engineer class from BF3/4/Hardline but with more focus on blowing poo poo up. Support He is armed with a high-capacity light machine gun. In the alpha the LMGs all did less damage up close than the SMGs so don't worry BF1 is a totally realistic game where getting shot with a .30-06 round is less deadly than a 9mm handgun bullet. His gadgets are what they were in BF4, ammo supplies and weapons for indirect combat like mortars and mines. Medic Got himself a self-loading rifle that is good for medium/long ranges but far from useless up close. As the name implies he can equip bags of medical supplies to heal friendlies and a syringe full of what is probably heroin to revive them, which of course can be injected into an enemy to make them OD. If this sounds like the Assault class from previous BF games you are absolutely right (poo poo he even gets a grenade launcher), why they decided to gently caress with the names is beyond me! Scout His gadgets are designed to reveal enemy locations and provide intel for his allies and poo poo. His options were limited in the alpha but they'll probably be much better for the final release. Tanker/Pilot Is that a fifth class? The gently caress is this nonsense? When you spawn in a tank or plane you get a special class that is specially suited for that vehicle. Both of them are equipped standard with a repair hammer that they can use inside the vehicle. And if his vehicle is destroyed he can still roll on niggaz with his swaggin' carbine. Elite Classes Tank Hunter, Flame Trooper and Sentry. Respectively armed with the T-Gewehr, Flammenwerfer and MG08/15 medium machine gun; wepon far too stronk for a normal soldier to be allowed to spawn with. These three classes will function like more specialized battlefield pickups that you can find on the map.  Links and poo poo: BF4 thread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3572743 Old BF1 thread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3774965 buttchugs.vodka mumble thread (join mumble to Symthic, a site with very detailed stats about wepon, gadgets, and vehicles (just don't read their forums) - http://symthic.com/ Goon platoon: No web UI for platoons, in order to join the official goon platoon: DIE KUMTRUPPEN  you'll need to go into the in-game platoon page (shield icon on the left side of main menu) and do a search for KUMTRUPPEN (tag: [KUMT]). A platoon leader will hopefully process your application shortly.New features, changes and other bullshit: -Weapon loadouts changed: Guns now have semi-preset configurations of attachments. For instance a gun with the "trench" preset will have superior performance at close range, while one with "suppression" will have a larger magazine. There will still be attachment configuration within those presets. -Vehicle spawning reworked: Tanks and aircraft now require you to spawn into them. Spawning in a tank or plane will also give you a special tanker/pilot class with their own gadgets and a pretty swag carbine. -Horses and bayonets:   -Memes: End here! -19th Century British Navy phonetic alphabet: "Attack objective Apples." "The enemy has taken objective Duff." -Old Weapons: Lewis Guns, MP-18s, Browning Auto-5s, Revolver Carbines, Mauser Broomhandlers, Winchester 1895 lever-rifles and of course the mighty T-Gewehr (TN: "T-Gewehr" is Kraut for "Tank-Rifle")! -New special big rear end vehicle bullshit thing that I don't give a gently caress what it's called: Zeppelins, battleships and armored trains which can be fully controlled by players and also fuckin destroyed by them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgELwveVCB8 -African-American Germans: Or "Schwartz-Deusche" if you prefer. -Some lovely Battlelog replacement app: Group up with your pals, browse for servers and manage your loadouts! Just like with Battlelog but now you need to launch an app to do it instead of it being conveniently in your internet browser! -Lots of bullshit for people to get butt-mad in ingame chat over: Saying "America won WW1" is the best way to trigger any euro-trash in game. Try it out for yourself! -DLC:  -Questionable patching decisions: Thanks Danger-Close! -A bang-bus: You can make that Turk your bitch. -A not suck-rear end melee system: Holy gently caress!  FAQ I've never played a Battlefield game before, would I be able to play this one and still have fun? Yeah, just play with goons and don't worry too much about being terrible. This game looks like it will be lots of fun. But I don't want a World War 1 game that's fun, I want it to be tedious, boring and frustrating. Should I bitch in this thread about how BF1 won't be boring? If you want a boring and frustrating WW1 game where no one is allowed to equip self-loading firearms please buy Verdun (http://store.steampowered.com/app/242860/) and never post in this thread ever again. What are the difficulties like? Is this a question about the single player? Can my PC run this game? Handuar's old computer with a goddamn Core 2 Xtreme from 2008 could run the alpha. Not especially well mind you but it did work. Try the beta to make sure though. If you've missed the beta than Star Wars Battlefront has a free trial and will have similar system requirements. Full specs will be in this thread once DICE releases them. Is this game good? gently caress. Yes. Can I post spoilers in this thread? The Ottomans lose. Will this game have Blackadder references? I would be shocked if it didn't. Why does this OP seem familiar? I have no idea what you're talking about. I have incredibly strong feelings about DLC/the proliferation of automatic weapons in WW1/Bill Cosby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpndHtdl9A Is this game like CoD? This game is exactly like CoD. Would you rather drink Bleach or eat Shitpuddin'? I actually drank Bleach once. My one friend keeps egging me on to drink more but I tell him to gently caress off. Any special bullshit I gotta do to unlock crap? Currently unknown, I'll keep you posted of any ARG bullshit that DICE puts in this game Hitler was in WW1 right? Is he in this game? No.  Who is the objective best waifu? Well my personal waifu is Rudy Reyes from Generation Kill, who is not in this game. The best waifu in all of World War 1 would probably be Manfred von Richthofen, aka "The Red Bum-Run." Help! My gun sucks! Anything labeled "Factory" or "Low Weight" is going to suck. "Trech" guns have better hip-fire. "Optical" better spread. Factory/Low Weight have better recoil decrease which is a near useless stat. The game actually tells you this. Can you make this one stupid, unneeded and unfunny change to the OP? I will make any change to the OP you want so long as the person who asks for it can beat me in a 1v1 deathmatch in John Romero's DAIKATANA. I extend this offer to everyone in the thread. You are NOT allowed to choose a champion to fight in your place. Hey how do I- If you have any further questions ask in the thread. If there's a question that people keep asking over and over again I'll add it here. *Not actually your real little sister. DoctorStrangelove fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Rolling Scissors posted:Say whaaat? Yeah so here's the deal with it. Most browsers are no longer supporting the type of plugin that Battlelog needs to work, so EA needs to get rid of it. They still want there to be a single Battlelog style interface where they can manage crap for all the Battlefield games at once but a website is no longer going to be an option. The UI for this apparently has already been implemented on the PS4 version of BF4. They claim it will have all of Battlelog's functionality, which is good but it's still less convenient than a website you can get to with just two clicks.

BF1 is much better game. Randler posted:Without Battlelog, does Battlefield One still allow for creative emblem creation like BF4? Battlelog is being replaced but most of its functionality will remain intact. You noticed the stylized country emblems on your guns? In the final game those should be your customized emblems.

Bloodplay it again posted:Did they also buff the tailguns when they removed the time limit? I managed to take out 5 planes the last game and I usually can't take out even one unless someone else is shooting at it too. They didn't make any actual changes to the game. They just changed the server settings. The tail guns are the same as they've always been.

Yeah the old system was stupid and they're keeping it because retards can't understand why. The new system was easier to understand, didn't punish aggressive play and made the rounds end in roughly the same amount of time regardless of how populated a server was.

I think he's more referring to how the FAMAS model in BF4 is a mashup of two or three different versions of the gun. And I'm of the opinion that getting mad at Ottoman soldiers with MP-18s while not getting made at Russian soldiers with the loving PDR is dumb.
