Horses seem kind terrible, but still awesome. You're just so vulnerable to getting shot right off the thing, and it's not exactly resistant to bullets either.

I find it weird that you fire the rifle one handed. They really couldn't have gone the much, much cooler route and let you actually take aim? There's also one single guy streaming rush gameplay on twitch if you guys want to see some more gameplay I guess.

Man you guys who haven't actually gotten to play yet are in for a fuckin' hell of a treat when you finally get to experience the magic of the transforming heavy tanks/landships. It's a bug where any time someone enters your heavy tank/land ship it changes the loadout of the tank so you could theoretically transform to suit your needs on the battlefield. Yes it's awesome.

At first I thought gas grenades were kind of "meh" but I'm having a lot of success using the around C. Just equip your trusty shotgun and throw one gas grenade on each floor of the building you're about to storm and you can usually clean it out easy peasy. Plus killing people while wearing a gas mask feels good for some reason. Also someone said all gas hurts you, even allied gas, but this is demonstrably untrue. Friendly gas will still make you cough though.

Aaaand now I've got a bug where I can't buy any melee weapons because I don't have the required kit rank even though I very clearly do. Does anyone know what the "extras" icons are for the melee weapons? There's a little tank, a little barbed wire, and a little buzz saw looking thing.

rap music posted:Can you buy it through your battlefield.com account interface? Unfortunately not. I'm rank 4 in my assault kit. The top rank needed for any of the melee weapons is 2. I can buy the spiked club, but not the knife, mace, hatchet, or pickaxe. Luckily the spiked club is loving insanely badass. Lots of pubbies claiming that tanks are OP and I really don't find this to be the case. The assault AT rocket rifle does a ton of damage and 2 guys can easily kill a landship or heavy tank. Not to mention the mines and all classes get light AT grenades. I hope DICE doesn't go overboard and nerf armor into uselessness. Canister shot might be a little OP in terms of range though.

Inside Out Mom posted:Saber owns. I really wanted to scream HEAL YOURSELF at my screen, but anyway solid saber action 10/10. Also while riding your horse the cavalry rifle is laser accurate. As long as you can adjust for travel time you can consistently land shots from across the desert. Like, from the British side of D all the way to A, easily. At first I thought the cavalry class was horrible trash that you only picked to gently caress around, but I'm stupid and wrong.

Delacroix posted:If the Russian 1895 can do 97 damage to normal infantry ~40 metres away but a point blank shot to an officer is 68, they must have 1.5 times health or more. I'm nearly 100% positive their health is bugged when on a horse. Pay attention to how quickly you get shot off your horse by even one enemy soldier. Compare that to when you're on foot and nobody stands a chance of gunning you down before you saber them to death. I guess it could be intentional.

BTW trip mines own no matter what you do but the wire that extends from the explosive always springs out in the direction that you're looking, rather than to the closest wall which is what people seem to think. It's a little easier to hide your explosives with that in mind. No longer will you have to put your trip mines right in the middle of the doorway/stairway (though this never really stopped people from running into them)!

The barrage bomber becomes really easy to get kills with when you realize the 3 ability with the picture of an eye automatically spots everything in the bomber sight for the whole duration.

Trip mines were great and I'd argue broken on support because you could place 2 and immediately replace them once they get triggered. Anyone who disagrees just doesn't understand how to place them so the wire does what you want.

Nah, medic guns were good and are good at close to mid range, the ranges you're supposed to use them. I realize this is subjective but I don't it's a valid complaint that you want to be able to empty your ammo as fast as possible at the edge of its effective range. To say you have to memorize anything is definitely an exaggeration though. EDIT: I'm watching Operation mode or whatever on stream and I dunno why people were smack talking it. It looks infinitely more fun than Rush. I'm having a blast just watching it. Like easily just as playable as Conquest. Fresh Shesh Besh fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Oct 15, 2016 |

Yeah I'm watching LIRIK play right now and he had a full server which looked like an absolute blast, but as soon as he tried to do a different campaign thing it just put him into an empty server. I hope people play it on release. EDIT: I can see how it might seem a little too linear for some people but just from watching gameplay it does a really good job of focusing the action and making you feel the entire team is working together. It feels more like the final act of a war movie than conquest does. Very excited to play it regardless. Fresh Shesh Besh fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Oct 15, 2016 |

Yeah you have 2 or 3 objectives that you cap like conquest, then it moves to the next area of the map like rush. Then, if the attacking team pushes through the whole map they move to the next map in that specific Operations campaign. They keep going until they push to the end of the last map or lose, then they switch sides and start again at the first map I think. Attackers get 3 tries per campaign before they really lose. Also all of this is driven by little narrative cutscenes before each match starts. Also it's for 64 players I think. Fresh Shesh Besh fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Oct 16, 2016 |

I got back to the server browser and there were zero servers with people in them. I added all the regions to the filter and managed to only find a Japanese server playing Fao Fortress. I'm willing to bet a large number of trial players used up their 10 hours already.
