I love that this time around instead of having a bunch of guns that look different but are the same, they just have a bunch of guns that are actually the same and don't pretend otherwise.

Firing no longer reveals you on the mini map, I have been waiting for so long to have a AAA FPS buck this dumb trend it is not even funny. This, spotting being massively nerfed in general, and footsteps being really loud go a long way toward making this a modern FPS that's actually worth buying.

ShineDog posted:So any faction can spawn any ground vehicle. Is that the same for aircraft? Like, britain will always have access to the fokker triplane and thats not a beta thing? The full game is even better. I'm pretty sure you can be a black German guy carrying a gun that was made in America and sold to Russia and a pistol that was made in Spain and sold to France. Faction specific equipment is a concept more suited to an asymmetrical game than a roughly symmetrical one.

DeliciousPatriotism posted:As far as sniping in concerned, it will get better over time. Sniping is fun (and I hate that recon exists at all) but I don't find them actually that threatening. To be honest grab the Gewehr Rifleman and run at points should to shoulder firing flash or spot flares and provide med range support. Has a virtually instant bolt pull, zero deviation and your sight picture stays on target. Plus, no scope glint! There are two "Gewehr" rifles (because gewehr is the german word for rifle). The Gewehr 1895 is the one you use for close range. It's a Mannlicher, which yes is pronounced man licker, and unlike the 98 it uses a rimmed cartridge, so just go ahead and call it the rimjob.

I'm now pretty convinced support is actually the best class in the game, mostly because the MG15 suppressive is insanely strong and resupplying nades and AT rifles is extremely good. It's viable all the way from melee to sniper range. I'm fairly sure it will get nerfed. 169 kills in under 2 hours with it. As far as vehicles, always use light AT grenades. They are almost as strong against infantry, and they do good damage to tanks. A support can keep a squad chucking grenades at a tank and it's actually pretty balanced. The key to taking on vehicles in this game is to use all the resources you have (at rifles, fixed guns, TNT, mines, AT grenades, light AT grenades) and gang up on them. It's not really viable to 1v1 a tank, but 5v5 a squad isn't completely hosed by a tank if they play it smart.

It's in the game, but people entering your vehicle through different doors instantly transforms it into different tanks, so it's hard to keep the one you want.

They're going to play objective modes specifically because of the objectives. In TDM, people playing to win need to hunt them down. In conquest, the best thing you can do to win is ignore them, which is exactly what they want - a shooting gallery that doesn't fight back is the entire point of sniping.

Monocled Falcon posted:I'm not understanding Medic guns. The low recoil and damage combined with the high rate of fire suggests they're spamy but I'm not hitting anything that way. I guess maybe the spread added per shot is much higher than the other stats should suggest. The Cei-Rigotti and M1907 have thoroughly ridiculous amounts of spray. The other two are much better. Also they can 3 shot at any range.

Support is incredibly strong right now but I heard they're going to nerf grenade resupply which would make the class useless (and also make tanks actually as broken as most people think they are).

You only get it from the gently caress you this game is really $80 version. Basically it costs $27 to actually get the game on the day of release when it probably won't work anyway, fly a red triplane, ride a black horse, and have behemoth skins you will never use because someone else will always spawn in it first. Gaming in 2016 is great.

I assume the experimental springfield is going to be the Pedersen device. I hope you can slamfire the 1897. Also it seems like they may really be sticking with the no attachments thing? I'll be very happy if that's the case. There is a rumor that BF1 will not allow servers with modified ticket counts or spawn times. I'll be super loving happy if that's the case, that poo poo is cancer. K8.0 fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Sep 12, 2016 |

The majority of people do not give a gently caress about multiplayer. Most gamers don't post on forums. This is the equivalent of like the truck forums where 500 dudes discuss everything under the sun about the F150 while a hundred million people just dgaf and drive one around every day.

Sinteres posted:Is that really still true? I know it was at one point for Call of Duty games at least, but buying Battlefield games for singleplayer alone seems crazy. Every DLC for every shooter being solely focused on multiplayer seems like it would be crazy if that's true too. Yes, it is. As to DLC, it's hard to milk casuals for money, especially because the average gamer generally doesn't even beat the games they buy. Go look at Steam Achievement Stats - for example, Portal 2 which was a very popular game and not very long or particularly hard, only about 2/3 of the people who bought it have played at all, and only about 1/2 of those people have finished the single player - and that's on Steam, where these types of games are selling to more hardcore players than on console. And consoles are still a very hardcore market compared to the casual phone and PC gamers that are the most common.

after unlocking the MG15 n.A. Suppressor, support was all I played the last few days of the beta. its too bad the infin-grenade glitch will be patched out of the final game, because I loved running between D and C throwing out ammo packs like a mad bastard, chucking incendiary nades into every building, and slaughtering folks with that beast of a gun.

DeliciousPatriotism posted:So my connect at EA confirmed that the classic ticket system is coming back, but the player score system is staying. Medics rejoice. That's good, but they really need to tweak the actual ticket numbers per point. In Beta, even if you held every single flag the enemy team would keep scoring, so it was literally impossible to make comebacks in lots of situations. It needs to work on a non-linear scale, where almost even flags results in very little ticket bleed, but holding 0 or 1 flags means you lose in a minute or two. The way it was in Beta you were best off just holding 4-5 flags, because it's very hard to stop backcaps that then flood across the map when you hold every point, so you actually tend to lose your advantage if you're holding 6-7 flags. re: relaaa - he's a comically obvious cheater. His aimbot is set to lock onto the closest target in his FOV, so you see him constantly snapping to guys that haven't even noticed him after ADSing on the target that a human being would actually kill first.

Because when kills mean nothing, the way to win when you're down even 1 flag is to avoid all combat and always go to the least defended flag. Not really conducive to fun.

Wales Grey posted:So what you're saying is that when you're not winning because the enemy attacked successfully, the way to win in the new system would be to successfully attack them? No, the way to win would be to avoid attacking them and stand on empty flags a lot. Riveting gameplay. Doubly true when combined with the fact that attacking uncontested flags gives you enormous points and defending flags gives you dick all.

When you make the key to winning not fun most people don't play to win, no poo poo? That's all the more reason to make winning be about doing various fun things and not mostly about which team has five guys willing to sit in an armored car all game running around capping flags but running away from any serious opposition. It's exactly what happened in the beta, goons stopped focusing on winning once we realized that doing it consistently involved playing in ways that aren't fun.A Saucy Bratwurst posted:https://cdkeyprices.com/battlefield-1-cd-key EA has a history of loving people who buy out of region keys.

You can get the digital deluxe edition for $70 if you buy an AMD code off ebay, or you can just get the base game for $47 from GMG. It's kinda a no brainer - you don't miss out on much and you can avoid supporting EA's incredibly lovely business practices.
