The main tank turrets are loving deadly. Just constantly one-shotting infantry from basically any range. Went 16-0 in my first game being in a tank. Good times.

You can just buy stuff in game though? Or is that not working for some people?

Squad leaders do. At least on one team. I used the "Go go go" command and my dude blew a whistle!

How the hell do you sign up for EA Access? I go to the website and when I click on the "Get EA Access" button, it just redirects me to a website selling Xbox Live Gold Memberships.

What gives?

You buy it on Xbox live, unless that's the button you're talking about.

When I click on "Get EA Access Now", it redirects me to this page: https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa...=1033&id=292543,which is just for an Xbox Live subscription. How does one actually purchase an EA Access subscription?

Are you saying I can only get it through my Xbox One browser, and not online?

Anyone else constantly getting the screen that tells you how many hours you have left popping up while you're in the middle of a game? Literally every 5 minutes. I've died so many times already due to that.

The Early Enlister Deluxe Edition comes out the 18th, and Amazon does release day shipping. I think it came out to $69 including tax with the prime 20% discount.

I'd expect things to be ok until the game unlocks for everyone on the 21st. I'm sure it will be a poo poo show then.

I can't even switch weapon loadouts in this game. Help? I've played 100+ hours of each console version of BF (even Battlefield 2: Modern Combat!) but never figure out half of the UI stuff, including how to use the weapons/stuff from battlepacks.

When you are on the class selection screen before you spawn just press the customize button. It's Y on Xbox. Also you can do it on the battlefield.com career tab.

Yeah, on Xbox you press Y to quit after a match, but the option goes away after about 10 seconds. A great design choice.

Holy poo poo, it actually shows the syringe fill as you pull the plunger? My TV must be too dark to see that. Makes sense since during the whole "adjust your brightness so the emblem is barely visible", the emblem was completely invisible even at 100% brightness.

I have a video I'll have to upload, where at the very start of the game on that close quarters desert map with 3 points, I rush from the spawn along the boundary and come up behind the enemy as they were capping the point closest to their spawn. I just parked the horse in a group of enemies and swung the sword until they killed me. I must have got 5 or 6 kills without moving.

Are the same medals available to everyone? My friend was describing the one he was doing, but I didn't have it available. How does it decide who gets what?

I spent yesterday getting to scout level 1 playing close quarters attack scout, which was difficult using the bolt action rifles. I finally unlocked the experimental semi auto scout gun though, so I'm excited to try it out after work today.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

The M1903 Experimental for the scout class is amazing. The damage is a little low, but it is laser accurate, and has FORTY-ONE shots in a clip. Trust me, just give it a try. It's a thing of beauty, and really makes the attack scout niche plausible.

RCarr
Dec 24, 2007

It would be MUCH worse if the game didn't let you spawn on squad members. It would just result in you spawning miles away from the action. It sucks the couple times a game you spawn and die instantly, but you always have the choice to spawn somewhere that's guaranteed to be safe if you want.

Can you kill someone by planting a dummy sniper post into their body? This is important.

I would like for the sprint button to work in crouch mode. I've gotten into trouble a lot of times because I have to stand up first.

This, a thousand times. I have no idea why pressing sprint doesn't automatically make you stand up, like it does in every other game ever made.

I think assault is pretty good? The anti-tank mines one shot any vehicle if you put 3 down and are hard to spot. Then you get dynamite as a backup.

As long as you aren't getting involved in long range gunfights it's perfectly fine.

This spreadsheet was in the BF4 thread. You might have to import these into Battlelog and hope they transfer to the BF1 companion since I doubt they've been updated with the new emblem editor.

My old one transferred over to BF1 without me doing anything.

What's the best way to level up the scout? I want to use that pickaxe melee weapon but it takes forever and laying back and missing most of my shots isn't that fun.

Flares will get you lots of spotting/assist points. To get to level one I would just shoot flares at the enemy and rush in with gas grenades and my pistol. Once you hit Scout level 1, you can buy the M1903 Experimental and just play close-mid range attack scout.

So does the game come with auto aim turned on or off by default? I just was reading some posts in this thread and someone mentioned autoaim and well, I am definitely not getting that when I shoot. I also am averaging about 2 kills a match. I am going to go home and see if I have it turned off, that would be incredible if it's the case

It's on by default. You just don't notice it unless it's egregious. It's not why you're averaging 2 kills a game.

Anyone else ever get the impression that everyone else's gun is way more powerful than the gun you've got? Like, bad mans are all "that sure is a nice LMG you're unloading into my chest, but check this out: *flicks cigarette in your face*" *dies*

There's a set of headphones on every map that give out some morse code signal when listened to. It's some extensive easter egg like the crazy one they had in BF4. Just wondering what's been discovered so far.

It's my favorite map. Operation locker literally had three hallway sized choke points, which were the ONLY ways to cross the midpoint of the map. This map is nothing like that.
