Yeah they tried that poo poo on BF4 as well and it's just not intuitive compared to throttle being on the trigger

it is a bit weird that the throttles for various vehicles are in different places.

Thanks for tips re: planes, I actually got to chill in one while we waited for a server to fill up earlier today, getting the hang of poo poo.

Sorry again for bailing to... various goons, my playtime keeps getting cut short these nights. At least this time I earned my medal :3:

they really should have a minigame where you have to do $X amount of damage to the stuff on the map in a limited time ala burnout

This would be amazing.

Especially if there was a broader game mode to play it where one team is trying to do damage and the other is trying to stop them.

Haha holy poo poo yeah you definitely got a large number of tank kills tonight.

Great to play with everybody, thanks for chilling with us for the evening. My biggest accomplishment was using the middle of nowhere fortress gun on Empire to take the enemy dreadnaught from 100 to 1 health and have the killing blow stolen by some pubbie in a plane :(

Just finished a goddamn conquest game with pickle and red where the entire remainder of our team basically played deathmatch inside the fortress for the whole time. We got surprisingly less wrecked than we should have thanks to the three of us trying to occasionally play objectives, but seriously Just... go play deathmatch or domination??

Doesn't seem that hard, it has probably the most killing potential if lined up right. Those cannons can instant kill a tank if lined up right.

Played Giant's Shadow for the first time last night in Conquest. It feels like it's in this weird space where each individual point is really well designed and interesting to fight over, but between the points there's just nothing. I had fun with it though. It didn't seem like as much of a snipefest as people were complaining about, but my squad spent most of the time backcapping A/B so there was a lot of cover.

I agree, this map is a series of three vignettes separated by swathes of rollling hills. An interesting theory, but gently caress you if you get stuck in no man's land!

Played a few nights ago. Had people saying friend of the family constantly in chat for two games. Join a third and say "At least nobody is dropping N-bombs in here." First reply is "What are you, some kind of SJW?"
First game tonight in chat first thing I see is "Who else here hates niggers" followed my a slew of people saying me me me.

I usually don't complain about toxic communities but holy christ.

Unrelated to this game but a couple buddies and I were playing Rocket League the other night and somehow, typing through the system keyboard with controllers, we managed to piss some random kid off so badly that he brute-forced my friend's admittedly simple password and tried to gently caress with his PSN account. It wasn't like he could access any sensitive data but jesus someone got so mad just... reading incoherent simple phrases like "fuk u" and "ur mom" over a chat box in a game about If Sports Were With Cars?? that he went and tried to gently caress with someone's account.

Yeah the limpet throw limit is seriously annoying. I was 4 feet from an arty truck last night and threw the drat thing on the ground. You'd think lugging an LMG and 400 rounds of ammunition around would give support troops a little more upper body strength.

It's also dangerously inconsistent, if the game detects a vehicle it can attach to, it'll occasionally give the range a lil extra oomph. The reverse scenario is true as well, sometimes if I'm trying to place it on the ground it'll just drop at my goddamn feet.

I don't know what it is, maybe in initial playtesting Support was stupidly broken, so they turned the dial all the way in the other direction. So instead of being able to resupply your own equipment, they put all the gadgets on cooldown timers instead, gave you only LMGs so there's no real risk of running out of ammo that you could resupply yourself with, made the one gun that behaves sort of like an assault rifle with a magazine that blocks half the screen, and made it so you had to hump the bumper of a vehicle to stick a limpet to it. And then they nerfed mortars.

Yeah I think the challenge especially in a game set in WWI was how to differentiate class weapons in a meaningful way.

They're kinda stretching (of course the war itself prompted a hilarious amount of innovation in Man-Killing) having man-portable full-auto LMGs to begin with, and then you kinda run into the lack of distinction between medic semi-auto rifles and sniper rifles... and well these are kinda SMGs the very first of which was literally only introduced in 1918 or whatever for an assault class, where you kind of want to slot a shotgun into the rotation etc.

So then I imagine balancing all that poo poo is real difficult, where if you looked at it in reality a loving Lewis Gun would have been a hilariously OP deathmachine compared to a single-shot 1903 or whatever, so where do you statistically adjust various weapons to make them all Still Fun to play?

If the Benet Mercie had a bigger belt it's all I would ever use. Reloading it feels like starting a new page on a typewriter and I love it.

Yeah I'm legit in love with the Benet Mercie. If it had a bigger belt it's all ANYBODY would use because it's so goddamn good. They nailed the gratuitous reload, it's very "this gun is a tank just use your fist".
