EA Access lets you play the game a week early for 10 hours, if it's good you can preorder all the stuff.

I normally prefer Rush but on this map it's way more fun to stay in the town and play Conquest.

Chemmy
Feb 4, 2001

Once I unlocked the AT missile we started popping tanks. Also if you stay in the city area in conquest grenades, dynamite and at mines are effective.

I think Sinai is just an awful rush map.

EA Access for $5 this month lets you play on the 13th and take 10% off.

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

That's why I don't bother with DLC anymore. It's hard enough to get a big group going and adding DLC makes it even worse.

wish they would do something to discourage snipers.

I don't know why "guy who doesn't join in the play but gets a super powerful weapon with a huge zoom scope" is a mandatory include in multiplayer games.

Switch to the 372.90 drivers if you're using 373.06. 372.90 are better than the latest until they drop Game Ready drivers. I'm using 372.90 on a 1070 and my FPS jumped up around 20/30 on ultra versus 373.06 so you might get some benefit.

Wow things sound bleak on the PS4 side. Glad this doesn't happen on Xbox.

Single player?

Also, what happened to spotting? I can spot someone but they don't turn up on the mini map. But they do if they're spotted by the flare gun. but not on the screen.

I'd guess spotting will get un-nerfed in a big way soon.

I feel like right now 75% of people (pubbies) don't survive long enough to need it. Maybe that will change in a month when people have more situational awareness about the maps.

I'm not going to stop slaughtering pubbies in a month. Right now is probably when pubbies survive the longest in a BF game.

Snipers are just lovely. "Ah I should have known better than to walk into this spot where I got shot by someone who can see farther than me and has a one hit kill gun."

Don't stand in the open. Avoid the points. When you die to a guy your system doesn't even render it's because it's good and fun and if you don't like it you're bad at video games.

I think that's intentional so that Assault has some chance of blowing you up.

Chemmy

The assault guns aren't great and the assault vehicle explosives aren't effective enough to bother being one all the time.

I've been trying the model 10 slug... Man I want to love it but 93 damage. 93. And you almost never get a chance to take a second shot. Meanwhile you get one-shotted from across the map by any number of rifles.

Hit them with it and then a pistol?

In my opinion all "jeeps" and motorcycles need to be like 4x heavier. They bounce around like you are on the loving moon.

Also give us more jeeps. Just basic technical style vehicles.

Riding as a passenger in the sidecar you can't switch to third person view. On Monte Grappa that's a one way trip to vomit city. It's hilariously bad.

64 player operations is gonna take like two hours.

The first thing to do is dynamite the doors so that they disappear.

That's why 64p is good. It's nice to not be able to steamroll a whole team just because we have one competent squad.

I've won two games in a row as the Americans on Argonne, only to be utterly dominated next map on Sinai. Possibly because there are no tanks or planes on Argonne and the other team is composed entirely of tank and plane lords who don't know what to do without their vehicles?

Or maybe all the people who lost quit, or the server rebalanced and good squads joined. poo poo happens.

The game doesn't seem to track slug headshots well. I can consistently take off skulls with the medic guns and I got the shotgun headshots by wandering around shooting snipers.
