Didn’t get to play the new map last night but shoutout to the horrible squad I was in last night on St Marie Du Mont.

We’d be fighting over the middle point back and forth but no one was building garrisons. Our squad lead never talked at all except once when I asked him by name to build an OP and he corrected me that I pronounced his name wrong. We had two squads multiple times at the final enemy cap point even though we weren’t that far up and of course there is no way to cap that point. Just a completely poo poo game and a waste of 90 minutes.

And you may be asking yourself, but why don’t you just become an officer in your own squad. Well selfishly I’m trying to grind a few other classes myself. I often switch to officer because no one wants to. I’m level 66 and my officer class is Level 6 and about to cross into 7. But some of my others like anti tank and engineer are still 2.

I’ve become a bit of a curmudgeon in games lately but it’s simply because there are a few basics that not only help your team win but just make losing slightly less painful. Namely getting a row of defensive garrisons down early. It’s just weird when you have an officer on your team who was something like level 45 so they’re clearly not new to the game just not doing anything and literally acting exasperated when you just ask them to put an OP down.

Why don't we just start shooting tar heroin instead?
On gamepass and I get a network connection error whenever I boot the game after the newest update. Found one post online with something similar but still havnt resolved the issue. Reinstalled game, checked firewall setting, flushed dns and pinged the servers. Any tips? I might just bite the bullet and buy it on steam but I'm not sure if gamepass is really the issue.

Ever since the update, the team chat usually has a few fellows that can’t turn off the server messages until you go into the score menu and click the “y” next to the Yes option.

Nice update boys.

Yeah that happened to me and it took me way too long to figure it out (even when the server message itself even said “CLICK ON THE Y”)

I really like the new map. The foliage makes it a camper paradise but overall I’ve enjoyed the matches I’ve had on it.

That's the part I like the least. You need grenadiers to clear out fields that hold little importance and there's always some dude sitting way off watching. I have had fun assaulting the middle point on the hill with a lot of explosives, but not a lot of fun defending it.

I had a horrible game on it. Getting killed nonstop from locations I couldn’t see. But I just like that it’s a change of pace from the wide open field maps.

Also my team lost yesterday but I had maybe the best recon game of my life. Me and a buddy were just non stop taking down the enemy nodes and garrisons. And I was spotting and my friend was hitting everything. It was beautiful.

I had a really good machine gunner game last night. I wish Machine Gun had like, one more class level after 3 to grind because I just love playing machine gunner. Got a 275m head shot plunking at guys from across a field.

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

I had the luckiest moment I’ve ever had in this game: Night match on one of the Normandy maps, hunting for a OP, I see some guys coming toward me, and I basically swing my Thompson and land three head shots in a row from the same mag dump. The headshot pings that fast were hilarious and the other guy in my squad that was close by went “holy poo poo” while I was just cackling. Then the 4th German shot me as I was reloading but my squad mate got him and the OP.

It's moments like this that really keep you coming back for more.

My long range machine gunner stuff happened because we were on our back heel and the enemy decided to build an offensive garrison that just happened to be in a pretty open field. I saw that and setup from distance and they just kept trying to spawn there where I'd cut them down.

Ok, I'm not even mad, this was brilliant:

Hill 400

We've just taken the medium off spawn and raised hell - went and helped the point cap, did a drive by and kept going into their mid and top spawn.

Blew up 3 tanks, 1 recon, and 4 trucks. Rode back and held the next point until a satchel took us out.

So we kicked the hornet nest a bit.



Here's the brilliant bit:
Somebody had built a repair station on our team very close to our spawn.
An enemy AT or Engineer or group, who knows, put down something (possibly a supply ammo box) in the grass growing in the road next to the repair station.

That drew our eye, thinking it was a clever mine. So we come to a stop, take a shot, then keep moving and "boom" satchel goes off.


These motherfuckers put in bait to stop us, then laid in the grass uphill to watch. When we briefly stopped for a quick look - deep in friendly territory - they got us.

So goddamn smart.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


Few months ago my buddies and I had a real Band of Brothers moment when we found the enemy garrison in a trench near a busted flak 88

Well,three of us prepped nades from behind a stone wall and hurled them into the pit, about 25 feet away, then we just unloaded with our Thompsons and Garands while the nades went off, body parts flying everywhere.

Once we mag dumped we went in and took out the garrison. Must have taken out two squads there. Felt cinematic as hell.

If this was US offensive and you had a guy whiff like 6 rockets from upsettingly close range, I was the guy trying to kill you over and over again with no goddamn luck even when I had perfect rear end shots that sailed by ineffectually. Coming off a game with 4 tank kills made this extra disappointing. Glad they got you in the end even if it wasn't the same match :3:

Managed to fix my issues with the game so I will join. In as Znaps. I don't have a mic yet but I'm a good listener and will bring supplies and ammo.

Last night I ended up playing cat and mouse with a tank and was prone behind a hedgerow. The drat tank drove right over me and somehow I survived.

Gentlemen.

Discord is a-go.

We're about 2-3 games deep from last night and an impromptu session at lunch.

gently caress yes, we're off to the races.


Thank you Mauser - you've done something awful.

GG sorry for pulling you onto the loser team at the end lol.

I took admin privileges away from the protected role just in case some funny person wanted to delete the channel, but everything else should still work and let me know your usernames if you want roles.
