Anyone notice that players don't tend to stay inside the tanks as much any more in hardcore? Side gunners and such. Is it because of the lack of view now?
 
I think theres some issue with 3rd party servers showing up in the browser. 2-3 days ago the 24/7 amiens servers were always full. now they are empty. they dont show up in my server browser. only way I can see them is cause I added them to favorites.

The M1903 Experimental and some of the carbine variants of the rifles. The M1903 Experimental was an invention for USA troops so they could quickly pop off small caliber pistol rounds in semi-auto fashion using their standard issue M1903 bolt action rifles. They could insert and remove the Pedersen device at will to switch between regular rifle rounds using bolt action or a full magazine of pistol caliber firing as fast as they pulled the trigger. In-game, the M1903 experimental is really weak right now and needs a buff but it is usable as long as you aren't the first guy over the hill facing the everyone else with SMG's and shotguns. If you go this route, play it like the medic class as I explain below.

===================

People are very used to the medic class formula that was introduced in BF2142 then repeated successfully in BF3 and BF4. People don't seem to want to break the habit.

Say it with me now...

MEDIC ISN'T THE ASSAULT CLASS. THE MEDIC ISN'T THE ASSAULT CLASS. STOP PLAYING THE MEDIC CLASS LIKE THE ASSAULT CLASS. :D

You have to play it conservatively. Unless you have the M1907 Sweeper, you absolutely DO NOT want to be the first guy over the hill or around the corner. Pick a piece of cover, pop out, get 1-2 guys 20-50 feet away, reload, rinse repeat. If you got more than one guy getting closer than 20 feet from you then use a grenade to take them out or scare them into staying in your rifle's sweet spot. Augment your loadout with a pistol good for hipfire and that either fires quickly or has high damage. Use your pistol when you are stuck in a close quarters situation.

Don't be the lone wolf guy as a medic. Be with a squad of guys. Let the Assaults go out first, cover them when they charge out from cover. If they die, THEN you charge out and go revive them after you clear out their killers. Then you hop your ass back behind cover and let the assaults continue the push.

If you play like this, I guarantee you can get 20+ kills in a round and an insane amount of points from revives and heals. I've done it myself plenty of times. The only maps where these tactics are near impossible is Amiens and Argonne Forest simply due to map design. On those maps just equip the M1907 Sweeper and be done with it.

People wrek with the Mondragon, which gives you the ability to play a scout pretty much as good as a scout that goes for objectives, yet you have heals, and revives. The M1903 is trash, I was trying to get to a 100 with it, but seriously, its trash. The Scout Infantry style weapons are soooo much better, at times I feel stupidly powerful when an area is doused in gas, makes for single shot kills, fish in the barrel I say. lol :) My weapon of choice, just because I have skins for it is the 1895 Infantry, kind of wish I would use the MKIIICarbine offering but hey, I like my lever action.

This has been a complaint since rental servers launched. They fall in and out of quickmatch and fall off fthe server browser. On top of it people have found if you don't mark every setting exactly how the server has it they don't always show up.
 
This game is fucking infuriating sometimes. The fighter aircraft guns are shit but aircraft defensive guns shred fighters, tanks move slower than infantry which can throw an anti tank grenade 100 yards, repair is so slow that you can't get away from infantry let alone mechanized vehicles........fucking gas grenades.......9 anti air emplacements on Monte Grappe so fighters can't even dogfight.................infantry running around at flank speed like cocaine addicts looking for a sack.....


Fuck. Bring on WW2 already.
 
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your perspective), the tanks are fine. Let's face it. In public games, you either get teams which will crush any tank that spawns within seconds, or you'll be the sole assault person taking on that heavy, which decimates your team, but the 31 other players on your team are far too stupid to even think about attempting to take it out.
 
ok so i installed the game and i cannot play it at all. Everytime i try to load a multiplayer map it crashes to desktop. Tried dx11 and dx12
 
Seriously i can't fucking play this game! it just crashes to desktop every fucking time! i am using the latest drivers from AMD with a RX480. Never had this problem before.Any suggestions?

Check the game files for integrity. Hit up the event viewer in Windows for clues.
 
i think i figured it out i selected update game in origins and now it's downloading a 7 1/2 gb file
 
wow this game runs so smooth. at least in single player lol. running 2560x1600 @ 150% supersample, ultra settings. Will I likely have to change this for multiplayer?

I dropped an average of maybe 10% in frame rate at most. It's not that much of a difference. You should be good.
 
I am enjoying the fark out of this game. Hit level 22 now. Killing idiots with that shotty lol. Amiens and Argonne Forest are my favorite maps. Suez is good too for medic snipers or snipers in general. I unlocked the Russian 95 sniper and destroying fools with it.

I agree with many of your points. The game can be infuriating, especially with all the noob mechanics they put in the game to try and close the gap between skilled players and the clueless. Not to mention all the bugs.

This game is like the equivalent of bringing Michael Bay to game development. All shock factor and gimmicks, shallow and little replay value.
 
I don't agree but yeah different strokes. Not sure what bugs you are facing but my experience has been largely pleasant as in HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING SEX pleasant.
Tank and repair speeds can be increased though yes.

Gas grenades are boss. Infantry flanking is very nice as well. Almost as fast as COD bunny hopping bullshit!
 
The thing about gas grenades is that EVERYONE throws them hoping to fuck with the enemy. But the problem is, they fuck with your own team. They can kill friendlies, and they interfere with your own teams situation awareness as well as negating the ability to ADS. More than once I've seen 5 or six gas nades deploy and there is only one enemy in the cap, or maybe even no enemies because people just chuck them as a reflex.
 
I gave up using the server browser. Almost every time, it will say there are 0 servers which have any people on them at all. Yet I can find a match easily with matchmaking. The problem here is that I often get put in west coast servers, which are 2000+ miles away, and give me a ping above 90. About the only thing I use are the recent servers from the server browser.
 
I though I was the only one that noticed that everyone seems to play on the West Coast servers.

Edit: Loving the M1907 Sweeper. I unlocked it on a whim because it's the only full auto medic primary. It just fits my play style when I play medic. I was using the Selbstlader m1916, it reminds me of the Garand from other games.
 
Can someone else with high skill ranking tell me something: did the patch change your spawn/new game countdown delay?

I have a super fast PC and almost always got the good vehicles etc on server start before the patch. After the patch, like the entire server loads before me it's incredibly frustrating. My countdown to the new round actually slows down, something it never used to do.

So my question is, did the put in some artificial delay for those of us with high skill or why am I taking so long to get in the game with a super fast PC and internet connection? Has anyone noticed similar behavior after the patch?
 
I think so vega. I recall from the beta there was something like that going on for me too. A friend said it was some random lottery bs.

I believe so. I noticed it pre-patch too and people noticed it as far back as the Alpha. It does keep certain people from playing exclusively vehicles. There were people in BF4 that had vehicle spawn scripts or other tricks they used to be the only one to get a specific vehicle every time. From what I can tell, this breaks that behavior which is actually a good thing. That behavior absolutely wrecked servers. Little Bird, 2 engineers repairing and firing lock-ons, a support to throw ammo when they landed...it got out of hand. I've got nothing against the skilled pilots since they spent hours to get that good, but the hoarding of vehicles combined with their friends keeping them immortal, it was too much. And they only patched out the ability to launch lockons from the little bird.

The other thing I've noticed...If I go open a battlepack I just got or go into the other screen at all, it slows the level loading. This might be coincidental and possibly just the other thing you mentioned.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Sadly, this mechanism to slow you down eliminates one from getting any vehicles. So now I have to spawn and run from the spawn point just because I am good with vehicles? Simply outrageous.
 
Well. They are doing their best to appease the vocal kiddies. It hurts the youngsters when they don't get medals. Bad oldies keep killing me! Lol
 
Ran into my first aimbotter last night wooo! Guy goes like 78-10 with an LMG getting strafe kills and hitting every shot. I didn't think that was even possible
 
I've just been scrapping every Battlepack hoping to find some pieces for the special club its the only thing that might be fun. The skins are useless as you really only see them when someone kills you.

Yeah but these are not metro type maps so it's pretty much impossible to go 70ish-10 unless you're tank whoring. He was just destroying everyone with an LMG. KissChaox is his name.

I've seen several players go 70, 80 even 90 and 5 and most are highly suspect. At least to me. Might be legit but I doubt it. Watched one guy go multiple rounds of 70-100 kills and no tanks. Seemed like everytime I saw him he had the Flame Kit and was almost unkillable. I personally killed him once with an entire MG drum and 2 pistol clips.
 
For the puzzle pieces, save up for superior battle packs. Though, has anyone gotten more of one weapon than another? I'm currently sitting at 4 & 3, with each piece coming to balance things out.

And is there any real point for using squad boosts over scrapping them? I don't see what level 100 would get me that I don't already have at level 50.

Some of the melee unlocks can damage light vehicles (useless imo), and some can damage wood and/or wire. I've been using the hatchet because it damages wood and wire, which is useful when you want to chop a hole in a wooden object to fire out of, or when you want to go prone in an area with barbed wire.

Otherwise I would just run with the knuckle knife, because it's cool as fug.

I have 4 pieces for the knife and I think 2 for the club. The club looks cool as hell. I scrap xp boosts because like you said, not a whole lot of use. I do appreciate when someone in my squad runs one though.

I think some of them can damage tanks too. Still waiting for the right moment to bust out a club against a tank :D
 
How do you actually use the guns unlocked in a battlepack? I have yet to spend the time to figure this out. I have looked in my available unlocks but do not see these guns? Or am I just not paying attention. I am talking about the whatever model with Legendary status guns.

You probably unlocked a skin, not a gun. You can change the weapon skin in the modify weapon menu.

Skins? lol I give no fucks about cosmetics. Thanks though.

That KissChaox is a cheat. Looking at his stats there are some definite signs. Top 1% in longest headshot with a 550 being a real stinker.

How so? My longest headshot right now is 440 something. Some of the sniper rifles can zoom up to 10x if you go into customize options, the most I used is 8x though. 550 isn't out of the question, but a damn nice shot if it's legit.
