I play mostly support and the class isn't bad at all. How can people think no one needs ammo refill? That's pretty much the reason why tanks are running rampant because no one is resupplying the team's rocket AT guns. Ammo pouch fills up grenades instantly, this has many applications depending on your grenade choice. With gas or incendiary grenade you can do area denial very well. Alternatively, AT grenade to help dealing with armor or impact grenade for demolition work. Tripwire works great. I use the incendiary one since you can get multiple people with it and the fire slows people down even if they shoot the trap. Gun-wise, I use the MG15 suppressor variant. With the bi-pod deployed, it has very little recoil and the bullet has extremely flat trajectory. This allows you to engage target at very long range. I like to set up in the houses that overlooks D and I can easily reach out to any target in the desert. Firing in quick, one second burst also mitigate the overheating problem almost completely. The barrel cools down extremely fast the moment you stops firing it, even for just half a sec. pedro0930 fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Sep 5, 2016 |

I just think that the two first guns for support suck so bad that I can't play enough to get past them. I have fun with all the other classes but support I just can't do.

Weird, once you get past the annoying sight the Lewis is great for a run and gun sort of support as long as you watch your ammo for me anyway.

Saw a flamethrower dude coming at me, immediately dropped to the ground, pulled out my anti-tank rifle, and shot him in the chest  This game is cool but I don't think it's $60 cool. I almost feel like it's tradition to play the poo poo out of the beta and then never buy the full game

I dunno if this map was the best one to show things off. That one snoop dog played at E3 with the blimp seemed better. I also haven't seen anyone comment on the environment destruction. Its fantastic. When I'm in a tank and don't have anything to shoot at I just blow up random buildings. Ohmygodsquad fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Sep 5, 2016 |

I know this is exacerbated by being a free beta that anyone can play but sometimes I swear I'm playing against (badly programmed) bots. Hanging out at D in a light tank just nets you kill after kill after kill of people literally just running straight toward you. There was one time where I left one member of a squad alive for something like 30 seconds and the rest of them just kept spawning on him right in front of me over and over. It reminded me of playing 64 player Desert Combat in 1942, hopping in the A-10, and cluster bombing the bots that all run the same straight line between the flags

Hot drat the removal of the timer fixed the issue with the questionable usefulness of the behemoth. Also you can blow up the rock bridge so if you tire of snipers, bomb that poo poo  But right now the bomber is the best thing because dat gunner. A fully loaded bomber playing with the gunner in mind and with a fighter escort keeping attack planes off can dominate haaaaaaard. Anyway EA has my  I'm completely in. First BF I've preordered since 2.I'm King_Parliament on Origin if anyone wants to squad up

Because people are idiot spotters it can be stupidly hard to see a tank if the tank isn't silhouetted on a ridge and isn't spam firing constantly. Or at least it is for my stupid rear end. The number of times I know there is a tank *somewhere* but get shot in the face as I look the wrong way is embarrassingly high.

Or at least it is for my stupid rear end. The only time I get pissed off is when I'm sitting in the tank sponson and shooting directly at / repeatedly marking the tank that is sitting right outside of the driver's peripheral vision and shooting shells into our flank at point blank range, and the stupid loving driver just sits there panning slightly left and right to look for him, never moving, until he gets blown up. Then half the time when I try to jump out and leave the moron to die, I get placed right in front of the incoming enemy shell or just get vaporized by their passengers anyway. It is astounding how little situational awareness some people have. Like it doesn't even occur to them that is there is space beyond their 80 degree window view. The game definitely needs to toss up a little hint about third-person view when you get in the drivers seat because it makes driving around / seeing enemies so much easier. Also man, even with the xp bug ironed out, ranking up kits takes forever. I'm still at rank 0 with support somehow, despite playing like 10 matches with it and constantly being in the top 10 scorewise. I wonder if it doesn't count when you're in a vehicle or something, since that's technically a different class. I hope we get to keep the dogtags for people we melee killed in the beta. Today I had 3 enemies spawn right in front of me and I beat them all to death with a shovel.

Sure, it's prettier but the core gameplay hasn't gone beyond pre-determined environmental destruction and gameplay modes haven't changed in the slightest. Ideally, DICE would get smart and add a sequential Conquest mode but for whatever reason simply refuse. Hopefully at one point they'll release an updated 2142 but until then there are plenty of the titles this fall and winter that are just better.

I choose to spawn into a bomber Pilot in Team Chat: "JFC could you get out of the bomber please" I notice we are in the middle of nowhere on the map and heading out of bounds I look for the correct chat channel to type "Take me to an Objective and I'll bail" Pilot 4 seconds later: "I'll bet JFC is a real oval office. Get the gently caress out" We're deep in out of bounds Me: "Hey take me back to E and I'll jump" Pilot: "oval office" fin

Did they also buff the tailguns when they removed the time limit? I managed to take out 5 planes the last game and I usually can't take out even one unless someone else is shooting at it too.

I think some of the tailguns are different based on which plane variant you are in, but I haven't spent enough time in the gunner seat to confirm that. There are definitely times where it feels decently useful, and others where every single shot seems to deal 1 damage and have terrible spread.

Literally can't play this anymore because it crashes immediately on loading a map or 2 min after tops. Did all the usual poo poo to try to fix it but reinstalling drivers, installing older drivers, reinstalling the game and whatnot have not helped at all. edit: I had turned off the Pagefile and forgotten to turn it back on. gently caress me forever.

SeanBeansShako posted:Oh thank gently caress, I thought it was me despite landing so many shots at the enemy. Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on there but the tailgun is just a complete non-issue for any other plane in the sky. It seems to do less damage than your average infantry weapon... from the ground... across the map. I have unloaded the entire "clip" into the engine of a plane that was just short of riding our tail into the ground. If I was being even remotely threatening, I didn't know it, and the chase plane didn't seem to give a single gently caress about all the bullets flying directly at him while he happily destroyed the bomber and then flew off seemingly no worse for wear. (Not even a puff of smoke or damage to fuselage.) I wonder if the tailgun isn't just outright bugged and simply not doing damage.

This game is really fun but I am having a game breaking bug greater than half the time I play. I can't use any gadgets or the pistol, I am stuck with the main weapons half the time I play. And sometime I can't even spot or fire from a tank. Seems like this is just me though as I don't see any mention anywhere. In the latest instance of this, if I play scout, I can't do my k rounds. But everything else seems to work.

The only way I've gotten past it is by FIRST loading Origin INDEPENDENTLY of BF1, THEN firing up BF1, or, if that doesn't work, closing out of BF1 and restarting it.

I've had the opposite experience, both while tail gunning and while being shot at by a tail gun. In an attacker I was able to swap seats to the gun and basically disable a dogfighter that was riding my tail several times. If you're expecting the tail gun to outright destroy an enemy plane, its not going to happen. At best, you'll damage him enough that he'll back off, but dogfighters also have an instant repair thats on a cooldown, so maybe thats why the plane you were shooting at took so much damage. Try aiming at the upper part of the engine, planes might have a lot of health but pilots definitely dont.

You know that stupid ring-cliff at F that is usually infested with snipers? You can actually ride a horse up that arch and ride around the ring over and over, trampling them all  I saw a lot of Fog today, which has been really cool. The building destruction is great, I will give them that. It's really satisfying to bring the building down on top of bad snipers. The AT Rifle seems more suited for this task than the dynamite, which is buggy and weird. Does anybody have some good pictures of the angle to line up at to get F from the A cannon? I've tried a few times and have only gotten a bit of damage once
