So images and video have started to come out of the collectors edition, and once again the release version of the statue is worlds apart from the advertised statue. Obviously a mass produced statue is not going to be the same quality as the master painted version, but this example seems particularly egregious. The master, assuming it's not just a clever render, appears to have cloth detailing, and the release is your subpar plastic fantastic action-figure. Was thinking of buying this at some point, thank god I didn't.

Going by the thingy in the background, something from Battleborn? That whole game turned out to be a clusterfuck.

Did they change the bullet speed? I am running scout with the Gewehr 98 Carbine and I swear I can throw bullets faster. There goes the getting up close and personal. :(

None so deprived
I don't know but I feel like I have an easier time hitting at mid-range with LMGs and SMGs, about the same with medic guns although they seem to pack a bit more punch now while the sniper rifles seem harder to score good hits with. Granted I'm not a very good sniper but it seemed easier in the beta.

I love playing support, I love gas grenades and I love mortars both airburst and HE. Tfw you thread the needle into a house with a hole in the roof and wipe a whole squad who don't know what's hitting them :clint:

In like 13 hours and a bit we'll know if it can be unlocked early with VPN to new zealand, gonna give it a try at least.

The price tiers for the pre-orders and editions and all of this is classic EA. Jesus christ, 130 bucks or whatever it is for the super ultra maximum biggus-dickus uber edition? Really? drat, EA. drat.

Game looks amazing despite this, and I'm tempted to grab it for $46 bucks on GMG.

Battlefield 2 with all the expansions cost $100 which is about $123 in 2016 money

The $130 edition contains more content than paying $123 bucks would get you in 2006, but yes EA is totally jewing you here, waah DLC is manipulative why can't we go back a decade when games cost the same amount of money for the same stuff

The Gewehr 98's unique characteristic is high bullet velocity, at 880m/s. Other sniper rifles are in the region of 700m/s. The exception is the Martini-Henry, that gun instagibs normal infantry between 30-80m in exchange for travelling at 440m/s. If you sniped at all in BF3 it feels like home.

I still can't get over sniper rifles rarely doing less than 80% health.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

If you are shooting at groups of infantry engaged in combat, you don't even need to aim for headshots since most of those guys are going to be below 100 health, which makes an easy body shot a 1 hit kill.

I know. You see it everywhere on maps with long sightlines like Suez or St Quetin's.

It's a big departure from older titles where damage fell off hard. Now the rifles cycle faster, require less lead and bodyshot for 92 damage from 90m away. A stray bullet is probable death.

Seriously though the 9 maps at launch + the free postlaunch one is hardly a lack of content, and the weapon selection is really differentiated which easily makes up for the lower raw quantity than some other battlefields. Premium is plenty of content for the money so I can't really see a reason to complain here. This isn't battlefront where there weren't enough maps to justify the list price.

I'm pretty sure its literally just playing a class and getting XP

I don't think you have to do class specific things

killing mans and capping points should level you up just fine

that being said as a medic buy the healing box with warbonds

also if you are at least level 1 pick up another gun. I think the mondragon is p good

Shoot men with you are rifle. If you or you are pals get shot give them the jimmy-johns. If you are comrade dies, give him some heroin.

Also cap flags, spot enemies and throw grenades at tanks just like everyone else.



Points and leveling have and always will be very straightfoward in BF games don't overthink this poo poo.

Grind through the first few hours of medic healing, reviving, and capping like mad until you get enough cash to by the moon dragon gun. It's a massive upgrade. For Support, I'd say the same for the Benet-Mercie. By contrast, Attack and Scout can get by with the default guns just fine.

for scout the russian 1895 at scout level 1 is pretty sweet tho

also for support the mortar is insanely good

when the shell flies up you get a birds eye view allowing you to adjust your shots accordingly

the HE version can wreck any tank with a efw direct hits (and infantry), and the airburst is awesome against infantry out in the open

and support actually gets a good direct terrain deformation thing, the limpet charge

yea you can put it on a tank or whatever, but if you know someone is o nthe other side of the wall just put it on the wall and enjoy your free kill

The M1903 experimental looks super cool. Instead of being a normal rifle it becomes a weird SMG-like gun with a 40 round magazine. For when you want to get aggressive with recon.

The damage is pathetic and the hipfire isn't good enough either. It's basically a much, much shittier MP-18. You're better off with the Man-Licker or the trench Winchester.
