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.

Yeah they need to unnerf spotting to reward people that can press buttons. A lot of people seem to have issues with this as evidenced by all the gas grenade kills I'm getting

Snipers are too abundant and easy to use.

just make them a map pickup like the flamer or the sentry so half the team that doesnt want to play the game can gently caress off up on some hill and fight over it.


Also I got the 'play the objective' achievement on xbone, which is a rare achievement, that 2% of the playerbase has unlocked :v:

Multiplayer is good, single player is good, game is good. I like all the maps, bolt action with iron sights is da best. Getting 3 vehicle kills with k bullets for the current scout medal is a PITA though.

Game is pretty great (much like the war).

My only gripe is there isn't much in the way of unlockables. It's basically just guns and equipment. Nothing cosmetic or anyway to differentiate your soldier. I guess this makes sense since there are so many different factions it would be kinda hard to have unique outfits for each. I was hoping for something more along the lines of battlefront in that regard.

They persist and you have to be tracking it to get credit towards it. I don't know if tracking a different medal will wipe the old one though.

I think more customization would be great, especially since the squad screen shows you each persons soldier despite each squad looking exactly the same since they're all just a bunch of medics and assaults and maybe a support or sniper. It doesn't have to be crazy, but I kind of hope it is just to make the people who cry about emblems in frame ruining their immersion that much angrier.

Struggling to like this game. Too few vehicles, infantry parachutes apparently non-existent. Vehicle spawning system is stupid. Being able to repair your tank from *inside* is beyond stupid.

No more stealing the enemy's armor and taking a point. No more charging a tank, drilling it until the driver bails, then stealing it and driving off into the sunset. No more sneaking into heavily defended enemy flags to steal the armor that spawns there, and frantic escape once you get it. No more Jihads, which have practically defined the crazy poo poo you can do in Battlefield since 1942. Hell, no more minimap so you can plan where you're going next.

And it's just so boring. In earlier Battlefields there were always 2-3 "only in battlefield" moments a night any time I played. I'm struggling to think of one moment over the last few days of gameplay.

I dunno man, I've been playing for a grand total of like 3 hours and I've already stolen a tank, ramraided an objective with it, blown up an entire castle from across the map with a turret to get the sniper inside, rode an armoured death train mowing fools down, jumped out to grab a flamethrower kit, and torched my way to an objective... It's pretty loving awesome.

Cycles the distance that your rifle's sights are dialed in at. So if you cycle it to, say, 350 meters, you wouldn't have to aim above the enemy's head at that distance to land your shot. It's mostly not very useful unless you are hanging waaaaaay back with a sniper rifle, since 90% of the time you are going to be within the default range of the weapon's zero distance or at most will have to aim just a touch above them. I don't think there's any visual effect when you cycle it though. Also you have to be able to eyeball distance for it to matter anyway, unless the sniper rifle scopes have a range indicator - I've only used one once and then switched to the carbines for Scout, so I can't remember.

Also I sent a request for the Battlegoons group, hope I can join you all in raining down hell on pubbie heads. So far I'm having a blast with Support, once I unlocked the Benet-Mercie Storm everything just clicked and I usually go pretty close to 2:1 with it every game now. The small mag sucks once in a while, but a lot less often than you'd think, because the control and damage are so much better and you don't need to spray for days.

Pretty sure jeeps spawn on the map itself instead of using the system that tanks and stuff do. Or at least I've seen a lot of empty jeeps / motorcycles sitting around in spawn areas. And unless they changed it from the Beta, you can toss dynamite in the back of it and Jihad with that. Can't remember if you need to jump out and detonate it manually or if the impact is enough, though.

I do kinda wish the vehicle spawn system was different, though I guess either way it's basically "the fastest person gets it". Maybe putting an individual timer on it per player so that after you've bailed out / been destroyed, you can't spawn in the same vehicle for X amount of time or something? It is pretty annoying when the same person is always in the tank for the entire match, especially if they suck or if they sit way back and uselessly lob shells at random points for the whole game instead of pushing forward and supporting the infantry.

The bayonet charge is so amazing, even though sometimes its easy to overcorrect your course and accidentally run past your target if they take a corner too tight or something. Had some poor guy do that in my last game, just heard some screaming right behind me and then he ran past, missing me by like half a foot, and I blew out the back of his skull with my Model 10 and then died from a sniper because I was laughing.
