How do you account for bullet drop/travel time? Having a hard time adjusting from hitscan games, and my current strategy of just quick scoping from mid range all the time doesn't seem like how you're supposed to play scout.

It takes some getting used to, remember you can zero the crosshair at longer distances too. Travel time is a little difficult as most people know that standing still = death and will wiggle around.

Didn't see it posted anywhere but is there a fix for your loadouts constantly resetting? I just unlocked a bunch of guns with warbonds and tried to edit them in but the loadouts keep resetting between matches. Really annoying....

Also my psn is EllipticalD if there is someone throwing invites around to a goon group.

Yeah it's a pain. I assume it's something you can manage or control from the app, but I haven't downloaded it. Also, are there multiple loadouts for each class? I was trying to edit my medic class on a game of carrier pigeon and it kept swapping between like 4 copies of the base layout when I was trying to change the gun or something. It was hosed up.

All of them are broken, apparently. Dunno what's gonna happen after I hit rank 10 and can't rank up again. Hopefully when they fix it people get retroactive credit or something.

Also man this medal system already sucked a bag of dicks but now it's randomly not tracking and also changing all the medals back to last week's set periodically. :argh:

Thankfully I have the tears of all the snipers I'm roadkilling with a horse to sustain me. That and using the rocket gun to blow windmills apart and get a bunch of debris kills on the people hiding inside are probably my favorite things to do.

I heard people raving about how much better the single player is this time and I can't say I understand that? The tutorial level was fairly neat, pretty well done. The first actual mission where you're driving a tank around a big open warzone, busting through rubble and blowing up enemies and capturing points, was pretty great. I felt like maybe DICE had embraced the things that made the BF series interesting and decided to finally bring that back into its single player instead of just having an uninspired linear cinematic campaign like BC2/BF3/BF4 (I was also even more disappointed about there being no SP in Battlefront- I would have loved a level like this one where you're stomping around a semi-open battle in an AT-AT or something)

Then the second level is this really, really bad Far Cry style stealth segment in a forest where the foliage and fog doesn't actually hide you at all, but you can't be seen, because even if you survive against all the enemies coming out of random directions the people you're escorting (!!) will get killed. It's a stealth escort mission. I'm about halfway through I think but I can't really force myself to play any more at the moment.

It went right from one of the better single player experiences in the entire series to one of my least favorite gaming experiences all year. I miss when BF campaigns were just bot matches with unique loading screens.

The tank guiding section is fantastic, and I don't know why you are finding it hard. The sentries have vision cones to the front, you can lure people by tossing a shell casing to separate them for a stealth kill, you can mark the sentries so they show up through walls ("random directions" LOL) and Black Bess only takes damage from the field guns. You literally only need to make sure you destroy the field guns, or murder the dudes firing them, and you can gunfight everyone else. Dynomite the guns, or get on the first one you see and use it to blow up all the others then defend that position. Loads of ways to go about it.

There's a codex entry for getting through the entire section without being detected, which means clearing 3 outposts stealth killing everybody. Optional hard challenge for trophies and a MP unlock. It was one of the best and most tense things I've done in a shooter for ages, this campaign channels MGSV at times.

But again, you don't need to stealth it. Just pick up the best guns you find and YOLO it, but staying close to the field guns so the tank doesn't get crushed.

I think you have to make the party through the group in order to have it show up in the group parties tab. Alternatively, you can just friend everyone you see in the group and then join them that way.

It's there now. Apparently creating the party from the community page doesn't automatically invite members. You have to invite the community from the party itself. I'll probably be on for another 2 hours.

So the Expermental 1918 i think it's called for the Recon is great if you're looking for a non sniper style gun to use when you're running around spotting. It's like a medic gun with the fire cap on it unlocked and tons and tons of ammo!

No idea, as I don't think I had that bug.

Well I just found my new forward scout gun: the Gewehr 95 infantry. Bolt action ironsights gun that packs a real punch. Thought I'd wasted warbonds on it at first, wasn't clicking on Empire's Edge (but then I got to fire the main Dreadnaught gun, which is a super mega mortar), but on Argonne I suddenly went 35-8 with it, and I am terrible at shootmans. This and the spotting flare so I can get up close and play attack scout is my new jam.

Also went 19-8 on Sinai, but actually literally ran out of ammo at one point because support class people are terrible.

I signed on to play some this morning and there was a 768mb patch. Let it patch, signed in, and 3 achievements for class rank immediately popped.

My loadout still keeps resetting, though.
