Does that make it impossible for snipers to get up to that spot? Now I know what I'm doing every time on that map.

I think I am done cutting up war films Edward. Happenings of rank, utter madness fall upon me each night in torrents. I have come down with fever dreams, and trenchwrist. Between each dream I am awakened into a recurring nightmare where I am paralysed, unable to move, save for the flitting of my eye between a carousel of demented pygmyies, a report on my squad's performance, a troubling report on my personal performance, and a ghastly roster of the dead. It is loving horrible

I've been playing mostly rush (though they need to up the player count a bit) and a little bit of conquest because operations needs some balance tweaking.

I try not to, but sometimes I can't resist just going prone after spawning on a sniper squadmate that won't evict his favorite super 1337 spot and just dumping a few long bursts of mg fire into a clump of enemies off in the distance, maybe lighting up a tank that's sort of looking in the sniper's direction, dropping an ammo case and running away.
Sometimes it's hilarious the amount of hatred you can draw towards the spot if you're annoying with a salvo of mortars plopped randomly in a flag being capped that's full of enemies.

My hatred for snipers knows no bounds and I turn into a seventh grader when thinking of ways to mess with the ones that don't contribute.

I think its absolutely amazing that I've lost several games of Iron Walls on defense because pubbies in my squad are too stupid to figure out why I keep marking the B bunkers as the squad objective, throwing incendiary grenades at the entrances, and requesting ammo.

Literally all you need to do is lose the church, lose the next wave, and go to B to spam incendiary grenades, health packs, and ammo packs.

One squad of three medics and two support can easily wipe out all the offense's battalions, never have to deal with tanks or the behemoth, and basically exploit Operations for maximum war bucks for everyone, but at least 2/5ths of every squad is sniping from behind the spawn point, and the rest just get wrecked.

If all 32 players had a bunker party, it'd be super cool and fun, but whatever.

Edit: never mind. I figured out where to hide and win the entire operation from a corner.

I'll post a video because it makes Operation Locker look like The Thin Red Line.

Maybe it's because bunker party is neither cool nor fun for either side.

There are not.

Also, the campaign codexes are glitching for me. On the campaign screen it shows that I've got 100% of everything, and I should have 6 weapon skins in MP, but in the codex page some of them are marked as unfound. So, no skins for me. But I guess that'all get picked up quickly in a patch, they already fixed the rank trophies not popping.

Yes. I created a very popular feature around that data during BC2/BF3, ranking goons by how many unique goons they had tactically hugged. CJ "Hey, buddy!" Seedge was the undisputed king of that leaderboard. Then in BF4 it was really incomplete and unreliable. Dominik "1ApRiL" Herbst's P-Stats Network have not yet launched their bf1stats.com site, but I'll have a close eye on their API page. No promises, but I still have all the code to battlefieldgoons.com in an AWS AMI.

Good list imo. But if you remove internal repair then I think you need to bring back gradual regen over time.

Sure, absolutely not, yes, dunno what that is, no because then no one would play assault, eh I think it's okay since they're made out of pinewood and canvas in the first place, and wholeheartedly yes.

AA isn't too bad it just requires you don't fly in a straight line which most pub pilots tend to do. The initial shock of AA is the worst but you just have to evasive manuveur and get as far away as possible as quick as possible.

I always fly the assault plane because it's the best. Once safely away I get as high as possible and then fly over the AA for a dive bomb attack with the small timed bombs.

Speaking of, the assault plane is dope as hell. I've been racking up kills precision bombing infantry and it's maneuverable and powerful enough to take on any of the other planes as well. I can usually last an entire match in 1 assault plane, it's the best way to take out enemy wookies who think they are safe on top of some mountain in their base.

Most of those make sense, the remove repair idea is a bad one though, considering how vulnerable vehicles are in this one, not to mention how rare they are(I'm thinking they should change the spawn rate to be instead of just 1-3 in a category, it should be 1-2 for each variety, so 2 light tanks, 2 heavy tanks, 2 artillery trucks, and 2 landships for example on the bigger maps, especially in Operations)

Also the special classes should just become normal classes, maybe with a slight nerf in exchange, cause I've only gotten the flamethrower kit like 4 times, sentry kit like twice, and have yet to get the tank hunter kit, or at least make it work more like how the special classes in Star Wars Battlefront 2 back in the day worked, where they were locked for each person till you got a set amount of kills and then they become free to use, current system has them as too rare to really have a noticeable effect on how a battle goes

Special classes should work like modern Battlefront were you can select the class you want. It's so rare to stumble upon a special class that is appropriate for the situation as it is right now.

I kind of like internal repair, it forces tanklords to leave the 'hot' areas to repair, but on the other hand it's way harder to steal a tank. They need to make the limpet do way more damage, and buff the repair tool for destroying enemy vehicles. Basically make support way more dangerous.

Scout medal is some funny stuff. My own experience was this...

BEGIN WEEK. 7 DAYS ON CLOCK
1) Complete two trivial bullshit tasks, takes like 20 minutes each.
2) Need to kill 3 vehicles with K bullets. Basically become a vulture and prey on any flaming/disabled vehicle in sight. Took like 6 days. May the God of Chance watch over you.
3) Need 10 headshots with Scout rifle. Happened twice by chance, the other eight were deliberate headshots of people I found prone and unaware of me. Took most of the final day.
4) Get 5 kills in a life as Scout. Took about 40 seconds, happened in the same life as completion of the previous task :grin:
MEDAL COMPLETE: 30 MINUTES LEFT ON CLOCK
