I hope the next BF game is a proper Command & Conquer total conversion, with Mammoth Tanks, Flame Tanks, Light Barrage Missile launchers. A special class Tanya.

It would fit so well with this iteration of the BF engine... imagine a mamoth tank crushin the buildings in a town infected with tiberium, while flame troops clean the infantry inside, then a tanya appears and kills the tank with explosives and kill the flame dudes with akimbo pistols.

Is there a website that simply lists which classes have which weapons, maybe with some pictures and possibly stats? Because there's about a thousand youtube "Hot tips on how to play (class)" and "pre-alpha weapon spoilers" just utter garbage useless waste of space websites that don't do that but dominate the first 100 pages of any vaguely related google search.

I wish recording clips wasn't such a hassle with BF1. If I use kinect to record it takes forever and slows my game down for like 10 seconds.

If I try to double tap the guide button, then hit X to record, it slows my system and then takes me to the laggy "pause" screen.

Makes it real hard to capture dope dive bombing footage.

The Selbstadler doesn't recover quite as fast from recoil as it lets you shoot, you kind of need to get a feel for the gun's rhythm (and when you can ammo dump). Once you get that down it's a total beast.

It's also probably not as good if you really prefer iron sights, since the Selbstadler has a factory version where the Mondragon gets a storm variant. But the Marksman variant unlocks at like Rank 2 and has a crazy good scope so it doesn't really matter- just set zoom to 2.5x and the reticle to something you like and you've got an amazing all-rounder weapon.

Ugh, the main thread told me the BAR was a good gun. Maybe I bought the wrong one. But the BAR trench is hot garbage. Really intrusive ironsights, a mass of bullet spread, and with only 20 bullets good luck killing both those dudes you are shooting at (and missing). I will try the telescopic, one day, but for now I feel like I wasted 200 warbonds. Back to the Benet Mercie which outclasses it at every range and in every situation.

I was much happier with the automatic 8.25 extended I bought for my medic. That's a solid gun. 20 shots, fast reload, and a lovely tinny sound to the bolt. This is a gun I can get behind.

The BAR is a lot more user friendly with the AA sights but it still feels like an Assault weapon that got misfiled.

That's your problem. The BAR Trench is the perfect lmg for running in with a mask on and hip firing fucks in a sea of gas.

All the bar variants are good you just gotta get a feel for them. The trench can be a beast in close to medium range though.

I think you have to go into the phone/web app and select your emblem again for BF1. But the list in the app should have all of the emblems you used for BF4.

Yeah, anything that you had previously in Battlelog should have been available to use. Some of the shapes in the new editor are slightly different so I have 1 or 2 that don't show up in the companion app. The codes in the spreadsheet are from the old one so they only work in Battlelog.

E: There's an easy workaround if an emblem doesn't show up in the new app. Equip it through Battlelog and it should carry over.

Had an understrength team on Empires Edge, we were getting our poo poo kicked in big time. The dreadnaught was sent in early, and I jumped on hoping to get a chance to fire the big guns. Sadly the only spot left were the AA guns, so I sat in the landward side gun sulking because last time I was in that seat I got to shoot down maybe one plane. Well, not this time. I singlehandedly kept that boat afloat. Killed 6 bombers, and 5 torpedo boats, and even got to pick off a couple of infantry on the shore for good measure. :black101:

The spawns are hilariously bad, I mean :dice: wowed me with some of the shittiest BF4 spawns imaginable but these? Pure bliss.

Spawn in the middle of four enemies, going down an alley. I did get a kill on one of the ones ahead of me before the ones behind me got me, so there was that.

Spawn on fire.

Spawn in front of tank.

Spawn on fire, again.

I can understand spawning into bad poo poo (like gas, wheeeee!) if you spawn on a squad mate but some these were attempts to spawn on capture points. The claim is you are spawned further away depending on the number of enemies nearby/on a capture point but what's the excuse for being dropped into the middle of them anyway?

I long for servers that have only one or three maps instead of having to go through so many I don't enjoy, to get to the ones I do.
