i absolutely cannot get enough of this game, i love it

i normally am not one to chase achievements but i'm really enjoying going for the weekly medals, it's forced me to vary my playstyle and realize how much fun some things are like horsey kills, it's made me finally good at sniping in a battlefield game which i could never do before, and it's forced me to give up my love for the classic 1911 for other, more effective sidearms

i am having a hard time with a couple of these though and i'm running out of time, i can't seem to get the 20 kills in team deathmatch or the Z bullet vehicle kills

i keep getting 15, 16, 17 kills but i just can't break 20. i'm switching between using a shotgun, LMG, and russian sniper with iron sights + spot flare


any suggestions on how to get 20 kills in team deathmatch or how to get those drat vehicle kills?

If you end up on Amien the SMG sentry kit spawns in a house in the alley in front of where Apples is in conquest. Or just an SMG in general. Shotguns still seem a little inconsistent to me. BAR if you want to play support. 8.5 extended for medic.

Don't be the guy who snipes in TDM.

Nice work. I figured out how to build up to three variants of a class too (yeah I'm dumb), so a mortar and a limpet build for easy swapping when I die is easy to do.

I tried, but you can't stick dynamite to any vehicles, even in the sidecar of the bike, or place a mine on one (that one makes sense. Don't know if you can set a limpet while sitting in the sidecar for some suicide bombing action (rider abandons you to your fate to survives and tell your story).

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



These medals make me feel bad for my team sometimes, like when I could have easily shot a guy capturing our flag completely unawares but instead I tried to sprint over and blanket him in dynamite and got shot instead. Thank god I don't care about K:D ratio or anything because some of these tasks have me playing like a drat moron.

Mostly it's fun though, except for the 5 kills in a life stuff. Those usually end up being kind of fun / super tense when I actually *get* them, but not enough to make up for the uncountable, extremely frustrating 3 or 4 kill streaks beforehand.

play the campaign flying story, it's really fun and it helps you learn a lot except in the campaign you can turn while you repair which you can't in multiplayer

well as far as TDM goes, that part of the medal can be done in other game modes (at least on PC) so just do Conquest

if you want to do it "legitimately" because of self-hatred or whatever, I've generally gotten best TDM results (i.e. over 20 kills/round) by just abusing the Hunter 10-A on maps like Monte Grappa where you can sit in/clear bunkers and just brutally own people at close quarters- the shotgun, 2 gas grenades and 2 anti-tank grenades gives you a lot of murdering potential and you can run around with your mask on at all times (the gas grenades do a surprising amount of the work)

it still depends a lot on server population and composition though, I spent like an entire evening getting 17-19 kills per round on that part of the Medal before someone told me about the game mode thing

Wait, what? I didn't change anything for planes, but I use the veteran setup for tanks and it definitely took effect in the campaign.

When this game clicks it is amazing but when it's not clicking and your team is getting curb stomped the instant deaths immediately after spawning can get tiring. Definitely seems like average lifespan is half of what it was in BF3/4 but I think it's more of a function of the larger player base and more open maps.

I really hope they tweak spawning in the next update. Playing Ballroom and attempting to spawn at E invariably spits me out just outside the HQ. Hell even random spawns like you get in TDM would be an improvement. I've noticed some spawn camping going on as well, which never seemed to be a thing in BF4.

So it turns out that my autoaim was on, not off, and I just do really suck. Got 4 kills on Fao Fortress though. Maybe I need to stop playing medic and just start sniping.

I did terrible with the starter medic gun, it seemed decently powered and I don't know if it was the sights or recoil or what but I couldn't outshoot anyone. Maybe try buying an upgrade?

Or just go assault and always hipfire with the shotguns and SMGs.

I'd love to see a "killed by (weapon)" stat so you could check what weapon the cheesy bastards that keep killing you use most. I'm willing to bet for me it would be Russian Sniper 1895 followed by the Mondragon.

I seem to die mostly to assaults. Always the MP18 Optical and M10-A Hunter chewing me up. It's a mixed bag at other ranges, but despite the "not enough people play assault" talk I swear they are my nemesis in matches.

People have already identified the optimum gun per for each class and everyone has started to gravitate toward them. You'd think with less guns they'd have balanced them better but eh

Oh yeah I go through gluts of dying to MP18 trenches. One burst from them is usually enough to kill you.

my biggest gripe lately has been trying to figure out how to melee better. 9 times out a 10, I get maybe one hit in whether its a knife, club, or shovel, only to get the insta-kill animation on my own guy.

I saw a factoid come up on the loading screen that said something like "hatchet will gently caress poo poo up but has a small takedown radius" or something. Based on that and poking people with knives without killing them, it looks like melee weapons are pretty variable. So if the guy you're poking at has a shovel or something with a bigger takedown radius (i have no idea what these radii are or how they vary) than your knife, he probably gets the takedown while you're still poking.

the only useful thing out of those stupid main menu videos is this instakill zone diagram


knife > club > shovel

It's a little confusing cause the instakill animation also happens whenever a melee hit would do more damage than remaining health

So from the front/side a fully healthed dude would take 3 knife stabs (35 dmg each) and on the 3rd one you go into the animation


the system is honestly amazing and being able to sprint directly at someone, guitar slide and turn and plant a shiv in their back is probably the coolest thing of all time
