Just don't throw grenades or go prone or melee attack and you'll be fine!

I don't get the love for the mp18 trench gun. So much recoil, it's always bouncing all over the place for me. What am I doing wrong goons?

Try taking the bayonet off. I haven't tried it but according to the official site, equipping a bayonet has all sorts of detrimental effects to things like recoil, draw speed, etc.

Yeah I'm finding that with the bigger player count it's almost impossible to effect any sort of progress without at least two decent pubbies in a squad with me working together.

I'm bc2 you could Rambo a room enclosed mcom pretty well considering there'd be maybe 3 or 4 guys from the other team at any given time. Now when I slip past the front line to circle around behind the deepest flag, there's inevitably 8 fuckin dudes on my rear end as soon as it starts capping. (and not in the way I'd prefer 8 dudes in my rear end right Dantes haw haw)

Okay last gripe post but does anyone else have issues with the auto aim? I will sight down on someone and it'll throw the sights just over the guys head. Mostly using the autoloading 8.25 extended but it causes me to lose a lot of first shots. If they are prone I don't have this issue.

Got my first hate mail and hacking accusation in Battlefield 1!



I guess using the tank to suppress the telegraph so the enemy team can't disarm it is camping. Bonus points, after sending that last message we made it to the last set of telegraphs, where the defenders finally get a tank. He grabbed it and rushed me, but I back away and lured him into my anti tank mines. RIP.

Equipping a bayonet to your primary weapon also negatively affects the recoil of your weapon, and how quickly you can raise your weapon to a fire-ready position after a sprint. Picking a bayonet also means that you will indirectly forego other add-ons that you could have equipped instead.

So I wonder if they're going to add other barrel attachments eventually? I can't think of anything they bayonet stops you from taking now.

Would unironically use all of these.

edit: especially if you could beat wookies to death with the rubber dick-barrel in kolibiri-esque damage increments.

You can definitely kill mans with a spotting flare. Works like an incendiary grenade.

So kind of an exploit that you can camp the poo poo out of the boat spawn on suez with your own boat and just rack up thousands of points... I worked through a full game of just killin boats and random players who would spawn to go after the dreadnought in them.

I added myself to the bone krew. I have mostly been playing scout but I don't stand on the edge of the map like a dipshit.

Everyone seems to recommend the Mars pistol for scout but honestly the frommer stop owns so hard. It's about 6 kills shy of my most used weapon

I noticed that. I spawned in someone's boat out there and spent a while just blasting empty boats plus the odd person who spawned in one. Pretty boring but I guess it will level you up? Now whenever I see a boat out on the right side of the overhead map I assume that's what they're doing.

People have been using this boat trick to max their level and class ranks within just a few rounds. Looks like it's pretty well known by now so lots of people are on the look out to stop it with planes or gun emplacements

Oh god this pistol medal is going to be horrible, even worse than the melee medal. I don't even think you get enough ammo to get 5 pistol kills in a single life without a resupply or two.

Holy poo poo. So does your character's voice start cracking after you've marked several enemies consecutively? Playing as an Italian, my guy started coughing and yelling in raspy voice after a while. Am I just imagining this effect?

Cant snipe for poo poo, but being a scout Squad Commander armed with flares, the periscope, and a squad of pubbies who only BARELY followed orders, made Oil Of Empires so much easier.

The periscope was made for Operations and works great for racking up points but how the hell do you zoom in and out with it on Xbone?

I still have the medals from last week with progress saved. Does everyone get the same five each week or is it random?

My overall K/D has stayed exactly at 2 for at least a dozen matches. EXACTLY two kills for each death, no matter how good or bad I do. The total numbers of kills and deaths listed go up but always at the same proportion.
