Yes, if your goal is just to be faster than other people, a SSHD will give you a good enough boost. There's a 2TB available in the slim form factor for ps4s for only like $120 or so.

Do not go down the SSD route unless you love and are insane about your PS4.

Is it just me or is the Model No. 3 revolver kind of garbage? I can understand they don't want to make a quick-reloading revolver have the stopping power of, say, the Gasser but it doesn't compensate by having the fire rate of the Auto Revolver the medics get so you're stuck with something that shoots as slow as the powerful revolvers but doesn't hit as hard as them and something that reloads quickly as the Auto Revolver but has a worse fire rate.

Kind of disappointing since that is a pretty rad revolver. Or maybe I'm just bad at using it.

That's what having a real squad leader issuing effective commands (ie me) does wonders for your score.

Basically, as long as you play in a good squad, we help each other be a little bit better, as well as we get free squad points all the loving time, especially from orders. Nobody else is getting good squad points, that alone makes your score so much higher than other people.

I'll add you to my friends list. This game isn't as competitive as others, so who gives a gently caress if you don't have a mic. If you're not a dumb pubbie and can contribute to the squad, you'll go places. I played last night with three other goons with no headset/mic because I was tired, and they'll tell you I squad leader'd the gently caress out of that team to the top of the leaderboard.

I don't have a headset setup right now. With games like Bloodborne, I cam turn my speaker volume down pretty low and my game audio wont come over the mic, but with battlefield, I need to hear. I don't want to be that guy broadcasting his surround-sound over the voice chat.

So technically, I do have a mic. I don't have a mic I can use at the same time as headphones.

Going from Support and Assault to Medic is bad. Having semi-auto weaponry that you actually have to aim is throwing me off! But boy oh boy, so many points from heals and revives.

How is the rank 10 Medic gun anyway?

Looks great and has some sick looking skins but it's pretty terrible only 5 shots till reload and has a long reload time with low damage

I initially didn't like the hellreigel but I just had an op on St Quentin scar and went 88 and 28 before we finally lost. Got them down to their last battalion but they pushed through to amiens and rolled us there. It's almost unfair how well the hellreigel does in mid range engagements

Getting into the the flow of aggressive scout is pretty fun. Infantry SMLE and then pretty much everything else fire - shoot people with flares, incindenary grenades, and incendiary traps at choke points. Everything burns!!

Yeah I don't have any info on my screen telling me like when I switch firing modes or zeroing ranges or anything. I can only tell if I'm on single shot by trying to shoot. That's really dumb.

Out to 10 meters that should be the case. Was it beyond that? If so, was it a headshot?

Relatedly, I do like the ability to change the hitmarker color to indicate headshots. Fun feedback.

Oh you can do that? Will have to check that out. When I was using slugs pre-patch, they'd do 93 damage point blank to the chest, and the slow fire rate meant that you'd never get a second shot if they were shooting back.

Oh man you can't carry bith tyoes of mortars any more.

Airburst mortars are so worthless. They don't seem to do more than 50 damage maximum.

Like I can't get a kill against a stationary target with 5 mortars.

Got the game for ps4 today.

I like it but I absolutely love the fact that it has gotten stuck in an infinite loading loop on 3 separate occasions (twice leaving a session after a round and once opening a battlepack) and required a restart of the game each time.

Great QA right there.

Yeah. It's just playing with pubbies is such a tossup. You get a lot of snipers (or medics who are sniping) hanging out between points, and then you are forced to spawn on them and you're just constantly getting spawnkilled.

I get spawnkilled so much. It's insane. I can't believe I ever have a positive K/D (I usually don't) when it seems like 2/3 of the time I spawn in under fire and die before I can take 2 steps.

Yeah the game doesn't really let you Quit by pressing the triangle button it just consigns you to a purgatorial loading screen for :dice: reasons.

I'm pretty sure people have bitched about it enough that they'll patch it soon.

People bitched that you couldn't quit out after a match unless you did it within the first 15 seconds or something, so they patched it so you could, and now when you do, it sticks you in a blank loading screen that lasts longer than if you'd have just let the next round load and quit after it starts. :dice:

One time I was stuck on that loading screen so long that the next match finished. I know this because I got a trophy for winning it and I could hear then end round experience ticking up while I was still on the loading screen.

Yeah, the not being able to quit thing annoys me too. I usually play some quick rounds and then my girlfriend wants to watch tv or whatever, and I go: ok, I'll quit.
