You're not getting me to play a battlefield single player. They could mail you a free $20 debit card upon completion and I'd still pass.

This one is good. Legit good. Great even. And I say this as someone who gave up on three other BF campaigns. Possibly on my top ten single-player shootmans campaigns list.

Play them, they are good. And I recommend playing them on Hard so there's a bit of challenge there. The ending to the pilot episode had me almost applauding, so loving good. The Gallipoli story is a bit poor, but it's then followed by one which is basically a MGSV mission on the Sinai map and stealthing it up was tense as gently caress.

Ninja edit: since getting the plat, I have replayed a couple of these war stories just for fun, they were that good. Played the pilot episode with HUD off and that was a fun immersive thing too.

Apparently if you melee a prone enemy as a Sentry you just straight-up stomp on their chest :haw:

Also, protip! Melees against prone enemies are auto-takedowns regardless of the enemy's health or direction. gently caress that drop-shotter up!

Like, the SP experience of BF1 is neat because WWI is a hugely under-used setting in games. So it's cool to play a little campaign in that setting. But from what I played, it's nothing special gameplay-wise.

They just have to be occupied by an enemy in the last minute.

So yeah if they get on an AA, but they die to another sniper, if you casn kill that AA in the next 45 seconds or so, it still counts as a vehicle destroyed.


Also, god drat we destroy in a squad. Shotout to mellow, backup, some guy who's name has something about poop in it?

We dominate, and it's so amazing how much points we get with an effective squad leader (ie, me)

Yeah gently caress this medal forever. That AA better be at 25 health before you start shooting it. Horses? Sure, as long as you've done 60-70 damage to it already, and don't get your head cut off switching rounds. Could use a pistol, but oops when you switch back to rifle it isn't on k bullets anymore. Tanks? Maybe with a team of assault guys that you can tell "ok hold fire guys, imma finish it off with my pea shooter".
Between that and constantly getting one-shotted by Russian sniper rifles from, for example, the ramparts on ballroom while I'm at A, or from the fortress on FAO while I'm at C, I'm having zero fun playing conquest solo right now. Think I might play some no man's sky and mine some boring minerals to calm down.

Yeah backup and I dominated the first and second place for the three games we played after you left. It's not like we have amazing k/d or anything, we really just ptfo and a third of our points must have come from me just spamming orders.

And remember even though you have poop in your name, you're not actually poop.

You can hunt down support motars and take them out with K bullets - still counts as a vehicle destroy for :dice: reasons. Also transports take significantly more damage from k bullets as well.

Assault: Model 10A hunter until you unlock the Hellriegel.

Support - secondary: Modello 1915. Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, fast reload. Very accurate.

Scout - secondary: Frommer Stop. See above.

On another note, I was just trying out some things on an empty server. I think part of my problem with K bullets is I started using the experimental and it takes so long to switch breaches. So I timed it; 4 seconds on the experimental, less than 3 on the LofE SMLE III. Every second counts! Oh and it's no wonder I get plinked by so many Russian Sniper rifles, have you tried that thing? It's loving broken. On St.Quentin using the 10x scope, you can easily hit with repeated, pinpoint accuracy, the windmill window at A from the road at the British spawn. With the bipod, there's no need to steady the scope, just let it settle after each shot right back to where you fired from and make the second shot identically each time. gently caress that gun.

Finger Prince you're using k bullets on the experimental the loving wrong way.

Switch to secondary. Switch to K bullets. Takes one entire second.


For loving serious the experimental has the fastest K bullet because it appears to be glitched that if you switch to K bullets from your other gadget or pistol, you don't reload or rebuild the gun. It's instantly ready. You can just press secondary then k bullet switch and you have it ready. loving faster than any other sniper rifle.

Experimental owns. Any scout who never uses it is a trash scout.

How does the game decide whether K bullets / rocket gun rockets will actually gently caress something up or not? Are tanks actually modeled out that precisely with regards to where armor is weak? I feel like I'm always popping poo poo for 5 damage or 12 damage or whatever with any long-distance explosive. Which I guess could also be the point, but come on. Rocket gun!

I just tested it. It's instant and faster than any other sniper rifle. You can literally press triangle for pistol then hit dpad for K bullet. It's ready instantly.
