If you are a level 10 scout and don't constantly use the Martini Henry rifle with the Kolibri secondary then you aren't achieving maximum Battlefield.

Macys paid for this. Noodle Boy and Bonby are bad at video games and even worse friends.


What's everyone's thoughts on medical pouch versus medical crate? I'm a big proponent of the pouches for the afford mobility and sheer healing speed but all of my RL friends are DIEHARD crate fans. I just don't see it -- but I'm welcome to be proven wrong. Whatever works best

There aren't this many incompetent players on a US server in an entire evening of games. Or if there are, they are definitely on my team / in my squad.

HOW did that first pack of dudes not turn around? ever?

I was unaware that the pouch heals faster, which could change my mind. But I mean functionally if crate heals multiple people and reserves my use of Buttons for Other Purposes then the crate is way better. Not that I dissect my play in this way in reality, but I cannot be firing bullets for the ~1.5 second throw-a-pouch animation and even though I am straight up terrible at shooting, limiting my ability to spray n pray makes me anxious!

just... put out another crate if you need to get different people health?

For me, it depends on which map I'm on. For smaller maps I'll just place a crate where I know people will congregate, for larger maps I use pouches

Is fun because if you have played Planetside 2 you see this has normal. People can really only focus on one direction, maybe two. In a place with 3 entrances, one of it is not guarded if the other two have attackers.

Is weird that this theory almost never work in BF1, I guest when people spawn need some time to adjust and are these people that kill you if you try to attack people from behind.

Do medals reset your progress at the end of the week? Like, if I'm in the middle of the assault/smg medal, and just need to do the 5 kills in a life, but I don't get it before the reset, will it save my progress for next time it comes around, or will it be reset?

Sorry I had to leave suddenly, some people came to look at the house (we're trying to sell). I asked one of their kids to move my controller every so often to keep from getting kicked. I'm going to laugh very hard if that somehow makes it into the buyer's feedback.

I just completed the legion of the skull medal. Is it just me or is the general level of people that play TDM much lower than conquest and rush? I was consistently in the top 3 with k/d at least 2 for 6 rounds.

^ I think it's just wider variation because electing to play TDM will kinda self sort people into "dedicated TDM players" and "people on other game mode walkabout"

I play it when I just want to run around and shoot mans for a couple of 10 minute matches instead of a 30 minute slog through conquest. I've noticed the same thing, I can consistently top the team in TDM. There's the skill level I guess, but the lack of vehicles and snipers, which accounts for like 90% of my deaths in conquest, probably has something to do with it. Conquest leaderboards tend to be dominated by tank and sky lords who go 50-1.

That's why I play Domination and War Pigeons most of the time. Smaller maps, infantry based, a little more fast-paced than a Conquest/Operations/Rush slog.

I foolishly continue to refuse to use the 10-A except for Slug because I hate myself

I don't care how many lives it takes, how many mines, grenades, and rocket shots, I will blow up your tank. It's the principle of it. Nobody goes xx-0 in a vehicle while I'm playing. It's both my calling and my sickness. Unless you're on my team, in which case "that's one hell of a pilot!!"

I'm such a filthy hypocrite. Since this game came out I've been gritting my teeth and cussing every time I get killed by the Martini-Henry.

Now that I finally unlocked it I cna't get enough of it. It doesn't hurt that I keep mumbling to myself, "Fire by rank!" when I load it up. Zulu is one of my father's favorite movies.

I've decided to play support recently to get to rank 10 and it's probably my best class. Only gun I've clicked with is the benet mercie storm which is have 600+ kills with. My SPM is by far the highest with support. 650 vs my next highest which is assault at 560. For a class everyone seems to poo poo on I'm doing quite well with it.

I also recently have found the joy of artillery trucks. A dumb person on the other team left a full health arty truck sitting there so I took it and kept it the rest of the game. It's hilariously fun to poo poo on people with. This is coming from someone who never fucks with vehicles

The mercie storm is really good, pretty accurate, and if handled properly, it can get up to 3 kills a clip.

I play support a lot, and I basically never get to lay down and use my weapon as god intended. I pretty much always get sniped if I stop moving.

Benet Mercie is my fave, with the BAR replacing it when I need something more assault-rifle-y.

Playing BF with my Destiny friends was shocking for me. Hear them bitching about tanks and stuff. But them in Destiny it took 2 years for people stopping to take A in Shores of Time. What this tell me is people is greedy and blind by default, teamwork is something that people need to learn and is not like a big door that is obligatory to use, but a side hidden door in the side that not everyone know it exist.

I don't care. BF1 is a game that is fun even when you lose, if you don't let yourself get into a frustrating loop.

whenever you put down a crate the old one disappears.

Honestly the half second it takes to throw the pouch is a great way to get in the habit of using cover without getting pinned to it. you should try it.
