I hope they don't drop the level of quality with the new stuff.

The release maps where very good, brilliant. Giant Shadow or whatever is ... normal, not brilliant.

Doesn't seem that hard, it has probably the most killing potential if lined up right. Those cannons can instant kill a tank if lined up right.

How does the game decide who gets to drive the dreadnought/train/behemoth? I've occasionally been able to spawn into one, but I have no idea how you get to drive it. Is it a matter of dying when you hear there's one enroute and hanging around in the spawn screen and being the first to click it when it appears as an option?

Yup. Just gotta be quicker than the younger kids who are probably hyped up on sugar and makes a mad dash to the icon on the spawn screen.

Dreadnought stars should count negative because it means your team sucks often enough for you to get them. Play the objectives bitches!

Yeah, but like the guy above me pointed out, you have to lose a ton of games to get in the dreadnought in the first place. That's wat made me :stare:

I've never understood how people can just fixate on one singular aspect of the BF games.

If you are that into battleships then play Steel Wake or whatever it's called.

If all you want to do is snipe then play Sniper Elite.

I guess it's just autism.

I just worked out that the grenade launcher is on a timer for resupply, just like the mortar. So if you're going to run one, might as well run both because ammo packs won't help you with either.

People warping through my bayonet charges and shooting me in the back makes me want to smash things.

Also, I'm the medic running around with my syringe out and achieving a total of 3 revives all loving round because people just mash A. My squadmates would run up and get healing kits from me when wounded but if they died I couldn't make it across a 10 foot room before they respawned.

2 of my revives came from a tank blowing up in front of me and two corpses literally rolling to my feet so I could stick them before they could hold A.

Sweet baby christo.

lol so what I do is I make a "reputation" for myself handing out bandages and being patient with the revives and eventually pubbies stop mashing the respawn button. Also the fact that I pop smoke grenades to cover revives and that I avoid risks in order to stay alive. before I know it there's a whole army of the undead flying out of my syringe

maybe having a weird but readable screenname helps ?

This is important to do. Sometimes I'll die and there'll be 3 medics nearby. Some of them are getting closer, so I wait. Oh, one of them is down to 6m, maybe he's making his way over here? Nope, going away again. And eventually they all leave. If this happens a few times, i don't wait for any medic thats not already within 5m. Its not like they're playing the objectives while they're not reviving me. The faster I respawn, the more flags I can defend.

Yeah just add me: Ineffiablefx

We get games going almost every night. I'm free almost all day until I pick up family at airport in the late evening. If you join on me, chances are you'll see two or three other goons too, like desert pickles, winter mute, king drugga, Mellow journalism, gamer babe, red 19, backup snacks and my favorite: poopshow

You can just add goons as you meet them. We usually join each other if we see each other online.

Played Giant's Shadow for the first time last night in Conquest. It feels like it's in this weird space where each individual point is really well designed and interesting to fight over, but between the points there's just nothing. I had fun with it though. It didn't seem like as much of a snipefest as people were complaining about, but my squad spent most of the time backcapping A/B so there was a lot of cover.
