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.

I agree, this map is a series of three vignettes separated by swathes of rollling hills. An interesting theory, but gently caress you if you get stuck in no man's land!

Yup, agreed. If you can't spawn on a squad that's backcapping, or in the middle, it's loving boring.

Also back caps seem to happen more than usual because nobody wants to go back through no man's land and defend that back point.

They should add unsaddled/kitted horses as a period-appropriate way to rapid transit. Not that like... a farmer's herd wouldn't have fuckin skedaddled when a dirigible crashed into their paddock, but look the code is pretty much already written.

He's a friend of mine but not a goon. I'm actually not sure if he picked it himself because he shares the xbox and account with a couple roommates.

By contrast I've never seen my personal favorite, in a horribly-offensive slur type of way, PSN name again: I played a round of BF3 with JIGABOO_BLASTER## where I don't remember the number but hope it was 69 (or 88 to really drive home the hatred).

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

Cool. My psn name is Underwhelmed. I think I might have you on my list already but maybe not. I haven't played battlefield since the early days of 4, but I am still pretty good at throwing supplies, healing, and catching bullets with my face.

I'm not joking; he found an abandoned Fokker and hopped in, and the roundels changed to British automatically. Someone on the German side must have landed it and subsequently abandoned it for some reason.

Yeah I definitely knew about Sopwith triplanes and in fact that's what I google searched to find that image. I've been a huge WWI aviatian fan since I was a little kid. In fact my senior "thesis" (english major at a private liberal arts school lol) was writing a script for a theoretical Band of Brothers-esque mini-series based off Jagdgeschwader 1.

Gotta be honest, I think I figured out my biggest problem with this game. Its not fun with parties of 3 or more, unless you're friends with a ton of people who don't care about vehicles.

The few games I've joined with yall was just us sitting in menus waiting for one of us to die in a tank, which happens infrequently amongst us. That and the tank instant respawn system is loving retarded.

Went 45-2 as Cavalry the other night. The secret is to don't focus on one guy. If you miss the kill, you should just keep galloping.

I do not care about vehicles at all and actively try not to spawn in one if I can help it.

I like them being part of the game, supporting them, and shooting them, but I don't care about driving them or being in them. I like rocking my machinegun and throwing ammo pouches at every single person I can and pounding enemy campsites with mortars.

Yeah, I like hitting them with stuff that makes them go boom. I just don't care about riding in them. They are deathtraps and I almost never get kills because it's hard to land enough hits on a guy running while the tank is driving over rough terrain (there is no non-rough terrain).

Unrelated to this game but a couple buddies and I were playing Rocket League the other night and somehow, typing through the system keyboard with controllers, we managed to piss some random kid off so badly that he brute-forced my friend's admittedly simple password and tried to gently caress with his PSN account. It wasn't like he could access any sensitive data but jesus someone got so mad just... reading incoherent simple phrases like "fuk u" and "ur mom" over a chat box in a game about If Sports Were With Cars?? that he went and tried to gently caress with someone's account.

Fyi people can supremely gently caress you over just by getting into your psn account and activating their console as the primary, it happened to me and it can completely lock you out of all your downloaded games and it can take sony anything up to six months to fix it. :stare:
