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 haven't really noticed vehicle respawn bugs until this past week, but I just joined a game that had 4 friendly and 4 enemy planes with immediate respawns for a couple maps. If I wasn't in a plane I was going wild with an AA position. It was fun, but pandemonium.

Later on another server the tank spawns refused to do anything for a whole round. It would show two ready to go and when you clicked to deploy it'd say the spawn wasn't available, despite still showing two spawns.

The first experience did get me pretty hyped for a dogfighting mode, but I hope they fix this soon.

When you unlock the level 10 class pistols, are they unlocked on every class? There's a .gif above of someone using the Kolibri on the medic class.

Yup. I run the kolbri at least on one of my joke builds per class.

Just remember with scout, play objectives and be in a good squad since those points help level up fast.

And use the experimental, it's a great gun for being up close and capping objectives. For easy points, use the flare too on enemy fronts. If a teammate kills him you get 20 points just for spotting him with the flare.

Each class unlocks a class specific primary and pistol at lvl 10. Any class can unlock the C93, No. 3 Revolver, and Kolibri at rank 10.

No, the pistols are unlocked by specific classes. There's the little class icon next to it. Assault unlocks the no. 3 revolver, support, the c93, scout, the Kolibri. Medic level 10 doesn't unlock any pistols.

You should rock a Martini-Henry or Gewehr 95 Infantry and die with some dignity. These are the guns of a true man.

Playing with this experimental crap does a disservice to anyone who fought and died in WW1 ok

I've never sniped in a BF game before this one; getting to 10 as a scout wasn't that bad. Play the objective hard, use that flare, it flies by.

I've now played enough to know my exact route to and from each objective in conquest, always away from the flow of battle so I can cap uncontested flags. Recently played a Ballroom blitz where I got 25k points and 20 flag caps. We lost of course but one person can only do so much. Doing this has increased my SPM with support from about 650 to 850 or so.

Second game ever on the castle map, was getting plinked at by a sniper on the walls. Dove into a field gun in sheer desperation, and dropped a shell dead on him across the map with the first shot. Then cleared out a small town by shelling the poo poo out of the confused enemy team while they milled around helplessly.

I think I'm going to put more than a few hours into this. :getin:

I was actually just asking about this game since it's on sale right now. Is it that bad? For $30 it's a lot of content. Battlefield 1 is hard to beat though.

It's not as good as Battlefield 1, because it's super casual and doesn't have the same mechanics or terrain destruction etc. It does have the same high quality sounds and visuals, but Star Wars, so it really feels like being in the movies. I put 105 hours into the MP, and I'm both kinda burned out and a bit spoiled by this game, but I always treated it as a game you play for an hour or two in between playing other games. Definitely worth a look, just go in knowing what you getting into.
