Haven't been able to join a Battlegoons party yet. Is it normal to try to join a community party then get sent to a server of the same map where I'm all by myself?

Eh, the game is pretty good about getting you and your party together as long as your in the same playstation party and there's enough room on the squad/team. Are you sure you're not on the same server, just on the wrong team?

I had it happen to me a couple times too, I wouldn't be surprised if the additional level of abstraction bugged the gently caress out of the interface somehow. Does it make you join the game as well as the party? I've had luck joining parties and then requesting an invite on top or whatever.

I think my new strategy for playing Suez as Great Britain without a group is to see if I can limpet every building at B before it turns into a slog my team can't get out from.

The answer is no. My team will always lose B.

With a bit of dedication, you can level most of B and surrounding buildings with the field guns scattered around A.
A fun thing to do as the turks is man the heavy machine gun by the flag at D and spot+perforate any cheeky chappie who pokes his head out a window or up on a roof, or anyone making a run on C or trying to flank for D. You'll get plinked a few times by snipers, but unless someone gets clever with a rocket gun, you can dominate whole swathes of the midfield from that spot.

Whichever direction the camera is slightly facing is the side you'll swing your sword on. You don't have to have the victim in the middle of the screen, just have to be looking anywhere on that side of the horse.

I still haven't gotten the cavalry saber's range down when trying to defend a charge. Maybe it's a lag issue, but I've been killed a couple times head-on from like 30 feet out.

Speaking of glitches n bullshit, I keep getting a "lost objective" refusal for spawning on C (Ballroom Blitz), even though my team clearly holds the objective. Wouldn't be so bad but why it takes ten seconds to give me a giant refusal screen is beyond me. :dice:

Is there a known glitch to make oneself invisible? I've been killed a few times over the months by people who don't appear on my screen and last night a pubbie who was behind me sent a message asking "was that guy invisible?!". I never gave it much thought, what will all the bugs and how it doesn't happen very often at all, but still I'm wondering.



Had some fun earlier with an enemy squad who kept coming up the same hill, the same way, into death (Empire's Edge, they were coming up to D under the AA gun). Finally one of them got me and (of course) Tea Bagged me so after I respawned I found him laying down and clubbed his rear end, haha, sweet revenge T bag never felt so good.

I have some theories, or rather, some ~video evidence~ of supernatural occurrences that may explain some instances of invisibility. Stay tuned for deets.

you can also hit crouch to switch shoulders in 3rd person to help you line up swipes on the other side, but as vegans said you still ultimately swipe at whatever side you're looking at. Personally I like to center the badguy on my screen if I have time.

I recall it being sometime in February with the French dlc following up in March.

I'm looking forward to some weapon balancing in the next patch. Mostly because I read an AMA on reddit from a DICE weapon balance guy who said they're buffing the Martini Henry. Not to launch madness but somewhere in between. It's my favorite weapon and it needs to pack more of a punch to make up for its numerous downsides.

Anything about nerfing the shotgun? poo poo's ridiculous.


I've dipped my toes into the arty truck again and had some great runs, but I also have problems where it seems like in spite of a direct hit, there's no damage. Probably lag.




Edit; Huh, I seem to die to one shot regardless of medium to close range, all the time. It's frustrating to be shooting into a dude with my BAR, getting three hit markers and suddenly I'm dead from one shot, not even a headshot. (10a)

I don't remember if they mentioned anything about shotguns. I don't really thing anything needs to be changed about shotguns. Maybe the 10a hunter needs to be nerfed somewhat but you're sacrificing range for close range stopping power. If anything the m97 and the other shotgun (I can't remember it's name because it sucks so bad) need to be touched up because there's no reason to use them over the 10a. Also I really really hope they buff the 10a slug. I miss the days of slug sniping in BFBC2 and the 10a slug just sucks. It's wildly inconsistent and has far too much recoil. And the garbage sight on it really sucks

The slug is only really viable in hard core, where it one hits and can do collaterals

So is there some type of glitch or exploit that I don't know about? I ask because on 3 different maps I was killed by people who were outside the building I was camping in trying to regen health. Like, I was laying down in a corner, nowhere near a door or window, and killed by some dipshit with a rifle nowhere near me, or across the map.

Tonight was the first time in my life I rage-quitted because it happened at least 4 or 5 times.
