I remember this from BF3, I'm assuming it's an equally contrived and idiotic measure in this game because DICE!

Also, in looking my skill up, I found this on the front page of the Battlefield site. Really, DICE? :raise:

Bethesda was selling the Fallout 4 soundtrack on Vinyl. Unsurprisingly Gamestop had like 8 copies lying around.

I think the old Battlefield Goons page used stats from BF4stats.com, but for some reason BF1stats.com has never come online. There's a page but all it's said for the last few months is "we're working on a BF1 site, it'll be up soon."

I'm mostly just referring to Beez deciding not to host a new page for BF1. I noticed that battlefieldtracker has a team function, maybe that would be similar.

I can't find myself and I run into a ton of things about "You never played BF4 so your profile won't load" and I'm guessing the API has been reworked or something for BF1.

Ooh negative on that it just doesn't assign my PSN Account name to the profile on the Tracker.

It's definitely not, but who knows what it's derived from.

I know I have friends who are terrible and their skill value shows that. Same with the good ones.

It's a combo of score per minute, kills per minute and kill death ratio.

Score per minute is good-ish, though it's obfuscated by a few things like boosts, if you're in a high functioning squad or not, do you constantly get different medals/service stars, etc.

Kills per minute is useless, you're not a better player than someone because you're always in the artillery truck while your teammates are on foot dying in the process of blowing up enemy armor or cap hard points. K/D falls in there too.

This game is incredibly frustrating coming from destiny. I've been trying conquest, and it's very tough to accomplish anything when NO ONE plays the objective. I always end up being the squad leader because i'm always spamming request orders, and when i am the leader, everyone just goes and does their own thing.

Not to mention the instant death after almost every spawn, and that seeing a tank is also instant death. I can't figure out how to do more than 6 damage to one with a grenade. If try to post up with the assault cannon thing, i get one shotted from across the map by a sniper.

I see the krew guys wanting to play on here sometimes, how do i become a part of that? because i'm ready to snap the disc out of frustration

It was good playing with a few of the xbone crew earlier. We played well but seemed to lose with a pretty close score. I didn't feel like I played too well, so sorry if I sucked a bit :V

Also apologies for sounding like a sex pest - my girlfriend had gone to bed so I was talking quietly to not disturb her

If you play this game like Destiny you are hosed. I like the "realism" in BF1 but it gets frustrating how NOBODY plays a medic well. I've made it to 40 without partying up and it's getting ridiculous how twitchy PvP is getting.

My best weapon is the gas grenade. I'm a big deal.

Does anyone who was part of the Xbox 360 BF3 crew still play? My memory fails me when I look at my friends list due to constantly shifting names and avatars.

I still play but I switched to PlayStation for this generation after hearing about how adorable Auxillary Treats dog was. Couldn't resist hearing that little pups barks in the party chat.
