An ability that affects movement speed would be cool but oh so exploitable. They'd have to be otherwise lovely since being able to rotate quickly or even dash from one side of a door to the other would be horrific to play against no matter which team you're on. My aim is already bad enough in this game where most players sit in a corner and slow walk everywhere.

something like a 1 speed caveira but instead of silent steps it would be a quick burst of speed

or an ability to quickly dash or dive a short distance which could cause a whole new wave of broken leg animations that would make for hilarious killcams

they'd have to be otherwise lovely since being able to rotate quickly or even dash from one side of a door to the other would be horrific to defend against

We're waiting for Hard to subtly drop a lunch break truth bomb in the dev cafeteria that people are hardly thrilled with 12 year old Smoke players teabagging downed Ash while spamming "gas the kikes" in all chat, especially considering that majority of popular online games do absolutely allow you to filter specific players out of the chat.

While we're still at that, I hope one day the technology will be there to allow a chat box that you can scroll up to see the past messages.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Sort of; shields are usually hosed these days due to the netcode once again; Blitz is still useful on smaller maps where he can take advantage of the small range of his gadget though (like House); the thing only goes out 5 meters or so.

They're better than claymores or smokes, at least.

I've seen that a lot of people have a really dumb habit of flashing a room and then waiting until after it wears off to go in, so they think they're worse than they are.

Claymores are situational but very useful on maps with heavy jumpout peeks (top of bridge on Kanal, exterior stairs/ladder on Hereford).

It's smokes that are useless because the smoke is client side so you never know if you're actually smoking a dude out or if he can see through it plain as day. BF1 is the only recent game to do smoke correctly; if you're inside the radius of effect it's a complete and utter white out of your screen.

Oh I definitely agree claymores are useful, they're just usually a lot more situational. Every claymore kill I've ever gotten has saved my life, but you have to anticipate being ambushed so I put them a little bit below flashes.

There's only a couple characters (if that, I can only think of Capitao) who have to pick between the two anyways, though.

I agree that the way smoke works currently could be improved but that doesn't mean they are actually useless.

Smoke grenades and Montagne's shield go together really well especially since the majority of this game is indoors.

Unlike flashbangs, smoke grenades work best if you throw a few of them at once. I've walked right onto the objective for a win more times than I can remember by just throwing smoke in 3 corners of the room causing anyone camping to panic. Try using them to cause confusion and chaos moreso than to directly conceal movement.

They will distract defenders and usually even spook them into giving away their position by blind firing into the cloud.

You can also throw them off of your position to make the enemy think you are trying to flank them or are breaching the opposite end of the building.

Are the servers always this bad or is it mainly a function of the Year 2 stuff launching with a new patch? A friend and I tried to get back into this on PS4 today and it was borderline unplayable due to regularly losing connection to the main server, people getting disconnected during games, etc.

Hard is there any word on that view bug being fixed in the upcoming patch?

I don't want bother with ranked until I know I'm not going to lose rounds to it.

And I'm not sure if it's better or worse in casual, on the bright side no precious rank lost to it, on the downside I can't rejoin whoever I was playing with and people need to either drop out or I get to sit out an entire match.

But this seems like a really hosed up thing to do.

And you can get the shield even closer if you put the shield up first before doing the reinforcements and mirror.

Gah, I've been playing so badly these past 2 days. Every round, I just make dumb mistakes and die instantly as a result. I wouldn't normally be so butthurt but I'm wasting my renown booster. I only bought it cause I was absolutely dominating rounds, and then the second I activate it, I'm always at the bottom of the scoreboard.
