I've yet to have a frontline match that wasn't one extreme or the other, either single digit minutes or pushing nearly two hours. The hour+ back and forth pushes are some of the most enjoyable BF moments I've ever had.

A couple nights ago I had a Frontlines match that ran something like 80 minutes where I knocked out four different weapon unlock tasks. After about 50 minutes and wanting to go do bed, myself and another goon were actively trying to lose (our team basically never got past the midpoint the whole time) and so I just ran around with a shovel and would run very far away from the telegraphs. And the game still went on another half hour.

Yup, I was just in a 60 min frontline that finished off what i needed for the scoped Chauchat, and I was even able to knock off 5 headshots in a round with the russian sniper. The periscope spots seems really hard. The last 20 minutes of the battle I just did that that only got 4, even though I marked so many people.

Also had some nazi gently caress running around with an icon that showed a Klan member gunning down black people. I could only report him twice.

The Frommer Stop is such a good scout pistol there's no reason to use the Experimental imo. I started being a terrible person and using the Russian Sniper (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em) as a secondary gun for counter-sniping, and running around with the Frommer as main. Can't say I've been that successful, but still, that pistol is awesome.

The trench fighter is the best counter sniper weapon. Some turds figured out how to glitch to the top of the anthill at B on Sinai, and then never stopped spawning on each other. 3-4 kills every pass, until they all switched to K-bullets :getin:

Or the mortar. I am starting to think the HE is more effective than the airburst.

E: tankbuster rules but it's impossible with every sperglord 100/50 pilot in the trenchfighter.

Should I just buy premium? Is it actually worth it this time? I held off before because I wasn't dumb enough to preorder and spend an extra 60 bucks or w/e on a DICE game, but it seems like everyone really likes the DLC and I should just get it. I miss shooting mans for sure.

I was on the fence, but they definitely knocked it out of the park, the DLC does kind of own. And we miss your face in the hole. The hole of poop.

The maps are all decent and the new weapons are something new to unlock and play with, but it's still very much infuriatingly :dice:

Whenever you hit start, the game freezes up for 30 seconds, the round score isn't shown on the scoreboard and every update their sanity is out even further into question.

However, shooting people is still just as fun on the new maps as the base ones.

Are there plans to have official integrated server rotations eventually? So like, all the old maps plus all the DLC maps in one place for the ballers who pony up for the content? Because it gets pretty tedious pretty fast playing the four Shall Not Pass maps over and over.

If i had 70bux I'd get premium but for now I'm just going to buy each DLC as they come out. Speaking of DLC, one is going to be Russia and have snow right? Also hoping for Canadians to be released.

"Hey, ammo eh?"

Seriously, Canada was an important part of the war, and many of the great victories by the British forces were actually Canadian. Though I don't think we had too many unique weapons.

Oh and I want to make sure I have periscope spotting correct, you just see and mark them and you get points when the marked target goes down right?

Yep, same as normal spotting but you can be behind cover.

Since they nerfed the incendiary trip mines I've been using the periscope a lot more lately.

A Ross rifle and a pole with a spike through the end for melee.

you line up the shot and adjust for distance with the periscope and then all you do is hit y/triangle, ads and fire. you can do it with any sniper rifle, you just own wooks extra hard if you dome them with iron sights from downtown

Yea the ross is the only thing I could think of, and wasn't it terrible? Maybe some British weapons that aren't in the game yet.

The SMLE is just an enfield isn't it?

Anyways, I could have sworn I got the 5 headshot with the russian sniper in one match lat night, but apparently not. I did manage to get after an hour the challenges to get the new optical autorifle, but that was painful. The gun you have to use it such crap.

Now that it happened to me, I think I remember someone posting earlier in the thread that for 'get X kills in a round' requirements, you need to have the other one finished for it to count. I got 15 kills with the telescopic Benet-Mercie but since my mortar kills weren't done it reset for the next round.

What a bunch of rear end. At least the Headshots with Russian Sniper isn't that bad. Just have to wait to nail other snipers or support trying to be sneaky once i get my periscope spots.

anyone else playing on a ps4pro with an LG OLED tv?

go to the LG website and download the newest firmware update, it just came out on the 31st and for some reason doesn't auto update.
it fixes the HDCP 2.2 issue between the pro and LG

now if :dice: would patch in that HDR support they wouldn't shut up about before release

Anyone have any problems with the new DLC weapon unlock assignments? I had to do the one for kills in a round with the M1909 Benét-Mercié Telescopic twice for it to count, and now I've done the one for five headshots with the Russian 1895 Sniper three times. I get the notification icon that tracks the assignment and I get the necessary kills, but then the assignment is incomplete in the next match.

I would love a game mode that lasts even longer than frontline where you hide in dugouts in trenches while you're just loving bombarded by hundreds of artillery shells and then you die of a random piece of shrapnel that hits you in the head. You never see the other team and if you make a break for no man's land you get stuck in barbed wire and get shot. I've just finished reading a memoir from a French soldier and one from a German officer and it seems about accurate.
