do you have to equip the lance on the horses?

my horse rider load out has also been bugged for months, I don't have the Russian calvary equipped and only have the 1911, and cannot figure out how to change the load out for it\

nm figured it out, now to figure out how to do the charge thing

nm figured that out, charging people is hard

OK so here's my problem, it looks like the actual crosshairs / countdown timer of the lance charge has nothing to do with where it's aimed / effective? Do you just feel out and judge by the animation when a mans is gonna eat the instakill?

Well during a charge your right stick is disabled, so all aiming is done with the horse using the left stick. Your dude will automatically seek and track enemy nuts to skewer within range. So think of it like activating this cone of death on your right side, and basically ignore visual cues from the spear.

e: and ignore the crosshair

At the end I was hoping that if you got multiple enemies they would just start stacking up on the lance. Disappointed.

it was on foot. A few months after the game came out, I think I did something on the Android app and it somehow de-equipped the Russian 1895 from the calvary loadout, meaning whenever I would get off the horse I only had the 1911 and grenades.

I finally figured out last night that if you press R2/L2 on the deploy screen (so you can like change your horsie color), you can re-equip it.

I was pretty sad I got taken out by a horserider with a saber. You'd think the lance would hit him first.

I like that lancing another rider is tricky-- it would be dumb if the lance charge worked on horses because you'd both just charge straight at each other and see whose netcode won out. So you really gotta time your thrust, which has a relatively long windup and short damage window.

The windmill strike also has more range than the saber if you're at ~canter speed~

lmbo dice you're so CUTE


Funny thing though is that I often dismount just to pull out my 1911 before mounting up again so any time I hop off, it's ready.

It's hard to get a sense of what the gameplay will be like but it looks like a TDM/Conquest hybrid.

Also, the new emblem is amazing.

It's a new 'competitive' game mode. 5v5 on cut-down versions of regular maps. They made a point to say that vehicles are included so it's more than just TDM. Another thing they mentioned was that you pick your class before the match starts so I get the impression that you'll keep that kit throughout.

Reached level 110 shooting a sniper off the roof of a building while on horseback of my black beauty that I have named Black Phillip. Feels good man.

I believe it's part of the Russian DLC, so you'll probably need to buy that.

:siren: Another chance at the summer missions coming up :siren:.

Aug 28th to Sept 2nd.

The dates seem messed up in the announcement, since they're still talking July/Aug, so I assume its:
- 28 - 29th, win 3 rounds of Operations
- 30- 31st, win 3 rounds of Rush
- 1st-2nd, win 3 rounds Frontlines

The reward for all 3 is a Russian Knife and the gold dog tag (along with all the associated dogtags), awarding :911: Sept 11th :911:.



The announcement is in game, but I figured I'd post it here too cause those things aren't up for long and I know some of you guys missed the announcements before (I know I almost did!).

If you check the dogtags page, they're listed under the community tab for the back side. Each step has its own tag. Call to action is for ops, defend the frontlines is for rush, and the next frontier is for frontlines.

From what I can tell there's no way to actually track whether a match counts towards the total because I swear I won more than 3 the first time around.
