It's a chainsaw, it's insanely good. And the new assault submachine gun is also insane. 81 rounds, fast rate of fire, AA sights. The double barrel slug shotgun is a one hit kill from 0-25 yards, just ridiculous.

The verttetti sniper rifle, hot garbage, but i also hate the sights on it.

Lmao strategy videos for BF1 are worthless. Save that poo poo for RTS games. BF1 is more of a hilarious cartoon WW1 simulator, which is why this whole esports push from DICE is stupid. Who the gently caress plays battlefield and thinks "yes I want 5v5 slow paced bullshit." Instead of that they should make 64v64 conquest because that's way more battlefield. Save ~~esports~~ bullshit for CoD

the only way to really enjoy battlefield is to accept that your individual performance has at most a minimal bearing on whether or not your team wins or loses, and that only by letting go of the artificial "victory" can you enjoy the true one: having fun

seriously though, if you've reached the point where seeing a couple of your teammates running ahead of you get blown the gently caress up by a tank, bodies ragdolling through the air, makes you go "loving pubbies" instead of "woah that was awesome" then stop making yourself miserable and play something else

This unless you're a high ground edge lord in the assault tank just spamming the spotlight and arcing shots halfway across the map. Then you're doing the lord's work.

Plus you just know the other guys are getting so mad about it.

This match was a 50-1 MVP ops masterpiece. So many spot assists.

I love the idea of the obrez but I'm not a huge fan in practice. The frommer owns for mag dumping or finishing people off, obrez is way riskier because if you miss you're hosed. It's too bad, I was looking forward to it.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I think my issues with pubbies stems less from the fact that they die a lot but more from the fact that they are loving useless snipers.

Or they use the landship to sit way at the rear end end of the map to pick up 4 kills instead of pushing in with the infantry and taking the point.

I don't care about bad pubbies. I care about useless pubbies.

It's ducking painful playing with pubbies.

Last night Yellow and I were playing Operations on the Tsar maps.

24 people on each side, out of that, 14 on our team were snipers. They loving sucked at it too. We lost by a hair on the last point as attackers.
If even half of those snipers were any other class and helped push, we would have won. loving infuriating.

When I see teammates camping in buildings and sniping I dynamite the building. Or if they are just on a hill or something I get in front of them so they can't see.

Oh haha sorry man i was just working on unlocks and not taking it v seriously-- the pubbies still have to learn the russian maps. I just find it easier to farm things out on operations.

It's just mind boggling to think they had a serviceable battlepack/weapon system in BFH (play game, get 'money', buy the weapons/attachments you want, also there's assignments for some things) (and even BF4 to a certain extent) and completely scrapped it for: All weapon attachments are fixed, random lottery for weapon skins, ridiculous assignments.

I'm a big fan of BFH. Fully customizable weapons/uniforms, the option to play All Maps servers, and the Blood Money game mode. EA abandoned the game pretty early on tho :/

BFH came out at a pretty uh... let's call it "lovely" time to release a video game starring cops murdering people (even more so than any other time) so quietly leaving it by the wayside was as much a PR move as it was a return to the franchise arc. My buddies in the industry (Nintendo Uncles and Aunts) were intrigued that it did as well for as long as it did.

Great times tonight y'all, I'm still uh, boggled by the fact that the reticle for the double barrel shotty doesn't align with the actual graphic of the gun. Seems like an unusual oversight for dice

I would counter that shooting an rpg at a cop car while blasting Public Enemy is the greatest achievement of video games.

holy poo poo the maps were awful combined with no fun counter-camper measures it felt like a lovely battlefield 4.5 rather than a full game.

I like to drive the troop carrier vehicle running over hapless wanderers. It's good times. The gadgets are pretty cool.

The vanilla maps do feel uninspired sometimes, but the expansion maps (which are dead now) really have an action movie quality to them.

It's at the point now where if I see certain players on the opposing team, I know to switch over or leave for another server.

Other than Rupture and De Vaux I just can't get in to the expansion maps.


e: oh and soissons was just amazing on frontlines before they added the time limits, I once had a three hour back and forth battle there that saw both sides down to one telegraph. Hands down the best round of BF1 I've ever played.

Yeah expansion generally is lackluster, Vaux forever though. Vanilla still fuckin rules! I could play empire's edge (BUTTNAVY) or Amiens or ballroom for hours and hours. Really just gently caress Suez.

Waifu is outta town again next week and with luck we won't get JOSE'D here so I'll be around a lot! Also tomorrow night.
