our gift to you is a pistol skin... but to get it you need to grind out 200 kills in a pistols only server with a bunch of TDM, 180º no-scope, boom headshot! poopsockers.

have fun.

anything other than the vehicle skins are so pointless

and to be fair even those are pointless, but at least you can see them

It’s possible to get 200 pistol kills in regular rear end conquest servers. I’m at about 90 from 1 day of goofing around with mle1903/obrez/colt 45 depending on the map.

Typical :dice: so close but so far. Servers can make you disable everything in your loadout except grenades. For grenades you have to chose smoke or gas. Guess what every pistols only server map is covered in?

I use:
70% soldier stick sensitivity
70% soldier zoom sensitivity
0% stick aiming acceleration
13% center dead zone (both sticks)
13% axial dead zone (both sticks)
80% max input threshold (both sticks)
110% on all zoom sensitivity
And I turn off uniform soldier aiming.

I've been meaning to turn up my sensitivity a bit more but that takes :effort:

It takes a while to go from default to this but yes it is a game changer, so thank you.

I recommend everyone go check out the settings, dice really did a good job with spoiling us console players with options. Usually console games just let you set the left and right sticks to a number between 1 and 10 but you can really tweak things to your liking in this game.

I have the Xbox elite controller with the long stick for the right stick and that made a huge difference for me.

I have two paddles on the back that are mapped as left and right on the d-pad as well.

Playerbase is small but you'll find enough people to play with and Frontier Defense is drat fun.

At sale price you must experience the best SP campaign in years and awesome MP.

As much fun as lance charges are, I'm finding that the lance is pretty drat versatile with its normal attack. There's a fair bit of aim assist that the sword doesn't have.

You must be new to battlefield friend. You're actually lucky it was only half your team. As an aggressive scout, those assholes really ruin the reputation of the entire class. Scouts are wonderful if used aggressively due to spot flares but morons gotta try for sick nasty 500m headshots. Nevermind that it's easy to farm them because of how bright scope glare and how easy it is to get long range kills with iron sights.

LOVES EVERY FUCKING GAME EVER MADE. EVER.
The revisions to the WIP Heligoland Bight map sound pretty tasty. DICE are throwing in more boats, a lot more boats, all the fukken boats. It's going to start off with a behemoth dreadnaught PER SIDE, along with two (2) respawning L-class destroyers per side, plus the usual torpedo boats. And if a team loses their dreadnaught and falls way behind in tickets they can still trigger the behemoth reinforcement mechanic and get a second dreadnaught late game.

Bunch of other tweaks for the infantry, an extra flag, more cover, more AA guns, more pillboxes, but the "this is a full-on naval battle" aspect of the map sounds like a fun thing for them to lean into. With that many boats I wouldn't even care about how well balanced it was, it's just going to be an insane amount of explosions at sea and I am *into* that.

Nope. This was right at the start of the game and it was the first shot I took.

Weird. Could the guy you injured have killed himself with a rocket or grenade or something? Would that give you credit for a kill?

Did the ‘Tanks for The Memories’ service assignment today and it reset my rank on the stats tab in the main menu and completely bugged theservice assignments screen. :dice:

e: When im changing guns ingame on the spawn screen it says I’ve got 6 or so service stars with most of the dlc guns for some reason when I’ve only just unlocked them. Is any of this stuff happening to you guys

Nevermind I can still make progress towards the next vehicle perk so I assume ea/dice’s servers are just temporarily hosed.

But speaking of which the second service assignment for land vehicles is nice: it encourages using the tank variants that drop health packs for teammates, and the anti-air artillary truck

played the two new maps on the BF1 CTE for a couple of hours last night and calling in artillery barrages with the destroyer to take out a fully loaded dreadnaught will never not be fun.
