A lot of of the regular Xbox squad doesn't plan anymore. I play regularly still, gt is TheGohnComplex.

Game probably plays different because of the new weapon time to kill patch, it made things more twitchy and you die faster. Needs a bit more cautious play style.

Any of the old squad planning on picking up Sea of Thieves? Beastie? Fastest? Duck?

New BF game out this year, hopefully DICE learns from the boring noobfest BF1 turned out to be.

I’ve gotten back into BF1 in the past couple months and play most days for an hour or two after I get the kids to bed. 7-9 eastern. Pwnwall on Xbone. I’m also a member of the Butt clan. It doesn’t happen often but I find it amusing when I get messages from other players telling me how offensive the emblem is.

Well, my first impression is that there is an incredible amount of stuttering and lag every time I encounter another player or something happens, so that's nice.

HEY GUYS YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT DICE INCREASED RIBEYROLLES RECOIL, AND MADE THE HELLRIEGEL AND AUTOMATICO BETTER AT RANGE

BECAUSE THAT loving GUN REALLY NEEDED ANOTHER GOD drat BOOST

Like the patch notes explicitly state they reduced the Ribeyrolle's ability to "mag dump" - because that's not the ENTIRE loving ISSUE with the Automatico and Hellriegel. I seriously can only fathom that the reason for this continual bullshit is to keep the Call of Duty crowd pleased or something, because the community is never asking for these weapons to be improved.

The community probably has an average of 100 stars each with the hellriegel, and they probably put in a service ticket every time they get killed. It's like in bf4 when the never-leave-the-spawn-with-the-long-range-sniper-rifle crew complained to :dice: until they nerfed the UCAV.

It's a real shame SMGs are in the game at all. The setting allows for weapon design that is genuinely different from most FPS games but they went ahead and added 30-60 round full auto basically-an-assault-rifles to keep scrubs happy. They are the least interesting guns in the game and just serve as a crutch for people who aren't interested in trying anything new.

Yeah it also just thrusts the game into the generic "modern warfare post machine-gun" Era that everyone is familiar and comfortable with and while that's great for making money its boring. As. gently caress.

I don't even understand how someone can have 100+ service stars with a single weapon. How is that not insanely boring? I have 13,000 kills in BF1 and the most kills I have with a single gun is 239. I would have quit or went insane if I had been using the same loving gun for 120+ hours. That's mental.

It looks like they made a pretty big balance pass over all of the Russian operations maps. Most notably they removed artillery trucks completely from Galicia and Brusilov, thank god

I'm reading the patch notes right now and the only thing it says about the hellregiel is that it will take longer to aim down sight. The automatico seems to have been slightly buffed though. Also keep in mind that bursting the ribeye was buffed, only spamming it full auto was nerfed.

Holy poo poo yes. If you put down a supply crate, it stutters every time it resupplies. Same for medic crates. Same for basically anything that gives you points. It stutters for a loving spot assist. This is unplayable, great job :dice:

Being honest, since the weapon balance patch I've been playing less and less. SMGs are way too good at medium range now, LMGs feel worse... Sure, you need one less bullet to kill but they made it hard to land these shots overall on most weapons. The Chauchat is like a battle rifle but that's about it.

The whole TTK patch made most SMGs just meat blenders and netcode is still garbage.

Not complaining since I paid 35€ for the complete edition and I've put 250+ hours on it but unless I adapt soon to the patch I may just play BF4 again.

Passchendale is basically the ruined part of St. Quinten Scar, spread across the whole map

River Somme is basically the nice part of St Quinten Scar with a bunch of trenches

I think my biggest question is why is there no Operations or Frontlines? Conquest Assault is boring, and conquest in this game is weird to begin with.

I feel really let down by this DLC, They Shall Not Pass was great and the content after that has been more poopy each release, now culminating in this laggy stuttering mess :/ why EA, why would you do this to DICE

I've played over 400 hrs in this game and still don't fully understand how ticket drain happens in this game's Conquest. Conquest ticket drain in BC2, BF3/4 was a lot easier to understand. I'd also argue that the maps in BF1, especially the base game, are Operations designed and play best on that, just like BC2 was Rush based and BF3/4 were more Conquest focused.

Basically you lose a ticket every time you respawn, and the more flags your team holds, the faster the opposing teams tickets bleed.

So many straight shots right into the other team with one point no one bothers with way the hell off in the distance.

If anything it's worse with a lot of the DLC maps where they don't even have the way out point. The game really did peak with the French DLC

Are you being sarcastic? It's pretty straightforward. More flags = Faster ticket drain. There's no need to memorize exactly how many seconds it takes to drain one ticket on a particular map or anything.

Leave me alone, dad, I'm with my friends!


Played a couple rounds of conquest last night. Didn't have any stuttering issues, but I did see a couple of guys on the other team stuttering/rubberbanding around while I was shooting at them.

Passchendale is cool. River Somme is a turkey shoot at the beginning, drat. If you're on the defending side it's murdertown until the attackers manage to break through - even though they had tanks rolling, we managed to hold them off for quite a while last night.

Is the med pack/ammo pack toss super janky now? I remember it was touchy at launch, but now it seems like I have to MASH BUTON a dozen times to resupply/heal someone.

Oh wait they added new maps with the patch? I didn't even realize because my friends are too cheap to buy premium (even when it was on sale for like $17), even though they will gladly put hundreds of hours into this game.

Yeah I am absolutely terrible with them. I use planes to fly across the map and bail so I can back cap points. That's about it.
