Honestly the number of times I've heard someone talk in any BF game can be counted on one hand, people are either in a party or dont have a mic plugged in. I've never heard anyone talk in BFV yet.

I had a really good pubbie on my squad today, with his communication we dominated, but then he quit after one game and it was even more frustrating to play after getting a glimpse of some actual teamwork. I never play any game regularly enough to make gaming friends.

I met a full squad of lovely pubbies who all had mics today. The funny thing is, no one bothered talking until I asked the squad leader to call in a rocket. After that ice breaker we made an excellent squad.

Yeah I had that happen a lot in BF4. Complete silence until I made a callout or raged about something and then suddenly everyone's like "oh yeah we can talk to each other."

Just occurred to me that XIM users are going to have an absolute field day in this game.

Do gamepad users get extra auto-aim like in Destiny 2? I played around with using a XIM in that and sure enough it works but I still prefer and did better with proper KB/M. It's a nice crutch for people who aren't good at shooters, though.

The MG34 feels like hot garbage, I hope the specialisations make a difference. A miserable 50 rounds and being no more effective prone/deployed than a KE7 in ADS is a sad state of affairs.

It gets 100 round belt and less muzzle flash (you're less visible) or 75 round double drum mag (faster reload too) and less overheat. Upgraded is quite good at least until you unlock the MG42... :getin:

I mostly play support but I dont often go prone to use the bipod. I mostly run and gun so I've been using the KE7 with a 3x and it's been extremely effective. I'm also enjoying the M1A1, I love the near lack of recoil

I loved the m1a1 in beta, but for some reason it's jist not clicking for me now- it's not fast firing or damaging enough for close in, and the damage falloff makes it hard at range.

Nope. You can join on friends though.

Also unrelated note I think I'm done with this game on console unless they do something about the MMGs.

Both the Mg34 and 42 and extremelly good once properly upgraded and with a good position. You really need to step down from the frontline and play more "dirty" but you can mow down entire squads before they notice you. Being said I'm more of a run/gun guy so the Bren and Lewis are more up my alley.

Live At Five!
Feb 15, 2008
I haven't found any gun to be overwhelmingly annoying like the hellreigel in BF1 yet. A deployed mg34/42 is good but staying prone is a great way to get domed. I always play objectives so MMGs dont fit my playstyle at all. What I love about BFV so far is that tanks are easily taken care of by assault players, I've destroyed more tanks with panzerfausts than been killed by tanks. But the best thing is how few times I've been killed by planes, which is once. A stuka managed to blow up some barrels at a point that killed me and that's it. A far cry from when planes were farming infantry with darts in BF1.

I tried the model 8 and man is it garbage unupgraded. The RoF is terrible combined with the 5 round clip. I loved playing scout in BF1 but I don't think playing aggro scout will be nearly as effective in BFV. Assault and support definitely seem to be the go to classes so far.

Edit: I also would trade being able to crouch run for being able to slide easily. I don't ever see a reason to crouch run but I loved sliding around corners in BF1. I know it's just double tapping B but that's way more time my thumb isnt on the left stick to aim.

I got slam hosed last night by a ju88.

He got me. I admit it.

I spent all my time trying to shoot him down, and instead got killed by him, or his twin posse of bf109s.

I was livid

Someone compare this to BF1 for me please and thanks? I didnt like BF3/BF4 much at all outside of the incredible sound design. BF1 though was super fun and nowhere near as frustrating as the previous few games.

Did they somehow make the game sound even better?

I went with the upgraded turrets on the ju88 and it shreds fighters. Ive been seat swapping and have been able to survive fighters and shoot them down on occasion.

I normally buy all BF games, but I was skeptical with this one. This confusing is released/is not relased is stealing the thunder from the release date.

Here it shows that can be pre-ordered.

It's official release date is tomorrow the 20th, but early access started on the 15th for people who got the deluxe version or who subbed to premier access.

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


Xbros had a party of 8 or 9 last night. Kind of a pain to get us all into one server (and on the same team) but I suspect that will be easier once the game is fully released.

Game is good. I don't really mind the changes to spotting. Planes seem to be about the same as BF1. They handle well and interact with the battle much more than they did in 3 and 4.

Gun play feels as good as it did in 3 and 4.

Graphics got better once I turned off all the post processing, but the snow is still blindingly bright.

Don't mind forking over the extra money for the deluxe. I had a great time playing it all weekend while the lady was distracted by Let's Go Pikachu.

Seems the best way to get a big group on the same side (if there is player space) is have people form splinter squads to invite the waiting players. Joining alone doesnt guarantee you make the same team and theres no team swapping option.
