Glitch warning or reminder:

Do not try to view Assignments while dying, or while selecting a spawn point.

It will cause you to develop astigmatism, and no longer be able to make any input.

Have to restart the game.

This happens on PC but if you are looking at them in between rounds. If you look at assignments when the round start you will need to ALT+F4 because :dice:

Hey I’m looking to join up with some groups to dig trenches and throw sand bags on xbox

Also ammo/medic crates require people to interact with them correct? Ive all but given up on those and run pouches.

Yeah people seem to not notice them. I like running supply crates when I'm on a mic with someone since you can resupply gadgets with those.

Because there is a decent cooldown on using them and you don't want to accidentally pick up a single bullet and lock you out from using it for real.

"I have to press a button to instantly refill everything rather than squatting by a box for 15 seconds while it slowly refills" is a weird complaint.

Pouches for life. It goes farther than the box, allowing me to throw it at clueless pubbies. Lets face it, clueless pubbies make up 80% of the server.

Pouches have like hit scans too. So even if they're running away behind a corner as long as you started the animation to throw to them when you see them, you'll resupply them.

A core component of battlefield support/medic play is shoveling health and ammo down your oblivious teammates’ throats, and the new crates unfortunately don’t really help all that much with this

Any time I encounter a group of pubbies all bunched up, you better believe I am spamming that ammo/health pouch.

Using the bags is just leaving points on the table.

And to echo the poster above me:

Yeah you can throw the pouch as they are running away from you and still get points.

Which leads to funny situations where you resupply a teammate by chucking a bag of ammo into a gutter six feet away from them

It’s not an oversight, it’ll come later as Tides of War content (presumably whenever the American chapter releases).

Oh don't get me wrong, I would never use the thing since this is my first console battlefield game and my aim is somewhere around that of a blind, drunk horse. It just seemed weird. Makes sense with Tides though

Its bf1 but better.

There's little things to nit pick but overall it's fun. Also it's not fair to compare the game now to bf1 with all the dlc, we have to remember they have months of planned free content coming.

Come on. Butt clan needs its general.

To be fair, bf4 and (to a lesser extent bf1) were buggy or unstable servers on release. It's what you have to expect from a dice release and it works out in the end.

Reminder in bf1 all the way up to the end you could not customize a vehicle out of a game. Also initially you could not customize soldiers out of the game. So bfv is ahead in that regard.

I am liking it quite a bit but i feel like I’m one of the weird ones that loved bf1 and I feel like it’s missing something that bf1 had from the very beginning. Can’t really put my finger on it but maybe it just hasn’t clicked with me yet.

Also am I crazy or is it a graphical downgrade? I am on the base PS4 so maybe it’s better on the pro

I've seen some that are bugged like that. 10 kills in a round or 20 kills in a life type bugs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Improve your ability to idetify targets and read the UI in one easy step! Sit closer to the TV :corsair:

The engagement distances seem different in this game compared to BF1, even though they really aren't. I feel like it's at least partially due to it being much more colorful, meaning people actually blend in rather than being brown coats on black mud and you can get a lot closer. No spotting is obviously huge too.

The assignments are bugged as hell. I went like 30-4 in a round of Conquest using only one gun and didn’t unlock “get 10 kills in a round” with that gun.

I think the difference is the amount of fluff on screen. Arras is a perfect example because the amount of foliage on the map is exponentially more than the equivalent BF1 map. St. Quentin or Monte Grappa feature relatively barren grass fields where BFV has a ton of shrubs and flowers. I think BFV looks much better compared to BF1 but it was easier to pick people out farther away than in BFV.
