This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

I’m going to be away from home for a week until the 27th, am I missing out on good gear through the unlock bonuses? I couldn’t get the face mask to save my life, despite dropping a v2 on a house full of mans.

Think you might miss out on the Selbstlader

Ohhhh dear. I've worked my way through the specializations tree for the trench shotgun, and my precious baby is back once more. Even better than the BF1 version! And the bayonet!

Also, the Ribeyrolles 1918 is still an absurdly fantastic weapon and i'm going to stick with that for a while as Assault. Slap a 3x scope on that bad boy and get some great mid-to-long range distance kills.

Overall, I'm liking the new game. My main gripe is that there should be a spotting mechanic while you're looking around and screaming for a revive.

You don't get a cross hair and the marks don't show up for you, thats only for people still alive. But, if you happen to mark directly on an enemy it will give the red dorito instead of the gold dorito.

DICE has honestly kind of done a lovely job of explaining stuff in this game. Or people are kind of oblivious. idk. Couple of people over in the PC thread just recently learned about the Drilling’s rifle shot alt-fire, for example.

On a side note, watching those made me seriously question why I play BF5 when BF4 and BF1 are both so much better.

Probably gonna try to put together a montage this weekend of the poo poo I’ve done the past couple weeks. I’m normally pretty good at fly-swatting but lately in particular I’ve been going absolutely HAM against air vehicles.

I think in the long run if/when DICE fixes and fleshes out the game BFV will end up being one of the best games in the series but yeah right now I still find myself going back to BF4 here and there since it’s a well-polished game and has some gameplay elements that BFV will never have.

That last RPG shot was awesome, and the "WOOOOOOOAAAH" at the tail end seals the deal.

Xbros went back to BF4 a few weeks before V came out. It was fun but the people that are still playing 4 are absolute poopsockers and try hards.

Yeah ngl I guess I kinda fall into that category since I've put almost 1300 hours into the game since buying it back in January. But I stopped trying to win months ago and mostly just gently caress around trying to do cool/funny poo poo.

But there are some people on PS4 that are just on a level I can't even comprehend. The other day I got randomly squadded up with this Saudi dude who was just like casually insanely good with attack chopper TOWs. He was nailing jets left and right like it was fuckin child's play.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
Played a few rounds with the Ribbies and holy poo poo that thing owns. Now if only the game would ever actually give me useful amounts of company coins so I could properly play dressup.

I've only been playing since BF3 but this has been my experience with every Battlefield and why I keep buying them. Every Battlefield is one of the greatest shooters ever released... once it's had a year of patches, tweaks, and new content.

I didn’t like BF 3 or 4 at all. BF1 ended up becoming my favorite and BFV has already taken that top spot. I’m seriously so excited to see where this game is in a year, mainly with them committing to free dlc which is really what every mp game needs to do. Make that cosmetic money! Everyone wins.

I mean it works differently than bf1. It puts a marker on the location you spot, and tells you how many metres away it is. It will change to a red mark if you spot an enemy, but it won't follow them if they move.

It’s really awesome to put a marker down on ridge line with a couple snipers on it and see a billion tracer rounds converge on that one spot
