Half true. Old Xbone controllers need an adapter.

anyone ever use any of the Logitech Pro G headsets?
I've been curious about the way those sound with their simulated 7:1 surround since there's a dedicated Logitech Pro G audio setting built in to the BF1 audio settings

Logitech is awesome in general, but if you have anything that runs IOS ignore what the box says - it's not compatible.

I think we've verified that regular cell phone headphones/mic combinations work. Not sure which ConcreteRage was using but he came through extremely loud and I guess as clear as he ever is while spontaneously combusting in fury.

There are cheapish Trust headsets for 30€ that sound really good. I'm using on my ps4 a PDP titanfall themed headset and they sound amazing (I even tried PS4 golds to compare) and cost me 40€, plus they look good!

We had a good bunch of games there. On the second clip, I had to teabag the scout because I killed like four of them in that loving point with the Medic's 1906 but they kept popping like mushrooms, I was laughing too since that was probably the last thing he saw in the round, co-op bagging.

I think i saved the clip too, I'll edit it later to see it from my point of view.

I've already set up three medic loadouts, one called "Rush" with the fedorov, C96, medic crate, syringe and impact grenades. Another called "medium" with the 1916 factory, C96, medic box and syringe and one last called "long" but was used to do the 300 kills with 1906 factory wich, not being the best in class, fell in love with the low-recoil, high accuracy and fast firing rifle wich felt like the Garand. Is there anything that beats it on that low recoil and high accuracy for medium to long range? I tried using the general liu for the 6 mag but it can't land shots while spamming and the RSC1917 kicks a lot (but is amazing up close).

You up for some serious plastic surgery?
The Autoloading .35 factory and marksman are similar. They actually have the fastest time to kill in the entire game, if I'm remembering correctly, and don't have the drawback of having the 1906 bolt mechanism flipping up into your face when you're shooting, so you can usually shoot faster. They absolutely melt people, and are fun to use.

Yeah the autoloading 8 marksman is one of my best medic rifles. Doesn't quite have the impact at long ranges that the 1906 has but it is very nice in medium to close range. Always funny managing to out gun hellregiel users.

Guillermus
Dec 28, 2009



Yeah the bolt of the 1906 can be annoying but it has the most satisfying sound when you empty it. Reminds me of CoD1's Garand.

Laminator

The other option is the 1906 Sniper variant, which avoids the bolt issue. I use it with the scope set to the lowest setting and it's essentially like an ACOG.

I also really like the Cei-Reigotti, it's very low recoil and doesn't have a lot of horizontal spread, and you can hammer away on the trigger. It's 3 shot kill short range, 4 long range, but it shoots fast enough to not make it a huge deal. The factory variant also has a full auto setting if that's your thing. I think it's a really underrated gun.

Yeah I tend to prefer scoped variants of medic rifles. Makes it easier to get headshots plus you don't have to worry about muzzle smoke blocking your view. I've been enjoying the Mondragon Sniper for those reasons.

I spent a round last night trolling a spawncamper with smoke bombs after he sent me a message gloating about getting 3 headshots on me from his spawn. Then in the next round he switched to assault and I killed him with both the kolibri and spot flare. “Now I get why you’re afraid to leave the spawn”

He spent a half hour sending me eggplant emojis. I love this game.

This is regular stuff for you kids in every match, but I just had two back to back games of War Pigeons where I loving dominated. I am bad at shooters, but in the edited highlights of the first one above I got three tasty streaks and was the MVP who loving crushed the leaderboards.

This never happens to me, so I'm going to bask in this, my moment of brief competence.

Nivelle Nights is getting rolled into the base game this month, which is excellent news. I feel like they should just have done that at the start rather than making it a French DLC map, but having an extra map in the vanilla rotation is good and cool and I'm not going to tut about it. Hopefully they'll continue this going forward. Good choice too. Puts French soldiers into the base game, it's a night map, and it's proper trench warfare themed. I can see this fitting into vanilla very nicely.

Loving that almost 200 hours in I'm still getting little moments that I never experienced before. The latest was doing the desert Operation, and spawning into a torpedo boat on Fao. Driver knew what he was doing, drove us up the coastline and using that bow cannon I murdered about 12 Turkish defenders in a minute because they were so focused on the ground pounders coming at their front. Very nice stuff indeed.

War Pigeons which I only dabbled with in the past to unlock codex entries and ribbons has fast become one of my favourite modes in shooters. Very fluid, lots of movement, requirement to work well as a team making up tactics on the fly. It's a football match with guns almost. Doesn't feel as artificially gamey as some other small map modes, capturing points just to abandon them and run off to get others. For MY IMMERSION purposes it satisfies for gameplay and verisimilitude.

Oh and big thanks to that goon who posted a vid about going out of bounds to murder dudes, you were inspirational. Galloping a horse into the opposing team's area to impale unsuspecting snipers who think they are safe is gold. You have blessed me with this idea.

add all previous-expansion maps to the base game as soon as the new one releases, problem solved but DICE has profit projections to meet this quarter

This is great, it's clear that the bad mans are just not paying any attention? Those limpets were so nonchalant. Pubbies all "Well the point says there's at least one person here, better just stay where I'm at and not try to do anything."

For some reason limpets don't turn any alarm in their brain. I'm getting a lot of kills where I'm hiding with 10hp left and they're about to come into my room, I throw one outand yet they keep coming and eating it.

New update today. Full notes here.

Here are the highlights to me:
  • Nivellle Nights available to all players.
  • Players are now able to track all five active Medals at the same time.
  • Fixed an issue that caused in-game player icons to become transparent.
  • If resupplied, the Scout class now has the ability to place a second tripwire of each type (i.e. gas, incendiary, bomb HE), without cancelling the first.
  • Adjusted the Red Tide Operation layout in Volga River, providing more options of approach for attackers.
  • Improved Conquest layout, spawns, and capture zones on Brusilov Keep for better balance.
  • When deploying on a squadmate and the squadmate dies while the camera is transitioning, the deploy will now be cancelled and player will return to deploy screen.
  • When deploying directly into gas the gasmask will now automatically activate.
  • When deploying directly into the air the parachute will now automatically activate.

The icon transparency issue was so annoying, so I'm glad it is fixed.
