I haven't even considered playing campaign and honestly I think I'm a better man for it.

I just figured it would be irresponsible to jump into multiplayer without knowing any of the controls. I've never played a BF game on console, and the last BF game I played was BF2.

The intro of the campaign is actually really cool.

That is true. You'd be risking innocent lives. Very noble of you.

I would like a tutorial for the game.

I mean, gently caress, I basically got called a moron as soon as I expressed confusion about the controls in this thread, so...

Unfortunately this game doesn't have a multiplayer tutorial. Just like plenty of others. I hope we can move past this, together.

Went to play for the first time today on Xbone, and the game crashes anytime I finish loading a map. It's crashed about 10 straight times now without being able to enter a single game. Any ideas?

So I still can't play since the patch (Xbone). No matter what gametype I try, as soon as the loading screen is finished, right as I'm entering the game, I crash to the dashboard. This sucks and I don't know what to do.

Game just crashes whenever I join a server on xbone :( Probably because of the weird situation where I am using a buddy's main console, he owns digital, I have EA Access trial, and it's conflicting somehow? Sometimes the 10 hour warning pops up when I start the game, other times it does not.

Poop.

Same thing has been happening to me since the patch. Last night I uninstalled and reinstalled, but I haven't had a chance to see if that fixed it yet. I'm using a disc, but I'm still getting that EA Trial popup from time to time.

Well that was a fun round for me and my friends :haw:



Had a similar game last night where me and two other friends all got arty trucks at the same time. Turns out 3 artillery trucks working together is literally unstoppable. I went 51-6 and my two friends weren't far behind.

yeah, but I mean when it pops up and says "R1 to throw a ammo" and I hit it, and nothing happens, so I hit it again. Then I just aim at a stopped ally for 5 seconds, and the promp re-appears and then I can do it. It seems a lot like it has a cooldown, just like spotting. Which is extra frustrating when I can't trust the popup at all since it doesn't disappear right away.

Why wouldn't you just hit left or right on the dpad (whichever you assigned your ammo bag/crate to)?

I just did the close quarters one, which I thought would be impossible.

10 kills with sidearms (a pain int he rear end)
20 kills with SMGs (not too bad but I rarely use it so I had to really intentionally do this one)
20 kills with shotguns (easy)
5 kills with bladed melee weapons (easier than I thought)
5 kills with blunt melee weapons (harder but I did it)

Glad I don't have to do it again, I'll tell you that

This one took me like 2 or 3 hours. None of this is particularly difficult at all. Not sure why you think there's a difference in difficulty between bladed and blunt melee weapons? It's basically just: Sneak up behind enemies, stab them from behind / club them from behind. Shotguns and SMG's you can get in a single game without too much trouble.

Set my new killstreak high with 39 kills to start off a game in the Arty Truck :)

I heard a lot of people complaining about the suppression assist challenge earlier in the thread. Saying things like "If you hit the enemy, it counts as a kill assist, not a suppression assist," and, "if someone in your squad kills them it counts as a squad suppression assist, not a suppression assist."

Did they change something, because I was doing this challenge yesterday and constantly got kill assist, suppression assist, squad suppression assist, etc messages all on the same enemy. It's not just one or the other. It happened at least 5 times in an hour or so yesterday alone.

I am tryiing to teach myself the use of the arty truck, but withouth much luck. Is absurd OP on mount grappa austrian side, but I don't get it anywhere else. I am addicted to vehicles with cheap autorepair powers.

The arty truck has cheap autorepair powers though? Just hit left on the Dpad for an instant 30 something point repair. Plus it's quick as hell so it's easy to retreat if you need further repair.

How do people not realize that Suez and Argonne are a rush to capture C at the start? The number of times I'm the only one there while 30 of my teammates are standing at our rear point is mind boggling.

Expecting people to pass up free capture points is aiming a little too high.

I've gotten 100+ kills with 15 different weapons now!

My goal is to get 100 kills with every weapon/vehicle in the game.

I was in the arty truck. The game was only halfway over when I took the picture. I had the most flag captures and defends, and we won the game by a landslide.

If you have an xbox elite with the hybrid SSD drive, you load into the map first every time and have your choice of vehicles to choose from :smugdog:

I have a release day Xbox One and as long as I press start right as the option becomes available in the post-game screen I always get my choice of vehicles.

Shoot near, but do not hit, someone your teammates then kill. Used to not count if your squadmates killed them (because a "Squad Suppression Assist" is different than a "Suppression Assist") but I believe they fixed that.

You can definitely hit them. Just don't kill them. You can get both a kill assist and a suppression assist on the same enemy.

My arty trucking was suffering because the up on my d pad broke so I was having problems zooming in for maximum pubbie tears. Bought a new one and it feels so good to be a fully operational poo poo lord :henget:

I keep getting glitches where loading into a map means the UI overlays all work, but the game itself is a glitchy flashing pixel garbage mess. But everything works. I can load into the game, run around, shoot my gun and die. But the whole world, aside from the HUD and conquest markers, never loads and is just black pixel flashing hell.

Weird.

Yea you just have to quit to the dashboard and restart battlefield. It's super annoying. I'm pretty sure it happens to everyone from time to time.

Medic was by far my fastest leveling class. Assault was second, and scout third. I just never play support so who knows if I will ever get that to 10.

When you unlock the level 10 class pistols, are they unlocked on every class? There's a .gif above of someone using the Kolibri on the medic class.
