I added myself to the bone krew. I have mostly been playing scout but I don't stand on the edge of the map like a dipshit. Everyone seems to recommend the Mars pistol for scout but honestly the frommer stop owns so hard. It's about 6 kills shy of my most used weapon Gamer tag is Baconfeet

I finally unlocked the martini henry and it almost feels like cheating. If you're accurate enough on the first shot it's either a one hit kill or you only need to land one pistol shot which is perfect for the frommer stop due to the RoF. Only took 3 conquest rounds to get a service star for the martini

Popeadactyl posted:The martini henry is incredible. I have almost 700 kills with it. I feel like if you're using a scope and staying prone on this game with the Scout class then you are doing it wrong. Absolutely agree. Popping flares and staying relatively close quarters is so much more satisfying than camping a ridge and hoping to land a long shot. I don't even worry if I see scope glare from some wookie camping because there's no way they'll land a shot.

Uhhh Amiens is not like operation locker at all. Amiens has so many different ways around choke points that you never need to go near them. Argonne is much closer to what you're talking about. Amiens is for sure the best map

I initially didn't like the hellreigel but I just had an op on St Quentin scar and went 88 and 28 before we finally lost. Got them down to their last battalion but they pushed through to amiens and rolled us there. It's almost unfair how well the hellreigel does in mid range engagements

I've decided to play support recently to get to rank 10 and it's probably my best class. Only gun I've clicked with is the benet mercie storm which is have 600+ kills with. My SPM is by far the highest with support. 650 vs my next highest which is assault at 560. For a class everyone seems to poo poo on I'm doing quite well with it. I also recently have found the joy of artillery trucks. A dumb person on the other team left a full health arty truck sitting there so I took it and kept it the rest of the game. It's hilariously fun to poo poo on people with. This is coming from someone who never fucks with vehicles

I know people didn't seem to like the Huot but after the patch it seems like a good mid to short range LMG. The magazine is only 26 rounds which is fairly low but it's easier to get 2 kills before having to reload compared to the BAR. It feels like a laser gun with how accurate it is with almost no recoil. Ended up going 30-11 on empires edge with it

I'm rank 66 and rank 10 on all but medic. Medic is just awful and slow. I think I'm rank 7 and just don't want to play it anymore. I hate all the guns and pubbies mash A so I can't revive them. I'd rather play support

Lawnie posted:Keep them alive so they don't die and respawn, then. If you're playing a medic and not almost constantly throwing out med packs, you're doing it wrong. Oh I absolutely do. When I play medic or support I'm throwing med packs and ammo packs like I'm santa. But asking one person to keep a team of pubbies alive is an impossible task.

D-Pad posted:Play Argonne Forest and camp out in the bunker at B. It is a meatgrinder and you can get a shitload of medic points every match just from having a crate out and reviving everyone who dies. I actually got from rank 7 to 10 in about 4 games tonight. It's easy when you're averaging 25k points per game. I don't like camping anywhere though. I run objective to objective capping stuff over and over.

I've now played enough to know my exact route to and from each objective in conquest, always away from the flow of battle so I can cap uncontested flags. Recently played a Ballroom blitz where I got 25k points and 20 flag caps. We lost of course but one person can only do so much. Doing this has increased my SPM with support from about 650 to 850 or so.

Laminator posted:these matches are crazy, there's no order or flow to anything and there's just dudes walking around, grouping together in random spots, getting bayonet charged out of no where multiple times... good times Were you playing ops? Because yeah it's total chaos and terrible. Conquest has a definite flow and much easier to digest than the madness of 64p ops. Ops is great for impressing people with how crazy the game can be but once you actually want to play conquest is the way to go

Finger Prince posted:At first I didn't like it, but I've been playing a lot of support lately chasing a medal and leveling up, and it's grown on me. You're right, once you get a feel for the trajectory, it's really intuitive (and I think a bit forgiving if you have an actual target). It's very useful for when you're suppressing the gently caress out of some fool and he ducks behind cover. Lob a crossbow his way and he's done. It would be sweet if you could equip both HE and frag on the same build, because HE is useful for bringing down sniper nests. I haven't really used the HE xbow but if taking down buildings is your game limpets are the way to go. Just wish you could toss them more than 3 feet. Honestly I would like an impact grenade xbow just to be able to use it more aggressively.

BlindSite posted:Played for about 4 hours yesterday after getting this for xmas. Played around with Scout a whole bunch. The SMLE is decent but has always felt kinda inconsistent to me. My favorite short to mid range rifle is the m95. It doesn't have a sweet spot but it has a straight bolt so it can fire relatively quickly for a bolt action. The m95 carbine is the rifle that got me to scout rank 10.

Why bother? Is it a medal or something? Honestly you could have gotten way more xp than the medal gives if you just play normally. I've done one medal and it was because the game just bugged out and chose it for me. Medals suck and aren't worth the tiny amount of xp they give

Finally made it to rank 80. I've never made it to such a high rank in a battlefield game. The amount of score needed to rank up now is absurd, which is the whole point I guess. I am growing somewhat tired of some of the maps at this point. If I ever see Sinai desert again I might puke. Amiens and ballroom blitz are still fantastic though. The wait for new dlc in March is going to be intolerable

Welp just had the most one-sided game I've ever seen. Conquest on Ballroom blitz and we won 1000-237. Game ended in 13 minutes and we were basically spawn killing them the entire time. I ended up going 17-3 so I can't complain but I almost feel bad for the other team

Snak posted:How the gently caress do you guys cope with constantly being spawnkilled?! It's so loving frustrating. "Oh I spawned on top of an anti-tank grenade" "oh i spawned in front of a window and got immediately headshotted by a sniper" "oh, I spawned prone, but an enemy is standing over me with an smg" Which game mode? Are you spawning on squad mates? I almost never get spawn killed. Maybe don't spawn on your squad because they're probably doing something stupid.

I've ditched limpets completely for the frag crossbow. Sometimes I do miss being able to damage vehicles or blow up buildings, but you can only toss limpets like 3 feet. If there was a limpet launcher I'd change back

Then, usually, that gets scrapped. I was waiting for the giant knife puzzle pieces but I got the club a few days back and I like it so now I don't really care about the packs. I'm fairly certain they give you just enough warbonds to buy everything. I'm not pilot/tanker rank 10 and I don't have all the vehicle combos but if you unlock all of that you should have no warbonds left

SMLE infantry and m95 infantry and my go tos. Smle because you can shoot 10 times before reloading and it's good mid range and the m95 because you don't have to stop adsing to rechamber a round so you can shoot a follow up shot incredibly quickly

The 95 marksman is the only scoped rifle that lets you stay ADS while working the bolt, but the 95 doesn't have a sweet spot. Oh duh I'm dumb. Either way I generally don't stay ADSed between shots.

I recall it being sometime in February with the French dlc following up in March. I'm looking forward to some weapon balancing in the next patch. Mostly because I read an AMA on reddit from a DICE weapon balance guy who said they're buffing the Martini Henry. Not to launch madness but somewhere in between. It's my favorite weapon and it needs to pack more of a punch to make up for its numerous downsides. Live At Five! fucked around with this message at 08:25 on Jan 19, 2017 |
