I'm probably gonna play this all day. (ps4) If we need an irc, maybe we can use the usual goon irc synirc.net and channel #ps4goons I'll try to hang out there too. Let's get some serious Battlefield on.

Playing Rush with dope ghoti last night reminded me why I'm not that fond of that game mode. The smaller game size means its easier for coordinated squads to stunt all over your team. And only two objectives at a time. At least in normal conquest, you can have your own small battles that feel fair with small groups at flags at the outside parts of the map. You can lose in this game mode and still have lots of fun and earn lots of points. Rush however feels like it has a fine line where assuming you're not winning then either you're losing slowly which can still be fine or you just lose quickly as you never get through phase 1 and the entire enemy team blows up every objective on the map in 12 minutes. Maybe we just had some bad streaks but I haven't been crazy about rush since the good days of bad company 2.

Snak posted:Yeah, neither of the big fuckoff guns would have shot him... Unless you're a headshots and sniping master, when you're a scout take that experimental gun. It's like any of the medic carbines except you have like a 42 round clip and can easily kill 3 or 4 dudes without reloading. Also its glitchy and can switch to K bullets and back instantly.

Snak posted:What are K bullets? K bullets are anti armor rounds. The ultimate scout loadout I like is experimental gun that has iron scope so it's basically like a carbine. Spot flare because it's easy points and good for your team and kind of a wall hack for this game. Then I take the K bullets so I can use them on weak or retreating tanks and in a pinch, they can work like regular sniper rounds. I prefer the heavy melee weapons but your melee weapon is whatever you prefer. I don't like to snipe either but I've gotten to scout rank 8 from rank 2 in less than two weeks just by playing this loadout.

Chemmy posted:Remember that any damage stops a vehicle from self repairing. K bullets biggest strength is keeping vehicles from fixing themselves while your assaults respawn, resupply or flank. Yup k bullets are arguably the most useful a scout can be aside from flare gun. The ability to make a tank back off is very loving valuable as they'll just panic and try to run away. Lets your team regroup and hopefully they're more aware of a tank being out there. Or if you see a tank take a couple of bad explosions, you can finish it off with K bullets.

That's me, I'm the one spreading the word about experimental scout gun. It's so good and redeems the scout class completely. I rarely feel like I lose a fight because my weapons not strong enough and more because the enemy got the drop on me. It's not op because it'll still lose a lot of one on one even ground fights. But wait I have spot flares! You shouldn't allow the enemy to get the drop on you. Great but what about heavy armor or sentry classes? You bug the gently caress out and use your K bullets from a smart distance or try to find a place to ambush a heavy guy and bayonet the heck out of him. The scout class really can be a little bit of everything) except a medic) as long as you don't play it like a sniper. When you're using k bullets aim for the treads. If you can disable the track, throw a flame nade at the tank.

winter.mute posted:i've been thinking about doing that that Samsung makes good ones. I do warn you please don't do this unless you have a lot more money than sense. Just buy a 2tb sshd for less than a third of a price of the same size ssd. The speed increase on it will give you the advantage over 90 percent of players. I played Bf1 before with a sshd and I still got to vehicles first on a fresh map load. Ssd is faster but not as fast as you think it'd be, even on a pro.

There's a 2TB available in the slim form factor for ps4s for only like $120 or so. Do not go down the SSD route unless you love and are insane about your PS4.

Ol Standard Retard posted:Hey good playin with y'all, I can't believe that the four of us were consistently in the top ten while I felt like I was turning in just the loving worst performances. That's what having a real squad leader issuing effective commands (ie me) does wonders for your score. Basically, as long as you play in a good squad, we help each other be a little bit better, as well as we get free squad points all the loving time, especially from orders. Nobody else is getting good squad points, that alone makes your score so much higher than other people. Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Dec 3, 2016 |

Dinosaurs! posted:If I want to play a specific map, is there a good way to make sure I'm joining a server that just started the round? Right now I'm just filtering by region, map, and 1-10 open slots and almost always end up in a server where the score is in the 800s. My best tip is to learn the map rotation and play the map before. Or look for a server with that map 24/7, there's got to be custom servers by now.

Parkingtigers posted:Ooooo, nice. That's the village from the first War Story, possibly reshuffled a bit. My guess is the crashed zep is along the ridge between the sneaky sneaky stealth section, and the big tank battle at the railyard. If you, for some reason, haven't played the single-player, then now is the time to do so to get the lay of the land. Yeah when I played that chapter , I was thinking this is a rather huge set piece that should be incorporated into a multiplayer map. That one Australian story where you're a runner in the village could make a great map as well just would need to be expanded.

Finger Prince posted:Destroy 3 vehicles with k bullets fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. How did you guys do it again? I think someone said soften up an AA with explosives then wait for someone to use it? Do the vehicles have to be occupied? They just have to be occupied by an enemy in the last minute. So yeah if they get on an AA, but they die to another sniper, if you casn kill that AA in the next 45 seconds or so, it still counts as a vehicle destroyed. Also, god drat we destroy in a squad. Shotout to mellow, backup, some guy who's name has something about poop in it? We dominate, and it's so amazing how much points we get with an effective squad leader (ie, me)

Finger Prince you're using k bullets on the experimental the loving wrong way. Switch to secondary. Switch to K bullets. Takes one entire second. For loving serious the experimental has the fastest K bullet because it appears to be glitched that if you switch to K bullets from your other gadget or pistol, you don't reload or rebuild the gun. It's instantly ready. You can just press secondary then k bullet switch and you have it ready. loving faster than any other sniper rifle. Experimental owns. Any scout who never uses it is a trash scout. Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 17:55 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Heavy tank buff? gently caress yes, anyone who plays with me knows I rush and always get a heavy tank. Also good to hear my support favorite the mercie storm will be a little bit better and I can handle more recoil on the experimental scout if it means better accuracy. I should check to see if the fixed the K bullet glitch on the experimental.

The Merry Marauder posted:Heavy tank nerf, and the Experimental is better across the board, with hipfire, recoil, and accuracy buffs. The notes make it look like it has increased recoil, meaning more kickback. Also the list from above specifically says ' -slight Heavy tank buff / Landship buffs' Did they write it wrong? I always thought the landship could use a buff anyway. Edit: detailed notes show a nerf on emergency repair for both heavy and landship. That's not going to be major enough. Anything else I missed? Landships have same amount of armor as a heavy tank now plus any team mate can spawn in it now. Ineffiable fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Dec 12, 2016 |

The Merry Marauder posted:Yeah, that's a redditor reading comprehension issue, I assume. The only specific hit to the heavy I saw was making the emergency repair restore 20 instead of 30, which isn't trivial, but giving the landship the same armor as the heavy as well as specific buffs (better anti-armor abilities from frontal guns, more health restored on track repair, more seats on some variants, etc), hurts the heavy as an alternative to the landship. Yeah I edited my post. Landship is now an interesting alternative and I welcome it. Emergency repair being nerfed is the only thing and it doesn't matter as long as you're smart about backing off and using the manual repair. I bet they didn't fix the glitch that manual repairs are the only ones that stop the tank being on fire. Really its not so much a nerf as it feels like a balancing. Probably is better this way. Can't wait to see how good the experimental is tomorrow, it's almost the only gun I use as a scout.

Parkingtigers posted:Went 28-10 on St. Quentin Scar with the arty truck. The hype is real. Just sit back on a hill looking down into the village and blow up all the mans. Experimental is all about going in close and getting the jump on someone. It fires extremely quick, and apparently it's just gonna get more accurate tomorrow. Combine it with scout flares so you can get in close, and get an idea of where the enemy is. Works really well in urban settings. Like if you play on Sinai, use a regulaer sniper for outside, but if you're going to stay inside the city, experimental is the way to go. If you snipe using it, you're gonna have a bad time, or use k bullets which you only get 6 bullets of. played with some goons tonight, was a lot of fun. The highlight was empire's edge where we had almost the entire squad driving either a heavy tank or arty truck. We were coordinated as gently caress then. My sad storuy of the night is being killed by someone who has 57 medals in the mondragon. Game hasn't been out two months and this dude has 6k kills with one weapon?

It's no problem poop, we all have real life stuff that comes out. It was hilarious rolling up as your backup and taking out those two guys that were about to pin you down. I'm still a bit iffy on Giants shadow. I think it'll be all about how you play it. It's not a winner of a map so far. It feels a bit more balanced when the fog rolls in and anyone can charge the center. I do agree tank leading charges will be more critical on this map. Call me crazy but were there not as many cars on this map compared to a map like Sinai?

Do you think you can score some sweet kills by dropping bombs on your way? Pubbies always gonna pub. I can't believe how stupid some of them play sometimes. If you want a game where you literally just snipe, why not play sniper elite. Maybe it's because they know in Battlefield some of us are too busy ptfo and they can get some easy kills off that.

I wouldn't mind if they tried out an operation mode where the first two phases is mostly bombers and fighters. You either spawn as a bomber and try to survive to take out an objective or you spawn as a gunner and defend your bomber from fighters. After the objective is taken then it switches to a ground assault.
