There is a bug in the beta that only applies class rank ups for your first round on a server. Switch to a new server after each match to unlock kit upgrades.

This looks visually on par with Battlefront.

Is it the streams I'm watching or is this much better looking that Bf4 / Hardline?

Much better. At least on par with Battlefront. The sandstorm is really something else.

I'm trying to make a go of the LMGs but that initial 2-4 rounds just missing for no reason and the high TTK is putting a damper on them for me.

What does this even mean

Class rank up are bugged. Only the first round you play on a server will count towards ranking up your class. Change servers each round until you unlock gear for each class.

Support gets their grenade back almost instantly after throwing down an ammo pack and there is no delay in throwing packs until the third or fourth. Probably a glitch but it's fun tossing four incendiaries into a building.

The heavy tank moves a bit fast and the canister shot on the light tank needs a range nerf.

Support's infini-grenade trick is great for raining down death from above at Freddie or taking on a heavy tank all by your lonesome, but its a shame their primary weapons are poo poo.

The MG15 N.A. Suppressive is good once you get using the bipod down, and the bipod works really well compared to BF4.

But you really have to play mid range and post up with some cover. It feels like a genuine support roll compared to running and gunning with an MG4 or M249.

Guys, help.

I can't figure out if I should get the early enlister edition.

I've been burned on all the other Battlefield and Battlefront dlc but I can't figure out if this will be better.

It seems like they've learned their lesson after Battlefront.

Isn't it just some skins and a few days of early access?

Edit: and five battle packs.

The level 10 support gun isn't really worth it. It's a slower BAR with an extra six rounds. I think support is really the class that needs something to perk it up. Right now the mortar is about the only reason to run it.

In BF4 shotguns had random pellet spread across the point of aim so even if you had the target dead center the majority of pellets could be to the left or right missing a one hit kill. Feels like the same thing here.

Ugh, the main thread told me the BAR was a good gun. Maybe I bought the wrong one. But the BAR trench is hot garbage. Really intrusive ironsights, a mass of bullet spread, and with only 20 bullets good luck killing both those dudes you are shooting at (and missing). I will try the telescopic, one day, but for now I feel like I wasted 200 warbonds. Back to the Benet Mercie which outclasses it at every range and in every situation.

I was much happier with the automatic 8.25 extended I bought for my medic. That's a solid gun. 20 shots, fast reload, and a lovely tinny sound to the bolt. This is a gun I can get behind.

The BAR is a lot more user friendly with the AA sights but it still feels like an Assault weapon that got misfiled.

I spawned under a tank. On a point we controlled. Literally underneath it, in a crater, and instantly died to a road kill.

Anyone else ever get the impression that everyone else's gun is way more powerful than the gun you've got? Like, bad mans are all "that sure is a nice LMG you're unloading into my chest, but check this out: *flicks cigarette in your face*" *dies*

The machine guns kind of suck compared to everything else. The BAR can hold it's own up close but for the most part the other guns shoot faster, more accurately (from the first shot), have better damage models, and often have ammo capacity that is just as good. Flinch appears non existent and suppression is a joke so you're not really throwing the other guys aim off. There isn't any range or specific condition where you'd be better served with a machine gun.

any suggestions on how to get 20 kills in team deathmatch

If you end up on Amien the SMG sentry kit spawns in a house in the alley in front of where Apples is in conquest. Or just an SMG in general. Shotguns still seem a little inconsistent to me. BAR if you want to play support. 8.5 extended for medic.

Don't be the guy who snipes in TDM.

I still have the medals from last week with progress saved. Does everyone get the same five each week or is it random?

My overall K/D has stayed exactly at 2 for at least a dozen matches. EXACTLY two kills for each death, no matter how good or bad I do. The total numbers of kills and deaths listed go up but always at the same proportion.

edit: ^ how do you have time to come up with that but leave out a menu to change your load out outside of a match?

Nearly 20 years of shooting dudes on the computer and this game has far and away the worst spawns I have ever seen, specific examples and in general.

On the other hand it's the first game I've ever enjoyed sniping in so that's cool. Also killed a horse rider with a rocket gun and blew up the same bomber crew with the artillery truck twice in the same match.

I hate the usual snipers as much as the next decent, god-fearing American. Camping a rooftop like a coward is bad. Pushing up along Suez with an iron-sights SMLE mk iii and a C93 is awesome. I actually feel like the edge-camping useless coward style of sniping has been less prevalent in this game so far.
