My PS4 is hooked up to my wireless and as a result, I constantly get the little latency and low FPS icons. Game usually plays fine though. Should I run an ethernet cable into my basement or am I good?

PS4s wireless kind of sucks, especially on the earlier models. If you can have ethernet, do it.

I'd have to drill a hole through my floor and run a really long cable, but it's doable. Just don't know if it's necessary.

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.

Honestly, I don't mind it. It makes me realize how terrifying snipers must have been in real life, knowing they could be anywhere and any moment your brains could be splattered everywhere.

Also, I think I'm the only one that likes Suez as it is. Taking C & B and then just launching mortars into A is fantastic. So many multikills.

I'm trying for the TDM medal... The last segment - 20 kills in one round? :negative:
I'm getting top 3 on the scoreboard consistently, but with like 10 kills only! One round I got 14.

I was going for that last week, like six rounds of conquest in a row I had 19. Couldn't get that last one. Then on Ballroom Blitz, I got 21, but it didn't load the results screen and never counted it. I finally got it a couple of hours later.

I would literally get the 19th kill when we had 700 tickets, then get nothing the rest of the game. I was getting kinda pissed.

The Melee medal is impossible.

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.

Blunt weapons are slower, that's all.

I was laughing pretty hard a couple of days ago when I was in the same squad as somebody in platoon B1G, and they were right above me in the squad list.

Hellriegel is for fratty gently caress boys.

I've had it unlocked for weeks and have maybe 5 kills because I don't want to be associated with people who play with the most op weapon.

It's been 5 patches and they still haven't touched the hellriegel. But they've definitely nerfed grenades, something that has always been under-powered in BF games.

I guess that's what we get when they take their cues from Reddit shitlords.

They actually made the hellriegel better. It was originally 60/60 and you'd run out of ammo really quickly with it. It's now 60/120. It's ludicrous and I use it all the loving time.

I was playing a round of Operations at St Quentin Scar yesterday morning. I got something like 30,000 points after all the ribbons and stuff.

We won, so there was a x2.5 multiplier.
I used an XP bonus, so x2 from that
it was a double XP weekend, so x2 from that

I had over a half million points, and levelled up once and made it more than halfway to the next level.

I did nothing something - with Operations now loading into a new round, don't pause during that game. There's a glitch where instead of going to the pause menu, it loads the previous round's end of round screen, and the only way out is either waiting for the round to finish or quitting to the main menu. It sucks.

I waved the Butt flag proudly last night on St Quentin Scar. Howitzer Light Tank is good, especially for taking out snipers in those pesky windmills. And the rest of the windmill :v:

There was a group of people that insisted on trying to snipe into the cathedral at B, a whole nest of them, and I just kept going over there and driving over them. Was good fun, that.

I loaded into a game of operations defending on Galacia last night. That map is hard to play on and in my short time playing I think I went 1-10. I loved it.

Then we went to Red Tide and oh man, were we ever a red tide. Blew through Volga River on our first attack and made it to the last set of capture points on Tsaritsyn before we had to use our second attack. It was incredible.[/b]

e: oh and soissons was just amazing on frontlines before they added the time limits, I once had a three hour back and forth battle there that saw both sides down to one telegraph. Hands down the best round of BF1 I've ever played.

Yeah, I haven't played frontlines since they added the time limit. Soissons was incredible. I think I went four hours once. The whole map looked like the lunar surface.
