I don’t mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel. But I am, so that’s how it comes out.
Ground floor of this Battlefield thread. OP, where do I sign up for the goon leaderboards and metatags?

The map is pretty bad tbh.

This map is pitiful. I hope for their sake it's the worst one in the game. But if so then why spotlight it for a first impression? That would be like advertising BF3 with a vehicleless Rush beta on Operation Mètro…

The phonetics are all listed in text on the squad screen, in case you're unclear on them. Hope this helps.

Wait is that possible? Battlelog doesn't seem ready for BF platoons yet

He's talking about a dumb PlayStation thing that has nothing to do with EA or DICE.

Oh, did I? My bad. Please explain the hilarious joke intended by this post:

Because it sure looks like a PS4 guy said "has anybody created a Community" and you were confused, thinking that he meant, "has anybody created a Platoon".

Edit: can you break down our play and what we did wrong? Bone Krew always looking to improve.

We wanna be in top shape once this free open beta is over and the real game comes out.

He's not commenting on your game play. He's saying you are tedious, obnoxious, and unfun people to be around. Hope this helps.

I'm trying to get the squad medal, and one of the things is squad suppression assist. I'm using the Extra Supression machine gun, getting Squad Suppression assist on the screen, and yet it's not counting towards the medal.

Also what happened to assignments?

You have to do the stages in order. Because reasons. It's pretty dumb; basically just artificially inflates medal completion time. And that is the assignment system for this game.

Yeah, on Xbox you press Y to quit after a match, but the option goes away after about 10 seconds. A great design choice.

Oh, you wanted to look at the final scoreboard and see if you got a battlesnack drop before you quit out? Well gently caress you then, punk.

My loadout still keeps resetting, though.

Yeah, it would. The standard :dice: time for patching that bug is about 6-8 weeks. And then add another couple weeks onto that before you can quit a server from the postgame stats screen.

Well drat I was playing Battle Wookiee all last night (the spotting flare is SO GOOD) and I was gonna ask what the best gun is for it since I was just using the scope-less version of the starter gun the whole time. I'll give that a shot.

Seriously though, spotting flare + bayonet charge is the most hilarious poo poo. Running right into someone as they round a corner never gets old

This scout gun he's talking about sounds an awful lot like a certain very special sniper weapon from Battlefield past. And when I think VSS, one name comes clearly to mind. Triangular Duck.

Was it ever possible to see the list of gamertags whose dogtags you've taken in previous battlefield games or am I making poo poo up?

Yes. I created a very popular feature around that data during BC2/BF3, ranking goons by how many unique goons they had tactically hugged. CJ "Hey, buddy!" Seedge was the undisputed king of that leaderboard. Then in BF4 it was really incomplete and unreliable. Dominik "1ApRiL" Herbst's P-Stats Network have not yet launched their bf1stats.com site, but I'll have a close eye on their API page. No promises, but I still have all the code to battlefieldgoons.com in an AWS AMI.

The assault guns aren't great and the assault vehicle explosives aren't effective enough to bother being one all the time.

They somehow managed to make Assault the worst class. In this Battlefield game. Assault, the class that usually acts as essentially the default. It's fairly remarkable.
