Speaking of limpets, I've been having a lot of fun recently tossing them into enemy-held buildings and racking up kills off the debris. If you haven't tried this as Support, you should. Limpets will basically demolish any small building in one stroke.

Is there any good guide about how to customize BF1's ui? Like the percentages of opacity of icons and so. I didn't tweak them much in BF4 but sometimes I can't tell at range if someone is an enemy because the icons blend too much.
Unfortunately I think the opacity of soldier icons at a distance is fixed, compliments of the latest patch. I can kinda-sorta get why they'd want to do that for enemies but there's no loving reason to make your allies invisible at range.

Lancing continues to own though. Today we take "turning the enemy against themselves" to a whole new level!

It's getting about that time again so I looked up info for the next expansion.



Highlights:
  • Turning Tides has been cut into halves and we'll get two maps in December and two more in January. As of now only the first two maps have an associated Operation.
  • 6 new guns: M1917 Trench Carbine, Maschinenpistole M1912/P.16, Farquhar-Hill, M1917 MG, Carcano M91 Carbine, and Type 38 Arisaka. 2 new melee weapons too but I'm the only one who actually cares about that poo poo
  • The expansion's new elite class is the Infiltrator, which seems to have higher running speed and can supposedly "hide in plain sight," but we all know everyone will figure out the tell within 48 hours
  • 2 new vehicles: A brand new murderboat and a mini blimp!

So uh, important note! The Infiltrator's mortar marker flare does not travel like a regular flare. I tried firing one into an enemy-held point about 100m away and it landed ten feet in front of me. I then proceeded to get wasted by my own mortar strike. :downs:

Their grenade launcher is pretty fun, but I think it'll take practice to get used to.

The zoom in is definitely faster which is nice. I keep reading that you can actually start moving during the zoom in period but I can't tell if that's true or not.
DICE being :dice: they still managed to gently caress this up somehow. If you spawn on a horse it zooms in faster than it used to, but you can't move until the old-zoom amount of time has passed.

As much fun as lance charges are, I'm finding that the lance is pretty drat versatile with its normal attack. There's a fair bit of aim assist that the sword doesn't have.

You must be using a different Avtomat than me, because I can't hit poo poo with it at range. No disagreement about its close-range ability though.

https://i.imgur.com/S9ECPEb.gifv

The best part about this is that horses tend to automatically jump before it looks like you're in melee range, so nobody expects this to actually work, which means enemy cavs will happily let you charge right at them. If you stab right before the jump, the attack still technically goes through and deals damage even during the jump animation. Get the timing down right and you too can unhorse enemy riders like knights of olde :black101:

I think the C4 jihad jeeps did a lot to keep the tanklords under control. If dynamite stuck to vehicles it would change the game for the better.
A-loving-men to this. Dynamite is so useless against vehicles it's insane. Anyone even slightly paying attention (and even 75% of drivers who aren't) will just drive away. It loving owns on maps like Fort de Vaux to kill infantry around corners, though. Love playing Assault on that map.

But yeah, jihad jeeps need to make a comeback. That would also require the other change that needs to happen in the new BF, allowing players to spawn in transport vehicles from the map again.

The lance has made the cavalry sword so goddamn worthless in comparison. I'm always sad when I steal a horse and the owner had a sword equipped.

EDIT: Also, pro-tip, I'm not sure when this was changed, but if you drop a medkit at a full gallop now, you'll automatically pick it up yourself... and it heals the horse too. :madmax:

I want a new modern Battlefield because modern tech means more ways to kill snipers. UCAVs, choppers, spawn beacons that drop you on their head, BF4 was full of delicious sniper-killing methods. I don't even think snipers are OP and need counters or whatever, I just love killing snipers.

I am unreasonably excited about the "exotic" scout archetype that DICE mentioned in the BFV reveal, the one that is meant to be behind enemy lines and carries a loving garrotte as a gadget. If that gives me silent melee takedowns like it sounds like it should, I'm gonna be choking wookie packs to death all day every day.

Gonna miss disgustingly overpowered horses though.

It took a few rounds for the beta to click for me, but I feel like I'm getting into the groove a bit more and I'm liking it. It definitely needs some work and I'm sure a ton of poo poo will get changed before release, but I see a lot of potential.

The thing that annoys me the most is how little AT ammo Assault gets. You can't even damage a tank for half its health before you're completely out. Maybe it'll be better when you can put another AT gadget in the grenade rifle slot, but right now Assaults feel piss-poor for what is supposed to be their main job.

Thinking about picking this up on sale for 30 bux. I've heard a lot of negative buzz, but I really enjoyed battlefield back In the 1942 days. I've only played on PC but it's not an option now. What's the goon consensus on this game?

I feel like I'm burning out a little on call of duty and looking for something more tactical than that but isn't as serious or unforgiving as counter-strike.

What's the best way to play with goons. Everyone on my friends list is from monster hunter, madden or blops....



Please link discord or meta tag?
Metatags aren't really a thing anymore now that consoles have unlimited friend lists. Just post your PSN/Xbone tag and people will add you.

Game's good right now but just a little bit short on maps and content. That will change as time goes on though, and all new stuff is free. I'd definitely recommend it at $30.
