I'd like to say that all these vids are good because Siege is like Guns Chess and I learn stuff but it's mostly just funny as poo poo.

Of the 20 or so matches we've had since early yesterday, only 1-2 have been against groups that all have ranks. Most of the games have had at least 3 unranked people. Is matchmaking busted or are we on some kind of streak?

Hey Hard can you add an option to report someone for spamming chat with racist poo poo? The only option is to report them for hacking.

They check chat and other such behavior with that report button. Could use a name change I suppose.

There's zero difference between Uplay and Steam versions beyond having the Steam overlay; you have to find/join people through Uplay even with the Steam version.

Obviously go full Nazi with censorship, why do you think game is designed so that Ash and Smoke are in the opposite teams? :rolleye:

Hard this is your bi-daily reminder that not being able to mute an single person in chat is an epitome of stupidity in game design.

The online player interaction aspect of the game is just supremely awful all around. I know people in this thread largely dislike Overwatch but that's something Blizzard has always been really good at and it's phenomenal in Overwatch. Uplay sucks (it SUCKS, Hard) and Siege really has no more than the most barebones online interface slapped on top of it. I really wish the profit motive weren't so real for it because it leaves very little time for expanding and polishing quality of life stuff like that when new content has to get pushed out the door constantly so the game can justify its right to continue existing.

While Origin itself is fine, they didn't quite think straight designing the UI/UX for Battlefield 1.

I do not hear you, I do not see you, I will not let you get into the Duggler's head with your bring-downs.

I was initially ranked silver but the ranks are a lot closer this season so you'll jump up to gold in no time if you aren't averaging one tk per round

I shot the moon on my placement matches (not on purpose) and ranked at Copper 4. I'm silver 4 now, right where I was last season.

What I need are some good videos on strategy/tips because while half of my deaths are from slow reaction time, the other half are from poor positioning/decision making.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I'm real bad at attack because I want to get up in there with the action and I have three minutes to find someone to shoot at

I wouldn't stress your rank or your stats man.

Consider the following:

Thus far you've been playing with people who have been playing this game for well over a year at this point and I'd say you've been holding your own too. You don't know map callouts, you don't know all the Ops yet, and you don't know the best angles yet either. But all that stuff comes with time so I wouldn't let it discourage you too much.

As far as videos to watch I'd suggest this guy iceycat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvaDQ6csB4Y

For raw gameplay I'd suggest serenity17 or Macie Jay.

Lastly: your w/l is actually 1.71 so don't sweat the small stuff. You're doing fine.

*edit*

Linked an actual video for iceycat since apparently linking to his profile just breaks the link.

*edit2*

Also something to note that the iceycat stuff is good for Op breakdowns but you should probably take his opinions on accuracy and effectiveness with regards to weapons with a grain of salt. He's on console so guns that might be un-loving-controllable there are laser accurate on PC. Aside from that his Op breakdowns are some of the best.

I honestly think this game has made me better at Battlefield, and I'm like five hours played pvp, which is nothing. I still suck, but I know I suck less and less every day.

In hindsight I wish I had team killed and disconnected every placement match so I could run around playing terrible gimmicks and messing with bad players in copper league.

First ranked match after placements. My team are all 50 and below, enemy team is all 150 and above. Lost 1-4, now I'm bronze. yay. Now I get a giant fat "You suck" on my name whenever I play casual.

You're not alone in feeling bad, I'm loving awful at this game. I played maybe 30 hours when it just got released and picked it up again for this first time since this weekend. I got placed at bronze 4 after my ranked matches which luckily immediately got upgraded to silver 1, yeesh, the shame! I'm having a great time though, but the abuse I get after going something like 0-2-5 is incredible (I do also have good games one in a while).

I usually do ok on defense but am often the first to die on attacking. I generally try to pick dudes I think are fundamentally useful, like rook and the anti-nade guy, but on attack I'm in love with the manliest of men, sledge and montagne. Unfortunately I clearly have no idea what do with them. In my defense I usually pick last, so I don't steal them from anyone competent. I think what I lack more than anything is map knowledge, and maybe some headshot accuracy. Compared to cs and bf, where map knowledge is already super duper important, and which I used to be reasonable at, I really think it's even more important here, so I hope it'll get better once I don't spend most of the drone-time desperately trying to find out where the stairs even are. For some reason I usually do well on favelas, so it's become my favorite map.
