Playing Battlefield with goons has resulted in more hysterical laughter from me than any other gaming experience.

I think once you get like 20-40 players in it'll organically attract a lot more as a lot of the servers get filled to the brim if its got a good ping

I think I'm actually getting worse at this. I think the problem is I can't see poo poo - close up I'm okay, but any distance and I can't see muzzle flashes or anything barring a machine gun hosing rounds out. Like, I'll be in concealment somewhere, fully prone, not actively firing, ding. Head shot. Don't know if I should try changing graphics settings or what.

If you want to be really useful, go Enginèer and build nodes. Munitions first, then manpower.

Played my first match last night and had a good time. Lost my voice comms, in and out bound, when I turned off my blutooth headphones (mic was a usb desktop mic tho!) and the fun of the game dropped a lot when I wasn't bantering with my mates. Would love to play with goons some time.

So I, as a medic on the German side in the battle of Kursk managed to run behind the enemy lines and killed the two gunners on the arty causing havoc with our advance with a shovel. I then waited a while until they came back, then threw in a grenade to kill them again. Forgetting that I was a medic, so all I did was increase their chances of emphysema. Whoops. Good times.

I have done the grenade thing more than a few times. It makes it especially fun when you are always switching classes. I have yet to accomplish a melee kill. I am always so terrified when I see an enemy that close I just spam fire until I hear their helmet come off...

WayAbvPar posted:I have done the grenade thing more than a few times. It makes it especially fun when you are always switching classes. There was a surprisingly long delay between me being able to swing the shovel to kill the gunner after I killed the loader. Of course it helps that when you are in the arty positions you have no situational awareness, with the loader's view locked on the back of the piece and the gunner being locked into the sight of the gun.

Yes, when attacking guys on arty try to come in from the right, the in-arty camera is pointing left.

Only got in one full map but it was better. I'd been falling back to playing it like Battlefield instead of, you know, keeping my head down and not doing anything stupid. I wound up mid-match on our far left flank, the Russian team was trying to go between two houses in front of me and I just kept dropping them - pop one, wait for medic, pop the medic, repeat. Got 9-10 kills right there in just a couple of minutes and they quit trying to go that way

Its very frustrating when you crawl into an area, stick your head up to get a look and get popped almost immediately. Spotting hidden infantry is very difficult, but apparently they can see me super easily.

Ive had pretty good luck with crawling and waiting for the bad guys to run into me , very map specific though, needs long grass. They can’t see you until they’re right on top of you usually , and you can just wait for the foot steps and fire at the movement Ive taken entire trench lines from behind clearing out 4-5 guys and a garrison that way

If you're new and just want to try all the buttons I totally recommend the goon server right now, good ping and you can try out commander without the stress of SLs yelling at you and learn the ropes! A functioning SL and Commander, or even just a tight tank crew can really objectively make the game 10x to 100xs engaging and fun!

A good 3 person tank crew is one of my all time favorite online game experiences. Commander also isn't that hard, just talk, put down supplies and garrisons, do recon flights, and watch your team steamroll the opposition

I have to say, I do wish the server browser was a bit smarter. Telling it to filter out full servers is a bit useless when it then shows me a couple dozen servers that are supposedly at 98/100 players but still have full queues and can't be joined.

One small thing I like is that squad leader chat is it’s own little world compared to the rest of comms with your squad. Been loving the game and it definitely hits the RO itch.

Picked this up the other day and been having some fun with it. Still have precisely 0 idea what the hell is going on, how the scoring works, how to tell if I actually hit someone other than opening the score board to check my kills, how the supplies work, how the spawnpoints work. All I know is follow my team around and shoot mans.

The only sure fire way to know you got a kill other than scoreboard checking is to listen for that satisfying *ding* of a headshot.

I would say the most important thing in this game is taking down garrisons and taking down outposts, followed by killing the person who is able to place these things. You will have a hard time taking a point if they have a garrison and can spawn their whole team in 40 seconds. Also, as the defending team, you should have at least two garrisons for this reason and OPs all over the point if possible to see when they ping red.
