cummon den! ava go!

WE

It's growing on me. Probably because I haven't played a generic shooter in ages. Also because I switched to Rush which is so much better than the garbage that is conquest.

The horses don't fucking deserve it. At least they have the health of a tank.

>white soldiers

How long is the beta going for?
Still worth giving it a go?

I'm on the fence because
>EA

Fucking hell that is insulting.

This whole game fucking shits all over your ancestors. You're a disgrace if you buy it.

If you spend your free time playing video games after your forefathers died fighting for freedom, you're already a disgrace.

>implying people care about history let alone our ancestors

Get a load of this fag

back to pol my friend

How exactly? It's a fucking battlefield game, not a war sim.

Find something productive to do other than watching alex jones videos.

is the beta still just that one map?

>theres a character editor in the main game
>people are still going on about the color of the characters
I want to see something like a "commander" mode, where everyone has to follow the leader as they move across the map. Doesnt need to be player controlled because that makes them prone to being fucking retards, but I really want to see a gamemode that has players moving in the same fucking direction instead of sprinting the opposite way from eachother as soon as they spawn.

Its meh all around.
Self-repairing tanks are laughably retarded good job on taking out the very few actually remaining cooperative aspects.

Since nobody has rockets unlocked tanks are overpowered and everyone is just playing sniper all day, which will probably get worse over time just like people do.

>Run while holding pistol
>Character holds the pistol up action movie style
Fuck that shit pisses me off, just think why would a soldier obscure his vision when he can just put his hands DOWN.

>Dedicated to the brave soldiers who fought in the great battle of
Battlefield 1 Closed Alpha

The real Soldiers and even civilian casualties of
WWI would be rolling in their graves

It's called communicating with your squad and leaving/making your own if they don't listen.

I've been in several squads so far where we earned 1st place with over 100,000 points because we constantly shifted as a unit and took/defended flags with each with leaders that constantly gave orders.

It's not the games fault people play as lone wolves, it's the players. BF1 already gives a massive incentive for squad play as it rewards you with a shit load of points for following orders.

>people said the same thing about bf3
>we didn't got any editor
try lying better shill

The war is almost a 100 years old. Shouldn't you be more mad about people playing as durkhas killing marines in Insurgency?

I do agree that I hate how the turned WW1 into a Hollywood flick with a bunch of explosions instead of a dark,dreary and spooky atmosphere filled with shellshock

>everyone is just playing Sniper
Why is that? Was playing not an hour ago and loaded into a squad of four other people, all snipers.

We're on offense. Get on the point.

How is a hollywood flick? There are no set pieces or scripted moments.

How the fuck do you take a desert in the day time and make it "dark, dreary and spooky"?

Real life wasn't black and white my friend. That's just old cameras...

Probably due to a decade of reinforcment from vidya about how being a cowardly fuck 1500 meters from the battlefield with a high k/d is literally the most badass you can be.

God forbid people risk their VIRTUAL life, they get even more cheap and cowardly when it doesnt matter.

who the fuck thought that AA truck was a good idea

Scout is a good class to play offensively though. It has spotting flares, K rounds to immobilise vehicles and an awesome primary weapon.

tell that to the 10v10 fucks sleeping on the hills killing eachother in an 1-1 ratio, once a minute

What a battle

Look at the trailers for it. Its reminiscent of a micheal bay flick.

If games can make the colorful jungles of Vietnam and islands of the Pacific campaign dreary in sure a desert would be no problem

blame the player, not the class.
youtube.com/watch?v=VXC4wjaDMNk

I'll blame the braindead developers who design their game around fulfilling the wishes of the lowest of the low.

Not only you should do nothing but snipe and gawk at your K:D but they also make sure the map fully supports this behavior and basically nothing else.

Who thought that AA was a good idea in general? No skill involved at all.

So because they didn't filter out the natural colour, you think it doesn't look real?

What the fuck are you even going on about? Do you want a darker, cinematic tone because you're so used to hollywood WW2 movies that do it?

You want less hollywood, but you want more hollywood. Stop being an idiot. Real life is colourful and vibrant.

K rounds don't immobilise vehicles though

I mean, I play plenty of scout with the Gwehr 95, but K rounds' only real use is against those little cars which they kill in 3-4 hits, or peppering a nearly dead vehicle to stop it healing

Well, I've tried it but really shouldn't. I don't like battlefield, hoped it would be slower(Red Orchestra style) due to setting though, but nah, they hired fucking Ian from Forgotten Weapons to find them oddballs which would turn the game into every battlefield ever.

>colorful jungles of Vietnam and islands of the Pacific campaign

t. never been to south-east asia
The region is pretty dreary.

But faggots who camp and snipe from windows and mountains don't contribute to anything and therfore are useless.

What the fuck can a developer do for this? They already made k/d useless in new CQ. It's all about dominating the map now, and campers are useless on rush as they need to get off their arse and plant/defuse.

Camping snipers are really nothing to get worked up over. They're useless and should be ignored. If you're on a team full of them, switch or leave.

2 Krounds to a Track will disable a vehicle.

Do you know how many tank drivers are such pussies that if they can't move, they bail out?

That's a damn shame. I miss the glory days of BFBC2.

>If you're on a team full of them, switch or leave.

Which is why I won't buy the game, this is the case every time.

"just ignore them"
They are snipers user, you cant ignore snipers because its literally a bunch of camping fucks ruining your game through random instakills.

So while they are "irrelevant", I just have to coordinate ALL MOVEMENT AT ALL TIMES ACCORDING TO ALL THE SNIPING SPOTS ON THE MAP which is around 60% of the map this time around.

Yeah - that does not affect anything at all...

Huh, I was unaware of that.
I'd tried shooting all over, but had been unable to figure out if there was any real locational damage.
Sometimes it I'll do twice as much damage but I can never seem to figure out what causes that.

If you want to look at what im talking about,just take a peek at CoD WaW imo it had the perfect war atmosphere.

Now you're just being a whiny baby. If you can't deal with snipers and the 50 ways of avoiding/killing them then maybe you should ignore this game.

Yeah, usually on Light tanks, turrets take the most damage, but if you're alone vs Landship/Heavytank, aim for the tracks to disable it then run like fuck.

Turkey is White Men's choice

A perfect atmosphere to a made up space war?

Ok.

Hes right to a degree though. They got stronger, the map design better suits them and everything else got weaker. Burstfire is useless with all weapons and MG's get more accurate the longer you fire. If they fix the weapon balancing that could help a lot. Right now they replaced skill with luck due to random spread and retardedly high first shot multiplier.

> That
> White
Americans never cease to amaze me. They're all blacks yet one is lighter black so Americans claim Turkey is white.

Or are Americans really all black? These day I wonder.

it's just a video game user
it's made for fun

>not caring about where you come from
Found the beta cuck

looks pretty white to me

>don't care about your history
Found the nu-male faggot

>fucking shits all over your ancestors

The entire war was already like that.

Imagine being retarded enough to fight for some inbred noble that never did anything for you and expects you to die because of a family feud.

not when i'm playing my vidya

What is the point of the support class?
So you get a big, slow firing, inacurrate gun with not that much ammo as you would expect and no means to attack the vehicles

but my ancestors werent in ww1

having fun so far
probably gonna buy it when it gets cheaper
graphics is nice

i don't give a slightest shit about Sup Forums whining, it's just a video game

Then you are a cuck and faggot and deserve all the bad games you get.

What other games shit all over your ancestors?

I will, that doesn't mean I cant say objectively true things about it even if you call it whining.

The game, just like Battlefront did with its "everyone is a sniper!" retardation - shows that it wants nothing but the CSGO audience, AWP children with ADHD.

Its okay if you are the target audience and this is right up your alley, just shut the fuck up about it because it makes you a piece of shit.

>cuck

you can spew your silly memes all day long, i'll just enjoy my vidya. stay mad.

>I enjoy being a cuck
I'm not surprised

ammo boxes for da bros
bottle bomb for objective
gas or incendiary for rooms/objetive
oh and you can unlock a fairly accurate lmg

>memes are my only argument

>not understanding the truth to the meme
You are proving my point. Just keep tuning out.

>implying

My ancestors fucked off to America at the first sign of trouble, everyone should've done the same desu

sure thing pal.

I do care about my history, but Battlefield isn't my history you dumb cunt.

I never realised soldiers used those canvas backpacks in WWI. Army disposal stores sell them for really cheap in Australia and a lot of students including myself wear them. They are literally 100% the same.

>Light tank Nade
>Incendiary trip bomb
>Ammo pouch
>Unlimited instant tank nades and bombs
>Decent prone weapons

It's gr8 m8.

>Can't handle noob snipers
>CuckCODCSkiddy

lmao alright you little baby

>implying light tanks aren't a much bigger threat than heavy/landships and you can do just as much damage to them with k bullets

Hit customize and buy a gun that isn't worthless. The other guns can actually do damage beyond 3 meters if you tapfire it, unlike anything medic/assault has, and they're still pretty deadly up close.
Also light anti-tank nades self-resupply spam

Tapfire is useless due to the high first shot multiplier. Support MGs literally get more precise the longer you fire.

To clarify, the only other gun available at rank 0 is actually miles better, despite the statistics saying it's worse in every way.

That's not quite true, the first shot is very accurate, then the second is wildly out of place, before weaning down to mostly accurate after like ~7 rounds or some shit. You can fire it fairly fast while retaining that first shot accuracy, and while you won't do huge damage it's useful if somebody's out in the open or to throw off that garbage sniper trying to headshot you.

You can actually set the MG's to semi-auto with v if you want, as well.

i been running around with the one with the scope its bretty gud. Tho, the high hipfire accuracy one pulls off some great 100m hipfire kills and works well with gas nades

White characters is something I'd love to see implemented

That's what a high first shot multiplier means. The higher it gets the less precise your second shot will be. That's why tapfire makes no sense. The first shot will it, then 5 or so are purely based on luck until it gets more precise again. Completely retarded, I hope they change that.

army item. thats why army disposals sell them

in Ballarat we call them fag bags

but i dont, the only EA i play is CC general

>So, how are you finding it

it's nothing like ww1. when the whole ww1 thing was announced, i thought 'wow, they're really going to do something different with the fps genre. good thing, too, because it's stagnating like fuck.'

i've played about ten hours of this beta, and it just feels like bf4. or bf3. when they said 'ww1,' i pictured trench warfare and cavalry charges and artillery batteries to break the front line defenses and shit. i pictured brutal bayonet fights.

the problem with the bf1 beta isn't black people (although having a black guy on the title screen when only, like, 1% of armed conflict soldiers were black people is really on-the-nose sjw bullshit to appease tumblr shemales), the problem is that it doesn't ring true to ww1 at all. i feel like if you sat someone down at a net cafe or your pc or whatever, you'd have to tell them that it was a ww1 game. the only tip off that it's a ww1 game is that everyone's wearing funny hats. it's not a terrible fps game, but it doesn't feel like ww1 at all, so... what's the point? it's just bf4 again (which was really just bf3 again).

It's a battlefield game in world war 1. Battlefield has never done real life battles. It's only ever taken the setting.

How you expected a BF game to not be a BF game is a testament to your stupidity.

I don't think World War One is a good setting for videogames.

Which one of you did this?

I went in expecting WW1 and I got some kind of weird 2016-WW2 Alien-Human Hybid.

It's not enough WW1, and yet it's not enough anything else either, so it just feels weird. Like they started to make a WW1 game, then changed their minds midway through and put out this weird shit.

It's really disappointing. A true WW1 shooter would be a nice change of pace for a AAA FPS, but welp, we got this thing instead.

>break the front lines
>brutal bayonet fights
>trench warfare
explain how any of these would mesh well mechanically in a shooter

you, clearly

I was expecting nearly every class to be using bolt actions and single fire weapons, with a few automatics, but absolutely everyone is using automatics, it feels like any other shooter because of this. Missed opportunity.
Someone on Sup Forums actually said that if it was just bolt actions the game would be boring. Two things wrong with this; making every shot count isnt boring gameplay and weve seen this run and gun gameplay a thousand times now, how is it any less boring. CoD 2 was more or less bolt action combat, and it was fucking stellar, it wouldve worked here.

> Guns aren't fun to shoot
> Don't feel like you're part of a team working towards a goal

It's just not fun. The map choice is a bit strange too. The BF3 beta had metro and that worked really well as a beta map. No idea why they chose something like this; it actually feels too open even for a BF game. But maybe that's because the core mechanics don't work together so being out in the open doesn't feel very pleasant.

It is a good battlefront mod.

Retail when ?

What does the flare gun do? Also does anyone else suck at flying planes

There's two flare gun options, the default spots enemies nearby, the other is like a flashbang

Is that Newcastle in the pic OP?

Planes have never been easier to fly. Just use the Bomberhunter loadout for the interceptor and the tankhunter loadout for the attack plane and get farming infantry.

Played for about 2 hours and dropped it. I don't really like Battlefield, I just liked the near-future fuckery of BC and 3/4.

Plus the PC feels like he weighs 300 pounds and the physics somehow got worse.

>So, how are you finding it Sup Forums?
Pretty fun so far.

It's nice to see a thread that isn't complaining about MUH REALISM in a Battlefield game or MUH NIGGERS

It has the basis to be a good battlefield game, but god damn it has all but removed any incentive to actually play as a team.

It's open for 3-4 days

>I'm on the fence because
Do you realize that the beta is free to play and you lose nothing by downloading it?

>Fuck that shit pisses me off, just think why would a soldier obscure his vision when he can just put his hands DOWN.

Uh, because in real life it doesn't obscure your vision. Plenty of people run like that with handguns.

Battlefront and BF Hardline had character customization so piss off.

>Went into Battlefield expecting Red Orchestra
I am so fucking tired of you MUH REALISM faggots.

You're retarded.
What do you think a WW1 Battlefield is going to be like? Sitting in a trench all day, eating rats, trying not to get your head blown off, and writing letters back to Blightey when the Germans aren't shelling you?
I expected fast paced action gameplay

It marks enemies

Also planes are easy as fuck to use now compared to BF4 where skill mattered less than whoever had the most plane modifications

>What the fuck can the developer do for this
Add a limit. Squad does this to great success. Not everyone can be a marksman, or a gunner, or a squad leader. And upon that, giving commanders control over kicking people out of certain roles if they're just being shitters and/or completely retarded.

LOL this story is fake af, probably made to make germans look bad, by the time you feel the effects of the gas you are either choking to death and blind or your nervous system is dead, depending on which type of gas was used
