Who can blame people really, the guns those classes have are absolutely awesome to shoot with. Looks like people aren't really missing those SMG's.

They were pissing me off last night. Between medics within 5m not reviving me, and support not dropping ammo after a dozen + requests, I was wishing friendly fire was turned off so I could drop those fools.

There must be a reason why medics are so popular. I don't think they were this dominant in BF3 and 4. BC2 could be, because of the M60 being a sniper there.
Is it the weapons? You would think most noobs choose assault because, well, its the damage dealing class.

Yeah, when the first images leaked I thought it was gonna be like Oasis or maybe stretch over to the other side of the canal or something. But nope, Meatgrinder clusterfuck.
I have fun on it when it's a close match and control keeps going back and forth.
For me, it is absolutely the weapons. Selbstlader <3

The way BF1 (and BF in general) is this:
You see a tank and there is no assault class near you
You need to be revived and no medic is near you
You need ammo but no support is next to you
You need spotting but no scout is next to you (said no one ever)
And then when there is a class near you, they either don't have ammo, never revive/heal you, or already threw their anti-tank grenades at barbed wire

Holy.
Guess I'm lucky Scout unlocked as it should. I'm just terrible at sniping.
Assault is manageable, but Support is gonna be a chore.
I want that platinum, but at the same time I need my medic class to have fun....
I'm not the greatest shot so I need double the bullets to make up for it 😭
No, as in I've completed at least some of the requirements and none of them register.

Is someone playing in the same server as me right now

You didn't expect an operation metro map?
Shotguns are rarely one-hit kills at range. You need 2-3 shots at 10-20 meters.
What i feel should be toned down is mortars and snipers. Mortars aren't OP when you're dealing with one or two, but when the entire enemy team seem to use it, you have no chance to move near objectives. At least remove the ability to see enemies on the map when they're firing and limit ammo to 3 (and no resupplying for it)
Snipers should be one-hit-kill by headshots only. They seem way too easy to use. They also need to impose some kind of sniper limit per team.
Hopefully most of these issues will be fixed with rented servers.

It's basically a team death match. Boring as hell.

Just finished mud and blood. Even though the game is such a typical shootet story, the real world events and the bleakness of it all adds so much.
Like, if we got a good dev like Naughty dog to do a story in thi setting, it would extraordinary
real history context for these war games has been so sorely missed. I dont know how sci fi shooters like COD can continue the way they do.

For everyone having problems unlocking the multiplayer rank trophies on PS4 i had the same problem but got all now.
You have to level twice a rank / all once in one go on one server so they get unlocked.
Trophies didnt pop for me too then i read about the server thing.
So be sure you rank twice on a server in some games without leaving it to get the trophy.
Same goes for ranking all to 1.

The guns for the assault class have a pretty short range. I know used to be an assault guy in previous BFs but switched to medic and support because their guns are more viable for medium range battles.
You blow them up.
And I just got my ass handed to me repeatedly by shotguns one hit killing me to ~15m.

I love it when I get the armored train with the mortar. I clean house.

Technically I don't think you HAVE to get them open, at least not in any game type that involves capturing points. In Operations, for example, standing on top of the bunker counts for capturing it just as much as being inside so if enemy players want to hang out inside behind the doors they can't stop your team from staying up top and taking the point anyway.

They could have been headshots or you could have been at low health. Someone else could have hit you a split second before they did as well.
Try using a shotgun yourself, it usually takes a few shots at any real range.

So I can't seem to unlock some weapons even though I do have the required number of warbonds and there doesn't seem to be a rank requirement. How does that work?
SimpleCRIPPLE

Yes
Seems completely random except that MVP has a much higher chance of getting a battlepack in my experience.
You can't unlock them from the main menu yet but you have to be ingame.

Weapons have a war bond price and a class rank level. The number next to the weapon will let you know what rank you need to be for that class. Weapons unlock at class rank 1, 2, 3, and 10.
You can see your class level in the upper left when you're on the customization screen in a match.
Isn't that the case already ?

I'm hearing mixed things about mixing controller and kb+m play on the PC version. Do you have to go either-or, or can you use both interchangeably? Would like to use my controller for vehicle controls only and then kb+m for everything else.

Haven't played Battlefield since early Battlefield 4. Excited to get back in. Only....4 hours until it downloads. Ahhh
Emphasis on only. Sniper rifles have a range (e.g. 40-75m depending on the rifle) where they one hit kill with a chest shot. I still can't fathom why DICE made this change. Sniping is already quite easy with the extremely high bullet velocity.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
at store right now cant start a poll but ill take count, Mafia 3 or BF1?

BF1 is way more solid as a whole IMO, I'd wait for Mafia to go on sale and get a few more patches to fix stuff.
Also this is the best battlefield since Bad Company 2, to me at least but yeah It's great. 35 Hours in and I'm not slowing down.

I'm surprised by the small amount of skins the battlepacks have. I've already gotten all the legendary weapons. No puzzle pieces though.
None of my favorite guns have skin variants though, unfortunately.

Medics who don't revive after the coast is clear are all probably Trump supporters.

They were absolutely dominant in BF3, at the very least. The Defibs were incredibly powerful tools, and revive trains were how many Rush matches got won. You couldn't really do anything about it, which is why they got nerfed pretty hard in BF4. Also, you know, M16A3.
I imagine the Medic's popularity in BF1 is more about the DMRs. They were quite popular in BF4 because they were all-class.

If you like battlefield, then know this is a great battlefield game. Of course this is a battlefield thread so its gonna favor battlefield 1

It works flawlessly, at least in my experience. I use a controller for flying, everything else is M&K. Changes all on screen prompts instantaneously once it detects a single input.
Sorry, but I'm not following. What do you mean you have to level twice a rank? I'm having the same issue but on Xbox with achievements.
