That makes sense, still incredibly aggravating.

Eh, that feels a bit too automated for a Battlefield game for my liking. As much as it infuriates me when people don't throw down packs, taking that away would take away player agency.
I need rearm myself constantly because BAR burns through ammo fast. 20 round mags, 100 rounds in reserve and absurd RPM does wonders for need of rearming. That said it's just poor support play not to drop ammo crates into clumps of people.
Is Operations really better than Rush? Because I am hooked to Rush. The explosions, the screams, the tension of looking for your telegraph... is fantastic!!! Rush is back... Rush is back!!!!
I always want to try the other modes, but "first a round of Rush to warm up" and I can't let it go... I need help...

Then don't sit in the tank and start playing the game.

Wat. I can never get kills when I'm I'm a tank cause I can barely see anything.
I might be doing it wrong
Play me 1v1.

Have to agree. Try War Pigeonso and Rush if you want some excitement. I love Conquest as well but I like the tension those bring.

It was more of a notification than anything else. Even the best players need a push sometimes.
I'm enjoying the game so far but there are some pretty annoying bugs in it... Stood on a crashing zeppelin and ended up bugging the game and causing it to crash, looked pretty though.

I always throw ammo for myself to replenish those fine ass incendiary grenades, but I also replenish my teammates too when I get the chance. I usually always have the highlight of most resupplies because, like you said, other Support players don't really like giving anyone ammo. Also, dat BAR Storm tho.

Maybe get out of the tank then? That's like saying "This game is so barren. Just sit in a plane all round and all I see are clouds. Getting bored already."

How come the US servers are becoming harder and harder to find on PC? (For conquest)
Fao Fortress is worst offender in this. If you get bad team RNG you will witness 95-99% of your team camping in fortress and not doing anything else for next 30 minutes.
Moment you start blinking as I'm coming towards you with my syringe just keep on blinking until in deploy screen. I will be reviving someone with patience to wait around for 2 seconds longer.

I hope you're not the annoying teammate I had recently who literally just sat on far corner in the tank shooting randomly from the start, dies and didn't respawn until another tank was available just so his death count wouldn't be lower. To top it off, all he did was complain about other players. I told him to just spawn and get kills on foot but he just brushed it off. In the end he had the lowest score in the squad.
I'm constantly finishing every round (even when I struggle to gain momentum) in the top 5 if not MVP. Rarely use a tank or plane. They should have a battlefield training academy before people can go online where you learn the necessary fundamentals of how to play as a squad especially a leader.
Every round I'm asking the squad leader for orders or even telling him on the mic and nothing. Their should be an update if you request orders at least 5-10 times you automatically become squad leader.
Uh oh. Is the PC version already drying up?

I......errr....what? Are you quick matching or something? The server browser was loaded with full US servers last night

If people camp vehicles like that then there should be an auto spawn forced on players

The prologue is killer. Unfortunately they aren't as good overall. You'll like some and hate some of the missions. Decent campaign. I enjoyed it more than Gears of War 4 if that helps.

Agreed, to prevent afk players. Maybe spawn them in a minute, if they don't move within another minute, booted.
Haha hey now. PC players can be fickle

I've started to hate getting revived sometimes by medics only because I hate getting revived then I get hit with the glitch where I can't shoot my damn gun after getting revived. Cause I'm often getting revived right in the thick of some firefight with an enemy right in my face and it's so incredibly frustrating to have the drop on somebody only to fire and nothing happens.
My bigger complaint are so many worthless Scouts when you're playing an Operation and you need to move forward to get that last point and you've got a bunch of dudes pretending they're Vasily Zaytsez with a sniper rifle. But that's always an issue in BF games.
Operations are wonderful though. Such a great addition to BF.
He propably had a bugging / wrong filtered server browser.
The game get's you into packed servers instantly.
Agreed. There were a ton of servers. Not sure what is up.

I was having issues with pretty bad FPS dips and drops with my computer. Put the game in borderless window mode. Fixed it completely. Constant 60fps at 1440p at max settings.
I have an i5 2500k at 4.0 GHZ, 16gb of RAM, and a gtx1070 SC.
If anyone else is having the same issue I was. That's what did it.
I even put the game down to the lowest settings and would skill drop into the 30s. Now it doesn't even go below 50 now.
Then you'll just have people who spawn and redeploy over and over again. Wasting tickets.

Yea no joke. Congrats to him. I'm nowhere near w/ 50+ hours played.
There was another poster this morning. I'll try to find the post. He went from 60fps -35 overnight and couldn't figure out why.
*edit* added post.

The customization menu where you change everything else

It didn't matter what settings I chose, what resolution. I would still get dips into the 30s. I was only having 40% gpu usage and my cpu was maxed out. Put the game on borderless gpu usage went up to 70-90% and cpu usage went way down.

Change the scaling thing? Should be 100. If I let Nvidia panel do it for me, it changes to 150 and I get less fps than keeping it at 100.

I mostly play support, and I drop ammo packs literally all the time. Tbh good support players do need them for themselves as well so that argument is invalid, but regardless I always put one down when there's a group of people around me. I also drop one asap when I spawn on a squad member. Not only does it help my team, but I get insane amounts of points from it too. Win-win.

Does anyone else scrap all their battlepack skins because they don't care? I just find it lackluster coming from BF4. and majority of the time my gun is covered in mud so I can't look at it anyway.
Hoffelcopter

Possibly? Couldn't tell you. I did the change this morning before work and everything was smooth as butter. I get the occasional dips to around 50 FPS. But that's rare.
I only installed the game this morning.
I just wish skins were able to be purchased in some capacity. I have a bunch of skins for guns I'll probably use and not like now. Not to mention an endless supply of warbonds. I've bought the auto-revolver, a medic carbine and a pick axe to date. That's it.
I think the biggest medic annoyance of all is the prevalence of over-eager medics who revive you right in the line of fire that killed you in the first place, or worse yet, WHILE you are under heavy shelling from an artillery barrage.
Like, look man, I get that you have good intentions, but dial it down a notch please.
