I dunno. I've been using support a lot. A combo of gas grenades, Lewis suppressive and mortars has been fairly effective for me.
It should probably be the lesser picked of the classes, but I think it still has a purpose.

It needs a massive nerf.
Compared to the rest, yup.
Sniping people out of the airships has to be one of the most satisfying things ever. Got a couple last night

We were gonna lose anyways so I said fuck it and started to snipe.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Operations is, like, the first and only multiplayer game mode to make me feel like I'm playing single-player.
Still I find myself in awe at some of the situations and set pieces I'm in, enough so that they seem absolutely deliberate in their design. I know they're not, but storming a castle with a group of screaming soldiers and the encouraging victory music gives me shivers every. single. time.

Yeah, if anything the terrible teammate AI makes it feel very much like a single player game.
I'm fucking doing everything. Stupid morons who play these games can eat shit.
I'm not angry I promise.

I feel like having medals require a progession of objectives and only allowing for a set number per week is just encouraging bad play. It's a really terrible piece of game design.

I've been trying to get Medal for shot gun. Headshots with shotgun is so hard, it's like you have to be point blank to get it.
Also taking down a vehicle with K bullets is even harder. Barely does damage.

I agree with you. I found when I attempt to work on a medal I don't contribute much to the game as when I don't focus on it.

The issue I have with the crates, health and ammo, is that they're very finicky with their placement. It seems like you need a clear, open spot to plop them down or they just won't appear, even if your character does the animation. Rather annoying when you're under fire and crawling on your belly.
Mondragon is the GOAT is that
Awww yiiiis
Ive been playing it a lot and I have to agree
They need to fix how LMGs work, and let you throw the limpit mine WAY further
At the moment its range is like 5m, so its totally worthless
I had the pleasure of destroying a Mark V Landship earlier today with a single K-bullet. Felt outrageously satisfying. But yeah, in general they're pretty weak.
And yes in general the medal system sucks. The fact they are timed and also usually so esoteric and weird to achieve makes the entire prospect very unappealing to me.

Even though I've got the Mexican and would love to flaunt it, I can't find a reason to use the Mondragon over the Selbstlader Magnified. The scope, mag size, and reload speed just make it a clear upgrade.
I played Operations twice and I thought it sucked. Maybe it's because it does feel like single player, or maybe because 2/3 of my team were sniping.
It's utter shait.
Medic medal revolves around getting noobtube kills.
Like fucking what!?

I feel like Suez was supposed to only be in rotation on some 30 person game mode or something but someone accidentally put it on conquest rotation instead.

IDK if there is any OP weapon right now. Everyone seems to have their "OP" weapon of choice, but I find that I end up disagreeing with them.
I just use the 1911. I like it's power as long as you aren't spraying like a madman cuz it only has 7 bullets in a magazine.

Starting to get the hang of sniping, even though it's been a long time. Really fun when it clicks. What are we thinking is the best scoped sniper? Loving the Russian one.
Yeah agreed, if you control it properly, like the BAR, it rewards you!
haaha
I was getting shot with it the other day, lost so little health and just felt annoying, the dude must have been out of primary ammo.. he was like 35m awayYeah the russian sniper and SMLE marksman seem awesome at the moment
I like it when people complain in chat about unbalanced teams when we attack on Rush and are taking most points fairly easily.
Because when I look at the scoreboard I see that there's usually at least 7-8 snipers out of 12 in the team in games like that. And the one complaining is more often than not one of those snipers.
How the fuck do people expect it to even be an even game when all it takes is for me to hop in a tank and then never lose it the whole game while my squad takes the objectives and I cover them.
More than 50% of the time when we get games like that, the server dies after the match is over because most people on the other team left. You can literally tell them in chat that they are losing because everyone is a damn wookie, but no one ever does anything to actually try and win. Games like that are not even fun, all you do is avoid sniper fire while arming objectives.

Trying to get through the forest without getting spotted is a big pain in the ass (doing it for the codex stuff). Do they spot you faster when playing on hard? Because I am on hard right now and don't remember getting spotted that fast.

do it on easy instead, was super fast
Oh man, will do it right now then! Thanks.

The Hellreigel 1915 requires level 10 in assault class... How much are you guys playing this game. Do you ever leave the house?
Yeah but before the latest patch it was easy to get and now it's 2x the exp needed. If you unlocked it you still got it.
They nerfed XP, youl got pretty fast to lvl 10 if you did what your role is supposed to do before the patch.
Was super easy to get rank 10 before the patch since it was bugged! Thats how I got rank 10 in medic, assault and support. Playing in Operations mode and PTFO nets a lot of exp as well
You spend hard earned Warbonds in the customization screen
Rank the class up and pay in game currency to buy them. Battlepacks are just skin unlocks for the guns you buy.

Play and level a class to reach rank 1, 2, and 3 to get access to the next tier of guns. You also have to buy them while ingame with warbonds to be able to equip them for your loadouts.

Just finished the Campaign on Hard difficulty last night and was genuinely surprised to really enjoy it. I had heard it was a lot better than the last few games but wasn't expecting much. Glad to be pleasantly surprised.
I liked that it was far more in the style of the actual multiplayer than BC2, BF3 and BF4 (BC1 was the only one that was similar to MP). I heard some people saying it was a "glorified MP tutorial" but I thought it was much more than that.
I've been really impressed with the level of destruction in both single and multiplayer. Really exhilarating sometimes when everyone is getting destroyed around you. Far more impressive than even BC2 (the previous pinnacle of destruction for the series). I enjoy the dynamic weather but not much of a fan of the fog. I don't mind sandstorms though.
Now that I've finished single player I'm looking forward to delving into the MP properly now. Been playing mostly medic but need to try out the other classes some more.
One change I don't like is the new Comrose in the game. I don't like that it takes 2 steps now to select a command. And I always have to think about which submenu to go into which slows things down too much that I don't even both using it that much now.

i think people are trying to get the sniper medals right now, it really messes with the game when it encourages everyone to play a certain class per week. And rush is best for that as you can just camp the MCOM stations for easy headshots.

And let me guess, for the low low price of 5 earth dollars i can buy a pack of warbonds from the EA store thus circumventing the need to level up??
You can't actually.
You can spend your money on battlepacks for weapons skins though.

I have been rocking medic ever since release and doing really well.
I switched to scout with the Lawrence of Arabia and people I'm getting one hit kill headshots like crazy while pushing. Went 44-10 and captured several objectives. I love the fact that I'm using iron sights and people can't see any scope glare. I then use the periscope to peer over rocks and cover, mark them, and then pop up and get an easy kill.
This is so much fun lol

So yeah the SMLE is mental....
You can basically use it like an assault weapon and take people head on.
The shotty on certain levels too is just ridiculous.

I feel like support could maybe receive more health or faster health regen to be more viable.
