Please do explain how exactly it takes no skill? i dont get comments like this, it seems as if you only think that takes no skill because you're the one getting killed. Shooting bottle necks and apparently "random" (how random must they be if you are there dying) locations takes no skill? What exactly do you think takes skill? Sorry to sound like a dick but you die, get over it and quit bitching.

Sure is. I'll add you to the right groups later if I haven't already
I use the exclusively in operation. You'd be surprised how little it leaves you at a disadvantage if you play it properly. So many people can't cope with someone using cover and Constantly sprinting around a location haha
The jesus 10 haha I like that

Yeah, it's all kinds of fucked. Can we just get a rollback >_<
Another bug that happened to me is that I was playing a bunch of games and never getting battlepacks. Turned back on my system and suddenly had 5

played Hardcore, waste of a huge potential, such a shame
the Time To Kill is perfect, especially for snipers, they finally kill with one bullet
no map, awesome, you don't know where the one killed you at, great
the mode could have been awesome like in Bad Company 2, but Dice decided to fuck it up
you can't see who you killed, or didn't, when you kill someone, you don't get a note saying you killed him and how many points you get so you pretty much don't know if you killed him or not, the only way to know is hearing the sound of the kill which will not be heard during gunfire
for example, when you throw a grenade, you don't know if you killed anyone unless you hear the sound, and even if you did you don't know how many you have killed
and to make the mode even worse, Dice decided to make you not be able to recognize who is you enemy and who is your ally, there is no text above the players, there is an icon above your teammates but it doesn't show up unless you come VERY close to him and perfectly aim at him then it finally shows up, so pretty much you will kill your teammate without knowing it

I think the new patch made Quentin Scar color filter blinking worse.
I'm talking about this:
When it starts to blink, it blinks so rapidly now that it gives me a headache.
This problem was in the Alpha too and is still not fixed. Dice pls.
Edit. I tried to put gif in the spoiler tag, so mobile users can rest easy, but spoiler tag is not working for gifs? Oh well, sorry mobile users or people with slow internet.

Join a game, it should be fine after.
On a sidenote - rolled back to Nvidia driver 375.70 yesterday - the game runs awesome now, constant 135 fps with my GTX 1080 (except for the fact that my non overclocked i7 4790k with HT is running at 100 % a lot and causing it to reach insane temperatures that not even lintest or prime95 has managed.)
Cheers.

So now I can post a match report about last nights defence in proper detail.
Defending on Oil of Empires;
Pre-patch;
Hardly ever lost the first sector - usually took 45 minutes. Hardly ever lost a single flag infact. Even when dreadnought came it was usually a complete wall.
Post-Patch;
First wave we held the opponent on the first sector. A couple of occasions they snuck a flag capture but UKps4gaf held strong and pushed them back to their territory line. Tanks were destroyed very fast by myself and Stiltz.
Second wave we held the opponent once again on the first sector. The dreadnought eventually went down thanks to brilliant bombing runs by Kyliedog. The sniper suppression on the hillside by my boy Nitro was insane.
Third wave we got them down to 80 tickets. It took two tanks, a boat and a horse to rush A and then slowly they overpowered us on B. We were not happy. 520 tickets we held the opponent at the first sector.
Thanks to insane short range possibilities defending A on the second sector we cleaned them up easily.
Overall it took around 75 minutes or more - much longer.
I got over 60k match score and I came third. Redders stole the show with over 80k coming top.... those revives were intense.
My boy nitro with the sniper suppression ran 83-43
TL;DR - If you stick to the same tactics you used 'pre-patch' then defence is effectively very little difference. Attacking is much easier in a squad but defence is barely different.
42-4 win/loss
32 in a row for UKps4Gaf

Model 10 still amazing
lets not act like it's not OP though. if it gets a bit of a nerf it will still be an awesome gun. it needs to be toned down.
only spawned as medic a few times post patch, but i didnt notice a lack of skulls laying around to be revived.
ive been put in mostly empty servers since the patch. spent 8-10 minutes in an empty Domination server before it filled up today.
i think they broke something.

Monte grappa conquest sucks after this patch 4 planes endlessly dropping nades is so shitty.
There is no real balance, once one team dominates its over. They can just spam whatever flag u get

Yes! I can't Rez people. I'd say like 1 out of 10 just don't work. Mi iMap does show it though.

Pre-patch I defended it like hell
Post-patch - yeah it's ridiculously OP but in such a hilarious way
The thing people moaned about most has been made more frequent.
I haven't noticed a difference in reviving people or seeing the icons in game, still managed 62 revives on Oil of Empires which I've done before the patch. Only time I can't revive people is the same as pre patch such as them being stuck in benches, sandbags etc.
I didn't even realise you could see the skulls on the mini map haha.
Disagree Guy
Member
You revive like 50+ people per game minimum and you didn't even know the skulls show up on minimap?
Beast mode unlocked
So what's the go to Medic gun of choice?
Beyond the syringe of course
Edit: every quickmatch I've tried in the last hour has seen me been put into empty lobbies that aren't filling up so no match can begin.
I'm guessing less people play at this time or matchmaking is weird again.

Mondragon Storm/Optical is my absolute favourite so far.

Last night UKps4Gaf had this in operations.
We cancelled and reloaded and it worked first time.

Melee killed someone from behind less than a second after they spawned last night. I had just killed the guy they spawned on.
They must have had a huge WTF moment.

I killed a gang of peasants all reviving each other in the exact same spot last night on Iron Walls.
I felt a bit sad after a while. Reviving just to get instantly blown away. So pre-occupied with reviving they didn't notice my sinister ass stood there with the Model 10.

Add Luvs_2_Squidge to ps4 mate.
I'll add you to our group chat of 50+ people and our community of 120+ people
Official party is up 22:00 every night but smaller groups come up at other times. If the main group fills we normally run a second group.
Also November 26th at 22:00 we are having a gaf vs gaf game - My team vs Redders team. 40+ Gaffers haha.
Sorry for double post - meant to edit my original post

I got it last night. I'm no killing machine, but there were a few satisfying blasts to opponents faces in the ukgaf game!
Disagree Guy
Member
Haha you used it to?
I think there must have been about 3 of us running with it.
No wonder we destroy the opponents. Especially with Redders and Fatty reviving over 100 tickets between them every game haha
Might be a slight exaggeration there! Normally around 30 but defending Oil of Empires is easy mode.
If you can see people from further away it shall be.

I'm in the top 1% for revives world-wide according to battlefieldtracker.com and did not notice as well. LOL

Yup, game is running fine but menu i lagging since patch...

Yeah you aren't joking. Three maps and we've only been pushed back to the final sector on the first map once....
It's one of my favourites to attack or defend to be fair.
Conquer Hell is up next. Fingers crossed we get a defensive run.
Yeah I think two of our medics are in the top 1% - could be in the top 500 of players.
You on ps4?

what platform?
What position in the top 1% are you at?
Won't be happy if you're above me!
PS4 I'm 174th and on the Global leaderboards (Assume that's all platforms) I'm 457th which are both top 1%.

On PC @ ultra which is what it was set to before
Played heaps and never noticed it until playing tonight at which point I swore there were more foliage
