Is there a way to switch default firing modes on weapons? The Sweeper defaults to full auto but I much prefer the single shot. It's annoying to remember to switch it every match.

Are you on consoles? Down on the dpad.
I guess this ended? Anyone know of any other deals?
Unfortunately, no. AFAIK that's a global variable that they can't change.
Spoiler: It was terrible. Spawns for the Rush portion/Titan assault was right over the ship. Which made defending it harder to do IIRC.

Would definitely be up for a titan mode with zeppelins. BF4's titan equivalent with the warships was butts.

Yes you do need to stealth especially on higher difficulties. And yes it's not that fun in a Battlefield game.

I think it might be impossible for me to play scout using a scoped rifle. It's so dull. I mean, sniping is great, but I'm permanently affixed to my Gewehr M.95. Aggressive scout is best scout, and it's so goddamn fucking satisfying getting bolt loaded rifle kills over distance with only iron sights to guide your aim.
Some more stuff:
RSC is a two hit kill out to 44 meters, 3 beyond that (unless you insist on kneecapping people) but has high recoil. Can two hit kill at all ranges if at least one is a headshot.
Lebel sweetspot is between 50 and 87.5 meters.
Sjörgen does the same damage as the M97 but fires 13 pellets per shot instead of 15, so it's somewhere between that and the 12g Automatic in terms of damage output.
The Chauchat hits like a truck, it's minimum damage is the same as the maximum damage of every other LMG.
Ribeyrolles is an MP18 with better damage dropoff and handling, plus you can bipod down if you want to be stationary while not hitting people.

Ugh i hate this assignment shit....
I hated it in BF4, Hardline and in Battlefront.
I payed for the DLC i should get the new stuff how i want it. Why even have the Warbonds in the game...

To be fair, at a glance these don't seem as bothersome, like hopefully these are done over time and not like in BF4 "Has to be completed in one round". Sure, some of the objectives are that but not "Do ALL of this."

I kind of agree. Although id like like to 'unlock them' via a rank update or something like the rest of the guns.
I feel like the progression system in this game is the weakest they done so far for a Battlefield game. It feels absolutely pointless to rank up anything at one point. I have all the guns, im literally doing this for no reason other than to see my number change. It sucks.
Sucked in battlefront and sucks in BF1.

Sucks that these are locked behind requirements, but at least it'll force me to use new weapons. Who knows, maybe I'll end up liking some of these guns.

Got stuck in a team with 15 snipers while attacking on Fao Fortress operations. They all just went up on the hill in the first sector and stayed there while I nearly took B by myself three times before some folks finally switched. Even our tank guy was camping and didn't bother taking A. Had 40 kills in the first sector alone while the next guy on my team had less than 10. When I did get the tank, I took out 10 people on B before i finally went down with the flag almost taken and we lost it anyway because those fuckers didnt bother even spawning on my tank. Why do people suck so much?
Spent half the game spamming the team chat asking people to GO GO GO and Follow Me. They only listened after we had wasted a 100 tickets and a few people finally switched to other classes and we ended up taking all three sectors in one battalion. Got bogged down in Suez because no one bothered to take out the train despite me begging them to get in my anti tank landship that should take it out within a couple of minutes. We lost 150 tickets before it went down and then again at the very start of Sinai because the game glitched and spawned me without a tank and the other two tanks decided to camp.
I just dont get it.
Oh and the weekly medal system gave me 4 medals that i have already completed. I have ten weapon and mode specific medals still left to go and it keeps giving me the same fucking squad medals i completed months ago. Why do this? What's the point?

Are battlepacks broken? I bought premium last night and opened the first battlepack. Took 30+ seconds to load up the video clip (terrible). Went to open up the second and waited 30+ seconds again only to be greeted with an error screen saying that it couldn't be open..and then was left with one less unopened battlepack. Nice.
Waited a day thinking it was a server issue it I just tried again and I still can't open any. Now I'm scared I'm going to lose another one if I keep trying. I'd expect this around launch but the game has been out for 4 months now, right?

Its funny, most people were complaining because there wasn't enough stuff to unlock or grind out towards like in previous battlefields. Can't please everyone I guess.
VincentMatts
Member
In the base game there isnt. I had everything within the first 2 weeks the game was released. Even the sniper class and i never even use it. Adding more 'class' levels that amount to basically nothing other than a bigger number isnt my idea of fun grinding.
Grinding is fun when you get something good from it. Like a really rare nice skin or something.
The base game has nothing compared to BF4. Its a gigantic step backwards.
100% agreed. I'm not a big fan of the sniper class, but this set-up here is money.
MaKTaiL
Member
I agree. I just started playing BF4 again for the DLC trophies and the amount of stuff you can unlock on the base game itself is gigantic. It would take ages for me to unlock everything. BF1 is pretty lackluster in this respect. No skins, fewer weapons and no customizations whatsoever for them.

Levelcap did a video on the new weapons. They don't sound broken or op, however they are different from the current archetypes. So I'm pretty interested in trying them out.

One of the most fun class layouts in the game. It's such a beastly weapon with such a versatile playstyle. They really need to add that weapon to Medic, it's more suited to being a Medic and reminds me of a Mondragon.
*Worlds tiniest Violin*
Personally, I'm all for them going back to the Bad Company 2 method. My only complaint is the fucking unlocks taking forever. 82 hours and I'm only level 7 in each of the four infantry classes. #WTF.

Yeah, that grind to level 10 on each class is just no fun at all. It was pretty reasonable at launch; maybe a little too quick. I'm kicking myself to playing so much Medic instead of Assault, though. I got the crummy Selbstlader 1906 while Assaults got the Helriegel.

Reduce gas nades for 2 to 1.
Thank fucking god.
lol they are still nerfing the Hellriegel. They are just going to delete it at this rate.

These are all good changes.
This is a bad, needless change.
To me, the worst thing a game can do is be incosistent. When you are constantly changing how a gun works, you are essentially changing something we have spent hours mastering. It discourages mastering weapons and turns people off because the guns all of a sudden dont behave like they did yesterday. The Hellriegal is just a pain in the ass to control now. And they are going to nerf it even more. Great!
Right. it's pretty much essential in taking down tanks as Support. I only have one light anti tank grenade and a crossbow/satchet to take it out and sometimes im the only one trying to take it out. Again, this is DICE fixing the wrong thing while trying to fix a different problem. They have fixed the main problem already by limiting gas grenades to 1 and increasing the explosion time by almost a second on every grenade. That is more than enough.
By adding these limits on recharge times on grenades, they have inadvertently made Tanks OP. This is why you dont make so many changes so fast. All they had to do was limit gas grenades to 1 and increase the explosion time. That is it.

If they continue to nerf the Hellriegel I'll probably have to switch to the Automatico.
btw, I've just opened three Enhanced Battelpacks and got three Squad XP Boosts

OMG. I just read this again and they are trying to fix grenade spam by automatically resupplying grenades every 30 seconds. You will never run out of grenades. You dont need Support to resupply anymore. How fucking stupid is this?
This is what the DICE dev had to say:
I dont even know wtf they must be thinking when they added this. This is the most bizarre fucking thing i have ever seen. Reduce grenade spam by making grenades resupply every 30 seconds without ammo crates. This cant be real. What am I missing?
This is what the DICE dev had to say:
Example: Let's say that the passive resupply of the single frag grenade is 30 seconds. If you are spending 1s in the area of an ammo crate you'll shorten that time with 3s (if my math isnt shoddy
On the flipside - if you throw your grenade, and stay alive, but don't enter any crate radii for the full duration of 30s, you'll get a new grenade.

They have to be kidding us. WTF

So grenades automatically regenerate now? What was the thought process behind this? I seriously feel that 90% of my deaths already come from random grenades and other one shot kills that I have no way of anticipating.
