I'm surprised they aren't raising the level cap. In BF4 they increased it by 10 every DLC. They did the same for Battlefront. I mean I'm only 85 so I still have awhile to go, but I'm just curious because they have always done it.

Wad? They will raise it by 10. This has been confirmed.

Has Dice commented at all on the medal system? It is just awful in its current state. I'd like it more if they set like three medals each week and you can work toward all three concurrently. Each medal could have a specific award levels. Like, let's say one of the medals is to get a certain amount of headshots. 50 headshots in a week would net you a normal battlepack, 100 headshots would give you an enhanced battlepack, and 150 would give you a superior battlepack.

As it stands now, I have basically no motivation to work for medals since the rewards seem pretty pathetic for how long they take to unlock.

Arg whats the point of even releasing the maps on the 14th in Australia when you're not going to put them up until 10PM? Then having to wait forever to download them off PSN?!

Played two matches of Frontlines. It's pretty fun. If you ever played Supremacy in Battlefront it's pretty much that, but with two objectives you have to arm at the end.

The matches can be really good or bad depending on the team. For instance, the first match was almost 30 minutes long. It was just a lot of back and forth. However, my second matched sucked it was only 6 minutes because nobody understands how to play it really.
 
It feels like the nade and explosive spam is worse. I'm playing Frontline, so that maybe it. Fort whatever is a clusterfuck on Frontline, Metro 1918.

Oh, the new music is good. Love that piano.

"KOSB" is fucking horrible.

TWO FUCKING HOURS to reach the Rush portion of Chain Reaction. Only for them to give the attaackers 39 tickets.

You know what happens when those tickets run out?

BACK TO CHAIN REACTION.
 
I just had a 140 minute long Frontline match...
1.0


We pushed them back to their final base, but we couldn't get the last mcom. Eventually my team just said fuck it, and let them push all the way back and win. I had like 130 kills with +50k score. Some guy on my squad had 240 kills...lol

I also played against levelcap
he kicked our ass.

The Lewis gun is quite possibly the worst weapon I've ever used in any Battlefield game. This challenge is painful.

Just wait until you have to get headshots with the MP18.

Oke. Giving the attackers on Verdun 4 elite classes after they lost a battalion is abit to much. I am fine with a tank a train etc. But to have 4 of those guys running arround on a infantery map is no fun. No normal gun fights then.

Rounds in this gamemode can go on forever. Dice need to do something about this.

Also 32 players is to much in this mode. 24 would be way better.

Use the bipod, makes it a little bit better. Although it is still a pea-shooter...

I don't like any other MG than Lewis Gun Lightweight. The belt-fed one overheats which i keep mistaking for an empty belt and start reloading too soon, BAR doesn't offer bipod option (and i most certainly don't want anything other than iron sights) and neither does that one odd MG with rigid "belt" or clip or whatever it is. Haven't tried that MG with upside down magazine but frankly it doesn't look like it'd offer me anything over Lewis.

I like finding a good place with the Lewis, set the bipod and let loose. With some aiming, headshots are reasonably easy. Doesn't do great in CQB though, not without some luck.
I use AA sights with 1.5 magnification.
Have some 2000 kills with already, more than with any other weapon...

(I would welcome a buff, it seems Lewis has fastest damage drop-off any MG and probably should be reduced or tweaked.)

What i really don't like about the Support is how poor the mortar feels. It has limited ammo, slow projectiles, meh damage, accuracy penalty if firing in a row, long cooldown post-use. The HE version feels especially weak.
 
So I really like the Chauchat and RSC 1917. These are really fun weapons. Slow firing, but packs a punch. They also have some of the best animations in the game. They are just extremely satisfying to use, two shotting people feels amazing. The Selb 1906 should have been like the RSC.

Now for some bitching. Fuck this MP18 20 headshot bullshit. Why they fuck would you make a challenge for getting headshots with a smg? It makes no sense at all. 5 to 10 headshots I could maybe understand, but fucking 20? It's just fucking luck due to all the fucking random bullet deviation. It's a fucking dumbass challenge.

Played counquest on all mpas twice. I really like Fort Vaux, feels like Metro but different/many ways to go. Really also liked Soissont. The others are okay

Yup I've also enjoyed playing with RSC

Second Operation on Verdun is pretty crappy also. Just to much choke point and at the end you need to run up a hill with no cover and they even have big field guns lol.
