Miss read it, they don't do max damage until 40meters. (Damage is 80 up to 20m and then increases to 100 at 40m).

I dont really know enough about bullets and damage, is that maybe because up close the snipers bullet hits with such speed that it travels through the body "cleanly" and does less damage than at its optimal range?

The 60mph tanks I commented on from viewing the alpha also made an appearance. I agree some people might get bored with them being historically slow but theyre like invincible heavily armed sports cars, they sprint in and not many people can deal with them so they just wreck.

Sorry but 60mph tanks? If you mean a single light tank that's barely faster than a running foot-soldier then you might be closer to the truth. Try getting in one and seeing how fast it really is. The amount of Hyperbole going around about tanks makes for some funny reading.

Does anyone have an issue with this where the game freezes for about 5 seconds every 5 mins or so?

I have 2 PC's and it only happens on the one with Win7 running a GTX 770 on latest drivers.

I guess they could argue that, but it's primarily a game mechanic to prevent sniper rifles being used as shotguns in close quarters for a 1 hit kill.

Was rank 3 I think if I recall correctly (class rank, not your level..there are two levelling systems, your level and your class rank). Possibly was rank 2, certainly 2 or 3 though. You buy it with your warbonds once you have the right class rank

Misschief - We'll have to give the BF2/2142 Revive a bit of a go, gameplay looks to be great

I would be totally down with that!

You can buy anything at class rank 0 from the loadout section of https://www.battlefield.com/en-gb/career

I suspect that for the full release you will need to have gained the right class rank, but for the moment with the glaring bug where you only gain class progression for the first round you play on a server, they may have deliberately allowed people to circumvent this. Or it's another bug (feature).

Might jump on for another try tonight, the game defo felt more enjoyable yesterday afternoon once I had got the better guns.

Just the map is now a bit boring.

I'm going to play util the end of the beta until I make my mind up about buying. Do join us, it's much more fun with the squad banter

Josh · 1 Sep 2016 at 11:13

Double post.

Josh · 1 Sep 2016 at 11:14

I'll be catching up on GBBO before hand, it was Biscuit week, can't believe I missed Biscuit week for "No Contact to EA Online".

Not a happy camper!

I'll be on - it's a free demo in my eyes so might as well play it.

Have you got a link to the discord server? For some reason it disappeared from my account

Trying to force myself to like BF1, just because I know eventually BF4 will slowly drop in popularity.
