I starting to think "What's the point?" when it comes round to DLC maps. The situation isn't quite as bad as Hardlines where all new content servers were basically only full for around 2 weeks after release after which there weren't enough people to get a server going, but it's not far off. Just look how few people are playing CTE, and that gives you a good idea as to how many people will be playing the new content after a month or so. The DLC paywall barrier is destroying the community.

I do wonder if all EA games will go the route of the new Star Wars Battlefront 2, ditching the paid for DLC expansions with free ones in an effort not to split the player base.
 
What way is it the expansions work in terms of vehicles? I was playing on st quentin last night and someone was running around with the assault tank from the french addon, would have thought ti was only playable on the expansion maps not stock ones. :confused:
 
After feeling like my game's been running pretty awful recently, I checked and that stupid Xbox DVR had re-enabled itself - switched it off and the game was feeling nice and smooth again last night.

Hadn't noticed the FPS drop as I'd removed FRAPS a while ago, I was constantly looking at my FPS rather than concentrating on the game :rolleyes:

Good games tonight thanks. Much better in a squad.

The game can be like pulling your own fingernails playing on your own, but some gg's last night, I think it was a clean sweep (again).
Sidewinder was getting some love from the natives, and there were a few moans about my shotgun usage.

Do you mind if I don't? :p

Ah yeah that's it :)

Playing in a squad is the only way to do it IMO, it makes for great games.

4 straight wins for me last night. Dire K/D of 0.75 though! In my defence I am trying out being a medic for the first time though.
 
Am I just getting worse at this game or are the battlepack distributions getting rarer, hardly getting one now. Traded all my camos in for everything to try and get premium battlepacks to get more puzzle pieces. Only built the sawtooth but have 4/5 for everything else.
 
It's very different, I need to get out of the mindset of playing solo and making a beeline for enemy players... and getting killed repeatedly..... and then getting very mad.....

Can't you just spend scraps on the puzzle piece rather than gamble on getting one in a battlepack?


I don't know if the servers were being updated again last night, but from one server to the next it was night/day as far as hit reg was concerned. Quickly going from 1 for 10 on one server in the first couple of mins to 10 for 1 on the next. Tuesdays are the day they update though.
 
Tis a lot of scraps, 5000 per piece, I've been quite successful actually in getting to 4/5 for everything but you can't trade scraps for certain knives at any point. At the moment you can only trade scraps for the Bartek club.
 
got this the other day in the origin sale, so far I think its the worst BF game to date...
too many tanks/planes, and a lot of spawn killing.. 64 players on a map is too many imo

infantry only with 24 per map would be better, dunno if that is an option! I've not really looked..

Think I was on with you guys also, Spils_uk. Hazard was there I had to revive him a lot :p

Thanks for the revives, you and Andy saved me many times in the last couple of days..

TBH though, I've been having a horror show since Tuesday. Completely random from one server to the next long kill streaks followed by long spawn death streaks. It's partly poor server balance, partly teams who just sit back and snipe but still don't actually spot or give you cover when you try to push (coupled with a competent defense), and partly variable hit reg. Last week, Sidewinder and I barely lost a game.

Hoping for a change of pace this evening, the Friday night servers tend to have a higher caliber of team support..

Edit: I should also point out, that we try to give squad priority to people on Discord (whether or not they're wearing clan tags), incase anyone feels they've been unfairly kicked from a squad. It's not personal. If we end up with more than 5 on Discord we try to form more than one squad.
