*** Battlefield 1 ***

Got the revolution edition for £38, big learning curve for me with this game so far but enjoying it.

The start up weapons are absolute garbage which didn't help, found my self leaning towards scout class which is one I usually avoid too. The 1895 russian is a beast :)

Your be surprised. Some of the starting weapons are some of the best in the game. The Automatico M1918 Trench and MP 18 trench are beasts.
 
MP18 isn't too bad, the automatico I really didn't get on with, too much recoil.

Really enjoying the m1907 SL sweeper though.

Automatico is a spam machine for in close, its been turned down slightly from what it was, had stupid accuracy for hip firing at one point.
 
Is anyone getting some bad latency variation and/or packet loss recently? I don't know if it's one of the most recent updates but I've been getting rubber banding as a result and it's getting me killed. Battlefield is the only online game where I get such issues and my connection seems fine when I run speedtest. It's a Sky fibre wired connection (albeit through powerline networking) so I can't see why I should be having these issues. Does anyone know of a fix?

Anyone tell me wtf that was all about? Was on a decent little 30+ streak with the arty truck then all of a sudden the above happens. Exited and re-entered the truck, was blacked out on foot as well. At the end of the round the stats and stuff show up, next round starts and its blacked out again. :confused:

I would put this down to some angsty admin possibly doing something in the console commands but i don't think anything like that exists, it was a dice official server as well so no clue what was going on. :confused:

Picked this up a couple of days ago, great fun! Will add my name to the spreadsheet when I'm not at work - username is MakhairaUK

Mostly playing Medic and Scout so far. I appear to excel at being an utterly awful pilot too!

I've always been terrible at flying in BF games. I never use them. I think it's because I never took the time to customize my m/k for flying.
 
Justice for using the Arty truck and not PTFOing? :D


Hard to get near flags with it too often as its very weak. Anyway its artillery which is meant to be from a bit of a range. I've never seen that happen before which is why I'm guessing it was some random admin command that did it.
 
Has anyone run into a player with the name "[kek]slav3rsave3r" (yes leet speak inspired name from a decade ago), round after round this guy seems to get utterly stupid kill streaks, 60-70 plus usually at a minimum and it doesn't seem to matter if hes in a tank, on foot or in the air. Just seems unlikely someone would be that well rounded in all aspects.

Been in the same server with him quite a few times over recent months and its the same story every time.
 
Not sure what you are getting at with that video Hazard, looks perfectly legitimate to me.... :D

Is it a tribute to the fact that he clubbed and killed me first?

The only person near me is DragiOoO (who is behind me and in the squad). No sight of the Pfutzge guy at all. And yet 3 squad members dead
 
I'm really enjoying medic and support classes.

What's the best rifle for medic? I'm using and liking the Selbstadler 1916 Factory, bit slow for CQB but does some really nice medium and long range snipes. Is any particular gun a stand out in this class?

It depends. In CQC, the autoloading 8 .35 models have unrivaled time to kill in 1v1, however they're a 3 shot kill with only 5 rounds in the mag, so you're going to get into trouble quickly if you're not good with your sidearm. If your accuracy isn't mlg, then the guns with more rounds are more likely your thing, but they need even more hits and have a higher time to kill.

Skanic (a pro player and symthic regular) rates the guns as such:

1. Model 8 Factory/marksman
2. Mondragon Storm
3. Rigotti Trench
4. Mondragon Sniper

M1916 is a good gun too, I have a 3.4 KPM with it.
Mondragon Storm I have 2.8 KPM.
 
Thanks for that site, never seen it before.

Interesting to see the stats.

Also Skanic has more KPM with the M1916 but prefers other guns? I wonder why?

Don't trust his KPM. He runs around with the syringe and whips out his gun when needed to pad his KPM.
 
Do you guys all play HC by the way?

No. IMO hardcore hasn't been viable in BF since maybe BC2. The whole range/number of bullets to kill balance is just completely screwed up, you might as well just run around with a revolver. In bf3/4 it was at it's worse on any non infantry only server as while the enemy are map blind, In a tank/IFV you can run around with INVR/FLIR and essentially wall hack your way though the game. Get a decent repper and the lack of auto repair is irrelevant. BF just isn't balanced for HC. Classic mode is Ok though.

If you want a more realistic sim look at squad or even ARMA
