Quick question with unlocking stuff. I'm rank 8, I go to select a new weapon that's unlocked at rank 2/3 and says I don't have the required rank to unlock this weapon. Is this a glitch or have I completely missed something?

Took me a while to work it out but the rank it is referring to is the rank within that class of player rather than your overall global player rank.

confusing. It took me until about rank 12 or 13 to unlock rank 1 of the assault class (and get the epic shotgun!!)

Ah fiddlesticks I keep pushing "right" and it keeps putting on my gasmask FFS... About 5 times now I've gone to AT Grenade a light tank only to put on a gas mask and get run down.

amen!

try running to A base from B without getting sniped is just impossible.

Id say 90%of my deaths are from snipers sitting on the outskirts. yes that's how sniping works but thats not how you PTFO!!!

So if your pinned back by said Sniper and cant escape, it means his buddies are able to capture the remaining flags.

I do hope your never on my team

Apparently the beta has a glitch where you can choose any loadout you want on battlefield.com and it gets applied in the game - I haven't tried it but thought I'd share in case it works and any of you want to play with the unlocks.

The beauty of the BF series is that there is always an effective counter to everything except good teamwork. If you're getting outsniped, wait for the bomber to spawn in your base, take it and bomb the sh!t out of the campers, then bail out over the top of them and stab them all in the back!

Or wait for a tank to spawn and go out in that blasting away.

Another tip I've learned is to swap squads when you die to one where people are outside of the trap, then swap back to your original squad to allow the rest of your squad mates to spawn on you.

Yup, the beauty, and horror, of BF games is teamwork. If your enemy is working as a team, you are f***ed. If your team is working as a team, the game can be a hell of a delight. If both teams are working well, it is just so good.

If your team do not bother working as a team, you won't get revived, you won't get ammo, you won't take objectives.... It really does stand and fall on your team.

Didn't get a chance to play last night as the OH insisted we actually do some stuff together like watch a film, doesn't she realise the world is at stake?

Was hoping to try out all those lovely new sniper rifles that I unlocked with the mobile app trick posted on this thread but alas it wasn't to be. Should be on tonight to hopefully give Royce44 and others some more sniping grief. Keep your heads down b*tches!

I struggled to spot any real difference between the rifles other than one is faster loading but not as powerful - didn't they have scope choices back in those days?

I think it's great.

Played rush on xbox last night, and a German tank was dominating. Managed to take it out with one of the Anti Tank guns and get 3 kills. Loved the loading animation for the shells.

Also had a session as a rear gunner, great fun.

A few glitches, but it is a beta.

It's a definate purchase for me.

Edit - Although i'd like to be able to use an SMLE without the scope. Hopefully in the full game.

That was a foregone conclusion for me - pre-ordered as soon as it was possible to do so...

Hmm that doesn't sound good. Previous iterations have had real differences in effective range, bullet speed, damage and even weight\feel of the gun plus of course the scopes. Admittedly these seemed to get nerfed with each iteration of BF until in BF4 they started to become very samey. Will be disappointed if this is the case with BF1 too.

There are differences in bullet drop and power at ranges as shown in a graph with each sniper. It's just a case of the 3 you start with aren't that different.

Oooooooooh, that makes sense now cheers!

Odd bug if you try and change your loadout while in a game, the back button (circle) doesn't seem to work despite the icon flashing and you get stuck in the menus.

Also finding that things I've unlocked can't be selected, I wanted to try the flamethrower tank out but can't seem to equip it, either that or other users can steal the vehicles while you are fannying around trying to change options.

Just went 38-2 thanks to some gratuitous tank whoring though

I certainly can't seem to unlock everything but I have unlocked some things, perhaps I could have done that anyway, I'm still trying to get my head around how it works in this respect.

I was still able to unlock nearly everything last night using the warbond trick on the mobile website mentioned earlier in this thread.

I had a funny glitch on the horse, swapped over to the sword but he kept the gun in arm. So he just battered the guy about the head with it..

Well I can unlock things but when I equip them they don't work i.e. guns.....

Though today my sniper rifle fired, so that was a bonus...

[AlexHat]

I had a weird glitch last night with my sniper rifle not able to zoom in until I died and respawned...then it worked as normal!
