I'm trying to unlock the guns but need to destroy 5 enemy boats with the AT Rocket gun on the Assault class. No one uses boats and most of the maps don't even have them!
Do you have the Turning Tides maps?

Cape Helles is a good one for destroying boats, the attackers have to come onto land using the attack boats and landing craft so are usually easy pickings if you get a spot on the beach.
Agreed

if you only have normal maps, the Arab castle/fort map is your best bet..

I got mine on the beach in Cape Helles, lurking near the sub pen in Zeebrugge and also the lighthouse at Heligoland blight

Nowhere yet.

I'd like a physical copy but want to pre order and hopefully get all the bonus bits, I can't seem to find anywhere offering it yet though.

I pre-ordered from the PS store, not the cheapest but I can’t be bothered with a disk.

Yes I am in the same boat. Quite put out that I can get it from the PS Store right now but I want a disc and can't seem to find it for sale. El cheapo version yes but I want the Deluxe....

Thanks, I managed to get one last night. I will continue to grind - only 4 to go!.

v1.25 update now out, Apocalypse for free but they have managed to break the menu system so you can no longer just look at Operations, if you do it just throws you back to the main menu. You have to use server browser.

Anyone having issues with BF1 after the update on Xbox One? The game will no longer open for me; goes to a black screen and then within a few seconds goes back to my home screen. Tried a hard reset of the Xbox, disc clean etc. Don't really want to be messing about deleting data if I don't have to.

Edit - Even stranger, when I load up BF4, it takes me to the BF1 menu screen, complete with music!

Yeah, they've cocked it right up. Matchmaking often fails, black screen every so often, ending up on empty servers. Not had it just not open though.

I’m struggling to get on a server too. Have gone for manual search, and at any one time there appears to be only 1 or 2 servers with a decent ping and fairly full.... there are however dozens of servers with only 2-3 players on them??

Autumn update v1.27 just rolled out, some UI fixes and another fix to sort out mid-match balancing.

These seasonal updates used to bring in much more exiting things than this smile


As usual with the Battlefield games I have failed miserably in my question unlock everything, the more and more I watch all the secret Easter Egg videos and see all the special dogtags etc the more I think I should never even start trying.

I would like to get level 50 tanker before this all fades out, I doubt I'll complete the set and do cavalry too, it's too frustrating.

BFV soon though I guess....

Heard of anything particularly good? Last I saw was the Kraken sound done by ringing the bell, and the massively elaborate zombie room easter egg (that was fairly tedious to even watch on youtube, let alone trying it myself).

A few months ago I decided that i'd make sure I got to rank 100 by the time I moved to BFV - and this weekend I reached #99!
Mind you, through the last couple of years everytime I got a battlepack I seemed to get a squad bonus too (in fact, I always seems to have a surplus). However, haven't received one for ages, and in fact have exhausted my squad bonuses a while back (which hasn't helped earning the points I need)

wondered why every other match I was being switched to the losing team, 'mid match balancing' makes me no longer want to play the game. why should I push hard to win the match when im gonna lose anyway..


Also suppression seems to have been adjusted, im quite often getting a 'knock' to my aim when I get suppressed.

Got this when the EA sale was on so I've got some kind of pack. Really enjoying it so far, especially everything being unlockable for a complete n00b like me compared to BF4.
Any general tips? I'm looking at the unlocks for the perks and one of them is that I have to bayonet 5 people, is this just a case of finding a tight and twisty map, running around like a loon and pressing F when you see someone not looking at you?

The squad bonus things seem to have really dried up, at one point I had about 30 of them to use up, I haven't had one in months and don't have any currently.

As far as Easter eggs a lot have completely passed me by as I find them all really frustrating due to rotations and not having control of a server, the latest I've seen is the last of the main ones, it's "An Awakening" and involves all kinds of lunacy on the basis you've already done the previous four easter eggs.

You get a Peacekeeper handgun and some skins I think, it doesn't seem worth it but some folks have been out there sussing all of this crazy stuff out.

Seems to me they have put in some things that they created for V.....

The smoke effects on the ceiling now for example.

Just noticed BF1 in the PS Store for £3.99 if anyone still wants a bit of "retro" wink
