hehe Just prefer not to waste five mags on some clown running around like a NOOB.
IF you aim abit better then you wont waste so much ammo... why do you think i like playing as a support person hehe

If you want insta-drop, you have to fight fire with fire and play on out of region servers or hope you dont get some scando's in your server.

Itll be interesting to see what the updates bring to the game on the 4th. But at the moment, im not seeing this game having longevity for me

Still broken on loading into a game, since the last big update, if i squad join then it gives me an error cant find the host, so have to input the server number into the search manually or keep joining/leaving the squad until it lets me in.

Also, my chat box has disappeared and wont turn back on even though its switched on in the options

Softer??? wink
I'm surprised you don't sit at the back of the map with judge in a tank and protect the kd ratio the

Tape - mine didn't track it either correctly and I didn't do it in sequence (that I know of), and stop got the gun. The mg42 is alot better anyway so don't worry if you miss out

Think you need to be squad leader to call in the airstrike for it to count. Though i had to call one in twice to get the helmet.

So when the game was released, thought it was st but its grown on me and im 'liking' it now, though the slower time to kill is wk. Hopefully suppression will come back in where someone is properly suppressed so they cant shoot back properly.

Day time playing seems to have better hit registration and last night, one round was shocking last night, first half of the game insta-dropped/couldnt do a single thing without dying then all of a sudden, drop 5-10 in a row (MG42 defending D on Fjell by laying down) and started insta-killing people.

Also, starting to think that Hamada might be one of the best maps in the game as it has a mix of everything though i still prefer the CQB maps as it suits my gaming style

with the 'new' ie going back to original TTK (which i cant figure out if its been implemented or not yet), can you tell me what a hardcore mode would offer?

Could you imagine how long the game would last if there was no time limit?

Where do all those unexploded, tossed just before death, grenades go?

They fixed this in BF4 and BF1, why reintroduce the problem again in BFV?

I also think they should make it possible to pick up the grenades that take 20 seconds before they explode and throw them again.
You can. Go near them and it'll tell you what to press to rethrow it

you mean they revived each other alot?

ive noticed that on some servers i seem to have a good connection, change to a different one and it just goes to pot.

I also prefer the running and gunning type of maps and game modes as prefer the more aggressive nature of the game then. Running around flag to flag on wide open maps = boring as fk

Apparently an update is due for release soon with a netcode update....

Had 4 games just a moment ago;
1st game rage quit
2nd game was shocking then a few people left
3rd game blasted it
4th game blasted it

So odd how servers or games can change if some people leave

I think it really needs new maps soon as the maps are getting a bit boring & repeated alot
"Then, at some point during the period January to March, Battlefield 5 gets co-op Combined Arms and two game modes: a revamped Rush and Squad Conquest.

Then, starting in March, Battlefield 5 gets the aforementioned Firestorm and the Greece map"

Apparently you can cheat on PS4 as well, im yet to believe but have been told that you can boot and ban people from servers, cause games to crash along with the normal 1 shot/1 kill, through the map bullst.

Though i dont get how some players can go 50+k/5 D's even if they are constantly revived that still a tall order especially when everyone is has half the kills etc.

One of the guys i play with was complaining that a plane kept on getting him the other day, every time the plane flew over, zap he was insta dead. Another, when he joined the game, caused the frame rates to drop though some are saying they are getting 1 fps stuff going on then get booted from the game as well

Not sure whether I'm happy that Im now finding productive things to do around the house or sad that my favourite gaming franchise has died!
Im the same as well, on the other BF series i could just pick it up and play solo, now i look to see if anyone is playing and decide from there.

Though i think as i like to talk on comms, it could also be the reason why my interest is waning.

Was chatting to someone the other day, they said their kid brother plays the game with a mouse and keyboard (on ps4), and you know the people who go 48-5 scorelines, hes one of them due to the mouse.

I played some "Fortress" today and found it quite fun, nice and intense due to everyone being funnelled into one place.
i think the cry babies are the ones who only like to play conquest where they can run around in circles, protecting their k/d ratio tbh

I presume there's a world of people who compare this stuff to boost their egos but it's never been something that's bothered me unless I have to do something very specific for an unlock.

That said I do like to rank up and that's usually my incentive to keep playing, of course everyone is level 50 these days so it's not an issue.
Yep, used to play with some until they disappeared to play the fortnite type game. Very rarely would they venture out of Conq .

I much prefer the game mode where it can go either way but it is a long game and if the sides arent even, its pretty ste. Dont get me wrong im not fussed by k/d and will rush to the front but it starts to grate if nobody else is.

Was playing with some the other night on mic, they was 'laughing' at me as i havent unlocked/got past level 13 sniper yet - not my style of play so doing it all now
