Can't remember it's name but it's the one where the action can flow either way as you fight over 1 point then plant 2 bombs

Was that frontlines? I enjoyed that one. I also miss war pigeons from BF1.


The new map is a lot of fun. I wish we had more of them instead of firestorm. Also that new sniper rifle can get fked.

Has Panzer storm gone too?

Finally picked this back up last week after a few months off it. Not because I miss the game, but frankly the Xbox is thin on options at the moment! Doesn't seem like a lot has changed. Still buggy as hell, low on content even with the new map. Seems to be a fair bit of new content for those with cash to buy them though. £35 for 6000 BF points seems a little steep too!

yep, front lines has disappeared.

no, panzerstorm is still in rotation.

As for the new sniper rifle, not sure if theyve nerfed it in the update but i seem to shoot through people and not get any hit markers etc

Oh FFS, they did exactly the same with the recent grenade launcher / gun combo you had to play to unlock. I got the APR upgrade yesterday but haven't actually used the gun since due to other challenges.

I did change the scope on the Boy though, totally forgot you could do that, made life a lot easier!

The current challenge was easy enough but all that for a penknife?

It's also about time they brought over some of the Firestorm stuff into the main game, I want tractors I csn drive, not just hide next to.

I'm not really 'feeling' this game. Much preferred BF1 and BF4 before it.

With a new COD:MW being announced, will we be seeing a return to the modern era with BF?

Rumour has it that the next installation is to be Bad Company 3 and 5 was a rush job in order to focus on something more modern.

Liking the buff to the commando carbine, also used the bren for the first time proper to unlock TOW award. It's not too bad, the large magazine to the right still annoys me though!

You earn all these points but they seem pointless.

Does anyone know anyone stupid enough to spend actual, real money on those "elite" kits that they are promoting every time I switch the game on?

Wouldn't mind if you could trade in the original company coins for these BFC ones.... I have something like 70,000 CC because I have no interest in changing the facepaint on my soldier... after all, its not like I even get to see it in game!

I thought you could at one point unlock a TOW Gun by using CC but they seemed to have put a stop to that.

Was playing around with the boys toy last night, so the armour piercing rounds currently dont do any damage to the tanks, but will damage a half track. However, APR rounds will take out a wall with the resulting explosion. So its kinda nice on Breakthrough where some snipers hiding in a building and boom, no more building.

Shame its just so slow to reload and not seeing used as much anymore

I didn't think people were daft enough to spend even more real money on this stuff but the other day I got a bit of a shock when a leprechaun was running alongside me wittering away in the worst Irish accent I've heard in a while, I've also heard some other unusual voices out there too so people are obviously gullible.

I think I've got something like 210,000 CC at the moment and I've spent some on the gun / vehicles upgrades as you level up - outfits etc are very much limited to the ones you get by playing the game because you only see it at the loading screen anyway and it's unlikely any fashion talent scouts are going to be playing BFV and offer me a job at Gucci on the basis of how I've mixed up various unlocks.

I've always preferred having to play for something that gives me an advantage over those that don't bother, now you can just spend BFC to skip things or buy items that are unobtainable to those of us who actually put time into this game. It's basically Apartheid for gaming.

there is actually some decent vehicle skins that havent been promoted for about 20k company coin (not as good as last tiger, but different in a good way)

am currently getting all weapons/tanks to level 4 (i hate planes and cant fly) so that they all max upgraded - just because

The idea of in game purchases has sealed my deal on now skipping this title. With 2000 hours combined on 3 and 4 it’s a real shame

Do any of you still play either on Xbox?

I would say that would be a shame as whilst it’s currently light-ish they appears to be more coming and what there is not bad and can be quite epic, with spitfires and V1s It took a while for BF1 to get off the ground.

Does it have traditional hardcore mode with lower health and not able to drive/fly in 3rd person?
