Tunnel Vision

"What can one do" - resupply or heal teammates for 3500 score in one round.

Am I missing a trick? I've tried solidly and managed about 2000 but can't see any room to make up the rest.

The Madden MG is pretty crap and I don't need the extra 75 coins but I like to try and complete all the challenges.

.
Likewise, I got to about 2000, though wasn't totally focused the whole round.
I think you would literally have to spend the whole game hunkered down at a pinch point throwing out med packs and ignoring dying people and not bothering to shoot the enemy... and even then it'll be a tough ask.
Anyway, it's only a side mission worth 75 credits (I have 110,000 credits!) So I think I'll skip it...

I tried an entire round of medic and support as squad leader so I had the added benefit of dropping supplies and that was my ~2000. I've got 305,585 coins so not desperate for the money, I just like the challenges. Can't see a way to do this one though.

That said I have a 500-9000 ping today as I've had to resort to 3G rather than my usual 4G so it's pretty unplayable.

Chapter 5: Pacific Theatre due on the 31st.

For the first time ever I'm coveting one of the paid for outfit bundles, the Halloween one is pretty cool, not £14 cool though, especially when I've got 350,000 credits in game and nothing interesting to spend them on.

The whole paid content thing removes the thing I've always loved about the Battlefield series, finding, unlocking and earning all the toys. Shame.

totally I don't like paying for things unless its the likes of maps.

I cant get a decent gun in "Assault" I use a varied amount in firestorm - come to use them in other multiplayer modes and find them crap

or your playing style is different to whats 'required' in the other modes. The turner smle, stg 44 and the 1-5 are all good assault class guns

It would be nice if they put a little effort into reducing the number of hackers in game first. The game often feels like the team with the best cheater wins.

stg 44 with the odd 2x sight is strangely accuate, the Breda is also good but you need to get the burst on target. For in your face rushing i like the 1907 SF with the nyadr sight - spray and pray

not sure what platform your on but on ps4, you can tell who the mouse + keyboard players are, then the modded controller lot followed but us mere mortals but yeah, coming up against a non normal controller player is annoying.

PC - there are not many 'obvious' cheats (I.e. stand at back head shots across the map), but it's amazing how many lone wolves can clear an entire squad off a flag with 1 clip and nothing but headshots whilst under fire from the entire squad....

On the plus side once it's down you can play "dress the soldier" on the new factions and mess around with your weapons setup again.

Spent my first in-game coins today, I bought a haircut, what have I become?

The new guns are very good.

Firestorm is great when you get a good team and work together its addictive tbh. I think you have to know the map a little better and get used to tactics people use also. Like hide in trees etc

New maps are 'lovely' but im finding in their attempt to make it so 'pretty', the game suffers from moments of 'lag' spiking and watching people run at a distance is akin to Super Mario of the 90's running about.

Theyve also removed the bomb aiming recticle on the new map planes (which now have 6 levels as opposed to 4) so it seems getting a bomb strike is near on impossible now. If they are in the other maps, it shouldnt be too hard to level them up.

Also the 12g shotgun seems to have had its power upgraded and is now a 1 shot kill gun.

This is partly why I've given up on the game.
