Not worth it.

Actually, the single player campaign is OK but the online bit is very ordinary - especially compared to BF1.

backrow wrote:Yeah, COD ww2 just is not as good as bf1 based on the first 3 single player missions. Crap AI , you can only sprint for 4 steps , and ultra linear maps - yawn

I realise that it's not realistic, but I like doing it.

Played BF4 a few moths ago and kept trying this. It's amazing how quickly you adapt to a certain movement scheme.

Nolanator wrote:Speaking of WW2, what do you reckon BF2018 will be when they tease it next month?

It has to be WW2 for me. I know COD just did it, but a current gen BF WW2 game would be ridiculous. Take the BF1 formula and apply it to WW2. You'd have some ridiculous operations and war stories. D-Day landings, Normandy breakout, Battle of the Bulge, Battle of Britain, Pacific Island hopping (Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima etc), Midway, Pearl Harbour, North Africa, Monte Casino, Stalingrad.
You'd get to fly Lancasters, B17s, Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmidts, Mustangs. Drive Shermans, Tigers, Panzers. So many iconic guns like the Tommy Gun, M1 Garand, BAR, StG44, MP40, Lee Ennfield, Springfield, Sten.

In BF4 you could call in a cruise missile in commander mode. Maybe don't have the same things as it wasn't that popular, but some way of calling in a V1/V2 bombardments would be cool.


It would be stupidly good fun.


Hah, snap, NPB.

BF2018 will be playable at EA Play in June, so it'll be revealed before then. BF1 was revealed in early May 2016, so we'll probably see an ad in a couple of months.

The rage people feel towards Snipers or campers as they are called is very odd. You do not tear around the map with a sniper rifle. I didnt realise sniping was considered poor form!

You have to select them instead of a flare or gas tripwire? Is that correct? Are they worth it?

need a friendly support player to keep you stocked up so you can keep a rain of death going, particularly on the lorries which you can damage badly even with only 5 bullets. best and wait until vehicle is nice and in the open, so they can't hide without you picking them off.

also great at taking out airship gondolas and aircraft engines.

most maps benefit with a support pouch with telescopic gun sight and crossbow & iron sight k bullet sniper combo - on support can keep 3 snipers going easy (also works on assault and rocket guns, handy for taking out behemoths)

Yeeb, didn't they nerf the AT rocket ammo reload from pouches with one of the recent upgrades? They nerfed something for sure - may have been grenades.

thank feck he only designed Playstation 4's in the 1970's, rather than played on them !

Yep.

If you're playing longer range then they're more valuable than tripwires. You only get 5 of them so use them to harry vehicles as it interrupts the auto-repair (auto repair by the driver is stops if the vehicle takes damage) and allows your assault team mates to finish them off. K bullets don't do that much damage individually, so you're unlikely to solo a tank as sniper. They will finish off vehicles if you time it right after others have done like 90% or more damage.

Tripwires are only really worth it if you're playing aggressively close to objectives. Drop them in harder to see spots like in bushes of piles of debris along obvious routes that enemies will use. If they're in the middle of a clear path people will just shoot them. In the middle of objectives also works because enemies are preoccupied with your team mates, but the random grenade spam will usually clear the tripwires out first.

I'd never play scout without one spotting gadget, they're too valuable for you and your team. Pretty much free points that add up over a round, too.

Good call, though.


You can replenish grenades with the ammo pouch, it just takes time. There's a little.scroll wheel that fills up of you stand stationary on a crate or pouch and when it's full you get the grenade back.

It would have been interesting if you actually sunk a bit into the mud as Paschendaele was such a mud hell hole.

Anyway, I'm going to trying the '100 resupplies in a round' thing this weekend so that could be dodgy. I think the best I've done is 20 but I've never really actively tried before - I just throw them at Yeeb when he yells at me for ammo.

Handy tip for that one Tae, play operations in Fort Vaux. Equip both the large and small ammo crates/pouches. Can get it done pretty quickly. Just chuck the pouches out like skittles and leave the crates at choke points. Pretty much the same for the healing allies for 600 points or whatever it was.
