nice meme

St Quentin Scar is a recycle bin classic
Everything else looks alright, though.

Fuck both of you I like Amiens. I don't get the hate for it, I like the fact that all the engagements aren't from 30+ yards away for once.

Horse Superiority when

Artillery Truck will never be nerfed.
Feels good man.

it allows campers to thrive.

casuals shouldnt be rewarded for a shit tactic

I made the list, I detested it at first, but acknowledged that it's not all terrible by moving it up to mediocre
At least it has flanking routes, compared to the merciless tube that is Suez

>complains about campers
>in battlefield: flaming gas of fucking explosions edition

what are you talking about

13th for nobody gives a fuck about your retarded idea for 'realistic' battlefield

Amiens
Ballroom Blitz
Argonne Forest
Monte Grappa
Empire's Edge
Sinai Desert
Fao Fortress
St. Quentin Scar
Suez

but user nothing in this game feels better than chucking a gas nade inside a house filled with campers and then sweeping the room clear with your hellriegel

>Argonne Forest being that high
>Being above Empire's Edge

Oh I actually didn't include it at all, imagine it were in mediocre

the list is from worst to best

>Suez being the best

why havent you joined yet

>amiens being the best

that group doesn't really work since you can't even see who's online or playing battlefield

you're better off just adding me as a friend on psn t. spetse

Are you on eu? If you're on aus/asia we can squad up

i am from eu but when im not busy with stuff i'm on pretty early, if you want to play just send me a friend request and i'll accept it whenever i get back home

FYI you can melee boats back into the water if you're just trying to get boat kills for the dog tag and your stupid piece of shit mestizo rape baby teammates keep driving it onto the fucking shore.

ill add you when i get a new mic

this is also a necessary tactic for when you're defending on fao operations and the enemy's stupid piece of shit mestizo rape babies drive it up to your team

by taking it and driving it away, you deny the enemy a critical spawn point. you can also use it to destroy the behemoth if the enemy's got it

You don't really need a mic for this game, unless it's raids like in Destiny
It's already assumed if one were to squad up he/she's a competent/semi-competent player & know what they're doing & not absolute retards like in pubs.

I'm in Aus.
Who are you in bfg group?

>Aus with EU
Wouldn't you get shit pings if you play with them?

>Are you on eu? If you're on aus/asia we can squad up
I thought they were implying there were in the aus/asia region.
Or did I read that wrong?

Haven't join the group but just add me, dane342. I'll be playing in a couple hours cause going out to get a quadruple pro.
I added Igenocidaal_slut too so maybe we could play later.

Cool, I'll be playing later too.
I can't believe you 100% Valkyria Chronicles

>tfw too intelligent to play scout

>scout would be good if you didn't have to take a shit primary

>checking people's profile
I bet you like molesting as well, weirdo

tfw Valkyria Chronicles 4 never

>shit primary
>80 - 90 damage up close
>in a game with instant melee and pistol draw speeds so high that the slowest drawing pistols are on par with the fastest ones in bf4

I'd still rather A-10 or automatico.

Who else Cei-Rigotti Trench?

That's literally all I play, I just love it and didn't see the point in trying anything else., am I missing something?

>fully auto but slow enough that a single tap fires a single round so you can shoot long range without switching to semiauto
>satisfying reloading that actually makes sense, unlike the magical mag switching
>good hipfire, good with a gasmask on, good at long range with a 2x zoom
>only 10 rounds make it feel like every round counts
>strategically firing at least 5 rounds so I can put a whole clip in then stop before putting more rounds in if I need to shoot again quickly
>I still get kills with it

idk if it's the best rifle but it's satisfying as fuck

iron sights fucking suck

i wasted a whole mag trying aiming at different parts of a guy standing perfectly still ~30m away and got one hit

but otherwise it's a solid gun yeah, the high rpm and excellent hipfire makes it the best cqb medic gun that isn't utter shit outside of spitting distance

Is there a reason in particular why you keep shilling that useless gun?

the rigotti is the best 'general purpose' slr though

the rest have more specialised effective distances due to min damage, having a scope, having a trench variant and rof

>keep shilling
I never posted before, I don't even go on /v/ or Veeky Forums much. Why do you consider it useless?

I'm not generally good at aiming but somehow I don't have that problem

it was probably invisible walls or something since he was standing among some rubble

but generally speaking irons are awful since they inherited the visual recoil from bf4 before dice got rid of it

mic is good but not a necessity, i've only played with mr genocidal zlut so far but we were #1 and #2 players in pretty much every game even without having mics

Anyone want to play on PS4? I've only had the game a few days, I'm not that good yet

Those grips look fucking retarded on WWI weapons

join the group i'm on right now, psn is spetse

I've run into 3 cheaters this weekend, all 3 running mg15 suppressive. Is that the hackers gun of choice?

>soldiers will compliment you for ranking up near them
flattering

If every shot is going to be perfectly accurate, might as well have lots of ammo.

OK I will do

> best cqb medic gun
> not autoloading 8 .25 extended

Step up, nigga

Yeah, I only cared about how it affected the hip fire stats. The funny thing about BF is you can have a grip but your arms stay in the same positing, like you're not even holding it. Like they could never be bothered to make animations for grips...

Don't forget.

wew lad.

Thanks, Druchbruchmüller-samma!

just added you trying to join right now

Hey, those guys paid good money for this game. You can't tell them not to be useless pieces of shit!

Feels good being a planefag

Fuck me my name looks so awful

They really need to fix the suppression mechanic. I think its one of the buffs lmgs need rather than a damage buff.
Unfortunately, a lot of shitters complain about suppression because "Waah! I can't shoot back! properly"

They do work but they bug out sometimes. I would really want to know how to bug them out too.

Mic is pretty good to be honest, you can make a lot of callouts to your squad like whether there's a automatico guy sat on your corpse or about the tank trying to hide behind a corner.

Plus 20 player operation raids are some real fun shit.

Nope, certainly can't do that. It would make the game far too team-oriented, tactical, and perhaps a bit cerebral if someone were to go down that route with it.

yo guys genieu here sorry for playing like shit

Monte Gappa conquest is fun as hell. Argonne is utter trash, even worse than Suez. Sinai is mediocre.

Recons actually suppress far better than support. Personally I think recon should have little to no suppression whatsoever, shitters shouldn't be rewarded for missing and not being able to shoot back is a legitimate problem because it just reinforces the mentality of, "The further away I am, the more useless both of us are" that has plagued the recon class since 3. I'd love to see a day you could actually counter recons with other classes and end the hillshitter menace once and for all, but that will never happen as long as snipers have suppression, they are coddled behind a dumb rng mechanic dice tries to pass off as "tactical".

BF4 was the golden age of shiggy removal

Airburst, Mortar, UCAV + LMG suppression/double tapping fucked Recons so hard

you're almost on the right track

here's the real ranking

>great tier
Quentin
Sinai

>good tier
Fao
Ballroom
Amiens

>mediocre
Empire
Argonne
Monte Grappa

>shit
Suez

I fully agree.
The sad thing is that even Medics are better at suppressing than Support.

>bipod wasn't deployed

gun goes to center of screen and crosshair becomes small

Well well whatya know, the games just like BF4.

Get gangbanged by tanks/planes 24/7.

Suppression should never have existed at all. Complete bullshit "mechanic", same with screen shake.

casuals please go and stay go

halp Veeky Forums, I legitimately can't find a basic gun for Assault/Support that I can play with for more than 2 minutes without wanting to switch back to Medic

I just really suck at getting kills with the MP18 or Lewis

Hillshitter detected

Suppression and screen shake exist purely because of casuals. It's the ultimate casual mechanic.

real nice, now I have to dig voice overs

>like bf4
I don't know how bad it is cause haven't played bf4 but it can't be worst than bc2's heli rape.

w8 actually this one is good for getting infantry kills from a good position

BF4 is pretty much BF2 tier at this point in terms of vehicle rape

you're in one, or you're dead, """"counters"""" are nerfed to non-functioning because of whiners crying on battlelog

no they exist to make it more tactical and realistic

I miss 2142 where one shot to the rear was a blown tank.

2142 a best

except for seeker mines fuck that shit, breaks the game all by itself

Only because there was no counter outside of map size and snipers not being useless shitbags.

They should have just swapped the deathballs and emp mines: made the explosive ones stationary and visible and the emp ones be homing.

>tfw still playing bf3
>mfw I just decided to dig it up after literal years
>mfw I don't have any DLC for it
>inb4 leave

whats your battlelog

premium costs literally nothing in sales these days, not that anybody really plays dlc anymore

I played it way back on 360, no longer have 360, now playing from nothing on PC because I can't transfer

>think "hey why don't I play bf3 anymore?"
>play it
>ui for ants in 1080p
>aimbots all over the place

>needing glasses

what I'm saying is the BF3 UI scales badly. Even the loading screens don't scale up to fill the whole screen.

It's a cavalry man's paradise
