I generally run the rocket and anti-tank mines together when I play assault. In addition to the rocket dealing good damage to tanks, its great at taking out infantry too.
Not very impressed with the campaign. It just turns into generic, action game trying to make you feel something for the characters but I just didn't. Silly cliche dialogue.
The objectives in every story were just
It got pretty boring after a while.
The opening was cool, and the visual / audio experience was great. I didn't notice too many frame or resolution drops which was good.
I barely got any collectables or secrets or trophies but I doubt i'll really return to get any.
At least the multiplayer is fun, I only played two games of Conquest but it was great as always!
The objectives in every story were just
capture this point (like playing conquest with bots, get this item, or sneak through this area.

I have a problem. I sat down at 8 oclock for some innocent Battlefielding. 7(SEVEN) hours later I notice that we have been on for 7 hours. We are all like...Its time for bed.
This game man. That seals it. For me, its better than 1942 and tied with BF2 as the best ever Battlefield in my opinion. Hope you all are enjoying it as much as me and my group are!

I wish the assault class had a semi automatic rifle.

Seriously how do you party up before a game and join together on PS4?

Joining a PS4 party automatically throws you in an in game squad. Then whoever joins a match it alerts your friends and they can follow in.

Managed a few rounds of conquest last night, and first impressions are ok. Game just passed me by a bit, and i felt a longing for 4. But i only had a few games, so it may take a while to adjust etc.

I really liked 4, but I think this game is a lot better. No more helicopters, locking on weapons, RPG's, jets and night vision/thermal sights. I just wish there weren't so many automatic weapons. Even the Metro/Operation Locker type maps are more interesting this time.
Edit: Actually, where are the hardcore servers? I really don't like the spotting and would prefer it if the weapons did more damage.

what a day...
I played like 5 or so hours in one long session with cuts from singler player to multiplayer. I wasn't the best player, but I did get to be a combat medic squad leader. My squad made it to number 1 and we were among the top players overall. However, just because I was medic didnt mean I couldn't pick up an elite class and go rambo.
Cant you make the assault weapons single shot by either in game or specific gun model?
Heavy tanks are indeed super strong atm because people don't group up to take them down. Just had a match where it felt like the enemy team had all the tanks in the game. We still won though because all they did was k/d hunt. But playing that map felt really terrifying. Tanks firing at you 24/7. The final stat page was funny to see, they had by far the most personal points and best k/d and our's were poor but they lost.
Btw people who have played a lot of Scout class: what sniper rifle with scope has the best OHK sweet spot in your opinion? I keep changing between the Russian one and the starting one.

The SMLE. If you PTFO with it and not sit in the mountains.
Here some stats.

Not really. And the 4 days early access you get with it is already gone.
Alright word! Will probably just pick it up on GMG!
Unlocked the Hellriegel already?
not yet. just a variant of the og weapon and a shotgun.
It's really OK. I played a few games after calibrating my sensitivity with the campaign and I was able to win some 1v1 or even get to the top 5 of the scoreboard (even 1st for half a game). You can get pretty good (I haven't really played a competitive FPS for years, maybe since BF3) even if I feel it'll be difficult against M/K veterans.
My stats
526 points/min, 28kills/29deaths, 1h30, precision 0,11 (I test a lot the weapons though), 2 headshots (I play medic), best headshot 41m, best kill streak 4 (I was on fire)
The game is so beautiful on PC with tons of options and really great optimisation, I couldn't go back to PS4.
Was for me a gamechanger. That gun is atleast pretty good. Btw a great shotgun is also the model 10 hunter, High damage low RPM. One hit kill range is pretty good.
Yeah I read that on reddit
It might be why I wasn't massively disorientated but it must be subtle

You can press triangle to quit right after the last avatar pops for the battlepack. You have maybe a second however on the 2 occasions I've done this over been greeted with a perma black loading screen and had to close the whole game

Probably Rush or Operations because the battle progression is linear. You always know what way to run and you will have team mates always going that way as well. I'd imagine if this was your first BF game, playing Conquest would lead to you running around like a headless chicken and getting picked off, a lot.
If you do play that mode though join a squad and stick with them. Conquest IS Battlefield though, so the quicker you get used it the better.
Expect to die a lot.
Have you never played any BF at all?
Operations I think it's pretty straight forward mode. My tip would be to test all the classes, maybe change after each death. And get a feeling for what type of playstyle fits you the best.
Yes. Just check if VOIP is one in the settings in the game. But i believe its on by default.
You can talk with your squad yes

Any tips for starters? I haven't played BF since Bad Company 1+2 (which were the best). I tried 4 but didn't like it.
Class? Weapon? Mode? Is there a tutorial for vehicles?
I don't want to play the story mode first...I'm going to play it when servers are down, lol.

Loving this game so far. Except for few moments smooth gameplay and stunning visuals. I do die a lot, though. It's hard to orientate when you come from +200h of Overwatch because enemies are everywhere in Battlefield. I spawn and sometime die immediately or I fighting against one enemy and another is whacking me from behind or flank. It seems it's all about positioning and cover in this game. Haven't got the hang of it, yet.
Any tips from BF veterans? I'm playing on PC.

Will get to play this later with my friends can't wait, not the same with randoms with no mic.
Played yesterday like that and it was zero fun, I did OK but could of done better.
Thankfully I'm a BF vet so I can hold my own.

As I said to another person - Change class after each death and see what fits you best. If you've played some BF before I don't think you should have any problem knowing what's going on. So jump into Operations or Conquest maybe.
You will try a vehicle in the intro. But it's simple really.
Oh and don't care about your K/D, you will die a lot in the beginning. Try to play the objective and you'll do fine.

Thanks, sounds good!
I'd say play the intro of the campaign to get a feel for the weapons and movement and switch to MP.
Unless you're new to the series in which case the SP in a good way to familiarize yourself with the various guns and vehicles available.

1) PTFO: play the fucking objective. You'll rack up points and xp far more quickly than just going for kills
2) Squad up, and work with your squad closely
3) Use mics to communicate with your squad if possible
4) Try and level up one class to begin with, unlock some new kit items. The starting weapons on each class are hit and miss, so it can be useful to level up one to gain access to better unlocks. Also, play as the class: if support, give ammo out, etc etc.
5) You can use the companion app to change class load outs outside of battle.
6) Pistols are very effective in close ranges due to high fire rates on say the M1911. Don't be afraid to switch out mid battle.
7) Experiment with different kit items to see what works for you.
Isn't it buggy as hell? I changed once via the app then all my equipment etc went back to like it was the first time I started the game.
