Sometimes I go prone and just use the rocket gun on infantry if we are defending. Works pretty nicely if they are coming in a group lol.Yeah the gas spammers drive me nuts. I don't mind the idea of the grenade, and I feel it can be used tactically. I do feel however that 4 people sit on an ammo pack and turn half the map in to a cloud of gas. Same deal with incendiaries. They need to tweak timers or something.
As far as the shotguns go, I don't know why people feel they are OP? From a closer distance, they can one shot. They SHOULD. Once you get 20-30 meters out, you need 2-3 shots to kill, and from 50-100 you could wind up needing 5-7 shots to kill, enough time to get further out of range of the gun. That doesn't seem so OP to me. I hear people say in game that they got one shot from 75-200m out and they are just entirely full of crap. No shotgun will one shot you from that distance in this game.
The Rocket Gun on the assault class is a ton of fun, and I equip it 100% of the time over dynamite. Useful on vehicles for sure, and it is usable in a lot more scenarios than I currently see it used.
Got my heilrigger yesterday. Its really good up close (spread goes crazy at med to long range) with its high rate of fire it runs out of ammo quickly. Shotguns are the most fun for assault IMO. The hunter model with the full choke allows for the best range. Ive gotten insanely high kill counts and KDRs with it on the Forrest map in conquest. Playing conquest there is the quickest way to score points and rank up classes except for the scout of course.Sometimes I go prone and just use the rocket gun on infantry if we are defending.

I was 31 and 15 last night in close quarters domination using my assault class. I'm still very far from rank 10 in that class and I would like to get that heilrigger gun.
I have yet to try a shotgun. I feel like the time i decide to use one, no one will be within range from me. I can't count how many times I've been taken down by shotgunners. Usually it happens when I end up spawning right in front of the enemy too.Got my heilrigger yesterday.

How's BF1 compared to BF4? BF4 was pretty fast paced, tightly packed battles (Operation Metro and that snow map I forgot). Didn't like that. Is BF1 more "basic" in regards to weapons since it's WW1 and that there's more team work at play?
Currently playing Overwatch and enjoy it very much, enjoy the team work with competitive mode where people actually coordinate attacks.
This game you definitely have to use cover or else you're dead.Its very chaotic frantic. Too many snipers.
Yup until you get an idea of the maps and what routes most people will be taking.This game you definitely have to use cover or else you're dead.
I did try out the shotgun last night and it didn't seem to make it easier partly because I kept spawning so far away.
I still would like to see a re-imagined version of Metro and Locker. There are enough players to support having those maps even if not everyone likes them. There also needs to be more city and bunker maps.
The Argonne Forest conquest map is BF1's "Metro". Plenty of choke points, no vehicles, and close quarters battles, its definitely the easiest place to rank up quickly. But unlike Metro it has more paths to to take which allows you to try and bypass capped areas and back cap enemy flags. The rest of the maps are pretty open standard BF fare.
You have to move fast and pick your battles with a shotgun. Pick a tight area that's highly contested and stay out of the open. Its a pretty good choice for a lot of the Domination maps.
Let me know when its up and running!Maybe there isn't as much clusterfuck grenade spam like metro, but the mortars are getting beyond annoying on some maps. I don't know why they thought it was a good idea to put a no-skill no risk weapon into the game. When my clan starts a server that will probably be the first thing we dial down. Though with FF on it may fix itself.

how is mortar no skill no risk? when in mortar you can't see anyone around you and you're an easy target. I came across 3 guys mortaring in 1 game and wiped them out like nothing.
not any harder than sniping, hell, i'd say it's harder because you have limited range and most times don't even get to kill your enemy unless they are stupid and don't move.
