The medic m1916 gun is the best one with a scope. I will try that one later tonite. As for support I unlocked the machine gun that has the ammo clips loading from the top. I forget the exact name.

As for the assault, I use the trench machine gun although I hear the automatico gun is the best one to use as the fire rate is fast.

The medic also has a semi automatic gun I've been using which is pretty darn good.

As for the hit markers, pretty much happens at random. Sometimes the game bugs out. It always takes a while to kill anyone without the support or medic class.

I'm pretty decent in some rounds with the scout class too.

Also experienced a lot of odd bugs today. The beta was nearly trouble free, but it hasn't cared over to the full game.
  • Buttons not registering
  • Guns getting stuck between hip fire and looking down sights
  • Drop in FPS and GPU utilization
  • Deaths but nothing registers as killing me
Out of all of them, the first issue is the biggest. I guy and I had a 2 second staring contest at each other while our guns didn't fire. I only assume he was having the same issue as me. Also at times reload won't trigger, spotting won't register or weapon changes don't happen. I suck enough without the game giving me fits.

Any tips for a long-time FPS player but new to the battlefield series?

I love the game, but I feel like I'm a target dummy for everyone else. The game just seems so fast....I see someone but I can only squeeze off a couple rounds before I'm dead. I know it's not COD, so I try to play the objectives, focus on my squad needs, and not worry about the K/D ratio. Playing Conquest, I'm always in the top 10 or 15 looking at the overall score, even though my K/D might be 7-15 (or worse).

Map control is even more important on BF than on many other games. On many FPS you can have poor map knowledge yet if you're generally good at FPS, you can do quite well. That is less true of BF. Secondly, BF tends to have longer-range engagements than many other games. That's why everyone loves the semi-auto gun for the medic with 26 rounds and the scope. It is great for both medium and long-range shooting.

Flanking is a big deal. Constantly move, never stay too close to one position, even if you're near an objective. People get spotted in Battlefield, so if you get spotted, you'll be visible to their entire team for extended durations. You can't know if you're spotted but one way to avoid it is to constantly move in areas where you haven't been before. When someone dies, the first instinct is often to "take revenge" and if you are in the same position, you'll either A) get killed next time since they are prepared or B) get spotted and killed by someone else.

Works fine here.

What is your minimum fps and what resolution please ?
Running @ 1920x1200 on ultra with a GTX 1070 and 2500K @4.4; my frames will occasionally dip into the low 40's and I will get the server framerate warning symbols that flash on screen. This only occurs when the weather is in heavy fog and rain along with battle smoke, when the maps have fair weather my frames rarely dip below the mid 80s. This probably wouldn't bother most people, but those dips into the 40s cause some choppiness that drives me insane when Im trying to KEEL everyone in sight!

How do you enable hardcore mode or real life mode like I've seen while searching on Google. I don't see any options for it.
On the Custom Games page in multiplayer it says hardcore is coming soon, I cant wait!

ok, wtf is going on? Multiple times in the last game I would shoot at someone who was very close but none of my shots registered a hit. I know my bullets hit them but i never got the hit marker and ended up dying when i probably would have won had they registered.

I also seem to lots of problem with hitting a button to something and nothing happens or does something else. have had multiple instances where I went to shoot and my gun wouldn't fire, or I wanted to do a bayonet charge and my character just meleed.

Also medics are OP! I die to more medics than anything else it seems. I tried playing as a medic and I did pretty good, so they must be OP! I really like their guns.

I have been more support focused as my friend who I play war thunder with said he likes to play medic. The support guns just seem super weak. granted I only have the starting lewis gun and the mercer storm one at the moment. I think the 1911 pistol does more damage.

I'm not really a fan of the assault class, and the sniper can be fun, but feel like i'm not doing anything to help the team when I play one.


Oh, is the website missing some of the items to buy/unlock? Like how do i get the ammo chest as an option? I don't see it (or the HE mortar for that matter).

What do other support guys usually take for loadouts?

I've been running with the repair tool but doesn't seem very useful. The mortars seemed more useful but not by much. I guess I'd rather have the ammo crate and the ammo pouches?
If you are going against someone with a really high ping, shots not registering is common and enraging.

Not sure why your gun wouldnt fire, but to bayonet charge you have to already be running or the melee button will only melee.

Medics arent OP, I think the medic weapons suck! Okay to be honest Im biased Ive always hated DMRs in BF. lol

The Mercer Storm is pretty good, along with the Madsen and BAR, the rest are just weak spray and pray suppressive weapons.

As a run and gun junkie, Assualt is my favorite class. The MP18 is a beast as long as you stay within its range and shotguns are one hit kills in CQB. The ability to take out vehicles with a ton of explosive choices is invaluable in Conquest.

I always unlock my weapons and gadgets on the customize tab of the class select screen between deaths. The web thing is not very user friendly IMO. I dont understand why they arent using Battlelog like they did for BF3 and 4, it's freaking amazing and seems insane not to use it for BF1 too.

I usually carry the HE mortar and the ammo crate as a support unless Im playing with a friend and we are using tanks, then I will equip the repair tool.

Anyone else always have the game open up in window mode and you have to click in it to go full screen? This happens every time I launch it.

I don't have to click or anything, but it does open in windowed mode and jacks up the resolution on my other monitors momentarily.

I have this happen sometimes as well. Sometimes it opens windowed and then goes full screen by itself.

I keep getting this crashing dx bug when I'm in dx12 mode. Sometimes the game will freeze up and I get some render dx dialog then the game closes. I think it has to do with me alt tabbing out.

Going to set it back to dx11.

Also, how do you delete your single player save games even from the cloud?

I noticed a lot of these bugs too. And I get crashing DX hang bug in DX11. Unrelated, this game is crazy demanding even on Medium settings with my 770. It simply can't keep up with the tick rate.

I get buttons freezing, reloading wont reload, gun gets stuck in the hip view, etc...etc..

Other than the bugs, it's a pretty fun game. My only gripe with this game is it feels like all the players in MP are on roller skates. The strafing and turning seem extremely over exaggerated and unnatural - looks Call of Duty esk . Shooting in tight quarters feels like I am jumping off walls, but that could also be worsen from the fact my system can't keep up with the frames. I am not a big fan of old style warfare, but it seems like the engine suits the time period like game play perfectly.

New NVidia driver out this morning. Only thing I know it fixes is WIndows 10 app crashes and start menu bugs, not sure about game fixes.

I haven't seen any crashes in game yet. I have seen a couple of hitches where I though it would crash (stuttering audio and video freeze), but it recovered after a second.

That seems a little odd. 40s seem rather low. Granted I have a 4670k at 4.7 but I haven't seen anything below 90 and usually sit at 110+. Running a 1070 boosting a hair over 2k, 1080p/144hz.

I just assume its the CPU since its pegged at 100%, I dont remember having these big dips in the alpha or beta though. Im going to tinker with the settings and see if there are any changes.

My 4670k is pegged at 100% on all 4 cores as well. Just seemed a little much going from 40+ fps on a 4.4 2500k to 90+ fps on a 4.7 4670k. I can't think of any other game that has that level of swing, more than doubling, going from sandy to haswell.

I updated to today's new nvidia drivers and just played on some fog enveloped maps and saw no dips below 70, maybe it was just a driver issue. Fingers crossed.

I think I was getting close to 100fps on the previous version. I tired dx12 mode and got around 70-90fps in various areas.

Are you in drivers 375.57?

How does the voice chat work in game? Does it only play to your squad or your team, or can you specify it somehow?

If you want all the dlc that will be coming get the ultimate. The other editions just have skins and stuff.
If you don't want the skins then buy standard. you can buy the premium pass when the first dlc drops if you are still playing.
