^One of the matches had vehicles, but it was the wide open one by the coast with the dreadnaught. He got around 90-10, probably cause of snipers. It was like 95-7 the second time in the forest/jungle level with just the train, and the losing team he wasn't on got the train. The Conquest score was 2:1 with even teams -- I'd never seen that without uneven teams before. Did some googling and there are entire forums dedicated to hacking/cheating...

Another lack of documentation issue: I'm not sure if kills in a vehicle count towards non-driver/pilot classes. Look under the "Soldier" tab and there's a separate class for drivers...
Not just that but I don't think emplacement kills count towards the class medals either. I'm stuck on the 5 kills in one life for the medic.

They do not. You have to be on foot, while either camping in a bush or running for your life, and praying for a revive to get that fifth and final kill. LOL

The forest level is probably the best bet. Camp near a trail and spam gas/rifle grenades. I think I got close to 5 kills as medic last night doing just that.

Or do what everyone else does and get a rifle with a scope then snipe from across the map.

Seriously, I'm up to ~35 hours on this game and am losing interest. If I don't get sniped from across the map, I have to deal with hackers or children. Recently had some guy on a public DICE server yelling at people constantly to get out of his bomber............ Newsflash, it's a public server.

The auto bans don't work? I constantly see people getting banned in the chat window when I play. I think I'm at over 30 hours too but haven't gotten bored yet.

^The sniping across the map probably isn't cheating, even I can do it because all you need to do is go prone and start shooting from cover and maybe lead the target a little. It's not that hard especially when there are a lot of them.

Also, the FAIRFIGHT bans apparently are broadcast across more than one server -- what I heard, not sure if true.

It's pretty easy to avoid getting constantly sniped. I'll get it every so often but once you learn the maps you know where too avoid them to not be getting sniped all the time, or just do some revenge on them.

Yeah the bans have been off the charts today, should be clearing out the trash. Cheaters werent really much of an issue in BF4, I expect the same in this game as time goes on.

It has to be across all servers. I was in a server by myself st messing around testing stuff and saw like 5 ban messages

^Bannings on fire today. I was on for a few hours and my chat box was being flooded with ban notices in big groups. Saw someone going 40-0 and about 30-2 yesterday. Not sure if the person was in a tank or making the cheating less obvious.

Are people that desperate to "dominate" by cheating, and to have the "respect" of kiddies? Obviously, yes.

Been getting good at destroying tanks. Screw the AT rocket gun that thing is worthless. AT mines are amazing! Although i usually die after destroying the tank or i die then the tank dies, lol. Gotta get better at being more sneaky.

I've actually used the AT tank rocket gun to hit infantry more than tanks. This game doesn't have good anti tank weapons unless you use the mines and dynamite or are lucky enough to use a field gun without getting sniped. The rocket gun isn't that damaging against the bigger tanks but if you can prone in a nice location it will damage the tank, especially if you shoot at the back section.

40-0 isn't necessarily cheating, and 30-2 sure as hell isn't cheating.

75-0 is cheating. So is 85-2.

There are medics in this game, if you roll with a dedicated squad (and you're all really good) you can easily rack up 40 kills with only a handful of "deaths" because you got revived a bunch of times. A 30-2 score is more like a 30-10 round, but with 8 revives.

^Around 35-ish and a few deaths is reasonable in a vehicle or as a sniper with good support. I managed probably a dozen kills in a light tank yesterday on one life. I usually get at least 5 unless a plan or zeppelin behemoth gets me -- it's usually the latter. Somehow managed close to ten snipes on one life before a sandstorm blew in.

I still haven't figured out how to use the AV7 (?) heavy tank. Keep getting killed quickly when I'm driving. The light tank is essentially playing infantry with a lot more health.

Having said that, the FAIRFIGHT bans are getting insane. Lists were pouring out frequently last night.

Is it just me or does BF1 seem 10x harder than BF4? All I do is die. Lose every firefight. Can't see enemies until they shoot me. Its a very different experience. I used to go on huge kill streaks. I can't even function in this game. Can't say I'm really enjoying it.

Keep moving and take any path that has some amount of cover. You have to learn the maps. Also, don't run everywhere. It's not Titan fall or cod. Run only to get from one cover to another and then around corners walk so you can aim when needed. The automatico is a good assault gun with a good fire rate. It was like that in the beginning for me too. It also seems in regular mode it takes forever to take someone down. Hardcore mode will be available by the 16th along with another big patch.

Early on I was able to rack up crazy kdrs in the tanks but people have learned how to pile on now.

The sniping in this game is awesome, I would have thought you'd love it. I find it easy to go on nice kill streaks sniping from afar.

Thats how I've felt about every BF game but I've stuck with this one a bit and getting better. Still get shot out of nowhere, mostly by snipers or medics acting like snipers.

I do enjoy the sniping and that aspect is fine, but there is something about this game that makes me want to cap flags again, so I am getting into the mix of the action and find it difficult. Last night I said I wasn't enjoying the game, but I was just in rage mode. I actually do like the game. I'll find a groove and like you guys said, learn the maps etc. Game does look incredible. I love gassing people. The whole game is worth it just to gas people.
I've been trying a little of everything, all the classes and even flying (bombing peeps is fun). So I need to find that groove and just get familiar.
I must say though regarding sniping, I doubt anything will ever match that straight pull M98 for me. Between BF3 and BF4 I think I have around 200k kills with that gun.

You just have to play differently is all. One of the big differences is the spread patterns of the different guns. You cannot just whip out any gun, and with discipline/skill, wipe out droves of enemies like in BF4. In a small way, the guns you choose are better equipped for certain play styles. It kind of makes sense as I do not expect guns from the early 1900's to be as accurate as current assault rifles, etc. When I play support, I tend to prone and bipod a lot more often, as opposed to run and gunning in BF4. I still do quite decent in this game as well as BF4, but it take more attention to the finer details I feel in BF1.

I know how you feel. I feel like something is seriously wrong with the net code or there are lots of people with....enhanced aim. I'm talking one frame deaths when it takes me a second or two to kill someone normally. Cross the map headshots with no ranging misses. Instakilled by pistols when I have the drop on people with an automatic weapon. Its just bewildering what is going on. It feels like BF4 back when they had the damage stacking into a single packet combined with playing with some serious latency issues for getting shot through cover, etc. Rental servers with real admins can't come soon enough.

I have noticed this without any doubt. I'm unloading into a guy with a machine gun (admittedly missing a lot though) and he turns and POP I'd dead from a quick burst or couple shots from a pistol. I'm left sitting there thinking wtf is this crap and how do I suck this terribly? I have an idea though. Before drawing any conclusions, I'll work on hitting my target and see what happens from there.

This has happened several times to me, using the trench gun. I switched to the automatico and I aim down the sights now and I can get better hits. There are times when if you shoot the body it will seem like it takes longer vs shooting the upper most part of the character. Or it could be just how the net code is.

I do enjoy using the shotgun though.
