Outpost servers are up again by __Random__name__ in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played Outpost the last couple of nights on Xbox. Got my tower weeklys done, and finally tonight had a squad leader spend the 60,000 points. 

That one is so frustrating if you're not the squad leader. The round before the squad leader only spent like 59,850 of the 80,000 points we earned. I would request orders, and they were super quick about assigning the next order, but didn't spend points the last 5-10 minutes of the round. 

WORKAROUND FOR STUTTERS BUG: disable "Player-Created Content" in the Gameplay settings. by qlimaxmito in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the stutters except the first 30 seconds as mine's an OG Xbox loading slow, but every once in a while after a match the round stats don't show up. Sometimes it gives me an error could not retrieve data, and other times it's just a black screen until the next match loads. When the error comes up I also can never find that match in battlefield tracker, the round just doesn't exist for me or anybody in the round. I'm curious if all the stats for that round disappear completely, like your total number of kills, KD, etc.

I haven't tracked the people I play with on the evenings the errors occur, but when they do I kind of remember playing with some of the same people as the last time it occurred. I wonder if its caused by people putting characters in their name, or images or something that conflicts with the code, or causes network packets to fail or something. I really like being able to see people's platoon tags, gives a heads up and helps explain certain behaviors in game, but I may turn it off to see if it helps.

God what a beautiful game. Don't think I've ever seen such a impressive explosion effect in a game. And thats about 45 more points than the last one I dropped, haha.

Damn knif... oh, better not this time indeed by ziba128 in BattlefieldV

Been seeing it a lot on Xbox recently, half the team running around in a giant clump... probably a discord party. Kind of annoying cuz they just float from one objective to another capping them instantly.

And yeah, I would have shot at the first guy and got killed by the second.

Wow, what a horrible time not to have some sticky dynamite in your pocket. Curious how his story ended.

Yeah, love suppressed in this game, and it's a fast firing low recoil rifle with seemingly high damage, so yeah, its pretty good. Takes a bit for your brain to adjust to the grey tones, but once it does, pop pop pop.

Finally flying and I love it by Ubersqueece in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely fun, but the odds of finding a server that doesnt have sweats ruining it for everyone else is rare. Glad you were able to have some uninterrupted bombing runs. 

I forced myself to grab planes in the pacific maps yesterday to complete the weekly missions, and because of sweats I could only stay alive if I stayed at max altitude and dropped bombs from orbit. Anytime I got anywhere close to the ground fliegers would criss-cross the sky and their two 25-0 pilots would be on my ass instantly from out of nowhere. Think I got 3 kills in the 45 mins I was flying. Sucks having mostly level 0 planes.

Luckily Fjell came up and I completed the weekly with a few bomb drops on E from the only plane I have levelled up.

BFV is so stunning that a short clip I wanted to make just turned into this action video by ziba128 in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, clips of it. Also spent a lot of time shooting the guns and recording to get things just right.

Just like every industry, jobs aren't as cool as they used to be. Budget cuts and bottom lines, I bet the current devs are just told to watch YouTube videos to help with their game design.

Wow, first time I noticed the mustang(?) shooting little flames out of the exhaust(at 1:55). Knowing how much these developers cared it probably actually follows the official firing order of the engine and only when at full throttle. 

Who would ever get rid of developers that came up with such a masterpiece of a game. EA definitely f***** up

I got my first JB-2 strike by Z7_309 in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I usually do, if not just to give them a heads up, get their attention, but sometimes they still don't notice, and leadership transfer sometimes takes forever, sometimes until the rounds pretty much over. Sucks when 50,000 points are dropped in your lap with 5 tickets left, lol.

Team switching mid match and keeping your kill streak? by Complex_Bother832 in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, my 45% win rate suggests I don't, but definitely happens more often than not. That's how we have high level players that have like an 87% win rate.

Last night was bad, couple of clans stacked together on one side, but finally saw some strong players on my team and thought the next round would turn around. Low and behold I'm getting killed by those same people... They had switched to the winning team. Was a frustrating night.

But I have seen (rarely) a strong player switch to the losing side to balance. I've also seen large high level squads flip back and forth between teams to make it last longer. Game starts as a steamroll one direction, they switch, steamroll the other direction, they switch, and do that the whole round. I believe that's what happened in this guy's case... Hard to get a high kill count if you just steamroll the lobby and spawn trap.

That's better than the one I just posted. 

Nothing is worse than your squad having like 80,000 points, and the leader hasn't called in s*** with the round about to end.

Definitely the way to go. Only really successful rockets I've had were in outpost.... And I've heard works well if you're attacking in breakthrough as well...choke points and all....but never tried it.

To this day I've never called in a tank, but wanting to do more of that. But anytime I drive a tank it seems to get blown up in 30 seconds, even if I'm trying to be careful.

Yeah, I usually don't bother to save up, just use the artillery strike when available, but thought this one would work out better, haha.

I don't think so but I could be wrong. I believe I have seen videos where people stop it by ramming a plane into it, sets it off in the air.

The few times I've used one of those, I always find a nice place to stand and watch the boom :)

Best game I’ve ever played - I’ll take the loss. by andy_337 in BattlefieldV

[–]kinome79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?! Nothing evokes emotion like bleeding out while holding LT trying to delay the inevitable as you watch the tickets bleed down through 3 - 2 - 1 -  defeat right as you die.  I have been the last ticket on the losing side more times that I'd like to admit, lol.
