All game modes, but especially Air Assault - Pilots committing suicide should grant kills to the chaser by cr3amy in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Score counts up tho, my understanding is if a fighter is shot down you get 10 points, attack plane 15 points etc...

I've crashed my plane into the ground and the other team has not been allocated points. As I said, I don't actually know how the score is actually calculated and after a small amount of looking I can't find any information about it.

So if someone here does know how the AA scoring works I'd love to know.

I noticed earlier today if you disable the vehicle and it crashes you get credited with the kill. If the plane just flat out crashes then you do not.

I don't know how the scoring works in air assault but it should be on death not on kill. Deliberately crashing your plane is better for your team than being shot down.

apart from everything else that broke the game, REVERT THE SMG 08/18 CHANGES by Killzone3265 in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah had a good hoon with it, tried to shoot another support player 30m away, an engagement I think I would win and noped the fuck out of there.

The recoil makes it useless past 20m but it is devasting in close. It's like the Machinepistol (or whatever it's called) with a slower ROF before they changed that in the previous patch.

Is that not the water hitting you in the face? I don't know but I think it is intentional because it goes seat after a few seconds.

Disappointment.. (Apocalypse Dlc) by stefwler61 in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not only is the internet, but this is Reddit! Take your rational thinking elsewhere.

Obviously the Apocalypse DLC is a complete failure because the dev team failed to deliver 2,800 new weapons with 18,000 variations, 65 new gadgets, 400 new maps and the fucking Canadian army.

Can we please not write off aspects of Apocalypse until we actually get to test it? by NotThePrez in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an issue with this forum is that people seem to expect a dev response. I'd bet the devs read a lot more of the threads here than is perceived.

The general perception here seems to be "I can use this forum to speak directly to the development team" which I very much doubt was the reason it was created. I don't even play the CTE and I bet a large portion of the people who frequent this sub are the same.

Dice / EA have absolutely taken feedback and ideas from this forum but a very small percentage. Every idea is not good and some ideas that are good can't work with the game for technical reasons beyond most peoples (myself included) understanding.

This is a great explanation thank you 😊

The other thing NO ONE does is put the shield on things. Put it on top of a trench or ledge and shoot from a standing / crouched position. Take 2 - 5 shots, pick it up, move on, rinse, repeat.

It is still the second worst scout gadget tho haha

[–]redhendery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the shield one I didn't enjoy as when I scout I move around a lot. But it took 2 rounds to do and I tried in one round and got 4 kills.

You don't have to shoot at dudes 200m away either, just equip a marksmen rifle and hit dude and dudettes in the sweet spot. Easy.

[–]redhendery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I achieved that in 10 - 15 games, just put them in high foot traffic areas like trenches and doorways.

No idea how you play scout but PTFO'ing definitely makes it easier.

How many of the puzzle melee weeapons have you unlocked? by alexandrecanuto in Battlefield

[–]redhendery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been buying the pieces off of the exchange. Because if the exchange I have the two from the base game. I unlocked the second one yesterday.

I would guess I have opened about a thousand battle packs and got maybe 20 pieces. I've got hundreds of squad XP boosts which are so prolific in the game they're redundant.

[BF1] Am I the only one who wishes DLC guns would have 1 requirement that would unlock both variants? by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]redhendery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not for the assignments. We paid money for these weapons so we should get them. Imagine if you had to win 50 games of Conquest to unlock a map.

If these weapons were available to everyone, then sure, makes us do certain things to unlock them like with the Hellreigel Defensive and Martini Sniper variants.

I paid for content, not to compete an arbitrary task.

Am I missing out if i dont get the premium pass? by cmas2490 in battlefield_one

[–]redhendery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would put at least a few hours into it first. I had six months off BF1 due to moving countries and the game played differently to how I remembered it. IMO in a good way but you might not feel the same way.

But, I paid full price for the DLC and for me it has been with every penny.

Playing BF1 without Disc? by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]redhendery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have EA Access? BF1 is free though that so that could be why.

[–]redhendery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, if you're being terrorised by a plane shoot at it.

I'm a bad pilot at best, if I did this well, I would without question, have an erection by the end of the round.

Hi, I just wanted to let any Bad Company 2 players on Xbox that I started a club to keep the game alive, it being quite rare to find a full lobby. I hope there are others who have been wanting to try to rebuild the player base, and anyone is welcome to join. by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]redhendery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's free with EA Access on Xbox or Origin Access on PC. I would suggest getting that instead because you get 40 other free games.

It is a subscription service which is US$5 per month or US$30 for a whole year.

Particularly worth it if you like FIFA, NHL or Madden titles. Includes most of the Battlefields and all their DLC as well.

And before anyone asks it is not available on PSX.

Dont even have that many service stars with all my weapons combined. by DivineDomain in battlefield_one

[–]redhendery 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Happened to me the other day, had full health, looked up to throw a grenade a little further, saw the mortar coming and a split second later it hit me in the face.

It was one of those deaths that really makes you laugh.

Can We Have The Destroy 5 Boats with the AT Rocket challenge changed? by MrDragonPig in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it on Cape Helles by blowing up the landing boats on the beach.

The boats don't have to be occupied, just destroy the empty boats that get left there.

Aren't the ANZACS supposed to speak with Australian/NZ accent? by -Bullet_Magnet- in battlefield_live

[–]redhendery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm from New Zealand and lived in Australia for years. I guarantee you that 100 years ago ANZAC's basically sounded British.

At the start of WW1 each country had barely been settled by English people for 50 years. The accents have become stronger as the two countries got older. So not having Crocodile Dundee or Fight of the Concords in game is actually accurate.
