    I thanked the recoil relapse post, I thought that was me applying for the challenge?

    Yep - Thanking the post puts you on the table but I usually only check those posts at the time I'm pulling in the stats from Battlelog (so some people get lost and decide to drift away rather than flying me a quick message)

    I'm just after updating the table - You've made a nice dent already.

    Lads I've two questions. 1, how do I increase the turret sensitivity on the tanks and 2, AP Shell, HE Shell or Sabot Shell. Either I'm just a bit rusty or the shells have been changed since I used tanks last. I did use Sabot shells before but I was playing it last night and they seem to be a lot shítter. Cheers

    1. Options - Settings - Gameplay - Vehicle Sensitivity. (I think)

    2. Down to preference I think.

    Sabot travels the fastest and has the lowest drop over distance but has low damage against infantry. You usually have to hit them dead on or in the head. Sabot and AP do the same amount of damage against vehicles.

    HE does the most damage to vehicles but travels the slowest so it drops like a stone in water. Not great against infantry.

    AP is slightly faster than HE and slightly slower than Sabot but it does better splash on infantry.

    I prefer the AP shell myself. Couple that with the Canister shell as your secondary and you keep most enemies at bay.

    Shush!!!! That's my little secret, don't tell anyone :pac: Seriously though, Thermal Optics and Canister Shell will destroy infantry.

    The rest of your loadout is very dependant on your playstyle. I like running with the Smokescreen cos it takes me off the mini-map and gives me a chance to break line of sight and relocate. It also reduces some of the damage from RPGs etc and basically makes you harder to hit for a few seconds. Having said that, I rarely ever come across another tank that's NOT using Active Protection so what do I know?? I personally like the Autoloader as well.......I use a lot of Canister Shell so it's more beneficial to me than the ability to take an extra round.

    Just mess around for a few games and see what suits ya. Look up Xfactor and his Tanker Tuesday series, good tips there.

    What about the other Battlefield games?

    Here's how my simplistic algorithm sorted the games:

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2
    Battlefield 2
    Battlefield 3
    Battlefield 1942
    Battlefield Vietnam
    Battlefield 2142
    Battlefield 4
    Battlefield: Hardline

    Which Battlefield game is the worst?
    the results

    Worst battlefield game

    The worst Battlefield game, according to respondents, is Battlefield: Hardline.......................................................

    To me the best Battlefield game will always be Battlefield 2. It broke the market and trends of most other games available. Plus the community was entirely different back then.

    A dedicated Vietnam or cold war game would be perfect.

    If they could re-do Vietnam with more weapons it would be perfect but seeing as DICE has fallen in love with levelution, I don't think we'll see it and far too many people are screaming for maps like Noshar canals. People who played BF later in the series, never really saw DICE experiment with different things, you could say that Bad Company 1 and 2 were experiments in their own rights with the frostbite engine, massive variety in maps, new modes, story modes and the Vietnam expansion they pushed through. BC2.

    I've seen enough dams collapsing to last a lifetime. A good thing they could focus on is jungle style maps which is in the CTE as far as I know

    So C4 will be weaker and grenade launchers will be stronger?? They're turning it into CoD...

    They dumb down C4 effectiveness but double the grenade and XM25 effectiveness.

    Giving in to the cries of the OP Locker thralls.

    ++Removed video because the shell/speed alteration feature has been removed and some more edits being announced including buffs with the ballistic shield.

    Teamplay Score rebalance

    We are tweaking some score values for our most played modes to highlight playing the objective. The scoring takes into account the statistics of incoming score per player since launch and mode.
    Conquest capture is now 400 points from 150.
    Obliteration bomb pickup is now 150 from 100.
    Obliteration bomb possesion (tick) is now 25 instead of 10
    Rush crate disarm is now 500 instead of 400.
    Rush crate destroy (team wide) is now 500 instead of 400.
    Conquest win ribbon value is now 3000 instead of 1500
    Rush win ribbon is now 3000 instead of 1500
    Obliteration win ribbon is now 3000 instead of 1500

    This is the balance currently running in CTE.

    If these go through it will absolutely destroy rush due to the (Team wide) points given but it will also completely cripple roof-top crawlers in conquest. If it means stopping the crawlers then the Rush game mode is an acceptable loss.

    Help, I'm stupid and it's your fault!

    sounds like they're nerfing the entire game before they end support for it

    I'd like to think they're trying to perfect it before BF5. The less time they waste trying to sort this crap during development the better. Considering BF5 won't be on the old gen consoles, there's a lot more potential to put into the game play side of it. If this current balancing and rebalancing of weapons and scoring frees up development time for the next release, then I'd say it's worth it. Otherwise I can't see the logic in sweeping changes to a game that people have already spent 2 years getting used to.

    Just letting you all know that there is an under €20 sale on the PS Store at the moment.

    NFS Rivals : Complete Edition is going at €18 with all the DLC
    The Last of Us: Remastered (Highly recommend if no-one has it) also €18
    There's also Infamous Second Son, Trials Fusion, Black Flag and a lot more.

    I'd say just have a look as there might be a few good deals to catch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 97 ✭✭limitedIQ

    Videos galore today.

    Also if anyone is thinking about Rainbow Six: Siege.
    I think it's really good once you sort out the controls as they are a bit clunky and you have to fine tune a tad but the game itself is quite good. Nice mix of teamwork and AI hunting making it a decent Co-Op game. Not sure if I'd pay full price for it as it's a bit expensive if it doesn't add in a lot more stuff to bulk up the content to match the price. (I'm well aware it's a beta)

    Also when the Rainbow Six beta ends the Star Wars one begins. Now I now how a lot of people are looking at Star Wars mainly due to DICE announcing everything they've cut rather than included (Clearly playing hard mode). BUT I would absolutely love if DICE proved me and everyone else wrong in this case. I'll play the beta solely because I love Star Wars.

    And to be completely honest they have CUT A LOT of stuff but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a bad game by itself, DICE making it makes it a bad game. (It's a Joke - Calm down) As the very moment stands the only issue I have with it is that it's Online only and once the servers are turned off (It won't happen for a while but that's not the point) the game becomes worthless.
