The spring patch is now live, it's about 2.3gb on xbox 1 and grenades have been nerfed along with high ping players

Played a round there got 43 kills with the automatico needed for the 50kills requirement as part of whats needed to unlock one of the new assault guns, game ends next map loads and I'm back to 0/50 kills, wtf dice.

It should adjust shortly same happened me

I'm really tempted to get the dlc in its single form and not the season pass. Have they announced when the next one is due out. I don't think I'll have as much free time to play it in a few months hence why I don't think the season pass is worth it. Are the new maps really good or would I be worth just sticking with the vanilla maps?

TerrorFirmer

I haven't played a single vanilla map since the DLC came out - they're very good and well designed with excellent variety within the four maps. It's two 'battlefield' maps - Soissons and Rupture, both fantastic, and two infantry maps - Fort de Vaux and Verdun. Fort de Vaux is like a much better designed Metro/Locker setup with good flanking options, Verdun is a bigger, more open map but doesn't have vehicles either.

If the other 3 DLC is half as good as this one I'll be delighted having bought the season pass for €45. I'm not pushed about the new guns at all to be honest but the actual maps are brilliant and I've already gotten tons of value out of it.

I bought it in the end. What a fantastic set of maps. Played a few rounds of Conquest today and it was great fun. On another note is there any way to level up the classes faster other than just playing the objective? Really want that Hellriegel gun on assault

Get into a good squad and one with squad xp boost. You'll be level 10 in a few days

I think the new map vote system was a bad idea.

Playing yesterday, in just 5 rounds, 2 were Amiens and 2 were Suez.

The community have shown themselves happy to replay the same maps ie Metro/Locker 24/8 servers so those of us who liked variety are going to end up playing the same maps over and over with this system.

I think going through them in a way which mixes them up would have worked best ie Amiens wins, thats taken out of the rotation and the rest stay in rotation until you get through the list.

I'll probably start playing custom servers if they're going to avoid that, never found the need to use them thus far unlike BF4.

I just want a Fort De Vaux 24/7 server, pure meat grinding loveliness

Played my first game tonight in months and predictably I got opened! Was ranked 26th in the table at the end.

It all came back to me quite fast though cause in the next game I was ranked 5th! Forgot how good this game is.

Only realised yesterday that there were new guns to unlock.
I read about it but just never put it together while in game and hadn't altered my load out in ages.

Unlocked the first support gun... Its a nice one but I'd like a better scope on it so I'm looking forward to unlocking the second version.

I mainly just rock the support class now, while I spam the ammo for everyone its mainly for my own benefit to have it(who likes running out of ammo/grenades?) but I'm looking forward to trying the new guns from the Assault and Medic classes.

TerrorFirmer

The new Chaucat support gun is great, use it all the time now. Wish it had a bigger magazine as it's pretty small but it's very accurate and powerful.

Really strange glitch happened to me tonight playing Conqeust. I was shooting people point blank and not taking any damage off them. This went one over a game and half before I quit. I was blatantly hitting them but nothing happening. So frustrating. Anyone else have this issue before?

Yeah same thing has happened to me in about 2 or 3 rounds of conquest since getting the dlc. When it glitches on me its usually around half way into the round nothing more annoying than when your shooting someone at point blank range and doing fu*k all to them.. hope it gets sorted out in the next update

Ya it happened to me around half way through the round too. It was also happening in the next round from the very start. I quit after about 5 minutes once I had made sure it was affecting more than just the one gun.

Wonda-Boy

Yeah, happens to me alot too. And for me it only started with the DLC I was playing alot of BF1 up until the DLC, I think this is why I really dislike the DLC overall. I cant enjoy the DLC for what it is because of the glitch.

Hopefully it will be patched soon....seems to be a server side latency issue, packet loss jobbie.

Shame really.

Ya it's a massive issue obviously so hopefully they patch it soon. I might steer clear until they do.

I've put about 40 hours into the DLC and I've genuinely never had that issue nor even heard it mentioned as a serious issue until this thread. I wonder is it specific to certain setups.

In other news, starting using the Artillery truck for the first time ever the other day - the anti-air one is incredibly good and adds massively to your team, so much more than a single tank ever could. Even if you're not destroying planes, you're keeping them away from certain zones and disrupting bombing runs constantly. You can actually sense the enemies bitter frustration when full enemy squads start turning up near your spawn zone and guys are parachuting down trying to take you on

Giving the light tank a break for a while, apparently now at the top 0.6% in the world but can't seem to crack that 0.5!

I found that when on the AA and you are anyway decent the amount of abuse you get for "camping" and "AA Whore" is mental, and yep its always from the pilots who cant have the run of the map anymore.

I found on the new DLC the lead of the AA guns is too much, before it was a shorter trail. The only thing about the Artillary truck and the AA truck is the clearance of the vehicle, the amount of times I got stuck on the smallest of rocks or inclines is stupid.

But I prefer the Artillary truck over everything else in the game great fun.

TerrorFirmer

Yeah, that gives me a great laugh. "Fcking camping AA noob". Versus what, exactly? Should an AA gun be charging into the midst of battle guns blazing?!

That said though it's pretty good against infantry and if you're smart, you know that the average tanker retreats instantly when under fire, even if it's very minor damage from the AA gun so it's a very good all around addition to the team and achieves far more than an average tank run does, even if the kill count is lesser.

Ya, that happened to me as well, mid way through a round.

Just had to quit out and rejoin.

I was using a machine gun as well so the clips I made were ridiculous.
One guy I pumped nearly a full clip into from a few yards away before he finally realised and finished me.

Its all over Reddit. Only an issue since the last patch, not since the DLC was released. Ran into it myself last night for the first time, Im bad enough at the game without having to wonder whether Im missing because Im so bad or because of a bug.

Im going to give the game a miss until they fix it.

TerrorFirmer

Fair enough, not doubting that it's an issue for some people but I wonder how widespread it is. It reminds me of the BF4 launch, a total and widely documentated **** up for a huge amount of people but I genuinely never experienced any real issues with the game at all from day one.

No idea how widespread it is, maybe its platform or region specific. Dunno why they changed the netcode when nobody was asking them to.

Its gas because no matter what you do you will camp as you cant drive and shoot at the same time ffs!

They've finally fixed that end screen bug.

Jesus. Had assumed they had fixed that in the last update. Haven't gone near this since I started having this issue a month ago after playing it most days. Won't be going near it til it's resolved.

New map dropped today!
