    Sometimes there is only one option to mark for HVT and so the commander just does it because points.

    edit: This morning I was commanding on my tablet and I marked HVT twice, and killed it twice with the cruise missile in the same match. SO MANY POINTS!

    I wonder if DICE calls it the Frostbite engine cause they wanted to do this in the Frostbite engine.

    Also, how come they don't make tutorial videos anymore? "So your dumbass wants to fly a helicopter." would be a great tutorial or "It's RECON not ELITE SNIPER, stupid!" teaching new players how to Battlefield.

    That actually looks pretty awesome.

    Oh it was. Escaping an enemy Titan you just destroyed from the inside was like an action movie ending. Every. Single. Time. I get moist just thinking about what they could do with Titans in Frostbite 3.

    And then I remember EA is already publishing two other Sci-Fi shooters (Titanfall, and DICE's own Battlefront), and any hope that we'll see a sequel to 2142 anytime soon vanishes :(

    2142 was probably my favorite BF. I loved the titans and the attack/defense of them.

    I have no idea how people are so good at aiming on a controller.
    Going from the PC to Xbox One is a learning experience.

    There's some autoaiming going on with the console versions, right?

    I will be genuinely surprised if Naval Strike doesn't include Titan mode with boats.

    It's 2013, I think plenty of people browse these forums from extremely low data cap mobile devices.

    Not me, but I'm sure they're out there.

    It just seems like such a larger problem than it was in previous FPS titles. The team balancing or plug-ins seem to do jack to solve it. It stops me playing more than crashing does.

    Just had a good moment on recon. Defending the point like a boss except for the one guy who was immune to bullets. Also just testing going from Upload Studios to Youtube for clips.

    Don't think I'll use widescreen in the future. Streches the UI out in a weird way. I'll just have to try various skins in Upload till I find the one I like.

    Xbox One version is just plain fucked and there's no being kind about it any more. I booted up, told it to do a quickmatch conquest, and it had me join a Team Deathmatch round. Ugh. Then I would repeatedly request a quickmatch and the UI would pretend that I wasn't in the room.

    Eventually I tried the server browser, and joined a Conquest game only to discover it was hardcore. Ugh.

    Back to the server browser, I try to join several servers and the game is ignoring me again. After about a dozen tries, I finally get into a server and I'm rubber banding all over the place. I haven't seen multiplayer issues this bad since the early days of Gamespy.

    Fuck that. I popped in Forza. I'll try BF again after the next patch and not a day sooner.

    Man my ps4 experience has been super smooth after the last patch. I mean, I'm still terrible, but the game runs well.

    Also silenced weapons combined with the bushes near the power plant on the dam seems to be a fun place no one looks for their death to come from.

    Locker might as well not exist. Ammo packs and grenade/rocket spam in center and sniper heaven outdoors. Pretty lame battle lines.

    Imagine my surprise when I discover that the Xbox One (allegedly) had a patch today. I certainly cannot tell.

    Yeah, Xbox one version seems to allow some people to play... but there are no commander slots, so I guess I can't (I don't want to play commander). the issues are transient as well. yesterday I played to my hearts content.

    very annoying, glad I only paid 60 bucks and not 110.

    There are still a few servers around I'd imagine. I tried going back once (earlier this year), but man, it was just so janky compared to what we have now. Time has not been kind.

    So do i need to do something special to blow up battle dudes when I'm blowing up bathrooms? Or is that not an option for me since I'm using my phone and not a tablet?

    We could have kept that Helo in the air for forever!


    That was a once in a lifetime performance for me anyways. I usually get blasted almost immediately or as soon as the enemy team decides to start equipping stingers. Curious what kind of balance is made to things like stingers...Assuming they work out the crashing within the next month or so.

    I think an increased damage, but remove the mobility kill would work out pretty well. then a good team of pilot + engi would have a better chance of staying in the air.

    I think the commander app is tablet-only.
