Battlefield V

Squad conquest is pretty fun when there's actually two good squads on both teams. My buddies and I have it pretty much down now, only lost one game tonight because our team mates weren't that good. Lost by 2 tickets. Need to unlock this smg
 
I didn't delete this game cause I am a huge Battlefield fan and I wanted to see what this next update will be like.

I do not like the new kill cam and the footsteps are too loud in my opinion. Also, I can't stand squad conquest. I'm playing it to get the new smg but damn, this is getting frustrating.

I'll,stick with it until Firestorm comes buy if it's not worth it then this will be the first Battlefield I will delete.
Footsteps are too loud.

I too hate Squad Conquest. It is only here for short time anyway. Which sucks for those who do like it.

Tides Of War is actually getting worse. We have 3 "new modes" coming but 2 are lmited time events and not new at all.
 
The footsteps are way too loud. LOL what did they do to them?

Anyway the new medic gun (ZK-383) you can unlock with the Tides of War is good. I don't have the Tommy yet but it is better than any other of the medic guns so far. It is worth going for if you don't have the Thompson yet.

Thompson got nerfed.

I thought I was going nuts with the footsteps, it always makes me think someones sneaking up on me, why the hell have these things being changed? Heck I thought the footsteps were fine since bf3 bf4.

Yeah, before it was too quiet, so they tried to fix it and just made it too loud. It is completely broken now and I don't think the direction even works. I have a good headset and in other games can usually hear people really well.

Direction works. Just way too loud.
 
Almost have mine. Just gotta win a squad conquest game, but keep getting the dumbest teammates.Kind of frustrating.

It is brutal. I swear there's been a major influx of noobs somehow on Xbox. I have countless squadmates who just find a dark corner and don't move? When people see "play 3 rounds of squad conquest" they put the controller down and do something else.

Getting a squad together is like trying to herd cats. Nobody gives orders, nobody follows orders. I played quite a few hours and I think I had one squad leader actually give orders.

So many people building fortifications in squad conquest too. There's 3 flags and they flip constantly... maybe don't bother with sand bags that do as much to block the friendly team from supplies?

What is bad about squad conquest is if your team is trash there's not much you can do. It isn't like you can just find another squad.

The gun seems worth it though. It is better at medium range which is nice.

How do request to be squad leader? I looked though the controls menu but didn't see jack, but I know you can request to be squad leader.

If you request order and the squad leader doesn't respond, you can be promoted to leader. Of course, sometimes it doesn't work or takes a really long time. You have to watch too as it is easy to miss. As a squad leader you can actually give orders using that same option too. The request order option changes to each objective, so you can give orders without having to aim at them (useful in a vehicle, etc).

I usually end up grabbing squad leader eventually. Although if a squad is so useless you're better off finding another.

You can also kick people from your squad once you are the leader. Very useful for pilots and snipers who aren't running with the team. If people are really not following you at all, you can kick them and hope someone else jumps in.

It is still super frustrating. Usually by now the noobs have dropped off. I swear it is like 90% of the people have never played a BF game. It isn't hard. Spawn in your squad, use your class properly and stay together.

But how do you request an order? I tried looking at ghe flag and pressing RB but it never does anything for me.

As frustrating as the game can be, it can be so much fun. So many cool moments. The sound is really good now (except for the footsteps). The Stuka sound is so great. The *snap* of the sniper round that misses just high.

I'm struggling through the support class now. I have most of the assault and medic unlocked. Still no Thompson, but that new medic gun is good enough. Been messing around with the MG34. The thing is a beast if you can get the bipod set up in a good spot.

Yeah the MG34 is a good gun but wait until you get the MG42.

Does you Tides of War rank still go up if you're jyst playing regular conquest or domination? I'm getting sick of squad conquest.

I honestly wouldn't play support until they fix the horrible bipod system...which should be this month.
 
I do ok with the bipods. I usually just stick to the ground. Most people are looking for people behind cover anyway. I find just finding a natural low area gives you great cover. The MG34 upgraded basically has zero recoil and 100 bullets. You can easily wipe entire squads if you get in the right spot.

I unlocked the Lewis which I was looking forward to, but honestly I couldn't do much with it. Maybe I was just too used to the MG34. Being able to aim down sights was a plus obviously but otherwise though it seemed weak on the damage.

I need to get to the higher level support guns. I get so frustrated playing support though. The best thing is to set up over an objective and light it up, but my teammates just sprint in. The assault and medics want to get closer, so I find myself all alone and vulnerable.

Bipods are s***, end of. Even the devs said they were terrible.

You will realoze this when they fix them.

Agreed. There's no reason for your bipod not to deploy when looking out a window. On a very rare occasion it works. It's like you have to be prone for it to deploy and that's not even guaranteed.

They are brutal in windows, but going prone works well. You can absolutely wreck people when you get set up properly, so to me it is worth the headaches. The trick is just finding the right spot. On Fjell you can set up between some rocks overlooking a point and just rain death on people. So much fun. People duck into the houses and you can still shoot them through the wood.

Once they fix them they are going to be even better.

Can confirm. On the desert map with the giant airplane hanger in the middle (still don't know map names lulz) if you're a support gunner and you flank around the side and hide in the hills and go prone, you will rain death upon all.

I mean, I've never been able to do it, I just get killed all the time by them :txbcool:

Aerodrome.
 
Had a game on that map about a week or so ago a guy went 50 something and 0. A truck was pulling him around on a AA gun and they stayed at the edge of the map with tanks covering him the whole time lol.
