This forum sucks, and I’m already fed up of Lord mang spamming rubbish threads, just thought I’d share that with the community

Rubbish threads…rekt!

for real , have you checked the bf4 section … such quality gems like ‘’ what do you think of bf4 graphics ‘’ , ‘’ what do you think of rush mode ‘’ , ‘’ what’s your fav weapon ‘’ and the classic ‘’ how do you use tanks ‘’ , and there’s many more .. passive/aggressive trolling at it’s finest … it makes me want to self harm … i mean really

As a big time health n ammo supplier i disagree with your suggestion Sis , but it’s implementation would not stop me playing bf1

Yeah and then there’s the lame weapon reviews lol

I am also in favor of making the med bag or med kit a requirement to be carried. You want a noob tube or mass? It would take the place of your secondary and you don’t get a pistol. Obviously that would have been for bf4, but hopefully you get the gist of what I’m trying to say.

great idea nothing worse than medic or ammo guy who doesnt carry for their gas mask or other selfish reason.

also really interesting discussion I am mainly a hardline player but been back on bf4 more lately. I am all about the teamwork and find myself surprisingly on the side of they should have to drop it.

At first I thought no way hardline has it right but its true does make for more lone wolf type play and people being even more oblivious to dropping med packs and ammo in good strategic places.

the problem is not the system it will always just be new/unaware/bad players that cause the issues.

I think it would be fine either way

I just started playing Hardline and really like the way you can just simply grab ammo or health off of your fellow teammates . I believe this is a really good feature so you don’t have to run around begging dummies for ammo the whole match , Please include this feature to BF1 . Thank you

I definitely agree. I can’t count the numerous times I’ve begged for ammo from support players who are just so oblivious or apathetic enough that they won’t poop out ammo for me!

We are aware of this problem but we will not change a mechanic that gets people to interact. Please use voice chat to talk to these players and as a member of this community I ask you to please explain to these people what their role is on the Battlefield. Battlefield players are not walking TF2 Dispensers!

So I have to communicate with the 32 players on my team ? Do you do that ?

Yes I do talk to my squad mates. And I also stick to my squad mates and we function as a squad and therefore we are more effective as a squad. Is there some problem with teaching the new Battlefielders the ropes? Are they incapable of learning? “Hey Bro, seeing that you are part of my squad, could we work together? You are playing the Support class which can give teammates ammo. Could you throw me some ammo? Thanks mate!” Doubt that is so hard.

I don’t always have a medic or support in my squad , usually 3 recons . Maybe I should spend half of my time sitting in the menu screen searching for the most balanced squad and then hope I can join it , and then hope they are using a mic, then hope they speak English . Just so I can be a true team player like you . Or maybe I can just take it from a clueless randy that is bipoded up staring down a hallway . Yeah I’d rather do that .

When Pubbing, before I spawn I look at my squad to see who’s playing what class. Not enough mix I find one that is mixed. And then I choose my class based on what they are running. No support, well then I’m running support. No AS/meds … I got assault. Pretty simple.

This. It’s very important to have a balanced squad.
I’ve left many a China Rising server/Armored Kill (bf3) server because my entire team was engineers.

Nice edit…I saw original post.

[TheStrategist242]

Any word if this feature is going to be added? Also when is the beta?

[TheCraZyCloWn]

This would be cool.

[MikeManiac61]

I like this idea when i played Hardline. The amount of times on BF4 when i was Engineer calling out for ammo, infuriating.

[MartinBabl]

Hey this dropping of ammo and getting others to heal you are just an inconvenience. Let us just remove them or put in different systems that remove these inconveniences. It is the new Battlefield, remove all the inconveniences. Too difficult to see your enemy through all the dust and debris made by our awesome new destruction system? Add in GIANT FLOATING ORANGE DORITOS above that enemies head. Too difficult to unlock all unlocks, buy the unlock bundle. Too difficult to handle the recoil, reduce the recoil. Battlefield is the new FUN AND CONVENIENT Battlefield.

The hardline system is good. Those who haven’t played hardline are the only ones arguing against it. Arguing from ignorance should be ignored.

Exactly, all the inconveniences in Battlefield Franchise need to be removed as it makes the game no fun. DICE is here to give you the best and most Fun Battlefield experience! It will be convenient for you and if there is anything that brothers you we will try to change it so that you will have the greatest and fun Battlefield experience. I am sure that you will have a lot of fun in Battlefield 1 while we hold your hand.

kind of takes away the fun in jumping around a teammate screaming into the mic, shortly before being killed and taking your rage out on the game.

[Kluttelatti]

Better teammates would be nice~

This feature would stop this from happening . No more rage caused by oblivious teammates. Well at least no rage from teammates not supplying you with ammo. I’m sure they will find different ways to make you rage lol.

Grabbing health might be overpowered but taking a magazine from the support class should be allowed.

interesting I think this could be the way to go. Anyone who has played hardline will know you dont just instantly grab loads of ammo just a trickle.

good idea.

As someone who plays assault medic in Bf4, that sounds like it would lower the experience quality of playing as a medic.

I haven’t played Hardline, so I don’t know for sure how it works, though it sounds like the medic class would become just an assault class, who gives a health bonus to teammates that take them.

As a medic, I always see that players around me who are beneath full health get a medpack thrown to them. Making the medic simply tag-able reduces the class responsibility. It also sounds like it reduces inter-player acknowledgement and cooperation, which is a big part of what Battlefield is about.

To be a medic, the player should be someone that delivers medical aide, and not a moving health-beacon that other players simply tag. The idea sounds too streamlined and too dumbed-down, to me, and similar to an idea of removing reloading (just have the next mag automatically be loaded with no interruption in firing), or mine-laying (just have the mine instantly appear where the cross-hair is pointing).

Delivering health is a gameplay-enriching mechanic, a point of atmospheric immersion, and a team-work and class responsibility, as well as a point of gamer-to-gamer communication. It is a source of gameplay dimension and depth, and I don’t think it should be automated.

I also like the idea of having the ammo carrier need to drop the ammo to be picked up. If they don’t need to actually do anything to provide ammo, then why have limited ammo at all? The concept of player self-refilling their own ammo near an ammo carrier says that having depleting ammo is an unwanted mechanic, and that Battlefield is only about the bang-bang, and not all the other parts. I think that’s not true, and that Battlefield is about everything together, and not just an incessant bang-banging with guns.

I agree with you and some very good points.
