Its still funny how many claim its dead, when if it was that dead to them they would have most likely move on, forums included. Oh well, thin the herd and leave more players that like the game!
While I agree with you that ttk2 sucks(I use to think it was good until A few hundred hours), Looking at your stats, I don’t really see any hinderance in your gameplay? If we look you up on battlefield trackers you’ve steadily improved. Look at your recent games and the Recent KD for a week straight is way above your regular KD. It seems to be you’re doing well despite the ttk changes. I don’t see how TTK2 should affect you to the degree you can’t PTFO as a scout. ttk2 makes it annoying, but it shouldn’t damn near stop you.
It has nothing to do with my personal performance, it’s all about the gameplay. I worked hard to improve my game and as I got better the game got worse, I feel betrayed by DICE who released one thing and then completely morphed it into this abomination.
I don’t much PTFO anymore, long range sniping with iron sights to teabag the scoped out nubs is the game.
You can pick up the Revolution edition of the game which includes all the DLC gun and map packs cheap in most places now, in my local Tesco’s its £22. So if your wanting to cut your teeth on BF series before BF2018 comes out, its worth a deep in your pocket, despite some of its problems that have been patched in.
As for the best Medic rifle debate, I’m not one for looking too deep in to the stats of a gun and pick what feels right for me, but my go to gun is the Autoloading 8.25 extended, a good close quarter rifle with a nice clear view when aiming down sight and not to shabby hip fire. Didn’t like the Howell, I just cant get used to its off centre sights even with the AA sight on it and I like iron sights over the optical sights.
BF1 is close to dead. There’s only around 20 populated conquest servers left. I’m definitely getting tired of running into the same players over and over again due to the low player count.
Even this forum feels dead lately.
I’ve noticed this as well, especially look at old threads and seeing people who used to post all the time who you never see anymore. 
I think a “perfect storm” of crap has really put a hurting on the Battlefield 1 fan base. A combination of a half final expansion, ttk 2.0 completely destroying the gameplay, and horrific server performance(US east and Australia notably) has really hurt the game.
Why exactly did they change the TTK..does anyone know that?
The quick summary:
-Smgs require 1 less bullet to kill in cqb, also the smg 08 was tweaked to make a Hellriegel/Automatico child.
-
Lmgs were buffed to be a 4-5 bullet to kill(depending on range) also had their ADS time nerfed and basically were made into a defensive class where bipoding turns them into high damage, high rpm, laser beams of death.
-
medics had their spread increase per shot cut in half, meaning they can be fired at their maximum fire rate without the bullets flying all over the place. Their cqb weapons were untouched, which means they are much more underpowered when compared to the assault and support.
-
scouts stay the same, so you get less aggressive scouts and more hillhumpers.
So the game has this weird disjointed feeling where the game is a crazy melt fest on caps, and outside it is a slow camp fest.
Because the little known YouTuber MarbleDuck wanted it so he can run and gun with his smg’s like a COD player, for him to then rage quiet the game because scouts kept killing him with their trip bomb’s because he couldn’t look where he was going.
Ah yes,I remember the Clip was uploaded here.
So Dice is listening to a Youtuber?I´m not sure if this is a good strategyto keep all players satisfied..
would already be nice if it was a strategy..
also look always that youtubers have no recoil or spread on the weapons..and see more then me..lol
Nm…
Honestly if you are wanting to buy a Battlefield just wait till Battlefield 2018.
Dead.
Lol this forum got large fast very large battlefield fan base so what do you guys think of COD…
Not yet, but they are trying to make the game gradually worse as it gets closer to the new bf game release.
No. But yes.
Not sure if it is dying.. or just for me
GTA V a 4 year old game has nearly 60K people playing it @ the mo on PC alone, bf1 less than 20K. It’s all gone schrodinger’s really, but their eating cake and drinking champagne in DICE LA so they must be happy with the paltry numbers.
