Best weapons in BF1

He drags on a bit but reckons the Selbstlader M1916 Optical version is the best gun for the medic

I'll give it a go later


For Support they are saying that the Lewis Suppressive is good

I was using the Model 10A Hunter shotgun at a mates house earlier and it honestly felt like I was cheating. At quite long range it was still killing with one "shot" a lot of the time.

I've been killed by that a few times. I think they'll nerf some of the weapons

The Lewis Suppressive is as good as they say

Sounds like BC2 where if you used a certain ammo (forget the name) in the shotgun you could get one shot kills at long range...used that a lot

Sounds like slug rounds which are pretty much giant bullets.

Yeah think that was it

magnum ammo if i recall

I'm [censored] useless with it

Been so busy workwise haven't played anything. Hope to get on tonight for the first time since the weekend!

What's my next worthwhile unlock after the sweeper Swanny?

MW remastered is meant to be here today, but I'm not overly confident. Shopto.net only sent me the packing email yesterday lunchtime.

Think I'm using a B B Gun Game looks awesome but i have to confess I'm not really liking this online just like previous BF games and now i know why i haven't really got into them before and moved on to other games.

Think there are only a few online modes and games i like to be honest and not like the past.

Dont worry about it ,i have had games delivered a day early and literally hours after i have received it i have had a email saying despatched, according to the latest email they sent my copy Wednesday night at 9.45pm which obviously they didn't as they are shut.

Its one of very few games that only ever reaches me on the exact release date, not that it matters this year as for one its Cod and it doesn't excite me like the past and two i have nothing to play it on at present.

Lewis Gun Suppressive is good for support

MP 18 Optical for assault

Selbstlader M1916 Marksman for medic

no idea of sniper guns

That's because Activision don't allow companys to send the game more than 1 day before release since COD Ghosts I think it was.

Even though I'm basically a camper

It's here. My wife hid it "for a laugh."

Biatch!!!!

Surprising a lot of the reviews are really favourable and some pretty outstanding to be honest for a Cod Game in general.

Has a COD game ever got a bad review???, Don't think I've ever seen one and that includes advanced warfare which for me was by far the worst one.

Had three or four games this morning that were almost completely unplayable. Everyone a bullet sponge and absolutely no aim assist whatsoever. The last couple of evenings have been much more balanced, with mainly positive K/D ratios, but awful this morning.

Shame because you build up your K/D over a couple or three nights, then an hour decimates it. I know K/D isn't the only marker for success, but when you could only manage a 0.13 K/D on your old connection, it's a good yardstick as to how your new one is performing. I'd got up to 0.75 yesterday, without any decent weapons available.

Too many Abu Hamzas etc in the servers. Where are all the English players going? I'm on a Belfast server, so there ought to be Brits in games.

Yeah Ghosts got Hammered.

yeah think it was the combination of slugs and magnum ammo

I always see Gas everywhere on BF1, So I decided to equip them and see what all the fuss was about, HOLY SHEET they are good, I've thrown 111 of them hit 277 (I guess it registers each tick of damage you do on someone) and killed 20 and I've got kills with them a good 1min after I've thrown the [censored] things.

Also has anyone had enemys that you've done over 100 damage to not die or take more than 100 damage (this isn't someone healing up behind a rock etc), I've had a number of people run at me who I've shot a number of times and the damage score goes well over 100 and they either then die or still don't die.

I've also got a video of a gas grenade that I throw into a room where my mate has just died and there are 2 people in there I get a gas grenade off in there as I die and I do 330 damage before 1 finally dies (I'm guessing I'm hitting both of them for it to be that high but still thats well over the damage they should be taking)

Do people not realise that you can simply put your gas mask on?

I guess a fair few people don't as I get a fair few "damage" scores of 60-90 often so can just run in with my gun (mask on of course) and finish them off (that's if it doesn't just kill them outright)

It's my fav grenade by far as you can just throw one in a tight spot/flag and if you get damage score you know someone is there, If not it's usually safe as no-one has a gas mask on before gas, Also if you need to retreat back away round a corner and throw a grenade they will either stay away from it and allow you to get away or heal or they come round the corner with either mask off and lose most of their health or with mask on and have to hip fire from range giving you a big advantage it's great.

A lot of top BF youtubers saying the gas grenade is OP and I'd have to agree from my personal use, Although like everything I guess it could just be the way I use them.

I might try them out tonight. Do you need to reach a certain level to unlock them?

They are already unlocked
Me and Tex were talking about how many people are using them. When you go into the gas you have to put on your gas mask straight away or you will start to die. The other good thing about them is that people with a gas mask on can't aim down their sights
I'm going to start using them

My personal fav guns for each class now are

Assault
---------

Model 10A Hunter -- very close/close maps
Automatico M1918 Storm -- close to mid (melts people up close)

Medic
--------

Mondrag�n Storm -- any range
Selbstlader M1916 Marksman -- very long range

Scout
-------

Gewehr M.95 Infantry (this is only 1 shot kill with a headshot at ANY range if enemy at full health so seems like its a poor sniper rifle BUT for the way I play aggressive sniper it's awesome as you can take a follow up shot without zooming out (iron sights)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not unlocked myself yet but I've used the Martini-Henry and Hellriegel and they are crazy fun/good.

The best weapon is the on/off button on the console.........Period

Joking apart its a cracking looking game of which yet again i have invested very little time in it just like previous Battlefield games they seem to completely pass me by within days of releases much prefer to play a decent single player game and Watchdogs 2 is that game along side Dishonoured 2.

Im really struggling with online games in general and find the constant grind of ranking up and unlocking weapons tedious and boring last few years.

Invested a little bit of time with MW Remaster and thats a great game, but then again it fails to have me playing for much more than 1 hour and i quickly go back to one of the many single player games i own.

Apart from the Martini-Henry and Hellriegel all the other decent guns can pretty much be unlocked in a few hours of play, From what I've seen ranking up only give you war bonds to buy weapons and so you only need to level up a few times to get a fair few guns so that again is only a couple hours play.

Been tempted to get BF1 at the current price of £31 but decided not to. I also rather single player games these days as you do not have to commit so much time to them and you can just pause any time. Also not so excited for the WW1 setting, maybe when we are back at WW2 or Vietnam

So at the moment I am doing a second play through of Deus Ex and have Doom on the way, been interested in it for a while and couldn't say no at £14.99
