Let me say Im hopefully hopeful this includes the 6p start and possibly some server browser tweak. We can only.. well hope.

For those interested please see below: Translation from developerese: Basicly you have to spend less time in the cap area to get the cap points. So in stead of hitting Point Apples on Amiens and sitting there the entire time you can leave and proceed forward sooner and still get cap points and likewise if you have to foot the run to a cap but need to stop and shoot someone's face off you aren't penalized as you would be before. So basicly they have reduced the max points availible for capping a point BUT you dont need to spend as much time on the point and have a better chance of getting rewarded for capping /neutralizing the point. This IMHO is the best part. Now it is not one squad running from point to point one behind the other capping points then recapping them as it is now which to be fair gets pretty boring. Instead you will receive a bonus for seeing a point going down and retaking it whereas now you get squadouche for not capping a half captured point. So here's the breakdown if you hold the majority of the flags you get a side wide bonus plus any squad defend orders that are issued if you defend the point. You also get points for neutralizing and capping a flag and you do not have to be in the cap zone the whole time. Looks to be a positive change but needs testing. Will update as soon as I know more.

There has been quite a bit of discussion on the CTE Subreddit about RSP this week. Dev response has been shall we say guarded. We shall see what becomes of it.

I do want to clarify some info I handed out to Hubba and the guys last night regarding this program. 1) Until its checked out and refined this initiative is active for Battlefest for now. It could stay it could go away. Reception of the program and probably its use will deem whether it's worthwhile for DICE/EA to pursue further. 2) While the "guests" are playing the DLC content they have not purchased they will not receive XP for the maps in that DLC nor accumulate progress towards unlocking DLC weapons or be able to use said weapons. That said all XP and progress is stored and it the player buys the DLC or premium they will get the xp and be awarded progress towards the content weapons retroactively as per DICE. I have likewise provided input to the guys in the CTE that maybe to make it a bit more enticing for players to play the content to award limited exp while keeping the rest of the restrictions. Somewhere between 25 and 40% with the rational that who wants to spend a night playing DLC maps with absolutely no benefit. We shall see and i will keep you up to date. While I am at it Battlefest is active now. New maps play well and there was a 2x exp last night. Played CTE a bit and then played on a couple of custom servers. It's been very refreshing to take a break and play Wildlands as we have and not think about BF1. Playing last night was very nice and I really wasn't all triggered while playing. You can tell progress is being made. One last note. The Automatic resupply of grenades that was introduced in the DLC pack , due to the collective loosing of our shit on the CTE, is being rolled out of the game and a timer based solution that is triggered by touching a crate will probably be introduced making resupply in BF1 very similar to the resupply mechanic in BF4 HC mode. Yes, I believe, I was the first one to suggest this to them hahah. They are releasing more details today and i will let you guys know what they have planned as soon as they do.

Nice find. Never thought about that. Will def. come in handy for Rocksmith going from headset to home theater output. Thanks

Already submitted for them to put at least 1 char padding between tag and name.

Also cool if your squad contributes the most towards a point cap, your Platoon logo is displayed on a banner on the point. Now that's cool. Will try to get screenshots

yeah no need to keep it around unless yer all nostalgic and all. Servers are gone so it wont have anything to hit.

https://www.battlefield.com/news/article/introducing-premium-friends-a-word-from-our-producer Basicly if you have the premium pass you can bring in your friends who do not however they wont be able to work towards weapons and DLC content other than just play with Vanilla weapons. Read the full article for details but sounds like a good idea!

Just posted today: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/626wmh/platoons_update/?ref=share&ref_source=link Here come the platoon features for us. Will update once I get the update downloaded tonight. Also the new Ammo 2.0 is being partially redone. The automagically spawning nades are going to be removed. Could end up with Core mode looking a lot like HC mode as far as ammo and nades go. Will update as soon as a know more. One awesome thing: So we fill a Squad It be comes The Armory squad. NICE!

dafuq? Thats wierd

The only problem is it uses the M2 slot on your board so if you only have 1 addressable M2 slot then you either have to choose between a fast SSD or this memory. Granted they do make an M2 slot add on card but it seems like the bus on that would be a bottleneck.

You forgot the drinks and refreshments included.

Oh my, Look what has popped up on the CTE http://i.imgur.com/4YdirGK.png

True, but ya dont need to go full Leroy Jenkins either. Just sayin. BO....HICA TUUUUUUSCCCOOOON!

Back in town and recovering from self induced alcohol poisoning. No not really but tequila is definitely off my consume list for a bit. We won! The group played exceedingly well and we finished with a combined 12 under par for the weekend. Now if I can just get my scores down to 12 under I can retire and play golf for a living hahaha. Cya online tonight.

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_live/comments/60j0zt/march_20th_update/ While I was not a huge fan of the last patch that was pushed with the DLC due to the "automagically" appearing grenades and some nerfs to weapons that didn't need them whilst ignoring the 2 most abused and spammed weapons in the game,... nuff said, I have to say that with the changes included in this CTE patch it looks, at least on paper , that they may be on to something here. Also if you look through the notes you will see three items of note: Especially anti-tank gadgets might end up being too weak for AT purposes. Some gadgets had their damage adjusted already, but it might not be enough. (More Boom Boom is always good when dealing with tanks) Adding aim assist setting for custom games. (Thank you God.) And the biggie... Added setting for break pre-round to be 6 players. I have requested clarification on these and asked that we be given some sort of information on the remaining basic features: Multiple admins VIP slots a Move feature Password protection Tags / server messages / banners Presets Will let you know here if I get any info regarding these. Kind of intrigued bu the minimal spawning ammo thing pretty much requiring a support player crate to get max ammo. I think i like it.

Faith is hawt and Carlos is and always shall be the effin man.

Try not to zoom too far ahead of me. Off to play in a Golf Tourney. Wish me luck.

yeah but they stopped it

Absolutely LOVE it! It rewards tactical play and stealth. For instance played last night and didn't die at all. Took my time and advance slowly taking out lookouts and snipers using stealth. Then here comes Bohica. Hahaha lets just say subtlety is not his strong suit hahaha we were successful in a brute force kind of way however and had a lot of fun just messing stuff up. You get three AI teammates if you solo but if you group in coop it's just you guys which is fine. Honestly if you have patience and can play tactically you can complete a lot of the missions even without the AI squaddies. All in all I give it about an 8.5 out of 10

Yep. The lack of any type of preset and the complete and utter failure of the server browser along with a 20P start is killing the game quicker than any type of cancer House has ever seen. Thats pretty damned quick ya know. I wonder if by some weird twist the server is getting QM traffic since it set to official settings? hummm

So apparently Im not the only one 63 upvotes in less than 24hrs. Noice

Thats awesome. Probably uninstalling tonight. Sipping fine Scotch if I do it. Not feeling the love from DICE at all.

quite a few of those kinds of kills they have someone holding the guy in interrogation mode aka cheating. You do need to have a spotter much closer and have to be scoped in from about 600m to even see them at all.
