Saw this today figured it might be useful for those of you playing BF5. -Kurinar

So small update on the status of the game. Just so its noted everything said above still applies. This morning i was able to load in and join a game. Overall exactly what i expected but to highlight some positive and negatives see below: 1. Great gun play - each gun feels unique and your not just throwing it around like its a toy. Want to run that heavy gun, good but don't expect to clear hallways like the guy carrying an SMG the best way i can relate this is weight is a thing. Recoil was also good and each gun performs uniquely allowing you to learn and find the gun best suited for you or the situation. One thing i see lots complaining about but i personally enjoyed is that friendly fire being on. If you just spray and pray that clueless "Bob" to your right is going to run in front of you and then inevitably complain that you shot him. I did not team kill anyone but there were times i hit players and players hit me. This is something that will improve greatly with people on comms and in actual squads. 2. Overall movement - I have very few issues with movement around the map. Cover was plentiful and the character your playing seemed to run and jump without issues. The lean function was great (although i need to see if you can toggle it - default is hold). Going prone seemed a little awkward. I also ran into two bugs related to prone position. The first was i went prone and half fell into the floor and could not get out (had to suicide). While in this position i could not only see enemies running on other levels, but you could also shoot and kill them through the wall/floor. This is obviously a bug but if your getting shot and cant see anyone its likely this bug. The second issue with prone was when spawning on a squad leader that is prone. I did this once and fell through the world. 3. Spawn locations - This one i fully expected and i expect it will be improved. There seemed to be set spawn locations and the logic to not spawn you in those locations right next to an enemy is not there. This was probably my biggest negative in the one match i played. With that said it was easily prevented by just not spawning on the "hot" point. Select one nearby and strategically clear the objective.

Well surprise patch today 13.88 GB download. So far have not found any information about this download. Just a heads up. UPDATE: New Update on Special Operation 2 -Kurinar

Doc is shown in the video using the P90, and the toxin guy is shown using the SMG that the diversion kit has. Both solid gun choices.

Looks good Gator! I personally like the truncated front page a lot more, just looks cleaner.

Something interesting to watch. I've now read this in a couple places i guess its a wait and see game at this point PC Gamer article on this topic -Kurinar

Here is some more information that maybe helps clarify or let you hear some of the bullet points above put into words. They are keeping a lot of details hush right now which as we all know can mean many things. Interview by Jackfrags with Design Director, Dan Berlin over Battlefield V

The H2R is the racetrack variant of the H2 and is not road legal. That said it is significantly lighter and has more power/torque. The Kawasaki H2 is and unbelievable machine. I believe its still one of the only, if not the only, stock supercharged bikes rated at 200 mph from the factory. Oh and the bike in the video hit 248.5 mph for those that don't like metric.

Good to see action being taken on these attacks. Sad to see it took them 8 years: "...DDoS attacks against World of Warcraft's European servers back in 2010. "

Throwing grenades in game has been a topic of discussion lately. How are people throwing them so far, how are they getting them around corners and so forth. There has even been a couple hacking claims made by the lower ranking people coming into the game because they do not understand how the mechanics work. The video is not mine and all credit goes to DeltaElite who plays mostly on the PS4 platform. With that said the concepts are exactly the same no matter the platform you play on. Enjoy! Hope this helps.

That looks great. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

I'm worried about smoke causing lag. We will see how it goes, but if working well it could be a very strong feature and reason to bring the LMG's to limit enemy usage.

Interesting...You would think PC would be first due to all the hassle to release to console platforms.

Ok so looks like depending on weapons issued the sniper may be getting a bit of a break. Trapper and Stalker have some very good group play improvements for the long range role.

Interesting...I may be tempted to check this spot out again from time to time.

I like the idea of map vote, but at the end of the day it results in maps being ignored. I do agree with Rebel right now they have a serious issue with the extraction maps. I think in theory the game mode is good but it needs some tweaks. Mines while fun are an issue - pathfinder is the only way to succeed if one trick is known. I think class roles need tweaks. I think general team play needs to be better rewarded so that people participate more frequently. The person lone wolfing 400 meters away should generally be discouraged. For example lets say you spot someone and they get killed by a team mate, why should this person not get some points. They just helped the other three members of their team identify and eliminate a target. For Example the Diversonist - you can not score any points while using your drone. You are very very helpful to your squad (if communicating) but get nothing in return. The catch here is you can not mark with this class, so if that is your role you will have 0 income of points. Not an issue if your being competitive and not trying to rank up, but the majority of people in the game are trying to rank up. I should mention this is probably a favorite class of some who play lone wolf in random groups. Self droning and pushing is very effective if you can remain not spotted, but again no promotion of team play here. For those of you that made it this far ill step down from the soap box as i could continue for a long time. At the end of the day though i really enjoy the game and it could be much better with some small tweaks and a little promotion from Ubisoft. Cant count how many times I've heard "oh they released pvp for that".

Congrats nothing more satisfying then dropping a big monthly bill.

Good find Rebel!

happy birthday Gator
