I haven't been able to do that yet (I know. I'm so bad! ), but do the grenades "turn" on people if you kill the guy before he throws it? That I cant tell you. All I know is I kept running forward and got toasted by the guys incendiary grenade after I killed him as I assumed it was like all previous versions of battlefield and they wouldnt go off unless thrown before death. I see. In my opinion it sounds like a nice feature of the game, although it would kind of suck in narrow passageways like the ones on Amiens.

Most things kind of suck in the passageways on Amiens; hand grenades, flamethrowers, shotguns, flares. It's a massive clusterfuck.

It is however fun to park at the end of the alley with a Lewis gun and suppress the fuck out of an attack.

It is however fun to park at the end of the alley with a Lewis gun and suppress the fuck out of an attack. Oh yeah, it's hilarious either way. Yesterday I was on Monte Grappa and half the Austro-Hungarian team barricaded themselves in the bunker under the fortress guns, and just shot the fuck out of the Italian team trying to get through the only two doors in. They tried to drive a tank in there, and sent in a flamethrower, and they still held out the whole game. This was on Operations, so it was basically a massive stopping block. The Italians managed to move up about two sectors on the first map and then ran into this bunker full of angry Austrians and somehow expended all three of their battalions on it and still didn't win, even with two Zeppelins. It was ridiculously funny.

I don't think I've actually seen the behemoths change the outcome of the battle before. You can just stay out of their way and they're pretty useless. Especially the train. Just stay away from the rails and you won't even know it's there.

It was ridiculously funny. I see that happen all the time on Conquest on either Monte Grappa or Empire's Edge. I will even admit that I have partaken, usually by myself, in such activities. There was one game on Empire's Edge where me and King Erasmus locked ourselves in one of the guns on G. The enemy team capped it, but they didn't check the gun emplacements. I was watching the door with my Lewis Gun while he manned the gun, just in case. So while we were in there, I kept telling him to hold his fire because they didn't know we were there. So the enemy gets a Dreadnought and he holds his fire until it gets right in front of the gun. Let's just say that that Dreadnought didn't know what hit it.

Shoot the Gondolas on the Zeppelin for extra kills. However, in Operations they add another harder hitting dimension.

Anyone else feeling the campaign is a bit too repetitive? It's basically a constant stream of stealth missions. I think the Italian one is the only one that isn't. Even the tank battles one has a lot of stealth involved. It doesn't feel very total war-ey to me. It feels like a James Bond game set in the 1910s.

Emptied all 47 bullets from a Lewis into a guy who was Level 90. He killed me with an OSK from a Kolibri. Haxx much.

Anyone else find it annoying that the closest to a Webley is the Webley-Fosbery Automatic, and even then it's only for the Medic class?

I am fucked off that again I shoot the shit out of an opponent and they shoot me ONCE with an M1911 and I die. The wanker even waited for me to Reload before shooting. And I was still on full health at the time with none of the flashes showing I was being shot. Operations AGAIN.

Yes I do. Or these people who are already up at Level 70+ need to get a playmate and turn off the XBone

Anyone feel like the Assault class gets a load of good AT weapons and everyone else doesn't really get much? They get the AT grenades, the rocket gun, the mines and the dynamite. On top of that the AT grenade can be used as two more, extra-powerful grenades to kill infantry with when you run out of normal ones. The Scout only gets the K rounds, which realistically are pretty useless. I mean, they do about 4 damage and just draw the tank's attention towards you. And you only get five. The Support only gets the limpet charge, which is okay but it's not much, and you need to get up close. And then the Medic only gets the rifle grenade, which is pretty shit against tanks since it's basically a normal grenade. Basically if you're not Assault your only chance is run away or hope that you can use a nearby field gun without attracting a hail of gunfire.

Its reverted back to set roles for classes. Assault is the AT Demolition role. Medic is Medic. Support is ammo and Suppressing fire. Scout is spotting and long range suppression. Ive never used K rounds for tanks. Stationery Weapons, Horses and Elite classes however eat K bullets. Gas the hell out of tanks.
