You have no regrets about it which is good. In hindsight though, I think 30-60 minutes a day would be plenty of time to hit level 40. I usually hop on for one match of Breakout each day to get all the daily assignments done and work towards the weekly ToW, and that seems enough to get all the ToW rewards.
Looks like we got our first gameplay from Firestorm. From Braddock.

I said this on Reddit but I'll say it here as well.
That compass better be added to normal MP ASAP.
I said that day one also when they announced spotting became less in BFV.
Technically the compass is in normal MP. Its above the minimap. But its to small and the position isnt great.
I still might get to level 38... but that Tides of War assignment that didn't count is a pain in the ass. Then I played a long long game of Rush where I had the top score in the game and it crashed to desktop on the final objective. I'm guessing the game gobbled up some other earned XP that I just didn't notice as well, as I usually don't pay close attention to the level meter filling up, but now that I don't have any remaining weekly challenges it's obvious the game is fucking me. Time wasting sunk cost fallacy strikes again.
lol WHY CAN'T THEY DO THAT FOR VEHICLE CALL-INS IN REGULAR MULTIPLAYER? Instead of...y'know... hitting the deploy button and wasting a ticket.
Because if it drops like that other people outside your squad can probably take it.
Yes. They probably want to avoid that you drop one and suddenly a random blueberry takes it right away. Both have their pro's and cons.
Also means people can't shoot the shit out of it as it's dropping and by the time you get into your air dropped tank it's already at half health.
Though I guess they could make it invincible until it hits the ground.

At launch, dropping a supply canister on the slope could trigger the rolling deathball. Supply boxes used to sink into the ground...
A trifecta of historical, design and technical limitations was most definitely a factor implementing vehicle call-ins. The off-map call-ins aren't a bad thing, it is just that the UI people at DICE are unskilled.

I guess. I would take having the best of both world with a drop like that while still having that window of exclusive access thought.
Been asking for this since the beta....
The 3x scope usage is a symptom rather than the real problem. We've had 3x type scopes available on most guns in this series for a while now and this is the first game where everyone uses 3x scopes.
Make it so you have to use the binoculars to put it where you want. Then all they would have to do is make it so only your squad can take it when it first drops for X amount of seconds. However, enemies can still take it, so you have to be careful where you drop it. There is risk and reward.
That would be a lot better than the current system.

That's the main reason everyone is using them imo. Then we have the semi autos that can be spammed with little thought to shot pacing at range (BF1's spread increase per shot would fix that...) so it makes no sense to use anything other than a 3x on those.
Or they could just make it so only your squad/the enemy team could drive it
That's why it's risk and reward. If you want to try to call it in during a huge fight to swing it in your favor, that's the risk you take for a huge pay off. If you don't want to take that risk, you drop it somewhere safe.
Seems like the download for Firestorm is already up. I went to play Apex and I got hit with a 10 GB patch for BF V.
It's pending tomorrow. So it could or could not be tomorrow.

Youtube is full of impressions uploading this very minute. Someone not at work please post them! (jackfrags, flakfire, gamespot, ign, etc)
Looks alright. Will give it a try.
Haven't been a fan of other BR games but I enjoy the gunplay of BF V so this one might work for me.

Watched a bunch of videos. It looks fun, something I'll give a chance. Pretty much just sandbox BF. Would I rather have a traditional map and update? Sure, but this looks like it could be fun. Jackfrags brings up a good point though. Are they going to regularly update this or just leave it? If they just leave it with minimum updates, it's probably going to die. If they update it regularly, it could have a decent player base.
I'm not really hyped for it, but it looks like it could be some fun.

Ju52 is in the game now. I wonder if that will replace the German C47 in the update right away.
Watching these Firestorm videos really shows how much more varied and skillful BFV's infantry gameplay could be if there were stricter limits on scopes and if the weapon specialization system was more about tradeoffs. Seeing fights with people using iron sights mostly and having to pay attention to position and flank more instead of everyone having a 3x on every gun is really nice. I'm really eager to play this now.
Hopefully they sponsored some big steamers like Ninja or Shroud (he does like the game) to play it come Monday to give it some more exposure.
Agreed. Like some others posted in the other thread, unlocking the paywall for firestorm would be a good thing for increasing player base IMO.

Couldn't they just implement a short cool down timer to not allow anyone but your squadmates to use the vehicle as long as one of them is alive and within range of it before it opens up to the rest of the team?

Art and lighting direction is set per level. We've made some improvements, but perhaps those are not enough.
Console CPUs cannot handle 60 updates a second being propagated to 64 players. Or well, they can, but not when we're targeting 60 fps. Maybe next gen. :)
