Gotta say, I don't mind that the new TTK much even after playing more. I've been about the same either way. It's a little harder to flank and take out a larger group, but you have more freedom to move without the absurd oppressiveness that semi autos and SLRs brought to the field before. Of course, that's still balanced by the trash visibility and prone support plague, but those are issues in both.
New TTK is definitely here to stay. It'll be played more because of its placement and being the default, all the new players will get used to it over the holiday, and switching it back would be a giant hassle for Dice who can barely do even the most basic shit now.

JB2 assignment is just fucked, right? I've been in 2 squads where the leader has called one in and got 3+ kills and not got it. Then I called one in a squad leader myself and got 7+ kills and still didn't get credit. Sucks because the Sturmtiger is the better option 75% of the time.
Has anyone heard how the Tides of War content will be distributed other than the weekly challenges? Like if you miss a week?
Good that they put 2 different conquest modes in game but dont explain it to people, of course the original conquest will have more players.
Then Dice checks the data, new TTK mode have more players, so we keep this.
Just what?!
They should put both modes on equal place with some explanation what both modes are, not hide the old TTK somewhere that typical normal gamers are not gonna try to look for.
Old TTK is doomed to die at this point. Or I mean we will be back at the TTK fight that we had for few days now.

I guess the "Master All Ranges" assignment is bugged, given none of my kills above or below 40m are tracking.
Are all the assignment bugs that people talk here from consoles? Because I have done all assignments I want, only something didnt track maybe 2 times total, in 150h and it always was when I joined friends squad middle of the game I think.
I say they go with base and hardcore lists permanently.
Let the higher skilled players fight it out wirhout my old ass having to be cannon fodder for all the headshotters because I cant move my controller as well, regardless of my strategy and tactics being more measured and smart with the new game and not playing like a banshee like one might have in BF1

An update to this: if you actually click the assignment itself it mentions Arras Conquest. I haven't got time to play a round myself atm, but if anyone is stuck, trying getting a V2 on Arras and let me know.
Nah, PC on my end. Unless I'm missing something with this assignment? Do I have to use a particular weapon, or map?
Sometimes you have to restart the game. I had issues with that one and a restart fixed it.
Pretty sure I have at least 8 kills with the Reinforcements rockets in a squad but still I am not unlocking that last Tides of War assignment. :/
Also, really starting to annoy me that the vehicle icons are still bugged, they give indications that there are transports at the main base but when you spawn there, there are none around.

As soon as I got to that part, first game I took the leader from afk leader, got rocket, got 5 kills, assignment done.
I dont remember anymore. I almost always play conquest.
People are way more active with actually giving orders so it's harder to take them, and when I do get the Squad Leader position, my squad has been always.....less than effective. :(
Will have to give it another try tomorrow.
That time frame is being extremely generous. The game was always fighting an uphill battle for both warranted and totally unwarranted reasons. DICE just keeps adding fuel to the fire with all these idiotic patches that do nothing but cause more confusion and issues. They simply cannot stop fucking up.
So, I'm in a plane just spotting for my team on Hamada. It was fascinating just to watch them keep running into A and dying over and over. Eventually, there is a standoff and they just stop trying to take it all together. Around 200 tickets, someone finally got smart enough to flank and take another point. In all honestly, I should have probably bailed out over one of the points and took it, but I wanted to see how it played out and the spotting seems more useful. However, it got me thinking. The majority of this player base just doesn't care and no amount of TTK changes will fix this.
That's why you have players that never attempt to play the objectives, that's why you have all the support that go prone in a corner, that's why you have all the recon that sit miles away not doing anything, and that's why you have players' not repairing or reviving. If it doesn't get them kills, they don't give a shit.
BF always prided itself in teamwork and yet it just feels like a bunch of players running around just trying to find that best way to get a good k/d. It's pseudo teamwork. It gives the illusion of teamwork, but it's far from it. Then you have the small minority of players that actually have a team oriented mindset and get things done.
Maybe I'm just salty from that Hamada match (we lost 3/3 in the Grand Operation, no surprise there), but I've seen it time and time again. So that's my rant.

You don't need to play on Arras to get it, the assignment is bugged. I was able to get mine on Devastation the other night, and we got my friends theirs on Twisted Steel.
I think they have good chance to make people work as a team with assignments.
I could already see some good matches with everyone reviving, healing and giving ammo last week when tides of war made them do it.
If there was some loop for assignments to give players reason to do that it could make big difference.
But now there is just weekly tides of war that isnt even encouraging to work as team every week and those normal assignments are done once and then you have just weapon assignments left.
Nothing is more important than starting to cap the back points early on. If no vehicle tries to flank, or if no vehicle makes it past the defenses, then someone in a plane needs to do it. The ticket bleed is just way too high when a team has all objectives.
Besides the Drilling, I really like the Selb 1916 after the TTK change. Sure, it has the lowest RoF, but the 26 rounds more than make up for it now.
I saw thebrokenmachines vid and I agree in large. He spoke of how this game rewards defensive scopes playing and that this patch doesn't help but amplify that meta.
Panzerstorm is such a good map. More like that plz.
Also I unlocked the ratburner (by accident, I went to the main menu to see my progress and saw I was already done). It's... not quite peak fashion. Just give me gas masks plz.

A quicker TTK rewards defensive play more than a slower TTK.
There were more cq servers in the EU on bf1 than bfv for me at least last night.
I ended up playing bf1.
The fucking maps are terrible on v. The ammo crate is almost pointless because nobody uses them or they fall through the floor. Dice lost the plot with this one

Lucky. I tried playing BF1 and all I could find were those Road to BFV four-map servers with fucking Suez in the rotation :/
Agreed.
I think Dice should look at stuff like player visibility and asters the meta of people prone with scopes.
And is the new TTK shorter or longer? I play so infrequently I'm genuinely confused.
It's longer. Admittedly it's not too drastic but you'll probably notice everything feels a bit clunky as a result.
I'm definitely not a fan.
Suez is the epitome of a map designed so thoroughly for one game mode it sucks on all the others.
It's one of the best Operations maps, hands down. But it suuuuuucks in Conquest.
I am totally used to it now and think its fine. I play the same as i did before and nothing has much changed. You can react more now yourself on getting hit and thats nice.
The biggest difference has been the spotting issue being fixed. Makes flanks now rewarding.
I wish you'd specify what game mode you're playing when you shit on the maps in BFV. Rotterdam is a really good Conquest map, but jesus christ it's a horrid map for Breakthrough because you have 32 players camping a single point in the parking hall and you have no other points to capture to divide the defenders. I only really play Conquest outside of daily challenges, and most of the maps in BFV are on par with, if not better than, anything BF1 had to offer. Conquest is easily the most popular game mode in BF games, so when people talk about maps it's logical to assume they talk about Conquest versions.
