Me too, I’m gonna buy this game on ps4 as fast as I can

[@Konrad_IV]

Bought the ps5 edition and hope so too. Haven't had the time to play yet but I'm pretty stoked to see how it plays.

True I play Verdun time to time as well and that games player base died very quickly lol

This game is crashing on me all the time. I still haven't seen the end of a match and I'm losing progress because I'm crashing every match. It's day 3 after release. If they don't patch this soon I don't see the community sticking around.

My last game, I spent all the battle as Mountaineer spotting enemies with binocular. At the end I scored 0 kills, but machine gunners and artillery men of my team probably loved my work.

Your a saint I love it when people play mountaineer it makes every other classes job so much easier

[@huggniceman4975]

I was digging on the rifleman, but then discovered the Mountaineer class, and fell in love. Carbine length rifles, and I have been saying for years now that this series needs some sort of spot/ping mechanic to help call attention to enemies for your team.

thanks for the tips! this game is a huge step-up compared to verdun and tannenberg. since i did not play these 2 games since a long time, would love a similar guide videos on the main team-objective mode

[@ChillAssTurtle]

I really appreciate that your videos are short, sweet, n to the point but without leaving out important smaller details.

[@no-legjohnny3691]

I love that every class has its use in this game. Riflemen bolster the specialist classes and make the backbone of the team, engineers build defensive structures or offensive weapons to slow down attackers or break apart defenses, assault units provide heavy fire support with mobile LMGs and grenades, mountaineers zip around and spot enemy movements, and marksmen provide accurate precision fire to take out any important targets. But most important of all in my opinion is the officer. Utilizing a whistle to mark important areas for people to attack or defend or to call people back into the fight faster if they die, utilizing fire support to make holes in defenses or curb attacks, and using his class skills to help his team win the fight. A good officer can make or break an offensive and should be left in the hands of more experienced players.

[@lethalfelix]

Concise intro, comprehensive information, and decent suggestions for how to use the class? That's a like an subscribe for me! Do you normally cover new shooters at launch??

[@BoomstickGaming]

I cover just about ANYTHING at launch, if it's of impressive quality. If something is junk, I often don't even put it on the channel.

[@maxwellgarner3445]

excellent video and analysis, in Verdun i play the officer and jump in a trench just as the mortar ends and force all my guys in with me. I hope to do the same in Isonzo lol

[@nilsmadej9091]

Great video, despite learning it quite quickly in the game, it's still nice to have a thorough overview. As for the favorite roles I play a little bit of each but generally gravitate towards the more aggressive play styles. I disagree with officers hanging back on the battlefield, their place is in the thick of it and only phones hold me back. But as in previous games I as an officer often initiate pushes. The assault troop is very versatile but i enjoy two types the most, grenade spamer and lmg rush. With three grenades and a box you can throw them nearly nonstop. Lmg is best when you flank an enemy and strike them from a hidden position. Mountaineer is also a lot of fun. With binoculars and movement speed buff one can get into vantage points quickly and spy on the enemy while taking pot shots. Or something I like to do on the map with the fort right when the mountainous part begins, it's to take a swig from the canteen and with the increased speed stealthy build a spawn point and destroy enemy's. I think that they made all of the roles very fun with many good synergies that it's sometimes hard to choose what loadout to pick. Although I do hope they'll add more different weapons, perhaps some older carcanos?

[@wafflez-man-1995]

Cool game to play. I like it and deffinetly will be playing for a good while. It's so badass when you get alittle killstreak because you can die fast and everywhere. For me I'm a big infantry guy and run with assault and rifleman like the main go to for me. Tbh they are all effective as long as you can play there roles!!!

[@SCP--zj7xy]

I like all of them, but mountaineer has to take the top. I like combining the light infantry perk with a bugle, to be able to move incredibly fast and infiltrate the enemy. I also like combining the spotter perk with the binoculars to help the team see where the enemies are.

[@eSKAone-]

A lot of each. Great game 💟

[@3bm59]

Rifleman is the best class in every Game.

[@ish..]

Great video! I’m excited for mountaineer class. I play Enlisted mostly. I like marking enemies in that game. I think it’s an important part of teamwork (but not many players do this). So I like the fact that this game makes it a real integral part of the game. Looking forward to trying the engineer class as well.

[@JapanKilledChineseBabies]

[@josephlambert1565]

I bounce from engineer to mountaineer. I'm just suited depending on the match.

[@thewhiteowl9885]

The mountaineer is by far the best class, the carbine rifles have great handling with good ironsights, and in narrow maps you can spot the whole enemy team with one flare when you know the spawnpoints.

[@SL4PSH0CK]

hope this breaks the general stigma for Sony playerbase that doesnt find this genre or time demanding and complex titles that demands a thought process favourable; same as w/ crpg, mil-sim, rts, isometric, turn-based, retro, or titles that comes to smalled studios in general. never forget Hell Let Loose, DOS2, Pathfinder, Wasteland 3, ...

[@seemorebutts8053]

You have to hold a position for a bit before you can push. Get cover and take them out. How you think war was? There's no rules in playstyle you just have to be ready. If you're getting killed too much than you're doing something wrong.

I need to spot 20 enemies with a periscope to get an achievement that I want. But how on earth do I do that? I have played this game since the day it came out, and I have never seen a periscope in the game. A class also has the ability to construct a periscope. But I can't find any way to construct a periscope...

[@Kerestin1]

The Mountaineer class can build a periscope. You have to equip the ability on the class menu, then use the shovel to build it.

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

@@Kerestin1 Thank you so much! It worked. I have been running all over the map for several months, looking for a periscope...And all I needed to do was using the shovel. Lol. I feel so stupid. Last night I spent hours trying to figure out how to build an ammo crate. I finally figured out that also, after choosing class ability and shovel. There should be some instructions in the game on how to do stuff.

[@bamajr21]

how do you spot like that on ps5

[@internetguy2760]

As a mountaineer, equip the pair of binoculars, hold L2 to look into them, and hold R2 to spot enemies. Enemies that are obscured in gas or smoke cannot be spotted (even if you can physically see them) but you can spot multiple enemies at once if they’re out in the open

Shotguns were not used a lot in any conflict, most soldiers had bolt action rifles in ww2 as well Also the classes are limited but you can have a lot of non regular riflemen

[@wizzotizzo]

Shotguns were limited and would probably be op in this game in some close quarters maps, but the same developers who made this game also made a game called 'Verdun', you can use a marine squad and one of the roles uses a shotgun

[@youdogsgit]

Apparently the game only allows 1 of the 4 marksmen to use a scope, which is a game deal breaker for me. Can’t understand that logic

[@haverofswag7328]

Well you have to consider how insanely powerful the scope is. The same power level consideration is the reason why there are only two officers allowed, their call ins are inredibly powerful. The weapon sway when using iron sights combined with the low visibility of enemies beyond midrange makes long range gameplay almost impossible, unless you are playing the marksman class. The scope is simply a tool which is too powerful to allow for more than one player to have it.

[@setanta3741]

Scopes were exsspenive and for only the best at this time aswell if you lack the skill to hit long shots without a scope that's all you man

[@youdogsgit]

@@setanta3741 lol. funny that you assume i can't hit without a scope. it's not about that gumball. it's about enjoying a video game and having the option. On battlefield 1 I usually play without a scope, but can switch when I feel like it. It's a game, not a war sim.

[@youdogsgit]

@@haverofswag7328 I'd be fine with them limiting the snipers further, but would like to have the option of using the appropriate gear for the class. There's no advantage of playing a marksman without a scoped rifle.

Yeah i get what you mean but i would argue that this is not entirely true, as the perks that can used and unlocked with the marksmam do benefit him in very role specific ways that aid the playstyle pretty significantly i would say
