I haven't thought so. Not any more than other BF games. The medic rifle is a 4 body hit kill or two headshot kill. Snipers are two body shots, one head shot. Haven't used the machine guns much, but make sure you pay attention to the damage drop off on the guns, that will make a big difference if you aren't close enough.

Does BF have a hardcore/SWAT mode?

Yes

If you're playing scout, just make sure you stick to cover and pick people off. BF really does reward you for playing your class like you're supposed to. It isn't one that you can be a sniper and still just run into combat and be fine.

For Assault, unless it is real close range, burst fire is your friend. Give the medic class a try too. The starting rifle can be fired fully auto or single shot (hit down on d-pad to switch). It is a four body hit kill within a generous range. I've been able to do some real damage with it. Gives you some more range than the assault class, but still able to hold your own in close quarters. Plus the med packs are key.

Is anyone else having problems with the spotter button? Sometime I can spot and other time no. I'm on Xbox.

I'm like level 16 now but my class upgrades aren't improving. Pretty much don't have anything left to buy until they fix that.

The damn tanks are ridiculous to take down

Hai smoke

Horses have many alternative uses apparently.

Generally, you do not carry over beta progress into the full game. I think that is the case here as well.

Medic is my go to if I'm not doing recon for my squad. We usually have a guy that goes solely medic, so if he isn't on, I'll do it instead. Not a big fan of the other rifles besides the starting one though.

I had some good runs over the weekend with support though. Held down C almost by myself a good bit. Just stayed in one of the buildings, had tripwires guarding both entrances to where I was, ammo crate and anti-tank grenades. Fun times. Had a couple 25+ kill games that way.

Man I'm so sick of this desert map
Can't wait for the full game. Because I hate the sandstorms/heavy fog.. which is precisely why I despised Gulf of Oman on BF4. Still a fun arse game and I preordered once I figured things out. I've been doing really well bouncing around from the heavy tank to a plane (any plane but the bomber). I haven't decided on my favorite class becauss my favorite class is map specific. I find this game to be very well balanced so far.

Rush is so badass. I feel like that's where we're going to see a lot of trench warfare. Or atleast we should. If not, that's poo

It's a beta. We haven't even scratched the surface.
