I don't understand the scoring of this version of conquest, no longer just counting down tickets. I played games last night that we held the majority of the points the entire game and got completely destroyed, like lost by 80 or more points.

The tank is the only real vehicle that is pretty unstoppable on foot, everything else isn't bad. Now, if you're playing by yourself and have bad teammates, that can change. 2-3 shots from the k-bullet the scouts have destroys most of the cars. The incendiary grenade actually did really well against vehicles as well.

I feel at some point we had 2 or 3 people at a capture point and it took forever to capture it. Could have been because an enemy was close enough to slow that down, but does it seem slower to anyone else?


ETA As far as the scoring, no idea. I know the more points you have captured, the faster the other teams tickets diminish. I was just trying to get used to everything so didn't really pay attention to the score.

Yea, it definitely seemed slower to me as well. I tried capturing one by myself, could have gone and made a sandwich while I was waiting.

What kind of sandwich? I would normally go with turkey and pepperjack but I've been in a PB&J mood lately.

I didn't see anything about tickets though. Points are counting up now, you start at zero. There were multiple games me and the guy we were playing with were like how did we lose when the game ended.

Had to find a youtube video on it and you're right. So weird. Like I said, I'm just play Domination in BF4 so I can't say if this is something new to Conquest, but I feel it's always been on a ticket system. Strange.

Some guy on twitter I follow just said there are no "revive" symbols for the medic class now, it has to be requested by the downed player?

Yep. When you die, you have a button option to request a revive, then a symbol shows up.

Thanks for bringing that up though because that was another issue I had. I don't mind that system, but the icon is still almost impossible to see, so nobody does revives. Same with spotting enemies. You can't even tell half the time because the icon is not very visible.

Yea, you can hold X (PS4) down to just respawn, or you press R1 to request a revive. Then it will alert a medic that you need attention. As the downed player, it will tell you how far away a medic is from your location.

lulz

I had the hardest time with that too. Spotted a tank and saw this tiny speck show up above it..............really? Someone had spotted this guy shooting from a window and I didn't see it for the longest time.

That sounds alright. Saves you from the point whore medics who revive in the middle of a hailstorm of bullets and you just end up dying right away, which I want to say counts as two deaths on your score..........if that stuff matters to you.

Yea, I kind of like the system, it just needs to be more visible. It helps keep the realism a little bit because there aren't revive icons all over the place.

That's probably what they are going for with the spotting thing too, but I would have just kept how it was from 4. It was fine just like that for spotting.

I can understand making some things smaller to clean up the screen, but I think they were over zealous with the slider.

It's common knowledge that folks in the early 1900s had bad vision, ergo the diminished spotting and revive icons.
