None of the classes are doing their job

Medics refuse to give medkits. SOMETIMES revive.

Supports refuse to give ammo and repair. These guys are the absolute worst.

Recons refuse to use the spotting scope or flare gun. These guys are the second worst.

Assaults SOMETIMES shoot enemy tanks.

Everyone is just running and gunning like it's call of duty. I'm just blasting at the medics and supports asking for stuff but they just run past or ignore me. I am talking about high level players here. Nobody cares. I don't know how to play with these people. Treat them like some early access easy level bots maybe. At this point I don't expect anything from them. I don't know why I'm even trying to ask for the stuff. I need it. But I know it's not coming.

  • 'Run-n-Gun' :


    Like Mickey Mouse stealing the Wizards magic wand .
    Fun to use , but (ironic in this instance) inevitably destructive .


    I mean , there's water to be carried , a floor to be swept , but . . .
    It's just too much fun waving that magic wand gun at things .

    Picking up that bucket or grabbing that broom handle?

    Too many these days say 'That's a job for someone else' .

    As a career 'Odd Jobber' always looking for this work ,

    I've never been busier ; the Game is never boring .

    . . . wherever I feel I need to be next , THIS is almost always true :

    It's my box of bullets and not my flying bullets that's needed most . 

  • @Andretti2014 I don't find any of that to be true but everyone running and gunning. You just can't expect the support people to drop what their doing just to cater to you personally. Yeah i have had medics run past on a revive, but a lot of revives do happen

    Try using the comm rose and requesting medic or repairs, their icons will start blinking on the mini map as to who is running that kit, Instead of just blasting at them.
  • @fragnstein Expect support people to drop what they are doing just to cater to me personally? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT??? HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED THE GAME???

    I park my tank right in front of a support guy. Yes, I actually use those icons above the team mates to know what class they are playing. Literally melee range and spam NEED REPAIRS. He stared at my tank for a few seconds. He ignores me. He just runs past. Such behavior is extremely common.

    Same thing about ammo. I'm just blasting with the pistol point blank while spamming NEED AMMO. Ignored. I never see an ammo box dropped. SOMETIMES I get the useless ammo pouch. From guys that are very high level. Yeah support dude. You have the useless starter gear when you have skins that cost more than the entire game. I will just shoot that tank with my rifle. Thanks for the bullets.

    @Andretti2014 Have i even played the game? Yes, about 2k hrs worth. Sorry we don't share the same point of view. If someone playing support is running the box, you can always get bullets off their back by pressing E. As far as throwing the box, its possibly on cool down. Yes it does happen that people don't fulfill their roll, but I believe you are over exaggerating about its happening all the time
  • No one plays as a team in this game!  Which allows those ranked way up on the boards to just dominate the matches. 

    When DICE did not include the ability for every class to spot the enemy, Dice created a game where there can not be and never will be competitive play. Not only that,  the game mechanics are so bad compared to previous BF games. I kept catching myself always adjusting my mouse sens in game because It never felt right to me. 

    I was so frustrated with being one shotted by snipers and shot from behind so much I eventually uninstalled the game!  It became no fun to play anymore. I know those out there will have all this advice about how to play the game blah blah blah. But it doesn't matter. this game is broke to me and no fun to play. Those of us who are playing with weapons with no attachments unlocked, do noy have a chance to unlock because we are getting owned!  Like I said no ability for every class to spot and unfair competitiveness is a game breaker IMO. 

    BF V and 2042 are the worse bf games I have ever played! 

    Bring back the BF 1, BF 3 and BF 4 devs for future BF games. They got it right

    'Jiggly Man' NEVER runs anywhere in a straight line .
    His zigging and zagging can literally empty a snipers mag .
    'Antsy Man' NEVER stands still once he's reached cover .
    He never knows if a scope followed him the whole way there .
    . . sorry about my "blah blah blah" on simple sniper avoidance .

    ". . I kept catching myself always adjusting my mouse sens in game because It never felt right to me. ."
    That right there is a horror story .
    I remember doing that a few Games ago , to disastrous results .
    Best to just leave things alone and get used to the way things are .

    Have we even played the game? Yes, I think so. But how about you? TBH you sound like the typical whiny low rank. If I had to guess, I'd say that 20 out of 100 "high ranks" (lvl 300-500) are n00bs with just to much time. So 80% of them know how to play the game.

    I have about 10.000 revives received while I revived almost 17.000 times. But I don't have the impression that medics are ignoring me when downed. Is your "revive - revive received" representing a similar ratio? If not, you are probably part of the problem.

    I'd also consider myself as a tanker. Out of 100 tanking rounds there are probably only 1 or 2 with someone repairing my tank (often when its part of weekly TOW). Even when not long range camping, a tanker probably runs out of ammo first before urgent repairs needed.

    So why don't you do the job yourself? You need spotting... recon with pistol carbine. Not as effective as an smg or assault rifle but still doing a good job. But you are probably more the longe range sniper guy.

    See players attacking a tank? Spawn as support rather than another assault.

    As a tanker, keep control of resupply stations. Thats part of your job.

    PS: I witness some sort of domino- effect on revives. When I start reviving ppl, they tend to revive others more often which leads to some sort of chain reaction increasing general team revives.

    Try to play the game more often. Try to be on point and useful instead of longe range. Try to become better and you will notice that most things that annoy you not done by your team mates actually starts with you.

    Ya I always feel like I have to do everything myself. At least there are a ton of resupply stations riddled across the maps...
