They aren't the same thing. I am perfectly entitled to complain about being spawn camped within minutes of a match starting and still be okay with DICE nerfing the ability of the losing team to be able to steal victory from a superior team at the last minute.
They are separate problems.
I take it there's no way to resupply grenades at all, no?
Long-time Battlefield player here, and I'm kind of so-so on BFV so far. I like how the game looks, the gunplay is fine, the TTK is something I can live with, but my main issue is not being able to make out enemies in the background. I dunno, it's just a bit harder to make out compared to past BF games. I'm colorblind but even so, it has never been this tough.
On another note: I have a sneaking feeling that BFV won't sell well. It might be due to the EA backlash, what that exec said about not buying the game if you don't want to, etc., but also, because it deviates from the BF formula a bit too much. Before anyone pounces on me, I'm not saying I WANT it to not sell a lot, but I just have a hunch it won't.
It's TTK right now is even faster than COD (can't believe I just wrote that), and the differences to past BF games are big (in terms of mechanics like reviving takes a long time, etc.). Mind, if a lot of people are entering the franchise with this one, it's fine, but if you've been playing since BF2, BC2, etc,m it's a big departure -- at least for me, anyway.
Curious to hear EA's next press release about it (no press release touting its sales, etc, is not a good sign).

You can resupply all Explosive ammo at the Ammo Stations that can be built, usually on/around objectives and team spawns.
Seems to be the case with all the good players I know as well to varying degrees. Camping is easier than ever so there are way more seemingly random deaths and unless you're playing with a full squad all the time you'll be attrition'd hard at times too.
Right now losing teams capture objectives much faster than winning teams. DICE is fixing that though in the Dec. 4th update.
I do it all the time to get cheeky kills, but it really shouldn't be allowed to place AP mines right next to Ammo/Health stations.
I have no idea. I very rarely use the larger map. I always wondered why the range was so poor. Now it kinda makes sense.
That actually happens when a Grand Operation ends in a draw. 32 vs 32 TDM with no respawns allowed. It's just rare as heck (only got to play it once) and would be nice as a standalone mode.
How does a Grand Operation even end in a draw? Is it when time runs out on the last round with both teams not blowing up anything?
Yeah reading up on the history of that weapon, it's pretty much a modified mortar system.
I think it has to be intentional because it even shows an icon on the minimap so you can tell where the thing will drop.
What's everyone's favorite map so far? Battlefield 1 with premium had some excellent maps and I can't say any of the base maps in BFV have reached their level so far. Hamada, Aerodrome, Twisted Steel and Arras are cool and I like Devastation too but IMO they're not as fun as Ballroom Blitz, St. Quentin, Heliglioland Bight, Amiens or Cape Helles, among others. I hope the game gets supported for a long time because the actual gunplay is fantastic.
I'm a little confused about how Specializations for weapons work. I have my Sten for my Medic class at level 10 but I can't change the options in the skill tree. What is that? I see there's an option to "reset" does that reset the skill tree or my weapons level? Any help would be appreciated. It seemed like newer weapons I had to purchase eachSspecialization but this default weapon seems pre-defined?
Skill tree. Starter weapons come with a default spec from the start. Then at level 4 you can reset it.
If both teams destroy the same amount of objectives on the third day. On the maps that have Conquest as the third day, I have no idea how it's triggered.
In my 50h, I've only had a Final Stand once.
I never claimed CoD is hardcore. I just agreed that BF is kind of casual, but again, I'm not saying it's casual in a negative tone.
I guess CoD is only more hardcore in the sense that people spend a lot of time competing in it for money. Last I recall, there's no BF tournaments with prize money.
Completely agree, especially when BFV's key art is a lady with flowing locks
So bizarre that you can't actually recreate that in game, as i really wanted to. Awesome imagery
I think I'm just about at my wits end with this game. Between the constant myriad of bugs, the dying the second I spawn, and the kill stealing, I think I'm about to tap.
On the subject of kill stealing, I don't think I can play FPS games anymore if they don't give credit for the kill if you tag a target (like BLOPS4 and Overwatch). It just makes the game so much more fun not constantly hitting targets for 94+ damage and not getting the kill.

They should have just brought back the light mortar. The Germans used a light mortar in WW2.
I think all the character models are bald, which is weird.
Driving around in a car with a squadmate and then the screen fades to black and we suddenly appear just on foot again. Look around and car is completely gone. Just disappeared.
I should not have to go all the way back to the main menu to get new assignments or apply customization that I unlocked in the previous round.
OP
OP
I think DICE mention they wanted a system where you couldnt just spam the mortar for kills.
I stand by it, it could use some changes mainly to the turret rotation in third person but for once the guns are effective against infantry. I can still rack up the kills in a tank.
There was a similar bug in BF1 that would make vehicles you were in just disappear at random.
I guess that's fair. I didn't play BF1 that much, but I never felt like the mortar was really that OP in getting indirect kills.
Bugs and glitches I can understand your frustration but kill stealing? It's a team game, as long as your team wins what does it matter who gets the kill?
And besides, there already is a system in place that if you do a high amount of damage to an enemy and then someone finishes the job you get the credit and points. "Assist counts as kill" I think it says.
The game is a SHOOTER - So yes, I care about getting the kills.
Usually when I do that much damage, and someone else kills the target, the game will say it counts as my kill.
What? Why should I just resign to not getting kills because of a class?
Join game with a squad of friends. First game goes fine. We win.
While loading next game, 2/3 of us lock up at the loading screen and then have to ALT+F4 out.
Attempt to rejoin the member who actually made it into the next game. Get stuck in a load cycle where it shows the next map, loads for a second, and then boots me back to menu.
Do devs at least feel a little guilty about releasing the game in this state or are they just giggling about all the people who paid them for this late-stage beta

It's a team and objective based shooter
If the phrase "kill steal" is even in your vocabulary I sincerely hope we are never on the same team lol
The main thing I that is pissing me off is the regular being killed the second I spawn.
An objective based shooter where you're supposed to kill the enemy team. Every time I read comments where people push against the ideas of getting kills I just think y'all can't get a lot of kills.
