I got that too. The screen just freezes for a second like its about to load but then nothing happens?

I just kept trying and got into a server, but came off after 10 minutes. I missed Special Forces you see
Except i didn't back up my folder so now im about to re install

I like this addition.  I think it'll affect corner proning G36 medics more.  Loving it.
But unlike an 'E' support guns more or less need to be fired from a prone position.
Being prone isn't nerfed, instaproning in CQB, in alleys etc.,  is. Used correctly, support is just as effective as ever.
And how does one use support correctly?

Primarily supporting teammates by giving supplies and providing suppresive fire. Fire from prone from range; up close crouch and fire in controlled bursts. When you expect to be fighting up close in narrow spaces continueously, pick another class.

Wrong. Hide behind a building with 3 other support guys and throw nades in the general direction of the enemy. If any enemy comes within view, jump backwards whilst throwing nades at him...Die...Rinse and repeat.

I want to know how this is going to affect sniping? It can't put the deviation off at all if you're scoped can it?

Not visibly, but it will probably be as if your scope has lost zero. E.g. you aim at someone's head, but the bullet just flies past.

Well that's going to be annoying. Looks like more bunnying is to be done in the future.

So basically wait around to get a sniper bullet through the brain or when up close hope the other person can't aim. The key is to not stop moving. Run prone shot run prone shoot run prone shoot...
Narrow spaces are made for LMGs, why the fuck would you choose something else, especially where I'll be burdened with reloading every 15 seconds.

I'm really going to miss my trusty LMG. I don't get why DICE hate the poor old support dudes. It's not like they were hurting anyone.

The bastards won't be happy until everybody is playing medic or spamming claymores in the form of a massive decorative claymore mosaic.

Hmm prone deviation.

Wow that's a massive change to make this late in the game. Looks like it'll be a case of stop-crouch-shoot instead of prone now.

It's gonna suck for Support, but I can see it being a positive change.

Narrow spaces are for shotties or otherwise carbines. If you are referring to narrows at range; you can still pull a thermopylae. If you want to hold a certain position at close range, you can still do that too, just be there first.

Don't think of this as disadvantaging the support class (who shouldn't be leading a charge anyways), but rather, the instaproning Medic.

So I get this right: They're gonna make you less accurate when prone?

I don't think so. When you first go prone, you'll have huge deviation to deter instaproning in front of enemies. Now if you prone around a corner and slowly crawl out of cover to face enemies, the only deviation you suffer is from slight movement on the ground.

Just played my first round with 1.5 Beta2 and OOMMMMFFFFFFGGGGGGG!!  Hit reg =

It took a little getting use to but aiming AT the player and not slightly behind him actually works now!

lol ok, so now in order to hit an enemy they want us to just stand up, or crouch? Maybe people will begin spam crouching? So what kind of timer is this gonna be on? If you go prone, its like .2 seconds before you get ur accuracy back?

I went into a server where I had a 120 ping and I had decent hitreg.

I liked it.

You will suck at first.    At least 6 of the deaths on my screenie are from a shootout where I fired multiple shots trailing the other players moves (1.41 kill worthy shots).  I didn't realize how trained I was on the invisible hit box of 1.41 until i played tonight.

Oh yeah and my ping was 120-150 and hit reg was better than ever.

Make sure you save a copy of 1.41 so you can play that when 1.5 is empty.


Oh and now i'm getting the bug that reverts me back to server menu after i finish loading a map

Well, try joining via IP, also try joining on a different account? Maybe try joining a server with only a few people in it? Try connecting from your favorite servers list? Use ipconfig to refresh/renew your ip address? I dunno lol

By the way, how was OBP with those two flags neutral?? Is it pretty balanced that way?

I don't understand why there is no body playing the fucking beta, It's what everybody wanted. We got it now play it.

And another thing is all of the foreign servers, There aren't but like 2 servers in the US.
