I'm still playing. I just hit level 81.
It is a great time to play right now, as all the Christmas noobs are online. I had a 9-0 streak this morning, and a 12-0 tonight.
Anyway, I still enjoy the game. I think there are still balancing issues, too much made spam, too much gas, and some weapons are overpowered.
Fuckin hell I'm at level 18 or something
Never thought about the Xmas noobs - I did notice I was lasting a lot longer without dying and getting much better kd ratios over the past few days
Does levelling up really help that much? From what I can tell I've got access to the guns I want already
There is no benefit to leveling. It just happens as you play. You can be a rubbish player and still hit level 100 just through persistence.
The only potential benefit is that after around level 60 you know all the camping spots, where the map choke points are, and the best ways to flank, etc. if you play a lot you just know where enemy players will be.
Get online and enjoy the noob harvest. It only lasts for a month or so.
So I got a headset.
Am I missing something - there's not a single person talking on it - is it only your squad you speak to and mine haven't had headsets or what?
Even in between rounds i've not heard any chatter.
People are pretty shy. I find maybe one squad in ten will be chatting when I join it. I've gotten to about 80% talking when I start the chat. I usually start with game specific call outs, like "heavy tank on Charlie" or "Spawn at Apples, they are taking and will back rage us". That gets other people comfortable with short call outs. After a match or two people talk more about campers, strategy, etc. Give it a try and see how it goes.
My son and I trash talk each other on the headsets, i think it scares the rest of the people off lolSo I got a headset.

To be fair I don't miss all the "your a mother fucking faggot fucker faggot fucking dick!!!!" nonsense pre-pubescent boys used to scream down the line when I used to play CoD - it would be cool to have some chat though, maybe I was just unlucky last night.
Missus is working on Sunday and I play to have a very long hungover session
Online play can't be patched soon enough. Too much gas and made spam, every match has some level 99 asshat head glitching a tank or artillery truck behind a hill, planes are OP as hell, horsemen are crazy OP, and all the support weapons are garbage. Today I shot a guy 5 times in the back with a BAR and he turned around and one shotted me with his 10A hunter shotgun. Still fun as hell with a good squad, but they really need to patch some stuff.
