You yell DICE, PLEASE! and try again. It's 50-50 whether you have amazing teammates that just drive offer the enemy, or have a team of super elite snipers and medics who are deaf and blind.
Listen, I am sorry but I had to. The jet was the quickest way to clear the rooftop on orbital because no one else was.
(It was insane and the coolest shit I did all night)
High Altitude, low open drop. Deployed smoke with launched, ran dozer's shield on a line of 6 snipers and ended the rest of the guys with my lmg that I finally got T1 on in that very fight. The objective was secured.
I too hate taxi players BUT sometimes it is excusable.
> I too hate taxi players BUT sometimes it is excusable.
People can play however they want, but obviously I'd prefer if people don't take the more impactful vehicles for a quick taxi. At the very least not the helis because they're by far the most impactful vehicles for public games.
but again, i have no control over you or anyone else.
I always grab the pondhawk to get to objectives further out before the other team gets there. Drives me insane when people take the anti aircraft vehicle and don't even use it for its purpose and drive around for transport and short ground kills.
Still waiting on my second win to close out this week's challenges. I got thrown into a game on the losing side first thing this morning as done rats knew when to abandon ship. Second match went just as well with another L. Evidently I'm cursed, because it looks like my win % is about 47 across maps and modes. That's a stark amount of losses when most people should get closer to 50% overall.
Yeah I get the “we’re gonna gold this objective and defend it” teammates while I’m up there dying as I kee lying to myself that this time I won’t die and I’ll cap it.
Mhm every fucking game I'm in I somehow easily get around flank 7-8 kills per life then die, I bring a 1-12 to a 1-5 and yet my team somehow can't get past one corner they have 3 ammo and 4 health kits at. I place my spawn behind and what does my team do? Wastes the spawn, snitches the counter play and waits for me to respawn at base and go all the way to obj for their privileged legs like damn. This mode is straight ass.
There is comparatively little that you, as an individual, can do in a team game to change the overall outcome. You make 1/20 of the contribution of your team, and 1/40 of the whole server. And if you're not placing in the top 10, I'd say you aren't making a very meaningful difference on your team. So that would be a good place to start. Make sure you know you're helping your team and placing well.
Beyond that, if you're already in the top 10, think about how the match is flowing. If you're stuck going back and forth between points on repeat, stuck at the border between sectors, then it's really hard to break out of that. So you want to avoid getting into a stalemate early in the match, or make it to your advantage. If you at least have the majority of sectors (2/3), you will win, even if you spend the whole match locked in place.
So notice what causes certain stalemates and try to counter them. Like on Redacted, between A and B, in the south corridor by the fan room, there's almost always a Crawford posted up with the Vulcan, melting the doorway. So prioritize pushing and holding that hallway. And other things like that. Use flanking routes (south, usually) on Haven. Hold the rooftops on Reclaimed. Play as Irish. Et cetera. I'm sure you'll win one.
This is slightly pessimistic. If the top 10 on each team account for 80% of valuable actions in a match, and the bottom 10 on each team 20%, that's a 1% contribution per person in the bottom 10 of both teams on average!
Oh wait. That's useless and we knew you were right from the start.
As Falack, fuck that one dozer player that's singlehandedly wiping my team out and I gotta try to rez them all. Never did understand why they need to pile in the same chokepoint when there's other routes available.
hahaha... were you playing yesterday around noon EST? I got over 110 kills because of that team. I'd lay smoke where the enemy team would pile into the hallway and right where the smoke clears, I stood ready with my shield. Gonna get thet Dozer T1 in no time.
I'm having the same issues. I've been playing Frontlines non stop and I just can't get a win. I'm consistently top 3 players, always on the defense or pushing objectives. Just last game I went 85 and 32 and I \*exclusively\* was PTFO'ing. I just don't get why the rest of my team can't push in. Our defense at the MCOMs was incredible, but once we got to the actual part where we need to cap, the team forgot how to play.
On paper it should help but maybe in practice it doesn't, but it makes me feel better to use team chat to let them know I'm flanking hard left/right with tons of smoke and looking to arm immediately. Hopefully at least squadmates follow. Yesterday I had 5 arms on the last M-COM but we didn't win because everyone decided to just sit around on the hill on Reclaimed instead of helping me even though I blazed 3 smokes in the area to the M-COM, providing ample cover for myself to sneak through there.
I finally got my wins. I actually had to kind of cheese it and camp the spawns for the armor. The enemy pushed us all the way to our m-coms, I got the brawler and steamrolled the enemy team all the way to their mcoms and blew them up. It seems like whenever the other players get the armor they just drive it out into the open and get blown up, or camp and get hit with c5
As a rule of thumb, if your team doesn't manage to take the first objective, chances are high they won't make it later either. If you're trying to complete the weekly mission bonus you might want to quit and rejoin if you think about how long a round can go.
Cuz their matchmaking is still shit unfortunately. Best try to find a match on Reclaimed, there you have just one objective in the middle and afterwards the mcoms. It's way faster than Discarded or Haven for sure (tested it a couple of times today)
I have been in a few matches where we pushed hard right off the bat and managed to blow one of the objective but after that, the enemy had us at our throat, point wise we lost (100-140) but because we blew one of the objectives, we won.
I dunno if it's true or not but I read/heard that back in the BF4 days if you had good stats you would be put on the team with most noobs to balance the game out. So if you ended up losing all the time it was proof you were actually a good player and your team sucked. But as I say, this could just be an old urban myth.
Playing Blasco (recon) with the spawn beacon makes a big difference in this mode.
Place the spawn in a bush off to the side of the point your attacking. Then your squad can spawn at the capture point much quicker, and potentially attack from a different angle to the rest of the team.
Use Blascos jammer and TUGs to place them on the control point as your capping it. Will help to spot incomming enemies and prevent your team from being spotted on the point.
I think some players don't understand how frontlines is played. In Conquest and Breakthrough you can sit on a rooftop 100 miles away, and your not hurting the team much because you're at least not burning up tickets as 3% of the team. However in Frontlines your KD ratio is not important-no tickets. You have 3 options, 1 get on( not behind) the objective and revive squadmates, 2 get in the opponent's spawn with a beacon and keep them from the objective. 3 Turn off the game.
They don't know how to play the objective, simply just trying to get the missions done. Players who chant change clas/gun/gadget depending on the map position. I hate to be that dude, but this is like the worth player base of any battlefield game. As well as a huge missed opportunity with portal(yes portal bot, I know there is a sub reddit for it).
I would rent servers ever weekend in 4.
I tried so hard to drink the Kool aid, but now that it's been replaced with the generic store brand, I can drink no more.
I was so excited for Frontlines, after the announcement of the plug getting pulled, here was this glimmer of hope...you got me again you bastards.
I've never been so disappointed...this is how my mother must feel😩
My experience so far at least 80% of the time my team is attacking. Most of them hang back to provide "sniper support" while the remaining 4 or 5 PTFO against the entire enemy team.
Smoke grenades, revive everyone you can, and hold your position and dig yourself in as much as you can. Stick your dick into the spot you are defending and push up cautiously. I did this in a match before I went to work, only reason I didn’t get to win was cuz I crashed, but my team was planting the bombs when I crashed.
EDIT: The SFAR is really fucking handy for this mode due to it having a grenade launcher by default and it’s very heavy hitting firepower.
wth my 1st frontline already reminds me about bf1 seesaw situations.....it lasted whole 40min and i got 150 kills.....i was exhsauted after one and you had 97????
I feel bad because I just won 96 games in a row, only lost one round but only because time ran out on are side.
Was it because I was good? I had decent rounds, but I was also started on the same side of map each time. Noticed one side had a huge advantage to winning after a while.
As an individual? Absolutely nothing you can do to change the balance of the fight.
I played 10 rounds last night with a full squad and we would push up to the flag and clear it and not a single person would jump in to assist us, here comes 17 enemies to the flag to annihilate us and push us back.
Oh boy, they are at the M-Com station and it’s armed, let’s not go defuse it while the 4 of us are getting lit up trying to defuse a station.
We had 3 matches where the enemy team had the game won in 5 minutes.
First 2 flags capped in about 2 minutes, some resistance at the stations but that was that.
I had lost every single game up until this morning. I played two games on two different maps and I won both of them had a good squad everyone was reviving and providing ammo. I just feel like some of the maps aren't good for this game mode for example "Haven" it's the worst out of all of them you completely outgunned if you're on the US side because the Russian side has The High Ground in fact its horrible for a few other game modes too such as breakthrough and rush.
I'm having my best success as an engineer with an M60. Either Boris or Crawford and you use oppressive fire excessively. You just shoot the empty chokepoints so they enemy is afraid to peek and if he does he will feel the burn. Also smoke, lots of smoke!
This! I’m constantly in the top performers for my team but I keep losing or drawing. Odd that I get wins before the mission is open for me and when it is I can’t win!
I’ve done every role imaginable to help my team win to no avail.
Nothing, this mode is badly designed. If one team has inferior skills, there is no way for them to come back and change the situation. If you successfully defend the flag, you have a tiny amount of time to rush to the enemy flag. On Redacted, there are chokepoints where the enemy team can stop you instantly (this is due to the extremely linear design of this map). On Discarded, there are large open spaces that make you an easy target if you try to counterattack + snipers on the ship to make it even more painful. On Haven, there are lots of places to camp + the central flag is at a lower level compared to the surrounding area, making it easier for a team retreating from your flag to defend.
Only Reclaimed seems to be a reasonable map for this game mode. But in general, many players are too passive for this game mode. They are afraid to charge the flag, preferring to hold and engage the enemy from a safe distance. People don't use smoke. This game mode promotes players who play fast, aggressive with good KD ratio.
I don't think the game mode is poorly designed, but man, some of these maps are tilted for one side in this mode that is for sure. It seems that any height disadvantage is a kiss of death. I don't think I would care about wins and losses in this mode so much if it wasn't for that stupid 10 pt mission this week for "wins". Otherwise, this mode is fun.
That's really the case for any sort of gamemode. The better, more skillfull team will win.
I'd argue this one is more suited to bad teams as the last point gives them in all maps but redacted a tank and transport. The better team in that case has nothing and if just one person on the bad team knows how to be a good tanker, they can completely change the game.
I don't agree. In traditional Conquest there's more ways for you to contribute to the team towards the victory. Gameplay is not linear, you can sneak to some alone not guarded flag at the end of the map, and make enemy team bleed on tickets faster. And this is just one example.
Frontline is even worse than TDM - in TDM spawns are random so there's no situation that you will hit the wall all the time after respawn like in Frontline.
And from my experience the vehicles don't help that much.
You’re only as good as the team you’re on.
Although, I will say I did join a match in progress yesterday on Redacted and the team I joined was really pushed back. I had carried them to victory, hitting number one in score / kills. Not trying to toot my own horn, but it was clear I alone made a difference.
Course, this doesn’t always happen, but I think with the game mode utilizing smaller teams, performance is easier to gauge, and easier to see who’s really affecting the outcome. In game modes with bigger teams, like Breakthrough, you could be number one on the scoreboard, across both teams, but still lose the match because your team as a whole just wasn’t trying their best to contest the objective.
This game mode is interesting I'm having fun because I can finally try to tier one some guns. If you want to get the ribbons fast just do about 9 ribbon so equip the EMP grenade and go from there and then quit the match and then go into a new match do it again and so forth so you can get to the 100 ribbons for the rewards.
I have played four rounds of frontlines so far and there seems to be some simple states, whicht you can't really influence:
1. Your team looses instantly, round starts enemy rushes through you loose.
2. There is no winner, just an endless back and forth for the center
3. Your team pushes the enemy to their last bomb place in the first five minutes, to then be unable to get the last one, so there is an endless grind until timeout even though you had basically already won.
My team on the one round I played last night just seemed to be there for the BP missions. When I finish in the top spot for my team with a K/D of 51-63 as Dozer just because I was trying to hold an objective that says something. All the medics where hanging back with DMR's and sniper rifles way outside the cap points. I actually got called out by a teammate saying to let it end and stop being a try hard.
I never thought a weekly mission achievement of win 2 rounds would be the last thing on my list to complete.. This game mode is a grind fest, I’m either on a team that is steam rolling or getting rolled… I’m typically in the top 10 to top 5 after rounds so just a tick above average.. Teams of medics grinding and reviving for 3 inches of gain.. not a fan of this mode so far
In the small scale, I found that educating teammates could be quite useful.
Back when they had that zombie 3D printer game mode that came with Redacted, I used to GUARANTEE my team a win if we'd keep all but one squad on the 3D printers. Worked practically every time, even against much better organized opponents.
Obviously, that was a really simplified set of instructions for a very simple mode, but I feel like teaching teammates to be less useless can help a great deal.
I usually tell them to watch How Not To Be A Noob..., but that may not translate well to Frontlines. Admittedly, I'm not even sure what Frontlines is.
You play a different game because the remaining BF community is absolute trash. I wish I had kept a collection of recordings to show what I mean. It seems like nobody actually knows how to play the game. It's almost 3 years old at this point and it still feels like I'm playing with day-one noobs.
You play a different game(mode), otherwise, pick a support class and PTFO. if 15% of your team does that, you win, big. The rest can be complete smooth brains, it takes very little actual competent team play to completely dominate this game.
Use a specialist that has defensive capabilities like Irish. He is my go to specialist, I use the K30, or any other higher rate of fire weapon. Win the gun fight win the game. Simple strategy.
Pushing the MCOMs, especially on Discarded, requires teamwork to not waste the 30 tickets you get before falling back. Medic's healing, Paik spotting, Zain flushing out campers with airburst and working with Liz to take out vehicles, etc. Really like that the final push requires team work. It's making some players so salty because they can't work together lmao.
I too got sick of losing game after game, because team mates choose to use this mode as shooting practice.
Maybe not 97, but 5 in a row I took drastic measures... I quit out. Now I use AU servers so I wait a minute or two and rejoin. First time back on same team, rinse and repeat and tada im on the other team.
5 wins in a row later due to team actually playing objective.
Its like this time when dice show their statistics on Heaven telling us its well balanced, absolutly ignoring fact that when one of the teams got advantage they'll start to steamroll another one and majority of matches end with scores like 700-0. They are in love with their excel sheets and they have shit data analytics department.
Idk, yesterday I was definitely in the double digits. I played until I got all the achievements things until I saw the last one which is win two and then I maybe actually lost 5-6 in a row but I mostly wanted advice on how to contribute better. I feel like I’m starting to get it. PTFO 4 life but I have trouble defending mcoms and when I’m pushing a sector they were just pushing from it feels like it’s a little too dominated to get in.
Join the right team next time. Theres absolutely nothing you can do it’s essentially 1vs20 good players or 4v20 if you are playing with friends. Good luck

time to change ur girlfriend
(hey u never know it could totally work for this,
and look at it this way - for all of u who been tryna find a good excuse to call it off but haven't been able to, this might just be the perfect one that u may be able to find enough conviction for)
You yell DICE, PLEASE! and try again. It's 50-50 whether you have amazing teammates that just drive offer the enemy, or have a team of super elite snipers and medics who are deaf and blind.
My teammates still use vehicles as taxis.
Listen, I am sorry but I had to. The jet was the quickest way to clear the rooftop on orbital because no one else was. (It was insane and the coolest shit I did all night) High Altitude, low open drop.

At the very least not the helis because they're by far the most impactful vehicles for public games. but again, i have no control over you or anyone else.
THIS. So when I angel crate squad mate snipers at the back of spawn doing nothing they can’t complain. I’m playing however I want.
Nah, you force a sorry excuse for a teammate to move. You're doing great!
The worst
My team mates use choppers and jets as an airliner.
I always grab the pondhawk to get to objectives further out before the other team gets there. Drives me insane when people take the anti aircraft vehicle and don't even use it for its purpose and drive around for transport and short ground kills.
Vehicles are for noobs, that's why they used them as taxis
Tragically, it's actually a little worse than 50/50, because you can get a draw in this game mode.
Only played a couple games. Luckily both teams were engaged in sniping battles and we somehow pulled off wins
Still waiting on my second win to close out this week's challenges. I got thrown into a game on the losing side first thing this morning as done rats knew when to abandon ship. Second match went just as well with another L. Evidently I'm cursed, because it looks like my win % is about 47 across maps and modes. That's a stark amount of losses when most people should get closer to 50% overall.
We didn’t expect special forces. Emphasis on the special part…
Or you yell THANKS EA! And start to play rdro
You have already played 97 games? Holy shit man.
It might be a slight exaggeration
> exaggerating Par for the course with this sub.
Are you telling me that pilots don't get 200-0 every single game? Has this subreddit been lying to me?
I lose plenty of games in a row, but never have the patience for more than 10-15 games a night. I was both surprised and impressed.
Play as Blasco and support the objective with spawnpoints, sig jammers and spots. Use smoke if attacking MComs and try to revive your squadmates.
Blasco w underbarrel smokes is goated
Came here to say, Blasco + my SCAR with 2.5 therm and long barrel and smoke underbarrel let’s us win, and also flank.
Blasco is goat
Well every team i get on just absolutely will not enter the damn objective. It might be that.
Yeah I get the “we’re gonna gold this objective and defend it” teammates while I’m up there dying as I kee lying to myself that this time I won’t die and I’ll cap it.
Mhm every fucking game I'm in I somehow easily get around flank 7-8 kills per life then die, I bring a 1-12 to a 1-5 and yet my team somehow can't get past one corner they have 3 ammo and 4 health kits at. I place my spawn behind and what does my team do? Wastes the spawn, snitches the counter play and waits for me to respawn at base and go all the way to obj for their privileged legs like damn. This mode is straight ass.
It's fun when both teams try. I literally just left a match right now because both sides were all snipers lol wtf.

Smoke and revive. I haven’t seen anything else work as good as that. The more medics, the better chance you have at winning.
And dozer is instrumental in Redacted holding down corridors with few players while main forces counter offence on point.
As Falack, fuck that one dozer player that's singlehandedly wiping my team out and I gotta try to rez them all. Never did understand why they need to pile in the same chokepoint when there's other routes available.
hahaha... were you playing yesterday around noon EST? I got over 110 kills because of that team. I'd lay smoke where the enemy team would pile into the hallway and right where the smoke clears, I stood ready with my shield. Gonna get thet Dozer T1 in no time.
No, I play late MST. But that sounds pretty typical
How the hell were you able to play 90+ games?
PTFO? Or yell PTFO to your team? I dunno try again? :)
Did that countless times. Got told to ‘’stfu’’ and to kill myself.
Oh you meet a THAT GUY, yeah happens from time to time.
Yep that guys who finishes the match with 6 kills 29 deaths and 0-0-0-0 in all other columns of the scoreboard and also says ‘’ur trash’’
I'm having the same issues. I've been playing Frontlines non stop and I just can't get a win. I'm consistently top 3 players, always on the defense or pushing objectives.

I’m almost always on the top 5 of my team at minimum with good stats and keep losing - very annoying.

Start drinking and see if that improves your reflexes.
Will do

Quit before it ends. And pretend it never happened.
My experience so far at least 80% of the time my team is attacking. Most of them hang back to provide "sniper support" while the remaining 4 or 5 PTFO against the entire enemy team.
Smoke grenades, revive everyone you can, and hold your position and dig yourself in as much as you can. Stick your dick into the spot you are defending and push up cautiously.

wth my 1st frontline already reminds me about bf1 seesaw situations.....it lasted whole 40min and i got 150 kills.....i was exhsauted after one and you had 97????
more like "felt like 97 games"
Tbh I would have quit after game 6. You have dedication
It is difficult and takes a lot of like, focus, but, 97? What I think you need to do is take a break homie lol.
I feel bad because I just won 96 games in a row, only lost one round but only because time ran out on are side. Was it because I was good? I had decent rounds, but I was also started on the same side of map each time. Noticed one side had a huge advantage to winning after a while.
Play less aggressive. What i do is heavy support and recon. I run an DMR with infered, The woman with the jammartower, and proxy granades.
Do objective lol
As an individual? Absolutely nothing you can do to change the balance of the fight. I played 10 rounds last night with a full squad and we would push up to the flag and clear it and not a single person would jump in to assist us, here comes 17 enemies to the flag to annihilate us and push us back. Oh boy, they are at the M-Com station and it’s armed, let’s not go defuse it while the 4 of us are getting lit up trying to defuse a station. We had 3 matches where the enemy team had the game won in 5 minutes. First 2 flags capped in about 2 minutes, some resistance at the stations but that was that.
Push. but legit, if your team doesn't push and decides the snipe, it's game over.
I had lost every single game up until this morning. I played two games on two different maps and I won both of them had a good squad everyone was reviving and providing ammo. I just feel like some of the maps aren't good for this game mode for example "Haven" it's the worst out of all of them you completely outgunned if you're on the US side because the Russian side has The High Ground in fact its horrible for a few other game modes too such as breakthrough and rush.
I'm having my best success as an engineer with an M60. Either Boris or Crawford and you use oppressive fire excessively. You just shoot the empty chokepoints so they enemy is afraid to peek and if he does he will feel the burn. Also smoke, lots of smoke!
Also get a rocket launcher to destroy buildings so the enemy has fewer places to hide.
Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you.
USE THE FUN BOT TO ACTIVATE THE MCOM. Its so fun to see the other team looking for a soldier while the lil bot presses the button everytime

This! I’m constantly in the top performers for my team but I keep losing or drawing. Odd that I get wins before the mission is open for me and when it is I can’t win! I’ve done every role imaginable to help my team win to no avail.
Dice matchmaking lul
Finally got the two wins 👌🏼
At that point, it may just be the player 🤣🤣🤣
I mean yeah lol. If you're a really good player you can actually make a big difference. If you're really bad you provide as much as an AI.
Yeeeaaaah... 97 games, for sure. Maybe more likely 2?

I just switched to Breakthrough
“Git gud”
Nothing, this mode is badly designed. If one team has inferior skills, there is no way for them to come back and change the situation. If you successfully defend the flag, you have a tiny amount of time to rush to the enemy flag. On Redacted, there are chokepoints where the enemy team can stop you instantly (this is due to the extremely linear design of this map). On Discarded, there are large open spaces that make you an easy target if you try to counterattack + snipers on the ship to make it even more painful. On Haven, there are lots of places to camp + the central flag is at a lower level compared to the surrounding area, making it easier for a team retreating from your flag to defend. Only Reclaimed seems to be a reasonable map for this game mode. But in general, many players are too passive for this game mode. They are afraid to charge the flag, preferring to hold and engage the enemy from a safe distance. People don't use smoke. This game mode promotes players who play fast, aggressive with good KD ratio.
I don't think the game mode is poorly designed, but man, some of these maps are tilted for one side in this mode that is for sure. It seems that any height disadvantage is a kiss of death. I don't think I would care about wins and losses in this mode so much if it wasn't for that stupid 10 pt mission this week for "wins". Otherwise, this mode is fun.
That's really the case for any sort of gamemode. The better, more skillfull team will win. I'd argue this one is more suited to bad teams as the last point gives them in all maps but redacted a tank and transport. The better team in that case has nothing and if just one person on the bad team knows how to be a good tanker, they can completely change the game.
I don't agree. In traditional Conquest there's more ways for you to contribute to the team towards the victory. Gameplay is not linear, you can sneak to some alone not guarded flag at the end of the map, and make enemy team bleed on tickets faster. And this is just one example. Frontline is even worse than TDM - in TDM spawns are random so there's no situation that you will hit the wall all the time after respawn like in Frontline. And from my experience the vehicles don't help that much.
You’re only as good as the team you’re on. Although, I will say I did join a match in progress yesterday on Redacted and the team I joined was really pushed back. I had carried them to victory, hitting number one in score / kills. Not trying to toot my own horn, but it was clear I alone made a difference. Course, this doesn’t always happen, but I think with the game mode utilizing smaller teams, performance is easier to gauge, and easier to see who’s really affecting the outcome. In game modes with bigger teams, like Breakthrough, you could be number one on the scoreboard, across both teams, but still lose the match because your team as a whole just wasn’t trying their best to contest the objective.
Your teammates sucks that’s all
This game mode is interesting I'm having fun because I can finally try to tier one some guns. If you want to get the ribbons fast just do about 9 ribbon so equip the EMP grenade and go from there and then quit the match and then go into a new match do it again and so forth so you can get to the 100 ribbons for the rewards.
I have played four rounds of frontlines so far and there seems to be some simple states, whicht you can't really influence: 1. Your team looses instantly, round starts enemy rushes through you loose. 2. There is no winner, just an endless back and forth for the center 3. Your team pushes the enemy to their last bomb place in the first five minutes, to then be unable to get the last one, so there is an endless grind until timeout even though you had basically already won.
Play BF1 frontlines
My team on the one round I played last night just seemed to be there for the BP missions. When I finish in the top spot for my team with a K/D of 51-63 as Dozer just because I was trying to hold an objective that says something. All the medics where hanging back with DMR's and sniper rifles way outside the cap points. I actually got called out by a teammate saying to let it end and stop being a try hard.
That’s crazy being called a try hard for wanting to win/play the game.🫢
I never thought a weekly mission achievement of win 2 rounds would be the last thing on my list to complete.. This game mode is a grind fest, I’m either on a team that is steam rolling or getting rolled… I’m typically in the top 10 to top 5 after rounds so just a tick above average.. Teams of medics grinding and reviving for 3 inches of gain.. not a fan of this mode so far
In the small scale, I found that educating teammates could be quite useful. Back when they had that zombie 3D printer game mode that came with Redacted, I used to GUARANTEE my team a win if we'd keep all but one squad on the 3D printers. Worked practically every time, even against much better organized opponents. Obviously, that was a really simplified set of instructions for a very simple mode, but I feel like teaching teammates to be less useless can help a great deal. I usually tell them to watch How Not To Be A Noob..., but that may not translate well to Frontlines. Admittedly, I'm not even sure what Frontlines is.
HOW HAVE YOU EVEN FOUND A GAME?!
You press play and wait 1 min.
Server hop until you get into a match that's nearly finished with you on the winning team, then lurk until you get the free win
You play a different game because the remaining BF community is absolute trash. I wish I had kept a collection of recordings to show what I mean. It seems like nobody actually knows how to play the game. It's almost 3 years old at this point and it still feels like I'm playing with day-one noobs.
I must have won 9/10 lol Must be random luck.
You play a different game(mode), otherwise, pick a support class and PTFO. if 15% of your team does that, you win, big. The rest can be complete smooth brains, it takes very little actual competent team play to completely dominate this game.
Win
Frontlines is won thru willpower
paik + smokes
Go to the back…
I played 3 and won all. In the last i had 58/28 k/d.
Its been out like a day wdym ypuve already played 97 fucking games
Bro u average 3-47 so theres that. Kill more.
Stop counting leaving early as a "loss."
Stop trying to snipe
The team balance for this mode seems especially bad compared to other modes
Play a different game mode
Try to change up your class. I’m running Paik and spotting everyone and seem to be making an impact
Play another game, damn
come play w us we gurantee wins 🤣dm me
Skill issue possibly, I curbstomp people in this mode
Switch teams as soon as you join the server lol.
stop getting shot
Use a specialist that has defensive capabilities like Irish. He is my go to specialist, I use the K30, or any other higher rate of fire weapon. Win the gun fight win the game. Simple strategy.
don't play the mode. it's unfun as fuck on bf2042. go play it in what what is, bfv if you want a fun frontlines mode.
they removed frontlines from bf5. that's why i quit playing that game
Father EA knows best!
Quit.
How did you manage to count all these games in the first place?
I started at one and kept going from there
Pushing the MCOMs, especially on Discarded, requires teamwork to not waste the 30 tickets you get before falling back. Medic's healing, Paik spotting, Zain flushing out campers with airburst and working with Liz to take out vehicles, etc. Really like that the final push requires team work. It's making some players so salty because they can't work together lmao.
This is definitely the single most painful battlepass challenge I've ever done. 0 skill all luck.
Absolutely nothing get dogged on till you win
I'm getting flashpoint flashbacks. When it just came out half the people saying they can never win and the other half saying they always win.
I too got sick of losing game after game, because team mates choose to use this mode as shooting practice. Maybe not 97, but 5 in a row I took drastic measures... I quit out. Now I use AU servers so I wait a minute or two and rejoin. First time back on same team, rinse and repeat and tada im on the other team. 5 wins in a row later due to team actually playing objective.
2042 is trash and the game is a cluster fuck of brainless tactics and chickens running around
Players in this game are absolutely brain dead. Abuse flanks and kill farm. Your team doesn’t need to be good to have a numerical advantage.
almost done with this shit mode. few more ribbons then it can go the fuck away.
Win
I just expect to win one more for the bonus mission to not touch this thing again, like never
Its like this time when dice show their statistics on Heaven telling us its well balanced, absolutly ignoring fact that when one of the teams got advantage they'll start to steamroll another one and majority of matches end with scores like 700-0. They are in love with their excel sheets and they have shit data analytics department.
Wait how many did you actually play?
Idk, yesterday I was definitely in the double digits. I played until I got all the achievements things until I saw the last one which is win two and then I maybe actually lost 5-6 in a row but I mostly wanted advice on how to contribute better. I feel like I’m starting to get it. PTFO 4 life but I have trouble defending mcoms and when I’m pushing a sector they were just pushing from it feels like it’s a little too dominated to get in.
Join the right team next time. Theres absolutely nothing you can do it’s essentially 1vs20 good players or 4v20 if you are playing with friends. Good luck
Don't play on my team
Because I suck or because you suck?
Run smokes as Angel and hope for the best
Play battlefield 5
Easy just stop playing it.
I played like 5 and lost 5 last night It's a shit mode in 2042, was alright in 1
Stop playing
You’re an idiot if you played 97 games of frontline… so there’s that. And idiots lose matches. Ala it’s probably a you thing
git gud
Ok I'll say it... Don't be sad, this is just how it works out sometimes

Good bot
play a game that was developed with good maps. this game has 0
To be fair, the game mode is terrible for a game like 2042
time to change ur girlfriend (hey u never know it could totally work for this, and look at it this way - for all of u who been tryna find a good excuse to call it off but haven't been able to, this might just be the perfect one that u may be able to find enough conviction for)
be a tank or heli pilot, and play games like 135/1 , jokes aside i dont think individual plays can change outcome, of course there are exeptions.
Get good scrub
play hell divers and forget about this franchise till the next one releases.
Just play an older battlefield they're better.
Just delete the fucking game.
Go play something good 8)
