    So is the Single Player as terrible as all the reviews make it seem?

    Because when I pick up BF4, I want to know if I shouldn't bother with it at all.

    Figures that the moment I use a 50% boost I get the most awful stacked teams/most crashes/worst teammates ever.

    The lack of a server queue and the common crashes are making it really difficult to enjoy the game.

    they disabled it due to the rush at launch, it's not gone.

    Man I was so excited for this game, I can't believe I've actually decided to not play until they fix some shit, I guess I'm no longer willing to put up with this stuff.

    Tonight is pretty bad but I've mostly had a great time with the game. Once stability is regained it's gonna be a blast.

    The sound issue is really annoying, because it happens every 10 seconds or so. I've also dropped from a firm 60 fps down to 25 in random spots of a couple maps.

    I had some fun playing as commander on the Angry Dome tonight. Only did three late night rounds but they went well and it was in the last forty seconds of an xp boost so it was worth it. I didn't get to do it on a map with tomahawks but whatevs. It can definitely decide a map for a team especially if the other team does not have a commander or does not have one until later in the game. A solid squad with UAV and EMP support can cap a point handily racking up a lot of points and then I promote them and drop them supplies. Others spawn there, defend the point, use the drop, etc. If I assign a squad to a point I'll drop them a quad.

    All in all I had a lot of fun with it. Can't wait to try more.

    MBT HE rounds BAD
    HMG GOOD

    I'm not sure on the canister shell, though. It still has the stupid "reload both shells regardless of which is fired," and they both have limited ammo while the HMG is crazy strong and has no limit.

    WELL! I had fun tonight, but have to cut it short due to I fucking worked too much all day and am tired.

    My highlight tonight:

    Running recon as passenger to Cabbage's scout heli. I was just spotting and lasing targets mostly, but then there was this squad of baddies on a roof. Cabbage did a couple strafing runs before I got the idea to drop some C4 on their heads from my perch. It. Was. Glorious. Ka-Boom! promoted

    I ran into this issue, so I've just been connecting to Origin with the Korean VPN and then disconnecting after I launch the game. I make sure to keep Origin open and logged in as well. Problem solved til tomorrow!

    Obliteration Golmud. We're down two points and the bomb carrier is racing in a jeep to our last point. I'm too far away so I get ready to lob an RPG at him. I was seriously 200m+ from where I thought he was going to end up and he was going mach 10, so I didn't even think I'd hit him but fired anyway. The missile killed him and only him; the jeep kept going another few hundred meters before it stopped, perfectly intact.

    We went on to lose pretty badly, though. Too bad there's no match recorder. #BFONLYIN

    I feel really bad for snipers on top of buildings/towers, because every time I get a killcam seeing them, its so rediculusly easy to air burst the hell out of them from across the map.

    wait...

    wait....

    wait...

    It still irks me that when I play BF4 I see sooooooo many recons. What irks me even more is when the Recon that's shooting at me or gets that lucky shot and kills me is using the ridiculous sighted scopes for 1600m+ ranges in maps like Flood Zone. Although the XM25 makes short work of them most of the time, its still annoying to have so many games ruined by their unwillingness to participate and PTO.

    I also dread the day they start unlocking that 100 damage sniper rifle. Games are going to get stupid real quick. I'm okay with a high powered rifle, but a 100 damage rifle is absurd. Maybe cap it out where it won't one shot a fully healed soldier, but its close, but ffs don't reward the hill wookies with a lightsaber.

  • Two Headed BoyTwo Headed Boy Registered User regular
    Many of the bolt-action sniper rifles, including the default one, are 100 damage. This does not mean they do 100% damage regardless of where they hit.

    360 questions.

    Has anybody had or heard about disk read error problems? Also, why is it reading from the disk. I installed both disks to the HD, and did the install when starting the game. I've been booted from games twice now near the end.

    The only sniper rifle that's a one-hit kill is the .50 cal pickup. Which makes me want a better computer and this game even more cause I will learn where they spawn and claymore the shit out of those spots.

    And when I says "Claymore the shit out of those spots." I mean, drop the allowed amount of claymores around said area. C4 is also an option.

    Every time I get sniped by a wookie hundreds of yards away hiding on a building or some dumb corner where they can't do anything else, I try to take some small consolation from the fact that they and theirs are hurting their team more than they are hurting me

    It hurts bad though

    Outside of the pickup they only do 100% damage up close. I think even Bad company 2 had this.

    How does one land a helicopter without doing damage? Finally got the hang of flying the thing pretty well. Now that i have verteran buttons turned on. Still can't figure out how to be useful in a jet. I just fly past everything on the map, back and forth, till I get shot down.

  • MovitzMovitz Registered User regular
    As a Jet that you are mostly the scissors to the chopper's paper. You can also bring down some tanks whenever you get homing missiles, which I assume are in there somewhere.

    I finally played my first matches earlier this morning. Rush on Parcel Storm is amazing, though the ticket count was low. I'm not sure I'm a fan of the night, neon city map, though. I'm also moving away from my old aliases to my new ones. Vacorsis has now become ckysse, which perhaps is just as stupid but is more in line with my actual human name. Now to go through the hassle of renaming other accounts and creating new e-mail addresses.

    It means exactly what it says. Your premium account status will automatically be updated if you go from Xbox 360 to Xbox One or PS3 to PS4. Nothing happens if you go from Xbox 360 to PS4 or PC.
