But there absolutely needs to be a way to skip the PDWs. I was disappointed there was no SP carbine unlock. Thankfully unlocking carbines means doing anything with the engineer class. So repairs and anti vehicle work a-hoy!
I agree. I am not a fan of the PDWs. The flip side to this is that as carbines will be usable by all classes I anticipate enjoying the sniper/recon class for the first time ever when I suit up as a BF2 Spec Ops.
I wish the single player unlock was the PDW-R instead of the P90 since it is pretty much a carbine anyways.
Black lives matter.

The constant crashing is getting to me. It is basically expected that every other map on any given server will result in a crash. My game crashing is less certain but still a thing that is slowly ruining my fun.
try running in windowed/borderless mode. some people have said that it helps with their crashes. I have had the problem where certain maps are almost guaranteed to crash (either server or local). Shanghai is probably the worst of that bunch. I don't think I've completed a Shanghai map since launch.
And for Nvidia people, they released a new driver for BF4 like last Friday so you should get that. As usual, take the GeForce Experience auto-settings for BF4 with a grain of salt (I turned down the post-processing, for one) though.
I remember someone complaining about their XFire performance on TS last night - whoever that was should get those beta drivers ASAP.
Anyway, the only thing I'm not really liking about the game so far is the sniping. I don't know if the bullet velocity has gone up or what but I'm having a hard time leading my shots. It just feels kind of off. I guess I just need to spend some more time with it.
I've found the zeroing your rifle is immensely helpful for long-range shots. I look at the nearest Cap point to my target, set my zero at that range, and then shoot them. Such an awesome new feature that still takes some skill to use effectively.
I also love the canted ironsights. I like to use the DMRs with an ACOG, but it's wonderful being able to switch to a sight more appropriate for CQC.
I've completely forgot about the zeroing option. I'll have to test it out when I get off work.
I've really enjoyed what I've played so far, even thought most of it is SP. I have played 2 multi games and have K/D of 2.0 so that's good. Unlocks are hella-slow, but whatever. Have to take the bad with the good. But honestly, how am I ever going to get enough points in any aircraft to unlock stuff? It's really disheartening.
But the SP is fun. Story isn't bad. Difficulty on Hard hits a good spot of making me pay attention but still having a sense of urgency when in combat. Gets another gold star for not resorting to endless enemy spawns like CoD. Unlocking stuff for multi is a good idea too. I'm really glad the M249 LMG is good! That's what I want out of SP. The starter LMG (U100?) is good on burst fire but I just don't like it that much.
But there absolutely needs to be a way to skip the PDWs. I was disappointed there was no SP carbine unlock. Thankfully unlocking carbines means doing anything with the engineer class. So repairs and anti vehicle work a-hoy!
I haven't tested yet, but I bet you can do Aircraft unlocks the same way as in BF3. Join an empty rush server, join the attackers side, run to the mcom and arm it, kill yourself and respawn into the aircraft.
I've completely forgot about the zeroing option. I'll have to test it out when I get off work.
It's pretty cool, but make sure you don't over-compensate. I have found that the 200 meter zero is actually higher, probably around 250 meters, because shooting at a target 200 meters away with that zero will result in hitting slightly high. Still feeling it out.
Are there any xboxers on this thread? If so let me know so we can squad up.

I do love the fact we got c4 back. Now I feel like I can do some sneaky sneaky recon work again.

Zero'ing is mandatory if you use the 40x ballistic scope.
You cannot maintain your target within the sights otherwise.

I thought the MX4 was fine. I am using the AK5C now because it's pretty much just better but it was pretty point and shoot. I put a 3.4x scope on it even though it isn't great at longer ranges but it helped me see stuff better.

I loved it in Shanghai but in the full game on any kind of open map I mostly just cowered in a small corner and hoped someone would chance by.
For anyone trying to unlock carbines or just any weapon in general don't forget you can always just grind out domination for a bit. It is not my favorite game mode but damn if it's not the best for weapon kills.

I have people added to the whitelist, but until they implement queues, it's not going to do anyone any good.
I got Procon setup so I can more easily manage the server. Once I have finished configuring everything there, I will start looking for admins. But first, some ground rules. Don't come to me for admin. I will come to you. I have a short list of people in mind already. We will not be kicking pubs from the server to make room for PA mans. That really damages out reputation and could lead to difficulties filling the server in the future. I appreciate your feedback on the server, but I can't cater to everyone's personal tastes. If you don't like a particular map, don't ask me to remove it from the rotation. I want the admins to just be there to kick hackers if I am not around. My goal is for player to never even notice the admins.

This is a patch for Battlelog and not for Battlefield 4 which is why it has nothing that anyone gives a shit about.
Does anyone know where i can find a performance guide or something for this game? I run fairly smoothly at high/ultra and its playable, but once and a while i'll get little sudden drops in FPS for short bursts. I wouldn't mind figuring out what the biggest performance killers are in the settings.
In case anyone is wondering who the drunk asshole [PA] GarageFridge is, it's me.

So, is mag pool the default on servers or something, and not ammo pool? I don't necessarily dislike the setting, but it's getting weird going between servers where some have it and some don't. Figured it was going to be a hardcore only thing.

For a server to be "official", (meaning it will be on the list for autojoin) mag pool has to be enabled. It sucks, but it will keep the server full of pubs. I am hoping that is just an oversight on the part of DICE. I seem to remember reading that mag pooling was supposed to be a HardCore setting.
Haven't seen this posted yet - I was gettin constant direct x crashes until I did the following:
Go to Documents/Battlefield 4/Settings/PROFSAVE_PROFILE (open with notepad) Look for "GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 0" and change the "0" to "1" and save the file.
That change stopped the crashes completely for some reason...
