[BF4] 100% of servers now running 24/7 Meatro. We've come full circle.

I gained eleven levels in one day and compared to four days ago I have about ten percent more playtime and half again as many points. Stacking boosts is powerful stuff.
@Skull2185, if you click on the premium event on the calendar, it lists the event as...
*ahem*
...double xp weekend for Premium members.
Let the XP boost stacks continue!
Also, Silk Road, oh no, another Tanks In The Desert map. How I hate those.
Sweet!
I used a 100% boost last night, but only played for around 20 minutes before quitting in frustration. If I have a few 25%s as well, can I stack them ontop of the 100%? Is that what you mean by boost stacks? Because that would be awesome.
Ah, sorry. I was referring to stacking a (singular) XP boost on top of the double XP bonus for the premium event. So using a 100% XP boost during a double XP weekend = a 200% XP boost in a match.
I know bf3s premium went on sale at one point that was fairly late in its life cycle though last spring I believe.
I have seen mine disappear sometimes. They came back, but I'm unsure what triggered it.
It wasn't just the DLC. DICE has been working tirelessly over the past two months to release a constant stream of patches. Quite frankly, I'm impressed with how fast they're churning them out.
Nailed a DV-15 at obscene range with my SRAW, getting a multi-kill. Turned around, looked up and fired one at the scout helo above and...
Got shot in the back. However, I got a kill four seconds later. The rocket had followed the laser dead into the ground where my wire was now pointing and smashed directly into my killer, doing a perfect U-turn 100ft up.

Forget tanks chasing you and buildings collapsing.
That shit is 'only in battlefield'
I picked up Premium from GreenManGaming about a week or two after release for $40. I'm sure EA will be running sales at some point, but don't forget to keep an eye open elsewhere for 3rd party sales.
There's no announced release date for when Second Assault will be available without BF Premium on any platform.
Welcome to what I've been bitching about from launch till now, helicopters take it on the chin and considering IGLA's ignore flares they take it twice as bad.
Alternatively, the reload times on AA missiles could stand to be lengthened, or their ammo amount toned down. Even before I learned I could re-acquire a lock with the Igla (derpderp), I was able to take down choppers really easily because I could just reload the second I saw countermeasures and have another rocket zooming at it in a few seconds, oftentimes before it even had a chance to dive into cover. I don't have to be judicious and pick my shots carefully, because I have something like five freakin' rockets. I could whiff over half my ammo and still stand a good chance of downing a chopper with a well-timed mobility kill.

I'd like to see below radar come back so I can at least have some respite from the constant AA. Even if they keep the mobility kills and way too long counter measure reloads I'd have some kind of chance to scoot before I got wasted.
That said I feel like the weapons on attack helis are pretty spot on. Rockets can hurt tanks and infantry alike if you've got the aim and the gunner seat feels pretty powerful. Compared to BF3 where you had a better chance of killing an enemy with a kamikaze run than any of the weapons. I just wish I could stay in the air for more than 30 seconds before getting rolled over.
I would like to echo this sentiment. I have fired my IGLA plenty of times, gotten a number of those "Mobility kill" notices, but I have not actually killed anybody nor destroyed any aircraft with one. Of course, I've also nailed a Little Bird with a tank's HE shell (complete with getting the hit indicator) and having the Little Bird fly off and showing no indication of taking any actual damage (this happens on servers with <40ms ping, too)...so I'm just starting to think that AA is just not for me.
But if it's two or more people with AA? Completely fucked, unless I have people repairing me, which is why the attack chopper is so weak now. It's the slowest moving chopper and the least survivable.
If you crash after getting mobility killed I don't think it actually counts as a kill. You just get a killed in action screen.
Ugh...
Well, guess that means the MP7 just isn't for me, either. Thankfully, I'm pretty much in love with the MTAR
I'm really glad I've tried learning how to fly this time around. I'm not nearly as good at the bigger choppers as I am the z-11 but man that littlebird. That thing is just the definition of fun. I wish i had one in real life. We're still playing scrublords get on the DOAM! It is 9PM on friday night. Are you killing salty bitches who be ANGRY?

What a pile of wank.
Literally single-handedly just made me decide to forgo/eschew any sort of digital-only future for the time being, wish I could sell the fucker, so bad on so many levels.

Way too much like a job than a game.
Too expensive, the season pass seems contrived, the menu systems suck, the apps are crap and the controls counter-intuitive.
In fact, this game almost makes me long for a 'pay X to unlock all the shit' option. Any game that conjures such wilful dismissal and fosters such a sense of forced labour just ain't worth the hard drive space.
