Maybe it's a bug because I didn't have any other attachments or gadgets now that I think about it. I went into the loadout menu in Battlelog and the default had nothing selected for equipment, but I was able to set everything manually including iron sights. So maybe you need to do it from Battlelog?

Acquilae posted:I tried it out for a bit and it really does; I was terrible with it, but it might be because I'm too used to the M98B. The trail and little wisp of smoke for sniper shots is a nice aesthetic touch. For straight across shots, or shooting downward, I had to use the top t bar above the center of the scope to get it to go reasonably anywhere where I wanted. Which makes no sense to me.

Batham posted:I don't see a counterpart to the Flash Hider, which is the item in question? The Muzzle Break is already unlockable via kills in beta? Also, can we talk about how those buildings are goddamn frustrating to deal with? Not because of the completely useless snipers on them, but because it makes taking territory really drat hard. One lone sniper up there means four guys parachuting down at all times, which basically means if I want to keep any flag near the area, means I had to just hang out there. The last three times, the other team had a massive obsession with the one just east of B, which meant they lost a lot of other flags (and B, for that matter) but basically forced most of the action there. The same thing often happens on D where you just have a constant stream of guys parachuting down to D, and it kind of kills the flow on the map.

OK, suddenly my game stopped playing smoothly. I was running it fine earlier this afternoon once I rolled back to the 327 driver for my GTX660, and the last few games I played have been choppy to the point of being unplayable. I had a ping of around 25 and setting the graphics to the lowest settings did nothing.

Alright, no one having the actual ammo pack is lovely as gently caress when you're an Engineer. I need me some RPGs, but the only way to get more is to die.  Also, holy gently caress, they finally added VoIP to Battlefield 3!

Played the beta on 360, it wasn't as bad as I've seen some people saying, but there's no way in hell I'd buy this on 360. Though to be honest, I don't see myself playing BF4 at all. They changed the buttons around again, I really can't get used to spotting with RB and I don't like using two sticks in vehicles, but the parachute is a lot better at least. I'm not saying BF4 is garbage or anything, but I gave up on COD because it was always the same as the last game and it looks like I'll be giving up on battlefield for the same reason. Now I set my hopes on the new Battlefront.

Those of you that want futuristic battlefield where you fire lasers just go download Planetside 2 and join Vanu. Though if you thought the unlock speed is slow in BF4 you will be in for a surprise when you play PS2.

Oh, I mean the formula could work REALLY well, and the setting is loving perfect. It just probably isn't going to be terribly different, if that's what he was expecting. Meanwhile, I found a dude that has the real ammo box, and HOLY gently caress THE XM25 IS SO WONDERFUL. Killing shithead snipers left and right... To top that off, I changed the video settings from Auto to High, and everything seems to be better as far as the stuttering. Can't imagine what the problem was, because I see no real difference between the two.

I don't know if I'm crazy or whatever but this game seems to look (and run) way worse with settings maxed than BF3, like everything is crazy blurry and the map itself really barren and ugly. Also the UI is massive and cluttered, I feel like the target audience was 90 year olds. The HUD scale in the options only seemed to affect a few things. I don't remember the BF3 beta being this straight up janky and unpleasant, this feels like a busted rear end expansion pack so far. I might be crazy though if someone feels like refreshing my memory.
