I'm going to venture that the upgraded ammo box is part of a battle pack? Is it me or is this catering less and less to the battlefield crowd?

^^^ The upgraded ammo pack is actually BF4 premium only. At first the new ammo packs seem lovely, but one important differences is that your soldier picks them up when he runs over it so you no longer need to stay close to the pack to get ammo. You can just keep going afterwards, this consumes the pack, but the support can throw two at the time and then regen in his inventory just like vehicle ammo does. The small health packs functions the same way. To heal/resupply specific people with the packs try to throw it at them and the pack will home in on them in the air.

Zotix posted:Destroying C should require some c4 or other explosives placed inside the tower. They just need to randomize the Levolution "health" crap per round so you don't always play games where it falls right away. Either that or add a director a la Left 4 Dead 2. If one team is dominating the round and holding onto C the whole match, drop the health of building so it falls easily etc.

The passenger seats on the Huey let you turn almost completely around. You can easily place an ammo box for everyone to resupply from. Just fly around with airbursters on both sides along with gunners and just destroy everything.

Oh hey, according to BF4 central some Galil ACE guns will be in the full release. That's cool. BUT WHERE'S MY MTAR EDIT: Are DMRs semi-auto only despite their real-life counter parts being select-fire, along the same lines as the M417 in BF3? Also what the hell is the RFB doing in this game? It's cool to see it in a video game, but funny at the same time since it's basically an available-to-rich-Americans-only gun (with a spotty reputation at that) made by a relatively small operation out of Florida. It's like the DICE gun team just somehow happened upon it as was like "sure, that one too." Ain't complainin', though. DrPop fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Oct 2, 2013 |

You have a reserve of ammo. Once thats depleted you have to wait a while before your next reserve of ammo resupplies.

Hey dudes, I really hate push to talk, so I wrote a program. I'm probably a dumbass and this is already solved by something else, but whatever. https://github.com/tarehart/alter/releases/tag/v0.1 It listens to the mic and sends the left Alt key when you're talking. The experience is a lot like mumble / other 3rd party voice chat programs.

You point it at something and hit the button and you'll get the range between your guy and the object and then the scope will adjust to hit things at that distance. No more looking up into the sky to get that 300 meter headshot.

Distance to target is shown in the scope view.

Has anyone had any luck getting battle screen to work on their devices? I saw someone apparently had it working with a second monitor, so maybe it's PC only at the moment? I can't find any information about this online and I wanna try it
