Batham posted:I agree with that defibs are now completely optional, rather than being so good that they're basically mandatory. You can only get rezzed once, or atleast for a while, and the charge-up time for defibs means that you'll likely kill yourself if you try to combat rez. They're still good, but not in the sense that they define the class anymore. I never noticed the change since I've been revived twice in the past two days, and just unlocked them myself. Has anyone figured out if you can still kill with them?

LAV is stupid good now. TOW missile can double tap to instantly kill anything in close quarters or can be gracefully flown into anything that sits still for 2 seconds. If someone is lasering then it turns into a top-attacking fist of god. Was having a great time mulching enemy armor until I got killed when I turned the corner and was hit with 6 different explosives at once. Then my APC refused to respawn for the entire match. gently caress.

I overclocked my Core i7 920 from 2.66GHz to 3.20GHz to compliment my 660ti and I went from 45 fps with frequent stutter to 50-70 fps with nearly no stutter. I even go over 100 fps if I look in the air. This is with low or off everything except ultra mesh quality. Now if whatever they've done to their servers can just stop so I'm not disconnecting as soon as I join that'd be loving great. It was fine three hours ago. and kept getting worse. Stupid open beta.

Acquilae posted:If you think it's an open beta now, wait until tomorrow when the masses get access It says they are taking the servers down around 8PDT in preperation for open beta. It wasn't just me. A few goons also noticed the servers slowly roasting away in the fire. I really should just record and upload what "lag" is to me and just put "Brought to you by AT&T and land of the free home of the brave capitalism FYGM" I'm bitter because it's not November so I can't have my PS4 and I want BF4 to release for real so I can actually play it without progress wipe. I've been poop socking the beta so hard.

" complaints because everything seems to unlock pretty fast and I am hardly poopsocking this game, playing like 2-3 matches a day and I have most unlocks. I hope that unlock speed carries over to the final game or they make it even faster.

Acquilae posted:Just link your BF4 profile; if anyone clicks on the emblem they can copy and use them too. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/EuBatham/stats/296899258/pc/ Enjoy! Grey Fox V2 posted:What is that? It's the logo for Novalogic's old Delta Force series. The newer ones suck, but the old ones were great. I wouldn't recommend playing them now for the first time though, they've aged poorly. They require a bit of nostalgia to enjoy. edit: For those who wanted to copy my logo, I noticed that I was using a figure that needed to be unlocked. Luckily enough, it looked (almost) the exact same as a default figure, so I swapped it. If you couldn't copy it before, you should be able to do it now!

Batham posted:http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/EuBatham/stats/296899258/pc/ That's a ton of work.  Shamelessly stolen and added you on BLog. Also, Delta Force 2 is still pretty well playable, if you can get it to run. ADS is weirdly placed, but I'm pretty sure they were the first, and for a long time only, game that did actual bullet physics, including zeroing scopes and such. Also, masterkey. Ed: welp, the emblem's saved in the list, but it doesn't seem to show up when selected for use. E2: Oh, evidently I haven't unlocked one of the shapes you've used? How the hell is that possible. Final edit: The problem was shield5, I replaced em with shield4 and it works, slightly less pretty though. Naturally Selected fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Oct 4, 2013 |

I never played ME3, but I assume that there is a mechanism in place to keep you from getting the same poo poo in multiple battlepacks, right? It's not like there is trading or crafting or whatever in this game.

It's not like there is trading or crafting or whatever in this game. If it's like ME3, then anything that you can unlock, can only drop once. XP boosters will keep dropping again and again, but you can only get a certain scope for a certain rifle once.

It's not like there is trading or crafting or whatever in this game. Yeah. ME3 had one difference in that each gun and class could be upgraded multiple times (better damage, accuracy, etc. for guns, more colour options for classes), but there's none of that in BF4. BF4 instead has shitloads of optional unlocks so I have to wonder how long it would take to cap it out (to say nothing of new Premium unlocks).

I want to like this game but right now I can't because of how good the assault rifles are and also the u-1000 light machine gun. There is absolutely no reason a guy with irons should be able to get every round on me from 500 meters when I am using a dmr with an acog and can barely see him. The assault rifles just kill so fast, the scar especially and the ak-12 is so god drat accurate. I'm dying the moment I spawn over and over to assault rifles, there is absolutely no way to retaliate. Why use anything else? So many times am I getting killed by the scar to see the guy running away or on the other side of a building before I ever hit the ground. Jesus christ.

Also, you're gonna poo poo yourself when you meet someone using an 870 with slugs... Just the buckshot 870 will stop someone dead at 20m, slugs extend that to sniper range. Just got the 870.... 25 more kills till I get the best all-around weapon. The shotguns right now are BC2 levels of awesome.

If someone is lasering then it turns into a top-attacking fist of god. I have a buddy that this has happened to several times, he goes on a rampage in the "LAV", dies and then watches the enemy "LAV" spawn and die several times before ours will respawn. At first we just thought we were missing it spawning and a pubbie getting killed in it quick, but he camped it out once, during which I killed the enemy "LAV" twice myself and watched it die a third time before ours respawned.

There are plenty of long streets on the Shanghai map, combined with the height of the rooftops 500m doesn't seem so unlikely. Suffice to say it was probably more like 300m, but that doesn't change my point. And it's not like I stand in the middle of the street taking pot shots. I was behind a 6 foot wall peeking over enough to see the guy. It's a super common occurrence I am getting outgunned at medium to long ranges by assault rifles and lmgs, and this is with me using the bolt-actions and the dmrs.

If you're capping flags, dropping heals, and reviving people, you aren't one of the bad ones. The bad ones take transport helos to the furthest corner of the map and take potshots at other bad players who are doing the same poo poo. They're the ones who park tanks inside their own deployment and try to use it like artillery. Most importantly, they're the ones who give vehicles to the other team by bailing out because they're worried about the bullets that scratched up the paint job are going to ruin their precious 0.3 KDR. Spot things, heal/resupply dudes, revive bros, repair tanks, stand on flags. Shooting comes later.

Is BF4 pretty much just a continuation of BF3 or does it play more like BC2?
