Yerok posted:RPG killed two helicopters in my first beta match, and landed a well aimed infantry RPG snipe from a parachute. Did they increase the projectile velocity again or something? It doesn't feel as fast as the Carl G was in Bad Company 2 or anything but it seems quicker than BF3. Yeah, they increased the velocity by quite a bit from BF3. I also think it has slightly less drop but that might be the increased velocity loving with my brain.

The first thing I noticed before losing connection to the server in about 10 minutes is how inaccurate the Coaxials are overall on the vehicles. I guess they designed it so that you and a co-gunner are supposed to blanket a wide area with bullets to promote teamwork and also give ATs a fighting chance instead of getting lasered by a single pilot vehicle. Seems to run OK and I'm playing with a GTX 470 on an i5-3570K. Probably going to end up shelving Planetside2 until they get major updates out and give BF4 a chance even though BF3 was, overall, a bummer. So when do we get grappling hooks and zip lines?!

I don't think all of the stuff is in yet. The rubble after the skyscraper falls looks like rear end and I find it hard to believe those are the final textures. Zzulu posted:Well I just tried the beta. Got a lot of random stuttering for no good reason.

It takes all three to MAYBE kill a tank, and forget jihading, which will at most disable unless you get really lucky. 2 bricks has been working just fine for me. Although I do tend to go for the back when the tank is looking the other way.

First impression: Spawn with my back towards a tank, get oneshotted by said tank. A few instagibs by tanks, snipers and an attack helicopter later, I run into some other infantrymen. I plink at the first one with my dinky semi auto rifle that takes more then 3 shots to kill somebody, he ineffectively plinks back, I get sniped and he dies to a friendly tank. A few more instagibs later, I manage to headshot some other infantry. Then my killstreak is cut short by a sniper. I eventually get myself up to 7-12 and then I get killed by a guy who, according to the killcam, is on the far side of a steel barrier. Next I get exploded by a tank again, spawn with my back to enemy and promptly die and my final respawn was on a teammate who was sitting behind a dustbin. Then I get oneshotted by the sniper who pinned him there and the game ends with me at 7-16. Are any plans for a map without tanks, helicopters and snipers who get to sit on 50 story building with no apparent way to get up there besides the helicopters? Or at least maps where everybody gets a chance at the invulnerable instagib vehicles because I never saw any opportunity to get into any of them myself.

First, there aren't any classes that spawn with a semi-auto rifle at the start, did you accidentally set yours to single-fire by pressing V? Second, you might try Domination, which is infantry-only on a much smaller map, very much like the CoD game mode. If that's not your thing then you'll just kinda have to get used to the way Battlefield works, as your experience is fairly normal.

Battlefield probably isn't for you then. There's a massive amount of routes to bypass tanks that they're essentially a non-issue. Especially since every class can do decent damage to them now. I can't stand the DMR's but the Carbines and the Shotguns are both excellent alternatives for a Recon.

Does anyone know for sure if damage against vehicles works in BF4 like it does for BC2 and BF3? I've been assuming so but I'm not sure. For new people: vehicles take more damage the more of a straight on 90 degree shot they take to any side. So glancing shots do less damage. Also tanks have most armor on front, some armor on sides, and just about zero armor on their rear end. Shoot tank asses.

Also, I'm kinda pissed that on the large version of the map, D no longer has those ladders on the sides. Trying to clear out people too smart to eat XM25's is a bitch when the only entry points are the elevator and parachuting down.

I've found that a perpendicular side hit does more damage than a low angle rear hit, while I believe they did the same in BF3. Also, there better be some DMRs in retail that don't suck dick cheese, getting 4-5 hits to kill is ridiculous.

Right now, if you're not frame or lag-spiking, the 110 and the RFB are both pretty drat good. Would benefit from getting an eotech/mag setup and a laser or muzzle brake, though. VV Still trying to figure it out. It's nice if you can get headshots up close, because it concentrates the spread vertically, but I see very little benefit to it if you're engaging at ranges where pellets have time to spread out.

I can't stop firing that gun every two seconds because it is so loving satisfying to use and it sounds so good.  I hope we get the M60 the in the final game can't wait to see how that sounds like. Also holy poo poo they improved the weapon models so much and the weapon camos look absolutely gorgeous. Maybe it's because I have been playing planetside for the longest time where the weapon camos all look like somebody took a poo poo on your gun.

Not that I would condone this type of behavior, but if you look straight up in a non-gunner seat on a somewhat stationary transport chopper, you can stick some C4 to the roof.

KM Scorchio posted:I haven't played a battlefield game befor and I'm loving running round popping tanks as an engineer with carbine for infantry work. Is there any standard setup gear wise I should be working towards? No. This isn't an MMO. You use whatever you enjoy. Propaganda Hour posted:Does anyone know for sure if damage against vehicles works in BF4 like it does for BC2 and BF3? I've been assuming so but I'm not sure. Yep. Same system. The difference is the move away from being always being disabled at a certain health threshold and the new system of critical hits and mobility kills. Glancing shots can't be critical hits because of maths, but the direct 90 degree hits to the side and rear almost always are. The top also has its own damage modifier now. C4 is always a critical hit and a mobility kill though, usually even when it isn't attached to the tank, so just nut up and start C4ing everything instead of using children's toys to lightly tickle tanks. Gazaar posted:Side, rear, wherever. 2 C4 is the golden rule of c4 in BF games. It'll always be 2 in the beta because none of the tanks have access to reactive armor. Once reactive is equipped, it'll become 3. Reactive in the alpha was different from BF3 though in that it just applied a modifier to incoming damage and then disappeared after a certain amount was absorbed rather than totally absorbing a single hit and then disappearing. The upshot was still adding one more hit to kill from a given side, though. Smegmatron fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Oct 6, 2013 |

I'm thinking the gun handling feeling more COD-like is perhaps because of the 1x zoom for RDS/Kobra, rather than the 1.5x in BF3. The perceived recoil is much less.

TheRationalRedditor posted:It's shared with either deploy bipod or toggle weapon light. You can bind keys more than once as long as they don't directly conflict in function. Fun fact: if you look at the bottom-center of your screen, it has a little rose showing what keys do what. Sight switch is usually on T, zeroing/firemode switch is usually V, etc. But it's all there right on the bottom of the screen. Don't know if it changes with re-bound buttons, but then you should have checked what you're binding.
