Yeah, sorry guys, I guess that's the case. I'm only level 3 so I didn't think I had unlocked anything like that.

You get the carbine so fast by playing Engineer you might as well consider the default carbine a basic starting weapon.

How do the tanks feels this time around? Are there any maps that focus on lots of ground vehicles duking it out?

Well, forget Skygods. Landgods is where it's at. Tanks are monstrous and will probably stay that way for long time till the engineers have unlocked and figured out the better Anti-Tank launchers. You've got stuff like Gunners being able to poo poo out an incendiary cloud, or put up an anti-missile shield. You've got HE shells with the same anti-tank as all the other main gun rounds. You've got near perfect accuracy coax.

Good, I'm glad tanks are pretty buff. At least with landgods you feel like you have a chance to take that tank down. Skygods can just go gently caress themselves though.

I played a couple rounds this morning for the first time, and it crashed after my first round. But it saved all the XP information and I didn't lose it.

I'm guessing there are save points, and if you crash between them you lose progress. I crashed earlier after ranking up and came back to battlelog at my old rank.

Yeah no disrespect to any :dice: people here, I'm really not feeling that motivated to play BF4 after the first few hours. I know a big part of it is the technical issues, namely the lagging and my machine spinning like a bitcoin miner, but something just feels off and I can't really put my finger on it. Probably the whole dying all the time thing due to aforementioned technical issues

Make sure you don't have any empty spaces in your key when you copy & paste it to Origin, dunno if it's the reason but once I did that my GMG key worked right away.

Can you stack the $5 origin credit from slim jims? Because if I can effectively get premium for about $15 worth of slim jims, I'm gonna eat some cheap meat.

I do pretty well with it, but at medium range only. Though that seems to be the way it's set up.

So for the people like me who are on the fence about the premium package, has it been worth it so far? The battlepacks that is.

Anyone have trouble redeeming slim jims for battle packs? I redeemed one, entered the code in Origin, but never received a battle pack. Does it just take a while?

The battlepacks are probably the thing you should be least concerned about - it is just going to be a bunch of random camos, tags and weapon accessories that you might say "oh, that's kinda cool" about one or two and then never consider using the rest. Wait for a sale on premium, like a Black Friday deal, so you get all the expansion DLC at a discount.

The mag glitch actually severely saps my will to play Support because the M25 is completely gimped by it. Since it can only reload 2/5s a magazine at once, you usually end up dumping more ammo than you can reload in 20 seconds.

I didn't get to see all the levelution events, but Parcel Storm is pretty cool. Not only does one of the points change, but an actual storm comes too, so there's a lot of rain and wind and waves (which affects the boats). It's pretty cool.

Another one is in the new "metro" map, a turbine or something collapses so you can access a point through 2 floors instead of 1. It's not as big a change but I guess it's something. :effort:

Fake Edit: I had to stop playing multiplayer though because I was consistently crashing even after restarting my computer. Singleplayer was fine, but I just couldn't stay connected to a server. Has anyone else had problems like this and found a solution?

Only one I've really seen was Paracel and I thought the weather change and what not would be underwhelming but it turned out to be quite cool. I was also right at C when the destroyer crashed into the beach

For those of you who have the freeze with sound looping issue I went in and messed around with my video settings and something in there seems to have fixed it. I had a custom profile from the beta and kept clicking things and once I set everything to medium I've been crash free ever since. So I'm guessing it's some setting in there causing this, not sure which.

A quick Google search says that latest drivers have crossfire profiles in, and since this Dice worked closely with AMD on this game I'd be almost 100% sure that it supports crossfire.
