washow posted:Also did I whine about JDAM being impossible to land yet? Because I want everyone to know how hard it is to land the bombs. Seriously I unlocked it yesterday and I've been dropping the bombs all day today and I managed to land it ONCE. I think it seriously has zero splash damage No poo poo. I got mine yesterday and did some screwing around in the Test Range. I was getting to the point where I could land bombs one on top of each other on a specific point of my choosing and I smugly went to a live server only to find that the MAA that I was focusing for about 10 bomb runs maybe got hit once or twice for a cool 26 damage and once for a crippling 50 damage.

I would just use fullscreen but I like to be able to easily alt-tab to poo poo that I have open in a second monitor. Oh well, I'll just keep doing it my way I guess.

SpeedyCow posted:Levolution for the new Metro will be nuking the entire level. You are automatically credited with 20 kills with your equipped weapon, and 50 revives. The server side map files are deleted and the server owner is banned from BF4 for 20 years while the "fallout" clears. Really there's a huge opportunity if they just include some of the city proper outside the subway a la Locker, but unless they go in a completely different direction than the original I don't know why they sought two "Operation Metros"

So the 20 mm cannons for the scout choppers wreck everything that has the misfortune of being made of meat and bones. The downside is with the less than stellar magazine size belt feeder is a needed equip.

I vaguely remember some sort of sign up / register list for the KFS server in BF3 (Or BC2?), is that sort of thing going to be coming to BF4 as well? Think if you did join as a registered dude you could get booted for a member?

Quick question, how is the infantry vs. vehicle balance in BF4 so far? I loved the hell out of Bad Company 2, but BF3 just felt like if you didn't want to drive a tank or heli around you might as well just not bother trying to do anything.

Whatever the first anti tank rocket you get is has the ability to track tanks if you manage to get the projectile close enough.

I remember people said it's "fire and forget" but whenever I used it, it never seemed to lock onto anything on its own. If you have to get close to the tank to use it effectively, that seems far more dangerous then just sitting at range and dumb-firing.

If you have to get close to the tank to use it effectively, that seems far more dangerous then just sitting at range and dumb-firing. You literally just aim at the tank and if the rocket passes near it it'll home in and smoke the tank. It's the easiest AT weapon in the history of battlefield. It's also really good for taking out tanks at hundreds of meters except for the fact it takes 4-5 shots to kill one.

I loved the hell out of Bad Company 2, but BF3 just felt like if you didn't want to drive a tank or heli around you might as well just not bother trying to do anything. Tanks are a threat and if you get caught in the open you're unquestionably dead unless the tanker is stupid. All of the maps have enough variety to prevent you from being steam rolled by vehicles and a lot of it comes down to risking the direct, less cover filled approach to a point or a more indirect approach that is less likely for you to get tank smashed. The most powerful air vehicle is the scout chopper but it doesn't exactly have a whole lot of staying power. The attack choppers are more for support since they can stay in the fight for longer while not being as wrecking to infantry as a good scout. Jets are kind of poo poo.

Its got a pretty good range and is locked the second the crosshairs are over the tank, there's no lockon indicator or anything like that. It is, however, complete and total poo poo at anything other than rotor disabling helicopters that are SOFLAMED or close enough to be locked on.

The projectile locks independently and has nothing to do with the actual reticule. All it has to do is pass near the vehicle. You still have to lead fast-movers.

It's not really poo poo because you have to get close (and you don't, no closer than any other launcher overall really), its poo poo because it gets NO locational damage bonuses. Hit a tank from the front, side, or rear and you're doing 21 damage. At least the RPG is the first AT launcher you can unlock. Never looking back after getting that.

I've just unlocked the AUG late last night, was playing some TDM earlier this morning. Honestly, the QBZ feels like the best assault rifle to me so far (a few I haven't unlocked yet, though), and you only have to complete the campaign and let the Valkyrie blow up to get it. I'll probably replay the last mission with the Hannah ending to get the P90 eventually, but I refuse to kill Irish off, no way, not worth it... not even for an M249.

It is, in my experience, pretty lovely against armored stuff, but wonderful against people. Basically the opposite of any of the BF3 launchers. It takes like half a dozen hits to kill a tank though, so it is sort of useless for its normal purpose.

Been having sound and ambient effects cutting in and out today. It's not a serious problem but it's a little annoying. Anyone found a fix for this yet? Also on the AV discussion, how are the other PLD friendly launchers working out now that the RPG can't lock anymore? I hope it doesn't change to how it was in BF3 where no one ever used the homing rockets.

pancakemaster808 posted:How big a deal has this "levelution" idea of theirs been? They made it sound like every map would be torn completely apart by the end, but I was hoping you guys could confirm or deny its awesomeness. It varies map to map. Flood Zone's map change is fairly substantial where it floods the entire lower part of the entire map or Shanghai where collapsing the skyscraper creates a dust cloud that lasts for the rest of the match. Other maps like Rogue Transmission/Zavod has a fairly impressive looking event with the dish/smokestacks collapsing, but that doesn't change anything except points around them. Paracel Storm is similar to the latter where crashing the destroyer dramatically changes the C point and nothing else but similar to the former in that also causes the storm to kick in which dramatically changes the boat fights where you have to deal with waves twice the height of your boat. Destruction in general is ramped up a bit though. A lot more walls to take out. Edit: I think Golmud's is just the train moving closer to your spawn when you hold it because DICE ran out of ideas I guess.

Has anyone else had issues with battlelog? When I launch it it opens my webbrowser to a bunch of broken images and terribly formatted tables and I can't get it to work properly. If i click a link at the bottom for the mobile verson I can browser that fine but it won't launch any games because it says i'm not connected on the pc. It's getting pretty frusterating.
