Double XP has allowed me to get to rank 50, and I only bought the game when it went on sale for $25.

As an early adopter of the regular edition and premium, I'm definitely feeling buyer's remorse after all the crashing and the initial hype from playing in the beta and the knowledge that I could've 2x(or more w/ boosts) gotten to this point for half the price.

Well, at least this isn't a game being run by :pgi: Piranha Games. It'll get fixed at some point, but man...

Anyway, the UCAV is incredibly dumb and great for dumping a big gently caress you on snipers and small clusters of infantry ~200+ meters away.

The UCAV is a lot of fun. I spent several rounds doing nothing but using the UCAV and it just doesn't get old. I really wish I had the airburst UCAV but I hate camping the bomber hut so who knows when I'll get the ribbons for it.

There is no better feeling that to know that every person you kill sees that emblem. Also having it proudly stamped on the side of all your guns (I've noticed it especially prevalent on the PKP) and every vehicle is also amazing. That alone is worth the cost of premium. I did your job, :dice:/EA. Use that to sell premium.

The only reason I'm not using Ghost Dad is because I'm using the equally awesome Sgt. Chowdown. :colbert:

It's pretty straightforward, the Goon spreadsheet explains it at the top? :confused:

If you can stomach reddit, you can search the BF4 forums there for specific instructions on how to import/export emblems in either firefox or chrome.

I just spent a third of a round in Zavod being a total dick with the arty wagon, a third of the round being shoved around in my arty by some tank driving fuckface on my team, and a third of the round chopper hunting with the mobile aa.

Does being decent at supporting with the arty (literally easy as hell, I won't deny that) piss these loving pubbies off or did poo poo for brains there want the arty to gently caress around with it and be terrible at supporting pushes?

What a shitlord. It can reach all the way to the top/back of the factory (relative to US spawn) from around spawn. No reason for it to move up unless you want to camp their base with it or some poo poo.

I was just sitting there nuking tanks and their AA gun, having a blast and this shithead starts pushing me around in his tank. They oughta make the drat thing lay down some anchors to hold still anyway.

Props to him. I can barely fly the thing since it has such a short flight time and has super sensitive controls. Can it even kill you in one hit? I was under the impression it did 50 damage at most.

I think you have to jump from the window on the 3rd floor onto the balcony. The window that overlooks the main area.

Public players are often like that for less malicious reasons (i.e., just being a general idiot).

I'd be driving down the road in a tank and I'd see a LAV catching up behind me. I'd move over to the side giving the LAV plenty of passing space but he has to go and ram me anyway.

Yes, I was hit twice in the match for one hit kills. It is goddamn infuriating.

Enjoy it while you can.
I discovered that spot on locker the day the game released. You have to mount the window sill and then run at a diagonal to get there. 2fat said that he would ban me from the server for doing it because it would crash the server. *lies* but it is an unfair location, unless the other team just spams explosives up there.

GamersGate has it for 20% off making it $40. If you can find someone who has the compensation discount (an additional 20% off the sale price) it comes out to $32.

Yea you are right it is a one shot. The airburst thing does 50 damage. The little UCAV does a surprising amount of damage to vehicles too. Hitting tanks for 50 damage and I killed a MAA that was at 60% health in one shot. I still feel like a wookie shitlord that contributes almost nothing to his team while hanging back looking for sweet mlg headshots people I can fly the UCAV into.

Camping the bomber is totally worth it. Protip you can kill your on team by driving vehicles at them then jumping out before impact.
