I definitely enjoy flying the transport choppers as well but for whatever reason the attack helos just don't do it for me. I also suck at hitting anything with the rocket pods, so that might have something to do with it.

What am I missing with the ucav? Do I have to unlock air bursts? Do I just kill people by ramming them first? I swear I've hit people with it and they didn't take any damage

I don't know if I hit anybody with it last night but I was just crashing it at their feet and managed 17 in a round. It seemed like it didn't quite explode on contact since a few I landed right in front of someone and didn't get a hit marker. E: HAHAHA! Googling for more UCAV info comes up with a reddit thread about how it's making the game 'unplayable.'  Charles Martel posted:Is it just me or did In my time playing I think the best way is to tap-fire whenever you're in a ranged firefight. It really makes the recoil much more controllable.

So I've reached Rank 10 playing Domination and am starting to get a grasp on things. I like the majority of things better in this game; the single-player campaign wasn't oh-emm-gee amazing, but it was serviceable, if a bit on the short side. At least I was able to finish it. Now Dice needs to just make it more interesting next time around in BF5/BC3/whatever. As far as multiplayer goes, it has tons of potential. The maps are better, the graphics and framerate are (obviously) much better, but the gunplay feels much different this time around. I don't know if it's my slow DSL connection, but it feels like I'm a half-second behind everyone and even when I get the drop on people, they can still outgun me. The only times I've excelled in a match is acting like a Is it just me or did  add a fuckton of recoil to the ARs and LMGs? I don't remember having nearly this much trouble in BF3 with mid-range fights. Whomever has the weapon with the fastest fire rate seems to win, but the recoil is so bad I either have to a.) take my finger off the trigger to burst fire to improve my accuracy, which usually gets me killed if the enemy is aware of me since I'm now firing at a slower rate, or b.) lay on the trigger which causes my AR or LMG to go wildly off target, and ends up...wait for it...getting me killed.Anyone encounter something like this, or am I just going crazy? Oh, and sniper rifles and shotguns are still as bullshit as ever. Charles Martel fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Dec 16, 2013 |

Charles Martel posted:even when I get the drop on people, they can still outgun me Play on hardcore servers. Everyone has 60% as much health as in normal, which leads to more firefights being won by the player with the tactical advantage, regardless of relative aiming skill. It also means you can kill people with any weapon you like rather than feeling forced to carry the broken OP gun du jour just to keep up. Charles Martel posted:take my finger off the trigger to burst fire No matter what you think it is doing to your rate of fire, do this at all times. If you try holding the trigger down you will continue to lose more shoot outs than you survive. This has always been true in this series of shooting video games.

Does anyone know if there's going to be double exp event soon? I just want to unlock all these weapons to use whenever I want and under normal exp that'd take forever.

I bought BF3 for tenbux to give it a try while I wait for BF4 to unfuck itself, and since everyone I play with seems to have a thorough knowledge of the game that I don't. Anything I should know about fundamental differences going in?

It also means you can kill people with any weapon you like rather than feeling forced to carry the broken OP gun du jour just to keep up. Solid advice. Maybe I will try hardcore after I get a little more comfortable with the maps. What would the de facto OP bullshit weapon be this time around anyway? I'll stick to burst fire, which I am used to doing going back to BF2 (I missed out on 1942 sadly  ), but I swear it feels like they turned the recoil up to 11 this time. I could gently caress someone's poo poo up in BF3 even if they saw me first a good majority of the time, but I'm struggling here.I'll just err on the side of caution, be tactical, and stick with it, I guess. When I get "in the zone", this game is the sex. As far as maps go, Operation Locker and Golmoud Railway are fun, and Flood Zone can eat a thousand bags of dicks.

How do you spot in BF3? Or was that feature new for BF4? Also drat, going down to the lower frame rate (on the PS3 anyway) is tough.

Spotting was originally Select. Don't how that'll work with DS4sSamurai Sanders posted:I bought BF3 for tenbux to give it a try while I wait for BF4 to unfuck itself, and since everyone I play with seems to have a thorough knowledge of the game that I don't. Anything I should know about fundamental differences going in? Namely, since it's the console port of BF3, you're limited to 24 players and downsized maps. Vehicles don't have limited ammo in BF3. So fire forever. IFVs can pretty much bring down anything and are the most over powered land vehicle in the game. Lock on weapons don't require you to keep on target. Just fire and forget. That's about it. Oh and no counter-knifing. Takedowns only work from behind. Swipes from the front do 50 damage. yellowcar fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Dec 16, 2013 |

I've now gotten 3 or 4 Veteran Battlepacks for my AK12. 328 kills. I still don't have all the attachments unlocked.  I refuse to move on to a new gun until this happens.

Hm...so far 3 feels like a slower, uglier version of 4. Is there any great advantage to it, or should I just call it good and go back to 4?

You can't use Quick Match to play hardcore; you have to use the server browser. In-game I believe you click in the right stick on the server browser screen to change filter options. But gently caress all that, just use battlelog on a tablet or laptop to find and join a server running settings you want.

causticBeet posted:r1, it's actually super nice and way easier to mash when you're moving since you don't need to take a thumb off your stick I've been trying to break the habit of spamming R1 because while I run around I tend to spam it instead of shooting people or I keep saying "GET IN" "GET OUT" "SORRY" "AFFIRMATIVE" over and over again probably confusing the hell out of people. I really wish there was a better way to do those commands so I can have spot be its own button. Edit: Apparently if you put a deployable that you can personally control like a SOFLAM in the capture radius of a point you can use it to capture that point remotely. Step 1: Place SOFLAM inside the capture radius. Step 2: Leave the area and do whatever. Need to capture the objective back and your SOFLAM is still up? Step 3: Find a place to hide real quick Step 4: Swap to your SOFLAM and go into first person mode on the device. Congratulations you are now capping the objective remotely.

Kinect voice for the commorose is hilarious sometimes. Mostly it just interprets me saying "ah gently caress" as Affirmative. literally any word starting with S to "sorry". then I say 'need medic' and nothing happens

Speaking of which, how does Quick Match usually work with the expansions on consoles? Do they ever run servers with mixed vanilla/expansion maps or do I kinda have to just do either/or?
