I've thought about buying premium but I just cant bring myself to spend another $50 on a game that's so buggy. I know I'm gonna want Metro as soon as possible, and I'll probably still be playing when other expansions come out and I'll want them too. But I still feel bad enough about the initial pre order. I contacted customer support and whined a bit, but the only discount they could give me was on the base game, fat lot of good that is. That, or a titanfall beta code. So if you really want in on that beta, go complain to customer support.

I know people call it the "sound loop crash" but that doesn't actually mean it's related to sound at all. In fact, given that the past few fixes have involved specific graphics settings, it's probably not.

Short version: Sound loop crashes are what happens when the game freezes.

I think most people just use it as a descriptor. There's the sound loop crash (game hangs, sound loops), there's the CTD, there's the blue/red screen, there's the "something went wrong". Realtek gets flak because punkbuster and some other stuff does make it go all gaga for seemingly no reason, and it's one of the easiest things to eliminate when trying to figure out what the hell is actually wrong.

This game seems to have a real problem with stairs and fences. Tonight I dies about 3 times from shooting at a guy under a metal staircase (through the gaps). I would get no hitmarkers and then they would shred me. The other day I flanked 3 guys shooting out of a stairwell window on flood zone. I fired into one of them and all of my buckshot hit the inner handrail, and again, and again. I then ran up to one of them, but by then a couple of them had turned around and killed me.

How about stingers and "look in a general direction for 3 seconds" missiles and launchers get a 30 second reload time. The problem for attack helicopters is critical hit bullshit and engineers able to lock on, fire, reload, lock on again and fire before the chopper has a chance to either evade or vacate the area(which is the entire map).

No chopper pilots bitch when they get hit with an rpg or sraw, or tandem laser/javelin.

It really sucks getting pounded by idiot missiles, taking critical damage and somehow not flipping upside down, trying to land ever so gently on skids made of dynamite.

What do you think the range of stingers are? I'll give you a hint it isn't even close to the entire map. What do you want the counter to air be?

This is a good point. What class is it, though? America? Wasp? Or even as far back as the Tarawa? The mind boggles!

It's a Wasp class, the USS Essex LHD-2.

The jets aren't technically stealth jets either, the have a low RCS but aren't true stealth. Call them Fifth Generation Fighters

The other day I was under the stairs in the basement area capturing C on Zavod, I watch a guy come down the steps and what should have transpired was 2000 bullets killed him, instead the no effect rule came into play and he turned around and gunned me down.

Anyone else feel like bullets don't count if you don't look down the scope? I know a LMG isn't exactly a loving sniper rifle but at 5 feet away, hip fire should mow someone down.

But I think the thing that threatens cerebral hemorrhaging the most is how a 9mm pea shooter kills anyone in two shots, but with the amount of bullets it takes from the AA to kill a soldier you could take down 3 little birds and the original Death Star. This is playing exclusively on hardcore btw

Use the 30mm cannon and you can basically snipe infantry from a mile away with the thing. Plus Zuni's and active armor so you can be extra silly.

Played a round of locker today where one dude was going on and on about how much the other team sucks. Red Sucks, OMG so many baddies, Keep spamming LVG noobs, etc.

So they try the end around to E with about 8 guys outside. They capped it up top, but then got flanked from the outside and grenaded from the bottom. Mr. Whiner then tries to go hide so his squad can spawn on him and he gets killed by a claymore. He then goes on a tirade about how claymore and LVG damage range is bullshit and then quits right before the end of the match so he doesn't ruin his precious stats.

And then I look at his profile, top weapon with 3000 kills: LVG

Thankfully I have no sound loop crashes but I experienced a weird bug since the big SA update. Every so often when I SRAW a vehicle, I can see the rocket go at the Tank/Lav/Mrap and hit, I see a huge explosion but: no hitmarker no damage. Yesterday I SRAWed a LB. I hit, it blew up internally, I got a kill l, the thing starts auto-roating down while burning and shortly before hitting the ground *poof* it looks normal again and flies away...

I haven't ever seen the second part of this happen, but the first part is business as usual as far as SRAW shooting goes. (As is the SRAW just circling wildly, probably due to the target not actually being where it's depicted to be.)

So I played some games on altai range, where it starts off with my squad calling me a voice noob. I lose the attack helo, get out in time and zook the enemy, lay mines and zook a second helo.
I just don't get people, I finished 32-2 while doing the craziest poo poo and they think shouting noob 24/7 does anything. We lost that game 0-980 tickets :/

The LMGs have astonishingly lovely hipfire, you really need to be ADS, even if you're standing directly up their rear end.

I haven't been on in about week. So with the new patch, they didn't fix the secondary tank gunner bug where you can't fire anything? Also anyone else getting DX crashes when tabbing in and out?

I can't play at all anymore because it gets stuck on "loading level" forever. Well, maybe not forever, but I did leave it over night to see what happened and nothing did.

So I'm uninstalling everything, deleting any Origin/BF4 folder I can find and redownloading everything plus Geforce drivers. This won't work but I like doing futile things.

It's fixed for me at least, and no more crashing when switching seats. Also it was always firing, you just didn't get any visuals or projectiles IIRC.

Lots of problems with no sound, though, it's almost on every TDM server I've tried.

It was something about people using the MAV to ride up to the top of one of the skyscrapers on Shanghai domination. Basically he was saying that no one glitched in "the old days".

Question: Did they change something about SLAMs other than the damage radius? I decided to go after a MAA that was inside the uncap on Golmud, and with 3 SLAMs on the front of my jeep, I couldn't get more than a disable. Maybe because I was hitting him head on?

MAA and IFVs don't have directional armor if I recall correctly. I was having the same issue with SLAMs yesterday. Hell I had sometimes where I'd double stack regular mines with SLAMs and still not get a kill, just a disable.
