So I went into a 4p server and the game started on my join, I immediately did some tactical parley and asked if we could do cheevo's and get the CTF copter grab.
Firstly I got it and my pubby nabbed the flag while I flew, then it was the enemies turn to fly and I gave him the copter. First thing he does is shoot the enemy to death, enemy shoots back.

So I left the server knowing that in the end I won, and shed a single tear for the mentally handicapped.

any flag transport counts for the assignment, not just in a helo. I got mine driving a tank.

I assume this is because the handful of (excruciating) times i played CTF, i never saw a transport chopper (not sure i saw a LB either, though I could be mistaken on that one)

The harvesting of pubby tears is an ancient tradition among goons, and said pubby tears have been a staple in gamer-goon diet for generations, surpassed in their importance only by Cheetos and Mountain Dew.

Origin and Battlelog use different avatars. Instead of using the picture in your Origin profile, Battlelog handles user pictures through the Gravatar service.

Don't worry, as long as I'm playing I'll do a monthly sweep or so to get rid of the goons who don't play. PM me on battlelog, I'll work something out.

What time do Goons usually play? I got BF4 on release day, had crashing problems that prevented me from playing for more than a few minutes, then was without my gaming PC for two months tracking down a problem (that turned out to be PCIe on the Ivy Bridge chip). Then when I finally got everything back up, the Goon BF4 community seemed to be dead.

There's usually 6-12 North American goons on after 6-7pm PST at least until 10-11ish on weekdays in my experience. No one uses the Camping The Stairs BF4 server any more, so just add a bunch of goons to your friends list and you'll see where the majority are playing. Or fire up the CTS mumble and just ask, server info here.

I plan on staying more active this time around mostly due to A)the Mrs. getting sent overseas for work for three months leaving me home alone with nothing to do but drink beer and play video games when I get home from work/the gym and B) The release of Naval Strike bringing back Titan mode which will suck up my FPS time until the release of Battlefront.

Also I think BF4 is a fuckload more fun than BF3 was by a long shot, even despite the bugs and stuff.

Those of you who don't work or aren't at work now should try that out and offer a trip report.

Oh, and I was pleased I made it into the StWW platoon and look forward to capping points and getting kicked for being mean in chat this weekend.

But it's not called netcode! Someone ask them to stop it at once

Except reddit is wrong as usual. There's no mag in front of the pistol grip and the bulk of the rifle is behind it. That's the L85A2 with an ACOG.



You can see it in the barrel length, lack of mag, and the body going from the step-up over the foregrip and back.

Yeah, after I posted that I had a thought that it kinda looks like he's holding the mag in his right hand and the stock is folded over.

Should've figured on :dice:, oh well. Zoomed in more and I was wrong, the pistol grip is almost clipping with his shoulder. :downs:

Bunny-Bee makes me happy!
The latest patch designed to fix up those crash bugs makes me crash hard. The moment the map title cards fade the little underscore stalls and it just dies. Even on the test range. I've updated PB and re-installed my drivers with no luck.

GRRR!

edit: fixed it

1. Go into your game directory (D:\Origin Games\Battlefield 4, or whatever is the default one)
2. If you have a “user.cfg” file, open it in notepad.
3. Delete the command line “UI.DrawEnable 1”
4. Save the file
5. Start the game

Anyone have ideas on keybindings for PC flying? I absolutely CANNOT figure this out. Once on the test range I flew for 15 seconds then somehow I rolled onto my side and crashed. It makes no sense to me. Oh and I love these defaults. Does Dice think I can use my WASD and my Up Down keys and my mouse all at the same time?

It just doesn't make any sense. Up and down, rotate right and left, I can ALMOST do that. Anything that involves movement nope, all over the loving place.

You only need WASD, shift, space, and the mouse. W and S changes speed, A and D pivot your plane in those directions, mouse rolls and tilts. The protip everyone uses to really help is to rebind space in the flying controls from shoot to pull up. It makes cornering much easier: Just turn your mouse so you're flying sideways, with your head pointed where you want to turn, then hold space.
