I don't understand all these "Never Run" rules, I get that one of the better ways to play shooters is to walk when not in combat, but sometimes you need to run from A to B to get to your team.

Making running a ban issue is retarded.
Yikes, don't bother with those servers. It isn't worth entertaining that poo poo.
Also can't servers like that be reported? DICE/EA's terms might not allow for stuff like that, since it deviates too far from the experience they want to sell.

I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking "did he make nine kills or only eight?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a fragmentation grenade, the most powerful grenade in the world and it will blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself a question: "Is he allowed to use it yet?" Well, can I, punk?

Just ordered Battlefield 4 because I need a shooter. (For some reason the physical copy was cheaper than a download.) I'll be playing with goons in a week, but I have to ask: How many times am I going to calling bullshit because someone is more deadly at close range with a sniper rifle than with a shotgun? Or how many times am I going to die because someone launched c4 half-way across the map?

I've been playing Black Ops 2 while I'm at my step brother's house, and the amount of times I call major bullshit on the ways I die is astonishing. I mean, I'm not great at the game but drat man. poo poo gets ridiculous sometimes.

I mean, hit reg can sometimes be wonky, but you will rarely have those CoD sniper-beats-shotgun moments. There will be times you are completely outmatched, like when rolling as Assault and a tank shows up you have to hide or die.

Also, Origin has the game on sale for like half price, how was physical cheaper?

Awesome. That's what I needed to know.

To be honest, I completely forgot Origin was a thing. I never used it until now, so I went to other non-Steam places. Amazon had the download at 39.99, and a physical copy for the PC at 29.99. Either way, it's not a huge deal. I've got finals coming up and the later I actually get the game, the later I get hugely distracted.

It's your LP that made me buy this game, by the way. So thanks for giving me a new thing to be awful at.

Only if you didn't announce it and then poo poo talk the friendly wookies afterwards. We watched one commander do that and then promise to keep doing it for as long as they stayed away from the flags.

To expand on your specific concern, BF4 uses a locational damage system. Headshots at close range will always kill but the only other way to kill someone in a single shot at close range with a sniper rifle is to hit them in the chest. There's even a defence against that, as well. Without getting too long winded there are various perk trees for each you can gradually unlock and select and which level up through 4 different perks with the gain of squad points in an individual game, and you always get level 1. The level 1 perk of the perk tree that all classes get at the start reduces chest damage by 10%. With that on, a sniper rifle will bring you to incredibly low health but won't kill you.

If you're going to get any DLC at all, just go ahead and get premium. As a bonus you get all the premium items, access to pre-patch hilarity, and 40 layers ooooh.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
