At this point pretty much every achievement I haven't gotten is because it's a stupid pain in the rear end (Jump Master) or involves a game mode that isn't Conquest. My main aim right now is to get 500 kills with whatever weapons I feel like. The highest number of kills I have with any weapon is 507 with the Mk11 and M249, and that's just because I finished up early in a round and got too busy mid-game to use something else.

Can someone explain to me how "skill" is computed in the Battlelog? Because I literally have no idea.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Can someone explain to me how "skill" is computed in the Battlelog? Because I literally have no idea. I think it's a kind of Elo rating based on who you kill and who kills you. So basically if you kill somebody with a higher skill-rating than you then your skill goes up a bunch, if you kill somebody with much lower skill it doesn't go up as much or at all. If you're killed by somebody with a lower skill-rating your own skill is reduced by a lot, if you're killed by somebody with a higher skill it won't reduce all that much. So in the context of objective-based gamemodes it's pretty much completely meaningless.

Skill is a worthless stat, don't worry about it. Once I joined a server, saw that it was a terrible game mode on a terrible map so I left without spawning in, the game gave me -61 skill for that. Flag caps/defends is the only worthwhile stat.

Skill was and is the easiest gamed stat in both bf3 and bf4. Bf3 all it took was a few metro rounds to up the skill stat by 200 or more points. Game modes and map choice were the only defining factor in the skill stat due to it being based only on kills and the skill stat of the other person. Seriously stop with the loving bf3 bullshit it was old when bf4 came out and its old now. Yeah you liked bf3 better we all get it now hop off the cross and use the wood to build a bridge and get the gently caress over it. Or you know at least have a loving clue what your talking about for once.

It's true that allowing custom servers means loads of them are poo poo, but it also means that you can consistently join only the ones that are good. And they could have made a lot of the shittiest servers disappear by having 100% vehicle respawn time and sensible ticket counts as requirements for ranked status.

A lot of people complain about instant spawn vehicles, which is 100 percent terrible and they are not wrong to bitch. Everyone does, however, forget or have not experienced the misery that is 200 percent vehicle spawn, which is somehow a zillion times worse than instant.

I remember a while back we found some server with like 500% spawn time increase on vehicles and the admins couldn't understand why people thought it was bad when one team ended up having to run everywhere due to the crazy delayed vehicle spawns. They took it personally that people didn't like not having vehicles on like loving Caspian Border.

Really it speaks to another problem. There's plenty of attack vehicles (jets, helicopters, tanks, lavs, etc) by default, but a ridiculous shortage of jeeps and motorbikes.

id like less lockons and higher damage taken on vehicles from regular rockets that would mean positioning is more important for not taking rocket fire and not "you stuck out a little bit and 3 people are immediately locking on to you"

Not sure why you be afraid of most lock-on weapons. It's far more scary if there's couple of competent engineers in any area with some cover. A pair of simultaneous RPGs will ruin your day.

The worst part of 200+ percent vehicles servers isn't the lack of transport (even though that poo poo does suck rear end), it's the fact that people seem to think it cuts down on vehicle whoring, when in reality it makes it so much worse. On a round when you have Chronojam in an AA and he kills your tanks, well have fun avoiding him for a long rear end time, because you gotta wait for a tank to counter him/keep him down. Usually the best counter to a vehicle is a vehicle, and when you gotta wait forever it sucks. Also less jihading.

I just don't like the meta of a bunch of engineers keeping a heli/tank up and all that is interesting. I can ride around in a heli for a whole match and not die as I'm repairing for a sky god, but it doesn't mean it makes for good gameplay for the pilots, for the engineers, etc. I just think the game would be more fun the launchers that required aiming were a bit more center stage

BTW all you need to delete all Jihad Jeeps from a map is just run a MAV and blow them all up yourself. Plus it's hilarious to see the MAV show up in the killfeed.

I think I've gotten killed by one, like, once so far in BF4. I got them up the rear end all the drat time in BC2 but just not at all here. And I see them a lot, so I guess people are just bad at jihad jeeping? Maybe I should just tank more, then they'd kill me more often. For a long time I figured they'd gotten a huge nerf or something cause they just never gently caress with me but from what you all are saying maybe not?
