There is short cut at the end where I thought "better save this to the hdd" and then it went on.

There is something about the top of the A point on Flood Zone that attracts oblivious pubbies. I cleared out about 5-6 people from there once, even running in front of a guy, who doesn't even realize I'm there while I am fumbling to try and kill him.

I want to find out if this game has a PS3 goon group as good as the BC2 group. Where are the PS3 goons hiding? Does the game run well on PS3? I have a lovely PC.

So anyone have any grip recommendations for the M16A4? Been running with the stubby for now, but it seems it's pretty worthless if it only saves the 3rd shot. Does the AFG actually lower all first shot recoil or just the FSRM? If it's the latter, it's also uselsss on the '16, so am I just best off running the movement one? So confused.

Haven't unlocked it yet myself but yeah, the stubby grip is probably useless on burst guns. Go with the AFG for tighter burst groups or the ergo grip for better on the move shooting.

According to the stat page my overall accuracy is 2.5%. It says I have fired over 90,000 shots in 5 hours or so of playing. To do that I would have to have fired roughly 5 shots a second every second I have been logged into the game, including waiting to respawn and times when I was commander etc.

The reason I asked is that the bursts don't get hit by FSRM until the last bullet of the burst's been fired, and I'm not sure if AFG's just reduce the FSRM (at which point they'd be useless for burst firing because what FSRM?) or the actual recoil.

Mobile AA, miniguns, etc count for the shots fired thing. You can easily put out a few thousand, if not more, shots in a round if you're constantly on a minigun or in the AA. The accuracy stat is kind of a joke that way, too: even my AR's and LMGs have accuracy in the 18-25% range, but my overall accuracy is around 3% because of what I mentioned.

Near as I can tell from the accuracy charts on Symthic, it's the former. Makes it so that the following shots hit closer to the first one.

So, I've been playing BF4 and I have to say that the levels are a lot better than vanilla BF3. Although, is there a problem with Siege of Shanghai? Not many servers seem to rotate to that map and I actually liked that level.

Regardless, I have to say this game is an improvement over BF3 although it doesn't have my favorite weapon the AN-94. Hopefully they'll get to add that in sooner or later.

AEKS still a good gun for assault or is there now a better gun for the roster?

Apparently a lot of people crash when the tower collapses in Siege of Shanghai. And yea the AEK is probably still the best close range bullet hose for assault. The SAR-21 is good for mid range.

Which would make it nearly useless for burst fire weapons. The stubby helps slightly but if you're not firing at maximum RoF, spread settles fast enough that it would make a negligible difference at best.

So yeah, ergo grip would be the only good grip for a M16A4.

I don't remember what symthic uses for bullet plots, but they clearly show the afg tightening things up a lot. Gonna try running m16/comp/afg later today to see if it actually works.

Maybe? I haven't noticed anything, but I've been using the machete mostly.

And if you want to go on a knifing spree, find a big TDM of Lancang Dam and use the north, west and south boundaries as lanes of movement. You can catch unaware pubbies sniping or sitting in the spawn pocket and just go nuts.

Burst mode has different FSRM mechanics, though, which might not be accounted for in the plots.

The plots don't account for how burst fire works with FSRM. For all they know, they may as well be firing a fully automatic weapon.

The accuracy plots for the M16A4 and M4 would look drastically different if they were represented correctly.

Why would you pay $90 for a $60 game that was available for $48 or lower in multiple locations?

Quoting someone who hasn't even installed the game and doesn't know what he's talking about* isn't exactly helping your case either.

* Memory leaks are isolated to a subset of W8 users. 64p servers are fine if the server provider is good, which unfortunately means not NFO at the moment. Not to say DICE isn't at fault here but it's not difficult to find a perfectly stable 64p server.

Weird. There's a bunch of threads about it and the common factor between most users affected is W8. Several people also reported seeing memory leaks only after upgrading to W8. And it was a problem in BF3 associated with W8.

I played the game with both W7 and W8.1 without problems in this regard. I did make sure to install the DX drivers that come with the game though; That seemed to fix the issue for a lot of people.

The Dev on twitter who explained about the FSRM being on the last round of the burst also said that angled fore grips / folding grips do effect the burst fire.

Yes, but angled grips only affect FSRM. The FSRM is moved to the last shot. If as a result only the last shot's recoil is reduced, that isn't all that useful. In my opinion, the reason to use the angled grip is to get a tighter grouping of shots on the initial burst; You can easily adjust for the FSRM between bursts with the M16A4.

I play on W7 with 6 GB Ram and have no ram issues whatsoever (haven't updated directx x drivers). But as a tradeoff I get sound loops that freeze my game for anywhere between 3 and 10 seconds.


I have a very different problem. When connecting to a server via the little "play" icon in the server list, or via the "join a friend" function, I get booted more often than not.

If I use the big fat "join" button it usually works.

That's the AT-4. I think what makes it special is RPG 7 damage with SMAW accuracy. That and it's a launcher you can use with any class, which is great if you're in a pickle and need to take out that tank.

There's two other launchers as battle pickups, besides the grenade launcher. Both are AA though.

Oh ok, that's real sad since I really enjoy trying to get out of that high rise before it collapses and kills me. I tried out the SAR-21 and man is it a lot better than the QBZ-95. Thanks for the recommendation!

Also, I didn't know that counter knifing was possible until during a TDM game when some guy was about to stab me then a prompt to hit f appeared and I knifed him instead. I gotta say that was great.
