Well I can't wait to play it. Unfortunately my internet cut out while activating the game and now not only is Hardline not in my game library, but the GMG's code also says it's been used. Aghhhhhh.


Chattin with Origin support about this.


E: oh gently caress me. I bought the premium upgrade, not the base game. aaaaaagh I'm an idiot.

No clue. I did it months ago. If you Google your error and something like port forwarding then I bet you'll find the solution

Sorry, I was referring to it in context of the Battlefront Alpha, where you can go 3rd person while as infantry. I absolutely agree that it's necessary when using vehicles.

What this really means though is the Krylov is coming back and EMP grenades are going to make pubbies scream until their throats bleed. Then they'll get nerfed and I'll be sad. All worth it if the 2142 spotting system comes back though.

The spotting system was great, and did pair beautifully with EMP weapons. And the air balance was just wonderful too; one transport, one helicopter that really needs two people to operate to its full potential, emplaced AAA all over the place.

Can anyone give me advice on flying helicopters? Here's what usually happens.

1: Take off.
2: Nosedive.
3: Respawn.

Plug in a controller. Someone will say I'm wrong, but it's the only way I can manage to make a heli or jet work in this game. Bind right trigger to lifting off, left bumper to descend and left trigger to flares (because you can't unbind left trigger being free look) and then get your sticks and face buttons in order and you should be golden.

Tap C to go to third person, stick with KBM and remember you go down quicker the faster you accelerate forward.

I only figured out helicopters after playing Hardline for a while and by "figured out" I mean "can get them from point A to point B with a great deal of focus."

I never bought BF4 because of how hosed up it was at launch and also because Battlefield 3 disappointed me so much. So with all the DLC and patches is Bf4 good now? Is it any more like Battlefield 2 with larger maps? I just want to play a loving Battlefield game but since Gamespy shut down all the good games are now gone forever except for lovely bootleg servers.

BF2 was poo poo and you don't want the game to be like it. BF4 got all the bugs fixed but then DICE also made all the most fun gadgets be poo poo.

Battlefield 2 and 2142 were the height of the series so you are stupid.

Anyway since I never played 4 to begin with it's not like I'd know what got nerfed and what didn't. But do the maps actually work well with 64 players? Because Battlefield 3s really didn't.

It varies. It's decent overall, but not perfect. Some maps manage to make a full server feel kinda empty with a few hot spots scattered here and there but with most Conquest points feeling kinda empty (Golmud, Paracel)... and others are one tiny bottleneck and literally nothing else where your best bet is to just not even go for kills and farm your XP with medpacks, defib and ammo (Locker) but the majority are a decent balance where you can jump into the mosh pit if you want but you can step away for a breath of fresh air if you need it (Hainan, Zavod, Transmission). As for DLC I found Premium mostly worth the money, with a good variety of maps that keep any play style well-entertained.

edit: Also a good solution for a wide-open map is always to just jump in a tank and lay waste, since that's kinda the reason they're empty. Just don't bother with jets cause unless you're a literal god cause otherwise you're gonna get you rear end turbofucked quick.

At least that's how it feels on PS4. It might be different on PC, but the maps and player counts are the same.

Obliteration means they parachute down toward it, and you can't really do anything Grab a RHIB, it's duck season, and get ready to prioritize the guys trying to javelin you as they appear

Having put too much time into this game, most of the large conquest maps feel like certain areas are designed to have a high flow of infantry through them (the northern town of Golmud, A/B and C/D of Paracel, etc.). Most maps have outlying points for you to gently caress off too when you're tired of roleplaying Tom Cruise from Edge of Tomorrow, but it really does seem like the maps are laid out so you eventually clash in certain areas.

2142 was the best..only because its the only air vehicles I got good at it + no lock on missiles besides some EMP from turrets. Also small infantry maps on 64 person servers are ok because you can stealth + cap a point behind enemy lines.



e; I forgot about using cloak+c4 to go jihad on walkers. :happyelf:
