The campaign is hilariously bad even compared to BF3's campaign. The only plus is its piss easy even on hard.

The first sniper rifle you get is so hilariously bad unless you're getting constant headshots. They really don't want you actually sniping in this game.

I really miss BF3's stabbing style, the whole fighting mechanic is iffy with the netcode at the moment and the invincibility frames when people are stabbing is annoying.

Siege of Shanghai TDM is pretty funny because absolutely nobody expects you to follow the river out of bounds to get behind them. My squad wiped out half the enemy team doing that.

Ark posted:Anyone losing progression even though there's no server or game crash? I was playing a couple rounds, first one I ticked over to level 13, but as I loaded up the next map it stated I was level 12. I've noticed this quite a few times now. Happens to me all the time unfortunately. It's like Battlelog isn't getting some of the ribbons/unlocks that you report to it correctly.

Reviving has really taken a turn for the worse in this game, the timer is usually way to short for you to do anything but make a 50 foot dash to the dead guy and its really finicky about where you shock him. I don't remember BF3 being this bad, it was more a case of wave your defibs in his general direction and shock.

The absolute worst thing is when you spawn on a squad member directly into people shooting him or to somebody knifing the whole bunch of you. I can understand wanting to have squad members be able to jump into vehicles under fire but it's a bit absurd on foot when you spawn and immediately get mowed down with a rocket to the face.

Jerkface posted:Is the starting sniper rifle a real piece of poo poo compared to the unlocks? I think I've heard this, but it seems fairly inaccurate for a sniper. Sniping with it compared to any of the BF3 snipers has been a challenge. You really need a better sight than the default one. I find I'm missing headshots by a good 6 inches unless I use a higher powered one.

It's absolutely hilarious in TDM when you completely lock off the upper ground. Set a beacon, and laugh as your squad snipes the utter poo poo out of the enemy team. Even when the squad I was leading didn't get a lot of kills it still worked out because it drew the entire enemy team into a countersnipe match.

I've been using the MP443 as my sidearm and it is a beast. I don't think it does much more damage than the other 9x19mm pistols but it does the job for me.

Liberatore posted:Different coders. AA is coded primarily by one guy who's notoriously good at what he does, and has been around for years. Aimjunkies shuffle coders around a lot and in many cases, individual games have individual coders. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. But regardless, the website hasn't had a good track record, particularly with new releases. DC is just a matter of sheer incompetence. Yeah, Helios (the guy who codes for AA) has been around for a decade if not more. I remember having to deal with his hacks when I was running a UT2004 server way back in late 04/early 05.

wuat posted:The only thing the criminal justice system cares about is intellectual thievery because of how archaic everything is, an example of this is glider copying WoW into different memory space in order to avoid the anti cheat. The way most hacks work are they're injected into the game, get pointers to objects and poo poo already in the game, and use/abuse them to their benefit. There's not really anything you can sue them for doing, as they aren't stealing your IP they're simply modifying it to their own purposes, which is completely legal, at least for now. Technically it's reverse engineering which is court approved all the way back to the 80s. I think the relevant case involved copy protection for one of Segas consoles.

Tracula posted:Maybe it's just confirmation bias but I feel like a significant amount of my deaths come from snipers who got to their favorite spot and just sit there the entire game, padding the poo poo out of their K/D to increase the size of the e-peen. The great thing about TDM now is that because levels are so closed off and there's ways to block areas off (the roofs on Zavod with hatches, the crane and radio tower on the Arecibo level, the roof on the dam level, the roof on Shanghai)) you can claim the upper ground, set up a beacon, and never be dislodged from it. Two of them can be reached only via long ladder climbs and the other two can be blocked off entirely (closing hatches on Zavod) or halfway (Shanghai you can blow up all the glass, making it impossible to traverse to the other side.) If your team is in any way competent you can have one squad laying down fire from above and these rest of them cleaning up on the ground. The spotting ability alone goes a long way towards helping your team win.

ChronoReverse posted:I'm going to master the Airburst eventually and wreck all the snipers. It won't work because you can hide beacons in areas that can't ever be hit short of a mortar. You can kill the snipers, yeah, but they'll just spawn back up there and mess with your day. Side note, the little motion sensor balls? Awesome tools. I wish you could get more of them because they really help with scouting.

Was BF3 really not that well received for the singleplayer campaign? I played through it and it was about on par with pretty much any COD campaign. BF4's by comparison is a godawful mess.

I have an Asus Xonar and I've been hit by sound looping freezes maybe 2/3 times. The game usually either crashes entirely or hangs during level loads.

afkmacro posted:I don't feel like sperging out and getting the 500 kill dogtags for every weapon like I did in bf3 so can someone who's decent at infantry shenanigans recommend me a best in class AR, LMG, PDW, carbine and shotgun? I've been using the starter weapons so far and they're pretty decent but not really exceptional. I'm too lazy to analyze symthic's data or to play enough rounds with each to unlock the necessary attachments. 416 is one of the best in AR, LSAT is the best (somewhat early) LMG, the P90 is a decent PDW, the AK5C and SG553 are vying for the carbine title and shotguns are sorta eh so that's up in the air.

For sidearms if you're going for the Compact 45 be aware that the 15 round magazine is a typo. The gun holds 11. The .44 magnum is a guaranteed 2 kill gun from any health on any body part. Also, the fact that absolutely no guns seem to have extended mags is a giant pain in the rear end.

Dvsilverwing posted:Personally I think the starting LMG is the best LMG until you get the RPK-12. Best Carbine in my opinion is the AKU-12 or Ace 52 CQB, my favorite AR was the QBZ but everyone else just uses the M416 so I assume it's better. No other weapons classes matter to me so I can't give an opinion on them. The starting LMG is accurate as all hell but has a very small magazine size compared to the other one you get at the start (M249). Most maps you'll need the extra ammo rather than accuracy.
