DarkJC posted:No they should definitely take the time to create 100% original assets exclusively for the singleplayer mode that barely anyone touches and pretty much everyone bitches about. Yeah cause every time they could do a great campaign like Bad Company and every time they don't. Ugh it was so good and ever since then it's just been stupid poo poo.

The Duggler posted:It is far far worse. No memorable scenes, waves and wave of enemies coupled with a stupid "okay squad you can shoot stuff now" mechanic that means you are with 3-4 people throughout the game and you're killing absolutely everyone on your own. Add to that the amount of standing around and waiting you'll have to do for your NPCs to catch up and it's just really awful and unenjoyable. Yes the worst thing about it is just how utterly forgettable the whole thing is. No fight is important and you can basically just around doing whatever the gently caress while the scripts go on all around. I got bored over halfway through the first mission because I could just walk upto everyone and melee kill them. This was on hard mind you no one ever bothered to shoot me enough to stop me and you regenerate so fast it's never an issue. loving Wolverine would be jealous of this guy's regenerating. On a positive note though the multiplayer is rad and having a good emblem is absolutely key to doing well. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/randalbattalis/stats/222491076/pc/ randombattle fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Oct 30, 2013 |

fivegears4reverse posted:Both campaigns completely fail to sell the idea of "Battlefield". That said, I liked it, but I'm not necessarily a good person to listen to on this. I'm that guy who unironically likes the CoD campaigns while understanding that they are highly scripted roller coasters with writing that can't even come close to the cheapest and trashiest airport fiction out there. That's what made Bad Company so good it was just a group of likable characters trying steal a gently caress ton of motherfucking gold from the middle of a war against the bad guy from Commando. It was so ridiculous and full of poo poo exploding 24/7 that it couldn't be anything but great.

Ularg posted:I've seen a countless number of other jets on my minimap able to just spin in the same spot as I'm trying to get behind them. There is absolutely no way to break a circle fight and once you try to break off he instantly kills you. Try to break off then reengage goes back into a circle fight but he gets a chance to disable you. You have two options in a furball like that. If you slow down a bit you will have a tighter turn. Slowdown too much and you will turn too slow though. There's a point for the two jets where you have the best ratio and if you do that you can usually catch the other guy since few people slow down. Alternatively if you punch it to 11 you will be circling faster and can sometimes catch him. Whatever the enemy is doing do the opposite. If he's hitting the afterburner slow down and whip around. In most dogfights people just hold a turn as tight as possible. Take advantage of where the enemy is going to be and don't forget you move in 3d. Don't forgot you just need to get behind him so don't just make straight rings to try to catch him. Use loops and immelmanns to take advantage of a 3d turn.

Meowbot posted:I've heard this game has a really short campaign, how short are we talking exactly? Is it worth buying the game for the campaign alone? I don't like playing anything multiplayer unless it is Rocket Arena for Quake 3 and 10 years ago. Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you don't want to play multiplayer don't buy bf4. The campaign is utter garbage. I'm talking full on bug riddled poo poo test with terrible writing that's boring. Don't do it.

Ho Chi Minh Holiday Inn posted:For real, if you aren't familiar with Battlefield and/or aren't interested in playing the multiplayer please, for the love of God, don't buy the game. The Single Player mode is abominable. The only reason that I bought it is because Battlefield's heritage is as a multiplayer game and that aspect has been really rather good for like 8 or so years. The multiplayer is real good though so there is that.

Unicom posted:The stealth jets are completely useless compared to the attack jets. There's not one situation where the stealth jets are better, since the 30mm cannon on the attack jet is just so good. You can unlock a 30mm cannon for the stealth jets too but I don't know if they are as good. I totally agree though the increase in speed and agility is not worth the fire power and durability loss between the two.

Hmm so the Warthog has landing gear and is capable of landing if you get past the speed cap but if you get out the plane immediately explodes. Also more surprisingly if you slow down by stalling in the F-35 it will still automatically switch to VTOL mode but the flight model won't change and you'll just drift backwards until falling out of the sky or speeding up out of it. You probably could switch to VTOL if you could somehow slow down enough but they lowered the break speed for all the jets so they don't deploy landing gear/go VTOL. I wonder why they got rid of the VTOL mode since it's clearly still in.

VodeAndreas posted:Any tips for taking down jets with the MAA's active radar missiles? Fire one missile to make them pop their flares or whatever. If it's just flares then reload and fire two missiles to bring them down. If it's a jammer you will have to wait for it to cool down. Just always be shooting your cannons and fire off the missiles as often as you have a lock and you will usually end up dealing enough to make them crash.

Gropiemon posted:Yeah it really shines when there's 2-3 dudes shooting simultaneously. You can one shot a chopper with it and I did 80 damage once to a tank but I'm not sure what happened. Get that RPG yo, murder armor. You can do more damage if you manage to hit the side or back before the rocket can curve up. The problem is that the enemy like has to drive at mach speed backwards and the sun must be in perfect alignment. I don't know why tanks have super mega armor on the top now. It's so loving strange.

The problem is they greatly reduced the points you get for reviving even if you charge it all the way for the revive. So now not only is it harder to revive people to full but everyone has that cooldown and you get way less points. Not to mention you can just respawn right in the fight on a squad mate. It just doesn't seem as useful as it has been. May as well just take a grenade launcher with the med pack.

Stefan Prodan posted:I got this and holy poo poo I'm SO bad at it. Are there any good general guides out there, video or text? I don't see any in the OP or first page. Get shotguns asap. The first unlocked shotgun, the 870, is the best shotgun in the game and you can one shot like anyone in close quarters combat.

WastedJoker posted:how much combat takes place CQC though? I'm almost never fighting at long ranges. The shotguns still work just fine at medium range though it takes an extra shot or two. I dunno I find it easier to just circle around to approach people. You're plenty fast enough to close the distance as long as you aren't running straight at a machine gunner.

WastedJoker posted:I might give it a go. I do like shotty play but it doesn't feel like it suits my style on these maps. I've only unlocked the QBU(?) so will give it a go. I wasn't sold on shotguns at first but man that feeling when you walk into a room and fire one shot to kill a dude spraying all over trying to kill you is just so good. The sheer feeling of power that shotgun has in close range is incredible.

Hungry Bit posted:Are shotguns terrible in this game or do I just have horrible aim? You hardly even need to aim a shotgun. Just point at man and shoot. Man dies. Counter knifes is pretty cool but I wish you could counter the counter back and forth so the first one to gently caress it up dies.

Doflamingo posted:Is it just me or are shotguns and DMRs completely outclassed? I tried both on Operation Locker and every time I died I just know that using a carbine instead would've saved me. It's really frustrating since I loved using shotties in BF3. Shotguns beat ARs hands down in close quarters. One shot kills are pretty common for me.

Kibayasu posted:The biggest problem maps with the scout helicopter are the ones where the MAA is tied to holding a point (Resort and Paracel which you'll note are also infantry heavy maps with only a few light vehicles). If one team has both the MAA and a two engineer scout chopper on those maps you aren't ever going to kill that chopper without a lucky-ish AT rocket shot, a jet ramming it, the pilot losing control after a missile hit, or a literal teamwide/mapwide gauntlet of Stingers/IGLA's. Paracel isn't so bad because taking B is fairly simple and the MAA usually hangs around there any way so its easier to kill. But taking C in Resort is a motherfucker against an entrenched team with all their armor there, being supported by a nigh-unkillable helicopter, unless your team has its act together. I think a much bigger problem with the maps is people's tendencies to just flock to the rooftops and sit around sniping all day long which leads to non stop rocket/stinger barrages from the sky. They really should give the commanders some always around artillery or something to not only give them something to do (which is a huge problem when being the commander, even when people follow your orders and you are winning theres not much to do but click a button every couple of seconds with no real care) but some artillery would discourage people from just sitting around in AA trucks and on roof tops. I played a round on some random 70p server on the downtown map with the exploding pipeline and I swear 80% of both teams were on different rooftops just trying to be bad rear end snipers.

Lord Yod posted:What the christ was Dice thinking when they made all the rockets do ~25 damage to a tank? What the gently caress is the point of even packing a rocket launcher when you need to buddy up with 5 other engineers in order to be effective? Tanks take directional damage. Upto I think 50 in one rocket from the rear. Glancing hits deal less damage as well. So for the best shot use a rocket to the back of a tank dead on. Except for the starting rocket launcher which always hits above for 21 damage. APCs don't take directional damage but take way more damage so it's not a big deal as long as you can hit them.
