Multiplayer is fantastic. Motherfucking killed an attack helicopter with the train.

Tried the campaign, which was pretty cool till it started bugging the gently caress out. 2 crashes and my loving favorite, this:

lovely phone pick, but that right there is me after I fell through the floor and under the map. Where it check pointed me. Haven't felt that big of a gently caress you since the endless looping intro in BF3.

I haven't played this game yet but what's wrong with this? Burst fire modes are woefully underused in video games general as it is.

BF3* was the game that taught me select fire is actually a really good idea. I don't really see the issue?

Just had a match on Paracel. Probably one of my favorite maps I've played so far. Hopped aboard a murder boat and had a loving blast. We were killing helo's, boats, mans, and we were capturing objectives like it was no thing (also I machine gun'd all the bridges apart). When the storm hit everyone in the boat switched to OHSHI- mode and we started battle ramping waves, a few times going under water.
The Battle Boat stayed afloat for 10 minutes :911:. I must have leveled the drat thing up 5 times.

Yeah boats do look fun but I've enver tried them.

Jetskiing during the storm is a big pain in the arse though. It turns far too sharply for the slightest press of A/D!

A-loving-greed. When the boat finally got sunk I deployed to the jet ski. Which took my key presses as me sledgehammering my keyboard. Once I got it under control it spent the remainder of the match ramping waves next to exploding things.

I never really played the COD/BF games until recently so I'm crap at the mechanics but I love BF4! I've been engineer and scout because I'm not as great with figuring out targeted shots as well as all the well-hid enemy snipers.

Engineer: get in a heli and repair all loving day and then shoot anyone you see with rockets. Alternately sneak up on tanks and do this. I've killed a lot of tanks who should really have seen me this way.

Recon: press Q and drop C4 on vehicles, use your pistol a lot. One round all I did was press Q and I got so many loving points.

That's one of things I really like that got changed. You can score hella points by just assisting and being a good teammate. I remember seeing the 'Squad Mate Kill counts as Kill' assist with 110 points, that was great.
It's just like "Hey you tried your hardest to kill that guy but your bro got him first, but gently caress it dude you get the points too."

Binding free look to right click changes the mechanic? Right now I have it bound to middle mouse button, and that freezes all my controls except yawing, just like in BF3. Is it really that simple?

E; I'm stuck at work, or I'd check it myself, but that sounds pretty weird to me!

I mayyy have misunderstood your question. Do you mean the ability to look around your cockpit? If so then it should be defaulted to right mouse button. It's odd that remapping it would mess up the rest of your keys, I was thinking about mapping my free look to left alt.

Let me guess... You were in the Russian side?

Edit: My best experience in Operation Locker was when we needed to blow up the last point, and there were around 12 enemies covering the bomb carrier out in the snow. I ran up the stairs in the middle of the map, quickly shot the carrier in the back, grabbed the bomb, ran back, jumped down and made it to like 10 meters away from the point before an enemy shot me. A teammate took the bomb and planted it. I think this is the closest I will ever be to playing American Football in a video game.


Those things are unrelated. The sound loops because the game freezes.

A bunch of people have posted fixes for your problem, though. Have you tried any of them? I suggest going to the official tech support forum if you haven't.

Yes. And that's basically how it ended. That and everyone was so loving through with the match. Basically some guy got the bomb to the last station, died. I ran in and grabbed it and planted it while the whole room was just loving exploding as 40 dudes were making mince meat out of each other. When that game over screen popped up I nearly fell to my knees.

Me and my friends used to do things like not talk to each other out of shock if something too ridiculous happened in 3. Shot a dude out of his jeep with a RPG without blowing up the jeep, no one talked for 5 minutes. Close lined a sniper with my jet, friend took my controller from me. Friend got sniped out of a helicopter and we silently turned the XBOX off.

So on the topic of all the hack talk.

I was playing last night and every 2-5 minutes the server would announce :"Shittyplayer1234" banned for GameHack" or some such.

Either the server was a hot bed for hackers, or the system is really cracking down.

I for one am glad to see this, as games like War Z were swarmed with hackers, and we all know how that finished up.


On the other side of the conversation, why is it these super great hack programmers are able to create, market, and sell their product in the open. Do the game companies simply allow it "because"?

It can't be that hard to track the guys down for charge them with a whole slew of offenses, considering they are receiving payment for a product (paypal?)

Don't know bout the last part, but I was playing Thunder Dome (server) and their anti cheat was banning fools like it was going out of style.

None of the bugs have been fun killers, just minor to major annoyances. At its core this is a REALLY loving fun game, clouded by some annoying as hell issues which happen at random.

Once they actually fix server crashes and these it loving clear that leveling up from ribbons and post game stuff doesn't actually level you up for whatever reason then it'll be better, that and the net code.

Obliteration is the best, forget about playing any other game modes. Conquest is so boring and Rush is so pointless after playing Obliteration. It's also the game mode that rewards teamwork the best.

They're all pretty awful except the last one because of bullet drop. For the SRR-61 you set the zero to 200m and can headshot anyone up to 300m by pointing at their face which is a lot easier than having to adjust or aim above. I used the M40A5 to grind to it because it had all the unlocks I needed pretty soon. I feel that ACOG 4x has the best balance for most maps, over 300 meters it gets a bit difficult but I still get plenty of marksman ribbons this way (only 5 more to the terrible unlock).

Some maps don't really lend themselves to sniping though. It's mostly Hainan Resort, Rogue Transmission and Lancam Dam where you can stay near objectives and don't lose out at midrange constantly. Or be a hill wookie and battle it out with the other hill wookies on the other side of the map. That said it's good to know what the stationary sniping spots are because they are so easy to nail.

If you're gonna hill wookie you better watch your back because I go up there to grab dog tags wholesale. You should also be prepared for the shame that'll bring to your family, Baka.
