I always tried to get into Battlefield 3, but the pacing always felt off. And the maps didn't feel feel good. And it just wasn't what I wanted to play. Coming from Battlefield 1942 back in the day, it just felt... too fast? Or something.

Battlefield 4 is awesome. The map that floods, and the Dam map -- holy poo poo. Don't get me wrong, I totally suck (0.5 k/d with pubbies), but it really brings back memories of 1942.

If it weren't for the random crashes, it would be so awesome.
Yeah. Agree with this post. Just started playing this and it's great. My k/d ratio is awful. Really impressed by the sounds of this game. But it keeps crashing. It's driving me nuts.

In my experience it will show up on Battlelog in a little bit if you just wait it out.

I hope after this patch I'm actually able to play siege of Shanghai. I still don't know what that map looks like because it crashes my pc everytime I'm done loading.

I'm really looking forward to playing golmud railway with sound. I spent last weekend grinding tdm and it almost killed me so I'm saying gently caress it and just playing maps I like on conquest.
Same here. There is a lack of sound if there's no one around you. As in.. There is simply no sound at all.

Anybody else disappointed in levolution? It was supposed to be gamechanging, but it's nothing but eyecandy. It's fun to watch a tower collapse, I guess, but it doesn't do much at all.

Just tried playing on 6 different servers and after about 20 seconds in-game it goes to the blinking cursor and client closes. I assumed PB was out of date and ran PBsetup and it did make an update (A1388 to A1390) but the same thing happens after the fact. Battlelog even says "Leaving level" so it seems to be a graceful exit sent from the servers. Since I know PB kicks are listed on the server chat box, anyone willing to hop on KFS and see if that comes up? That or any ideas what the hell I'm seeing?
I just had this happen to me. In my case it happened right after I scored a grenadelauncher-kill. The blinking cursor came up and the client closed. I'm not sure what that means, but the server status did display a number of weapons they 'banned'. It's probably something different, but maybe you got kicked?

Or... Maybe I just crashed. I'm just not sure with this game anymore.

edit: Just read your post again. It's probably not a ban.

Since the patch, every server I play in has atrocious rubber-banding lag. Like every 2 seconds my screen jitters and readjust my position and everyone else's position around me. It's unplayable. I've tried the new slider to both ends of the extremes and I don't notice a difference.

Is this :dice:'s network code fix? I understand people didn't like being magic bulleted through walls, but honestly at least the game felt playable.
Same here now. Everything's jolting and stuttering. Barely playable.

Maybe it's been posted before, so sorry in advance. But what's your favorite sniperrifle? I'm still digging the M40A5 with the straight pull. There are so many stats and so many variables along with al the different attachments, so I no longer know what's 'best'.

I felt the M40 to be good, but lacking straight up bullet speed. That's basically why you want the later rifles. I really liked the M98B for less bullet-drop and more speed, and the SRR61 (end game rifle) is pretty beastly. Haven't used it "that" much since I got it - but it's pretty sexy. Also - the 61 "I think" kills with a chest-shot at close range.
Yeah bullet speed is pretty poor on the M40. Almost makes it feel like I'm slinging a rock with a catapult.

I still don't understand how the sniperscope works.. with those stripes and all. Can someone explain?

You can zero the scope to account for bullet drop over distance:

I know. And I'm doing quite well. I'm just not entirely sure what those stripes do.

Maybe I'm wrong. But I think I wasted a few grenades in the Locker map by having them not explode at all.

I'm surprised that so many people seem to dislike Golmud, while it is pretty much my favourite map right now. You can have a nice bit of varied infantry combat between A, B, and C and the plains around the south are great for nice tank/chopper fights. Plus I just love how completely demolished the northern town looks near the end of an intense match.
For these reasons I'm starting to like Golmud as well. I really really don't like Zavod. Too drat cluttered in the middle. With all those LAV's driving around it's a nightmare for infantry.

getting really sick of the "disappearing" round when I fire from the tank, dead-shot, perfect aim and it literally goes right through it and no explosion, no hit, no nothing.


Please tell me this happens to others because its causing me to lose battles....
I don't drive around in tanks a lot but I've had this happen A LOT with the m203. The grenade is launched from the tube and I can see it hit someone, but it just doesn't do anything.

Isn't there a minimum travel distance before the grenade is "live" though?

No idea about tank shells.
I doubt that's the problem. Those grenaded flew quite a bit and I've hit and killed people up close with the m203 as well. I really think the hit just doesn't register or something.

While it's not as bad as it was, I'm still crashing. Mostly the soundloop-crash, even though DICE said it was fixed.
