So whatever that annoying island map is, on Rush you can swim to the enemy carrier and steal their awesome boat. It makes defending a *lot* more fun. Hell, you could probably drop a beacon back there. It lets you run across the whole carrier.

Ularg posted:No. It does not take a lot of skill to fly a helicopter well. Really, and I've put an hilarious amount of time in flying Helicopters. You learn not to faceplant as soon as you lift off and then you learn how to aim. You then go to use tricks that every single player that spends 2 matches in a helicopter will learn to do. Like faking flares. If you think the above encompasses flying "well" then you're not a good pilot.

Lumpy posted:I'm with you Captain Log. I can't kill a loving thing in this game.* I fire three bursts, get a ton of hit indicators, and the guy whirls around and drops me, and I see he still has 40% health on the kill-cam. Maybe it's just me, but this kind of frustration is normal in a new FPS. Think about it, you don't know the maps. This means you don't know the many, many "run/drive/fly across here and you probably will be killed" spots on each map. You don't have a good sense of where the control points are in relation to each other. For me the maps are still a complete mystery. Add to that, learning brand new shooting mechanics. The PP2000 isn't the same as it was in BF3, but you're still used to it only taking a 7 round burst to kill a guy. You don't know what guns suck and which ones are best for your play style. Basically, thinking back I can remember being frustrated with every new FPS I've played. Eventually (60-70 hours in) I get better and the frustration goes away.

There really is no point to flying helicopters right now. The moment you leave base you've already got 3-4 people firing missiles at you. And what the hell is with the overheating on the little bird guns? You can't even destroy a RHIB boat without overheating. Nick hurry up and get an xbone. Rolling in armored columns is a blast.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:How are goons communicating on Xbone? I heard party chat was kind of hosed at first, are people talking in-game or are parties working now? Is it still possible to jump into friends' Live parties like you could on the 360? It works, it's just awkwardly set up. By default, party chat is off, so when you join a party you have to turn chat on to be heard/hear others. I guess they didn't have time for a lot of UI testing. On the plus side, party chat is really high quality, even compared to the 360 which did party chat really well. If you're just in a party with one other person, it sounds like you're listening to NPR when they talk.

Lowtax posted:Is anybody here capable of playing more than one consecutive multiplayer game without the screen going black and locking up? It does this after every single match for me. I'm also Xbone, when I can actually get into a match, there are no crashes and every map change goes smoothly. However actually getting into a game is a crapshoot. If I press Join it will: 1. Do absolutely nothing and give me no feedback that I pressed a button; OR 2. Briefly dim the screen like it's about to try to join, before going back to the menu with no feedback that I pressed a button; OR 3. Put me in queue, then kick me back to menu with no error message or feedback that I pressed a button; OR 4. Tell me the game is not available or I have no connection to EA Online. Eventually I've been able to join up and play even with every combination of the above, it just takes me cussing a lot and constantly trying over and over to rejoin.  In other news, my old lady is out of town tonight and I'm tired of GTA V, so lets play BF4.

End of game K/D score for him: 85-2 Get the SRAW. Practice for an hour on Training Ground. Destroy chopper gods with impunity.

GramCracker posted:Xbone guys - How is the step up from 24 players on 360 to having 64 player mayhem? It's a *lot* harder to be an unkillable solo badass. In BF3/BC2, I could easily take points by myself. Everyone was spread over the map so at most you'd have to kill 3-4 people at a time. Now if I'm trying to defend/attack by myself, I often run into groups of 6-8 people. Tanking? 32 people on the other team means at least 4-5 guys with SMAW/RPG/JAVs will be taking shots at you at the same time. It's a lot more unforgiving if you don't work well with your team. My playstyle was frequently "f you all, I'm going my own way", which worked well on 24 player maps. Now it just gets me killed a lot.

Personally as someone who spends 9 hours a day in front of a computer at work, the thought of going home to play video games on yet another computer was a turn off. I'd rather chill on my couch with the Xbros. The game is wayyyyyyy prettier on PC though.
