Also I don't agree. BF3 was a bad game. I'm having a lot more fun with this one, bugs and all.

The maps for the most part are about a billion times better too. I don't think they're quite on BC2's level but besides Rogue Transmission (and really only with no wookie spotter helping me) I don't feel like any of them are run for 10 minutes and immediately die slogs.

edit
For Xboners, I've added or followed or whatever the gently caress it's called all the xbone goons on battlefieldgoons, so if you're lazy just use me as a metatag.

As much as I hate wookies, mortaring isn't that much different and is awesome.

The only time I got countered was a dude that paddled me while I was hiding in a corner near my mortar, can't be angry about that one.

A couple of those close rounds were really loving fun. When this game works (and sometimes when it's hilariously broken) it's so good.

Edit: Apparently if you put a deployable that you can personally control like a SOFLAM in the capture radius of a point you can use it to capture that point remotely.

Step 1: Place SOFLAM inside the capture radius.
Step 2: Leave the area and do whatever.

Need to capture the objective back and your SOFLAM is still up?

Step 3: Find a place to hide real quick
Step 4: Swap to your SOFLAM and go into first person mode on the device.

Congratulations you are now capping the objective remotely.

Holy poo poo, need to try this with the mortar. This could be hilariously broken with 3 or 4 hidden mortars on a point.

The infantry experience in BF4 is better than 3 and it's much harder for one good tanklord/skylord to completely shutdown a map by themselves.

This is true. The only time I seem to get crushed by air is when I'm not partied up and my team is made up of 31 wookies and me.

Maybe I'm an idiot but I can't figure this out, when I browse servers on the battlelog website it only shows them from 360, and it shows my soldier as the 360. I can get my xbone stats, I can see my xbone soldier, I just can't figure out how to browse xbone servers and show my bone soldier as the default.

My Xbone got the update today. I'm not sure if it's just the placebo effect but it feels really good since. The guns feel like they actually hurt people when you shoot them and I didn't have any crashes, also felt like I was playing on a lower ping. Seemed to be less rubber banding too, but maybe I just got lucky with the server. The server browser definitely seemed to work better though.

As an aside: ping numbers would be nice, I know some console games do them. I don't think it's a mind blowing amount of info that console owners wouldn't be able to handle but it'd let me know how far I should be leading target or if I should find a different server

Battlelog shows ping numbers

If you start a boost with like 5 seconds left in a round, it takes barely any time off the boost and gives you full boost for that round.

I'm not really sure about this. I had a 50% boost run out in the middle of the match, and slapped on a 100%.


I looked at my ribbons, and I saw the same ones going at 300 points from the beginning of the match, and I saw the same ones I got later on for 400 points.


I wasn't paying super close attention/recording it but yeah, I'm fairly certain it's per action.

It looks like it shows the actions at the correct rate, but the boost score at the end is what it would be if you had boosted the entire round.

As an aside, do snipers serve much of a purpose in modes outside of TDM? I know when I was doing a lot of Domination, one of the worst things for your chances of winning would be seeing your teammates spawn with sniper rifles. And I've not noticed them making much more impact in Conquest/Obliteration. The recon kit is very solid, but it just seems you're always going to be more useful with something else. Tbh if I didn't hate not having the guns unlocked I wouldn't even worry about trying to get better with sniper rifles.

I could make the case that they do on a few points in Rush. I never will, but I could.

And speaking of missiles: I finally got the chance to check out the Commander Mode after getting my first non-basic Kindle tablet for Christmas. Do you get the cruise missiles only after your team holds the majority of capture points?

It's not just Commander Mode, hit markers seem to be kind of broken in game as well. I'll be running around minding my own business and a couple hit markers will pop up for no reason. It doesn't happen often but it's often enough to notice and rule out any sort of residual explosives I might have planted.

And for all the NAT issues, seriously the easiest (and enterprise-grade best practice) thing to do is give it a static IP and add it to your modem / core router / gateway's DMZ. I could be assed to write a quick guide for this, if you really want.
