Beelzebozo posted:Yes, there is one. The reward for it is the enemy Commander is heavily incented to mark you as an HVT which permaspots you for the entire enemy team until one of them hunts you down for the sweet point bonus. It's the best killstreak. OP doesn't care about PC people apparently.

Beelzebozo posted:This is the console thread. Link to PC thread at top of OP. It's good to know someone loves me. By the by, everyone should endeavor to unlock the MTAR. I found Operation Locker Conquest Large is the best place because the game lasts forever and you get plenty of opportunity to get: 1 LMG kill 1 Assault Rifle Kill 1 Grenade kill 1 Sniper rifle kill You get rewarded with a 30 round carbine that is just a really stable bullet hose that is quickly becoming my favorite all class weapon. Feenix posted:Anyone getting kind of an unusual amount of graphical issues? Im getting weird textures flickering a lot on the terrain (near and far) on Lancang Dam. I've been seeing some interesting GIFs of BF4 where stuff isn't loading or objects like bushes and other plants are popping into reality at like ten paces. The example that stuck with me was from the PS4, but it apparently happens on the PC and Xbox as well. Also, you can throw C4 in the water. Totally got a kill on an attack boat and then one of the gunners doing that yesterday. Lazyfire fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Dec 2, 2013 |

Pleads posted:"SHOOT THE loving VEHICLE" when I go recon and spend the round lazer marking all the vehicles which keep killing our idiot foot soldiers. Actually, my least favorite thing as a tank commander is when I have an engineer in with me who refuses to get out of the gunner seat and repair me between fights or do what every other gunner in the world does and fire an RPG at the other tank to win the fight.

So you guys will like this one: If you try to map your jet or helicopter controls to a Xbox360 controller on the PC you basically can't map anything to the left trigger if you want to do any sort of flight controls with the right stick. For some reason the game stealth binds free look to the left trigger as well as the Up arrow on the D-Pad. Even if you completely unbind free look it still happens. I just wanted to replicate my BF3 flying layout, goddamnit. Also, totally got hate chat because I nailed a mobile AA for a kill by angling my tank shot just right so that it cleared a hill and then dropped on the thing as it tried to get away from me. Guy spammed the chat saying I was hacking.

You should be able to to go team setup and there should be a "create new squad" option.

Beelzebozo posted:Wait, so you're telling me that Someguy is actually a representative sample? The opinions on the game are basically this: Infantry players: Hooray, we are no longer at the mercy of invincible sky gods any time there is a helicopter on the map! Jet pilots Helicopters have a hard time shooting us down now, but the maps are pretty small and damage is low. I can kill stuff, but it is more difficult. Tank/armor drivers: I'm still one of the most important and powerful things in the game, but I need to be more cautious and have a gunner to keep people from hitting me with 50 LAWs at once. Helicopter Pilots: FUUUUCCCCKKIIIINGG DICE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO 50-2 IF PEOPLE HAVE LOCK ON WEAPONS!? It's not just Someguy, a lot of people are complaining about helis being poorly balanced or not strong enough. That hasn't stopped them from killing me on the regular so maybe they should get on the level of the guys shooting me.

Dan Didio posted:So, according to the game itself, I have fulfilled the requirements to unlock the M249. However, on my Battlelog webpage (which is loving crazy that you have to do that to sort your loadouts outside of a game, by the way) I don't have access to it. Any idea how to fix this? This really should be in the OP after the PC thread had this pop up every three posts: Battlelog doesn't always update unlocked weapons immediately, if you go into multiplayer and change a loadout you should see it there. Just go into the test range and do it if you have to.

Let me repeat that: Microsoft said that you could stream to Twitch, but didn't include the hardware to send out video in the format used by the site. I really hope someone got fired for that one.

Skater h8er posted:Going after that phantom prospect assignment I've come to love using the hmg on tanks it's the only thing I'm accurate with and can reliably use I really suck with vehicles HMG is really the best option if you are a tank because about 70% of the time no one wants to gun for you, even in full 64 player servers and you are basically helpless versus infantry without a machine gun of some kind on the tank. Luckily for everyone, vehicles are now pretty common, they can be found at nearly every point and at least transport only vehicles like ATV/Dirtbikes and jeeps are on a near constant respawn. It also means even more jihad C4 kills. I no joke like this game better for jihad kills than I do BF3, the lack of motion sensors on tanks and other armor now means I usually get closer to stuff before I get detected and the change to reactive means three C4 may be all you ever need to kill something.

I'm finally on a decent internet connection again but it seems like most of the people I recognize from the 360 bro servers have moved on to the next gen. Is BF4 worth getting for a current console? After playing it on the PC and knowing that the next gen consoles (aside from the preponderance of lock on weapons) are close in play and general smoothness I would say hold off and get it for next gen so you get all the features and playercount stuff that makes the game fun.

Dan Didio posted:Is it really that bad for some people? I've had about three crashes total and those were before the slew of patches. I had no idea there were still so many issues. Christ, DICE really cocked this one up. There seems to be this huge disparity between players on all platforms. I hear about people encountering insane netcode issues, crashes before the map loads, visual glitches and so on all the time no matter what system people are on. I thought consoles were supposed to make the experience more uniform, so I can understand the variety of problems people on the PC experience and others don't, but I'll never understand the Xbone/PS4 problems.
