So in Obliteration, is the MAA on a ridiculously long respawn timer or does it only appear once and then never again once its killed? I've been wanting to try it out but I never see it respawn.

Naturally Selected posted:Remember to adjust for angle, as well. A rifle zeroed for 200 will hit center if you shoot level. If you're aiming down significantly, it'll hit high. The m40 zeroed at 200, if you shoot from the B elevator building to C rubble, will usually hit closer to the first dot *above* center, even though it's actually ~210m as measured. Likewise, shooting up from C rubble will hit lower due to the same -9.8m/s^2 accel that makes the bullet drop. It's something you have to get a feel for. And never shoot moving targets.

What are your thoughts on the infantry controls vs bf3? They seem a bit more sluggish but intentionally? I don't think I've played long enough to know if this is good or bad? I like movement around objects and not being able to clip into things.

The peeking system and anti-prone clipping is neat but the stupid strafe lurching and increased model collision (team blocking is stickier than ever) doesn't enhance the experience at all and is really bad, especially given that the netcode seems to have all the same client-side bias errors of BF3.

I'm sure that for every time I could blame the the hit detection that I got killed, I've had equal measure of kills where the other guys feels the same. I can't tell you how much better RO2 felt when they moved from a server side hit detection to a client based model, but too little too late for that game...

It always makes me furious when I realize the potential of this game and how it gets curb-stomped by full on player retardation. It really appears that 90% of the player base can't even grasp the concept of the Obliteration game mode. BTW, looking for Eurogoons to squad up with. Origin name is mcbexxx

This may be a hard question to answer and don't get all PC-master-racey on me, but for anyone who played BF3 on both the console and PC: Is there a noticeable difference between the playbases when it come to people playing the objective or are pubbies just pubbies the world over? I ask because although my laptop does run the game (just about) I may be the only person in the world who prefers a controller to a m/kb (except for aiming) and I find playing the game more comfortable to play on my xbox. However, I don't want the PS4 version to be, in 6 months time, 63 people hiding in bushes with sniper rifles and me trying to plant a bomb, while on PC everyone is still trying to play the actual game.

I've been wanting to try it out but I never see it respawn. The vehicle spawns seem to be affected by the skyscraper coming down as well. It could also be that they just spawn in the wrong place, like the boat can do.

Is it just me or does the server-side seem to be responding better? I mean, a week ago, I was not having fun with the strange hit detection that I attributed to latency issues (probably incorrectly), but now, it seems like I'm not getting so many strange issues anymore. My shots seemed to be responding better, especially with automatic fire at longer ranges. It feels different, though I'm not sure if they actually did fixed something or my mind is playing games with me.

I played bf3 on the ps3 And pretty much pubbys are pubbys. With three you kind of had a advantage on console because they had VoIP built in and you could occasionally herd them to ptfo. But now with bf4 the PC mustard race gets that to. If you do switch to console just be the guy who talks and you will do just fine. Most people will either let you lead them or leave your squad.

Well I only actually played BF3 on xbox, so if anything I will be switching from console. Pubbies were OK in that game but there were lots of people not playing the objective. I'm not sure if it was more apparent though because it was only 12v12 so if 4 people decide to snipe it becomes basically COD on BF3 maps. Also you could lock the match down with just one goon squad and lots of the time that I played with goons we would actually swap teams to fight each other so that it was more competitive and not just launching shells 500m into their spawn.

I took the liberty of adding the Eurogoons above as I was just playing some infuriating obliteration games where my squad was of no support whatsoever the 2 times I planted the bomb. And of course half the team were snipers who didn't even attempt to laser paint the helicopter with the bomb in, twice. In other news when I was too tired last night I made this for any Greendale fans, I'm sure someone more artistic could make a better version. I'm ComplicatedShoes (click the picture for profile) if any other Eurogoons want to add.  E Pluribus Anus! It does turn my arms blue though. Is that supposed to happen? If I give it a dark border would that fix it?

BF4 movement feels meatier in the sense of your soldier actually using his body to move around and gain momentum. I like the fact that when you sprint, it actually takes a few seconds before you're at top speed.

Hm, that's new. Today the game started freezing and crashing ("BF4 has stopped working") a lot the instant I got killed, while the static screen effect comes up. Happens every 3-4 deaths and it is really annoying. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I didn't uninstall it then reinstall though, I just downloaded the thing from their website and set it to update for BF4.

It buffers the last 30 seconds (default, looks like it can go up to 90 seconds) in memory then when you hit the record button it writes out that buffer to disk and keeps writing to disk until you stop the recording.

I loved the SG1 patch so I tweaked it a bit to closer match this hopefully accurate patch from here http://www.scifigeeks.com/product_info.php/products_id/40952?osCsid=56b41998c90ffb8d17028ff029a6882e

Does using this method instead of normal recording lower the recording software's impact on the CPU? Because besides videos taking up huge amounts of space my attempts at trying to record stuff were usually hindered by the stress put on my processor.

I prefer PlayClaw (and it also has this function as well). Also, Internet Explorer, if you really want to start making highlight videos, I really recommend getting a second hard drive (2+ TB preferably) and using it solely for that.

No, your CPU still gets hit hard with capturing and encoding the video, memory too (to buffer it). It just saves you from storing and sorting through giant files.

So, uh, about that AK 5C   I don't think I've ever service starred a weapon within less than one hour of getting it. Admittedly half that time I'd been playing domination, but still. I can't wait for release so I can slap a silencer on that or another carbine and go spec-ops style as a recon with wizard balls and C4.
