Naturally Selected posted:Played a round where the tower stayed up for about 75% of the duration nad goddamn, the map is pretty. I seriously hope that "cover everything in dust" doesn't happen on every map and that poo poo is a little harder to pull off than the shanghai tower. From what DICE has shown, it doesn't appear any of the level changes will be hard to pull off. In Paracel Storm the thing you have to destroy is a wind turbine off in the distance that the destroyer is stuck on. The multiplayer videos I've seen show players destroying the turbine with bullets. I suppose that could be have been an oversight for the convention build though. The other one in what I presume to be "Flood Zone" is a portion of the wall you have to put a few explosives into. But those don't throw up dust clouds at least, and the destroyer in Paracel Storm doesn't even appear to be that special, it'll be the storm events in that map which make it pretty.

Had a great couple of rounds sniper dueling a random pubbie, unlocking the M40something, and then when I rejoined the server later and he was on my team, I taught him how to use the PLO and zero his rifle for long-distance accuracy. He landed a headshot on a target he'd already missed 10 rounds on and was as amazed as I was when I discovered the One Weird Tip for sniping.

It's weird, because I kind of hope zeroing makes snipers a LITTLE better. In this and BF3, I have absolutely no fear of snipers and never even have to think about them. I certainly don't want more people to play as them or for them to become a super serious threat, but it'd help ~my verisimilitude~ to have to think about my longer angles at least a little bit.

Chortles posted:Unfortunately not being terribad and/or playing for hours on end is needed to experience and unlock/progress... so I've barely unlocked anything beyond what you've seen (Defib and M26 MASS). That being said, the beta ends on monday, so there's not a lot of time left - and it's not like it matters anyway.

Olive Branch posted:Man, I really hope the crash-to-desktop bugs when getting shot and killed due to fuzzy screens don't make it to the final product. I had an excellent one-on-three sniper battle and tagged three clan pubbies with headshots of my rifle, and wanted the experience on my Battlelog to unlock the other rifle. But then, got killed and game froze. Updating Punkbuster as recommended earlier fixed the crashes on death for me. Download the pbsetup from evenbalance.com, add BF4, hit update, enjoy. Edit: Whoops, didn't fix it completely, it happened again. mcbexx fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Oct 13, 2013 |

Battlelog being weird for anyone this morning? It started off telling me only like three servers existed in North America and then after a few parameter changes showed a near infinite number. I got to fly a heli today and rack up some kills, I'm finding I just really need to get used to the keyboard because I slammed into things I never would have using a controller.

Proof that sometimes pubbies can work together, and why you should play Domination. Bit anticlimactic, but it was completely random and we were not on voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH181dXHF7M

I have my mouse set to max sensitivity, which is... I think something like 3600 DPS. Very, very high. I can try turning it down and trying to be more methodical in play.

It's got a DPS selector switch. Is there any particular reason other than convenience to do it one way or the other?

John Magnum posted:It's got a DPS selector switch. Is there any particular reason other than convenience to do it one way or the other? Lowering your DPS will reduce your mouses resolution while making your dude in game take more mouse movement to look around. Lowering the ingame sensitivity will generally keep the resolution (it's not that simple, but kind of), but make it take more movement to look around. The pro opinion on mouse sensitivity is that your sensitivity should be low enough that you're using you're whole arm/wrist to aim and never making fine adjustments with your fingers etc.

Just noticed I've been saying DPS this entire time and not DPI. But your description doesn't make them seem different, because the takeaway is "it takes more movement to look around".

But your description doesn't make them seem different, because the takeaway is "it takes more movement to look around". Yeah it is DPI. Most people use the DPI switcher on there mouse to get different sensitivities in game for different reasons. You could say, have super low sensitivity for running around and shooting, but then when you hop in a helicopter you switch to super high DPI so you can fly better etc.

So far I think I like domination better. I really wish I had gotten the chance to play CTF in a previous BF game that wasn't on an awful BF3 map. Domination is the only time I've ever been picked up on the ground by a pubbie chopper pilot.Cardboard Box A posted:

If you meet another tank on the bridge at C just engage ramming mode and push them over the rails. Worked pretty good yesterday, I pushed it over to the stairs, they bailed and my goon gunner jumped out and stole it!

The kicker was that the tank wasn't even close to falling into the water, and could have driven back up the stairs to continue the fight. Instead we got both tanks to lock down the streets with.
