It can never be too cold.
According to the stats on the Battlelog, each guns have a set of attachment that you will unlock after a set number of kills. After those specific attachment are unlocked, you will get a battlepack with random parts and boost after each group of 50 kills until everything else is unlocked.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

What most one do to get a weapon pack? I've run an Ak5C most of my 26 levels and never gotten one.

You get one weapon battle pack every fifty kills after 190... So 240, 290, etc.

Some great games tonight with nuclear cheetos, kloaked, wahnfrieden, hamburglur, phentyn, and robotisize.

China Rising is pretty great and surprisingly does not crash nearly as much as stock BF4. I think of the 10 something hours we were playing today only 1 crash happened during a CR session.

Also playing with a decent sized party has made it painfully clear how lovely it is trying to get a group together into one game.

I swear there was a way to invite everyone to a party in battlelog then drag them into the game on PS4.

And if there is and I'm missing something, please someone point it out cause loving poo poo. Takes like 30 minutes to get everyone situated, but after that it's all gravy.

Makes all the difference in the world playing with a squad that communicates. We won so many games simply because of the one or two goon squads working together. :cheers:

Also, learn to let go. Anything armored moving in means you are spotting the vehicle and then moving out, nothing in your tool box does more than scratching their paint and your useful tools, like smoke, requires brains and coordination. Pubby engies won't bother with your medkits anyway and once the vehicule is down you can always come back to try to heal them (good luck with that).

Use v40 grenade, bring ammo pack to refill them = you clear out anyone standing in your way being near and defending an objective in right quick order on that map.

Find your favorite gun. I like the MG4. Random battlepacks would only give me FLIR for shotguns or snipers.

Play on locker. Get kills. Every 50 kills over 190 gives you a battlepack with three items for that specific weapon. You'll get lucky and get it on the first one like I did or you'll unlock everything for it and get it anyways.

I don't know if the IRNV sees through smoke too, I'm really hoping it does because a 1x scope would be better for infantry maps. FLIR is a 2x scope so it's still very usable in close up.

I can't seem to find a Lmg I like. I think I like the rpk74, but I always lose firefights. I want to love the 240B because well it's awesome in real life, but even though it does damage, I don't hit anything and again lose firefights. I am using controlled bursts and stuff. I got the mg4 unlocked. Is the saw good enough to blow through the campaign for?

LMGs aren't run n gun. They're very much dependent upon aiming down sight, and if you can find one you like, they're some of the best weapons in the game.

The last LMG you unlock is the MG4 which is an even better M249, it's recoil is super manageable. You're going to lose up close, so you have to play to the gun's strengths. LMGs are for more strategic play I suppose, you will win almost all mid range engagements thanks to the suppression.

That's why I don't even bother with rush in bf4. It uses to be my favorite mode but the maps don't seem to be designed for it at all and being an attacker feels like I'm stuck in sniper hell.

Ah, I was wondering how you managed that. Mortaring, should've guessed. That's actually pretty helpful on Rush though, covering the MCOM in a hail of shells. I'm surprised nobody bothered countering you.

You can still pull up the gamercard of a friend in the party and join there. That's at least one small aspect of parties they didn't manage to break.

There's not really a counter to mortaring anymore since you can be miles away from it and instantly deploy another the moment it is destroyed.

Yeah, there's no way anybody is getting a decent wifi signal on a battlefield. Make it so you have to be within a certain radius to connect to the mortar.

Mortars are OP. :qq:

Why can't you use an undeployed mortar as a melee weapon? Just whack somebody with it.

Also C4-ing the destructible walls around those hallway choke points in the circular room when you know there's fuckers on the other side is also good for 3-5 kills at once :getin:

Nary a clue. You're just little ice skating Doritos from the distant serenity of Tac-Ops.

I had a bunch of people at my house watching football and decided that retreating to my den of solitude to join the ground shenanigans was probably over the line. But who knows what I'm doing on that iPad, right?! I'm probably just obsessively refresh camping my fantasy stats or something. Surely I'm not spamming UAVs and treating field upgrades like Pavlovian dog treat rewards for anyone who accepts an order.

That's why I like Rush. It forces everybody at two objectives and unbelievably crazy stuff happens sometimes. Plus you feel like you can really take over a game like in our last round there where we finally stopped playing grabass and shut down those good squads that joined.

Edit your profile on battlelog, and there's a tab that's "soldiers." Make the PS4 one the active one and you'll then go to him by default on all other battlelog pages.
