In my head I just imagine you singing, "turn arooouuund, briiight eyes. Every now and then I fall apaaart" to each of them. But on second thought you'd probably just give them a, "hey, buddy" (the best knifing catchphrase since 3toes pioneered, "gimme yo fruit cup, bitch!").


You guys, where is 3toes?

Perhaps I should patent it. I used to enjoy melee kills in Killzone 3 too: nothing better in that game than a self-revive into a zombie melee kill of the person who walked past your "surely" dead body.

It would be pretty good if it changed the chat channel to just you two for those 3 seconds. I remember one of the splinter cell games let you speak to a knocked out player if you crouched over them and it was always hilarious.

It'd be good if chat channel could be changed on the fly to team mates in the local area/everyone else in the vehicle.

I think Splinter Cell Double Agent was the first to have multiplayer.

Being able to have a separate vehicle chat channel would be a dream. Whenever I'm with a pubby driver I want to warn them about stuff, but I can't. Maybe I'm making it up but didn't BF2 have something like that?

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.

Regular BF2 did not have this feature to my memory. BF2 does have a massive mod (Project Reality) that lets you have positional voice chat.. which does sound awesome and makes me miss playing BF2.

GTA V online does this so you can talk to and hear the person you just murdered, lasts a few seconds and was just great. For distance engagements I could see it being off in BF4 but it definitely needs to be a thing when shanking.

Are the CR assignments broken in this game? I can only unlock things if I get everything in one round. I've done 'get a kill with dmr/shotgun/c4 in one round' several times and it doesn't seem to stick.

Do I have to get the 3 ribbons at the same time? or do I have to get them first and then the dmr/shotgun/c4 part will stick?

It's the latter. As long as you see the gun unlocked in-game, you have it for good regardless of what battlelog says. Sometimes, you'll unlock the weapon but the assignment will still be active afterwards! :dice:

All day I've been getting a "you have lost connection to ea servers" message when I click multiplayer, while everyone else in my party can play just fine. My internet connection is fine, I've restarted the game, restarted the console, AND restarted my router. I have no idea how to fix this and I can never go back to campaign. :ohdear:

How are you restarting the game/console?

I have the beta 'game resume' feature set and when I tell the Xbox to turn off it doesn't reconnect to EA properly. I have to hit Menu/Start on the dash and specifically quit BF4 to reconnect.

To be fair outside of party chat all you'd hear on vehicle chat would be either-

'Tank over there!'
'loving C4!'
Followed by explosion.
'MINE! STOPSTOPSTO-' Also followed by a explosion.

I'm also having issues today (in the UK if that matters), system standby, full start from cold or whatever and it doesn't let me connect to EA servers. Going to try again now for probably the 8-10th time today.

Edit: and it works, connected fine and I haven't done anything different than I tried earlier.

Not sure if this is your problem but if you're using the commander app on a tablet it'll log you out of multiplayer on the console. That was what was happening to me anyway on the PS4 while I was playing with the app while I had the game going.

This game has made me feel old. I played plenty of BF3 last gen, but this game coupled with a new controller leaves confused like I've never played a game before. At least this game awards you for playing the objectives because I'm just fodder at this point.

I feel really stupid for ordering Premium at this point with the game still crashing. But I saw my friends playing a map I didn't have and I want to be battle buddies.

I can't wait until China Rising becomes general release. Then I can run around knifing all the new recons playing with toy planes. :allears: To be fair the only reason I haven't got Premium myself is because I'm aiming to get a PS4 when the usual launch-stranglehold on supply is lifted, and I'm currently playing on 360. :argh:

This isn't a problem unique to BF4, but is annoying as gently caress, especially since a lot of 3rd person not-shooters don't have this issue (obviously things are different when LOS is so important) and one gets used to not getting stuck on a curb. AC4 is sometimes annoying hilarious in the sense that Edward often runs up poo poo you don't want to, but I honestly think I prefer that to the reverse situation.

The amount of times in Battlefield games that I've been revived as the medic reviving me is gunned down is astounding. Doubly so given how I spam the spot button on every single enemy I come across. If the fucker is spotted, you know he's there, just loving kill him before you revive me, rear end in a top hat, you have no excuse.

Yeah, playing as a medic is way less useful it seems than in past games. I keep trying to be something other than engineer but I can't do it because I know I'm costing my team when I do it.

Protip: if you're like me and keep mashing the right stick too hard while trying to shoot somebody and end up swinging your knife in the middle of a shootout, there's an option to swap knife and crouch. It works extra well, because you can crouch and prone without having to move your thumb away from the right stick.

There's some weirdness when it comes to some non-infantry things, like when piloting a MAV the descend button is now depressing the right stick, but overall it works a lot better.

It's less about that and more about those situations where you don't even have enough time to refuse a revive and the enemy kills you again before the prompt even appears. Sure it doesn't affect your stats, but it give him free points, and gently caress that guy, he already got points for killing you once :argh:
