Nope. You don't get points or a kill for killing someone before they accept a revive, just a damage tick to let you know you hit something.

Every time I reventilate someone's dome after they get revived I've received another 100 points

Like 98% of the time I do as well but the other day I got a damage tick and the revived guy just flopped back dead. I assumed after that my points were coming from people spamming accept like I usually do.

Sure but I still get to roll the :dice: and hope it doesn't break the game and force me to restart!

I mean even Killzone has figured this poo poo out. (a triangle prompt shows up, hit triangle at the death screen or spawn screen and you revive, doesn't interrupt your loadout changes, and doesn't break the game)

It's also Battlefield, so I'm not convinced that the game just didn't give you points because :dice:. I never once didn't get points for killing someone at the near exact same time that they were revived in BF3, and don't even get me started on how many times I didn't get repair points/revive points/resupply points/heal points in BF3 and BC2. Or they might have changed it from BF3 to BF4.

Its only if they had accepted, I've noticed the difference. And most pubs mash A so they accept seemingly instantly.

One day I was getting 400pt flashes for sage blowing up Mcoms. It was great, he got pissed I was stealing his points but I explained that I was just delegating like a real leader.

Just kinda want to rant a little bit.
I wish there were 24/7 servers on the PS4 because, in all the time I've been playing, I've only played Paracel Storm twice and I actually enjoy Operation Locker for unlocking gun attachments but I can't ever play these maps because they just don't come up in the rotation that often. I can sort the servers by map and pick one but I can't tell how long into the game it is so I don't know if there's 40 minutes left or 30 seconds left.

I also wish the MTAR showed up under your progression page. I don't know how far along I am in its attachments and that's annoying.

And most annoying of all, I seem to have some weird sound issue where background noise cuts out and all i can hear are my soldiers footsteps or explosions really loud.

That's it for now. Otherwise I really love this game.

I use the server browser in a web browser to join games on the PS4 as it seems to show a lot more games, so try a PC or iPad or whatever, it works better for some reason. Also, the games always rotate in the same order, so if you want to play operation locker, join an existing Golmud Railway map and play it out and stay for the next game.

I was reading that you're able to knife and counter while swimming. Have you tried that out yet?

It was 50 when I got it in BF3, kid. And I have a few nautical hugs. I hope for BF5 to let me steal boats by stabbing the dudes out. Ulti claims to have been stabbed out of a scout heli once.

As mentioned, its because they accepted the revive. If they are just looking at the option to revive and you put them down again, you get no points and obvious they are forced to respawn normally.

What map do people dislike the most? I'm not a fan of Siege of Shanghai. Operation locker would be more fun but it crashes every time at some point and I'll wait until they fix that and for someone to make a 24/7 locker server.

Shanghai is just a giant upside down U and I see as many stalemates on this map as I do in locker.

That bottom half of the U is completely impenetrable to boats, jetskis, transport helicopters, attack helicopters, spawn beacons or swimming, amirite.

If you're getting stalemated on Shanghai you need to stop running at the meatgrinder at the skyscraper.

Operation locker playing Obliteration is some of the most fun I've had in this game. Non stop action and explosions. I was in a pubbie squad the other night that actually worked well together (wierd I know). It was nice to have nonstop ammo and health. The guy who played recon was even smart enough to put a spawn beacon in a pretty good location so we could get back to the fight quickly. Our teams kept trading objectives. We fought over the last one for a long time until we finally lost. I scored my medical medal during that fight. Too much fun.

I'm pretty sure it has caused BF4 PTSD!

There's China Rising specific servers, if you select the maps in the filters on the server browser, they should show up.

I don't think there's any vanilla+cr servers around yet, so you're stuck with the four-map rotation.

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.

Thank you. I always feel like the biggest loving idiot when I swing my knife in a gun fight.

The server browser on battlelog actually works for the console versions too. As long as you're logged in on the console, you can join via the browser and it will automatically put you into a game on the console.

Meh. Just not a fan of meat grinders, and I like my infantry combat in BF on open maps with everything in em', with big, open spaces, actual sight lines and large engagement zones. Plus aesthetically, the map is awful. Too bright on the outside, too dark on the inside, and who wants to run around some drab, prison labyrinth for 60 minutes? It's right up there with lock-on weapons for 'things that shouldn't belong in a BF game' imo.

This is the best way to find a server for a group. There's a 10+ open slot filter so you can usually find a midpop server easily.

Nah, they are a terrible crutch and ruin that aspect of the game (more so then Dice has already done by making helicopters unredeemable poo poo in every other way). But honestly, don't get me started on this, as posters of the previous BF3 thread will attest. I'm already *literally shaking*

This is why lock on weapons are the best in the game.
