Paracel Storm is a terrible map on Rush. As an attacker there's almost no way to gain a foothold on the carrier and get set up. You need to hope you're playing against a mega scrub squad.

There is a 600 meg BF4 patch for the PS4 as of right now. I have no idea what it is supposed to fix.

Yeah, the Battlelog stuff on PC is extremely snappy with its response to what you're doing on the PS4, including using the server browser. Pretty handy.

Latest console updates: -General stability fixes that should remove a large amount of the client crashes we are currently seeing on the PS4 -Fixed the audio drop outs that could occur when playing on large maps. Typical map affected was Golmud Railway in Conquest with 64 players. Ambient sound would sometimes cut out, like foley sounds from player running, vehicle engine sounds, vehicle movement sounds, and map ambient sounds -Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks -Further reduced the probability of getting a corrupt save file by doing miscellaneous changes to the save file system. These include removing the save file saving again when quitting multiplayer -Fixed multiple crashes that could occur when bringing up the in-game Battlelog during round transition -Fixed a crash that could occur when using the BattleScreen -Fixed a random crash related to destroying vehicles -Fixed minor destruction issues in the terrain Who knows how many are actually fixed.

Aishan posted:*Gets hit by over 20 incoming missiles before getting destroyed* Wow, really? I thought you were cool dude :\ The only reason he was up was because he had two repair drones, and he still managed to literally do nothing but get disabled and fly in a circle for the entire match. But getting upset at the repair speed in helicopters is stupid, because it's essentially treating the symptoms and not the cause. Balance lock-on spam versus air and the repair speed will be lowered, it's pretty simple. Of course, the attack helicopter doesn't even have the ability to be repaired mid-flight, and a similar video starring it would have lasted all of 3 seconds before it gets poo poo on by a weapon that requires literally zero effort from the user (BUT BALANCE!). It's pretty obvious the quick repair speed in the Scout is a result of Dice realizing their air vehicles are awful garbage, and during the last minute of development asking the question 'but how can we get people not to notice?!' simple, add in a comically fast repair speed and hope the pilot constantly has a supply of repair drones, and for the attack helicopter? Well, whatever maybe next game. crondaily posted:If they remove lock on weapons, all helicopters should be one rocket hit kills. The best part about this is that all the rocket launchers are ALREADY one hit kills, in addition to missile speed being made 3.5x faster then it was in BF3. But they've already opened Pandora's poo poo box of lock-on weapons, they sure as gently caress won't be removing them any time soon. edit vvv: Who knows, aiming weapons manually is too hard for players these days, I guess. But I've seen your suggestion thrown around a lot on different forums, and obviously we already know it works, since these kind of games have existed for decades just off VADs/flak cannon type stationary weapons and without a torrent of awful, crutch lock-on weaponry.. somehow. I didn't even get started yet on active radar missiles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbIKNlX4xgI), either! Someguy fucked around with this message at 16:26 on Dec 11, 2013 |

Fellatio del Toro posted:Bring back the Bad Company 2 dart gun. If tracer darts were back, and there were destroyable VADS' at various control points, lock-on weapons could be removed without loving up the balance. Seriously why the hell did they get rid of these things? They worked great for anyone who knew what they were doing. Well, darts less so after the hosed with their speed twice, but still.

Dice would argue that it isn't "realistic" and wouldn't fit with setting. Then they let you be revived after being shot in the face with a tank cannon.

So I did some digging, and unless the video is faked, there is no megalodon on Paracel. It's a UFO. Here's the vid. So no giant death shark, just some spooky lights. I also guess I have terrible choice in maps, because I hate OP Fartlocker, but enjoy Floodzone. :/ EDIT: I have to agree, Hainan is painful on most game modes unless you start mining the channels beneath the bridges. And even then, fighting near C is a pain in the rear end.

Chasing realism in a series where a lot of the fun comes from the ridiculousness inherent in it is awful. I hope this modern realistic FPS trend dies the same way as WW2 shooters and we get Battlefield 2143 in a few years.

The worst map is Metro. Operation locker is a close second but is still a little less awful. Floodzone is great. You have to embrace its vertical aspect and I don't mean spending the round on the top of building sniping down. I mean all the alleyways and the space inside the building and what part allows you to jump down on which shortcut. There are more ways to flank enemies than it would appear at first. Then some idiot on your team will blast the water tower while you are 5 capped and it will all goes to poo poo while people complain about the map...

Maybe in 2143 there will be a Resistance 3 style gun that locks on to enemies and all the bullets hit no matter which way you're facing. Every gun can be a lock-on gun!

I feel like taking a RHIB hard to the right at least lets you hold the beach behind cover. We do fine on Hainan, though I accept a lot of that is that we're better and more coordinated than most. We have an awful time getting a foothold on Paracel.

Titanfall has what's called a Smart-Pistol that locks onto the heads of opponents, up to like 3 of them at a time and when you release the trigger it does a 3 round burst that flies straight into their heads.

It's about flying around the stage like a winged monkey while snapping necks, making sick-rear end shots and calling down your very own Playing that game with a control and while moving across a level is going to require some impressive manual dexterity.

At least you can get in the attack boat and get every single unlock for it in one round by just murdering the poo poo out of all the defenders. The worst map is hands down Rogue Transmission. 90% of both teams are wookies shooting at/from the gigantic tower in the middle for the entire match

I dunno I like Rogue Transmission because, "Oh, I am at B and I need to get to D and E and there are no vehicles. Guess I am going on foot." Snap Snap Snapsnapsnap Capture D Snapsnapsnapsnap Capture E. Somewhere some terrible sniper is raging because he has missed 12 shots at me.

waah posted:I dunno I like Rogue Transmission because, "Oh, I am at B and I need to get to D and E and there are no vehicles. Guess I am going on foot." Rogue Transmission is my favorite map. B,C, and E are all well balanced to give infantry a chance vs vehicles. C in particular is a great spot because of the vertical combat dynamic between soldiers on top of and under the dish. You can absolutely harvest knife kills on wookies camping the hills between D and B. A is a snooze that sits right outside of the (US?) spawn, but it's mostly just to balance the proximity of the opposing team to the other points. Flood zone, on the other hand, is terrible map for terrible people.
