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.

you were killed by some lovely pubby with a DMR and your carbine/lmg/assault rifle was outgunned.

at least 5 times a night this happens.

Why is it rewarding people who clearly can't loving aim? You can't even go full auto with an LMG and have that kind of success rate.

DMRs are the worst guns in the game. Their TTK is higher than nearly every weapon class.

Even my glorious SKS has been reduced to poo poo.

tl;dr: all of the guns you mentioned are better than DMRs within 150m.

If you're not ghost riding the whip every time a squad member asks you for a ride you are objectively playing battlefield wrong

The SKS in BF4 is usable. It's not the accurate to 200m snipers get fuckin' poo poo on cannon that it was in BF3.

The bullet drop on DMRs is loving horrendous. They're bad at what they're supposed to be good at and loving horrible at everything else thanks to terrible TTK, bullet drop, poo poo minimum damage -5 hits to kill with a loving DMR at range? Why not use a goddamn assault rifle and at least get automatic fire and possibly BETTER bullet drop- holy gently caress DMRs are terrible. This annoys the poo poo out of me because I loving loved the SKS and M39 in BF3 (the M417 never clicked for me despite it being objectively better than the M39); they were the perfect midrange, clear camping pubbies out guns.

Really, I think I UCAV so much because if I try to take this game seriously at all, I'll end up just like someguy, rocking myself to sleep under a bridge somewhere muttering to myself about the glory days when people had to aim to get their kills/guns worked/etc, and I just can't do that to myself :smith:

I dunno, based on this posts and others you have made it sounds like it's already happening.

I've been playing FPSs for a long time but at a low level, and I've always noticed that some people just get so worked up about it, more so than any other genre of game I have played. Maybe I just haven't played enough kinds of competitive online games, maybe it's always like this...

High on the Lions.

Battlefield 4 has killed console EA gaming for me. Since Sim City, I have officially boycotted any EA PC game. And now I think I am going to do the same for EA console games. Supporting this poo poo anymore is inexcusable. Playing roughly 30minutes before crashing on a game released over a month ago on a game drat console, I'm done with.

I'm not playing BF4 again until they fix the crashing. And even when they do, I'm not giving them another dime.

I crash 100% of the time on Dawnbreaker, but as long as I quit out of the matches when it comes up, I don't get problems.

I've picked up a pretty weird new bug after the last update though. If I scroll too far down the server browser and try to join a game, it flashes up a premium advert instead. :psyduck: Which doesn't bloody help because the exclude full servers filter doesn't work either. :argh:

On 360 last night I only crashed once, but the time I played before that my party had at least one crash a round. It's a total crapshoot. Though instead of crashing I got to deal with laser sights bugging out and never leaving the map, so there were a bunch of red dots painted all over everything even if no one was there, my gun's recoil shooting it sideways instead of up, and every other death being that lovely bug where one bullet counts as several on top of the latency issues so it seemed like I was dumping thirty bullets into a guy when in reality I was probably dead. It was infuriating.

quote:

The filter is completely broken. I think what it currently does is an OR condition instead of an AND, so if you toggle to check for BF4 default maps and less than full servers, the actual query will be "less than full servers OR (all BF4 default map servers, regardless of population)". It always includes what I tell it not to unless I only have one toggle, so if the query is to find all servers except full ones, it'll work so long as you don't put in any additional parameters.

Use battlelog to search for servers, and join through there. It's still mighty busted because :dice:, but it's significantly better than the ingame browser. It also lets you know which friends are playing on which servers making joining on them far easier.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


Last night I was assaulting the mobile spawn on Golmund Railway in a jeep. The train car was moving and there was an enemy on the mounted gun on the front. I drove my jeep straight at the thing, bailed out, watched it hit the train head on, explode, kill the gunner, and I mopped up his chum with my L85A.

I love this game.

As per crashing servers, I played for about 10 hrs this weekend and it only crashed once. Have you guys tried deleting the game from the system cache? I did this on week one when it was really really bad and I haven't had problems of the magnitude described in this thread since.

Little Bird session from last night.

Thanks to moocow, robotisize, and nuclear_cheetos for being a part of that stupidity.

The Little Bird and its counterparts are honestly my favorite part of BF4. It's a fairly well balanced vehicle (once you upgrade out of the awful miniguns), it's got enough firepower to take down most anything weaker than a MBT, I'm nimble enough to dodge around buildings when I see a lock on warning, and I don't desperately rely on passengers to be effective (though it'd be nice if the co-pilot seat could use something like TV-guided missiles). The only thing I have to seriously worry about are mobile AA on flat maps like Lancang, for which I end to just keep my altitude as low as possible.

Yeah I don't need co-pilots to stay up but they are greatly appreciated when it happens.

You can definitely see when I poo poo myself and run away though and it happens every single time I see a mobile AA moving. You're lucky if you are up for even 10 seconds with one of those things rolling around.

That nimbleness extends to the other choppers though. Compared to BF3 and the two BC games, both games I really cut my teeth on with choppers, these choppers are so much fun to fly.

I kinda wish they'd let you load up test ranges in any map to figure out good chopper paths and get a feel for the maps cause for awhile at launch I would dodge around a building on Dawnbreaker or Shanghai and slam straight into a wall.

It's all good now though.

Strangely enough I think the transport choppers might be my favorite to fly. I really enjoy rolling a full chopper to a point and using freelook to spot targets for the gunners.
