Did they take the full map out of the Battlelog page? I don't see it anymore and it was a great resource.

Edit: Never mind, works on Chrome now, not on Safari anymore.

Actually, no it went away again on Chrome too.

No ribbons or kills or anything carry over to a still locked assignment. Expect to have to do a fresh new 100 kills with the AK5C once your reach level 100.

Hey Seedge, remember how I said I might have the money for a PS4 by January? Yeah that isn't gonna happen, unless I find $500 on the road or something no new system for me. :toot: See you in two years or something guys.

So the Stealth Jets suddenly become a whole lot less poo poo once you get the Active Radar missiles. Also the chopper Air Superiority map is super fun but they really need to crank the ticket count up to like 300.

There's like 5 xbone users so we wanted to make them feel included.

I've played 5+ hours, lost connection to a server once (just booted me back to the main menu), but that's it. Haven't crashed at all today. On PS4.

Thats good enough for me, premium purchased. I hope I keep on enjoying this game as much as I have so far, in the sense that this $50 is a substitute for some other games I won't buy because I'm busy enjoying this. That's the only way I can justify basically paying double price for a single game.

edit: wow, an almost 4gb download.

That must include China Rising too. Cause premium was an instant download for me.


Hopefully newer games won't gently caress themselves for users with large friends lists.

This has the schedule:

Also, does anyone know if Second Assault is the only content delayed on everything except xbox, or do they delay all the DLC for other platforms?

Looks like DICE will finally fix the damage model issue on Xbone in a forthcoming patch.

Yep, looks like BF4 is officially unfucked. I played three games straight of Conquest with no crashes, when I would never have gotten through even one game before.

My game is doing a bunch of stutters since I last played when China Rising came out for premium members.

Well, on PC. Forgot this was the console thread. I need to update my PS4 copy now that you mentioned it though.

Edit: China Rising was "free" on the store before it came out to non-premium. Now it's $15. :smith: I played it on PC and it does not even feel close to a $15 expansion.

I too had a overall good experience with the new patch. usually the group I play with has someone crash about every map, or all of us crash after 2-3 games. Tonight we had one guy crash, one time, in about 10 games. I also only had 1 kill trade all night when I normally get 3-4 per game. The netcode feels a bit weird and different though.

Many times when I would die, instead of just dying right away I would basically be stuck in place and my screen would shake like I was being hit by explosives, before I had any indication I was even being fired on, and then just instantly die. Also had way more instances of "there is no way in hell this guy could have shot me from where he is right now" where I would move to shoot a guy behind cover and never see him appear and have the same weird locked in place while screen shakes -> you die instantly thing.

Hit detection also felt really off to me for the first few games but it felt fine after that so it was either some minor thing I adjusted to or a weird lag issue since I wasn't rubberbanding at all tonight.

At the time of this thread's posting there was not an Xbone/PS4 thread tag. When there is I will PM a mod and ask to have this one switched. Sorry for your inconvenience.

Welp, after the update yesterday I seem to be hardlocking even more. 3 times in an hour last night with Nicko and Hellbender. I just quit out now whenever Dawnbreaker comes up. When I finally quit to go play the new update to Kerbal Space Program, their server was being pounded by people trying to download the update, so I just ended up :f5:ing the rest of the night.

I fucking hate puzzles.
So now that this game stopped crashing, I've played it long enough to start to get my feet underneath me. I've played recon long enough to unlock the first DMR and feel less crippled when dealing at mid ranges. Is it just me or is the unlock model for the first DMR kind of dumb? Why do they give you canted iron sights before you have any scope to put on it? Do the later DMRs come by default with some sort of sight or scope or is all iron sights initially?

I had this issue too. I had to go back and replay the last level all over again to unlock it.

This really should be in the OP after the PC thread had this pop up every three posts:

Battlelog doesn't always update unlocked weapons immediately, if you go into multiplayer and change a loadout you should see it there. Just go into the test range and do it if you have to.

Hey Beelz quick question. Is there a way to see which goons tags we've taken? I remember for bf3 we could hover over the tags number and it would show us the goons we've taken. I know I got BackupSnacks last night, and I'd also like a place to check to make sure Seedge still doesn't have mine.
