I realize I am 2 years behind here but I just picked up BF4 Premium for PC and I'm trying to figure out how to play with goons. I found CTS Mumble but is there an active platoon I should be looking for?

There's a few but I'm at work for a while longer so I can't link. Feel free to add me on Origin/Battlelog username is the same as the forums.

Pretty much go into cts join the battlefield channel and say you want to shoot battlemans or 4 mans. Most of us are chilling in there bs'ing while playing other games. So even if you don't see anyone playing in battlelog make sure you check mumble.

Edit. Silenced Aug or ar-160 are both stupidly good and may now be my favorite find in the game. If you are worried about cqc just throw a laser on them and you can hip fire people down easy with head shots.

Many moons ago we had a wonderful round of Silk Chode with half of us throwing paper planes or sitting in IFVs with secondary SOFLAMs and the other half throwing javelins into the opposing team's spawn. It was glorious.

Remember on launch when that one class was broken as all gently caress? It had an m60 AND and an anti-tank rocket launcher. Man that got patched out fast lol.

Silk Road was also amazing when, for a couple weeks, there was that bug that allowed any class to spawn with any gadget from any other class they wanted. You barely even needed lasers because engineers could spawn with an ammo box and have infinite ammo.

That round was glorious, so many tears. Not a single vehicle from the enemy team was alive for longer than 30 seconds after leaving spawn. Took a bit of the round to get dug in up there by E but once we did, seeing 5-10 javelins light up a little bird was a thing of beauty.

Silk Road + the glorious MAVLAM bug of early 2014 was the absolute best. All it took to wreck the other team was one person in a squad using the MAVLAM, a few guys with Javelins, and a support dropping ammo crates.

The MAVLAM is dead. Long live the MAVLAM.

Best of all was that an LAV or murder boat could self lase for TOW and javelin teams carried onboard, with support perk giving infinite ammo.

It seems the entire Eurogoon presence collapsed with their masterstroke patch that changes everything. We all seem to have moved on. Then again what do you expect when a major patch changes everything you know about how weapons work etc. and they expect you to relearn the game after almost 2 years.

I used that patch that hosed all over support weapons (and well everything) as excuse to beat Dark Souls 1 and 2, then start with the Batman games. I even played some TDM matches the last few weeks but hell, the game was mostly fine prepatch and now I can't deal with the garbage tracers that just gently caress all the aiming and yes, I can ignore them but they're visually intrusive.

Totally surviving on my own. On LAND!
Has anyone noticed there are a lot more tank savants running around now? Maybe it's because there's fewer air savants to keep the tanks down but in a lot of my recent games I see people in tanks racking up 40-1 scores.

People have like forgotten how to deal with armor or something. In one game, the only time the tank guys died was when I :happyelf:'d them.

Tanking is like 90% positioning and only 10% aim anyway unless you're beaning jets and distant choppers with shells. I dunno how sophisticated an aimbot would have to be to nail those kinds of shots, too.

axeface posted:

The most and only important part of this game is talking poo poo, and talking poo poo with the focus, cunning, and determination of a fox hunted by dogs. Squad organization and the team mechanic are false constructions meant to distract you from the One True Purpose of Battlefield: Grinding profanities out of your keyboard like a coke-crazed pole cowboy until gameplay stops and the chat window convulses with loathing. Every second you spend playing this game is a second you've lost on puking vitriol over its community. The only acceptable justification for your participation in a round is killing bad guys; every moment somebody is dead is another moment they're forced to pay attention to your bullshit. For this reason you should never revive teammates.

Celebrate every kill by reminding your victim that they could've spent this time in the company of a loved one. Run into a corner and prone first so they can tell that you're typing. Subtly imply that they play video games so much because they secretly hate themselves and yearn to escape from their lives. If they kill you back, state this explicitly, then assert that they invest themselves into children's games because they crave ego-death and are too cowardly to pursue a fulfilling sexual experience or suicide. Remind them that KDR is irrelevant to the actual structure of the game, and the developers only instituted tracking of it in obeisance to our crude animal fear of domination. If your KDR is higher, add that you justify this fear, and that in a primal setting you would collapse their brainpan with your teeth. Pause briefly to note that fear of defilement after death is nothing more than a shadow cast on the wall of the human psyche by the blinding, hideously bright knowledge of our own mortal inconsequentiality, before continuing to describe in detail the crude zoomorphic rituals you would subject your opponent's corpse to in a pre-agricultural setting.

Take note when you earn a nemesis ribbon and write beautiful erotica detailing the carnal adventures you imagine sharing with your victim. Anoint yourself a priest in a Dionysian mystery cult and then loudly announce your intention to gay marry jets by ramming them. Prepare elaborate epitaphs for snipers before you knife them; afterwards, carry on long simulated conversations with them about how stupid they are, using quotation marks to indicate their responses. Post-script all such conversations with "Wait, how am I talking if I'm loving dead?" If you successfully run somebody over with a MAV, spend a minute making robot sounds and questioning whether or not sufficiently advanced computers have souls. Ask your victims if they will dream while you make exaggerated tea-bagging motions over their corpse by flying up and down.

Erratically and interchangeably quote Mussolini and Eugene V. Debs. Turn on thermal optics in the Viper and then splice footage of you base-camping Wake into an Iraq Mudvayne war crime montage. Put that on YouTube and whistleblow it to Julian Assange's gmail account. Cold read the room until you find out the name of somebody's dead grandmother, then channel her spirit through your keyboard to mock their KDR and make debased sexual claims about their ancestry. Put an IRNV on your gun and spend the whole round making clicking noises and repeating things other people say while alternating capslock. Unironically solicit contributions for Jon Huntsman's presidential campaign. Do literally anything without irony.

Strip naked on nights of the full moon and scream your hatred for mankind into the sky. This will have no direct effect on Battlefield players, but the poisonous qi you release into the universe will bring nightmares to children and kill flowers half a world away, lessening the joy of others by a commensurate but ultimately exponential amount. Kidnap Korean War veterans and subject them to hour-long knife kill montages until they have nervous breakdowns. Tell them that this is the face of modern war. Deliberately mislead children into believing unsustainable things. Provoke the manager of the Battlefield Twitter feed into an argument about electoral fraud in modern Russia, then question the morality of releasing a game depicting non-nuclear industrial warfare between two superpowers as entertainment. Tell him that you no longer enjoy Bad Company 3 and offer to mail him a copy of ArmA.

Trigger another fight about Stinger utility in-game.

I would argue that the mobile AA is by far the best anti-infantry armor in the game. I'll gladly hog the gently caress out of it but I'll charge C straightaway because infantry. And maybe kill a helo or two but that's mostly an accident.

Truth, Iv'e gotten better KDR than blatant aimbotters playing on the same server as me when I'm driving the AA. I copied chronos loadout and it works great, the lack of reactive hurts if a tank sneaks up on me but the prox is the best for murdering infantry non stop and it marks mines on the minimap to.
