Download the campaign save and avoid the whole mess. Then again only one of those guns is usable.

BF3 and BF4 campaigns make BC2's one great and Bad Company one truly amazing so there's that. Hell, I'd love to replay BC1 on PC just to not play with horrendous fov.

What's the current buy-in to get into this BF4 thing? I haven't played since BFBC2, and am starting to get that familiar itch, and am not exactly sure if I should wait for DICE to finally shelve Hardline and release another Bad Company/BF5 or just pony up now.

You want premium edition, make sure you don't buy premium only.

I appreciate the BF3 campaign at least for going the extra mile to make it look like you were actually just a guy (or a gal) in an actual war. There was no compelling gameplay reason for the whole pre-launch sequence on the carrier or the dinosaur stuff in the tank, it was just there to be immersive. The plot was also better than in BF4, but that says a lot more about BF4's than it says about BF3's. BF3 was workable if not particularly deep, BF4 reads like it was thrown together over a weekend.

Not really. You'll still mag dump a guy and die in what feels like one shot.

Finally unlocked the first 4x scope for my DMR. SO much better. I had trouble understanding the purpose of DMR's. My last match (with the 4x scope) had 6 kills 1 death, I normally get 3 kills 15 deaths. :v:
My best match was when I was getting sick of being a sniper, and gave the M249 SAW a try and got 17 kills 17 deaths!

DMRs can be great in certain environments; they especially kick rear end on Rogue Transmission. Just don't move while shooting them. Always, always come to a complete stop. The moving accuracy penalties are rough.

Its pretty poor at killing since the 5.7 cartridge's damage model is kinda bad and it has bad horizontal recoil despite that. I recommend using it primarily from the hip, possibly with a Compensator.
