Michael Scott posted:Aren't the EA commercials for BF4 really weird-feeling? I'm not sure what their focus groups told them or what kind of demographic they are trying to appeal to. I guess it's like "lots of normal people play Battlefield, you should too"? I don't have tv so I haven't seen any actual commercials, but it was weird seeing sponsored Facebook posts from Kevin Hart and Lil Wayne talking about how cool BF4 is on my feed.

Alan Smithee posted:So I haven't had time to read this thread in its entirety, what are people saying with regards to "still playing BF3" vs "BF4 already Jesus Christ?" Battle packs don't matter even a little bit, don't factor them in to any purchase you make. BF3 premium was worth my money personally since I played the game pretty much from release til a month ago. Your mileage may vary depending on how much you liked the last game, so just follow that.

AlternateAccount posted:Nothing and I mean NOTHING is worse than those "call of duty time" commercials with janitors playing guns with mops. For gently caress's sake they're awful. I thought the first one was pretty clever a few years back, where it's a huge crowd of people having a finger gun shootout. I think it was a superbowl ad or something.

Yeah, GMG is 100% legit. When I first started using them I had some trouble with my credit card being declined since they're out of country, but switching to PayPal fixed that. I have zero complaints about their service, and I've bought maybe twenty games from them.

peabody624 posted:What is with the delay on firing the REX? Makes it terrible. It's because it's double action (pulling the trigger also cocks the hammer) and it's a little touch that gives me such a loving nerd boner. I only wish you could manually cock it to have instant fire, but have it go off in your hand/holster if you mantle over something or get jarred because gun safety

I'm really debating whether to take off early and VPN unlock to get some early playing in if it looks like 12:00AM EST is going to be a massive poo poo show. How about I tell you how they are now? There aren't a ton of populated servers, but I haven't experienced any crashes playing on KFS.

Man, I played Paracel for the first time last night. My squad fighting off wave after wave of boats and choppers at E in the middle of an angry sea while screaming at the commander to drop us more supplies (and he did!) might have been the most fun I've had in a BF game.

I've gotten what looks like a medal several times after playing a Conquest map and the description is just something like, "Reached the score goal!" but I don't see it in Battlelog. What is it and why am I getting it? It's been giving me a couple thousand points or something so that's cool, but I'm not sure what I'm doing to receive it.

Sappo569 posted:Yeah what's up with that! On a lot of revolvers, pulling the trigger also does the work of cocking the hammer back and revolving the cylinder, which means there's more resistance than with more "modern" guns. I only wish you could hit select fire or something to manually pull back the hammer to get rid of that delay in anticipation of a shot.

Inspector_666 posted:I was just playing Paracel with a friend and we decided to hop in the Chinese RFB and sow some havoc. We came across our RFB beached on the little island south of point D and got sad for a minute. Then we hopped into the thing anyway and holy poo poo. We became a death factory. We were able to suppress and kill people at C and D and the US just kept feeding us RFB and chopper kills as they tried to come get us. I did this with my squad on that hulked ship point, and it ruled. They were pubbies, but we happened to have a rounded enough group to stay supplied while fighting off wave after wave of boats, jetskis, and choppers. The commander even dropped supplies and ran scans for us, presumably because we were the only squad holding a point for the entire round.

Liberatore posted:And yeah, suppressors are awesome. After getting around 300 kills with a suppressd AK 5C between yesterday and today, I don't think I can use any ARs or carbines without a suppressor equipped, if available. The difference they make is absurd. I've barely ever been outflanked by enemy troops since slapping a silencer on my SAW. I can't use it at long range quite as well anymore, but I'm way less afraid to deploy my bipod someplace for an extended period, now. It doesn't really affect your run of the mill pubbies that much, but it gives you a definite edge against better players who actually glance at the map now and then.

Battlelog stats say the starting semi auto shotgun does more damage than the 870, is that true? If so, what's the advantage of the pump, tighter spread or something?

The big cannon is alright for nailing infantry and disrupting big troop masses, but garbage against vehicles. The other two slots are useless. I just use it as a mobile spawn point. Just ignore enemy gunships unless you're in a jet or MAA. They're not really a threat and will get taken down by your team in short order.

Gunning in a well-driven RHIB boat is loving incredible on Paracel. We were bombing around the islands and wiped out two scout choppers and even managed to kill a hateboat!! The really cool thing is that the gun can swivel 360 degrees, so you can poo poo all over anything that decides to chase after you.

Liberatore posted:The ticket thing isn't a problem except for Rush (64p rush with 100% tickets sucks) They could change the mode pretty easily to accommodate 64p; since the issue with that many players tends to be suffocating defense, just make it so that you only have to destroy one of each set of MCOMs to move to the next stage. Split the focus of the defenders a little more. Ideally, of course, you'd just have maps designed for bigger Rush games, but this way could mitigate the problem a little.

odark thirty posted:I played a couple rounds just to get the ribbon. Games are fast, 5v5 with one life. Attacking team tries to plant and detonate a bomb obliteration style. Three rounds with one team attacking, three rounds with the other team attacking for a total of 6 rounds per map. For some reason the game has to reload the map when the attacking team switches. It seems like the attackers have the advantage, you can plant the bomb at one of two different places so the defenders have to guess right to cut them off before the attackers get set up in defensive positions around the armed MCOM. The bomb countdown is pretty long though. It's a tense little gamemode, but not what I or most people are looking for in Battlefield. So, literally DE_ mode from Counter-Strike? That's really cool but not surprising after gun master in bf3. Let's just get some AS_ maps in there now

Stefan Prodan posted:What are people finding better as far as medium-close range stuff? I don't wanna use a shotty because I'm definitely not close range enough. I thought about unlocking the carbines but I kinda like the DMRs right now, especially as I try to get better at sneaking up and snap headshotting people. It seems good for that, like it's accurate enough to reward you for a headshot at reasonable range but won't punish you hugely if you miss like a bolt action rifle. Carbines rule, you should really give them a shot.
