I blew up a helicopter by jumping out of a pubbies, throwing C4, and detonating it, all while free falling.

This loving game.

Can you detonate c4 while free falling? You can't fire guns or anything else.

So wait they said the PS4 patch for today was delayed but a poster here mentioned patch notes. Did something on ps4 patch today?

Here's how I understand China Rising:

As a Preorder bonus, you don't have to pay for it. However the *public* release date is 12/17.

Battlefield Premium folks get it 2 weeks early (today.)

I haven't played campaign on Xbone in a bit, so I decided to try to unlock some items. Fired it up, and it started at the beginning, like it had no clue I'd played through a fair amount already. Any clues what I can do?

Punch a pillow and start over? You probably crashed at some point and it corrupted your save.

[edit] Oh wait, Xbone, sorry. Yeah, same result, different reasons. :dice:

That is not correct. The patch was delayed. The patch was bug fixes only. The very article you link states that China Rising is out for Premium.

It would be cool if they could fix the bugs that prevent us from playing the game before they fix the bugs that affect in-game play. I don't think I've ever encountered this one hit kill bug knowingly

You've never had the drop on someone, emptied a few bullets, had then turn and drop you in what feels like an impossibly short timeframe?

I get that a lot.

It specifically says in the patch notes that it does not address game stability, only the OHK bug. They explicitly state that a stability patch is coming next.

Well to be fair it does say it fixed one crash related to friends list size. That said, we ALLLLLLL know there are probably about 80 reasons this game crashes. So yeah, a stability fix is yet due. ;)

Jets in BF4 feel like some completely irrelevant mini game tacked onto the gameplay. They don't affect anything else but other jets. It's just this other, fairly useless, mostly harmless layer.

At least on PS4, BF4 doesn't bring the entire console down when it crashes. :shrug:

It sorta does for me and a buddy of mine in an indirect way. If BF4 crashes, the audio starts to pulse in and out real fast on my PS4 and I have to reboot.

I choose a teammate, it doesn't say "warning", he's not surrounded in doritos, but I spawn and *shank*. It's happened enough times to be annoying.

It annoys me too. My problem with it is less that it happens to me and more that it happens so fast the implications are that my body is there before I am seeing/controlling my dude. No one could react that fast. I've literally even hugged as I spawned. Like, can't even take a step forward.

You can set it to post only to you, then pull it from facebook using a downloader and upload to Youtube. A bit roundabout, but gets the job done.

Every method of that that *I* have tried ignores the HD option on FB and the quality is usually pretty poor from the source to begin with, so it isn't very optimal.

I've never played a Battlefield game. My wife bought me this one the other day. Should I just learn to drive/fly in sandbox mode and then jump in?

You should learn to shoot and run around. And learn how to blow up vehicles. For the most part (with some exceptions) Vehicles are a distraction. Sure, Helicopters can be fun and useful, but Jets might as well be in their own insignificant world. A game unto themselves that doesn't affect the ground game at all. Tanks are cool. ATVS can get you from Point A to Point B. Surprisingly, with a good crew, Boats are absolutely insane.

So yeah, I guess there's some exceptions. But the best thing to do, bar none, is get good at the shooty mans. You can just hitch a ride with a decent driver.


Protip: If you spawn in a helicopter already being piloted, there is a greater than 75% chance it is seconds from crashing. DON'T DO IT! ;)

Patch-chat: I only ran with the AK5c after playing today, but I started noticing that it felt like it took longer/more bullets to kill people. My friend playing with me said the same thing, then he switched to the G36 and said that felt like it took longer/more bullets too.

Im not necessarily upset about this, but am wondering if anyone else noticed this.

Also, first person death animations feel different. I see my hands and legs flail out now. I didn't before.

Calm down. There's no "event". If you connect to the game today you get a free battlepack, like every day this month.

You calm down. They mentioned events on Sunday in the recent past. I was just pointing out how roundabout their news linking was. You're a really high strung OP.

I created one there. But I was forced to use shapes and primitives, and while I *SUPPOSE* some of these amazing images are done that way, it feels like some... aren't? If they are all shapes and primitives that's pretty loving amazing.

What's up Feenix, glad to see you're still alive.



Anyway, my problem resolved itself this morning, all guns/unlocks were back, so I guess it had nothing to do with the two PSN IDs listed on Origin.

But hey, tonight again (on PS4) - I can go to Battlelog ingame, it shows all my poo poo, as soon as I start an actual game, I'm back to square one on guns/unlocks. Is this a bug anyone else has experienced? It's like the game letting me know I should play less. Frustrating as hell.

Sup 'cat!!
Same here and with my buddy. And a couple nights ago. I was back to square one in guns and equipment. Quitting the game and rebooting it seemed to fix it all times though.
Other weirdness was afoot, too, leading me feel like it was EA's servers having a communication issue maybe.

Feenix

I think things have been worse than normal lately with EA's servers/service. The "you only have starting equipment and guns" thing happens every day to me now. Every day has been greeted with "You failed to connect to EA's servers" when I first boot up, too.
