Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

I will say for a map with no jets the flight ceiling on Kaisar Railroad (for one) is way too high. If the chopper couldn't fly higher than Stinger range it would make things a lot more interesting. I hope they take this kind of thing into account in BF4.
 
Well tbh the stinger is useless to start with. The respawn time for flares beats the reload time for stingers. Doesnt matter if you have 5 engis using stingers. The best way to bring down a chopper in bf3 is to get lucky with a tank main gun shell, or an rpg, (black hawk down style). Heck even a lucky m320 round is more effective than the only hand held anti air weapon in the game.

As an infantry player gotta agree with you on that mischief.
 
Aircraft isn't going to be as much of a problem in this game, thank god! Main reason I try to avoid certain maps in bf 3

The main problems with jets (and some points apply to helis) in bf 3 and what makes them look overpowered:

- spotting system, stupid the way you looked in the general direction of an enemy and hit q and the whole enemy team lights up, easy pickings for any jet pilot that can aim, from the looks of it, this has been addressed, you can only spot a few of the team depending on distance, imo though jets shouldn't be able to spot infantry or basic transport stuff like jet skis and quad bikes

- slow speed crawl from above as they unleash their rockets and then finish of with the main cannon and any good jet pilot will do it from directly above so **** all you can do with the main tank shell or 50 cal gun

- vehicle regen. (imo shouldn't be in bf 3 or bf 4), as soon as any jet pilot took a bit of damage, they would fly way of out of range and wait for regen.

- some maps, especially for rush game mode having no anti air vehicles at all thus easy mode for jets

- map design was incredibly poor in bf 3, lack of cover from aircraft

In the BF 4 beta, I had no problem taking the attack heli down with a RPG (no stupid lock on rubbish) or tank shell, however, it needs to be changed so that 1 RPG/tank shell is required for the attack and scout heli and 2 for the transport heli.

Plus since we get the manually controlled rocket launcher back, it is going to be as easy as anything to take helis etc. down no matter the distance, will take time to master but once you do, you will pull of shots like this :D


Going to cause some aircraft whores to rage big time :D :p

Also, don't forget that all vehicles now have that incredibly long reload time for their main weapons, this is a superb idea, no longer can helis etc. just rape non stop. If that wasn't present in the beta, don and I could have easily got a heck of a lot more kills then.

IIRC the flare reload time has also been increased too.

EDIT:

I like that idea a lot! Stinger can go to the max ceiling height that the heli can, would stop those that just hover at the very top spamming 30mm cannon and tv missiles, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

edit:

plus we have auto AA now and that seemed very effective in the beta, as soon as you got close to the base, it destroys you in a matter of seconds.

edit:

not to mention that you have boats heavily armed (took out quite a few helis with it and just the main cannon/gun) and the vehicle mobility hit!

Not heard of them asking that before tbh, but I know some of the grey CD key stores do this and a lot of people don't like it.

I've said before tho Simply have been around quite a while, I remember buying GW1 from them, they're UK based, I wouldd'nt be too fussed providing ID details to them

EDIT: Has anyone been able to buy a gift copy thru the mexico VPN trick or is it only to buy for your own acccount?

I personally dont want to see the heli/jet rape that prevaled in bf3. Good luck to someone that practiced enough and became a good pilot. But in bf3 there is no effective countermeasure against helis or jets whatsoever. The stinger, useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. The javelin, an anti tank weapon that dice has decided can be anti air. Pmsl at that one. Stinger is a one shot kill weapon on low flying jets, heck a few api rounds from a .50 machine gun will bring a chopper down at 2000 yards. Lets have at least a bit of realism in the game.

exactly why i hated bf3 if you a infantory player it was a poor game as it wasnt balanced for infantory players. bf4 does seem better balanced though have seen some footage of helis still raping so i guess when i play conquest ill just play with my lot or not play it as in pub you have no chance of people actually playing objectives :D
 
ahah its like swear fest i would remove it tbh.

if you want the numbers you really need to cut most of that out i know its not probably what you want but fing and blinding every two secs doesnt help.

haha just watched bb on hc sniping . imagine the title learn how to shoot LOL he missed every shot i just watched and that was shooting at someone spawning AHAHAHHA !

Is that amount of rage and whining normal TFU? I mean no disrespect and maybe it's just me, but there is no way I could enjoy playing with someone shouting and swearing down their mic when they get killed.

Don't know about buying a gift copy but I know the Mexican thing is still working because I used it last night.

Can't you just get the login of the person you want to gift the game to and buy it for them on their account?

It seems pretty normal from people who are really good at the game and have zero tolerance of those not as good as them.

I once tuned into someone else's (from OcUK) Twitch stream and it was just a bunch of people bitching and swearing about '******* noobs' and other players stealing 'their' vehicles. It was pretty embarrassing to listen to.
