Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~
- Thread starter ~Mike~
- Start date
loving this game and it is 100 times more fun when playing with people from here!
TBH imo there really isn't anything that needs to be tweaked with regards to balance (at least not yet anyway......), absolutely loving the vehicles (don't bother with helis or jets much), not really bothering with the main tank weapon, just using the LMG or HMG to mow people down.
I have a funny feeling that DICE will nerf the boat and it will just become utterly useless against other vehicles or/and infantry, always have a knee jerk reaction when people complain about it on bl
Once helis and jets get more unlocks, boats won't last as long as what they currently are.
Getting sick of the crashes though, have had so many rounds where I have unlocked loads of stuff, got a great score etc. and then crash, I actually dread to think what rank I could have been on by now if it weren't for the crashes, currently rank 32
It has got to the point where it is constantly on my mind during a game....
edit;
it is quite funny how the "beta" (after the wonder patch) is more stable than the final game

Same! It actually didn't take long to unlock everything for it.
Thankfully I haven't had any problem with jets, in fact I don't think I have even been killed by one yet
8 burst is the best for air defence but I prefer the extra damage of the 30mm.
Got so much love for the TV missiles, just wish dice would fix the hit reg. for them, hit so many helis today but no reg.
You can always tell when you **** the enemy team of as you will notice a HUGE increase in the amount of rockets coming your way

The only crashes I've had in many hours tonight have been server crashes with everyone being dumped. Running 13.11 beta7.

Really impressive stats mate!
I only gave the Tv missile one go, ill have to try them again. Also do engineers get some auto lock on rocket to unlock? I noticed I'm getting hit loads more now when I'm in land vehicles.
Only just started playing tonight but only crashed once personally but the server crashed when we tried to change maps as Shanghai came on. Decent performance and actually ended up Positive on some rounds!
Golmud is far too open and not a lot to do. I can see this being the 'Tehran highway' of BF4.
Still not played all the maps either but level 4 now after one nights play. Some of the starting weapons are LOL worthy with their recoil. Unlocked a 3.4 sight for the Chinese Engineer weapon and it was way worse. Can't wait to unlock some new guns. Also managed to unlock AA missiles on the Scout choppers which fly way better and are very nimble. I was our turning a Viper in the Z11 and taking them down. Can't wait to unlock the anti-vehicle cannons.

Try changing browsers mate, I just installed google chrome after having your problem and it installs the plugins and then loads fine, shame I had to find out the hard way also

A couple things I don't like are starting with so many things unlocked, guns feel way more powerful for some reason. Also just noticed the homing missile effect on the base rocket launcher wtf?
Well i think i would if the rubber banding stops, i can't play the game as it stands
64 player = rubber banding/lag mess
32 = perfect (well for a bf game anyway
)It is a complete joke how the beta ran better than this version..... Only thing this final copy has over the beta is it runs extremely smooth and better than bf 3.
Thanks
Wait till you see westie's stats! Main tips for tv missiles:
- they are very sensitive so only move your mouse very gently/slowly (at least with my settings anyway)
- try to line the shot up as if you were firing a rpg i.e. take into account where the vehicle is going, distance, speed etc. makes it easier for you to keep it on target
- keep an eye on your map before firing one as once fired and if you miss, you have to either wait for it to go out of range or hit something else so as you can imagine a pita if a boat sneaks up on you
Yup, the javelin! Noticed that too lately, very common on the maps where you have the roof top campers

That is only for the starter weapons and tbh it is a good idea imo and is what I been wanting dice to do since bf 3 as any one who came late to the game got their ass handed to them due to crappy stock weapon with no basic attachments i.e. a decent scope.
And yup I hate that rocket launcher, no skill involved and should be removed and the rpg or smaw as the standard rocket launcher. Thankfully it is pretty weak......

Thanks for the TV missile tips, i'll give it a shot tommorow.
Yea I always forget about the new guys! The same with bf3 the first things unlocked is what I used the most especially on tank etc. I get really lazy tbh and never customize anything lol. Same with this rocket launcher, it's like they given them the most powerful/easymode as default.

Make sure you do customise as there are some damn good things that make a difference to weapons, vehicles! I very rarely do it during game, do it on battlelog instead.
Easy yes but not powerful It explodes just above the tank so no matter the angle you hit it from, it won't be able to do the same amount of damage as the other rockets. I got all of them unlocked and just use the RPG, fastest + most damage iirc. SRAW is good but not great with tanks as you want to be able to fire and take cover straight away after, with sraw you have to control it till it hits the tank and chances are you will get shot by the tank or someone else.
