Not tried them yet will give them a go. Been using RPG so far as seems to have the highest damage for a launcher. Another idea I had was to use a recon with carbine and C4, will have more of a play tonight no doubt.

The RPG is so much better in BF4 than in BF3, increased rocket flight speed is a huge improvement

Shot 2 little birds out of the sky yesterday to my friends amazement with it

Have spent the last 10 matches or so as commander, much more fun!

How do you do this please - cant seem to find instructions anywhere?

There's an app to download from the store ('Battlelog' I think) which you then login on using origin details. Can browse battlelog from there to change loadout etc and when you join a server you get the blue ribbon along the bottom of the screen which has Battle Screen as an option when you're in a game.

Pretty much, uninstall and kill self imo. Definitely don't use 200% boosts and revive spam 64p locker - just uninstallation and self killing!

I have the worse reaction rate in history.Have you try hardcore mode? I found it very well hard at the start as you get dropped dead with just one burst of gunfire.But slowly I built my reaction rate up and when I went back to normal mode I will dropping people all over the place.

My reaction rate is pretty good, and so is my aim. My problem is that in some of the maps I find my self running around and capping flags but not doing anything else, not finding many opponents etc. I am level 25 and have already captured around 270 flags.

What is your SPM for reference guys?

Not found any lag or stutter on boats, but I have seen a glitch when you are swimming. It's like you're only 'allowed' to see underwater at certain points, as when I tried last night it wouldn't let me, or would let me see under for a few seconds, but it looked awful and it was like I had noclip on.

Then a wave hit me, and I was underwater with all the fancy graphics again.

Yeah was getting that all the time, had a strange one to where the boat I was passanger on sunk under a wave and was acting more like a submarine and wouldn't let me get out.

Not sure how to look it up, but probably about 12. Maybe 17 on a good day.

SPM can be found on Battlelog, overview. Are you sure it is 12? You must be looking at something else.

I found out by chance you can actually dive under water using the v key. Nice touch

It is, I played some great games today but my god was my side top heavy with snipers. I swear to god two of my squad never moved the entire map which was frustrating when you needed help with the bomb.

2 control alt deletes needed in quick succession!! Thought the first one was maybe down to an overclock on my 780, so ran it default and it happened straight away... Very frustrating

More that I was being silly

My work browser doesn't support battlelog (even in my lunchbreak!).

Looked it up on my phone though, and battlelog is taking 40 million years to load.

My soldier's name is MockingbirdUK under tag [OcUK] if you want to look him up

Have to admit I am really enjoying the game so far. I haven't really had any issues with low FPS or anything, playing at max (I5 3570K, 7970 OC) and getting around 80-100FPS.

The game feels a lot smoother than BF3 and plays the way that I wanted BF3 to play, so I guess I am saying that BF4 is what BF3 should have been. To some they are saying it is just a map update, but I do much prefer the feel of BF4.

The only issues so far that I have had is some servers being crazy laggy and random game freezing/crashing, but I didn't have a single one yesterday

Hi what cpu utilisation are you seeing? I have a similar setup to you..

nicnik · 5 Nov 2013 at 12:38

SPM doesn't mean much. You can play domination or TDM all day and boost your SPM. or you play Obliberation on a huge map with less than 48 players and it'll be incredibly low.

FYI obliberation would be more fun.

Tone1979 · 5 Nov 2013 at 12:39

my SPM is only 155.

I haven't had many hours on the game yet, level 3 atm.

Thoroughly enjoying it though.

As a sniper it really annoys me that everyone moans about them. In BF3 I was rocking the M98B with a RDS and I was regularly top of the team as I was capturing points, spotting etc. Half the time I couldn't use my sniper rifle due to there being a pathetic sniper limit in place - seriously, why? It's my game I will use what gun I want to and how I want to.
Just because most players were too useless to handle the fact I was out gunning them with a bolt action rifle when they had M16s I get penalised. Sure if the whole team is sat with sniper rifles then it becomes silly but I RARELY ever see that, usually perhaps 3 or 4 but out of 40+ players it's not exactly an issue!

Rant over!
