Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

I noticed that though not really bothered to look at it too much - activated a 25% boost that supposedly ran for an hour - 2 maps (less than 40 minutes) later it was already gone.

......really getting fed up of medics not dropping packs.......and ******* not using the spot feature "

Must say I raged at one medic when I was down to about 17% cos he was right next to me and offered me **** all in the way of healing......however I later realised it was cos he had "paddles" instead.....oops

I do agree with spotting though, especially when I get in a heli. I tend to spam my spot key at every available opportunity.

Rroff · 11 Nov 2013 at 21:07

I don't have a spare key to use spot

left it on default Q (I use arrow keys) - most of the time I'm too busy trying to (and failing miserably) kill people to use it anyhow.

Have you tried your fixes?

on serverside they really fix em

Just played Commander for the first time. Loved it! Really good feeling when your team are actually responding to your instructions. Cruise missile multi-kills on a pack of snipers are a dream! Got 5000+ points on my first go.

Servers are a bit quiet at the moment. Not many (sadists) playing 64 player Rush this evening.

Edit: At least not on UK servers...

64 player Rush? I'm guessing that does just turn into a complete mess.
Rush was awesome in BF:BC2, but in BF3 I fun it a bit lackluster in comparison. The exception being Damavand Peak were at one point in Rush you parachute off the helipad to the buildings down below.

Bloody hell, had a good game just now, but Christ why is there never any squad leader actually issuing orders.... Really bugs me.

YOu don't have to, you either repair the box on the back of the CN boat or the rail on the US boat, although the US boat is harder / worse.

tried everything and every point i had access to being as i couldn't crouch, and it didn't repair it at all.

Gerard · 11 Nov 2013 at 22:21

What is it with the javelin giving absolutely no warning when its fired at you? No beeping sound or anything you just get hit and are left wondering wtf was that. Was just in a patrol boat on paracel, got hit by one, seen the second one coming, deployed the gimmick that's supposed to stop them from hitting you and it hits and destroys me anyway, wtf...

I think you can only crouch if there is no one on the mini guns, I have managed it before and Thinks that was why.

Made an attempt at my Jigglypuff emblem, mildly horrifying.

No idea how to do the tuft of hair though.

Nice!

Try and use the "comma" to make the tuft, I think it is the right shape?

Why am I nearly always on a loosing team?! Surely, I'm not the deciding factor between winning and loosing, so why is there not an win/loss average of around 50-50?

Stonehouse · 11 Nov 2013 at 22:37

Had some great close games on Rogue Transmission before with MarkPitchford!

Add me if you like to play conquest large; MartyStonehouse

why do the xp boosts get cut short? used a few of em 200% xp one was most noticeable was supposed to be for 2 hours during that time it randomly disappeared

You or server probably crashed and lost them

That is why I am not using any of the big ones, only 25% xp boosts.

Emblems are broken too, only seen my punisher emblem a few times on vehicles, never on my guns

Had good games with ocuk people here earlier but we got absolutely raped in a few matches (had a few clans on)

LostPhil · 11 Nov 2013 at 22:44

Had a good few games tonight without any issue... until I quit! Luckily it saved the progress. Did terribly on that last Flood Zone game though. And I'm sure Nexus was screaming at me for ammo

I'm struggling with this a lot, bf 3 seemed more balanced with gunfights etc, I find myself dying a lot in this, and struggling unlockinging new weapons

The gun mechanics do feel a bit different. It feels like people drop allot quicker. tho i know the damage model is pretty much the same. :rolleyes:

Loved playing rush on that level for that very reason

Had a few games tonight, bit of a mixed bag, no crashes either server or client, but game has been really laggy and my ping has been up and down all night, tried different servers but that didn't help. Don't know if it's the game or Sky fibre acting up :confused:

nicnik · 11 Nov 2013 at 22:50

I play most modes, but I do like my cod fix with TDM and domination.

again, I play 6-11pm most evenings. I'm a decent medic and that's about it. I use in-game voip but no one seems to answer

hehe, only every now and then!

Don't know what is wrong for me today, game just seems very poor performance wise, stuttery and sluggish despite good FPS and ping
