***The Official Battlefield 4 Thread***

Eh?

I do most of my spots without the scope while reloading (LMG's), and just tap R1.

I also attempt a spot if I think someone is hiding in some bushes or I hear gunfire/explosions from a certain direction, and more often than not I will spot someone without seeing them :p

Really? May be it's the gun I'm using or something then. I can't spot unless I hold R1 for a sec, though will try without ADS.
 
I feel about as useless as a fart in a space suit at the moment. I absolutely hate the controls for the helicopters and jets.

Have you tried going onto the test range and changing the controls to see if there's something you like?
I hated them at first but switched them about and have no problems now. Well, apart from the fact that as soon as I jump into a helicopter something locks onto me near enough straight away :mad:

Someone mentioned guns work differently than cod,
mavity affects bullets in this game so you can use a gun like a laser and shoot somebody at the other side of the map with 100% accuracy.
I tend to switch my gun to semi auto for long range shots.

Does anyone know why I cant hear voice chat in BF4?

All the games I have played on ps4 I have automatically been in a squad but although I have not used a mic myself Im yet to hear any of the other players in the squad talk.

Is it a setting I need to enable or maybe I need to have my headset connected?

thanks
 
Went back on this last night enjoyed it because I played with some buds, PS4 ran great no hiccups played 64man Conquest enjoyed it, minus the snipers on rooftops or people in helis.
 
New patch for Xbox One out today - though I have no idea where to go to download it, I thought the console would pick it up itself but nothing so far.

I think it's the same one the PS4 got the other day:

-Reduced the probability of the “Kill trade” issue (see below for details).
-Fixed a common crash that could occur during gameplay.
-Fixed an issue that could corrupt save files in the single player campaign.
-Fix for the game mode specific ribbons being counted twice in the multiplayer progression.
-Fix for a graphical glitch that could appear on terrain.
-Fix for the SUAV (introduced in the China Rising expansion pack) not exploding when hitting enemy soldiers. While these indeed should be deadly, they were never designed for “roadkilling” opponents.
-Fix for an issue where 4x the damage from a vehicle's minigun would be applied to the chest when a player had the Defense specialization equipped.
-Servers that friends are playing on now have a higher priority in the server list.
-Server Browser is no longer showing empty or full servers by default.
-Balancing jet handling across all stealth and attack jet classes.
-Fixed a bug in Defuse mode where defenders could win a round by killing all the attackers without disarming the bomb. If the attackers arm the bomb, the defenders need to disarm it to win, even if they have killed all the attackers.
-Fix for a Defuse bug where none of the teams would win a round by letting the timer run out.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the revive screen.
-Fix for players getting stuck in the kill camera after being revived. Note that you might see a graphical bug on-screen after being revived when accepting a revive within 1 second. This graphical bug will be removed in the next patch.
-Fixed the instance where players suddenly would transition into Spectator Mode while playing the Defuse game mode.
-Fix for the death camera/screen being displayed too early.
-Raised the first-person camera slightly for walking in crouch to more accurately reflect the actual position of the character.
-Fixed an issue with the party chat app not working.
-Fixed an issue in the in-game Battlelog where non-ASCII characters would display incorrectly.
-Fixed an issue when maps were not loading properly while player didn’t have the game in full screen.

Kill trading issue
We’ve addressed the so-called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the time frame when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. This should reduce the probability of kill trading.
 
I managed to successfully get a refund for Premium yesterday, and I'm quite glad I did at the moment (I have Xbox One version).

Went on to try having a game last night, and it took over 20 attempts to get on to any server, either through manually searching or finding a quick match.

I don't think I've had one game where it's not turned in to a lag-fest or the sound has crashed.

When the game works, it's great. The problem is, 9 times out of 10 something isn't working right. I'm very much a casual gamer now, and I could easily pick up BF3 and have a quick game and enjoy it, this game just ruins it by taking 15 minutes to find a working server!

This game is a joke, it really is.
 
Yes, I had nothing but server problems, I couldn't tell if the game was any better as I literally just couldn't join a game.

Looking at that first BIG list of bug fixes just shows the scale of their screw up, for such basic simplistic things that never should have been a problem after BF3 ( even though BF3 was never 100% working right, but still).

Also, was it then this game that screws up the party chat?...it wasn't a MS bug at all?
 
Right, BF4, XB1, Tonight.

Girlfriend is out, so i will be on about 8:15.

Anyone else going to be about? Fancy learning the ropes with a decent squad.

Plug in the headset, hold down the PS button and choose audio settings, its in there
 
Talking to a customer support guy with EA trying to get a free code out of him for the China Rising addon - it's proving hard work. Do they even employ humans? I'm getting a chimp vibe.
 
Shocking night last night, after such a good night before, so much bullet spunge enemys and one shot kills on me, i dont think i managed a positive K/d all night which is not normal for me.

Even managed to empty 2 whole SAR-21 mags and a pistol round into one guy and still not kill him, he went 8-0 on me ffs.

Not keen on the new maps, Silk road and the mountain one promote to much sniping, and when you headglitch a rock so cant be killed its really annoying, Level 100 doing this and my bullelts were landing on his head, but because he was glitching it would not register.

Well I got fed up with the EA guy who didn't seem to understand what he was doing. However, I went to Amazon and they just gave me a redeem code :) Success.
 
How the heck did you swing that? Very nice...

ps3ud0 :cool:

When I bought the game from Amazon back in November (for £40 I might add :D ) I asked them if it came with the CR DLC. They said it did. When it arrived it came with no CR DLC (as it wasn't released then of course). So I just asked them if I could have a redeem code today, as I was promised it at initial purchase, and they complied.

If anyone has bought from Amazon, I would suggest just trying it on :)
 
Floodzone is a horrible map. The actual layout is ok but it just seems to be full of snipers sitting on on top of really high roofs racking up kills and doing nothing helpful for their team.
