Couldn't disagree more.
Was using vehicles all night and didn't notice one sound glitch, even on golmud railway that was terrible for it.
The server browser now actually tells the truth and I got into every game I wanted first time, no more "failed to join game"
I was shooting people with my ASVAL all night and not having any problems, likewise with my Shorty 12guage.
Your tank doesn't get taken out by one RPG, you just got shot with a load of them at once. Remember on next gen there are 32 other players on the enemy team, not 12. So the chances of finding 5 engineers in a pack is much .. much .. much higher than on BF3 on the 360. You can't be nearly as aggressive with vehicles as you could in BF3 due to the amount of classes carrying C4 and the number of different launchers available to engineers.
Same applies with the speed of the vehicles, dice nerfed all the vehicles both land and air tbh, to swing the balance more in favour of the infantry player. This is not something they need to "fix" just a balance change you don't like.
As for when the machine gun blocks your view, just change to 3rd person and back, that does it. Its not even slightly annoying tbh.

I seem to recall you complaining a lot about bf3 as well. Without soundingnlike a douche it seems you want to fly around in choppers with impunity racking up kills.
Surely if there are numerous issues with bf3 and bf4 that you dislike would it not be better to stop playing?
What do you hope is patched or changed?
Alright, ill record it for you, seeing as we can do that now, but the very first game I had was straight into the China rising Silk Road is it?
Jumped into tank, sound didn't kick in, usual 10-15second gap before it started working and you get that crashing sfx kick in, also random crashing sfx then dropping the tank from the higher speed for no reason.
Not only this but got that weird frame rate twitch, then the tank started making a weird as hell twitching all over the place and had to get out and back in again.
You could be right on the RPG thing though.

Not really, towards the end BF3 was fine, though I still noticed sound issues in it in tanks the sound would still cut out, with paying for the full price them premium, I don't see why we should give EA Dice a free pass on not having every bug sorted. But it feels like any skilled choppers have just been removed if you where good enough by over powered Mobile AAs on every level that dont even have to move, from their base to do the most damage. Nearly all of the weapons missiles etc feel heavily underpowered from any vehicle.
Il actually spend very little time in Heilis overall.
I'm not feeling its just me either, mate in work gave up tonight as well on the update itself, another has got his refund for premium and game.

Silk road is probably my favourite CR map, but mainly cos I always defend/attack D, it can be pretty frustrating running across the open to get annihilated by vehicles all the time.
Been trying to do the China Rising assignments as it's the only trophy I need for 100% trophies, finally got the bomber kills/bomber delivery ribbons I needed last night, what a pain they were.

Have you tried deleting the game and installing it again?

I've noticed this will happen when the map is first loaded, I think it's possibly files still being loaded for the game. Just a guess but I believe frostbite uses streaming for the majority of files so some will still being loaded when the game has started.
I get it on gulf of oman. Jump into tank right away and there's a 5-10 seconds before the engine sound kicks in even after setting off. Only when the round has just started though. Operation firestorm is the same but it hardly ever comes back, I recall op firestorm being a bitch for it in BF3 as well.

Its takes 10 seconds or so for the sound to kick in at the start of a round but after that its fine its probably just the servers queueing all the different players sound effects up at the start of a round as everyone can instantly get in vehicles now instead of running to them.
The twitch in framerate is probably rubber banding and error correction kicking in due to lost packets, all you can do is check your connection for jitter and packet loss and if all ok you need to accept sometimes the internet loses stuff. You can drive 50m on a lossy connection and if the server doesn't get to see your movements as the data packets are lost you'll get pulled back to where you came from and it appears glitchy.
Don't drive into the middle of a big firefight with a tank, the first thing the enemy engineers will do is spam you with RPG's chasing the 500 or so points they'll get for potentially killing you, your passenger and the tank.
Also, don't fly over the enemy base as the AA guns are now automated and are lethal, they just spam you out the sky in seconds.
I'd try Domination and camp a flag. There will be always someone who's trying to hide prone near a flag who won't see you coming.
I'm on most nights but all the people that were playing this last week seem to have stopped

I'll be back on now - I've not had the internet since the 3rd December after the house move but finally got it installed yesterday.
SO I've got plenty of catching up to do.
Loads of NHL highlights to watch from last night first but then I'll be on a fair bit over the weekend as really just want to chill after the last 6 weeks I've had

Delivering a bomb and capturing a flag are proving very difficult! Very frustrating!
The defib can be the worst to get the others shouldn't be a problem , just try to sneak behind some camping sniper and remember charge the defib enough , I got mine done on conquest .
First time i tried i completed it, remember to charge the Defibs fully, and have equiped the 40mm instead of medkit, and a good pistol like the P226 or M1911.
The game did lag for me and it took 3 40mm rounds to kill one guy
but i did it. i completed it on Dragons Pass i think it is, with the cave !!
One thing i did notice was how random the server lagging was.
Fancied playing some CTF on second assault, played about 5 or 6 games of that with no lag at all.
Played some air superiority (or at least tried to, such a stupid game mode as games last about 4 minutes and 3.5 minutes of that you spend flying trying to find somebody to shoot at) that was fine too.
Fire up some conquest large however, and the rubber banding started. I had one game on golmud railway whereby I could kill people OK, but all sorts of strange stuff was happenning, i was rubber banding all over the place whereby you take 3 steps forward then on the 3rd step just pause, before then continuing on again. I was on a quad bike that just vanished into thin air. It appeared to hit something on the ground (a small rock) and no explosion, no dead quad bike carcass, just *poof* vanished into thin air.
Thats definitely not the game lagging, or me, as I played about 7 games before that and they were fine. The problems happened when i moved to that server.

The defib kill is easiest to get in a conquest round, just look out for camping snipers and sneak up behind them. Just remember to charge them first.
After that just start launching 40mm grenades into groups of people, the pistol kill is easy to get.
For me it does seem map dependant, some are fine, a few are very noticeable, and yes its always on the large big conquest games ( my fav to play), so think im just going to stick to small ground soldier game modes.
