Who cares that lot joined ruining the server and everyone quit, boring.

The rounds weren't that bad!

Wasn't that much difference (IIRC about 200 ticket) and iirc you guys won zavod!

Just be thankful the gap wasn't the usual 600+ with you being pinned in your deployment base

Yeh, you were pretty ropey on Seige..

Yeah that was the main round (other one being on golmud with Josh) where I just kept missing easy shots and my reaction time and thinking process just seemed delayed

Guys, seeing a lot of people using the x2 magnifier. Is this used in conjunction with red dots etc?

yarp, exactly as it says.

just a flick over lens that overlays the RDS/whatever to give a zoom bonus.

I like it a lot-especially for LMG if you're packing a bipod - lay down and flick over the mag and suddenly you're a counter-sniper bad boy, ruining people's day from hlafway across the map. Flip it off and stand up and you can hose corridors til the cows come home.

np

not sure if the magnification stacks or is even compatible with the other scopes, e.g. 1.5x scope would become 3x, or 3.4x becomes 6.8x .....think it's only for non magnified sights....I'm sure someone can confirm otherwise.

I've only ever used the 2x magnifier on the LMGs personally, it's nice to have that little bit of extra visibility when trying to hit those targets towards the longer range.

murah · 23 Dec 2013 at 14:24

Sigh still having issues with BF4 , crashing once in a while, stats not properly updating on BL.. I am disappoint.

setter · 23 Dec 2013 at 14:24

Just tried it on test range on the ACWR, does indeed help a bit for range work. I had it on with an RDS scope.

Most sights that aren't 1x are incompatible with the magnifier - I use magnifier a lot as its pretty useful for seeing where your long range shots are actually landing and adjust as needed - I have it strapped on my G36C even heh.

I think there is something very very wrong with this game though (like thats not already apparent) it seems headshots are far more reliable hitting than body shots? I've noticed for awhile I seem to get far too many headshot kills for the number of kills I'm getting compared to any other game and with a bit of experimenting last night a well placed headshot was hitting 99% of the time (unfortunatly I'm too much past my prime to consistantly track the head any more) but also you could go nuts spraying someone with bullets without anything seemingly registering but then you'd get a headshot

like it was the only one out of the dozen plus shots that were hitting them that actually registered.

grant666uk · 23 Dec 2013 at 16:03

Just bought this yesterday and to say I suck would be putting it lightly. Only level 2 and it feels like I have been playing for ages. Only been trying team deathmatch. Anyone know what the best mode that's a little bit easier and faster to level up ?

Mockingbird · 23 Dec 2013 at 16:10

Conquest!

Honestly, for XP and unlocks, Conquest is the mode that just ladles points into your lap. TDM, while fun, is VERY slow for anything except unlocking addons for specific weapons (as those are by number of kills, rather than points).

Basic engineer kit is not bad, and once you unlock the basics (repair tool etc) you can do a lot of good. Try and find a squad that's giving orders, so you can stick together.

Failing that, hop in a tank and just shoot people in the face with it.

If you're trying to play as a solo infantryman because that's more your thing, then in TDM you'll probably be best off with the support class - if you've finished the single player you can unlock the M249 which is an excellent belt-fed LMG, lets you go (a bit) rambo, plus by dropping ammo refills you get lots of extra points from your teammates.

grant666uk · 23 Dec 2013 at 16:50

Thanks mate. Top tips there. I just had a wee shot of conquest and your right I did seem to get a little more xp. Was reviving people left right and center.

Mockingbird · 23 Dec 2013 at 16:51

I think that, if you inlcude the ribbon score, capping an enemy-held flag gets you about 4-5 kills worth of XP. I could be wrong, but it definitely seems to rack up pretty fast.

Is westy, Splitterjock or something in BF4 guys? not to sure of everyones names on here and on BF yet, some of you have different handles.

All the same, I feel gr8 being in games with ppl who I've heard today are some of the finest players in the world :cool:

I'm all for learning and improving but not taking it to seriously at the same time. Loving the craic so far on TS as well, I just have to be a little quiet at times as the PC is in my lounge.
