No Internet in my house yet :( missing out on BF4

I moved on the day of launch and it took them 3 weeks to get it in - was a nightmare!
I gave them a months notice too! It's horrible being without it.



I haven't had issues with the browser not showing any games, but I can no longer see the server any friends are playing on. It shows up on battlelog but when I enter the server browser it just says 'no friends playing' so I have to join via battlelog or psn
 
I've worked out the best way to play operation locker is to equip an LMG and then just hold down the fire button til either:
A) All of the enemy are dead
B) You run out of bullets.
Seems to work ok.
Although I did have fun last night just spamming my mortar at people who were camping on the hills outside.
 
Yeah a large mag LMG with bi-pod and a good funnel point in one of the tunnels and and ammo pack next to you and you just go crazy.
I've found a couple of good spots but it depends on the game and where the enemy are coming from. Some rounds I've got 40-50 kills and others I get about 5.

People complained a lot about Metro too in BF3 yet it was voted as a map to bring over to BF4...they are basically in the game purely to level up by getting ribbons and kills with guns.
 
Yep

here are the release notes :

Anybody having problems with getting ribbons? specifically melee. Trying to do the bronze assignment and I've got 8 ribbons but it doesn't matter how many knife kills I get in a match I just don't get the ribbons (although it does make the sound with no ribbon display when I get to the required amount in game). Frustrating me immensely.

I've put in 150+ hours or something and have NO melee ribbons. lol.
I sometimes remember to knife maybe 1 person every few rounds but 99.9% of the time I just shoot them without thinking.

Wanted to get all the medals and will quie easily without trying but this melee one is the only one where I'll have to really go out of my way to get. Probably won't bother as I'll get bored trying to get that many!

Generally I'd just shoot people too, but much to my 'skill levels' detriment, I want to get all of the weapons/tags that I can. It's the only bronze I don't have.

The game is just plain broke (although I also use that when I just can't do something).
 
its not at all

Its a complex system thats driven around a target score per minute, target KD ratio, and a target kill per minute value.

The closer or above you get to that value, the more skill you gain. Spend all game camping as a sniper and you'll lose it.

Players who consistently play nothing but domination will have very high skill ,since that has good score per minute, good kills per minute. Those who play conquest more tactiaclly will have a much lower skill. Its not really representative of skill at all.

How does the skill system work? I am division one for most classes and tank and helicopters yet my skill is only around 180 mark.

The divisions and skill rating do not work. I wouldn't take any notice of them as they mean nothing.

I was division 1 in jets with 7 kills after my first couple of AS rounds.

It works in the sense that the more you do, the higher your rating but because it's so dependent on the team you're with, the game mode you play and the style you play then it really is worthless.

I've gained MVP when Sniping yet my skill went down -20. And others who were 10 places lower in the scoreboard went up +5-10 so yeah it's kind of pointless

Shame really as i like comaring with mates as a little bi of light hearted competition
 
Skill is based on kills per minute, K: D ratio and score per minute.

if you were sniping you probably had quite low kills per minute which is why it went down. Stupid stat really.
 
It is, which is why I don't care about it so much.

Also having a problem with the kill streak of 10, managed to get a kill streak of about 13 last night, registered as 3. Vexing.
