***The Official Battlefield 4 Thread***

Me and 4 mates played CTF last night and after every round the entire enemy team left after we kept winning 3-0. It's most certainly the mode that benefits most from team work. Mind you it was only 5 v 5 which is why we dominated so easily. Oddly, the server even elt us play 5 v 0 which was a bit daft. Had to find a full server in the end then ended up on the worst team in history because we lost 3-0 on Metro which technically should be impossible to capture the flag on. lol




The 10 kill streak one seems to only register when you land on the top tower in the same round. Had loads of 10 kill streaks but it still says 0/10 because I've never been on the tower in the same round it seems.

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.

It is from what I can see regarding divisions and vehicles, Overall Skill is how you described but from what I can see Your division for vehicles is based on the number of kills.

If I go to Battlelog it will tell me I need X amount of kills in X vehicle to move up a division.

That makes sense as I mainly play conquest and go for objectives not kills. Plus I've been playing sniper lately to unlock guns lol

yeah the divisions are different and just work on percentiles of people. For vehicles this is kills, for divisions in other stuff like K: D Ratio, SPM etc.. its based upon the percentile value of the metric in question.

As more and more players play the game, and more people appear in the leaderboards for jets / tanks etc.. you'll fall down the divisions. To stay in Division 1, you'll have to keep playing as everybody else moves up and more new people appear at the bottom of the leaderboards.

Anyone? :confused:

Also, try using the server browser on Battlelog. I've had much more success finding and joining games using the BL browser, than with the in-game browser.

Question: Has anyone unlocked the DPM6 camo? (the one that requires you to transport the CTF flag carrier in a helicopter)

Really want it, but due to only being able to find 64 man servers, I think you have to be incredibly lucky to co-ordinate actually getting a chopper to the flag carrier without getting shot down....

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ANYONE WANTING THIS...

You can do it in a tank!

Me and a mate both got it using a tank last night on Gulf of Oman.
Not sure if this it a bug/glitch but do it while you can as it's easy in a tank.
if you haven't got people on mic to do a co-ordinated run it's harder so you may have to find a half empty server.

I found choppers to be difficult as people know they are an easy way to get a flag so everyone carries stingers and there is always a mobile AA waiting for you.

So get it in the tank in case they patch it! :cool:

I found out accidently last night when it popped up so I let my mate transport me to double check and it popped for him too

Pro Tip! Thanks mate ;) Will be giving this a try later if anyone is around. Is there a minimum travel distance, or is it just a case of letting the flag carrier jump in?

No prob. Not sure if it's common knowledge or not but I just found out last night when I unlocked it by chance.

Not sure on distance but I picked him up right on their flag and took him right to our flag. So I think the criteria is to go from the enemy base to your base. May not need to be right on the flag though but can't clarify how far away you can be.
I was like 1 or 2 meters from both flag points so right on them.
 
WTF is up with the campaign saves on this game? It just doesn't seem to save at all. Everytime I quit and go back to continue with the campaign all my progress is gone. This game has been out for months and they still can't fix this? :/

:mad: I was proper raging and then was like "It's bloody SpookyWillow! The motherfluffer!" :p
You're lucky you were on the other team as our team was useless. First game I joined was Firestorm and we had 2 SQUADS sat in the mountains with spawn beacons and just sniping :mad:
 
Hehe out of all the players on the server it had to be you :D

Firestorm seems to be a lot worse for the snipers this time round, some guy kept killing me with the SRR from god knows where. I stick to inside buildings on that map if I can or just don't stop running lol
 
I literally get lag on every game, and I am getting fed up of it.

Are they actually ever likely to fix the lag on Xb1? Is it the servers, or netcode? What's the issue. The constant warping/lag/fps drops are really putting me off playing the game.
 
I get lag on the 64 man servers on the ps4 too, last night I was playing and everyone would freeze and sounds loop but I could still run around and 10 seconds later i'd go back to where I started and the game would carry on as normal.

It's so infuriating isn't it!! It's more like rubberbanding on the xb1 one, and I only play 64 man servers so appreciate there is more going on but they should still be able to fix it.
