Played Domination all night last night for the first time and it was just that, complete Domination.
We won 13/14 matches.

First couple were close then a mate joined, then another mate joined and then Spooky joined and by then it was just a slaughter.
Had to stop taking points to let it last a bit longer to get more kills.

Was quite fun and a change from the larger modes. Caspien and Firestorm are too big mind for Domination as the servers were not completely full

I don't think they're on the store anymore tbh, I think it's nades n shotguns now.

bummer. i have the grenades, and almost all of the shotty's unlocked already. ugh.

I'm glad they've finally admitted that the coding is terrible... however their tickrate is still a joke.

When they talk about how many symbols they have to start adding IN GAME to tell you how much they are losing information, you know theirs a pretty big problem.

Are these the shortcut packs?

I only managed to bag the knives and grenades shortcut packs. Yeah. I dont ever play recon so a dmr shortcut pack would have been nice. Shame I missed it!

 

[antijoke]

I saw a pistol whilst browsing the marketplace so I grabbed it, not sure if it should have been free or not, lol.

I will have to look for the shotguns one.

edit: ********, looks like I missed it by a day. Oh well.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

They are only now getting around to looking and fixing the netcode.

I'm glad they've finally admitted that the coding is terrible... however their tickrate is still a joke.

where did you get this info from?

i cannot see anything in the patch notes about fixing the issues, unless i've missed them from the quick scan i done.

knives?

never seen that one, i got DMR's, shotguns, grenades and pistols, want the sniper rifle one though if it's ever released.

scrap that, i haven't got all the knives. just the second one in the list. all i've had so far are grenades and pistols!

 

[antijoke]

is the DMR unlock still up?

According to the BF site it was only until the 4th March.

I didn't even see the DMR one, and I'm premium on the XB1.

 

[Mobius 1]

i don't have premium yet anyway, so i wouldn't have been able to grab the DMR kit. ah well. cheers for that!

From their blog, i'll try and find the link.

 

[^TANK^]

It is a separate patch you have to manually select from the store.

I only got the grenades patch and the shotguns kits which I had anyway. Do you think they will release the knifes and DMR's again as I only have a few of each.

In their battlelog thingy?

On the home screen you sometime get threads they have started telling us what they are working on, they have a whole section just up purely talking about everything that encompasses "netcode" and each problem they are starting to work on now.

Hence why I was a big miffed they are only working on it now.

Here we go.

cheers - reading now

hopefully we get another patch soon then, ideally tick rate needs to be upped to at least 50 though.

 

[JoeBoi]

I've noticed they also added the achievements/trophies and assignments for Naval Strike with the latest patch.

the start screen is no longer a rainy city, but a destroyed carrier.

Yea, would be good, but I winder what that means?...is that more work on the servers that EA doesnt want ( wear and tear etc?)..or not having the bandwidth for it?.

IM not sure what it involves to be honest.

it's basically like a internet refresh rate.

it would require more bandwidth and more processing power and ram, etc i imagine.

i don't see how it's a big problem i used to play CSS 10 years ago on 66-100 tick servers.

so 10 years on and we are getting 16 tick servers on PS4 is a joke.
