i have mentioned for a long time you need to find servers that are right for you. you find a good serve with decent reg play on there. that is what u do and my reg is as good as it will get.

If its hardware based then that would fit. I guess those servers need upgrading too then. Presumably BF4 needs more resources than BF3 and its caught meany people including EA out.

I usually get good reg but I stay away from the >48 player servers as they always lag. It's the main reason why I seldom join blacklines et al as they always play 64 player and I CBA with that sort of lag. Shame, as I would like to play with more peps :)

In saying that some servers do feel slightly more snappy than others. I find the difference between 20ms and 50ms is huge so try to stay away from those servers.
 
it's because we're in vehicles xD more people to shoot at with our vehicles :3

like 32vs 32 and trying to find people to kill in a LB can be a nightmare.....64 players though..... everyone seems to run about like ants xD
 
So Chipmunk-Slayer and I took our shiny new hovercraft for a spin this evening. I was at the wheel and leisurely flying around without a care in the world, only to find Nexus was following us... FML

Lol :D

I was doing the same with my rhib boat and then see this hovercraft speeding towards our base so thought I would say hello with my mini gun :D :p

Hmm... Maybe it wasn't then. Nexus will remember I'm sure :o

It was either momo or manju

I've had enough of the AC130...

same, it does absolutely nothing but ruin the maps that it is on!

Wish more servers would disable commander mode, game is much better without the constant UAV scans etc.

This :p :D

But yeah, I also would prefer to play 48 but everyone else prefers 64 :( :p
 
I don't care how many I play against, I just want to rape the server regardless hehehe

Joined Naval Assault for a few games last night, couldn't really get into it. Not sure if it was the damn washing machine driving me bonkers, the dishes falling off the draining board from the vibration of said washing machine, the washing then needed to be taken out, the dinner to be eaten, misses nagging me about bills, car puncture earlier in the day, my eyes burning OR THAT DAMN F*KING GUNSHIP :mad::mad:

It all left a very nasty taste in my mouth all the same

I wish the server browser could filter out commander enabled servers. (like when you can put a x in the box rather than a tick.

I do actively look for servers without commander, or empty slots, when i remember! lol

Also, this...

-Increased the accuracy and direct hit damage of the AC130 40mm cannons. 40mm cannons can now be used to fire pinpoint shots in 2-3 round bursts, enabling them to provide accurate fire on infantry and vehicle targets. Their velocity has also been marginally increased to aid their accuracy.
-Increased the splash damage and range of the AC130 25mm cannons. These cannons now do approximately 50% more damage, in a slightly increased area of impact. The increased damage as well as increased suppression effects will allow the 25mm cannon to fill its role as an area of effect weapon against infantry.

....has made it even more rage inducing. Last night I got killed by the same guy who was just whoring the GS all round. Spent the whole game trying to keep the C flag on Lost Islands or take out it out, but my team were terribad.
 
There's no excuse for being raped by the gunship if you've a decent team.

Its horrendously easy prey even for jet pilots as poor as myself. two passes of the stealth jet and they're gone.

Take them down 3.4 times in a row and people stop bothering to spawn in it as they know they'll get hosed.

:D

I left after that round! It was LI too, so like 90% snipers. :rolleyes:

I know what your saying though, but is it me or do the NS maps not have much to counter the AC130..?
 
Problem is one or two NS maps don't have any jets :( EDIT: and in carrier assault game mode, there are no jets lol......


But yup, when we have a jet, I am just continuously taking it down now, satisfying killing the little ****ers who use it but extremely boring just going for it and the enemy jets the entire round :(

Just wish DICE would remove the damn thing from the game, but will never happen as they seem to think having everything possible in one game/map is the best :rolleyes: Ever heard the saying "less is more"......
 
Oh yeah and the fact it can be insta spawned again is beyond retarded. I honestly would rather they insta spawn the Cruise missile than the AC 130
 
I was relying on TV missiles to take down the gunship on Wave Breaker last night. It was slow and risky but about the only method that worked. Switching to Burst Cannon on the Attack Boats might work as well.

Only problem with relying on jets is when you have a team with both the gunship and a good jet pilot. Then it just get stupidly difficult to get the thing down.
 
I quite like the gunship to be fair.... yea it can be a right pain in the arse but it is fun and a handy asset :) and it can be shot down by most things :p pretty sure I was taking it down with a rhib boat before :p

with regards to the damage, I'm glad they've increased the 25mm chain gun as that thing was sooooooo pityful against anything , needed about 10 seconds of fire to take down one inf xD :p the others don't need more damage... just need dice/ea to fix the ******* damage boxes on certain maps where the large cannon just doesn't seem to hit anything, even direct hits... nope...... no damage.... not even splash :(

I think thats fine though. It gives the stealth jet a role and if your pilots are not good enough then, well that's BF.

Per Nexus comment, adding the AC130 to maps with no stealth jet is just dumb.

In other news I have started to play about in the tank on ZVOD (still my fav map) and its a whole lot of fun. Eyes get a little sore in thermal mode though.

Good point. I hadn't twigged that there was no jets on Nansha Strike

I haven't been playing much due to the horrific rubber banding on NS maps on console 64 player servers. I'll upload a video tonight of how bad it is.
 
Am I doing something wrong?

that why ya can't hit **** right there xD

lol yeah there a few things you need to do to get that to run, pretty sure there's like enable/allow flash/java for that page (when not had java on pingtest.net would not complete packetloss tests).

think you might also need to forward a port on the router?


could be talking out my arse but that's what I remember reading when I looked at that before (and in the end didn't bother lol)
 
It's the fact it seems to be on all the second assault maps (Metro excepted, naturally) and so far appears to be on all the NS (I keep thinking 2142 Northern Strike!) maps I've played on so far. It does very little to influence games IMO.
 
You need to enable your router to respond to ICMP/Ping, otherwise your router won't respond and you get that.

If your connection was really doing that you wouldn't be posting about it as you wouldn't be able to :p

Played a hefty amount of NS last night and after a while I was looking forward to going back to the vanilla maps. Do like the new maps but nice to have the variation.
