***The Official Battlefield 4 Thread***

So this was my game experience of Naval Strike last night.


In that same game I ran the system performance test :


Game experience should have been perfect ! Hope they hurry up and fix it, and fix both Xbox one and PS4. Nobody really seems to be talking about rubber banding on Xbox one.

No they can't

that's one of the problems everybody has been talking about. When you monitor how much bandwidth the servers use, they use less with their 64 player conquest games than CS:GO does with 6v6 games.

not talking about private BF4 servers but private PC dedicated servers in general.

our clan had one on CSS and the guy who ran it could change the tick rates as well as many other settings and reboot the server whenever he wanted to refresh it so it was completely clutter free.

iirc our server was 100 tick rate and anyone trying to play on it with a tick rate less than 100 was automatically kicked within a minute.
 
Well that is bad frodders! On ps3 that never happens, and I have a standard copper wire BB connection.

Sounds like a good idea...

In all fairness I love Metro though, I think it's a much better map on rush though.

When rentable servers become available, I hope we are given the option to remove commanders completely.

Commander mode to me is the thing that ruins this game the most.
(especially Rush anyway which is my preference).

Not really sure how you're meant to flank to support your team with constant UAVs in the air and 5 enemy troops just standing waiting on your icon to come around the corner.

Commander needs to be removed from Rush or the game mode is pointless.
Obliteration is too short, so that's pointless.
CQ doesn't work 64 player so that's pointless

It seems each game mode has something that breaks them except TDM or SDM or DOM - neither of which I buy BF for!

+1 to commander, it's ruined the game. Constant UAV spam, it's just a game of playing by your map now.

They could even just implement very simple fixes to sort it out if they want to keep it that badly.
Make the cool down on UAV 5x as long - that tiny change would make a big difference and force Commander to think more about what they are doing.

At least between scans your team would have enough time to make 1 or 2 big pushes without UAV up.

Thats CSS

CSS uses the source engine which has excellent connection options at both client side and server side. It enables you to change the tick rate at the server level, you as a client can change how often you send updates to the server and how often you receive them. You can also change the amount of interpolation etc..

None of which is present in BF4. You can't change any of this apart from adjust that network slider that nobody really understands but apparently adjusts the amount of interpolation.

As I said above, CS:GO servers use more bandwidth with their 6v6 games than battlefield 4 does with 64 player conquest games.

I've got 40Mb/s BT infinity with 10 Mb/s upload and it still runs like that despite the ping and packetloss being rock solid. Its just down to poor resource allocation by whoever specified the servers at EA / DICE / Server Hosting company. I can play 20 man domination without issues. You still get the stupid delay issues where you die instantly, and get shot by people looking the other way, but no rubber banding.
 
do they ever reboot their servers? or is it not needed these days?

usually something to do with memory leaks or something where if a server has been continuously running after a while it just gets bogged down.

maybe rebooting them once a day at non peak time, doesn't take too long to reboot them either way should be 5 minute downtime at maximum, possibly as low as a minute depending on how fast the servers are obviously.

the servers just aren't good enough for 64 player, if they aren't going to upgrade them then they should decrease it to 48-54 players or whatever they can handle

They already said they are sorting the servers, we just have to wait and it will probably get done just in time for BC3 or whatever the next game is :(

do you really trust them to fix it or like you say by the time it eventually is fixed you have gone off it.

honestly watchdog would be out best bet to get it fixed ASAP, EA sorted fifa out pronto after it was on their show.

i had been waiting over 6 months for the patch which came out 2 weeks after it was shown on watchdog. coincidence? i think not.

amazing how they can fix things once they are hit with bad publicity and shown on a major FTA show.
 
I doubt it will get fixed soon but in all honesty it doesn't really affect me as I am not too keen on conquest due to the low fps you get anyway. I usually play SDM and due to the low amount of players it doesn't lag.

Getting in touch with watchdogs may help but unless enough people do it they won't take any notice.....I'm trying to get sony to repair an Xperia Z because of a known issue with the charging port being poor quality and breaking and I mailed watchdogs a while ago after others had done the same and not heard a thing back.

The fifa following is massive comapered to the BF series, Those guys even go as far to rob peoples accounts for those pack things lol
 
How come you only get bonus xp for certain service stars? I don't get them for conquest or for commander, but I'm getting them for rush and the 4 main classes. only just started playing rush after I tried it over 80 levels ago and hated it. Now it's not too bad actually. not sure about bonuses on other modes, I've mainly stuck to conquest.
 
Ugh only got this game back a few week ago from Sony...
I'am totally useless at this game now lol was getting decent at it before my ps4 breaking :/

I felt like a beast with the L85 and AK5C have them been nerfed?

AK5C is still one of the best carbines in the game. Very low recoil and very easy to use

Have your ruined it by fitting dodgy attachments ? what loadout do you use with the AK5 ?
 
Yet another day where the enemy are all sponges, empty a full clip into someones back and they turn around and kill me while im reloading. Im sure most games i get a bb gun.
