***The Official Battlefield 4 Thread***

Its useless with shotguns, because if you're doing shotguns right you're probably playing lockers, where it messes with your target prioritisation and will drag you in the direction of the guy at the bottom of the corridor, not the one two foot in front of you but right at the edge of your FOV !

I find it easier just to turn it off.

Maybe I just suck at using shotguns then. lol.

Oddly, I can bring up the sight and get a headshot really quickly but stick a shotgun in my hand and I fire 4 shots, 2 at each side of the person I'm aiming at. No idea why it happens but my aim just goes all over the damn place.

Bene fiddling around with the controller sensitivity a lot.
I have my mouse sensitivity turned up crazy high and i'm used to that but still on 40% with controller. Tried it on test range at 100% and it was rather humerous trying to shoot the targets!!
 
which shotgun are you using ?

The 870 is the one to use due to the number of pellets per shell. Its great for one hit kills. Equip fleschette, full choke, coyote sight and a tac light and wreak havoc.
 
Been trying various ones. Dau (?), Saiga, QBZ. Don't think I've really used the 870 though so I'll try that next time.

I just always seem to have that scenario where I equip a shotgun, then enemies are always 200ft away. Then I go back to assault and get into multiple situations where a shotgun could have got me 3-4 easy kills instantly. typical!

I'll try the 870 because I do like to get behind enemy lines and take people out quickly. Harder to do on BF4 though with the UAV spams
 
the semi auto shotguns really only work at close range, and very often need more than one shot to kill.

Pump action are definitely more fun.

Cool. Will give it a try over the weekend when I'm next on. Rarely use them so hadn't really tried most of them out properly.

Going to be sending Infamous back tomorrow so won't get anything else until next week now so will hit BF4 pretty hard as I have Thurs-Mon off and only have plans Thurs & Sat night.

I don't find the aim assist on xbox one that much of a help tbh.

Some people make out like its an aimbot, in reality its nothing of the sort and just gently shoves you in the direction of a person who runs across your field of view. It won't track a target for you, just point you in the direction the person went.

Same here, I have it turned on but I can't say I ever notice it aiming for me.

It just sways your view a bit in their general direction I've found. Only time I've found it a bit annoying is when you are shooting someone in a big group of people, like on Operation Metro or that other map like where people are always grouped up.
 
Grind it out until you get the active radar missiles as the fighter jet.

Best thing to use the attack jet for is with rocket pods on vehicles and boats.fly up high and do a long slow drop shooting all the way down hold the brake constantly as you descend
 
Get up close behind people to give them as little time to react as possible. You also need to aim as best as possible as they will only hit if they get near them
 
Are the classes set up differently, like health/accuracy etc.?
If I use assault with a shotgun I do pretty terrible, it seems slower and less accurate. But if I use recon with the same shotgun I seem to do brilliantly, Just seems to reload quicker and nearly always OHK with really good accuracy.

May just be me thinking they're set up different, but I don't change my play style and they seem different. I thought maybe assault gets less health because he has medikits. Probably just me though....

Edit: them videos really annoy me, if I get into the situation with multiple enemies my gun just lags and wont fire/reload and then when I die I hear my 5/6 shots but they don't work when I'm alive.
