I've not played in a week, which is unusual for me.

I just can't be bothered putting up with the rubber banding anymore.

We had no joke less than a weeks worth of sun last year :mad:

Booked to go away in June, was thinking it was going to be yet another year with no summer, but it's brilliant today and was good yesterday too.

No idea where you are but where I am it was a great summer last year; nice and warm, mostly quite dry too. Yesterday's weather was nice, doesn't look like we're getting a repeat of it today though.

Just play smaller games like Domination. You don't get rubber banding on them. They're never going to fix the problems. The game has been out nearly 7 months and it's still as bad as it was on release.
 
It's all about Rush for me and my mates. We sometimes try Conquest to see if we luck out into a server that works but rarely happens.
Rush runs well 99% of the time for us and all in all it's my fave mode anyway when the teams play properly.


Anyone else worked out how the SHARE function works yet?

Mine just seems completely random whether it records or not.
I played yesterday and right before coming off had an epic RPG shot.
Fired at a chopper, it pulled up and someone jumped out - my RPG smacked straight into them and their body went flying.
Went to view it later but the last recording was about 2 hours before that point....

Then there is a 15min session from February for some reason an no others. 9or and 1 screetshot).



Tried to do some gun assignments yesterday and was awful. F2000, AS VAL - tried both and barely got any kills. Hated them.
 
Personally I find the whole SHARE lark a gimmick. I used it once and haven't felt the need to share anything else ever again, no matter how epic I considered something I did (there are plenty of "epic" vids on youtube anyway). The only reason I would want the share option would be if I was a pro gamer and making money out of it like some guys seem to be. Alas, I don't do that, I just wanna play man! :)
 
rush doesn't rubber band but its a terrible game mode on BF4. As soon as you get a commander in the game spamming UAVs it becomes pointless.
 
that test server we were playing on was good up until those 2 HUGE lag spikes where 5 seconds was lost 2 times in a row.

it's a server issue, can only be fixed by upgrading servers which means more money being pumped into upgrading, maintaining them and providing more bandwidth for them.

something EA will never do IMO.

if the don't fix the servers/bugs, i may decide to just stick with COD in future, this game is a lot better but the lag and the amount of bugs ruins it completely.

also what are you supposed to do against people that get to the middle of the map quickly jump in the artillery and then drive it to their own base and spam the 2 conquest flags near their home base?

had a guy who done that the other night and was impossible to get to him and easy kills/points for him all game.

How long has it said at the main menu that they are going to reset the servers every Tuesday?

first time i have heard of this, it was something i had initially suggested as a way of clearing all the crap out the servers so they run optimally.

stops memory leaks and resources getting clogged up, etc.

my suggestion was once every 24 hours though.

They are very weak and can be easily taken out from the air.

Battlefield is a team game and it needs your pilots to play a part in that. If your team's pilots suck however, there's not much you as an infantryman can do.

Which map was this on ? Zavod ?

it was russian map iirc.

the one with the train yard, tanks everywhere and the 2 buildings in the middle with the 2 tiers of roofs above it where snipers usually go, or people drop nades onto the flags from.

i cannot use air vehicles so i tried rpg'ing him but he went behind cover after the first shot and then jumped into a tank he had sitting there and took me out.

i was as far as i could go before going into the red zone, therefore he was well inside his spawn as he was a good 50-100m away

True the maps are not as well set up for Rush but there is typically 5-6 of us on and as we played BF3 together and are all mates we work well together so we can overcome the commander issue fairly often.
As long as the other team members are at leats average at the game. If they really suck then even 5-6 of us isn't enough.

I find most maps are fine though it's just the odd MCOM - one of the Naval Strike maps is the worst where you attack from the water but don't have an attack boat or attack chopper which is just crazy.
Then on Gulf of Oman you get 2 Attack boats AND 1 attack chopper yet the objective is too far from the shore for the boats to help *facepalm* - they really musn't check these things.


90% of the time it's OK though when with a good group. Defending is a lot easier though...not sure we have ever lost playing defense.

That's Zavod alright.

There is a lot of cover at the back of the map for those. Very hard to get them out of the uncap once they go in there.

You have the same problem with the enemy AA in those maps. They can just sit in the red zone shooting at the choppers all day and remain untouched.

One way I have seen round it was a quad bike C4 kill. Load the bike up with C4, drive it towards the artilery. At the red zone, jump off, leaving the bike to trundle forward into the red zone. If he's visible just wait until it rolls up to him then detonate the C4. *BOOM*
 
I quite like naval strike but BF4 is just meh most of the time, i started playing bf3 again and just felt this is how a bf game should be, OM is pure carnage and most of the maps are better than bf4 maps.

so a BF game should be pure carnage?

OM style?
