Why did Westie get suspended then? Can't be because he called BF4 a nawty word, I have done a lot worse.

Sry didn't get on last night, was watching TV in a post Harvester coma!
 
Either I've suddenly got **** at this game, or there seem to be an increasing number of hackers out.

Got head-shotted constantly by one guy yesterday at long range with an mg4. Not impossible, but too consistent. Low and behold metabans record.

Another guy, support with DMR +FLIR + smoke grenades. Head shot, Head shot, Head shot.. Again got form on metabans.

I wouldn't mind so much if the only kick I saw from PB last night was me as I didn't realise there had been an update.

I had a seemingly indestructible tank on CTE.....and by "I", I mean I was shooting at one that didn't blow up!

using the RPG I put 2 rockets square into the tanks arse, then a following two square into the side. each hit only did 18-23 damage....wtf?! thought one to the arse is supposed to be 45/50? o.O at my rate was going to take 5+ RPGs to take out a tank. BS! :p also he was solo so not getting reps from anyone :\

don't think it helped he also got told off in the TV forum for posting a spoiler on tonight's game of thrones.
 
Anyone here in the same boat as me?

Borrowed my mates Origin account with this and played for a few hours about a week ago, can't say i'm all that impressed.

Played a game of Conquest in a map with a crashed satellite dish in the middle which was O.K but nothing special, after that I think I played on one of the worst maps made in history. It was some flooded city with rooftop access and canals to swim though. No consistency and an absolute mess of a map, I just off a high building and dove under the water to swim underneath some stuff, it seems that the BF4 soldiers are super human as i'm pretty sure I stayed under for 10 or so minutes swimming around without drowning.

I much proffer BF3 to BF4. I think BF3 actually looks better and more detailed even with the blue filter that's constantly on, the hit reg and overall feel actually feels smoother too and the maps are a hell of a lot better. On the plus side BF4 ran fine for me on DX11 with 13.12 drivers, no idea why people are complaining about performance here to be honest.

doesn't sound like you wanted to give it much of a chance if "i could swim for too long underwater" was one of the top criticisms that came to mind when you wrote this post.

I'm not being defensive - feel free to hate the game. Its only a game after all. But I would give it more of a chance.
 
I don't hate it, I played a couple more maps after it but again wasn't impressed. Also that flooded level... why just why.

Also don't like the leaning and I was really looking forward to trying it. Any normal game would use Q/E to lean but it BF4 you have to grope the edge of a wall/object and slowly edge out like you're a filthy voyeur.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a 'bad' game I just thought it would be better than BF3 but it isn't imo.
 
You can turn the leaning off quite easily.

There are lots of improvements in BF4 over BF3. The vehicle game play is much more balanced, they don't dominate infantry nearly as easily as they do in BF3.

The reduced suppression is a bonus, and there's lots of nice touches in there like the partial revive system that stops medics spamming revives for easy points and assists counting as kills when you do most of the damage. The gun balance is much better too. There is no one weapon that the try hards use like there was with the M16 in BF3. The level of gun customization is better too, with more camos and no one setup that beats all the other as was the case in BF3.

Infantry combat as a whole isn't as smooth in BF4, but the upcoming changes being tested in the community test environment will address that.

There are lots of improvements in BF4 over BF3, Its just a shame its taken us this long to get to a point where by we don't have a massive list of "buts". There still is one, but its massively decreased over what it was at launch.
 
Very valid points, problem is he's like level 4-5 so everything is still locked. Will defiantly play it some more in the future I think, is there any decent maps I should be looking out for specifically?

I'm wondering if there's also DM servers like in BF3 where I can level his weapons/unlocks faster.
 
the best way to rank up in BF4 is domination.

Lots and lots of points as everybody is close together like in team deathmatch, but you can actually play as a squad and spawn on each other, take objectives etc..

If you play the objectives properly you can earn more points than in TDM.
 
As FrOdders says, there are a few issues with bf4 at present. If the changes being tested in the cte beta version are implemented into the full game, it should improve it an awful lot. I have been pretty critical of some aspects of the game. But at the core there is a great game trying to break out.
 
Ok since I've been having a couple of problems with Virgin media I put BF down to that, but my problems have now been fixed with them and I'm still getting rubber banding with a ping in-game of 13ms on a 100MB line, is this a BF4 problem then?

Yeah I get the same, some servers are fine, some laggy.

Still "a few" issues in the game they are addressing.

Seen a big increase the last couple of nights (maybe a new version of a hack out) - been playing on a 24x7 64 player locker server and its at the point you can tell by watching other players on your own team as they repeatedly get confused by their wallhack/esp and try to shoot people outside on the snowy area from i.e. the B flag area lol.
