Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

The main thing which I am very underwhelmed by is the "big" levolution events, they really aren't that good or game/map changing tbph. I dare to say that the smaller things i.e. gate, car etc. alarms + shooting lights out are better for gameplay.

Floodzone with the damn collapsing makes a nice difference, however, most of the battles always take place on the rooftops so kind of pointless.....

Siege is probably the best for the levolution event.

I havnt used the zuni rockets yet but seem to be getting killed by them. Anyone tell me what theyre about , best way to use them etc
 
Anyone have issues with jet controls?

I've set my xbox 360 control left trigger to slow the jet down, but when I press it, the aircraft can barely turn. This isn't normal surely?

By default down on the left analog stick is to slow down and up on the left analog is accelerate. Can I ask why you would want to change this? What would up/down on the left analog stick do then? As pitch up/down is on the right analog stick.

Genuinely curious :)

But no, if you have decelerate on the left trigger you should be able to turn faster. Slow down as you enter the turn and accelerate out of the apex for the fastest turns.

I tried them out for a bit with the boat but wasn't too fussed on them, much prefer tv missile :p :D

They are pretty much like rocket pods which the attack heli has but better overall, fire more at one time plus do more damage to infantry, iirc less damage to heavy tanks though (not 100% sure)

All depends on your play style, if you like getting in close and personal then use them, I prefer to be on the safe side and take the boats etc. out without even being in their sights/range :D :p
 
Can't even get into a game, server browser just endlessly asks for plugins :confused:

It doesn't work with IE 11 unfortunately, you will have to use another browser. Dice/EA are aware of the issue, I've seen then post about it on official forums. Who knows when a fix is incoming. I wanted to use IE 11 for Battlelog also.

When I open the 64-bit exe it just keeps loading a webpage - Battlelog or something? :confused:

This is how Battlefield works since BF3. There is no in game server browser or launcher, you launch from Battlelog in your browser. There is an option to start the single player or search for multiplayer game from Battelog.

That's how the game works - the battlelog web page is where you customise kits, browse servers, manage friends lists etc.

When you join a game it starts the actual game program and puts you straight onto the server.

For single player, choose the "campaign" tab in battlelog.
 
Anyone else having a problem where in a game you will see things unlocked, I even saw you have been promoted pop up but when the match finishes nothing is saved, nothing unlocked and no battle rank promotion.

Might give this game a miss for a few weeks and see how it plays out, right now it is just not very enjoyable.

yup same thing here, getting pretty annoying
 
Each time I get promoted it pops up about 3 times in a row.

Unfortunately just the one promotion though :D

Thought it was only me! This really annoys me..

  • I've had the server disconnect a few times. Annoying.
  • I've had the DX error just once, when I had my GPUs overclocked. Set to default and hasn't happened since.
  • On the dam level, I have had the sound mysteriously start mixing incorrectly (all background noise cuts out and I an only hear an isolated rocket/tank/voice for a few seconds)

It's a lot of fun and the maps are growing on me. But they do seem overall smaller.
 
Couldn't work out why my squads kept emptying then realised there's an option for 'squad with joining friend' in the options. If your squad is full, with pubs or people that you're already friends with and another friend joins the game you will leave your squad and join your friend that has just joined. When you have twenty people in your clan/group along with all the crashes people have been having then it can mean you change squad three or four times a round. That got turned off pretty quickly.

Yup had the same thing, when the Damn came down for the first time I thought "wooot massive water incoming" but all I saw was some rocks falling and crumbling :S Seems like they put all the effort into Shanghai and everything else got a second thought.

Do all the maps even have Levolution? come to thing of it I cant remember seeing some of them :(

Paracel Storm has that ship crashing onto the beach, I thought when i first saw it ruddy hell Costa Concordia all over.

I get that too, as far as i'm aware everyone does, though i'm not sure if its by design or not! lol :)

Yeah that would have been epic if they did that and the water completely levelled the map and changed it completely :(

All maps have some form of levolution event, however, are VERY tiny and literally only affect one flag/part of the map

zavod - that chimney thing falling down and making a hole in the ground between c and d in the middle

dawnbreaker - the bridge at c collapsing

operation locker - the watch tower (C or B point in the middle) collapsing

paracel - ship crashing (probably the second best one)

golmud railway - not sure what happens on that map :p Haven't seen anything for it yet :/

hainan resort - the sides of the hotel collapse if it gets bombed enough
 
By default down on the left analog stick is to slow down and up on the left analog is accelerate. Can I ask why you would want to change this? What would up/down on the left analog stick do then? As pitch up/down is on the right analog stick.

It's the same as I had it on BF3 - which I thought was default. I can't actually remember what does what :) without it being in my hand. I use both analogue sticks just for movement though.

Do you know what by default the left trigger does?
 
The railway has ied's scattered about the roadsides, you can follow the wires and detonate them using a trigger or explode them with grenades.

That's the "big" levolution event!? :/

I done that a few times, hardly map/game changing is it?

Terrible map that anyway, way too open and just so bland, they must have made that in like 5 minutes.....
