oh btw, I can't stress just how much better a red switch mech. keyboard is for gaming!
No longer do my fingers get cramped/tired, switches are nice and light/easy to activate/press + I just feel more responsive overall especially with flying helis now!
If you are a biggish gamer, mech. keyboards are definitely worth the money.
Not to mention they feel soooooooo nice to use
I have a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid and personally I love it. It's awesome. Took a bit of getting used to when typing as it's a different feel to a conventional keyboard, but as Nexus said there is no going back once you get a mechanical board.
Plus I like the fact mine is super compact and doesn't have a keypad - ideal as I'm used to using a Mac keyboard and it saves a lot of space on the desk (photo in signature).
Absolutely agree with this. There is a very noticeable difference in quality of the maps - perhaps they got the work experience folks to make some of the crap maps?
Exact same keyboard as me!
(except I got the Tk version) It is AMAZING!So compact and sleek! Takes a bit of getting use to the num pad/delete etc. setup though!
Id be interested in a mechanical keyboard, if I didn't routinely thump this and send the odd key sailing across the room. Sent the enter key flying the other day and it nutted the cat who was laying on the bed and sent him running downstairs. 
Not played this today, any better?

Get one of these instead
It took me about 2 or so months to decide what to get, really didn't want to spend that much on a "keyboard" so was probably going to go with the corsair raptor k30 but thought "**** it" and went with the cm storm quickfire rapid tk red switch and honestly couldn't be happier, my only complaint is the noise, when bottoming out the keys it is pretty damn loud compared to membrane! The build quality of the cm storm is amazing too, feels so solid!
I will be posting a review of this sometime next week
Not any better at all for me today, crashing has been terrible and ALWAYS when I am doing well, still absolutely fuming about the crash earlier on paracel storm
Hit reg./netcode has been incredibly dodgy today too:
- shot sooooo many people in the face and no reg.
- was looking at a corner (operation locker), I died instantly from a pistol and the guy hadn't even looked around the corner yet, was only just coming around the corner when it switched to the kill cam thing.........
Have got a ton of xp boost stuff now and even got a 200% one but there is no point using them when I am getting a crash every round or so
Tried rush mode earlier and I quite enjoyed it, was better than most maps in bf 3 but still preferring conquest/domination. As said earlier, too many snipers/campers ruin the game mode/map as usual, hardly any one was attacking

You probably jumped in one someone was using for an entire round and popped out to repair
I kid of course, this happens too much.They must be blind or oblivious or in automatic mode they just click, drive and not give a damn and b-line charge for the closest enemy. It annoys me when people take helo's for themselves (scout/transport and attack) just to get on a roof. It tells you a lot about how selfish a person they are from how selfish a gamer they are.
Though I do ask for people not to take up scout skid slots if they aren't doing anything productive like repairing, otherwise if I try drop them off on a roof. Sometimes I self repair by changing seat and repairing as it falls then some other nugget jumps in and starts flying.
Only once has a person ever realised what they've done, the rest just face plant directly into the enemy AA.
Air is useless in the game if you actively have people trying to kill that asset, it usually takes 2-4 people depending on what you have and the need for resupply and multiple launches, what it comes down to is getting them to use their defensive perk and then giving it everything before they repair, get out of range and/or break a mobility hit. It is a shame however when a server lets you completely own in a helo without issue; 42-0 from start to finish is entirely down to the fact I had people repairing me and the enemy had virtually no AA.
The one thing I do feel is too powerful is active radar missiles for the AA, because of the delay there's not enough warning and it's too easy to shoot air down now, it's not even skillful, it's point and click from your spawn to their spawn.

I am in tears right now!
On with westie, wes, kiwi etc. etc.
We were absolutely destroying and...........game disconnected, something went wrong.
As kiwi says, we think the admin probably did something as we were controlling the air, sea and land, just destroying everything in sight.
I must have at the very least 35+ kills and no deaths with a **** load of point plus ranked up
Oh that ****** me off. Destroying infantry with the mini gun as well as vehicles, game is nearly over (below 100) and the server disconnects.
On another note. I don't like the Railway map, too vehicle favoured (reminds me of Heavy Metal), i like a balance of vehicle and infantry combat, which is why i like Paracel Storm and Siege of Shanghai.
Besides Operation Lockdown (no vehicles) and that Railway map, i haven't played the others enough to really get a feel of the vehicle and infantry balance.
Edit: Must admit Nexus, Paracel Storm Rush was fantastic, felt like BC2 style Rush.

Javelin still seems to ignore flares. Quite annoying, only takes one targeter and one javelin operator to keep the skies clear!! :/
Yeh I decided to start playing some conquest large games last night and I couldn't last more than 10 minutes before the game froze, crashed, or gave me the 'Battlefield has stopped responding'.
And then after that, when I try to play again, it tells me it can't communicate with BF4 and to close the process, even though the process is gone from task manager.
Apparently, the process is still there, but in a 'crashed' state, so it isn't visible in task manager, and trying to close it through cmd prompt results in an access denied error. Restarting the PC seemed to fix it, but I saw people online who said even restarting it didn't fix it. And then they were told to go into Safe Mode and manually delete the files and reinstall!
Oh to play a game from EA without game breaking bugs..
I managed to get an APC stuck in a skip at the flag near the Chinese spawn in Lancang Dam conquest yesterday, I must admit to being under the influence of alcohol on this occasion. It seems the skip provided an impenetrable shield to the sides of my APC but left me unable to move and vulnerable from the front and back, but at least in the flag capture range.
Was the Javelin laser guided? Which flares do nothing for surely.
Stealth camo for harder lock on and decent maneuverability would be the key here maybe.
can someone tell me when i was playing this last week through VPN etc. it was running great, could play busy server with everything high or ultra and still get high framerates (70-100). Now, a week later, the game runs like poo, having to turn settings to medium to get framerates high enough (40+) just to be playable, same drivers, same hardware, Oc'd 2500 to 4.5Ghz and 780Gtx. Its crackin me up!!!!!
I think the only one that you may have missed are Siege of Shanghai and Hainan Resort. I think resort doesn't play as good as the rest but its a nice map.
I agree though, really looking forward to the next DLC.
Regarding the use of the transport helicopter; there are two maps where I will do this every time: Zavod (two central points) and Siege of Shanghai. Here's why:
- I get my entire squad, who are often on teamspeak to the central points
- On these maps, controlling the central points are important. Esp on Siege as controlling C allows you to get to most points in the game
- The point of this chopper is to transport people
When there are mini birds and attack choppers to use then why do you guys get so angry when I use the transport chopper for doing what it was intended to do. It's basically useless accept for transporting people.

Sniper limit and slow vehicle spawn is great,as for hardcore it can get reallyy annoying when you die to one brust of gun fire from miles away,but it's better than unloading a whole mag into a player killing him and getting killed by his friend as you reload.Stuff like that don't happen in hardcore you can take a whole squad down with one mag if you get the drop on them
