Hardcore mode...for those who can't aim

surely it's for those who can't be bothered to aim more than once.

Hardcore mode...for those who can't aim

Couldn't be farther from the truth mate! Someone can't handle hardcore methinks!

 

[Greenja]

So I've steered clear of this the last few days as the crashes/disconnects were making me hate the game a little lol.

Has anything improved over the last couple days? Any new patches or anything?

Very frustrating because I really like the game when it works.

 

[Swinbag]

I'm really enjoying HC mode without hitmarkers at the moment, somehow feels a lot more satisfying - if not a little confusing at first

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

really getting bored of this now, 3 game sin a row started with instant crashes
No error messages just either locks up or loops sound.

Using Security Essentials and had disabled it to see if it made a difference

Razer Blackwidow is brilliant, love mine.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I was 27/0 in my jet last night had just unlocked the JDAM for attack jets and the server crashed.

****

I was 67/0 in a Helicopter and it did the same...

I was looking at that keyboard, which version did you get?

Mine was bought for £65 a while ago. It was a non back-lit keyboard, as i didn't think the extras on the Ultimate edition (£120) were worth it, but i regret it now with not getting a back-lit keyboard, despite i'm using an overhead daffodil lamp.

Hardcore mode...for those who can't aim

Hows that?

 

[Mockingbird]

Hows that?

I think the implication was "spray hard enough, and one stray round is enough to kill them".

Just tried to purchase it off the Mexican Origin store, but the payment wouldn't process. Very reluctant to pay full price for this... Although when the glaring issues are fixed, it looks to be rather good.

I had a friend try to do this a couple of days ago and he couldn't get it to work either, I think they have closed the loophole. He bought it from the Australian store for £26 instead apparently.

 

[Outline]

Apparently a server-side update just went live.

 

[Spektor]

Apparently a server-side update just went live.

R7
-Fixed two of the most common server crashes (All platforms)
-The "admin.say" command should now work properly (PC)
-The "vars.preset" command should now work better in conjunction with other vars settings (PC) (It is now easier for server admins to set a server preset)
-Fixed a bug in the queue system regarding GUID (PC)
-Fixed various minor bugs (PC)

Lets see what happens today then eh.

Quickfire Owners Club

Was thinking of getting this keyboard - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-001-CA&groupid=702&catid=2705&subcat=2706

But you guys speaking so highly of the Storm Quickfire is making it a more difficult choice

Corsair mech. keyboards do look and sound superb.

Main reasons I went with the cm storm:

- back lighting (and it does look AMAZING! Evenly back lit with 5 modes for brightness)
- compact
- cheaper

Corsair does look better for design imo!

I doubt that you will be disappointed with whatever you go for

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.

As kiwi said, the server admin probably disconnected the server due to the severe rape happening lol

He did seem rather mad the last round......

Yup railway map, probably the worse map out, really feels like a 5 min job

I am finding a lot of the maps to be more vehicle focused Thankfully you have a good bit of cover in most of the maps from both tanks and aircraft.

Paracel, siege and operation locker are my favourite maps so far, liking dawnbreaker a lot too. Floodzone would be my favourite if there won't so many campers + if the two flags in the middle weren't so close together, most of the action takes place there

And yup a few of those matches we had were very good! Just a shame when the other team were attacking they didn't push through

Thankfully the boat driver seemed rather noobish, should have been able to RAPE easily especially on the first base...... That is why I always stay at the very back, most safe place there is Although went under/inside the ship to get to the very front were the enemy where.

Good to see you opted for the mech in the end Nexus, I knew you wouldn't regret it

Yup, you were 100% right! Thanks for the help and trust messages!

Sod him now, join me instead!

I really am terrible though I'll have a mic tomorrow, so that should help. Just shout instructions and I'll try my best

Well, i'm going to give Flood Zone another go, as i joined when the flood was in effect, also Zavod and the other maps i haven't played.

I definitely don't struggle shouting instructions

TBH the flood doesn't really make much of a difference since all the action happens on the rooftops, hardly any one goes for the garage flag since it is just too far away from the others + is a pita to get to. Soooo much potential for that map to be even better.

Zavod is a really nice map (has grown on me), however, you get a lot of rooftop campers on C and D

The one thing that I am really liking about the maps compared to bf 3 maps is that they all feel/look different i.e. different environments, with bf 3 maps, a lot of them were always based on some oil refinery, warehouse place or/and in a big open country area.

Will be on later for a few games and jump on for some rush if you are about!
