lol that's really bad don't think ive had it that bad but last night I did get killed from a guy behind a doorway before he even appeared in front of me :mad: even the kill cam showed him behind the doorway :eek: lol
 
I've been sniped through two hills before (he was on the far side of one, I was on the near side of another, neither of us within ~ 10 feet of the ridgeline on killcam).

Was quite annoyed, but TBH given I was running into cover at the time and he must have been backing away, I bet from his POV it was a hell of a shot.

Hadn't seen that claim - but so far the "netcode" in this game is barely on par with tribes 1. Watching someone running towards my tank yesterday in a dead straight line for ~100 meters and unable to kill them with the mounted machinegun was really quite depressing*. (I don't have the most amazing aim in the world but during the quakelive beta when I was playing regularly I was consistently in the top5 for accuracy stats and most of the big name pro players i.e. fatal1ty were in the beta so I don't suck that much either).


* Ended up running them over lol (got some "roadkill" type achievement or something that map for running down 10 people in a round).

The claim that the netcode for BF4 would be the best ever and better than BF3 was mentioned numberous times in all the live casts they did from E3 and the multiplayer launch. Not sure it was ever written anywhere.

Pretty sure they worked damned hard at it, but the servers are lagging out which is whats causing players to start running on the spot etc.. The servers fall behind then eventually come the round end crash. Pretty sure that peoples experiences of hit registation will be vastly improved once they get the servers 100 % stable.

Ye I have, it's pretty good. Very fast and literally no drop at all unlike the RPG. It's less damage than the RPG but much easier to hit thinks, more specifically choppers!

1. Don't use RPG against infantry, no matter what. All it does it confirm your inability to use a weapon and make you look like an idiot.

I save that RPG for snipers. Nothing more hilarious seeing them aiming down the sights at me with a fat rocket zooming into them:D
 
Hit level 10 last night and jumped straight into the Commanders seat . . well that was a let down. How do I actually score points?

I may have been down to the fact that we were playing 3vs3 on Paracel Storm :D but I soon got bored.

Had a great moment of turning to see a chopper diving in on me and shooting the pilot with one reaction shot. First time I wish I had been recording :D
 
Guys if any of you haven't already 15v15 Tonight at 8PM

Sign up in the Thread! We need about another 4 players and 1 Commander
 
Just played some Zavod and my hate for snipers/campers/spawn beacons is now stronger than ever. Pretty much most of their team was a sniper camping on the roof of the buildings with multiple spawn beacons down. Absolutely pathetic.

I reiterate just how stupid I think camping on an objective based game is. Learn to play the stupid game.
 
Well I finally finished the campaign, had a go in the test arena thing and decided I won't even attempt flying anything without a joystick. No doubt I'll only play the MP for a few hours before I get bored of snipers.

ummm give people orders and update them now and then.

drop a UAV on where you expect lots of enemies/where your team is pushing as you'll get points for spot assist.

drop the counter UAV where you see the enemy commander drop his UAV, get "counter uav points" (think it's when your team gets a kill where he should have been detected but wasn't)

deploying the gun**** gets points when people get hills with with.

send in the cruise missile and kill some peeps.

people using ammo crates/kills with vehicle you dropped.

keep using inf and vehicle scans.



I basically try to use everything the moment it becomes available ;) except the counter uav... wait for the enemy to drop his UAV and then put him in the dark :D

another tip I found with that is if you want to put the uav on an important area but you know the enemy is just going to counter it, put it somewhere random first so he'll hopefully waste his counter; as the UAV regen time is a lot shorter than the counterUAV, so you dummy him into wasting it then while his counter is still up you can place the UAV where you really wanted to ;)

This is my weapon of choice for blowing choppers out of the sky. It's projectile speed is quicker than the RPG but it does less damage IIRC.

EDIT: Game feels more stable for me today.

Yeah, if you can use the RPG then don't use this. The Igla on the other hand is crazy good, fire, reload, fire, aim to target and double kaboom :D If they flare then look away, look back and ta da.
