Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

oh I know bb's caps issues all too well ;) we've both been banned a fair few times from some servers. we both got banned off our favorite BC2.....which sucked! Think I was banned off it first, so every night BB would be like "oh hey join on me, lets play" which was then follow by the usually response from me, "are you on blahblah server? you know I'm banned"....."oh yea....HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!" and so the mocking ensued...until he got banned too :p
 
Random question: Is the stability of BF4 comparable to BF3, or is it generally much worse?

Played BF3 for the first time in a while, and just picked up BF4 in the Amazon sale, but don't fancy it, if the game is a mess :o

It's a bit of a mixed bag. You get people who get countless crashes and then some people who dont/rarely crash at all. (Only crashed maybe twice since release myself).
 
i can play fine for last few weeks. game is smooth as butter with good reg and fps. only thing i get now and again are diconnects from servers but even them have almost totally stopped.


im back playing dayz now again with my lot so probably not play as much for a while.

to set up maybe, but then once you've set up and saved the profile you only need to hit the 1,2 or 3 key on the monitors controller thingy that's magnetised to the base xD what way were you doing that took 20 seconds ? :p

My default is 'Standard' But the BF3 setting i use - http://gaming.benq.com/downloads - overwrites one of the other presets, think i chose the RTS one. So i'd have to scroll though them all, major drama i know. :p

But i see what you mean, Gamer 1 as normal everyday, Gamer 2 as BF4? Maybe i'll do that. I just read that the standard mode is the 'truest' colour setting and thats the one you should use. :)

TBH I'm not overly impressed with this monitor and may well end up getting something new soon....

hit reg was utter **** just now and it was always towards the damaged buildings and or walls, the body was clearly taking hits as the animation was being thrown back to my face shots. But not one damage was taken yet I died in one hit.

Just not worth playing when it's like that, last night was perfect.

Hence me NOT buying premium

Out of interest are you playing allot of 64 player games? I get great reg on 32/48 player servers. Also have you done a Thinkbroadband test to rule out packet loss?

Right

gonna have so much more fun with these now I know what they do :D

How does the active protection work ? do you need to activate it manually or does it just do its stuff automatically ?

Smokescreen
Advantage:
- Prevents mobility critical hits from both the rear and the side
- Makes you take min damage on any hit
- Removes spots
- Reloads fast
- Active for half its cycle

Disadvantage:
- Only works within a 4m radius outside of the smokescreen
- Doesn't work against guided shells from boats, jets or tanks, TV's, MBTPIE's and the like because those weapons deal true damage

Active protection:
Advantage:
- Can stop essentially any projectile except MBT-LAW
- Can be used to absorb entire Attack Helicopter, Attack Jet, IFV bursts, including all TOWs and rockets

Disadvantage:
- 5 second maximum uptime. 25 second reload, reload does not start until APS ends.
- Cannot stop active-radar based weapons, e.g. MBT-LAW or TV missile.

Reactive armor (work in progress)
Advantages
- raises the threshold for scoring a critical , from over 30 damage to over 40 damage
- with reactive you actually have to be hit straight in the rear to receive a crit.

Disadvantages
- Heat shells can cause critical on the sides as well

AA with activ radar needs to be nerfed big time, was on with Joe the other night and on both the maps I used it, I was taking all their air support out with ease, pretty much as soon as I could see them, I would fire two rockets and a few bursts of the main gun and they be down in a matter of seconds, ended up first with like 18+ kills and 1/2 deaths.

As I said way before the game came out, this is why DICE should just keep to the basics with regards to weapons and unlocks and not add too much, you go and add too much to a game and it is just going to be a nightmare to balance and that is the problem here.

MBT LAW and activ radar should be removed.

Totally agree, playing in the AA is just embarrassing atm. They have reduced the skill level needed in this game so even people like Kuno can get kills, that's sad.

I think gamer1 is standard mode isn't it? unless ya start fiddling ;) well I'm really impressed with how well the monitor performs, however....the colours are a bit washed out. have my 27" asus 60hz screen and it's so vibrant!! the asus 144Hz monitor is very vibrant though when I saw BBs one at LAN. I'd recommend that if ya looking for somewhere to advance to from our BenQs.

EDIT: thanks for the link though, shall have a look at the monitor profiles.

about the colours though, once sweetfx has been configured for BF4 with decent settings I shall run with that again as that made everything sexual in BF3!!! everything was sharper and the colours came to life. I rememberd when I did a fresh install (or if I go on BF3 now)....oh got how blurry it looks and all the colours seem mixed with I dunno, transparent grey/blue :p looks crap! hahahah

I make it a personal mission to kill the AA, by any means. Because if left to sit it's like shooting ducks in barrels of fish for the driver. I must admit I have gone as far to ram the damn thing with a jet (fight noobs with noobs!).

The map with the islands and shipwreck is the worst one for it because there is only the one AA on the map so pretty much whoever controls that wins the map due to the fact they can use air support and the other team cannot.

The other day in chat I was spamming, "kill the ******* AA", only to read, "what is AA?".

You have to manually use the counter measures button and your vehicle turns glowing green , when it cools down it glows red. I havnt had much success with it so went back to smoke screen.

EDIT . just noticed StonedRaiders' post so ignore my pathetic effort

can someone with access to front page please update the Beer Drinkers 52 slot server to this please;

Battlelog ID was migrated along with server (we were too busy for the current box so moved). Favorites are unaffected. Ignore its location showing as Sweden, i've not had chance to update gametracker yet
