Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

I wonder why some players get on to a server quicker than others?

I was playing SoS the other day and the rest of my team were capping B before I finally got in-game. It's not an SSD thing as I've seen people with SSD's saying it takes them 3-5 minutes to load.

Good job I'm not a vehicle/aircraft whore. I'd have no chance.

Tbh if you did get on youd regret it. Bf4 is having another hissy fit in regards to hit reg. Absolutely terrible. Strange thing is too, dice done the mp for moh 2010. A brilliant game for hit reg in mp. Yet both bf3 and 4 are woeful.

I noticed it's not for every person I went up against though, some people just kept on taking hits and killing me in one. Yet others went down with ease!

Helier for example shot me at long range in one hit with a shotgun, yet I was behind a grate as well.

Still though, wasn't as bad as it usually is
 
Its the whole seeing someone, firing a good controlled burst first but die from them that annoys me so much. 9/10 times this will happen in some rounds, heck ive even shot people who had their back to me but still get dropped by them.
 
Ive had that a few times mate, this is common in both bf3 and 4. But mostly i see them and shoot first yet die. Bit like the dying in cover issue. I seen you state here that you died 2 seconds after going into cover, my own personal record is 4 seconds.
 
I got a 2nd account in the USA black friday sales (£15, why not). My game plays fine (use the term loosely) on my main account, yet I crash out every other game on the new one. *****?
 
Hit reg. has been very bad for me today as well :(

Stable compared to yesterday though........
The crashing hasnt been an issue for me in a few weeks now thankfully. Few times it takes a few attempts to join a server and the reg issues. Did have a sound drop out on golmund railway last night when we were on. First one in a while.

Good few rounds last night that time, had a good laugh taking out choppers with rpg's and the tank main gun. Think i dropped 3 in all.:D
 
For those who have been having crashes and suchlike, have you tried closing your browser once you have started loading a map?

Seems to have fixed all my crashes and the stupid memory leaks I was having.

Seems to be worst today for that - when I finally got in a game - its due IMO to the console focused "netcode" thats too lenient on higher latency connections.

Ive seen me sometimes having to shoot behind someone who crosses my fov. In other shooting games you normally have to lead in front of the direction of movement of your target. Seems to be bad with bf4 today, went on a quick round of tdm on bf3, was flawless and tbh the game in general was so much smoother running.

Yeah crashes (specifically sound loop crash) haven't been as bad for me either since turning everything to low/of but still completely random, the black screen loading is the most common one for me now.

hehe they were awesome rounds, no heli stood a chance on golmud, raider, pat and I (plus others, can't remember names) were shooting pretty much everything down with the tanks, was pats gunner for the first bit and damn he is an awesome shot, hardly ever missed a heli :D


Roof campers are ****ing me of big time in this game, flood zone earlier and there were so many, most boring round ever too because of there being **** all to shoot at on the ground, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Usually get 45+ kills on that map, this time I only got about 25 (would have been 15-20 but they decided to come down near the end)

Didn't help matters that they had some pro scout heli guy with engi. repairing him constantly, he finished 52-2 deaths.

Feels superb "outsniping" snipers on the tall buildings with my ace 23, bet it makes them rage hard! :D


BTW as advised by Raider, don't bother with HE rounds any more, way too slow to reload now :( So using sabot shell again, crap against tanks using the HE shell (unless the tank driver is a complete noob :p) but as mentioned before, absolutely amazing for taking helis out.

BTW have they adjusted the HMG for the tank? Last few days it feels like I have to lead my targets a heck of a lot more.......... probably just the dodgy hit reg. boxes though :rolleyes:
