Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

How silly is the ‘Skill’ score? Play Obliteration or any of the alternative gameplay modes – even badly, like I was – and your Skill goes up miles. Play Conquest well – I had two or three great games in a row – and your skill score goes down! That’s a bit silly really.

I think due to the high amount of northerners me and crispy sound very similar because we talk normally, i.e the Queens English without the northern drawl/twang.

Lol Stands back and awaits incoming from Mark & Marty

Hahahahaaha yes there was a few of you parachuting in near B and I had the m249 with 3.4x scope , took out crispy , then he brought you for company next time but got you both (had to teabag for the fun factor and imagining the ts banter) before you sent in the big gun (Nexus):eek: went for nade but changed my mind **** meself and he got me with 8 health left I think :(

Thats the beauty of playing with mates its all good fun

Lol I remember that! :D

I was just going to go for B flag but then seen a orange blip (had no idea it was you until your name came up) on the MM so changed direction but you were behind the wee building so I parachuted down and then you just came around and I thought to myself "well........****", thought I was going to be killed before I even touched down but thankfully you panicked :p :D

Glad you didn't get me as I took out quite a few of your team after that :D

I just put pistol in the server search box , didnt take long really to unlock all the pistols using a few boosts. Dont know why i bothered cos im still running the p226 :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

same here :(

P226 best overall.

Might switch to the 93r for a while though........

I would be using the beast magnum if it weren't for that stupid delay :mad:

also if you use the magnifier add on for an assault rifle does it cause a penalty?
just in using it with AEK-971 and cant get on with it. unstable, inaccurate.
but with the M416 really good?
am using the Kobra sight
Click to expand...

None at all apart from different aiming sensitivity i.e. slower.

Not really the best option for the AEK due to:

- huge first shot recoil
- AEK not being that great for long range (unless you use heavy barrel)

If you haven't already, equip the angled grip, should help with control and make it more stable.

That sounds really really wrong:

"“Netcode” improvement
We’ve addressed the so called “Kill trading”. This refers to when two players fire at each other and, seemingly, both die at the same time. The time window where a bullet could cause damage from an already dead player is now calculated as intended, decreasing the timeframe when players with high latency could get a kill, even though they should be dead according to the server. "

A bullet already in flight should still kill whatever length of time after it was fired even if the person who fired it is dead - I'm fine with that. If they are having to hard clamp the time it can cause damage to reduce the trade kills thats extremely condemning of their programming (I can't really iterate enough how much that points at shoddy coding if true).

The problem seems to me to be at the other end - its allowing players to shoot in the first place long after they are actually dead and far too lenient on letting players run out of sync and having to tie everything together with hacked up outcomes :(

This will likely lead to even more complaints about bullet registry as people will see themselves as having fired before dying but their bullets having no effect.

"Made the NVidia 331.82 driver version mandatory for all players." - hope this is a troll or something only the .65s give me ok performance in heavy combat .82s are a choppy mess.

I don't read this is as being that the bullets will vanish into thin air once dead.

I read it as being that that window was longer than intended - rather than being removed altogether. This refers to high latency players having already been registered as "dead" on the server, and continuing to fire bullets and walk about as their latency was so high that they never got sent to the command that they are now dead.

Unless you are a high latency player, you won't find that your bullets are vanishing.

Skill = most pointless stat ever!

I especially love how they have made it the "biggest" stat lol.............

At least it seems to have been improved somewhat compared to bf 3??? Doesn't seem to fluctuate anywhere as much.

Thanks Nexus for your help, I will take this in mind, maybe I'll got for another rifle now, as had 200+ plus with AEK. I will try the angled grip too for a bit, thanks :)

No problem :)

The best assault rifles imo are ace 23 and L85, I use ergo, coyote, laser sight (use that setup on pretty much every gun) and sometimes silencer depending on the map......

One that really gets me is rpg type rounds not hitting your target after youve died. Say for example, you launch an rpg round at a distant target, you get killed while the rocket is in flight and it just simply dissapears. I could understand fine if it was a weapon that you had to guide to target, but not a fire and forget type like an rpg.
 
So I found one, was searching handgun was the problem. Had a decent game but got bored i'll have to blow some 200xp boosts to get the rest of them. Love my MP443 :D

I defo got C4'd, now you mention the mike incident it was just after my XFactor debacle, which would be when I muted it, so the chances are you are right!

Another epic fail from the resident idiot.

Also Nexus how do you get the black look to firefox, that looks immense! Me need. *Edit* nvm found it!

interesting will look at the combo, yes ive just unlocked the ace, will note the L85 too.
 
had a sodding awful round on one of my least favourite maps (Han resort) 5 minutes in the other side has capped us out and they have 32 players to our 23 due to the ******s bailing on our side cos they didn't want to hurt there kdr :mad:

Ended up losing 728-0 in 15 minutes :(
 
oops got banned from a band of brother server. Sniper limit that was impossible ( as far as I could see) to find out who was a sniper and who wasn't. I was a sniper from the start of the level and 5 kills in I was killed for being a sniper.

No idea how that works but I was bitching a little and got kicked and banned. Oh well.

Had that a couple of weeks back - some of the sniper limit rules, etc. are pants on head retarded (not that I agree with the amount of people sniping). Was using a DMR to run and gun and apparently on the server your "only allowed to fire a sniper rifle 3 times per minute" or something or they kill you.
