wanderer89 · 29 Dec 2013 at 21:02

im sure most companies now use ddos as a excuse when somethings broke.

Someone probably accidentally kicked that 4-way extension lead out of the wall that EA run their servers from.

Looks like it's back working again.

BattFink · 29 Dec 2013 at 22:04

Just tried a couple of times to get a game... just get "Game disconnected: could not join server"

Getting a bit bored of this

I know what you mean, have you tried hardcore? Normal mode feels a bit annoying when 4 or 5 rpgs - all direct hits - don't destroy a vehicle, I mean that's just silly. Hardcore feels much better, you can still survive a couple of hits sometimes, depending, but taking out vehicles with one or two rpg's feels a lot more satisfying for me. Now in division 1 for rocket launchers :cool:

4 way extension lead, you give them to much credit mate. It's probably a few starved rats on a wheel. They refused to pay more for hamsters.

MinotaurEGN · 30 Dec 2013 at 00:21

EA needs a kick up the back side to get all these issues sorted. They cannot continue like this with such popularity in the Battlefield franchise.

I hope that lawsuite they currently have will make them realize and improve their services for Battlefield 4 and the anticipated Titanfall

I didn't think Hardcore changed any Vehicle parameters at all?

ordinaryjoe · 30 Dec 2013 at 01:29

Just started playing this game yesterday... Every time I was revived, I pressed RMB as the tooltip said to, and just died. I thought that maybe there was a 1/4 second window for it to work, and that I was just not quite pressing it in time. After this happened about 20-30 times, I looked it up online. Apparently, it's LMB to accept and RMB to decline... Wow :-/ Why is such an obvious mistake still in the game?

Mine ignores my input anyhow and revives me regardless of button press or even without any button press after 1 second - haven't bothered to look into why. Most times I then get the shakes continuously until I swap weapons (nothing else clears it) and my bullet spread is way off also until I swap weapons - unlike the video above mine doesn't reset when I fire but does reset on weapon swap (which doesn't work for them in the video).

setter · 30 Dec 2013 at 02:14

Quite often i just avoid hitting revive. Too many times you accept it only to die a split second later. In bf3 it was space bar to accept revive and you always came to (so to say) with your sidearm equipped, but iirc in prone so you could switch to primary weapon quicker whilst sometimes having some cover.

Side note, played a round earlier, 32 man conquest. Had the performance graph running, nothing but massive cpu spikes on a well clocked cpu, stock 780. Every spike responded to a laggy bit in game.

Have you guys tried aiming, learning how to use the weapons or even what uses they actually have? The Engineer class is all powerful in BF4. HC is just a mess for vehicles and 90% broken for infantry in BF4, it was far far better in BF3.

Engi has always been the best class in bf games. Shoot at someone, they go into cover. Whip out an rpg and destroy that bit of cover, vehicle appears, you can take it on as well with said rpg or my own fave, (mines) aftermath on bf3 was class for that. Engi is probably my most played class in bf4 as it's so much fun. For tdm i mainly go assault or recon, the latter with a bolt gun but it was more fun in bf3 tbh. Ive barely even used support class in bf4 as i find it boring, probably good though if your a point farmer on crap maps like locker.

I unlocked a belt feeder or something like that for the gunner LMG on a tank, yet when I'm in a Abrams for example half the screen is filled with this ammo box blocking all vision to the right hand side..can't see a thing.
