The Battlefield 4 Thread 2015

I'm curious what you think of that monitor too Josh, I've been thinking about upgrading to a Gsync monitor for a while (from a BenQ XL2420T 120hz)

Enjoy. :)

Having just purchased this I am immediately reminded why steam is so much better than origin.

250 kb/s download speed, only 24 hours till I can play it. What a ******* joke!

Actually IMO, thats one thing Origin is good at, I always max my connection from them, not so with Steam during sales etc. You sure its not your connection?

I always give squad orders. Maybe sometimes on a new round I won't notice I'm the squad leader until someone requests an order.

Although it is indeed very rare you get a squad working together in public games. Depends on the map really; it's size, and where squad members are on the map. People aren't going to go from A to G on Golmud just because you gave an order. However going from C to D on Zavod is far more likely to be obeyed.

Most the time it's just a way for me to get more points :). "Oh look, I'm at B flag... **sets squad objective to B flag**, awesome now I'm on the squad objective already" :).

Squad orders aren't made visible enough which is what they're addressing. Having a flag highlighted amongst all the other eye cancer in the game makes it hard to see what issue has been ordered.

However, it's good you're using the role properly. Does BF4 have squad leader spawn only, I can't remember? If it does then having a useless sniper away from any action even if they issue commands every 30 seconds will make me want to switch squads.

I'm literally the worst with team orders. My excitement is that they seem to be starting the teamplay initiative back up which is a good thing. There were lots of cool ideas that never got into the prototype phase.

I'd like to think that everyone in the OCUK platoon uses common sense hence why squad leader orders aren't necessary. However there was one occasion the other day when the round started in Paracel Storm that a platoon member drove the rhib boat to A. I don't know what possessed him to do that when going to B and capping it first prevents the enemy getting the MAA and grants the Commander the Gun Ship.

Yeh it does in Conquest Classic mode. To be honest I actually prefer classic mode as you really do need an integrated squad. Fluphy Bunny plays it quite a bit.

It does have it. Always on in HC I think, and a custom option for Classic and Normal presets.

They need to make it so Squad Leaders can be changed easily. Also locking vehicles to squad members only would be nice.

Same monitor that I have come from.

Initial impressions are good, set the 144Hz Gsync option in Nvidia CC, the colours are pretty superb, I always felt the XL2420T had muted colours, this one so far is much more vibrant.

Yet to test with games as I need to reconfigure my new M65.

I think that person might have been me!

In my defense however, I dropped a couple of squad mates and another teammate at the beach on B first giving two different squads a possible spawn at B, then took the RHIB to A to assist the lone attack boat that was about to get pasted. It worked. We got A and B, the AA and the extra attack boat that spawns at A.

I always try to give orders. If we are doing well, I'll set the objective to either be the flag I most want defended or the flag I can see my squad mates are moving to cap. If we are doing badly, I'll try and grab a vehicle, flank to their back cap and if successful set that as the objective as a "Please spawn on me!" to complete the cap.

I'm terrible as squad leader when in a vehicle though as I have q bound to spot and give order, which results in ~2 objectives being set per second! I need to fix that without giving up on giving orders! :p

Run FLIR on every vehicle you can IMO. You will be surprised at how much of a wall hack it appears to be! It's only really countered by flashlights (which give away the enemy spot anyway but just make is difficult to find the center of the sunspot and get the kill), and hand flares (Which are to FLIR what smoke is to normal vision and can also be used to "hide" mines).

I use it in Tanks, LAVs, AA and attack boat.

C4 also shows up on FLIR, but if it's dropped on your roof you don't see it.

M2 SLAMS however are the devil's own spawn and invisible!

Totally agree, its not bad but they do feel a little washed out.

Sounds promising! :)
 
Was looking forward to a few rounds tonight for the first time in a while but my pc has died.. got power, fans spin up but no beep and no display.. just ordered a psu tester..arse
 
The annoying thing is - enabling gsync "its nice but not a huge change"... played with it on for a couple of months, tried disabling it... "wtf this is horrid".
 
Good to be back, just a shame I am still getting that error (1) online black loading screen error... No idea what else I can try :(

Game seems to play better though and no cheaters although dusting even worse now :/

Sounds good Josh! :cool:
