The Battlefield 4 Thread 2015

Does anyone happen to know which graphics setting controls stuff like god rays, i.e. shafts of light through windows etc? I'm playing this again after an 18 month break and in that time have massively upgraded my PC, and I can't remember what graphics settings I used before on my old card, but I definitely know I didn't have these god ray effects, which seem to show up worst on Paracel and Flood.

The other alternative I guess is that these have been added for everyone, as I say, haven't touched the game in 18 months. Does everyone have these now? I usually like having graphics turned up to the max, but these rays are fairly obnoxious tbh.

Most of us run everything on low except textures and mesh as it makes it easier to see what's going on and gives high smooth frames rates. I'd have though post processing would be the godrays.

Best way to play the game imo. Helps to not have loads of guff on the screen that will detract from the shooting/spotting of enemies.

I have a 980ti, as much as it looks great at full ultra I switched back to low for the pro within an hour.
 
I'll be about too :)

Still best to play in short bursts though... the days of the 6 hour sessions with this game are well past now :( Shame really... we need a new game for the OcUK-RO :p

Hehe.. I think you may be having a little more faith in me than you should :D:p.

I went on "test range" last night to have a well what I was hoping a test flight.. I got about 2 foot of the ground before crashing ha.

I'd start off by playing a supportive infantry role to learn the ropes.

Assault giving out medic packs and reviving
Engineer repping and either RPGing or using mines to disrupt enemy armor
Support Spamming cover fire and ammo boxes.

Most importantly learn to spot enemies for your team (Q) and focus on the objective (capturing a flag point or arming/disarming an mcom etc).

Use your minimap to help prevent yourself being flanked (I have mine at 200% size which really helps).

Leave the vehicles alone until you had more time in the test range. A player who wastes a useful vehicle asset will not be popular ;)

You can't forget the most important one.

Sniper sitting back in your own base, not hitting anything or spotting.

Thanks for that :D... Played a fair bit of BF3 and BF4 on console.. But as a old PC gamer isnt the same.

I could go for option B sit in a chopper with a good pilot and repair vehicle haha. :D;)
