The Battlefield 4 Thread 2015

Ah it says only enable if you are using surround speakers or headphones - if it is enabled with any of the 2.0 options it will enable software HRTF which only reproduces a 3D effect with headphones - with non-surround speakers it will sound wrong.

EDIT: Its hard to find exact information on it but it seems that the speaker type settings have varying levels of EQing from wartapes having the most, then headphones, then TV, then HiFi and finally home cinema has the least on its own I don't think it enables any particular output configuration. That is then controlled by the speaker configuration option which enablese multi channel output for actual surround sound speakers and fakes it up with less speakers - which only works with headphones as mentioned above 2.0 speakers with the surround option will sound wrong.

Seem that the general advice is to use the HiFi settings if you are in a noisy environment or have average quality gear or the home cinema option if you are in a quiet environment with decent quality gear and enable surround if you either have actual surround speakers or decent headphones.

Ok, so if you want a DSP to translate 5.1 to Stereo headphones I believe the BF4 settings would be Home Cinema and Surround and then the soundcards DSP does the conversion

I was on for a game with squeeze yesterday, xonatic went on 33 to 1 in a tank which is not unusual but I was doing some aggressive sniping on Rouge and had a nice score something like 27 to 5. Good game I am not playing Diablo3 and trying to finish the last heist on gta 5 so BF is more of an rarity.
 
So I'm better off just buying a gaming headset I suppose. How do I use the Discord server? I presume I need an invitation and then there's a channel of any OCUKers that are playing cooperatively?

I really need some team play, the game is so much better as a team. Playing yesterday I had three tanks/LAVs taken by team members whilst I was repairing and another twice somebody jumped in to the driver's seat but I got in as they were driving off.

Of course, it's fun on a hardcore server with no punish option to RPG them to high hell as they drive off but I'd rather work together.

We are usually scattered on two discord servers but the official OCUK one should have its link somewhere on the forums, just join room Battlefield.
If you dont want to spend too much cash just get the HyperX cloud headset, its ok price for what it does. I use studio headphones with separate microphone but few people recommended it the Hyperx for gaming.

I hear you about the coop play, its about 20 of us that used to play but nowadays you are lucky to get 3-5 ppl on at the same time. That said 5 PPL can make a server GREAT AGAIN. So no worries. Also we are all nice people, some dont even speak like Nexus18 who may or may not be hacking.

We usually play standard servers co hardcore is for hardcore people

I can post you a discord link when you want one, but they timeout after 24hours if you don't join within that time. Give me a nudge in this thread or the Unofficial discord thread pinned to the top of the pc games section.

We don't normally play hardcore as it really wasn't implemented well in BF4 the weapon balance for instance is really bad. Classic mode (a sort of halfway house) is quite well done (No 3d spotting, no auto heath or repair).

Assuming to the game your DSP presented as multi-channel then yeah that would be the best way to do it.

Yeah a lot of attachments now affect your weapons stability/spread recovery which can be kind of naff and they increased the penalty for shooting on the move as well.

Really hate the battlepack implementation heh they've managed to completely devalue it by throwing them around like smarties.

Yeah I definitely felt like something was 'off' with my old loadouts, struggled with recoil at times - will need to have a play around I think.

Agree with the packs too - can't believe they're trying to flog 5 of them for over a tenner :eek:

Should jump on with us, I'm hoping to be around for a few rounds again tonight, maybe some lockers just to pass the time ;)

Sounds good, may not be around tonight but would definitely be up for a few games at some point!

If you've not played in awhile might have to temporarily remove heavy barrel if you are using it - it is one of those thing typically people get used to compensating for when actively playing but feel the full effect of when coming back to it after awhile.
 
Amused myself for a few minutes toying with the hacker (on the map after zavod) - joined his squad then C4'd the heli he was in a few times (not quite sure how but it worked though it killed me as well) til he stopped flying then ran around with shield blocking as much of his shots as possible though he was still one shotting a lot of stuff :S

Well played again guys, although that blatant cheat ruined the last game. Nice to see the MLG guys, shame about the game mode though, I'm not good at carrier assault.

Good games indeed!!

I'm not a fan of Carrier Assault at all to be honest but we pulled the last game back which was quite good. Running as a squad helps for sure and I think that game was the only round of Carrier which I've ever won lol!
