I can't seem to install the new patch, it just says an error occurred when finalising the patch:(

Going to try temporarily downing the firewall and if that doesn't work, a complete reinstall (origin too).

After the Dec patch I couldn't play CR until I completely re installed origin.

I think my mistake was upgrading win7 to win8.1.

Even more annoying is when you snap shot someone who is on your team and they !punish, not my fault the game didn't show you as on my team!

I assume you apologised as well? Seems to me in BF3 you the other guy gave you ample time to get in an apology for TK before punishing, I know I did, but now it is virtually instant in most cases. Surely it can only be noobs who don't know about this stupid bug who punish anyway, even if they don't want to wait for an apology.

I wouldn't be a squad leader on hardcore even if you paid me. All hardcore core games should be played with the full squads where possible rather than the five 2 man squads you usually see, just to minimize the amount of squad leader TK fodder. Servers with reflective TK settings are the best though if they never fix this bug, at least there people learn they have to take account of the bug if they want to stay on the server.

Biggest issue with this game is the randomness.
1 hit kills, trading kills, dying to people who have 0 health and live.
Makes honing your skills regarding gun fight's difficult.

What annoys me the most often is shooting someone repeatedly only for them to kill you and they are on exactly 1 health, apparently.

Ive not played since before xmas and my gpu blew but how is this not fixed yet ffs
 
Guys, At the end of each round do you all still get the progression of the China Rising achievements showing up even though you've completed the assignment? (the ones for the guns, L85, MTAR etc.)
 
I get this for all achievements (not just china rising ones). I don't know if you still get a bonus for re-achieving it or something.

Nexus - how did that 'multiplayer mission' thing I set up work out, asking for max vehicle kills in one round? I assume you won? Did you get anything for it? (I've not been on to check).
 
@You guys who are playing BF4 competitively etc.
Just out of curiousity, why are most of your matches 8v8? Is it mainly due to the netcode making greater numbers problematic or is it just due to the logistics of arranging larger numbers of players?

I only ask as the game is primarily desgined around much higher numbers than that.
 
Both myself and a friend on TS got killed by the same person regularly last night. Apparently every time they killed us he was on zero health. A new hack?
 
Didn't play any games last night but hopefully be on bf 3 tonight....

Pcw = practice war... U wouldn't tbh tank fights don't last long in bf4 as long as u get there tank down you've done ya job doesn't matter how many times u die its about flags and tickets... can see you play really defensive in publics which is good for 8v8 + u only get good at this game by playing against better players.

Ah I see!

Yup, I hate racing in, only to die like 1 minute later :(

Think I'll hold of windows 8.1 until this game is fixed......

Yup, I won! :D :p

Don't think so......

There are awards/medals for winning a few things though.
 
Anyone getting on this turd pile of a game.

Ever since this latest fubar patch I have all manner of disconnects. These include: successfully going into game with Battlescreen on my other monitor displaying map and sound but just a flashing cursor on my main monitor.

Game disconnect (40), Couldn't find server error, BF4 can't communicate blah blah and Please close BF4 via task manger and this was all within 10 minutes of just trying to play a favourite server.

I can see why people want their money back.
 
Some people are just wind up merchants. On Golmud and on a 13 streak from start of round and quick switch to secondary for mg on infy close by. Take him out and swap back but some mug has jumped in drivers seat and drives off with me furiously spamming get out you.... (insert all manner of expletives). He just writes 'suck it' :mad: Anyhow off he drives straight towards an armoured column coming the other way from all the armour that has just spawned after i took it all out. He dies within 1 minute but ive been killed while in chat. So frustrating...sigh...and breathe.....

BF3 maps were designed around 12vs12 consoles. 8vs8 goes back to BF2 and beyond as far as I am aware. It means you have to be very tactical and while there are different skill levels, you have to be on top of your game at all times, no easy kills. Rogue Transmission Sml plays much better than Cnq Lge IMO

32vs32 battles also happen between communities eg Symthic vs FIST but the logistics of 32 players isn't easy. At Level Battlefield we put on a weekly 32vs32 tournament with some of the best players in the world, while some maps didn't work too well most played out really good. 32vs32 Karkand was possibly my favourite LVLBF map as the initial breakout / push is one hell of a rush.

The new BF4 tournament will be starting sometime after Feb as we'd really like DICE to fix a few more problems first (banning and enforcing stuff is a PITA) namely hit reg. There will be a veteran tier for players who have played previous LVLBF season / have genuine eSports experience. There will also be an open tier for everyone and I'd certainly encourage a number of you guys to sign up and see what it's all about. Without Westie dragging me into the very first beta season as their C4 monkey I woulda never gotten into eSports. The thing about level is that there are hundreds of members and just by being a part of LVLBF it opens many doors. I even got asked to be part of a high skill CS@GO team the other day...had to say no as I am a complete n00b, they thought I must be a CS pro LOLOLOL..I wish.

But seriously...will let you guys know when the draft starts, you should make a 1337 OcUK sqd. We all enjoy working as a team on Pubs, doing it in a comp would be even more rewarding L:D

Yup ****ing annoying when that happens :mad:

I wouldn't really care if the guy was a good tanker but 90% of players are awful, just go racing in and either :

- drive over slams, mines
- get c4'd
- get gang banged by 5+ engis with rpg etc.
- get raped by 2+ tanks

Last a grand total of 2 minutes and then allow the enemy team to push up and take a flag or two......

*face desk*

Fuming the other day on altari rush, attacking the first base, in the tank, couldn't push up at all because their tank was at the back just over the slope and they had loads of engis + mines etc. All over the place, I got a bad critical hit so had to back up and repair, guy just jumps in and goes racing in, thankfully the game ended just a few seconds after otherwise he would have been killed instantly which would have then allowed the enemy team and tank to push right up to our base.....

Such a terrible map that for attackers.
 
Someone's been on my account, playing shockingly.

I just tried to log into origin to get the new update and my password wasn't working, I haven't been on the PC version in a while as I've been playing on PS4, even so, I'd been using the battlelog app without issue, so went to change my password anyway.

Up pops an origin page in Russain, even weirder, I change my password successfully and log into battlelog, to find my skill has taken a nosedive and someone has played a few rounds, changed my emblem and set my region and language to Russia :/ there's also an old group chat open with a player I don't know who also has the same altered emblem. No idea if this player is a culprit or another victim.

Most odd, anything I should be doing other than the usual password changes? The email associated with Origin is a really old one anyway so there's not much else that needs changing in terms of security.

-edit-

And the swine deleted all my friends and added a "secret question" meaning I now can't change my registered email ¬_¬

Done a malwarebytes scan and Avast, nothing. They'd obviously tried to get into my old email account and change the password for that too but were blocked out.

Most odd, can't work out where it's been grabbed from. Pain not being able to change the associated email though.

2nd death. Dead before the guy even peeks. GG.

Funny old thing BF4...the 300ms delay works for you sometimes and against you others..In a 1vs1 (if equal skill etc) the first guy to peek and shoot has a 100ms start on the other so while on Chunkee's screen he was dead before he could react, Sayo had already seen him and started shooting...such netcode.

Oh and seriously unlucky on your match against XTS last night dude..2nd round it seemed like you had a chance of turning it around until Born kept dropping out :/
