) in BF3 its spot on!
Pretty much have to play on servers with a sniper limit or HC is just silly :S as much a level design issue as anything.
Was getting so much abuse just now for this https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/438048374244060800/917377806/ snipers don't like it when you take em out from across the map with an unscoped DMR heh constant hacking accusations.
we have a limit of 3 snipers and 5 DMR on the 64 man server
tried switching to medium settings? i presume you are on AMD?
That's quite a lot, most 64 player servers I've joined has 3 slot max and that's snipers and DMR's.
I don't get why people say DMR is for noobs tbh, you have to be fairly accurate with them especially in normal mode where it takes 3-4 body shots to down them.

In hardcore mode you can use a 3.4-4x scope sit way back and just spam shots to get kills. Like I do with a normal sight and running and gunning takes a bit more skill especially when you run into LMG spam with the silly supression.
Would do but don't have Second Assault /Premium .
I refuse to hand money over to EA going on the state of it, Not keen on handing it over for map packs neither tbh. Used to be the modding community that did the maps/mods back in the day
Sorry rant over , showing my age I suppose.

I wasnt a huge fan of BF3 hardcore, but then I joined the party really late so eveyone else knew the maps and game way more than I. Playing BF4 HC since launch and it just feels weird when on a normal server now. Snipers and DMR's are annoying at times but most servers run a 3-4 sniper limit so its usually ok. Metro CTF is the WORST and we removed it from our server rotation pretty quick. Metro TDM for some reason I like, but CQ not quite as much

HMG useless?!?!??! u wot m8??
HMG is deadly, fire in 1-2 bullet bursts, can literally snipe people across the map with that thing, once you learn the drop etc. it is extremely good.
I do have problems with the hit reg. every now and then when using the hmg but it isn't too bad for the majority of the time.
Damn straight! HMG is awesome, I have done much farming of infantry with it plus as I said earlier it is perfect for finishing off helis after hitting them with the sabot shell - although I still think the Sabot should take out scout helis with one shot.
When they finally nerf the Staff Shell and MBT Law I'll be able to go on even longer runs with my Sabot + HMG tank.
Also, as an aside, I have found that I have performed a lot better in my tank since replacing Reactive Armour with Autoloader - gives me the upper hand in tank battles (as long as they don't have staff shell) and I really don't think the reactive armour is that useful.

Seriously can't work out this game. I tried playing for the first time the other day, couple huge big open maps and no idea where to go, I was getting destroyed, okay everyone seemed to die a lot but the amount of times I thought I'd damaged or killed someone and just end up dead was off putting and infuriating.
Got pee'd off with having to kill it in task manager. Tried a couple days later, working a bit more stable for whatever reason, different maps maybe, but still couldn't hit anything. Talking I was lucky to hit 3 kills in a round. Got bored, another crash, gave up. Tried today..... 2:1 kdr on a few maps. Suddenly able to kill things, game still crashing but less. One of the worst maps I think for a noob, actually haven't got a clue what it's called, I think it's the one that can flood, lots of rooftops, a carpark at one end of a map, petrol station down one side past a couple bridges. THat one doesn't seem to crash which means I've played mostly on that, and you can get shot from so many damn angles almost everywhere.
But today, no idea why, but I had the first actually fun games. Even on that damned rooftop map I got 18 kills or something and 7-8 deaths. Is it starter guns? I switched to support, got a few kills with airburst but the main gun you start with seems far far better at range than what you start with on assault and the first recon/sniper gun seems to mostly just let whoever you are shooting at know where you are to speed up them killing you.
Are the starter guns largely pants, or was this just bad luck with hit reg. It did feel today like when I shot at people it did something where as the other couple times it felt like absolutely nothing was happening.

I see that platoons are under experiment and they are looking for volunteers (probably last to hear about it just got a update on my google now) tried hardcore last night dont know what it is but just cant seem to enjoy it as much as i did on bf3 loved it on bf3 and hated normal now its the other way around.

Despite being old decrepit and out of practice I think I still got it.
sniper limits are required. It's just hell otherwise.
And I still play better as a lone Wolf. If im in an active squad I find myself focusing on where I should be going and trying to work with my squad mates and dieing horrifically frequently as a result.
I prefer music to TS and just roam aboot in my own little bubble of gunfire and grenades.

Now we just need the balance patch to make air maps less retarded with the MAA.
