Don't be hatin' on me shakin'
but so true 
I still can't believe they haven't fixed the "connecting" bug, where you go to join a server that has a queue, but the game tries to join you to the game (with no free slots), then just hangs on connecting for a while before closing the game and saying error..../sigh
so frustrating because basically to join that server then I have to wait until there are definitely a few spaces on the server (say 58/64) and then join so it loads up properly...
oh and DMRs are utter rubbish!!! such low damage and the spread of fire is retarded... supposed to be about precision but can't even get well placed hits when taking your time. what happened to the likes of the M417 from bf3
I could run about up close with that thing and take out snipers.

Ah ok, yeah I haven't checked PB for updates in awhile so that could be it, if there aren't any updates I'll try re-installing it and see if that works. Cheers.
Tip for anyone who HATES sniping, but has OCD such that you desperately need to unlock every weapon including the FY-JS sniper rifle and thus need to get 50 marksman ribbons, but would normally cringe at the idea of camping in the hills or roof somewhere to get one off 250m+ headshots every 10 minutes on a conquest map or other.
Solution, the "Oh my guts" 400 ticket 64 player TDM server. 400 tickets gives you plenty of time to tot up 50-150m headshots to get you the ribbons, which on normal 100 ticket TDM servers you couldn't guarantee getting enough shots in before round end, and you don't have to do any solitary hill or roof camping. 64 players means you have plenty of fellow sniping noobs doing exactly the same thing on the other side of the maps to wrack up headshots from. In fact, this server is probably at least 40-50% snipers at all times.
Of course there are many sniper only servers, but I've not found any with more than 200 tickets other than this one.
This server is a godsend to a sniping hater like me, to the point that I am actually sort of enjoying sniping, which worries me a bit :ekk:

went from 7 to 8.1 during beta. well back then if made the game butter smooth and gave an increase in fps
imagine there's still some gains to be had. If you do it with an SSD it barely takes any time at all. did mine again a few weeks ago and the installation was over before I knew it. set up a few tweaks/customisations to windows (like moving the mydocs etc etc) then put steam/origin on my games SSD and let the broadband do the rest xD

That was a strange one on a server with valiantuk and we were losing by 300 odd tickets but i was well clear at the top of the leaderboard (both sides). I died and got switched to the winning team WTF. Never seen the top player from losing team switched before...very odd..

Maybe the game felt sorry for you? Either that or a few people on the other team crashed out, leaving the numbers quite imbalanced?
What, has your Mom gone too?
Since I gave up gaming to enjoy life in London - i.e. paying over the top prices for anything from a haircut to accommodation - TFU has fallen apart. They miss me
Had a few really fun games of BF4 at the weekend. Just relaxed into it and laughed at the bugs

That guy who was on my team was not happy about it haha thats what confused me i understand the balancing thing but swapping the top player over was abit odd thought it would have been someone in the middle
I am around!
Any tips for doing the defib kill for one of the assignments? I just can't seem to get myself in a position to do it. I've lucked out 3 times now and been behind someone, but its never even registered as a hit, let alone a kill.

I did mine on shangai when the rooftop campers came out to play, try finding someone who is camping away from everything.
Are you charging it up? If not you need to do that to get a kill

Was all about the snipers for me, just find someone sitting on the edge of a map like Zavod and make your way around behind them - give it plenty of charge then cook em'
Seriously getting fed up of the game now, I'm constantly getting either;
"ERROR Game disconnected: could not join server."
or
"Battlefield 4 has stopped working"
