Guys is there a fix to the connecting bug - it takes me 5 attempts to log into any game...any help is gratefully received!!
Is it the issue where the red task bar shows up with "client closed connection" or something like that? I was getting this so tried this suggestion.

Hi i solved the problem by opening some ports at my router: TCP: 80, 443, 9988, 20000-20100, 22990, 17502, 42127 UDP: 3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300 and than it suddenly loaded :smileywink: have fun!

I read a post on BL forums saying that it only happened when trying to join a server with 4 or less free slots, ever since then I've gone for servers with more than 4 free spaces and got in every time.

But it does seem very sporadic...
 
Good to see that the Scout chopper 25mm guns are being nerfed. Attack chopper needs to be a bit stronger but at least they are taking off the spinning when hit by a missile.
 
Zuni rockets are currently by far and away the best Heli rocket in BF4...However if they wanna buff really good stuff like that, my mantra is now ..Yes, they are underpowered and underused..buff plss
 
The Attack Chopper should be feared IMO. Most of the time it's just got blueberries in anyway so it's no bother.

Now then DICE, tell me about CM's

Yeah CM's need to be improved, takes soooo long and with the amount of stinger faggots it is a PITA but knowing DICe if they touch them, it will be like bf 3 again :rolleyes:

You REALLY need to come and play some COMP!!! YOu are a very VERY good tanker in public and should now see how you fare in 8vs8!!

!votenexus comes and plays 8vs8

I'll see :p

Is tanking not extremely boring with only 8 players though? I get bored when you only have like 12 players on the opposite team....

Also wouldn't be able to go on those 40+ kill streaks :( :p

:(

Thank god most heli pilots fly nice and low!

Puzzles me why they thought they needed to buff the zuni rockets even more :confused: If anything, I would have given more ammo instead.

Less players. But players who actually know what they are doing and are coordinated in their attempts to destroy you. I'm pretty sure you'll have much, much more on your plate than the average walk in the pub.

get ur positioning or angles wrong in 8v8 and ur dead so fast..

those sraw shots are nothing special.. most are in his LOS...

its shots where u have to completely predict where heli/jet is that cant been seen thru scope and have to adjust/flick at the last second to hit them.. and there no one better then zhang at doing that.

Does anyone else just hate the amount of tanks/Lav's in the game now? Caspian, kharg and firestorm were my fav in bf3, vehicle heavy great balancing.

Now all vehicle maps seem to have 4 MBT's, 2 LAV's, 2 choppers, AA per team with random LAV spawns at different flags. Its just too much on maps this small and open when you can see across the other side of the map easily. I rarely get a game where I feel playing as infantry on vehicle maps and feel like I'm not just avoiding the vehicles all the time and get so many random deaths from the other side of the map.

I reckon with second assault although Caspian and that lot were perfect in BF3 I bet we get more tanks added because they don't understand balancing and think that every tank shell or missile truck should shake the ground like an earthquake! Every time I say to a mate 'lookout tank' etc I'm never just referring to one anymore there's 3 rolling up. Or you get to play locker and shoot down small close corridors!

Does anyone think there's any chance for balance for them to actually lower the amount of vehicles? Not mentioned yet and it requires smart designers so not DICE.

looks pretty special to me Westie lol. I can take down a couple jelis in a round, Ravi took down more than a dozen, it's good skill. Good distance perception
 
looking at those fixes, you'll instantly notice BF4 flyboys walking around town, they'll be the ones smiling with huge woodies standing proud...well done dice, you've listened to all the sky warriors that have moaned they no longer can go 80-1 ratio in a game. And now the rest of us grunts on the ground - we get to be pumped up the ass constantly in every map. Way to listen to the one sided moaners dice.

Ive said this quite a few times to friends, Atari Range (or whatever) is the worst map for this, always having 3/4 LAV's rolling up together takes out any chance of being useful as infantry.

Usually stay away from maps like that :(
 
LOL no, you always have plenty to deal with :D

Surely it can't be any worse than the 5+ MBT law warriors that camp on roofs and another 5+ engis on the ground etc. just spamming the rockets!?!? :eek: :p

The only thing I thought that would be a concern in 8vs8 is the aircraft (assume you get a heli and jet in 8vs8??)

Only thing that I fear in pub when tanking is slams, mines, c4 and the gunship! And aircraft when you got people like Joe, westie in heli & jets :(


Also agree with that sraw video, nothing special imo, as said, most of the helis were just hovering or/and going really slow.

Haven't used the sraw much but from the small amount that I have so far, it seems so much easier to use than the AT 4 in bc 2, I would like to run with the sraw but tanks are much more of a threat than aircraft in bf 4 and the damage it does to tanks is pathetic so I just use the RPG.

Does anyone else just hate the amount of tanks/Lav's in the game now? Caspian, kharg and firestorm were my fav in bf3, vehicle heavy great balancing.

I agree, there are too many ground vehicles but at the same time, the vehicles in bf 3 were way too OP, especially aircraft when in the right hands (well certain game mechanics made them OP)

In bf 3, the good vehicle players can get 80+ kill streaks with 0/1 deaths, you can't do that in bf 4 with any vehicle aside from the jet/heli (and probably the AA, of course all depending on the map) but only if there is no aa or the guy in it is a complete noob.

I think we are okay still, they haven't buffed them that much and haven't touched the main areas that really let aircraft down i.e. counter measure reload times and plus thankfully the maps design is great compared to bf 3 maps i.e. way more cover from aircraft.

ATM, aircraft, especially the attack heli is incredibly weak with the AA, stinger warriors etc.

These changes in no way make the heli god mode in the right hands...CM's still haven't been chaged, even if CM times are halfed 1 guy with a stinger can fire 2 in 10 secs with them doing 90 damage to a heli. Hover camping is dead due to SRAW.

Tony I agree Heli's were OP in BF3, there can be no doubt bout it but in BF4 even with these changes it's still a coffin unless you know what to do.
 
Why are DICE doing **** vehicle tweaks when the game is a complete mess. Players disappear when using mortars, textures disappear if you go between two broken buildings, the hit registration is an utter joke and favours players with crap connections and the 0 health + 1 shot kill bugs are game destroying.

The game is actually a joke.

Hate that too!
