Bit the proverbial bullet and ordered this off eBay for PS4 the other day; I usually only buy games new but I wasn't going to let EA/DICE have any of my money after the state they released this in.

Should arrive tomorrow, will be interesting to see what it's like. Presumably there's about 15 million GB of update to download first?

You will probably need to invest in premium to get the best out of it, playing the original maps over and over would get boring fast, at the start though you will be fine.

It's a great game when it works, just that the servers can't really handle 64 player conquest 100% of the time.
 
Grr.

Is there a way around the loadout bug? Evertime I set my loadout on battlelog, I find it's back to how it was a good month or so ago in-game. Cant remember the amount of times now i've forgotten to re-do them in-game, and gone out with a rubbish loadout.

I had the same problem it gets really annoying!

I fixed it by loading my proper loadout from the battlelog site as normal.

Once the loadout was in game correctly, went to options and changed something 'network smoothing' etc.. and saved. Set it back and saved again.

My loadout now updates as it should and doesn't default back to an old copy :D
 
This rubber band nonsense is doing my head in, even getting it on Domination on the older maps where I assumed there would be less glitches.
 
The guns on top of some of the vehicles are utterly useless. You just get a load of hitmarkers but no kill. It's actually quicker to get out and shoot them with your gun. It's just ridiculous as they'll be .50cal which would kill with one bullet.

Brill, did the same (albeit just changed sound from 100% to 99...) and it worked.

Cheers man.
 
In fact, to touch on that more, I truly wish tanks were more OP, and could take a proper beating to create a fear factor, I see a tank as a medic and don't usually give a hoot, just run round it in circles.
 
Yay, now the enemy are shooting through walls. This game just gets better everyday, 80lmg bullets for 1 kill and enemy shotguns that can shoot further than my asssult rifles, good works devs.
 
I find the mounted guns on vehicles to be fine now but it took many hours to get used to using them. They need a buff for sure but with practise they can be very effective still.
I got 8-10 kills the other night in just a couple of minutes but you have to get headshots or they just don't die fast enough.
If you get a few headshots in a row you can take out a few people without reloading.

Body shots with them though seem to do less damage than some pistols!

Still shouldnt take nearly all the bullets to get one kill though, especially the back of someones head when theyre laid capturing flags. Should be easy kills really.

It doesn't

you need to learn how to use the LMGs. You can use it one of two ways, you can either go bipod pro, and lay down and bipod, or bipod on a piece of cover, then wreck people. Or alternatively you can swap the bipod for a suitable grip such as the stubby and be more mobile.

For this to work however you need to learn two things

1) you can't move when firing an LMG. Random bullet deviation will kill you on this. Stand still and don't move and your accuracy will greatly improve

2) Fit a sight, aim down sights for an ADS bonus, then tap fire to control the recoil.

If you're running around firing on the move not tap firing it will take 80 bullets to kill somebody because you're too inaccurate.

You've always been able to shoot through some walls in battlefied. Its one of the quirks of the game that makes it more realisitc. You need to learn which materials you can shoot through ,and which you can't.

As for the shotguns, none of them can shoot further than an assault rifle. The exception is the slug round, which is essentially a giant bullet and thus can travel as fast as bullets do. But it has a really low velocity, incredible drop and needs more than 1 bullet to kill.

The only ones that are one shot kills are buckshot and flechette with a suitable choke.

Pretty much what frodders said but with the AWS you can run and gun to an extent,

My setup for that gun takes out squads and out snipes snipers across the map :)
AWS
Coyote RDS
Flash hider or Suppressor depending on map/situation
Potato grip.

It's that good I'm expecting a nerf very soon.

Shooting through walls is one of the best things in BF, There is just nowhere to hide :D

Think the AWS already had one nerf to it's recoil, as it had pretty much none when it came out on PC, i also think i watched some where LvLcap possible, IRL the AWS is an assault rifle, but for BF4 it had been fitted with the dual mag system.
 
the AWS has assault rifle ballistics in BF4, and assault rifle suppression.

Its essentially an assault rifle but with a 100 round mag.

Still a fan of the MG4 bullet hose myself. Tap fire for days with that thing.
 
I've re-opened applications to the OcUK all platforms platoon since the latest update will increase the maximum number of members to 200

As a BF4 noob, what are (as a general rule) the best weapons for each class assuming I have not paid for premium?

iirc I am lvl 21 atm
