Campaign in this is a fucking hot mess!

 

[Spookie]

Two games: One server crash, one game crash. I think I'm done for a while. This game is a mess.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I can't get rid of the damn micro stuttering...

Some nice videos of next gen 1080P 60FPS

[RS4-]

Bah loadouts don't even save. But games seem to show up in reports immediately again compared to the couple of hour delay like yesterday.

 

[TheSeks]

Okay mabe Obliteration is just not good period. Or not for me...

Obliteration is amazing. It's Call of Duty's "Sabotage" under a different name.

It REALLY requires teamwork. Which is an issue since most people are focusing on kills because "LOL NO TIME LIMIT" instead of getting the bomb to the plant sites.

Think of it like a sports match of Football or Futbol, either one: Get to the end-zone and win.

It's a three zone "defuse" and IIRC you play Defuse, yeah?

After about 10 minutes into the campaign I realized that Irish is KZ's Rico. And he became more and more like Rico as the campaign went on.. They're like lost long brothers or something.

Oh and DICE, we get it, he likes saying "fuck" and its many variations.

 

[Ziltoid]

Did the server update screw up the netcode? I get killed by rockets that is halfway between me and the guy firing it.

 

[Sethos]

"You were disconnected from EA online"

I'm slowly reaching my breaking point with this game.

 

[BoatAck]

I don't know but Levelcap mentions that exact situation in his latest video.

The gun-play feels like a step back from BF3. Also, I seem to trade kills with enemies at least 4x more often than I did in BF3.

 

[Seanspeed]

I don't know why people are still bothering trying to play if they know they have a 50% chance of being kicked sometime in the game and losing all progress.

That sounds completely infuriating.

 

[Woo-Fu]

I think I may have fixed my client crashes so what happens? Next two games the servers crash.

I know I am always playing the objective, but I am just getting murdered at the spawn or when I have the bomb, as I am usually running around alone since my squad is sniping....

i'd like to know if DICE is doing something about it.

 

[aravuus]

Yeah I think I'm done with the game for the day, I've crashed 3 times in the past 40 minutes. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. Maybe I'll just play CoD for the rest of the month and come back when it's fixed.

 

[kudoboi]

played the whole of today with only 2 crashes. looks like the latest patch made the game much more stable

 

[RS4-]

Was testing out dxtory, had ok tdm match. Doesn't use dxtory in next game of rush, has awesome moments.

GG.

 

[Facism]

every server i join is literally 50% Recunt players. It's not as if the class is bad, it has c4, motion balls etc. It's idiot tryhards trying to be "1337" snipers and camping roofs/boundaries. new battlefield same old terrible players with 0 game sense.

They need a system that actively punishes players for not PTFO. Gradual points loss or something.

 

[legacyzero]

Dudes be seeing THIS when they get ker-pwned.

If the game continues to reward players considerably more for kills than capping points that is what you will get.

GOTTA GIVE DAT POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT AND SKINNER BOX GAMEPLAY YO.

Looks like you haven't been reading anything people are saying here.

That said, I haven't had a match freeze on me ONCE.

Spoiler

In my two matches

The military loves its excessive profanity, but it's usually used as a decoration for the rest of the sentence, to add emphasis.

Battlefield 4 is somehow perfectly fine with allowing a string of profanity to qualify as a coherent sentence and "authentic dialogue".

 

[The Faceless Master]

Valparaíso BC2, DAT HILL.

But winning on that map felt like the best thing ever.

that was so much fun. it took effort and teamwork.

Yep, I said this during Beta. It's specially bad in obliteration. You have a ton of recons just camping the known bomb spawn points the entire match. You can play the bomb, set one, defend one, defuse another one, get a fair number of kills, AND still end up well under the 21-3 recon campers in points. I have no idea why DICE continues to ignore this.

 

[aranth]

This launch is a complete mess with all the server crashes, questionable netcode and terrible client stability. I managed to persuade two friends to buy the game and I shudder to think what are they gonna say when they experience this shit.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Looks like actual Hardcore servers are starting to come online, but their settings are still messed up. Minimap is missing. You can still Friendly Fire with claymores and mines (lol). Just more stuff for DICE to patch.

I have found a few good Custom servers though, with all the normal "hardcore" settings.

=S*E= Hardcore is a good one.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Love it

damn, now that sounds like an awesome hardcore mode.

why should claymores and mines not FF when everything else does!?

 

[BattleMonkey]

I haven't had a single crash in this game, yay!

Now only if I can stop sucking so bad in MP......

 

[PoweredBySoy]

Zavod 311 is the worst BF map I have played.

I like the terrain and look of it, but the layout is pretty crap. Although I recently discovered the tunnel between C and D, which makes the middle a little more manageable.

I also feel like almost every map needs like 25% less armored vehicles - especially those lovable attack boats.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

I like hardcore for a couple very specific reasons - no regen health and no neon triangles. FF mines and claymores make the game almost unplayable. Luckily not many people are using them at the moment.

So levelcap is also hugely disappointed with the net code and server crashes

BF4 launch problems - Net code needs to change

I said the netcode was shit the first day on the official forums, most of the replies were, "just you bro."

Glad to see it isn't "just me" dying around corners, behind hard cover, from people that aren't even there on my screen until I'm dead.

 

[Fried Food]

I really like playing engineer as an anti-aircraft role

 

[Makoto]

The IGLA is too fun to troll people with. Having it reacquire the lock and hitting the vehicle after some scrub pilot flares is hilarious.

DICE better not nerf it.

 

[Nori Chan]

Could you share your emblems with somebody? I am not as artistic as you guys lol

+350 points for Flag Neutralization

+500 points for Flag Capture

And then my personal idea:

minus 100 points if the point you just captured is neutralized within 30 seconds.

Client side hit detection is so awful and it will always be awful.

 

[JimPanzer]

ohh man buy this or the new pokemon...can't decide

 

[Sn4ke_911]

.

 

[abracadaver]

game crashes randomly for me.

sometimes every few minutes, sometimes after 2 hours :-(

 

[Sethos]

Epic tank match, service ribbons left and right, double XP enabled and I was on track for 40k+ game - Server crash.


I ... Bu ...

 

[Ateron]

Have they reworked the guns yet? Is the AK-12 still OP in burst mode?
I recall recoil being almost inexistent in most weapons in the beta, except for the MX4 and ACR. Have they made any changes?

Thanks!

 

[meshwork]

You mean can you get someone else's emblem? Sure. Just go to battlelog and click their emblem in their profile, it should give you an option of copying it

I have to agree with him it is even worse the BF3. Such a dissapointment that dice not worked on a better netcode.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

This game has probably the worst netcode i've ever seen in a first person shooter.

Even worse than BF3.

 

[Big_Al]

Gah. Really enjoying the game itself and it's been fun jumping into games but man I've had so many problems with 'Disconnected from Origin' when trying to join servers, it's crashed randomly on me a few times between rounds and generally doesn't seem to be as stable as it could be. Ok it's a Battlefield game at launch but still annoying.

It also doesn't help that after finishing my single player campaign none of the progress seems to have been saved on Battlelog and the weapons I unlocked are nowhere to be found in multi. *sigh*

And

the humanitarian scene

near the end made me laugh. The dialogue was so cliched...

 

[Sethos]

Random GIFs because I have nothing better to do when I can't play.

Oh and one thing I didn't know, you lift your weapon when crossing waist / chest high water.
