No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Considering they never did that in BF3 I somehow doubt they will.
Instead they decided to nerf the MPADS instead leaving us on foot SOL when it came to trying to take the fucking things down. Basically if you didnt have a good pilot on your team you were screwed.

The performance is great, but i can't play v-synced without it locking at 30 or 60. It's as if half-refresh is turned on permanently if v-sync is enabled either in game or through the drivers.
Well yeah, if you're playing without without v-sync there isn't an issue - tearing aside.
Oh yeah, had this kid-commander that started the usual OMG UR MOM CANCER RAPE HAHAHAHAHAH U SUXXX0R shit. Can't wait for Ghosts to release, vacuum up these unfortunate elements.
I feel like Attack Jets are pretty much superior to Stealth Jets on all fronts. No heat seekers but a way better gun and the same turn-rate as a stealth fighter.
Also, how are ECM Jammers balanced against flares? ECM does the same thing as Flares but also prevents lock during a longer time.

amazing the difference between playing with a squad that don't care vs a squad doin wat the supposed to!
Makes the game very enjoyable on any map!!
also DICE need to rollout a fix for these crashes!!
crashed to desktop 3 times in the same round only to have the server itself crash a fourth lol..
Oh and.. it seems a miracle that im even able to play on the same team on the same server as 3-4 of my buddies let alone the same squad!

Awww... launch 2XP weekend event must've ended between 2AM and 7AM. Got on to get a few more rounds with it on before it generally shuts off at 2PM on Monday and no DICE.
What launch 2x weekend.....
The 2x event isn't until Nov 30th
QnA'd in the future.
The Gamestop pre-order code event.
Origin buyers didn't get one. But I got a good jump from buying retail and hoped to get to the MP-443 this morning. Alas.

This is the LA server I have. It's set to standard hardcore running Conquest Large and Rush mix. I can change it to whatever though. My problem is keeping people in it playing since as you can see it's empty at the moment.
same here. have to press Q to get it back every 30 secs
Already slowly getting bored of the game. Same thing, every single game. This is one of those games where one side can dominate so bad or just a few people can basically sit on the entire match in a helicopter or as a squad. That means you are pushed back completely AND people start leaving because they don't like to lose. Then you can sit there for 15-20 minutes just waiting. Close matches or even interesting matches are a 1/100 deal, matches that suddenly turn are 1/1000 and when they happen, it's usually because someone leaves / or great players join.
And when you join a server with room it's because people left and they usually leave the losing side, so you can join a losing match and just scratch your ass. Eugh, one of the things that slowly put me off Battlefield 3. Miss being able to single-handedly turn matches in other FPS games.
It goes the other way too. When you are on a dominating team, you are just chasing timid rabbits that don't stand a chance anywhere. When someone finally shows up, they die within seconds and sometimes you can wander around aimlessly just capturing flags if there's any left to capture while the points tick down.

I started using it yesterday and it never crashed on me. The only bad thing that did happen was it failing to load a new map when the match ended. A quick quit and reload solves that though.
The problem is: (And something I've been harping on for ages) KDR/WLR/other stats.
DICE should really remove anything that isn't the kills with weapon and accuracy stats. Maybe leave SPM but that's such a meaningless stat with 2XP that it's pointless as the others.
If they removed the W/L and made it like TF2, it'd improve the community from being paranoid about their stats, I feel.
It should get better. This game really isn't very accessible right now. Not only does it take a very good rig to run decently, but there are so many performance problems, problems with the servers, disconnects, etc., bugs, etc. that I believe many are staying away. Particularly to protect their stats, as TheSeks is saying.
This reminds me of the original BF 1942 roll-out, now THAT was bad. But once they patched it, the community grew exponentially.
Won a game with 1 ticket left. Lost another 0-3. I get tight games now and then. Not super common, but not 1 in a 100 either.
I said that since BF2, but they keep adding stats, and everyone is boasting about their K/D ratio ... which is pretty idiotic in a Battlefield game.
They were mostly completly stupid about having the same balance on console and PC. On ps3 the tracer was shit mostly due to controler < mouse; and almost no one was good with AT4 ( again controler ), so chopper were king, and chopper vs chopper didn't exist past the first kill since they would base rape.
Based on bf3, they won't, they will even nerf the AA.

Just ram helicopters like most other jet pilots who are still learning. Protip: Make sure it is the other team's helicopters. Sigh.
Attack jets can murder the shit out of armor with their main gun.
Everyone who is having problems with crashes, stop playing on 64 person servers. I have not had a server crash and only one client crash in the last two days. Performance has been great since I started playing 32 and 48 pop servers.
Everyone should be playing obliteration also. When both teams are going for it that game mode is so much fun.

Heh. That's Battlefield. Any game with such massive player counts, one that rewards percentage of useful players versus individual players, and has a wide spectrum of equipment/tools/vehicles with variable balance is going to have similar problems. When a match is clearly a landslide in favour of the opposition there's not much you can do except grit through and ride off the little victories.
Despite the many hours I put into Battlefield 3, nothing will stop it harbouring both some of the best and most infuriating multiplayer matches I've ever played in a video game. When everything clicks it's bliss. When it's frustrating it's a goddamn nightmare.
Shit, I don't like to hear this. This is what completely turned my friends and I off from BF3. We were all planning on getting it on PS4, but are holding back because we thought there was a good chance it would be the same story all over again. The fact that there's not even a party system this time around is frightening.

What does it matter if your team loses though? So you don't get a few extra points. I just concentrate on doing my own best and getting my best score possible.
With longer and big scale games like BF, you tend to get much more often situations of a team dominating the other, but that is the nature of larger scale games. The smaller setting maps and death match and other modes all are faster paced and have more closer games, but it's not why lot of people play BF
Seems like you can only get a decent price on it/voucher to work; on the NA version of the premium; anyone know if NA premium would work with an euro version of the game ?
Yeah, you are right. It's just frustrating because many times you get pushed all the way back and when the enemy sees they, they basically set up a tight perimeter around the general default spawn area. So you have about a movement area the size of small front lawn. Then you can just sit there and get blasted to hell. When people's moral is breaking the fighting also becomes lopsided everywhere else, the other team just grows exponentially stronger it's a weird effect but it's just a cascading effect that just won't turn.
When my team is winning I'm an expert marksman, everything I do is pulled off perfectly and I feel like an FPS god. When my team is doing badly I can aim at the ground and birds start falling out the sky, I manage to blow up myself or miss the 3 guys standing in front of me.

More crashes than ever today, damn.
So finally got my M249 from the campaign
I think I might be the only one here to of got the Level 6 Dam bug...
Where essentially if you die in or around the Dam, the game wont resume the level, just constantly crashes...20 pages of complaints about it on EA forum
needless to say it remains unfixed, the only solution is to restart the level, and DONT DIE!!

tried over and over on different browsers to purchase BF4 standard with the coupon code they provided for 10$ off before release of the game.
The damn thing would gimme error when it would try and validate my bank of America card with that stupid app looking thing they have...
Lame had to go origin..

All you need is a thermal scope.I'm so bad at this game. I can't really see the enemy even if they stand right in front of me.

Battlefield...where you'll unload 300 rounds down iron sight at point blank range and hit nothing.
...where an enemy's short 3 round burst from across the map drops you instantly.
...where nobody on your team spots.
...where the sky is dominated by helicopter player with a KDR of 50-1.
...where enemy tanks require 40 rockets to take down.
...where nobody drops ammo.
...where you're shot out of the air before you can properly lift off.
...where every spawn is circled by 10 enemies, all aiming at you.

This is more true than anything I've ever heard, and it should replace, or be placed in the theme song for BF games of the future.
I hate watching those "Awesome Plays" vids because I see these dudes do the same shit I do, but the difference is, they seem to always get away with it. It reminds me of when Girrafe camo came out for Planetside, and Vanu players would wear it because it made you look more neutral to red team. Sometimes you could walk right in front of them and it wouldn't immediately register in their minds that you're unfriendly. That's what I see in these videos. Dude runs into a group of enemy and manages to shootbang them all before they can turn. Or dude goes around to flank and the enemy DON'T know he's there, waiting with guns at the ready.
Feels like even when I switch teams, the enemy team is constantly Pinging me, or my camo must be glow in the dark.

One of your "negatives" for a 64-player online game is that you can't single-handedly turn matches?

You can, though. I've done so. My K/D was a nice 2/17 and I had the most points on the server because I PTFO more than anyone on either team. We won.
This is the kind of shit that makes my blood boil to a point of complete rage. A lot of shit I can handle but this respawn-right-in front-of-you fucking bullshit can go shove a sharp dagger up its ass and do a late night boogie.
Here's the EU server
http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...3307dd30ee05/NeoGAF-net-Unofficial-EU-Server/
I dont see him spawn out of thin air. If you look at the gif, he runs up to you from the guy that is standing on the left.
Yes, he did. You can see he plonks down and I heard it too - I was there.
No, I just said I miss it and I don't play 64 Player matches.

Pretty sure he spawned from that guy on the left.

KDR is a borderline worthless metric in Conquest. I mean, every kill the opposition's tickets, and their deaths eat yours. So it's good to get lots of kills while doing as little dying as possible. But ticket bleed is essential and if you're not helping the team capture flags and push the opposition back you can fuck right off. Lost count of the amount of times I'd be on the losing team, and the person with the highest KDR in the entire match will be alongside us. Great you camped in a hole sniping, grinding to unlock more shit. Sure helped us win.
I think it's drag from the Call of Duty crowd, plus traditional shooters, where KDR is absolutely essential to benefit both your own score and the teams. The only metric of success in most shooters is being able to kill as many as you can while dying as little as possible. This isn't true for Battlefield's Conquest and never has been, though is useful for TDM for obvious reason.
This is why I sunk so many hours into TF2 CTF and Payload. And also why the first advice I give any new TF2 player is "your KDR does not equate to value towards your team, nor how to best play your class". In both TF2 and Battlefield you can smoke your team's scoreboard and sit right at the top without having close to the best KDR by doing other shit.

In any case, the DMRs are pretty enjoyable. Fairly rubbish as the leading you have to do is crazy and their damage is quite low for a semi-automatic weapon but it really sends a tingling sensation down your spine when you get a well-placed medium range kill with them. Always had a soft spot with semi-automatics in any FPS.
