It was a 32 player server, I don't join rush games over that limit, it was bad. Another bad rush map is rogue transmission.

Ah, yeah. The attack first set on Hainan right now is just bad. I dunno if it's lack of map experince/teamwork or not right now but it's shooting fish in a barrel if you don't C4 the boats to where the defense can't take them. If nobody does that it's GG attackers you're gonna have to swim into my RHIB stolen boat hellfire.

It also sounds like the helicopters need two pilots to where the Scout/Magnum P.I. helicopter focuses on taking out the AA-wagon/LVD while the transport chopper goes sideways (pilots REALLY do not understand that the gunners can't hit shit if they're facing where the gunners should be firing at. Fucking 180 degree views, you numbnuts, same with the attack boat) to provide one side/gunner a full 180-degree view to lay hellfire on infantry or the AA wagon as well.

I don't really care for Rouge Transmission in general on ANY mode I've tried (Obliteration/Rush), but I can't really call that "broken" per-say just yet. I blame lack of team effort for most of the attackers losses on Rush for that map since they don't push up and RUSH the first set quickly.

The one map that I REALLY hate attacking/defending on is the desert... forgetting the actual title... two-tanks per team map. If the other team has godly tank pilots and engineers backing them up it's basically GG for the other side. I really think the RPG's damages need to be raised slightly because of that, much to the complaining of tank pilots in here (sorry guys, I'd like my efforts to be rewarded beyond "fuck RPG's go C4 instead for anti-tank roles").

Speaking of Tank Piloting: Guided Shells don't seem as GDLK as they did in BF3. I partially attribute this to the "hold to lock" (WTF is with this change, DICE?) system and partially on the maps. Shells follow a straight line and since you have to "hold to continue to lock" you can't quickly fire over cover after backing up to prevent them from main-gunning you to death to fire the guided shell and then switch to the main-gun to have a double-hit disable whammy. It's like a wire-guided TOW but without the actual "skill" to get a tank-hit-in-the-ass with it because it just does what the TOW does but in a dumb-fire sort-of-way. Hard to explain.

First match today...crashes.

Between these crashes and couple of blue screens from who knows what...I'm getting pretty fed up.

Those are awesome emblems seriosbrad, I need to start on one the next time I get dc'd from a game.

Where do you enter the code on the battlelog to get emblem you created? Would love to use that q3 emblem.

To import emblems:
  1. Go to your emblem editor
  2. Start a new emblem, leave it blank
  3. Start up your browser console (CTRL+SHIFT+J in Chrome)
  4. Paste code
  5. Enter

To export:
  1. Start editing emblem you wish to share
  2. Open browser console (see above)
  3. Paste this:
    Code: 
    $('body').html('<pre style="color:#000;">emblem.emblem.load('+JSON.stringify(emblem.emblem.data,null,2)+');</pre>');
  4. Enter
  5. Copy to pastebin.com

Note:
Non-premium members can not add more than 20 layers.

The Quake 3 one is 9 layers heh.

Ooh didn't realize you could still get C4 with support. Nothing like sneaking up on a tank and placing those bad boys on it
and then trying to get away and shot just before you detonate. :(

Recon with Pokeballs + C4 and a Support with Ammo crate and C4 is brutal. Run around all game C4ing everything

Too scared to go into COD thread. Does anyone know if COD is having problems too?

Tempted to buy COD of all frikkin games to tie me over until Dice fixes their shit. I estimate probably 100k XP down the toilet so far. It'd be somewhat ok if the round was finishing and losing the XP but it feels so pointless to just crash 20minutes into the game, if lucky to even get that far.

Can't launch game if have less than 6GB RAM, game only uses <2
FOV locked at 65

There are fixes for both of these issues now with 3rd party programs.

These are great!

I wonder if something like this would be possible? After all, they are just made of triangles.
It would depend on the maximum amount of allowable layers, and even then, it would be premium only.

I lost so much progress today. Come on, DICE!
Click to expand...

Same here. I opened up all of my gold battlepacks from my deluxe edition of the game all at once. I must have had +175% of XP for 1 hour. I lost nearly all of that progress. Game crashed after a 30+ min battle logged back in and none of it was there. Played again for another 20 minutes and the game locked up my entire machine and I had to reboot. Logged back in and all of it was gone.

You have to enable the XP boosts after you unlock them from your battle packs so you probably didn't use any of it :)

If you're playing on PC you have to press esc and the option to enable it is in the bottom right corner.

What are the circumstances under which someone can counter a knife attack? Or can you always counter it?

Back in Beta I managed to counter 2 attacks, but died to 3-4 more and I never got the "press F to counter" pop-up in at least 1 of them.
Click to expand...

You can only counter if you get knifed from the front afaik

You killed me too many times earlier... I don't like you lol

Seriously though I suck at this game so far, I was pretty damn good at BF3 but now in BF4 it's like learning a whole new game. Plus some maps are abysmal for infantry
Click to expand...
Yea, on Railway, I was pretty awful myself(and pretty sure you killed me quite a bit on that match). Couldn't do anything against anybody and there were a few experienced pilots out there really making my life difficult as well!

I was never great at BF3, but I could do alright. Never really learned to be a great vehicle pilot, though. That needs to change.

I'd save XP boosts til the crashing issues are resolved. Otherwise, you're risking wasting them.

Is anyone else having issues trying to log into battlelog? I keep getting 'An unknown error occurred trying to log you in, please try again in a while'

Yep - Pro tip. Do not try and knife someone from the front!! You'll get countered most of the time because that F button is there for ages.

I just love the satisfaction of counter knifing someone who thinks they've snuck up on you and you turn around cause you hear their footsteps and bam knife then counter. When it happens to me I get all "FUCKING FUCK" yell like so I'm sure it happens to most people when it happens. I love the mechanic, it's awesome.

I've also just unlocked the SCAR with the Assault class and was able to come first in my team a few games in a row with TDM. The gun is unbelievably powerful, it will win most firefights hands down (AEK-971 still seems to be the best though, can't wait to try that out), although the fire rate and laser like accuracy of the ACW-R still makes that my favorite weapon.

I said was out until they fixed the crashing, but I haven't been able to stay away. I've just been playing in small servers like 24 - 32 and domination and tdm and less 'big big' maps and it's been doing okay.
