Ashamed? Locker is fun as hell!

locker is a lot better than metro because you can take the outside path to flank
Until everyone covers both routes, then it's as bad as Metro.

this almost never happens because the path outside is a good distance away from the panopticon, on metro the two stairs @ flag c were right next to each other
You just want to deny the glory of Locker!
I get so many noobtube and airburst kills on that map it's kinda sad.
It's also a good place to get a bunch of med kit and ammo kit points.
Play 64 player, then it "almost
The maps are (once again) not built for 64-players, but that's all the PC community will play. 32 players are barren or empty. It's royally sad.
And the game continues to CTD or disconnect me.

Getting spawn killed by attack boats on Paracel Storm because your team is too incompetent to kill them is a quick way to rage quit and not want to play for the rest of the day....
This map isn't fun in rush at all.

For majority of the beta, it wouldn't even load for me, so this is a big improvement from that
The problem I have is when I spawn into a boat the driver always cruises up to a spot offshore one of the islands, then just sits there in one spot while we take heavy fire.

Heh, I always take the 50.cal sniper and pick off boat gunners cause they're usually sitting ducks.

i only play 64 player and nope
Good for you, you're extremely lucky then. Because that map has people covering both sides all the damn time I'm playing on it.

Ah fair enough, I can certainly understand those reasons.
I've been spending a lot of time recently playing Domination/Team Deathmatch for smaller matches. I'm enjoying the core gunplay a lot more compared to BF3. Found a fun as hell Pistol/Knife only Domination server which is a blast to play as well for something different
lol, this sounds amazing. Link for the sever?
Reasonable amount in Australia also. Much more longer life time and more thorough strategy panning out instead of being shot in all the hectic craziness that is 64 player.
As mentioned above and will always be an issue. Fucking snipers, really :| Camp on a roof a click away from an objective, getting the objective done only to be camp shot from someone who's borderline useless outside of TDM.
Personally like joining a squad without any snipers, gives better options on spawning and more likely an objective driven group.

64p, as it always been, map dependent. Shanghai and Dawnbreak are fine at 64 but its absolute shit in Operation. Paracel Storm is another terrible map for 64 players, fucked up water to land ratio and OP boats, yeah I'm gonna go ahead and test out my quit button.
Here is a knife only that I play on from time to time: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...-2d71e4bdd9bc/CROW-10-oxxxx-Knife-Only-xxxxo/
It must not have been the only reason, but this had to have been one reason DICE opted not to put runways in the game.
I'd say Shanghai is the only one worth playing on 64-players, BUT: Not in Rush.
Dawnbreaker is pretty bad, I haven't played it outside of Rush and Obliteration but on both 64-players is WAYYYY too much.
That doesn't mean that it can't be fun (in Obliteration) like the other maps, but it's downright TERRIBLE in Operation Locker. Which "Metro 1.5" until "Metro 2.0" ships for BF4 then everyone will make server rotations of the two for LOLOLOL RANK UP. *sigh*
Law's weak damage versus a good gunner/pilot group solo = death.
Even if you plug it with like multiple LAWs it feels like it takes forever to bring it down.

I'm convinced DICE has a special algorithm that puts me in the worst team configuration possible.
That is beyond messed up...

I'm convicted I'm the worst player ever.
Hahaha, I know that feel.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: DICE should just do away with stats outside of global and per-weapon accuracy and kills for the weapons. KPM, SPM, WLR, KDR all of that is just e-peen wanking and should go so people enjoy the game however they want.
"BUT THEN PEOPLE WON'T PLAY THE OBJECTIVEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!" Just like they aren't now because they have to get that KDR, bro?

What are you hating?
The few 32 player 24/7 Locker servers in Europe are always packed. I play on them a lot.

Played all day without any issues. Attempted to mess around with the Campaign only to CTD.

Haven't finished a game in the last 2 hours due to crashing. Doesn't matter what map/mode. Never been like this before. Hate losing all those points
See post after that.

Underwater C4:ing on floodzone = amazing!
GIF/Vid or it didn't happen!!
Ashamed because as much as I like Locker, it's not a classic Battlefield game, and I've been playing Battlefield since 1942 launch. There are no vehicles, for one.
But that said I will defend it a bit: Locker is NO Metro. Like others said, there are many paths around to flank, including the snow. The top/bottom entrances to C is the closest you get to the Metro stairs, but even then a match rarely starts and ends there, unlike just about every match of Metro @ the stairs. There are so many blind corners, it's just fun.
And a great place to grind too. It would have taken me weeks on the huge maps to grind the kills I needed to unlock the ACE 23 and the revives and heals I needed to unlock basic things like the large med bag.
I'm convinced DICE has a special algorithm that puts me in the worst team configuration possible.
It helps to play with friends, even if those friends are people you've met in Battlefield who were decent players. Try to add them to friends list and see if they'll accept.
As for those wins up there one of our group decided to play as a engineer on infantry maps with the LAW launcher and imitate Armand Assante from Judge Dredd every time he got a kill with it.

is it me or does this game look almost too clean ?Im playing at 1080p 4XMSAA and it almost looks too sharp...I know what I'm saying sounds bizarre but I think having a level of post AA would help.
???
Turn on Post AA then. It's in the menu...

most servers in bf3 had a team scrambler script if the ticket difference was too high, i imagine we'll see the same for bf4, at least i hope we do

This is what happens when you try FXAA.
FXAA, not even once.

i tried to m2slam an attack boat with the ski on paracel.
Wave sent me over the attack boat, m2 slams went off, took myself out literally just out of reach of the attack boat.
I was laughing for about a minute before i resumed normal programming by raging at a recunt in the squad camping that tower whilst A was being capped by the enemy team. He wasn't even looking at it! I even told him to aim at A!

Not in my experience. I've always been able to break through the outside. Defenders being mostly static make them very vulnerable to mortars, sraw sureshots, grenades, etc.
On top of that we have smoke that blocks spotting, unlike the gimp bf3 smoke.
If you want to flank you can, just a matter of doing it properly.
