Yeah and I've prevented quite a few myself too. You have to do it right at the start of the animation. Otherwise your shots do nothing

Also, it is absolutely infuriating that if I can't connect to the online servers, it automatically sends me to singleplayer. I bought a Battlefield game, I do not want to play singleplayer, I want to play multiplayer. Instead it should just say, "Can't connect to servers, would you like to play singleplayer? Yes or No?"

Just as I go to install the game of course.

This has never happened to me
Cool, I was just thinking about what Snkfanatic was saying about him not being able to stop someone from stabbing someone else? Which to me would make sense if the person is doing a stab from behind but not necessarily from the front since you're able to counter that. But that's cool that you can save ppl then =) That's what you expect to be able to do .
It should open the singleplayer. Did the same thing in BF3. Try it now while the servers are down.

Really? Never had this happen in BF3 or BF4 either.

Same here, Origin seemingly back online.
Edit: Holy 23GB, not playing this one tonight.

The best thing is stabception where you stab the dude who just stabbed a dude. Happened the other day to some pals (friend got stabbed, other friend then stabbed him right as the animation ended) when I was playing but sadly didn't think to have shadowplay running.
You can stop it if you are behind the person who initiated the stab and if you catch it early enough. I've saved/been saved by teammates.
Eh?
Welp, I think it's broke. Games are not loading for me now. It brings up the load screen then just sits at black screen forever.

It tells me to install the newest battlelog plugin to play. Ive installed it 5 times already but it still doesnt let me play. what to do ?
Yesterday I started enjoyed the game more when I unlocked a nice optic for my SAR and was Squad Leader, even though I didn't know if I was being a good leader. The only think to do is setting a keypoint on the objective and ask for scans, supplies, etc to the commander, right?

I think the issue that was being brought up with that gif is that the guy is shooting the person but not getting the kill because the other guy on his team is stabbing the dude. It seems that if one person is locked in the stab animation, you can't kill steal.

That's all good. Fundamentally you want to ensure you're either capturing points, defending points if they're being taken and asking for resupply from your commander after a firefight is always a good idea, esp if you've been up against tanks etc and need to restock your engies and lack for a full support pack.

Speak some truth to me, GAF. I am very very close to canceling my preorder of this game on PS4. With all the glitches and crashes, it seems that it may be better to wait it out than slog through the frustration. BF3 took almost a year to be mostly fixed on PS3 (audio glitches and what not) so is there any reason to believe BF4 will be any different?
Is it worth paying $110 for this experience at this time? I guess I did get $20 back in PSN credit so is this worth $90?
Having a bit of buyers remorse I suppose. I really wanted EA/Dice to be more on the ball with this game.

LMAO, no. Battlefield 3 looks a hell of a lot better than Battlefield 4 on consoles.

Nope. You can. Just not from your own teammate doing the kill.
Also seks, beached boat is beast boat!
Hmm, while gunning with you in the boat I've noticed that when you come to a stop, your name disappears from being the driver for a moment. Is that because you're using the TV missile at that time?
Great shot btw...
Yes, such a stupid bug.
Client updates goes live tomorrow:

I wouldn't. The game is amazing. Best Battlefield ever, IMO. The PC update coming tomorrow will hopefully eliminate many of the crashes so I wouldn't be surprised if the PS4/XBone versions also get a patch quickly after launch if not day 1.
Besides, what else are you going to play? Killzone looks like shit. CoD? Bleh. Knack?

Just realized this is purely described as a PC client patch, with no mention of the equivalent console client patches that are surely in the works.
Could we actually be so lucky to have PC patches uncoupled from the Microsoft / Sony patch certification process?
Yes, yes yes yes yes.
I've really been holding off to save on frustration and its been killing me!

I thought the same thing. It's a mess. Especially one of the maps, I forget the name, the grass and shrubs just appear in front of you. The textures in general are just bad/nonexistent
I think it's just because their main focus was for the PC then next gen versions and optimizing for those and in doing so had to scale a ton of stuff back. The game does a lot and is still a lot of fun so I just do my best to overlook it. I hope it's something that can get fixed, although I'm not too confident
The cost of being a peasant
Myself, and several others, had some weird issues on PS3 last night:
1 - Weapon and gear unlocks resetting to the beginning.
2 - Beginning default gear (i.e. ammo packs, repair tool) popping up as "unlocked" when using them.
3 - End of game didn't run through XP earned and gear/rank progress screens.
4 - No one in the room showing a rank on the scoreboard.
5 - Battlelog has no record of these games in "Reports".
All that, and Battlelog still shows all my unlocked gear, and rank 21. It's as if last night's games took place in an alternate universe!

I believe that's a server issue. I have had the same issue on PC a couple of times, and it seemed tied to a specific server each time.
256meg RAM/2005-2007-ish hardware for a title that wants 2-4gigs in 2012-2013 hardware.

Old old problem. Happens on PC as well. DICE's stat servers are either down or not being able to be pinged too correctly to get your stuff. Annoying, but not game breaking.
I've noticed all of the cross-gen games seem to have performance issues.
Biting off more than they could chew it would seem.
I'm probably overgeneralizing a bit, but you have to imagine that 5-6 platforms is a serious commitment. Probably why Destiny and MGSV are going to get delayed PC versions.

Finally!
Haven't touched the game in 2 days due to the constant crashes.
On the other hand I didn't know about the network smoothing thing, what does it do exactly ?
Good news, but looks like it is confirmed that we are stuck behind console approval processes once more.

The setting affects how much interpolation the game does between packets to try and provide a visually smooth experience by showing players and such where it thinks they should be based on what packets you've recieved. Drop a lot of packets with it set to zero, and enemies will jump around as your client updates. The trade off with it on is that you may not be seeing "reality" as the server and other clients see it.
Ideally, your connection is good enough to set it to zero, or otherwise keep it as low as possible without unbearable visual problems.
How so?

Better fix the audio issues. Thats by far what im most pissed about.
The console patch went out today. That means it was submitted for approval at least a week prior.
Same system happened for BF3.
Didn't know the console versions got patched too.

You sure about this? A server update happened this morning for consoles but DICE's last word on the client patch, as of yesterday, was they were "testing & finalizing" it and an ETA would be revealed soon.
