i hate playing on a team who wont fucking spot players. fuck!

Indeed, it's pretty irksome. Especially when you're dealing with Tanks etc and having that heads up on incoming can be extremely beneficial. Ironically the more Recon on your team the less spotting goes on I find, because by on large they're more interested in personal gain than advantaging the team. I've swapped teams just to mortar lazy assed Recon into fish paste before. Fuckers need to understand what their actual role is.

 

[Acinixys]

So the m1911 is shit in this game

Such a shame

M9 is the best

 

[Scofield94941]

geting this game for ps4, played over 300 hours on battlefield 3 on 360 and my gun of choice was the f2000....bf4 hardcore players what is the closest gun to the f2000 in bf4?

 

[leng jai]

So if I buy a key off Amazon UK it'll work on my AU Origin account right?

F2000 is coming in the first dlc. But as of now I would say m416.

 

[Garrus Vakarian]

I wasn't expecting the best going into this but the game is borderline unplayable, I don't know how I can put a clip into someone and shoot first and have them kill me in 5 bullets. With 30ms ping no less.

i wish sniper rifles were locked away behind getting spotting ribbons as recon.

edit: and the game seems to be down. might as well, the last game i was on consisted or recon on my team and mortar spam from the other team. sigh.

 

[bodyboarder]

Mid game, and I was playing so well, ffs.

 

[HariKari]

PC update is roughly 1 GB.

PC update is roughly 1 GB.

Mines flying speed wise, a little faster then usual.

Thanks for pointing that out, my origin didn't pick up that there was a patch apparently, had to manually refresh. (Worth a try for other people).
Edit: download went from 2mb/s to 20kbps...

 

[DarkFlow]

Mines flying speed wise, a little faster then usual.

Not mine, I'm getting less then half my download speed right now. It's about 3 MB/s and I can download at 7.

 

[Fried Food]

oh man if this fixes net code I'm going all banderas on my facial expression

 

[Facism]

oh man if this fixes net code I'm going all banderas on my facial expression

i expect them to fix some things and break others.

 

[DarkFlow]

oh man if this fixes net code I'm going all banderas on my facial expression

I doubt it will, dice has never been good at netcode.

Stop downloading people, I'm getting 200 KB/s.

 

[illustri0us]

M9 is the best

What makes it the best?

Also, how's the burst pistol?

Seems I stole your bandwidth.

 

[DarkFlow]

I think so! My poor 50 Mbps speeds are wasted!

 

[BigTnaples]

Not nearly as disturbing as the animations from Battlefield 3 in slow motion.

I don't knife because it usually gets teammates killed. I did it even less after watching that.

Holy shit.


Those eyes. That defeat. Sadness. Death.


Crazy video. Never noticed it while playing.

 

[DarkFlow]

Battlelog is back up.

 

[Big_Al]

Looks like the patch completely fixed my campaign progress, all missions noted as completed on Battlelog. Hopefully that means the weapon unlocks are in the multi for me now when it goes back up.

 

[endresults]

I'm looking at the AEK's stats and they look the same as every other AR in the game. Why is it so popular? I'm rolling with the SCAR-H for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

 

[Big_Al]

Those are nasty but I always found the death sounds from Red Orchestra 2 more disturbing. Always felt more sorry for people I had shot in the game due to them.

http://symthic.com/bf4-compare?P226_vs_M9

The math says pick the gun you play the best with. There aren't many guns that are just flat out garbage this time around. I will say the REX and Magnum have an ungodly delay when firing that makes them terrible, especially with the netcode the way it is. Worse yet, they aren't even all that accurate ADS.

For the most part, I find how fast a pistol reloads totally irrelevant unless it's a revolver. It's an 'oh shit' moment gun, not a primary.

Symthic either has the wrong data, the comparison tool is broken, or the FN57 is a straight upgrade on the QSZ

I'm looking at the AEK's stats and they look the same as every other AR in the game. Why is it so popular? I'm rolling with the SCAR-H for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Rate of fire. Only thing that tops an AEK is a Famas, but the Famas has a nearly unusable reload time, so the AEK is king of CQC.

I'm guessing the insane fire rate.

 

[DarkFlow]

Well that patch did jack shit, already had a looping sound crash. Plus all my boosts are now gone that I got from battlepacks.

 

[Facism]

If the patch did anything, it didn't really fix what people wanted, ie netcode, crashes, performance.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

We are happy to report that the PC Battlefield 4 game update will go live tomorrow, November 14. The main focus of this update is threefold:

1) Reduce the number of crashes
We believe this update will solve a large portion of the most commonly occuring game crashes, and the improvement in overall stability should make a big difference for many players.

2) Eliminate a network sync bug
If you’ve been experiencing situations in multiplayer where it appears that you are taking damage from enemies through walls, you might have been the victim of a network sync bug. In this game update, we have identified and eliminated one such bug that caused this type of gameplay experience. We are continuing to work on more multiplayer optimizations concerning network performance.

3) Improve Network Smoothing
We have made some improvements to the ”Network Smoothing” functionality that you can find in the OPTIONS>GAMEPLAY menu. The Network Smoothing slider governs a group of settings that aim to produce a tighter multiplayer experience based on your specific packet loss situation.

If you’ve been experimenting with the Network Smoothing slider earlier, it might now yield better results. If you haven’t tried it before, please explore this setting and set it to the lowest value you can without experiencing graphical glitches in the game. By setting it lower, you can get a tighter multiplayer experience, depending on your specific network situation.

More details upcoming
Besides the above mentioned focus areas, this PC game update contains a number of other fixes and tweaks that we will detail once it’s live.

This game update for PC goes live around 10AM UTC/2AM PST November 14. Your Origin Client should acknowledge and automatically download this update for you, as usual. Otherwise, you can right click your game in the client and select ”Check for Update”. There will be a Battlelog maintenance downtime for about an hour as this update goes live. During this time multiplayer on PC will be unavailable.

We will release full patch notes for this game update later, but the three items mentioned above are by far the most important changes in this update. We understand that stability has been rocky for some players, and hope that this update will make the game run smoother and more stable for you. Let us know in the comments below.

If the patch did anything, it didn't really fix what people wanted, ie netcode, crashes, performance.

O rly?

 

[DarkFlow]

O rly?

Yes really. I've tried 2 servers, and crashed out of both of them with in 3 mins.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Must be something else going on then because I've not had any crashes whatsoever on any server even before this update.

 

[Big_Al]

Well I had a warning from a server around an hour ago about being disconnected due to updates so maybe there's something server side too which all servers need to update ?

 

[illustri0us]

Nice info Hari

Do U like the burst fire pistol?

 

[DarkFlow]

Well that's just super for you.

 

[derFeef]

Wonderful ... think I will play the new Payday 2 DLC instead today.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Well that's just super for you.

Yeah it is

 

[DarkFlow]

I can honestly say this patch made things worse for me. I've yet to last more then 2 mins on a server so far. Before I could go a few rounds sometimes before I would crash out.

 

[Kadayi]

Mines flying speed wise, a little faster then usual.

Same. Credit where credit is due. Origin is faster on the DL than Steam when it comes to DL speed.

 

[HariKari]

Nice info Hari

Do U like the burst fire pistol?

It did well in a pistols only server. Felt better than the G18, which is a hot mess except for shooting at 1 target no more than 5m from you. Looking at the data, a compensated 93R could be really fun. I'll have to try that.

 

[UnluckyKate]

is the super awesome secret as been found in the game yet ?

 

[TheThunder]

How are you playing, there are no servers?

 

[HariKari]

Test range has all the battle pickups on it now. Oh man, so fun.

 

[Tekku]

Mine is slow as hell. 6 hours remaining. :S

 

[DarkFlow]

How are you playing, there are no servers?

Umm there are a lot of servers up...

It's a close quarters beast. Great RoF and hip fire acc.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Anyone using Chrome Beta?

Keeps asking me to install plugin, uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin.

 

[THEaaron]

That plugin stopped working for me, too. Switched to Internet Explorer and was surprised how smooth it scrolls through the Server Browser. Damn.

But I want it to work again with Chrome. Maybe another Plugin causes that behaviour?

 

[DarkFlow]

look next to the star in the Address box, should be a little icon that's blocking the plug-in.

 

[derExperte]

Guess what's missing. Correct, sound on Lancang Dam.

So wtf did this 1 gig patch do? I feel like I just download 1 gig of junk.

Edit: I can't even enter test range now, I keep getting "Error, Could not communicate with BF4. Please use the Task Manager to close it down." It's not in my Task Manager...
