That's tied to the EA servers.

I can't check since I'm at work butI think I play with 120% res on 1080P with no AA.
30-60 fps. Average 35-40 except on Flood Zone which goes down to the 20s.
I avoid that map like a plague, dislike the design.
Running an OC 670
You got to be shitting me. So there is no point in playing at the moment due to risk of losing any type of progress. Great I just bought a coaster.
KZSF looks pretty next-gen to me.
Agree about the button switching though.. that's fucking annoying. As is the method to group of with friends (if you can even call it that). What the fuck were they thinking? The one year I finally convince my COD friends to switch and they pull this kind of bullshit..

TDM on Locker with the MTAR is SO much fun.
Yeah... I'm pretty frustrated with that too. Plus the fact I got BF4 physical and KZ SF digital so I can't play SF yet...

NOTICE: We are currently experiencing attacks on our infrastructure that is impacting online gameplay on BF4 PC. We are working on mitigating actions
ah how lame. Doesn't show me that notice for some reason.
Had this the whole day, it's prolly because the servers are being DDOS'ed or something.
They have this notice on the battlelog:

tbh after all this fiasco im not suprised they didnt even protected themselfs against this kind of attacks.
Lost my faith on dice
Watching TheRussianBadger stream his twitter conversation with Hannah's voice actress right now.
Pretty entertaining.
Pretty entertaining.
It is really bad..
I was going to buy a 290 when the AIB cards came out, but then again, there's not really that much to get that card for just yet either. At this point I might actually just wait for the next generation of gpus.
Wah? Is this what's screwing up the PS4 servers too or are they just BSIng because they have other problems?

Jesus really?
Fuck.. with how long it takes to grind out the unlocks I would be fairly pissed off.
I had one day last weekend where I was having a great day of BF4. I'd fixed my crashing, the audio looping, everything. I was loving it. So, I decided I'd pony up for Premium. Stupid fuck me basing this off of one good day.
I'm very much regretting that decision.
I hope it's not another 'troops in the open slaughtered by mobiles' level though.
Everyone in your squad died before getting the upgrade. Or rather, everyone in the squad was dead at a single time before anyone respawned to achieve the goal.
EDIT: Although, there could be more to it than that as highlighted below. Not achieving certain goals etc.

Has anybody successfully gotten a refund from EA/Origin for this?
At this point it's worth a try. They gotta know their game is completely unplayable.

It's basically killstreaks. The little green bar with icons next to your map? That fills up as you gain score during a life. You get boosts (four total) and can pick which pack you use. Offensive, defensive, sneakytype, and some other shit.
It's... a thing.

Are we sure it's not DICE attacking their own servers? They've somehow managed to make the game worse from beta to release, then even worse from release to first client update.

You can try.. you'd best be suited calling them if you do.
Please report if you succeed and what finally got them to do it.

Wonder why he was banned his post history didn't look bad
And don't worry about the servers, new popular games always have this problem lol
You should probably just use 1080p with FXAA and as much MSAA as you can afford. Using the resolution slider for supersampling is a big performance investment for not much IQ return. Personally I use 1080p at 85% resolution scale (roughly 1600x900 internal res) and I'm happy with it on my 560ti
You and your squad build meter, for lack of a better term. As the meter hits different levels you'll receive upgrades depending on which perk you select (more c4, mines etc.). The commander can also manually give you these boosts, but if your entire squad is wiped out you have to start building the meter again, which is why the "last man in squad" message is important, on top of simply just giving people a place to spawn.

How are you guys unlocking the China Rising guns? I dont see them, even though yesterday in a ranked game I was killed by someone using the L85A2.

Look up the assignments to unlock them online. They aren't on battlelog or in the game unlock progress stuff.
I think it's less twitchy than Halo and COD. Plus there are a lot of different roles you can play so you can help your team even if you kind of suck.
DICE probably accidentally activated it.
You need to complete all the tasks for the assignments on 1 round or they'll reset.
I've already got the L85 and MTAR
Being good at twitch shooters will help but you'll be just fine if you're not good at it. Unless you're playing TDM it doesn't matter.

What FPS do you get with that? I have the same card, game seems really un-optimized for me.

I have the best BF4 emblem of all time.
Everyone else won't be seeing this map pack until like, February or March, right?
Oman looking nice. Sort of excited to play this next week - hopefully the Xbox One version will launch smoothly.lol

Yep, I bought the game for 64 player conquest, and it's the only mode that screws up for me. I did get two crashes at the main menu though, and recording is messed up since it doesn't have any audio. Hopefully all these issues will be sorted out soon. I gave DICE a second chance after BF3, hope I don't come to regret it.

Just had server and client crashes for 7/7 attempts to play a round of Conquest (about 15-20 minutes in each time) today. My first BF is a great introduction to the Battlefield series thus far ...
