I Have it running @ 1080p on a 24" monitor and it looks sublime. A bit of ailising to be honest, but not enough to put me off enjoying the game. But I echo the sentiments above about how smooth an experience it has been. Whether that be 32 player rush/Obliteration maps or 64 player Conquest large maps. All in glorious 60fps!
I just had this happen to the snow on the outside area of Operation Locker.anyone get this issue at all?
have seen it in SP and MP .
Running BF4 on PC
i7 870 @3.5ghz
8gb ddr3
evga 680gtx 2gb
corsair tx650w
don't happen too often but just curious as to what causes it.
Yeah took me quite a few tries as well, didn't enjoy it one bit. Had to play cat and mouse a lot, running around on foot, retreating when spotted, unloading javelins from weird angles, etc. No fun.

you should get to a point after the beach where the tank that was escorting you is vacated and you'll be asked to get in.
I believe it happens right under a hi-way overpass.
The XM25 Airburst could fix thatOne of my favorite weapons
Using the Airburst while on the roof yourself is hilariously evil and unstoppable. Note to snipers: hiding behind stuff doesn't work against the Airburst. On Zavod TDM it's so overpowered and fun lol.
Tank was already damage and in the open.
Call me when you're fighting a 100% tank and they go behind cover from a disable (like Shanghai Attack first set) and have twenty people between you and it.
Bullet penetrated/hit more than one target. So yeah, "double kills" in a fashion.
The LAV has a TOW launcher as a secondary weapon (Y/triangle button). You can steer it onto a target and it does a lot of damage.
apparently it has something to do with dynamic IP, firewall or outdated punkbuster. there are many threads about this and all of them have different answers

I hate snipers...but that was a great shot.
I have the same problem. You can chose yor equipment in game, but not in battlelog.
Both weapons are secondary weapons. You must chose them in the loadout. They replace the machine gun.
I was playing Operation Locker last night and our team got off to a fast start and quickly capped 3 flags. So the game progresses and I think we were up about 500-250 or something.
Then a whole bunch of people joined the other team, many of them part of the same clan. We start losing tickets quickly. Then the strangest thing happened to me. I couldn't click on the map to deploy. I double clicked every flag, squad-mates, even the main spawn area and no matter what I couldn't deploy. When I did deploy, my mouse was not functional. I alt-tabbed out of the game and my mouse was working fine. My mouse eventually started to work but my shots didn't register at all. We ended up losing the game.
Hackers or just game bug?

However good a match I might have, a rarity in itself, there is always an incident that sullies the entire experience.
Near the end of a decent enough match I shot someone 7 times at a close distance. It sort of resembled the scene from Robocop when ED-209 malfunctions and lets rip on the worker in the OCP office*. A load of hit markers appeared and I hit with all of them - at least that is what my game relayed back to me.
*Except he lived. And stabbed me front on. I was so angry due to the non-death of him that I didn't counter the attack which made things even worse for me.

Had that happen when the game was last patched. I was using old video drivers. Happening after you've been in the middle of a game..not to sure.

Kinect head tracking in jet vs jet combat is the most next-gen I've felt so far...
Thanks for replying. I just wonder how it will look on a 55 inch tv where pixels are bigger.
You need someone else to paint a target for guided shell. It would be too op if you could paint whatever you wanted n fire those things lol

Is it just me or are grenades not as useful as they are in other games?

So I think all my campaign progress just got deleted as I turned BF4 on today. What the hell do I do? I got all the collectibles so far and got halfway through the 4th mission on Hard, I'm gonna be pissed if I have to play this crap again if I want to platinum it.
I've been exclusively using the mini ones. They're still pretty strong and you've got three of them which is nice.
Decidewd to buy the game to give my new GPU a work out. Yeah game looks fantastic (except for the overdone lensflares and CA). SP as expected is absolute shit. Multiplayer is let's just say not yet in a state that I would call real good. The Netcode is a mess stuff is still unstable and sound cut outs seem relatively common. Never played a game where double deaths were that common, just not really fun. The unlock system is just stupid and just gets me to not want to play the game.
Funny enough BF4 is one of those games that can get me to rage about the stupidity of my teammates, way worse then any moba could.

Not fully, but it's playable.
Seriously, the argument that launchers are overpowered against armor is completely fucking ridiculous.
So you were in the fortunate position of shooting an already damaged tank immediately followed by another damaged land vehicle? Cool. Further evidence that you need multiple people damaging a tank to destroy it without C4/mines/slams.

Impact's are great.
Ugh, this game frustrates me so much! I want to like it but all the technical crap and odd "features" are really hindering me from enjoying it as much as BF3.
First off, the crazy camouflage options available for vehicles and the weapons look freaking ridiculous. For example, I saw an attack helo yesterday with some awful looking yellow paint job flying around. I know the BF series is not a simulator and EA/DICE personnel have stated that they're chasing after those COD players and sales numbers but, damn, that silly stuff doesn't fit into BF, imo.
Secondly, the geometry flickering is atrocious when zooming in with a scope, flying above the terrain, or when the killcam focuses on a player that is a good distance away from you. I remember BF3 had some of the same problems but it didn't seem as pronounced. Anyone else feel like it's more severe in BF4?
Also, some of the glass textures seem to really stick out. The worse offender seems to be the player's goggles. It's like the goggles don't seem to react properly to the environmental lighting. I wonder if this is an issue caused by drivers or if this is something that DICE needs to patch.
I could go on and on but I'll just say that there's a lot that needs to be fixed or improved upon. I'm REALLY disappointed by the game in it's current state. It's unfortunate becuase there are some moments of brilliance but it's overshadowed by all the technical flaws.

One of those isn't a 'technical issue' at all and the rest seem like quite minor things. Not sure how they 'overshadow' anything, but I guess we all have our pet peeves.

This game has major, major problems, and this is the stuff that bugs you?

By the way, does anyone else get the sniping in this game? I'm not sure how much I need to lead by if at all. It seems my shots never hit.
Goddamn can't wait for the friggin' patch. Played some of the game on a friend's pc and was very impressed but it's the only game that does not run whatsoever on my Blade Pro. Every other game runs smoothly and I can crank up to the max. BF4 does not even start, just says 'loading level' and then pops up a "Battlefield 4 has stopped working" window.
Think I tried just about every suggested tweak to prevent it. Nothing works.

Bullet velocity and drop vary by sniper rifle. Just takes time and experience to learn how much lead time and height adjustment is required. Stick with one sniper rifle as well. For the beginning probably the m40 until you get the srr-61 and m98b.
Ok, hopefully that's all it was!

Unlock all the sniper rifles, pick one you like and just practice. It takes time to get good with them.
Is unlocking them all the same as BF3 just have to keep using one and scoring points using it?

I am officially addicted to this game. This is the game I am the worst player at that I have enjoyed the most. I used to kick ass in B2 and B2042 (Mouse and KB). But even with the suckage (KDR 0.50) I am enjoying every second of this monster.
I'm assuming you're referring to my critique of the customization. No, it isn't a technical issue, it's a feature that I said I had an issue with. The issues I described above, in addition to the ones we already know about, keep the game from being truly awesome.
Yes, this stuff does bug me. But it's not the only set of issues that I have with the game. I didn't feel the need to mention the sound issues, crashing, and balancing because we're all pretty aware of those and have already been discussed quite a bit. I was just simply adding my opinion to the thread. My list wasn't meant to be exhaustive.

So.
I've unlocked every primary gun in the Assault class and I'm one away from finishing the Sniper primary tree, with almost all of the attachments for each (completely skipped 2 I think).
Speaking of Sniper rifles: is there a reason to use the first few sniper rifles after you unlock the last few? I ask because where I'd say the Assault guns are more a matter of preference, Sniper rifles have some meaningful variance in terms of range and power. I've not really seen a scenario where I'd want to ever equip the sniper rifles that have less range and/or less power, and the last 2 or 3 normal unlocks max out the range and power with sufficient mag size. I haven't noticed an appreciable difference in reloading speed or anything like that between them to make a difference. The only scope I don't like is the upside down V, but that's only been on one rifle. Other than that, I'm not sure if there is some hidden criteria I should be using or not outside of the aforementioned stats.
Advice?

Are you sure it was attack helicopters? A couple stingers hitting should take those down no problem. Scout and transport helicopters on the other hand can have 1-2 engineers repairing them faster than you can do damage resulting in invincibility unless you hit them with something that one shots.
Ahh, thanks for the response! I was worried for the moment when it had happened.

According to Reddit, DICE has been stealth "balancing" with some of these server patches. They claim the last one affected portable AA :-|
Teamwork needed to take down heavy armor from a distance? The horror.
I Havnt unlocked them all yet BUT. all the starter guns for every class are decent. At least rank in the middle for their type.
Its just going to take testing out each sniper rifle to figure out which suits your style.
You'll probably have a different one for medium and long range
