I hate being negative and complaining about this game all the time as when it goes well, its amazing but its seriously beginning to feel like whether you win or lose is decided by whichever team the game puts you on. Either the dominating team, or the team being dominated.
One squad of 4 is not enough to win a game if you get put on a team getting smashed round after round. Whether on the winning team or the losing, friends and I always score quite highly, in the top 5 of the team pretty much 100% of the time but it just doesn't matter. Games aren't close enough for 1 competent squad to make the difference. To add even more frustration, gaining air control or map control with tanks is out of the question too cause your damn lucky to get a vehicle unless you camp the spawn screen for it.
Close matches are so tense and they last a lot longer with a lot more flag caps which results in alot higher score and a lot more ribbons. These 15min matches that end with 400 tickets remaining on the winning team are a joke. I left Battlefield 3 pretty early for this reason, did it ever get better?
Should the reward for attacking and defending objectives be increased to try motivate people to move away from camping a rock for 1000M long head shots the entire time?
Sorry for the rant, this game is just too damn good but being ruined by terrible team balancing. Surely I am not the only one experiencing this?
I've noticed a massive drop in FPS on Paracel Storm and also Golmud. Not sure why.

Nah your not the only one for sure.
I think i have had maybe 3 close games since launch lol.
Other than that it has been completley one sided.

Reverse that and you have mine.
Yay for solo soldier!
Locker is one of my favourite maps. Especially playing Obliteration because it makes you push forward etc.
It's a proper airburst and mortar fest as support. Also using the EOD Bot as engineer(in rush) and setting up tactical radio beacons as recon is great fun.
Brand new DICE Screw-up of the Day - I'm spotting people and the spots don't show up. Even stood behind an enemy that I flanked, did the whole hand motion and everything, no spot. And the game freezes up on the load for the next map as I type this.
Team Ninja, the actual Team Ninja, not the Team Ninja Dog of present right now, were ahead of their time in many ways, including never setting a release date for a game and only put it out when they knew it was ready. Other devs need to take note.
Played some Rush just now since I was free, the people that I was with were actually pushing forward unlike the last time I played, except for the last two games where they seemingly forgot how to play and just let the enemy walk in as they please. I expected a lot more from BF players on the 360, seriously. Tired of having to carry teams all the time, especially since I'm just trying to unlock all the snipers while defending/attacking, and I'm still on top of the whole team. I shouldn't have to be playing my real class every damn match.

That only happens on a squad leader and I'm fairly certain its a bug. But yes, I TK quite a few squad leaders because of it.
The next patch comes out tomorrow before China Rising:

Which is a good thing? No more teams sitting back and throwing rockets at buildings to make them collapse. People have to rush in and arm?
I'll cut you some slack, since you didn't play BF3 but here's a hint: They made that change in BF3 and the mode was better for it.
The problem is they didn't design maps around the change by giving better cover. Too many maps in BF3 had chokepoints or too open areas with no alt routes. Whereas here the attack/defense gets a strong advantage/disadvantage with vehicles and having to use/abuse those to keep the attack/defense out.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Hey, if you want a Ziltoid emblem to use I made one awhile back.

Bummer...but not too bad as long as none of the China Rising maps have problems. *crosses fingers*
When a commander uses their EMP it causes that effect. Its called Chromatic Aberration and its fucking horrible and makes you eyes bleed
DICE are removing it in the Dec 3rd patch
Chromatic Abberation. Will be fixed tomorrow, finally.
I've had some FPS drops in the last few days too. Nothing permanent, but it didn't happen before (GTX760 here). Maybe it's the latest nvidia driver?
Cool. Thanks man.
Yeah I swore off 64p rush after that. Hainan Resort Rush is my favorite so far though its going to take a while before I get to see all the MCoMs from both sides on every map.
I cannot believe how long its taking them to fix this. Been like that from launch..PC and even ps4 has it.

Just realised I should have received the China Rising DLC for preordering through Amazon. No code in the box. Called them up and it's a 'known issue', but seemingly they were waiting for me to phone in about it rather than contacting me (and other customers) directly to resolve it.
Have to wait 2 days. No idea what for, but I have to wait 2 days.
Oh wait, they emailed with this:

Seems like you're not going to get it. Just get Premium anyway.

I'm now playing the engineer (never had rly before) and it's awesome. Love to strike down vehicles. I'm using the RPG and the Stinger. Or is there a better choice?
P.s. Fixed the framerate problem. GPU was locked @536Mhz, after rebooting 3-4 times everything went back to normal.

My copy didn't come with the code either, so I did the live chat, EA customer support, and after verifying that I actually owned a copy they sent me a code.
I've had it since Friday and haven't had any crashes yet. I don't play a lot of 64-player matches, though.
I don't feel that there is a situation where I would use the Stinger over the IGLA
Supposedly the SMAW is better against rear/sides than the RPG but I prefer the latter except on the really open maps where you can use the flat trajectory of the SMAW to knock out sniper nests from afar.
Pretty fond of the wire guided too especially because of the ability to have 2 rockets going at the same time(prob a glitch).

A lot or at all? CoD boy
git a ps4
J K and L
J for All
K for Team
L for Squad
In case you didn't know, M is the full map, which comes in handy.
I think I'm out till this garbage is patched - froze twice on me in the last hour, topping off the usual garbage teammates.
Knowing this engine is going to be used for the next Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge, both which were perfectly fine on UE3, leaves me real skeptical now.

Also the H key toggles different modes for the chat. Either hide it, show all the time, or show when active. I always chose the latter.

What Ocho said today, "I dont like paracel storm, its like operation locker, no tanks or lavs on it, bad maps".
What I than say every game, "Thank god Ocho is in our tank/lav"
My argument is irrefutable, to be honest. Battlefield 1942 had tanks on every map.
Worst maps: Operation Locker, Paracel Storm, and (the exception to the rule) Dawnbreaker (one side is heavily unbalanced).
Best maps: Hainan Resort, Flood Zone (until they flood the map), Siege of Shangai (until I crash).

The P90 is a peashooter but when ran silenced in the right situations is fun, but there are better options. M249 is decent if your into LMG's, and I can't remember the assault rifles name but it's only just ok.
I love the REX in BF3 but now it's fairly terrible.
P226 is up there with the best pistols in the game, just run that until you unlock the 93R.
REX, and magnum, are broken at the moment. There is currently a delay between the time you 'pull the trigger' and the gun goes off in game. Dice says this is done for 'balancing' reasons...

No mention of fixing the crash on Siege when the skyscraper comes down?
Or has that already been fixed?
You must be one of those recons in the little islands near the spawn points.
OB Paracel Storm is fun, though.
you mean playing BF on a console when you have it on PC? man, i hope not.
