Reactive now reduces the chance of critical hits by making the angle of impact that would cause critical hits narrower . Basically means an engineer needs to hit you at a perfect 90 degree angle to get a critical hit vs 90 degree +- 5 degree hit.

Right. Only snipers can enjoy conquest on Paracel Storm... ???
It's a fun map. The only problem I have with it are the OP attack boats.
No, of course not, I kid. I just feel jets are too powerful in that map. If you don't have proper air support, you are basically boned.
EDIT: Yeah see above ^
Don't listen to him, its a (sorta ongoing) joke about how Ocho can't play infantry. He can only play in land vehicles so when a map doesn't have them or gets flooded he says its a bad map.

Some people were asking me to slum it with them \o/
Did you take a shower and get tested afterwards?

Now imagine some people actually play with a controller on PC.
Worked out fairly well for me.
All dem spot ribbons.
Nope. I'm on the jetskis sailing the high seas.
Rush wouldn't be bad if they actually thought a few of the sets through. I don't really care for the Conquest Large (haven't tried previous gen/"Conquest" variant yet) version but that's because I don't really care for the layout of the Conquest version.
But the map is fun. It's no where near the junk status Locker and Dawnbreaker (and I'd even debate Dawnbreaker's junk status with you) is.

So China Rising is out now for Premium members right? Thoughts?

According to Battlelog, we have another three hours before it is released.
If you pre-ordered the game you are gifted with the 'Premium Expansion Pack China Rising,' so you shouldn't need premium in order to get the DLC.

Pretty sure we still need to wait 2 weeks anyway even if we pre-ordered the game. Could be (hope) I'm wrong.
Theoretically, we shouldn't be waiting.
Every single pre-order I could find had the exact same word choice, essentially verbatim. Two of these really stood out to me, 'you will be credited with the Premium Expansion Pack, China Rising,' and, 'you will be able to play China Rising as soon as it is available.'
This implies that we are actually Premium members for that one piece of DLC. The consisted use of the words, 'as soon as it is available' essentially sealed it for me.
Not only that, but if you look in your battlelog profile, it should say, 'started playing China Rising,' some 4 days ago and you will have the China Rising symbol right below your name in the upper left-hand corner.

Jet skis are the worst man, that turning sensitivity. Worst vehicle fact.
If you're on the XB1 and in North America please add me. I'm missing playing with non-randoms and having a rough go at it since I'm new to the series. I would love to squad up with some people and bring more communication and teamwork into my games. This game probably has the most complex FPS dynamics since I played Tribes.

I feel like I'm shooting BBs with the M249.
That's strange, because the forum post says that it won't launch until 2AM Pacific.
Would be awesome if they decided to roll it out early.

Nice, thats 24 hours ahead of schedule.
It's around midnight GMT on the 3rd. So right on schedule.

Yeah, mine was at 3 hours, then 2 hours, now it's back at 3...it was at 4 hours around 1:00 PM CST today.
More the physics than the turning. A low speed and before hitting major waves, it's fine. But once you land the physics freak out and make it a pain to steer.

Paracel Storm is awesome when you have a squad going from island to island,

Are we going to get new Choppers or Planes?
Anton Sugar

I don't think so, but there is the new Bomber, which is like the Gunship (deployable based on capture points) but...a bomber.
Parcel Storm is my favorite map so far. Bad ass when the storm comes in and you have the Cruiser crashing into the Island. Get a good group together and you can dominate

Huh. 59 minutes. That's 6 PM CST for me.

47 minutes for me. I'd love it to be true.
Need to remember the PS4 auto recorder purges auto recorded 15mins once you quit the game unless you choose to share or trim said clips during your session... Have lost some neat moments that way a few times now. Had a string of ambush killing vehicles from above with the repair tool on Shanghai which was quite hilarious.

Non-Premium players aren't getting it late, Premium players are just getting it early!!!!!!
So lame.

Too bad both are entirely scripted. Shanghai is much better with the tower up, the fog makes the map look worse graphically, isn't as fun and drops my framerate.
:/Good night sweet prince.
Was it your retailer using those words or was there actual DICE PR?Good night sweet prince.
I don't think they have ever said other than preorders get the premium pack (they're all premium packs) free once available. This obviously doesn't include "when available for premium members", as one of the stipulations of premium is at least 2 weeks lead time on DLC.
Here is one source that took this verbatim from EA's site
http://www.ign.com/wikis/battlefield-4/Pre-Order_Bonuses
This exact same wording was found at several retailers.

Should they really be releasing the DLC with the game still in a very bad state? Seems dumb to me. Fix your original game before adding more problems.
See nothing there indicates it would be available at the same time as for premium members. Especially when you read that premium offers on its own; 2 weeks early on said DLC.
Except for when it explicitly states that you get a premium expansion pack with your order
Also explicitly states that you get it as soon as it is available. That seems to directly imply that we would get that day one. In fact, nothing would imply that we would wait two weeks early.

I have to give it up to the sound though. When you are in the tower before it collapses, or underground in Metro. Those Jurassic park thumps that shake me living room are amazing. eerie crazy scary.
Right. You get the expansion pack for free, not at the same time as Premium Members. I don't understand why that's so hard to understand.
