Not new, been there since day one. Press C twice to fix.
There are very, very minor differences. Like their heads might be turned 2° more to the left or something. Look closer, they are different, but it's really stupid how minor of a change it is.
4 games 4 hard disconnects to the dash. Xbone.
Fuck
This
Shit
Edit
Now 5 for 5.
When this game works it's so much fun if happily fork out for premium but I'll be fucked if I'm paying a penny for anything to do with his buggy pos until it's fixed. Fuck you dice you've ruined my christmas.

So the deal with the China Rising DLC is that on PC you have to own Premium in order to play it now? And everyone else that got it by just preordering has to wait an arbitrary 2 weeks?

Yes
I must be one of the lucky ones because I almost never crash and get smothered with the stupid boosts. I'm going to be at max level within a month and I never made it on BF3.

It has been like that for me forever. Do you use the HMG, because I've wondered if it only happens with the HMG.

Wasn't to bad when I managed to get into a rush server and go through all the maps before it crashed.
Tried a few games again.
The game isn't disconnecting and crashing every 5 minutes like earlier today, but on the other hand it is now a laggy mess.
I'm getting killed before hit markers show me were the shots are coming from. And I guess it's not the 1 hit kill bug since it is constant now.
Damn, I really wanna get pissed and angry about this but I just feel sad. My K/D is dropping vertiginously, I know I shouldn't worry about stats but it's disheartening to see all this shit happening when you know full well it isn't your fault.
Can't play the game like this. I think I'm just going to play Killzone when my PS4 arrives. Maybe I'll buy NFS Rivals or AC and just forget about BF.

That's good, though I would have given anything for Kharg Island over Firestorm. I've been left wanting for a good sniping map.
Yes, I know this at least used to be the case. But I'm pretty sure I was the only one fireing on them this time, and it happened like 3-4 times in one round. But sure, if someone else hasn't experienced the same thing it might have been a bug/coincidence.
Same for me. Very few crashes and when they happen it's usually between maps. I think BF3 was more shaky for me actually (mostly Battlelog stuff then though).

I keep forgetting to try this out.
Hmm, the 50% number was pulled by Symthic, so I'm sure it's right, but we're living in a world of 1HK bugs, so who knows how it is actually acting.

That's really shitty to hear. I have the game, but I've been putting off playing it until all its issues have been ironed out. Is the state of the game worse now than it was on release? That's what it sounds like.
I'll give it one more month. In the interim, there are plenty of other games to play.
Not really, you can get to level 50 pretty fast. It's then a matter of slowly grinding. I'm already 61 and that's with a minor boost. From 31 earlier this week. 30 levels of grinding from a week of double-xp with crashes and other shit going on, not too bad. That's like two months of 2XP seperated with one more within the next two days.
And without having to worry about server crashes taking my battlepack boosts.
The maps have a weird "lag" going on since the client update. I dunno what the problem is there, but it happens now and then and it's really jarring. Going into ADS stutters and "hangs" for a few minutes, really asking to be killed in those moments. :/
Again: I really want a post mortum on "what went wrong" from DICE on Gamasutra/Game Developer Magazine.
I've had no crash issues for like a week now (PS4), but I'm still getting sound glitches on large conquest maps, and the server list is really bad.
Also, why don't they have a que to get into a full server, like in Battlefield 3? I hate mashing X 'til a spot opens.

Just had one of my best game ever I think.

Dragon Pass is a great map.

Ya'll don't have that? PC has had that for a few weeks now.

If you have crashes every map, it's not worth. But if you have a crash every 3-4 maps (like I do), then it's definitively worth using the boosts during 2xp. If you only get 30 minutes of 200% xp during 2xp (because you crashed once), it's still worth.
If we put this in numbers, you are level 61 with 102h 51m. I'm level 70 with 79h, 34m. I've been using 200%, 100%, 50% xp boosts whenever available (and when I remember to activate them). Right now I have a stock of boosts I won't even finish during the remaining 2xp days (since I get more boosts because my xp gains are a joke right now). I've leveled up 26 times in 21 hours of double xp.
Oh good, so at least I can expect it in the future. Right now it just says "Sever Full" and kicks you back to the list.
How many did you get? Was that when we were steamrolling every obliteration match in in 8 minutes or less?
BTW, I'll be posting the gif of my roadkill on ya with the chopper later tonight
yes seks, we miss you... and every time I'm not sure what loadout to use I think "what kit would Seks use?"
Because when it isn't constantly crashing or bugging out or not letting people play or losing track of your stats or counting crashes as game leaves or rubber banding or doing any other of it's bullshit then it's a pretty fun game.
WHOOSH.
Levels don't matter this outing since DICE hasn't put anything but assignments to the levels.
The inconsistency of crashes is what my point is. Yes, sometimes you can get through a 200% boost without wasting it. But when crashes happen EVERY. ROUND. or every 2-3 rounds? And you can't get it to be a consistent pattern to where you can go "oh, crash coming up, don't want to waste a boost of timer on a crash that won't save my stats/calculate the boost?"
Not worth it. Which is my point. You can rank up right now in double-XP just as if you were using those boosts without a double-XP going on.
Yes the stacking is worthwhile and yes you can rank up faster with them both doubled, but since Rank matters little... who cares? Save your 50+ boosts until you're sure your 1 hour time granted isn't wasted trying to even get to the end of a round for it to calculate.
While I fully agree, it's just ridiculous.
This is the last time I'm playing a Battlefield game at launch. I've only played BC2, BF3 and now BF4 at launch... but they're progressively getting worse. I understand and appreciate ambition. I cannot tolerate laziness or being sold an unfinished product.
Even the DLC is bugged, and apparently the new patch is making things worse.
Cmon dice... just... cmon.

I'd even say they need more tanks. The infanty map is actually decent, unlike Locker. No clusterfucks.
Levels kind of matter because of Battle Packs. More battle packs, more boosts, easier to unlock stuff.
I guess I'm in a pretty good point right now where I don't crash that much for an xp boost not to be worth. My point is that if you can get 30 minutes of an hour with a 200/100/50% boost during 2xp, it's worth. Ah, what if you end up wasting the boost? No big deal, you'll get more boosts eventually.
I've also used most of this week to unlock stuff, which has gone pretty spectacularly.

Thanks to the double xp and 200% boosts, I'm level 94 after about 95ish hours.

Thanks who thought of the eye in the sky assignment to unlock ucav, you probably wont see it to often.
been trying for +3 hours to get it, not even 1 ribbon lmfao
I got killed by one last night while capping a flag. Guy was all the way across the map. I'm not a fan of them either. I'd imagine they will get nerfed eventually.
That was from a press event. Pretty sure they nerfed it as the reload is super long now.

The SUAV is fun but I crashed more than I got kills when I was messing about with it. My commander was nice enough to drop me a crate though so I had an unlimited supply of the things Long live the lame plane!

It's been nerfed from that (they were launching the UCAVS from the carrier), it has a 20 sec reload and lasts 10 sec before running out of batteries. Damage is 500 to tanks though, so 2 UCAV can easily destroy one.
The SUAV flies for 60 seconds before destroying itself, so quite a bit longer than the UCAV.
Edit: The UCAV also travels 100 meters after launch before you can even control it as it uses a mortar launch system, so your target needs to be further away than that. Immediately after launch your camera will be pointing up the sky, so you only have 7-8 seconds to level up and adquire a target.
Drunken GAF aka elite squad. Obliterate is what we do (although I'm surprised they did good without my tank power).

Altai Range would be a cool map if there weren't 85 vehicles per team.
We obliterate the enemy just like we obliterate our livers.

Anyway, to kill the bombing run, get the AA and shoot the main gun at it until it dies. Stinger is no go.
Leaves 14 bombing run kills to get for the advanced assigment and then I have to worry about jet kills. Oh boy. :/
