Well I am talking about the PC version, seems like console players are more willing to join each other. Bummer.
It would be the next level up from the mechs in 2142 which took damage from small arms fire from underneath.
you are not in NA im guessing
No
Also is reviving horribly broken? I am not often playing Assault but I want to help my mates out sometimes ... I try to revive a guy like 4 times in a row and nothing happens... it prevents me from playing that class because what's the prupose.

wasn't getting out and in of a vehicle to restore reactive armor something DICE fixed early on in BF3?
Not that I'm aware of. I could test in an empty server...

This is what I'm getting on the PC right now. Internets working fine for me, Origin is OK too.
DICE needs to add "Uninstall Battlefield 4" and "Ask For Refund" buttons on that toolbar.

If it ever was something you could do, it would have been before spring 2012.

Battlefield just updated on my XBONE. Erased all my progress and now has to reinstall multiplayer. What. The. Fuck.

Reviving works fine for me.
I noticed that you can get a ton of medic XP if you play Operation Locker 64 player conquest.

Two fucking weeks of this bullshit. This is beyond ridiculous. There is absolutely zero chance I ever buy BF again until I see the community saying it's actually playable.

So I just have experienced DICE's recent fix for the mortar: When I have the mortar in my loadout, I can not resupply any grenades after I have thrown the ones I spawned with - and when my mortar gets destroyed I am also out of luck. What a load of crap.

Probably already posted but:
~7% of medics run with defibs compared to ~50% running with the grenade launchers. These charts pissed me off and confirmed many of my suspicions. I get told to "quit whining" when I ask in chat why none of the 14 medics near me are rezzing anyone as our team loses tons of tickets every second. People playing to pad their kdr instead of playing-the-objective :/.
And only 0.08% using the repair tool. DAMN.
Sorry, I fail. It's only counting KILLS. But still, those grenade launcher, m2 SLAM, and mini-nade numbers make me a little sad.

What the fuck? Never would have guessed it was so low.

You're wrong though.
Disregard that, sum means total amount of kills with that gadget. Can't be right with only 177 repair tool kills though, I got 5 myself so far. Count means amount of people with more than 100 kills with that weapon/gadget.
Man these numbers are mind blowing. I might be one of the few who actually revives people, plays assault with a defib, and repairs vehicles when I'm an engineer.
Also, fuck the M2 Slam.
Edit: Defib kills only?

Yeah, that's kinda shady stats without stating what it's counting.
It's more than likely counting kills which would make sense with the low repair/defib kill counts because no one goes out of their way to go for those.

Well, at least it's something new.

BF4 console versions also have the issue that ground vehicle controls are now stick drive only, a control scheme which sucks arse compared to BFBC2 and BF3, so vehicles have suffered a substantial downgrade from that alone without even taking into account the other game mechanic changes.
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So couple questions about PS4 version...
You guys ever have an issue loading Test Range? It refuses to load up for me... I need to set up all my controls and shit, and it's stuck on the load screen. I have to quit the game to get out of it.
I played 64 conquest for a couple mins, and it was pure rubber-banding garbage... is that like, how it is?

You can set the vehicle controls to be identical to the BF3 controls if you want. I did that on 360 & PS4.
Can honestly say that's one issue I haven't run into yet.
Generally speaking, no. But if you were playing CQ on Hainan Resort or Lancang Dam, then yeah, that's just how it is on those maps for now. Mostly noticeable in the air for whatever reason, but those two seem the most likely to be jittery while the conquest versions of Flood Zone, Shanghai and Dawnbreaker along with Locker (cq and rush) are the most likely to outright crash. China Rising seems pretty stable though!
You can change that. Probably the first thing everyone does, unless they're completely INSANE.
Faceless is insane, confirmed.
Agreed
hahahaha this is epic

No you can't unfortunately - spot is locked to one of the R buttons and can't be moved, so you can't have the BF3 vehicle controls which were L2 and R2 for reverse and forward, with L1 for zoom and R1 for fire.
The closest you can get with BF4 is to have L2 and L1 be forward and reverse, but then you have to use up on the d-pad for zoom. So to move, turn the turret, zoom in and fire (something that's pretty common in tank battles), you have to move the left analog stick while pressing up on the d-pad and L1 at the same time. If you can do that then you either have a congenital deformity or your hand looks different to mine lol.
I meant in terms of driving. There's no need to use the stick driving luckily.
What are the odds of DICE increasing kill times to those in BF3? Thinking about returning the game while I still can.
I put some 700 hours into BF3, but I really can't handle the kill times in BF4. It seems like two bullets are you're down... And coupled with maps that seem to put you into tight-close quarters environments, the game becomes a twitch shooter (which reminds me awfully of a game called Call of Duty, just with some vehicles tacked on). And that pisses me off to no end especially when half the time you're being shot in the back because there are literally no choke points on these maps at all.

I guess that settles it, haha. I'll return it tomorrow morning. Speak with my wallet and all that.
Now back to BF3!
Dice doesn't give a shit about the competitive aspects of the game. Decreasing TTK is just one of the many issues.

Even for driving you can't have the same controls as BF3, because again the spot/commorose button is locked to the R button, so the forward and reverse buttons are different to BF3.
I still don't know why you can't have the same control setup as BF3. Nobody gives a shit about checking Battlelog mid-match if it means vehicle controls have to be retarded.
Why?
Well I think the damage is messed up or something. Under the description of the M2 Slam it says that it's lightweight and does less damage or something than the M15 AT Mine or whatever it's called.
The M2 Slam will still one-hit kill a fully armored vehicle at 100%.
I run over them with dirtbikes.....
Cant see those things for shit.
Also i probably should stop driving dirtbikes.
I can never see those things on the ground, unless they're marked.

I started carrying M2 Slams instead of the repair tool unless I'm playing with friends whom are driving something. Randoms drive away from you when you try and repair them getting you both killed more often than you actually repair there vehicle. If I get out of my tank to repair there is a 80% the gunner or someone else jumps in and takes off. It's just not worth it when you can typically back off and regen on the way to flank them.
I've never got a single M2 kill against any real armor. Dirtbikes and ATV's sure but I need to cluster 3 for a LAV or tank.

I was under the impression that it did less damage to MBTs but more damage to LAVs than the M15 mines.
Did not know it triggered on dirt bikes and such though. Sounds a bit excessive. Mine balancing is a tough one to get right I would assume. In BF3 I found them completely useless since they showed up on thermal.

Battlelog tells me that it's too many layers, at 40/20. Is the XBO version limited to 20 layers and PC at 40?
Thanks for the site anyway, I'll look around for some others.

I think premium is 40 layers, regular is 20 layers.

Thanks. I see now that some of them have the premium logo in the corner. That must be it.
no, you cant.
while you can control the vehicles with the shoulder buttons, the button assignment is most definitely not identical.
So as I play a few games again before bed, I come across a map that I really freakin' like. Which was a nice surprise, because the other maps generally leave a lot to be desired (really pretty, too). Anyway, I'm playing and suddenly a tank comes up and wipes out most of my squad. I pull out the RPG, aim at the tank, pull the trigger and then...
I restart my Xbox, find the map again and the whole thing freezes again. Is this a problem on my end? It's saddening that my potentially favourite map is literally unplayable.
Bam. The whole thing freezes.

I think some higher lifeform is trying to send you a message.
Haha, don't like the map?
I think it's great. For some reason I like the way it plays better than the other maps... On Conquest, anyway.
only in battlefield.
