The only map I avoid at all costs is Operation Locker. What an abortion of a map.

Lancang Dam is pretty boring.
Reinstall.
So apparently if you spawn in the passenger seat of a scout helicopter and drop C4 off the side, you can damage the helicopter if you detonate too early. I just had a child do this to me because he crashed his helicopter and he wanted mine, I guess.
It doesn't kill you... But it will destroy your helicopter and eject you wherever the hell you happen to be flying over. Happened to me over an enemy held objective... Needless to say I died quickly afterwards.

Or maybe he swapped teams to do it after failing to shoot you down a few times. Interesting info. Will try not to abuse

One of the best maps in the game!
Flood zone is the worst. All other maps are pretty good. Operation meatgrinder is good too to keep things fresh being without vehicles and close quarters.

I was going to say this as well. There should not be just the on elevator, it's a bit ridiculous.
I might hate Flood Zone's flooding, but man Lancang Dam's levolution affect is incredibly lame. A dam breaks and rocks just fall out? Hainan's levolution is incredibly lame too.
If you iniate a levolution affect and it kills someone (Zavod) it should give you credit for the kill.
My number 1 requested fix besides fixing the soft crashes on PS4 is to add another controller scheme to Jets and Heli's. I need a controller setup that does this
L2: Slow Down
R2: Go Faster
L1: Locate enemies
R2: Fire
It goes against all my instincts to fire with L1 or go faster with L2. Same thing with Heli's but replace L2 and R2 with the appropriate controls. I know if they change this I would do better flying.
So, why didn't you do it to him in retaliation?

Weird thing actually. A few minutes after everything in-game froze except me. Eventually I was dropped from server

Question to the PC players,
I just got a R9 290 and I still can't get a constant 60fps at 1080p, what settings do you guys recommend lowering that preferable aren't all that noticeable but still cause a performance impact?
I already lowered AO but that didn't help much. Some maps go as low as 40 :/

What's your CPU? Also make sure the resolution scaling option isn't set higher than 100%
With you on that.
This might have been the funniest thing I've read on gaf.
I'll be honest, Langcam Dam is pretty great with the lag and anti-air tanks camping in the spawns, but it could really use little more horn.

That CPU could be a bottleneck, I OC'd my 2500k from 3.2 to 4.5 and it made a big difference

:/ Yeah... I don't think my lousy i5 can manage 4.5 lol
had a round like this myself, except i was the one repairing. face tanking stingers for days. yeah id say its a bit OP
What can I say? I'm HBIC.

The mantle update, if it works as advertised, should help a ton if you are CPU bound. Hopefully we see it soon.

According to Reddit, they found some game files for levolution events in China Rising that were cut or not used. Basically, they're all variations of visibility changes (Altai has snowstorm, Silk Road has sandstorm, Guilin has fog) except for Dragon Pass, which they couldn't find in the files. LevelCap has a theory that Dragon Pass's levolution would have been flooding, because of the weird issues with boats getting beached/stuck way to easily in some areas.
More proof the game was rushed?

Its DLC, so it would mean the DLC was rushed, but it wasn't.
There is already a sandstorm levelution in second assault, (iirc made by a different house) and the interviews i regarding CR have all been the same, saying they chose not to go with levelution from the get go.
They probably tested some ideas, but ultimately canned them. A visual effect levelution would be much easier to include than a physical. Meaning this was a choice, and the other developer who is working on SA decided to either pick up the sandstorm, or had it all along.
They are pretty consistent in saying they didn't want levelution on the maps, their reasoning is a little odd, but the maps did what they wanted to do in the end,
The vanilla game was rushed, its obvious and widely known at this point, further proof isn't needed.
Second assault included levelution, and CR is their test for non levelution, it worked decently, we will see if they choose to drop it again in favor of destruction 2.0 etc. Guilin did it right.
Watch the interviews and their reasoning.

yeah, either (1) rushed or (2) tried it and didn't like it.

Something quite funny has happened the games that I've been in.
People tend to not take down C tower in Shanghai till later, much later in the game as opposed to straight away when the game launched and in the beta.

Its because people wanted to see what it looked like in beta.
Im of two minds about it tbh. Some say it makes the flow of the map better, i don't think so.
I think elevator camping and the opposing team sitting on the roof looking down on one side of the building, doesn't increase the flow.
Imo, i hear a lot of different ones on this subject.

Still getting a lot of black screens with the loading bars before a level starts in conquest. Have to exit out to the dashboard on PS4 and restart the game. Also crazy how they haven't fixed the screen where the screen stays black if you keep pressing x after you die. Game feels line it's starting to get better to me as I level up. Now up to level 11 and getting a couple of nixer weapons helps a lot.
Level 10 opens up a ton of weapon assignments.
I'm probably a little late on this, but did they do something to the crouching/crouchwalking? For some reason at the end of movement while crouching, my guy bobs his head up just a bit. It's a tiny thing, but it drives me nuts. I swear this didn't happen before. I haven't played in a while, so, again, if this is a known change, whoops.
Also, that recent levolution news is such bull. I hope DICE manages to make a fully working product by the end of this, but I'm not feeling too confident about it. EA... man.

I would say it makes the map flow better for the team that holds the tower, they can easily parachute with relative safety to either B or D.
But for the opposing team it can be pretty frustrating.
