I've actually had some good fun with a good public team but it's in a Rush/Obliteration mix. Really depends on people knowing how to play the mode and going for it. My most fun was on Altai (or whatever the mountain China Rising map is) so far. We had the bomb at A (near the radar/bombing run) south-side/our team's bombing site for like three minutes before diggint it out of there and getting it up the mountain to their's. Tough but fun.
I'm going with the assumption that the date on Premium is the "weekend before." It's the only thing that makes sense since the other weekends themselves follow that assumption.

I agree with that.
I wish there was an option for all tank shells. The splash damage is a joke for all of them.

I don't even care about splash damage in regards to killing infantry - the amount of accuracy required to detonate a mine is staggering. They should just double the blast radius and make the outer damage incredibly low.
What map did you experience this stuttering on or is it every map?
Point 1 : No. The burst cannon is great for this, and there's a point below that mentions buffing it to increase effectiveness against aircraft.
Point 2 : Hell yes. The Javelin is laughable. It's incredibly difficult to use (missile shoots upwards first, killing you if it hits anything and is HOLD LOCK to hit) and the damage clearly doesn't reflect this.
Point 3 : I guess yes? I haven't tried the 20mm post buff so I cannot tell, but if it has become the best gun then there's a problem.
Point 4 : Yes. Less infantry splash is good, more AA power for burst is good.
Point 5 : Who the hell uses Canister shells??

I've has this happen 4 or 5 times now and all but one were on Floodzone as well. Its worse when it kills or nearly kills you. I call it the Mario Jump.
I have a bit of fun with C4. I feel bad for Gambit.

Sometimes when I jump I get "killed in action" with my corpse flying into the air on Flood Zone. That's just as funny for everyone else.. less funny for me

I've been "killed in action" about 2-3 times with no explanation, feet planted firmly on the ground, sprinting. Just dead. I attributed it to my soldiers having a heart attack or something.
I'm guessing texture streaming taking forever and then popping in and having "killed by the guardians"/clipping-fix being issued. :/

Bah, just ignore it. It's obviously not accurate when it says zero. Pretend it said "N/A" or "unavailable" instead, same thing.

Dr.Prob.. that run on the attack heli was amazing. lol
Do want DLC, then yes. If you're fine with just the base maps (that are right now, better then the shit China ones) then no.

That ending today was spectacular. In that match we were talking about how great of a timing that was.
In Shanghai one of us collapsed the building right as the game ended.

So what does the staff shell do exactly?
If your within a certain area of the hitbox, it will hone in on the target and explode above it for a critical hit, its also a secondary shot, which is amazing,
Your avatar is really throwing me off, I keep thinking you're me.

Gotta love gunners who don't at least shoot in the direction of soldiers running towards the tank with C4.....thanks for the help randoms
And I really need to practice piloting helicopters.....yeesh, and I thought GTA 5 chopper controls were messed

We almost ate it on the very first pass lol. Nice gunning though.
When you get a chance to actually use that thing for a bit it's pretty fun.

People, anyone experimenting connectivity issues and severe stuttering after the last patch in PC? Between the previous patch and the most recent one, the game 99% of the time run flawlessly for me, but now I have a lot of problems to join servers. It keeps being stuck and the "connecting" step of Battlelog, and maybe sometimes after several tries I'm able to connect and play. And then in some Conquest Large maps with 64 players I'm experimenting the stuttering I had the first month. I've tried to reinstall Punkbuster and the usual things. I can't believe that almost 3 months after launch they're making the game unplayable, smh ><.

I was in a server last night where it would stutter every 5 seconds or so, pretty sure that was just the server though. I do keep getting kicked between rounds for a punk buster disallowed driver, even though I was just playing fine on that server and can also rejoin the same server. Kinda annoying.
Bruuuuuuuuuce!

What is Kill Trading?

You both kill each other at the same time. No winner in the shootout just 2 losers.

I wonder why it is so prevelant in bf games. I mean regardless of the quality of the netcode it should still happen fairly often in any shooter.

That's a tough one. Personally, I wish I had waited. After cutting features from China Rising, I'm worried they'll do more of the same with the other dlc
Levolution is in Second Assault, so they aren't doing that.
I guess my 2XP before the assigned date is wrong. DIIIIIICE.

They made Second Assault before they had to delay everything to finish BF4. Now they're far behind schedule on everything. Be prepared more rushed dlc, and maybe a double xp weekend to make up for it.
These don't affect me anymore :/ they had so many double xp events i have nothing to level anymore lol.
Felt like an eternity to finally unlock the FY-JS. Took me less time to unlock most of the weapons from a single class normally. I mean asking the player to do between 50-250 headshots at 50 meters+ takes quite a bit of investment. I wish dice had learned their lesson from bf3 with stupidly grindy unlocks. It people have paid their money for the map pack, just let them have the stuff already. Or keep the requirements the same as the other guns in its class.
Most of the marksmen shots don't even register properly, that was my problem when going for the FY.
I don't even use it, ill probably end up using the GOL for aggressive play, as i don't long range snipe when i play recon (which is rare unless I'm fucking bored as shit and want to out shoot ARs at point blank range)
It's the hardest weapon in the game to unlock, but it's more than worth it for me. Only sniper I touch unless there's somebody way out in the middle of nowhere I want dead, then I pull out the M98B.
Plus I used the M98B to unlock it, the secret gem that most overlook to go for the SRR-61 instead so it wasn't much trouble at all for me. FY-JS took over the Scout Elite for me as aggressive recon, with it, my aiming above the head days were over, every headshot I aim dead-on for I land instantly, even while they're running. It's funny that you need Marksman headshots to get a short range sniper, but I guess they wanted the toughest challenge for a sniper that shoots as straight and instant as a laser with all of those shots in one mag.
Voting poll said:
If I'm reading this right: They mean the side-cannons, right? They're already good, IMO. Infantry can be mown pretty easy (granted it takes a little while) and suppressed pretty good with them. I don't need to see a buff to those. The pilots main default gun is already good for infantry and other stuff so if they mean that one as well it doesn't need a buff.
DICE said:
Of course, this is the only unpopular one that I voted for, since everyone and their mother wants the attack boat to dominate land, sea, and air. :/
The hilarious thing about it, is I unlock it and take it for a spin, get like 3 marksman ribbons with it in the next match without even really trying. Gun is just stupidly accurate. Almost feels like a hitscan weapon. Probably could easily kill anything within 100 meters of me with it if I get used to it.
