iirc in BF3 wasn't it 15 seconds after death...or instant if unrecoverable, like vehicle explosion...

Right, but he's saying on spawn: Which makes sense. If you're spawning, you're going to lose a ticket as a consequence to spawning. Just like BF3 and earlier. Maybe you're saying BF3 had it to where if you revived it didn't lose that ticket or it didn't lose that ticket for 15 seconds after spawning, but it's the same as BF4's.
fuck this game until they balance the guns and netcode. Why put blog posts a month ahead of when you're going to release a balance patch? Today was the worst day I've ever had with this game. Every domination and TDM game had half the other team full of clan members, input lag every game, and being MVP on my team by going 10-15. /rant over

Who doesn't like getting one shot killed by a U-100 or an SAR-21. Let's not forget the fan favorite feature of getting killed around corners!
Awful as in there is pretty much no texture on the seafloor and the lighting and screen effects for underwater are all messed up/gone. It looks like it's missing assets. I'll take a screenshot next time I play to demonstrate.
Dude get back on

I got killed in action by jumping over a ledge.

To be fair, you probably benefit from this, too. If I see someone about to turn a corner, I fire off a few shots and often I'll get the kill notice after he should have been safe. I think it's ridiculous that I sometimes just fire randomly at a distant triangle and get a kill shot.

Anyone have tips on attachments for each weapon type?
Best set-up for the AR, LMG, and Carbine?
Or at least some kinda "Attachments for Dummies" explanation on the muzzled, barrels, stocks, grips etc..?
Tips on High ROF guns like the AEK or FAMAS?
Some multiple examples of your great builds on multiple guns would be great, I tend to switch guns/classes every round so more then 1 or 2 would be idea.
Plus, what's up with Staff Shells? I see most people use them but I can't figure how they are better then a HMG mowing down troops.
Also, I see thermal > zoom for some?
I know for a fact I never hip-fire, ADS is an addiction I can't break..even when I panic shoot I ADS first :/
When I use a PDW tho I tend to hip fire, part of me sees the little gun to be good for that, everything else and I'm conditioned to ADS every time like an unbreakable habit.

hahaha.
This guy grabbed me from the side whilst i was firing at someone completely unrelated. Started to spam F to counter knife but it wasn't working and thought "fuck."
Half a second later he's laying on the floor, dead. Apparently i shot him about a second ago before he even ran up to me. He wasn't even in my FOV at any time before it happened.
Last patch screwed it all up. Nearly every one of my deaths on 360 has the player on "0" health these days.
Easier to just ignore it. iirc more times than not they don't actually have 0 health. It's just the indicator

Just went on an arming streak in Rush! I armed one MCOM in each set, sometimes both, for 5 maps straight. My squad of randoms and I dominated the other team; it was nice seeing the enemy roster drop from a full team to 3-4 players after each match. Silenced AK5C + Radio Beacon is such a great combo.
On the last set on Shanghai, I commanded my squad to arm B as I parachuted down to A (I died arming A on the previous set and spawned in a friendly chopper), we armed simultaneously and the match was over in a flash! Wish I had remembered to hit the share button and record the awesomeness.

Can't not ADS at this stage. It's quite annoying because I use shotguns >80% of the time. -.- Getting killed because of that slight delay is really frustrating - why couldn't I just pull the trigger!?
Sorry to self-quote but seriously, anyone know why this happened? Edit: I have at least found the place to change it: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/profile/edit/edit-soldiers/
Pretty schweet. Confirms a lot of the irregularities I was seeing.

probably rolling out the Platoon stuff or something, you can change it on Settings - Soldiers - TAG.

Huh. Okay. No idea what Platoon stuff is but if it doesn't sound completely implausible I'll take it. Yeah, I found that settings screen all right, thanks.

This is correct. It's frustrating, but I don't believe the player ever actually has 0 health.
I've found many times that I'll encounter a player that in an area that he likely would have full health upon our encounter. We'll both shoot, and I'll die and the game will report he'll have 0 health. Then in the killcam, he'll fight someone else, and I'll get the kill assist and you can see how much damange you actually did.

This is a very technical breakdown of what I've known all along with this game - it's bullshit.
And this will never be fixed.

The BF4 netcode video isn't complete unless they do the same tests in BF3 for comparison.
God damn it. I missed the drunken squad at their best?

The dog tags and knives all come inside battlepacks too, which is hilarious because you're like "ooh new battlepack" and then you see it's a Premium battlepack and you go "oh dog tags this will be useless."
just like all battlepacks amirite

tell me about it man, getting dat golden pack and the "ADVANCED" or "RARE" items are battlelog emblems.... i mean... shapes that you can use... not even player portraits or camos but shapes for the emblem editor.
How are those more advanced than weapon camos or knives?! :E
Am I nuts or did they introduce more problems with the last 2 patches for pc?
First one my keys aren't reacting correctly all the time and hit detection got very bad. Like a clip in a guys back bad.
The last patch I tried mantle, beta drivers with directx, and now cleaned up with previous stable amd drivers and my graphic performance is terrible. I am getting constant framerate drops with vsync.
I have been playing since launch and been really lucky as far as client side crashes and great graphical performance 1080p with ultra settings. Only time I ever noticed framerates drops is explosions, but never getting in the way during the heat of battle.
I even tried dropping settings down to medium and no change. Its very annoying and making it much less fun to play.
On my end if its true they are launching assault after saying they would fix the game first, I think we are in big trouble

DICE is trolling me. Since the latest battlelog patch, CQ Large now reads as just CQ and you can't search for CQ and CQ Large seperately on the battlelog browser.
As if all my inquiries on twitter being irnored weren't bad enough.

what's the difference between Large and normal?
More players ("Conquest" is 32-player/last Gen, 3-flag Babby mode; "Large" is 64-players/true Conquest), more flags (the way Conquest should be: 5 or more)

it's just a theory, but horrific rubberbanding.

not strictly the case. CQ large is just the full map, regardless of playercount. I only play 32p CQ large.

Wish there was a way to convert all these 25% XP boosters into something else. Like trade in 5 25% XP boosters for a 100% XP Booster; Trade in 3 50% XP boosters for a 100% booster; Trade in 3 100% XP boosters for a 200% booster. etc etc.
Nearing the level cap and I have over 40 25% boosters that are all but worthless. 200% would be worthless too, but at least it'd be nice to use those whenever the level caps are raised. 25% is nothing. It's spam.
