Even Test Range commander mode isn't available until level 10? I can't even practice playing as a commander before I'm level 10? What kind of stupidity is this?

Edit: Apparently the Commander option in Test Range isn't even the option to practice as the commander? What kind of stupidity is this?

Is there a party system in BF4 on PC and PS4??

Just heard there was none on ps360, and this was a major experience breaker for BF3 ( there was a party system on ps3 but it sucked..dropped players, split party across teams).

If there was one on beta or pc currently, did it work???

Okay guys, maybe you can help me out. This has happened to me twice now and it's really pissing me off. I was playing in a match, finished it and got a rank up. I went to go mess with my loadout in the Battlelog so I quit out of the game, only to find that Battlelog, even after refreshing the page, shows me NOT to have ranked up... Even though in my history, it shows that same match having been played. What is happening here??

People will grill me for this but....

Does the PC version have some sort of aim assist for gamepad? (No KB/M for me, sorry :p)

No. Fuck no man. I do believe you'd get your ass beat for asking for something like that.

So its not my computer? I changed video setting to medium thinking it was my PC but I cant seem to even deploy when joining a server.
Sounds like what happened to me until I updated my video drivers.

Also, I can't figure out this 'v' button when sniping to shoot from greater range.

Erf. Was messing around with the emblem editor, trying to duplicate the Hiigaran emblem since it's my avatar here. Was just figuring out the 'arms' when I accidentally clicked someone on my friend list while trying to deselect my current layer, which immediately took me away from the page with no prompt and saved nothing. yey ( ._.)

Also, only 20 layers is a bummer.

If you get into the game and disconnect at repeatable intervals, you need to make sure Punkbuster is a.) installed b.) services are running and c.) up to date.

Everything else is driver nonsense. Seems a lot of Nvidia cards are crashing. Couldn't possibly be a conflict of interest there with AMD cards....

Well, at least you can go online before it crashes. I never could connect to any multiplayer server with BF3. Only game ever that didn't work. dd-wrt on the router, no blocked outgoing ports. Shrug.
 
Welcome to PC gaming! Give it a few days. Just be glad you weren't here for Rome Total War 2.

Eh, Creative Assembly has mostly gotten Rome 2 sorted out by now. It only took them about an extra 2 months post launch but they got it done.


I've had some intermittent crashes so far with BF4 but compared to Rome 2's launch, BF4's looks positively remarkable.

Stupidly awesome. I mean, just so long as you're one of the lucky 4 people in the server actually piloting them.

Yep, once they get some upgrades they just fuck everyone up and there is like nothing you can do.

Posting this again for help.. Gonna wait to play after a patch if Battlelog isn't recording correct xp.

Is anyone playing this on 360 or PS3? Seems like 90%+ here are PC users which is strange because this is also a big console release.

How is it on the 360 and PS3?

I received a 'Double XP weekend' code with my order today...

Can someone tell me why anyone would want this? By doubling your XP, you're progressing faster and therefore there is ultimately less for you to do in this game.

I don't get it, especially since they're selling it as some sort of incentive.

You just answered your own question: Some of us want the unlocks faster so we can play the game with the weapons we want.

Sorry, but sitting here playing at the normal rate for the old ammobox is getting a little old.

What is the goal of BF if not to unlock better weapons and vehicles anyway?

I want better weapons/cars/items in a lot of games early on, but I also want those games to last, by using double XP it seems like a shitty way of shortchanging myself

Would you be happy if they were all unlocked by default? Is it working to get those items that annoys you?
 
God, I love the XM25 Airburst. Once I figured out how to properly use it, it's been so useful taking out the rooftop snipers. However, it's still fun to use in other situations like blasting guys that are hiding behind cover.

DICE, please don't nerf kthx

So, yes: If the guns were unlocked and the stuff was unlocked by default, I'd be just as happy. Kit items being locked is fucking stupid, meanwhile, no excuse to have the default/classic ammoboxes hidden while having the portable/sticky ones unlocked by default. :/

Unlock systems in multiplayer are the worst. BF3 became so much more enjoyable once I didn't have to focus on unlocking everything anymore. You can just use what you want to use whenever you want.

My goal is to shoot shit. I wish everything was unlocked from the beginning.

Shoot all of the shit right in it's shitty face!
 
A couple questions:

1. If you crash, do your stats not save?

2. If you get a "double XP" thing from a lunchbox or whatever, do those activate immediately or do you have to activate them immediately? And is it for the next hour of gameplay, or the next hour of realtime?

I really love those weapons they placed at specific spots, makes for nice variety when you reach a great spot.
