Well, if you guys want somebody who primarily plays Support/Assault, follows squad orders (ASSUMING THERE ARE ANY) and throws out lots of ammo, add me: cannibalchef
Yeah, Locker is really bad. It's a rush to grab C and then the camping begins. You just need to have smart enough team mates to cover the outside access as well.
The resort map is also a nightmare. Explosions everywhere and the fact the borders of the map are higher ground means you get shot from all angles if you're not in the middle....But the fun thing was playing with mines on the bridges that lead to the hotel. All the APCs were going through them.
Also played Flood (only once, and it was confusing, but it does seem like a very interesting map, tons of hidden passages for infantry, a real nightmare for tanks), Shanghai (unsurprisingly I'm bored to hell of this map now), the uber wide map in the fields (was it the train map? I couldn't tell) with the LRML in the middle (also learned it counts as transport vehicle for kills lol) then the server crashed during map switching.
Made it to rank 4 i think, not bad for a first run. No lag out of the ordinary, and while there was a tiny bit of rubberbanding once or twice I had no issues really.

Commander mode is basically Boosting mode.

Does anyone use leaning/peaking that much?
If it works the same as BF3, you'll want to add Origin as a shortcut and disable Origin's overlay. Then launch BF4 and it should work.
Well I've come to the conclusion Storm is one of the worst maps I've ever played in BF. Giving the teams two attack boats is a terrible idea because one organized squad can go round nuking everything in site and turning the entire game one sided. I've not played one round of it where one side didn't completely dominate the other. The islands aren't nearly wide enough or high enough to avoid the volleys from the boats and they have so much HP you can't really take them down with RPGs without dying in the process. Of course they will be equipped with at least one person repairing them so any thing you do hit them with is negated almost straight away.
Did I mention they also have strong anti air capabilities in the form of 2 volleys of AA missiles in quick succession? :|

I haven't REALLY started this mission yet but... yup. Blue.
I'm going to tone that the hell down in SweetFX. I actually hate the color grading on this map.... but the weather is wonderful.

I find this pretty funny because its the most "Battlefield-feeling" map that I've played in a long long time. I think the flag spread is great, the islands have elevation to them with bridges for infantry, the graphics are amazing, and I feel it has just the right amount of vehicles. Are you honestly saying that this map is worse than Metro, Operation Firestorm, and many of the other terrible BF3 maps?
The attack boats are definitely OP though against the raft boats.

Copy the folder to where you want it, "uninstall" the game, re-install the game at the desired location. Origin is great at detecting existing files.

well that campaign was totally underwhelming. Same shit as Crysis 3, awesome technically, but by the numbers gameplay and a robustly terrible story. It's also like, half the length of the SP in BF3, which was infinitely better.

I'd love to know if this was possible. I'm considering doing the exact same thing.

Or you can just uninstall, change the installation folder in the settings with Origin and re-download.

Some people are really obsessed with this" Fuck it's blue" thing
Sometimes when you go outside and the sky is just right in the middle of a thunderstorm things will look blue. I'm not a fan of throwing every color possible on screen. Usually less is more.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The way neon lights glow through the mist and rain looks so good. I wish the tower collapse on Shanghai would copy across a similar effect instead of everything getting covered in plaster.
Had an awesome game on Flood Zone. Definitely the stand out map so far.

In these scenes, I wouldn't expect to see every color. I would expect more... grey. It's raining outside right now and everything looks kinda dull and desaturated.

Does PS360 versions have 5 man squad?
In it's current iteration? Sure. But it's also one of the easiest to fix with a bit of work.

Wow... can my GTX 780 do this? I don't need like two Titans do I? :/
I try to, but it's way too unreliable in hot situations. It really works well with long distance and horizontal cover like crates.
Can't tell if showing off....
thanks that worked

If you refrain from joining any server again until the match you crashed out of is over, you'll get points for it when the game ends.

I know next to nothing about PC gaming I didn't even buy it for myself, I know the 780 is good but I know people who want graphics like that pack one or two Titans?

It is a nerd world problem. Something to gripe about when you have no real complaints to voice. They might as well be saying "pointy elbows".

We'll just have to respectfully disagree with one another. Paracel Storm is not perfect (few maps ever are) but to me it feels very much like a great Battlefield map. I hope you find some others in BF4 you enjoy.
Oh man, already getting those Battlefield-horror flashbacks. Just had the longest most excruciating hour-long game on Flood Zone. As basic infantry you just fucking run around exposed as shit the entire round. On the ground? Water, no real fighting. On the rooftoops? They are overlooked by like 5 buildings and a highway overpass so you are just a sitting duck aaaaaaaaaand that's it. No more places to fight. Then you can just randomly make your way through puddles of water, go through a few windows and that's it.
I take back what I said about Operation Locker. Flood Zones is now my most hated map.
Please give me a CQB expansion ...

Yeah, the amount of people who camp the middle-top on both that map and Zavod 311 really take away from the enjoyment I get from playing them.
I keep getting in games where people will just not fucking mark anyone. It's like people aren't pressing Q on purpose. And then no one playing recon seems to mark aircrafts. There's 8 on my team and not one targeting helicopters -_-.

Paracel Storm and Flood Zone are my favourite maps so far. Brilliant blends of land, sea and air combat and you're never too far from a fight but never feels like a clusterfuck either
I was worried about Flood Zone based on the description, but it's honestly my favorite map in the game. It's weird because I've never been fond of small to mid-size maps in BF.

Yeah... that's when Battlefield stops being fun. When you feel like you can't make your way anywhere on foot without being blasted by a helicopter\jet\some other overpowered thing. And it's usually made worse with certain map designs.
60.
Yeah, I can't stand that type of gameplay where I just need to duck and cover from snipers hiding on roofs, be confined to a little area of the map and that's your general gameplay. It's really poor map design in my opinion. Especially flood zones because the actual meat of the map which would be in-between buildings is killed off within the first 2 minutes with the "levelution" event.
And yes, in the Beta every single thing was marked constantly. Now I actually see tanks drive by me that hasn't even been marked despite being on a main road. I mark it and go "What the ..."
That's why I always been a bit shaky about Battlefield. Unless you get a vehicle it was just a lot of running, being exposed a lot and dying a lot from stupid shit. When you finally saw someone, 4 people spawned on top of them and you had no chance. It's just annoying because the game is excellent in many areas but the map design really does infantry no favours.

idk I'm maxed out on an HD 7950 running 50-70 fps.
I'm happy.
LOL this. I thought I was the only one who thought it.

Oops, yeah my mistake ;(. It does feel a little too narrow in SP.
No, you can't change the FoV in single player. You can move the slider, but it only affects multiplayer.
SP is locked at 60 and it's hard to deal with.
2 to disable, three to kill, depending on placement.
Most accurate LMG in the game is the LSAT, even moreso with the heavy barrel. Laser beams.

I'm just trying to enjoy it for what it is until the PS4 rolls out. BF3 looks and runs better and that's not saying much. I also don't know if it's just a byproduct of playing the digital version but my FPS is all over the place and the knifing animations are literally like 6 stuttering frames from start to finish.
'ppreciate it.
