It's still better map then operation locker

No it's not. You have more flanking options in Locker, and it's a bigger map with more flags to capture, which gives people an opportunity to back-cap a flag if they move outside the prison or very rarely inside as well. It's also a tiny bit less of a clusterfuck in general compared to Metro.

Other than Floodzone and Dawnbreaker I haven't really seen much sniping in TDM on PC. It's no different than on console in my experience anyway. And yes while snipers can aim better on PC so can everyone else using every other gun. ARs and Carbines are still way better overall weapons. As a niche weapon they're not as good as they could be either. A shotgun does a better job at close range than snipers do at long range for example.

Why would people complain about not being able to snipe in custom servers that have limits imposed? All they'd have to do is play on a different server.

Yeah, when I play Recon and try to engage people from somewhat long to medium range I occasionally end up still getting killed by the same people I'm trying to take down from a distance. LMGs, ARs, and Carbines are really easy to aim with in general, which makes things even harder because then I have to deal with suppression bullshit as well.

The Recon class has some really useful gadgets like the Spawn Beacon, but when it comes to actually killing people, they're really ineffective and inefficient with Sniper Rifles, especially in most engagements where a Carbine will almost always be a better option than Sniper Rifles.

Another flood map?
I thought one of the descriptions said you could drain a map.

...That sounds infinitely more fun than swimming around.

It's going to be a clusterfuck with everyone trying to unlock the new handguns lol.

I want Premium but I don't want to pay $50 for it. Really itching to play some new maps. About a week ago Origin had it for 20% off but of course PC only.

edit: it's still on sale! damnit!

A Recon with a Carbine, T-UGS, and Beacon is pretty powerful depending on the map and mode.

Beep.

Dragon's Teeth teaser

The levolution event looks awesome. :0

Also they tweeted this:

That poor train.

 

[terrible]

That poor train.

It was only three days away from retirement too.

I always keep the Spawn Beacon in my Recon loadout, the second gadget I usually switch around depending on the situation.

 

[Hystzen]

Recon load out is

Carbine
Spawn
C4

One man army able handle anything apart from choppers (unless you have some BF magic and c4 it)

 

[Speedhoven]

A recon sitting back can be super useful if he snipes through the deffense so the the soldiers upfront can advance easier. I do it all the time.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Holy shit I just realised they're playing CTF on the new maps.

All modes supported? Believe in DICE LA.

Very much looking forward to that.

 

[dmg04]

Is this going to be the best Map Pack?

All signs point to yes.

Icon is purple and cool
levolution already looks cool
weapons are badass and SHIELD LOLWUT

If only there were a snow map.

One of the maps is set in the winter im sure.

 

[Kane Zakharov]

It'll be the best map pack because of the new Assault Rifle.

 

[dmg04]

So, is the game supposed to make some weird staticy noise every 10 seconds in CTF?

Also, whoever designed the gametype on GulfofOman is a god damn idiot.

Yep, they need to put up invisible barriers on buildings where no one can reasonably reach.

 

[Fersis]

I like urban + vehicle maps so Dragon Teeth's could be awesome!

 

[dmg04]

I'm taking a wild guess that they're not telling us when they're actually going to fix the gametypes, yeah?
or will there be another patch on tuesday

That is just retarded.

Wasn't being entirely serious ... <3

If a map is good is decided on its design. How does an icon, levolution and weaons tell if a map is good designed?

 

[GenericUser]

Just wanted to tell the gaf bf4 community, that I finally got the game and play it regulary. I'm in central european time zone, languages are german and english (to some extend ...).

I got it for my ps4, psn name is sponksta. Feel free to add me. I'd love some good bf4 teamplay.

EDIT: I have none of the addons (yet)

 

[Bollocks]

uhh so about that double xp from battlefest.
is it activated yet?

 

[Tubie]

uhh so about that double xp from battlefest.

nope.

was supposed to start at 2AM PST.

 

[njean777]

Where the fuck is the double xp? I played this morning and it was not activated yet...

 

[Kane Zakharov]

You (We) just got DICED™

 

[thenexus6]

Get any exp boost if you're not a premium member?

 

[TheSeks]

Get any exp boost if you're not a premium member?

Yes. This weeks (TROLLOLOLOLOL</DICE>) 2XP is for non-Premium as well.

And you have the 25/50/100/200% boosts to use via the in-game menu for one-hour "2XP"-like boosts. the 25/50% aren't great, but the 100/200 are worth using during 2XP since THEY DO STACK with 2XP to where you get 300/400% XP boosts for those hours.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

"we are looking into it" lol ok DICE. gg.

 

[dmg04]

Did they break Dexp weekends with the last patch?!

 

[The Faceless Master]

DICE QA shining bright as ever.

 

[Jarrod38]

DICE how hard is it to fix the kill card glitch for hardcore mode? It's been what 4 or 5 months since it has been broken?

 

[Bollocks]

I mean really DICE, how hard is it to activate 2XP.
It's not the first time they've had trouble activating it.

 

[thenexus6]

Even their own celebration festival is broken dear me..

 

[npa189]

I was going to jump on for 2x XP but wow, they can't even get this right?

 

[Bombless]

I was wondering what was going on with the double xp...

Not sure whether I should laugh or cry. Dat #Battlefest

 

[ElzarTheBam]

lol, it's pretty funny.

 

[Fersis]

You can't make this stuff up.

#BasedDICE? #BasedDICE

 

[BlindRage]

Didn't know a better place to put this question, but can I buy premium on 360 and it still carry over to Xbox one?

 

[Steelyuhas]

Yes, you can transfer your premium from 360 -> XBO or from PS3 -> PS4

 

[Tubie]

Double xp is working for me but some people still say it's not working for them.

 

[TheSeks]

You can't make this stuff up.

#BasedDICE? #BasedDICE

More like #failDICE™

 

[BlindRage]

Yes, you can transfer your premium from 360 -> XBO or from PS3 -> PS4

Thank you, I was just worried because I remember seeing the assassins creed season pass could only carry over until may 31 or something.

Thank you again.

 

[Hystzen]

Man I love Zavod 311 amazing map just being US side and sneaking across left side forest to raid B just blast.

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Played for the first time today in over two months. Game works much better, though it still heavily stutters if you are too close to a structure that is collapsing.

Shot down four Little Birds in a row on Nansha CQL with the SRAW.

 

[Tubie]

Looks like they are extending 2x XP to Monday (1PM PST).

 

[Creaking]

Still haven't sorted out the very noticeable framerate drops on maps that feature water (PS4). I feel like they never will. Strangely, no drop was apparent before the server update.

 

[TheSeks]

Looks like they are extending 2x XP to Monday (1PM PST).

Which is stupid. It wasn't turned on for... 12 hours or so. Should just extend it a week. Double so with their "Battlefest" going on.

Man, I've totally slept on the QBU. Seems like a decent commie gun. For the glory of Mao and all that. (SKS for lyfe tho)
