Battlefield 4 |OT2| Is it fixed yet?
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
Doesn't matter the platform. No matter the expansion the previous ones are dropped it seems. :/
Man Dice, it's like for every 1 step forward there are 2 steps back.
Squad Join now finally works with server browser -> can't switch teams, stuck with god damn awful team.
If someones game crashes while in squad join, they can just rejoin through private squad, except for the squad leader, he's fucked.
Squad Join List is empty, so only option is to manually rejoin and hoping that you'll end up on the same team your friends are only to realize that you can't join your former ingame squad because it's private due to squad join.

More losses than wins today. Mostly because half the team won't ever spot and then I make a suggestion to flank and half my squad is "NO U" about it. :|
Just once, I'd actually like to be on a team that knows what they're doing without me having to poke them in the right direction.

Need to unlock this as soon as possible then. I've been using the scar and now the bulldog in single shot mode and doing better even though it lacks the range of the true DMRs.

It's a shame. BF3 PC didn't have this problem. You could find loads of games on each of the expansions.
haha yup; I try to be a team player every game but if I see we have like one or two bases I just start going super tryhard and begin caring more about my K/D. If I'm going to lose, I'm at least going to lose at the top of the scoreboard.
You're on PC, Right?
Yes. But I play non-traditional modes, so...
I want it on the record that Lumphini Garden is awful for Sabotage. This is the particular "NO U" map I'm talking about. US (or whatever team is on the south of the big map) can get spawn trapped easily on their bombing sites being right on their spawn. Covertly swim for four minutes after getting two more deaths than kills and get "NO U YOU'RE NEGATIVE, WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO YOU" from people.

Guys? Guys? Anyone? Anyone? *crickets*
I wish they'd give out Battlepacks everyday like they did "Player Appreciation Month."
What's frustrating is that the other maps (NS and SA in particular) would solve so many of my issues with grinding these gun unlocks out, but instead I have to suffer Shitty Market numerous times.

So if I'm on ps4 and wanting premium should I not bother?
I hate how dice obliterate the official server numbers. Hate playing on other servers with admins who get upset when you kill them and kick you.

The RAWR is much easier to use if you switch to 3rd person. Can't see shit when you're shooting with it in first person.

Propaganda may just be my new favorite map.
(PS4) If you mostly play Conquest, this is a non issue. I find games for all the DLC and Vanilla any time of the day. I should know this, since what I almost always do is play one match of each DLC, kinda like a rotation. unless I'm in a really good server with good players.
PC might be different. It also doesn't help that the PC community loves to run Metro/Locker all day... the friends I know who play on PC, that's all they do, so that doesn't help things (sorry for the anecdotal evidence there!).

Cool, I do solely play conquest.
Think I'll give it a whirl. Hopefully I can unlock the mtar quickly again.

I'm loving the new maps and find the reused assets to be a positive since I've become so accustom to them. I know how to move through them using the corners. Since I suck at some of the wide open maps, I have spent most of my time playing close quarters in these buildings guarding a flag. Now I have a whole map of them.
Anyone else get the loadout reset bug? I use to get it once a night, now I get it every single game. It's driving me mad!

Getting the headshots with Unica was pretty easy, but on the last round I was playing the server connection was lost thanks to DICE upgrading the servers I lost 6 headshots.
I struggled big time getting those headshots. It's so damn inaccurate. I was crouching and firing so slowly trying to get headshots and it still wasn't connecting 90% of the time. I was only going for headshots and it still took me 90 kills to get 20 headshots. That's awful. That's a lower headshot rate than my other pistols
(edit: just checked and this is not true, very close though)
I will never use that gun again. It traumatized me. If used as a bodyshot machine I bet it's great but when trying to be accurate? Ugh.
Oh, I know it's easy. I'm just whining because I nearly had one and my squad-mate goes for the knife as I'm setting up a headshot. Losing me my last headshot and so for the last two hours I haven't been able to get another one again.
You tried pistol-only servers? I was able to get around 20 in a 300% ticket TDM round on Shanghai.
Nope. Did them all in Rush/Sabo.
Finally got one off a recon knifing a teammate. As soon as they finished, BLAM. Final headshot.
No more using that gun. *dumps*

FTFY.
The scars on my soul disagree.
I still don't know how you got those. Outside of possible desynced hitboxes or fucked hitboxes in general.
I've had about 3-5 front-knifes from the side happen to me today. Pisses me off. Don't show me a player state that simply isn't true, DICE.
Not liking these maps on anything but chainlink.
Meatgrinders. I'm never getting that 5 rawr kills in a round trophy, I have to hope I can actually pick it up and then try to find a hiding spot on maps not much bigger than first set rush.
Meh, got the plat anyway still missing that shit capture the flag trophy that I'll never get so not that bothered.

classic BF moment. shoot a guy in the head three times in a row, nothing happens - last frantic shot hits him in the toe BAM! HEADSHOT!
That's easy.
Propaganda South base (whatever team is near last set in Rush)
RAWR spawns there. Grab it, place it somewhere. Then get somewhere safe.
Proceed to LMG fools. It'll respawn as well. So just wait.

Not that I'm aware. But they do spawn in Sabotage. I'm just using "Last Set" as a designation since I don't play Chain Link/Conquest.
Though I guess as a flag... it'd be... F? G? Toward the south, the north building of the first flag on that southern most flag is where the RAWR spawns. It has the same minimap icon as the battlepickups.
I think the US side also gets one in Conquest. I've seen two of them but don't know where that one would spawn.
Ah ok thanks.
Got it.
There is one at A and one at E. I took the one at A and hide in the container/bunker thing and did laps from a to e(camping the e rawr spawn if it's still there) got 8 kills before someone killed me at A.
It needs a nerf, badly. We know.
Told you it was easy.
There's one on Sunken Dragon in the Carpark. But that one is harder to use due to the elevation changes/wonky EOD bot controls and the map is bigger so it's easier to shoot it.
Yep, I kept trying to do it on that horrible congested map (pearl market?) which lead me to believe it was impossible.It needs a nerf, badly. We know.

What's everyone else's opinions of the maps? The only one I like somewhat is propaganda.
All are great besides Sunken Dragon. That one can die in a fire. The sunken ship point is plain bullshit, so much camping going on in there it's ridiculous. Winning as US on Chainlink is almost impossible, you only have A in range while China spawns in reach of CDE.
Pearl Market is relatively easy to navigate once you locate the stairs that lead up. I spend most of my time on the roof around E, you can get to multiple buildings from there and can shoot almost everywhere.
I prefer Garden once the levolution has happened. I just wish it bridged the two railway sections to create an alternate access point to the station. E is a bit too far out.
General issues with the DLC : Desert Eagle, Bulldog.
Propaganda is great. Perfect infantry map with tanks able to fuck you over if you're caught in the open on the highway portion.

There's tanks on Propaganda? I have never seen them. Maybe Sabotage and Chain Link (and Rush) are all Infantry, or the servers I've joined turned them off.
I have seen LAV's in Sabotage with the hovercrafts (HOLY SHIT DICE ADDED ONE EXPANSION VEHICLES TO ANOTHER!) and dirtbikes (HOLY SHIT AGAIN, DICE ADDED ANOTHER EXPANSION VEHICLE TO ANOTHER!) but that's it.
Dirt Bikes being in Shit Market is WTF. While the "roads" are narrow, it seems too "90 degrees" to bikes to be going through there at a decent clip.

Meh map pack overall.
Pearl Market is the epitome of getting shot in the back. Too much unnecessary clutter littered all around the map too.
Propaganda's layout is pretty much the same as Firestorm, which to me makes it feel like a smaller version of it. I know i'm kinda nitpicking but it's bothering me so much.
I agree with Bombless about Lumphini Garden.
I haven't encountered too many issues with Sunken Dragon, but I feel like it's a little too much in favor of the Chinese siide simply because they have 3 flags on their side of the map, and the US side has to cross the bridge/water area to get to those flags.
New sniper rifle isn't very good. Deagle is too good compared to every other pistol in the game. Ballistic Shield is pointless, as expected.
Bulldog is good, certainly wouldn't consider it overpowered.
