I can't play for a while, what are the unlock requirements for the bow?
Evolved1
make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I see no bow anywhere...
I thought someone said it was a Phantom assignment?

I don't know how to do those.... so maybe.

Anyone getting weird stutter/lockup issues? Apparently it's an nvidia driver issue. Just updated to 344.75 and hopefully it fixes it, but if not the fix is apparently to disable the origin in game overlay.

It is, and the requirements are not known yet. Someone needs to find the password first. By "someone" I mean not me.
It is. The fourth Phantom Program assignment. It's tied to an ARG.
Final Stand is up for PS4 in NA. No idea about other platforms / regions though.
On PS4 go to PS Store > Games > Add-ons > New Add-ons.
6.34 GB - I'm downloading it now, 43 min left.
Man, hopefully they fix this shit hit register they introduced with this patch the packetloss/lag. I think I'm done trying to play until I'm sure people popping into my face is from parachutes and not coming around a corner only for the game to not update me on that.
Me too. I think it's all the battle packs we should have gotten from service stars??
Yeah, me too. I'm getting used to them though. Never played it last gen, I like it so far.

They fixed up the updated calender for Premium this patch, and it looks like it will extend for at least a year. We'll probably get some sort of new content next year

With DICE's next game coming out in a year, it does seem likely that they'd try to extend it somehow. I just hope it doesn't mean we have to buy a season 2 pass or something.

I've been playing Battlefield 1943 today for the first time in over a year (with a DS4 no less) while the wife plays Dragon Age on the PS4. Boy, I really miss how simple that game was.
Conquest only, no customization, each class had a set role. It's still really fun and I found full rooms without problem.

1943 was awesome. Just pick your class and off you go.
In other news: This download is proceeding at a downright glacial pace. At this rate it should be done by about Friday. Wanted to shoot some dudes and explode some things.

Played a round on Giants of Karelia. I liked it. Reminded me of Kiasar Railroad on BF3. I only played the one round, because where my BF peeps at? I also (eventually) got 34 Battlepacks; they came in randomly after I had already played. Oh, and all my classes were reset to their default loadouts, although at least everything was properly unlocked. Oh, DICE!
Not enough hover tanks.
Did they fix the controls to be like the Alpha? I dunno if it's just me, but the beta's controls felt sluggish and "off."

The hover tank's controls are still clunky as fuck.

I received exactly 100 gold battlepacks today.
that's a lot of 25% boosts
Like adamsappel mentioned, your loadouts have probably gone screwy. Mine certainly did-- engi somehow had two repair tools equipped as well, which is odd as it's something you couldn't even set up if for some reason you wanted to, yet there it is!
Everyone's loadouts got reset after the patch.
It was specially annoying going through each vehicle and setting them up again.

What's with all the free battlepacks and why didn't I get more?
Please stop with the 25%s, they're useless.
They wanted to make it so you got a gold battlepack when you earned a class service star, but they never actually implemented that. This patch they did and retroactively awarded everyone battlepacks for the stars they've earned since then.
I got 7 200%, 16 100%, 29 50% and a lot of 25s, the grind from 130 to 140 won't be so bad after all!
Welp...
And they introduced shit hit register and lag again. This patch/update...
Also I'm not alone in hating the
CTE whiners
on 64 which is shit and DICE really should make hard player limits on servers per mode
It's like... *gasp* DICE didn't feature the mode when they did that Alpha for more than one day and only on one map. Instead they did a complete week of Conquest while quickly testing CTF and one map of Rush and that's about it.

That weapon switch animation, while realistic is kinda going to kill it. Though right now it seems to not have bullet drop to where I'm not sure why there is a yellow/red bar when all the shots will hit the green/top-bar on firing. *shrug* If Kane wants to test it sometime later this week at long distance, we can do that.

There is drop, but it's very minimal on all but the explosive tip.
Also, fuck the changes to the medical bag. Almost makes it worthless.

Almost?
It's supposed to be "balanced" by "the fact you can use the sticky medikits! </CTE whiners>" when no one wants to use a cumbersome kititem to heal themselves and maybe one or two others.
It's not like you couldn't take the medicbag out by grenades or bullets. People going behind cover and healing wasn't as big a deal as some of CTE wants to make it out to be.

Sorry I hopped off last night dude. I was super tired and had just finished a round, so it seemed like a good time to get off. I'll be on tonight though.

Rush was ruined when they removed the ability to destroy crates with explosives.
The Bow is unlocked with the Phantom Operative password, which we don't know yet.

That did not ruin rush. People who can only win rush by tank sniping or C4'ing crates are dorks who don't deserve the win.

Then you and I have different definitions of what was fun with Rush. My favorite Rush map ever was Arica Harbor. You might be able to tank snipe or collapse the first two set of crates, but afterwards you had to arm them. It was balanced and fun.
As PC users type. "^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"
Rush's intention is for the attacking team to RUSH and reach the crates. Not sit back with RPG-7/AT4 (SRAW)'s and snipe two metal crates while the defense has to jump in front of the rockets while sniping the snipers.
The major problem is the lack of flank routes and sometimes DICE makes "no man lands" (like trying to cross the huge ice road third set Operation Whiteout) with very little cover. Meanwhile, on the opposite spectrum they don't add "destroy-able cover" in certain spots to allow flank routes to open up.
Throw in that no one besides like me and maybe two others on PC CTE actually want to help them fix the mode it's impossible to get feedback for the mode, especially when they don't even put servers up on CTE for these new maps for more than a day and only on ONE map.
Sudden Death IS there, provided people don't spawn. But people are idiots and decide to spawn when you reach 00 tickets because they don't know this.
Once again: PHANTOM PROGRAM ARG. Once someone figures out the password (which is going to take a week or more) you type in the password into Battlelog to THEN do the assignment requirements to unlock it.

Or C4-drone them. Or C4-quad them.Or spam grenade launchers at them with Assault's unlimited ammo. Taking that bullshit out made Rush way better.
Tal Shiar Agent

Maybe before the patch that lessened C4/Grenade damage. But after if the defending team couldn't kill all of the attackers before they widdled away the crates, the defenders deserved to lose.
Rush, in its current form, is a shitty mode that doesn't belong in mainline Battlefield games.
