Hmm... Steam Overlay finally working on BF4. Did Origin/EA finally take the hint?

Have they fixed the bug where you lose your campaign progress yet? I beat it on the first day on normal, but each time I go to do hard, I end up losing my progress.

One of the most annoying Beacons I've ever seen on Golmund Sabo is from this dude a few hours back. Placed it on a rock a bit north of the starting spawn/non-hot-zone paradrop spawn. Proceeds to C4 our tanks. Annoying as hell.

It is player appreciation month, every weekend is double exp weekend. No announcement needed.

The times it's active would be nice.

As would them finally adjusting it to Friday-Mon like EVERYONE else does.
 
Is missing crosshairs/unable to fire primary a known bug on the gunner seat in tanks? Really annoying, and goes away after a few lives.

Just logged onto Battlelog site for the first time. Wow, it is insane how well designed that site is.

The latest bug I am experiencing is my loadouts not being unlocked properly/Level 1 but I think it is fixed now and had to do with servers being updated.
 
Does PS4-GAF plan to set up a fund for renting a server when Rent-a-Server arrives? I can't see myself giving EADICE another full $50 or whatever to rent one by myself, but I wouldn't be apposed to giving $10 to help start one up. So long as the server bans Mobile-AA and significant donators can be admins/mods.

Just had the best two rounds back to back I've ever played in BF4. First round on Zavod - conq, went 40-14 just as engineer defending C and D.

Then on resort went 38-18 again just defending objectives etc.

Everything just seemed to click and I was constantly moving. Decided to call it a night to finish on a high!

last time (BF3) nobody wanted to hang out and get it populated.
 
Was having an awesome CTF match on Caspian, both teams equal, both team pushing, 1-1, hit the final 10 minutes, catching a breather from the mayhem in the previous 2 mins.

Connection to server lost.

DICE.
 
I don't understand why CTF isn't on more maps. It is a fantastic game mode. Sure, you can argue that Obliteration is just a slight re-imagining of One-Flag CTF, but with the 20 minute timer (strangely the one for CTF is 30 minutes) games hardly ever end with completion. Lest not forget that Obliteration is limited to 32 players on Official servers while CTF gets 64 players.

PC players, how well does Obliteration play with 64 players and a higher timelimit?

Never thought I'd unlock the SRR (not much of a sniper), but after three metros with the double XP, and boost, I now have it. Bolt action rifles are surprisingly effective in metro.

I never got the hate on metro until now. See, I only played metro in rush mode(it was actually my favorite bf3 map). You go in, you push, and its over. Tried playing conquest and holy hell. That map IS terrible. You just can't get past those escalators no matter what lol. Kind of weird you can't play metro in rush mode since it sucks in pretty much every other mode.
 
...Oh lordy. This I have to see...

You have no idea.

US side gets the metro, part of it anyway. The Russian side gets the ticket office/elevator area.

That side has a big advantage as they have the upper level. So one side has to traverse upwards through hell fire to get to the flag. It doesn't happen often, as you can imagine.

Saying that CTF on Caspian and Oman is greatly unbalanced in terms on CTF placement. In Caspian, the US side have their flag protected by the giant wall as well as huge space around the flag.

The Russians get shack central aka E point to defend.

In Oman, The Russian's flag spot is next to the cranes, protected by numerous 3 or more storey buildings and huge amount container boxes.

The US are afforded a couple of Hotels and a swimming pool.

Firestorm seems fine though.

Conquest with 24-32 isn't as bad. It is still a meatgrinder but players are spread thin enough that generally the game can be turned around (at least on BF3), but with 64 players even the three new routes do nothing to alleviate the butcher shop roleplay the map takes on.

funny, i thought CTF had too many people.

if i said "its a trainwreck" would you say i was being too punny?

Speaking of Oman and different modes from Rush and Conquest:

Oman Sabotage has the RU team (IIRC) spawn in the water with water vehicles and like NO [read: NONE] land vehicles) while the US team gets land vehicles with like 2-3 tanks.

WTF DICE?

it's like they don't know how to design good layouts for decent gameplay.
