Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Have they changed anything related to RPG calculation and feedback? Because every game I've played lately seems to apply this weird and very obvious delay to their use, with visual feedback that isn't indicative of behaviour. For example I've fired rockets at tanks, seemingly obvious direct hit to the side with a smoke trail to prove it, but not only no hit but not even an explosion, like the rocket just disappeared. I've noticed this with not just my own but enemy attacks as well, even if I'm just an observer.
One of those may be "dusting" and it's apparently a side-effect of the client-side hit detection and lag or whatever. DICE-LA is looking into it and apparently fixed it on the CTE with the current patch or two ago. The disappearing rockets, meanwhile: If you died that's "by-design." If you haven't, that's just the server shitting.

So I bought it on the PSN sale .... I have to say wow! This is more fun than I thought after all the negative things people said about this game. I played all the battlefield games on PC and this is the first Battlefield game I bought and played on console and I have to say it looks and plays great! Its a lot of fun, now Im wondering: Is premium worth the 50 bucks?
Most of the negative stuff is from the first year when the game was largely broken. In 2015 it's finally a great game.
Not sure about the premium for 50 at this point. I thought I remembered a digital premium edition of BF4 that comes with all the maps for about 50?

Fully agree! It is hard to go back to Normal mode after that extra adrenaline rush.
Q: Any way to bring up the map in hardcore mode (PS3)?
Im sure it's to prevent spamming but man it doesnt make any sense! lol
Happened all the time to me, i think it's a netcode thing. I stopped using rockets =/
Just completed all of MGSV side op missions and story so i might go back to BF4 before MGO3 releases

Why are some of my Dog Tag for weapons now blank? Starting with the Ace 23 towards the bottom of the screen and all the others after that. Do I need 1,000 kills with them? Because I went over 1,000 with the UMP-9 and now that is lit up.
Yup. You need to get another 500 kills with these guns after March 5, 2015 to get the mastery dog tags; the kills before that didn't count. That was the day they were patched.
Just under 200 hours in the game and I still don't have all of the soldier camos I want. You'd think I'd have everything unlocked by now but... those waste of time emblems won't unlock themselves I guess. Real pumped about that colon sign I just unlocked.
Still enjoy the game though.

Looks like it is live. Can't say I noticed much difference on a 60Hz server.
If your framerate is above 60 you'll notice it's a bit more "snappier" but honestly the performance hit for better netcode isn't worth the trade off, IMO. You essentially need your rig to be performing at (preferably OVER) the server's tickrate choice. EG: 60Hz -> 60+ Frames your rig is able to do. 140Hz->140Frames per second.
Doesn't matter if there is only 8 people in the server, you'll still be performing harder due to the increased tickrate/performance hit.

I've been looking for people to get a squad going. I hate that people don't really talk. Half the deaths that occur is because of no communication.

I don't mind the name, personally. It just doesn't sound as good as the one me and you wanted. It's another "Operation" and the backstory doesn't even PLAY into the map since I don't see any research materials on the map.
So it's safe to say I'm pretty fucking irritated with the new team balancing system that was implemented last patch. Who thought that was a good idea?? Here's my post from another thread where I aired my frustration with it.
Check your filters?

WOW. Now watch Youtube celebs (ugh) attempt to copy that.

I thought filters only affect the search function? Do they apply to auto-join also? I've put in 500+ hours and never knew that lol
Oh, if you're joining on someone. No. That's just the server settings. You should be able to check what the server settings are on console by clicking under the person's name on the server if it's like PC Battlelog.

It's forced now on all platforms. Welcome to what PC people have been dealing with.
Def some fun games last night. Wish I was able to play a little later.

man finally got the UCAV and with that the last weapon unlock, getting those jets kills was a pain, air superiority servers seem to mostly be 1 or 2 pro jet pilots farming flying noobs like me
did 20 kills while I was there anyway for the phantom stuff, now just need 15 more road kills ^^
I just hate everything about how it looks, from the stupid look of the soldiers and their outfits to the stupid look of the weapons, but I've never been into SW all that much so not really a game for me

eh it's okay, I can see it selling very well, especially with the movie coming up, not sure how much staying power it will have, especially on PC since everyone and their grandmother only plays CSGO these days
