Battlefield 4 |OT2| Is it fixed yet?
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
:/ :\ :/ :\ :/ :| Not really. I'm not enthused by going back to the World Wars. Plus, there is no gameplay shown. And I have no clue if they actually listened to Rush players complaints and will have better map designs. :|
I'm completely luke warm for a main-line DICE-DICE built Battlefield for once. Which is just crazy. In fact the setting has me going and messing about with my Steam copy (despite owning the Origin version as well) of BF2 to see if I can get that running and going through the ranks of that over pre-ordering "Battlefield 1." Crazy.

I don't like the vanilla maps... :|
I just tried getting into this on PC (played it a bit on PS4, always liked 3 more though) and I'm just absolute garbage. I feel like I can't move without getting killed immediately. Never had this issue with 3, but it's turned me off of 4 both times I've tried getting into it. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
You're new and you don't quite know the maps, weapons, or general strategies. Keep your head on straight, maybe stick with your team and try support roles before offensive roles.
You're up against some folks who have been playing this for two and a half years.
Is there a nice all in one getting started guide somewhere?

Yes. Most people stick to playing vanilla maps nowadays and they're pretty good.
1. Smash that Q button
2. Throw out your fucking kit items.
3. Go for the objectives.
4. ????????
5. PROFIT!
Even then, rumors are circulating that EA/DICE are planning to release the others over the next few weeks/months for Hardflop and BF4. We'll see. I bought Hardflop's DLC on Origin and am waiting to see how that pans out. Watch them pull a Titanflop and just make the Premium edition of those the new $20 price making them giving these out for free redundant.
There are some good ones out there on Youtube.
However, first thing first is that you should stick with your squad (the guys in green) at all times. You will learn a lot just by following them and helping them out.

Just bought it and am downloading all the expansions.
The quick match menu is a bit of a mess.
Can someone tell me which of the 20+ options I choose to get into official conquest rotations of all maps including DLC?
Thanks a lot!!

Man I haven't played BF4 in like 6 months... will give it a try later. I've been playing The Division only, over 200 hours in that thing already

Also why are the top three orange options bringing up a DLC menu when I'm already a premium person. I'm so confused.

Large Scale Battles includes Conquest Large maps from vanilla and all the DLC.
Make sure you download all the DLC. On PSN you have to go to the store and manually download each DLC, I'm pretty sure it works like that on XBL too (not sure if it works like that on Origin tho).

What are people's favourite guns?
I want to love the g36c but it's just so weak. I find vehicles OP against javelins (they've unlimited smokes / jammers just by hiding behind a hill then coming back) etc so absolutely no point rocking engineer.
Which assault rifle would you say is best?
M416?

Just bought premium. Had to manually open 65 Battlepacks. Great start.

Figuring out what to buy in a AAA game and how to download it all is such a weirdly confusing process.
Still active PC gamers here that are up for some casual play? My profile is http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/nan0xide/
Your first "Battlefield moment".
Then what was the point of buying Premium? I could've just waited two years and gotten the damn weapons for free. :/ They honestly should just do free map packs all over. Splitting the base hasn't helped them out at all and Premium isn't really worth it beyond the 2XP weekends.

Getting back into the action after not playing since China Rising. Battlelog lists me as a Premium soldier, how ever I can't install any of the DLC packs outside the ones that are currently free for everyone. it tries to make me purchase them. Is this a common issue or am I just really lucky?
Try buying them still, they may be listed as zero dollars. I've had that issue in the past.

playing the maps 2 years ago is the point.
and yes, all maps free from the start would be great for the player base.
Yes, I know. My point/joking was that it was a waste of $60 when I could've waited 2 years, been late to the expansions (since NOBODY plays them on the modes I play on PC) and saved $60.

yeah they need to make the premium maps free everyone now so I can actually play the Premium playlists
I say this as someone who's had premium since day 1
and holy hell I still haven't unlocked the f2000

Yeah, there are still many Premium maps that I've yet to play due to server availability.

Metro 1000 tickets. Spam the unslung grenade launcher. Unless you're needing the debris kill which isn't part of that IIRC?

I got the 10 kills inside the Metro thing but it reset and I also need the 2 kill assist ribbons.

It's honestly not that bad of a campaign, it's on par with Shadowfall imo and miles ahead of the trainwreck that was 3.
If on PS4 or Xbox you can just use the Airburst and Incendiary Grenades to get the assists really fast.
If on PC I imagine most servers ban those tho.
A light machine gun with a large clip and tossing C4 bricks around usually does the trick for me on Metro.

Does the PS4 version still have a bunch of players? Thinking about picking this up on PS4, last time I played was like 1st month when this game came out on PC. That BF1 hype is getting me lol

How do i get premium for free on xbox? its trying to charge me!

yes.
It's still extremely active. Tons of full servers running pretty much any time of the day.
Premium is not free.
The Final Stand DLC will be free starting on the 18th, this Wednesday. The Dragon's Teeth DLC they were giving away is not available for free anymore. That was up May 3rd through May 10th.
Pick it up. The community will continue to be active until BF1 hits. Even then I suspect it will live longer.

Considering its not the same era as BF1, id say even longer.

Player count is actually higher than usual.
According to BF4stats.com (which isn't official), there's been 50,000 unique players in the last 24 hours. That's more than the usual 35,000 or so for the past several months.
It's a great community.
