We discovered a new mini-game last night. Someone cleared out the roof of B on Dawnbreaker and since the outside rail of B was crawling with enemies, a few of us spawned up there and started srawing the ground. It was like using the predator missile in call of duty. I ended with 16 sraw kills. (They didn't seem to catch on to what was going on)

Anybody up for some naval strike Dom tonight? I've barely played the naval strike maps because of the rubberbanding, but I heard naval strike Dom has bigger areas than vanilla, so it'll be more like CQ small infantry only.

Adamsappel and crew?

I'm down. If we get bored, maybe switch to some oblit since it plays well also.

DICE needs to address adding game modes they don't support through further DLC. I love CTF but I no longer have the will for entire sessions of second assault CTF.

It'd doesnt seem like it'd be that hard to create naval strike alternatives, either.

Agree 100%. All it is is redrawing out of bounds and setting spawns. I guess they have to test balance with vehicles available, but they seem to do little of this in general, thus even easier for them.

I do see vehicle balance as issue, but given how few they use for 64p games it doesn't seem that hard. I think some frustrating vehicle balance bears the alternative, at least in the early going.

I'm honestly surprised the old maps don't support the DLC gametypes. Aside from Carrier Assault they're just churning out the same old gametypes anyway, you'd think they would've just put the assets of them on the launch maps.

Exactly, you see all old game types on new maps. It's not like they didn't know what game types they were releasing with each map pack. They really should have had it all retro fitted at launch and just ready and waiting for the expansion releases.

One thing I give to cod, when they released something new, it encompassed the whole game. Battlefield just always feels so patchwork, half assed, or incomplete when they put out an expansion. If they were a newer franchise, I would understand a bit more, but they have been doing this for yeeeears and are a major studio now. There really just isn't an excuse for it.

The stupid compression of this title's life to one year only adds to the misery.

I'd rather see the next two DLC not add game modes. Please don't waste time adding in scavenger, gun master or tank superiority.

Last night was the first session of bf4 I've had on nearly a month. First game was CTF on metro and it was worst spawn camp I have ever seen. I got 90+ kills but felt so dirty. Rest of the games were good though.

Just have one complaint about last night. When the teams were getting split, it doesn't mean that fellow gaffers have to just wait at the menu screen for the opportunity to switch teams. Atleast try to play and check the scorecard for the chance to switch. Personally, the games in which the gaffers are evenly split are the most fun. But that rarely ever happens, people switch to the winning t am the first chance they get.

I see your point, but it really is just a matter of personal preference on how you want to get the team back together. Also, keep in mind that for every person on your squad tgat says "screw it, play until you can switch," there is a guy on the other team raging that you are playing against them and not doing EVERYTHING possible to get switched back over.

Zero, no it wasn't attempted while I was playing.

That spawn trap was the worst I've ever seen. It's insane that one team is allowed behind the enemy spawn--and that there are only four apparent spawn locations for a team of 32. It was a massacre.

Personally, I hate playing against my friends. If the party gets big enough to have two full squads, I'll split one off and play on another server.

Was Naval Strike rush attempted?

It was, briefly. We only found one NS Rush East server: 32/32 and we had six or seven people in chat by then.

Also, signing on shortly.

Maybe I'm just complaining cus I would always end up being the only gaffer on the team. That's no fun at all. Hopefully it's better next time.

On a positive note, it may be because I haven't played the game in a month, the netcode seemed much better. 64p CTF wasn't rubber-banding too much. Not perfect but seemed better. Still prefer rush though. 32p performs consistently better.

That's why we left after that metro game last night. The only thing worse than dying to your friends, is having to go against friends who are really good at the game.

Cheap bastards. They better be holding out because they want to purchase the better servers.

I think their were other servers to play on, but that was the only one populated.

Is it just me or the PS4 share function still broken? Tried to save a cool moment where I survived by going prone and a LAV drove over me but it saved random 15min from a couple matches ago. I haven't read anything about Sony even acknowledging that this problem exists.

This game was one of my favorite Battefield matches I've ever played. We capped the last flag five seconds before the end of the round. Deliberate, methodical objective play was amazing.

Signing on shortly.

This is an great example of why I don't like playing with most of you.

I'm talking about winning a CTF game from the hard side of Metro. You're talking about winning a Conquest game. Your K/D doesn't mean anything to me.

K/D had nothing to due with the boasting

if it did my score would not be 12,000

I haven't played this game in some time so I thought I'd jump back in but I'm having a problem. Very frequently it starts joining the match and goes to the black screen with the flashing white rectangle in the top right corner and just get stuck there. I have to exit the game, close the application, and start over again. A lot of the time it just does it again but eventually I get to play. Once it lets me play I don't get this error but getting into a match is another story. Is there a fix for this? Is it common?

Edit: Playing on PS4
