I was playing it the week before BF4 launched and there were still thousands of players.


Anyone know if the flashbangs actually work? I throw two in a room, run in, and everyone in the room shoots me. I also dont think I have ever been flashed, so maybe they dont work.
They do work, but their radius is way too low, and perhaps the duration is a tad short.

I know I get hit markers, then rush in and I get blasted. It wasn't working when we were on Locker last night. Probably would have had 10-15 more kills if I just used regular grenades.

Ok, here's my issue. I can't seem to get the "Deploy Bipod" tutorial help screen to go away. It is there all the time since I started playing. Anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions to make it go away? Takes up a lot of precious screen real estate.

You should be able to disable it the Options. I dont have access to the game right now, but I know its in there.

Any way to retrieve a lost password? Or is that for the Vietnam mod only?

Seeing tons of punkbuster bans being broadcast via pbbans tonight. Looks like they are rounding up the first batch of hackers

I wish the game just worked and didn't crash so much. Sometimes it's fine other times it will crash multiple times in a row. I have no clue why

I might go back to previous drivers as I am now getting looping sound crash

Yeah I'm done with this game. I was hoping to get another 300+ hours out of it like with BF3, but I haven't seen such laughably bad netcode since I'd say the BF1942 days over dialup. No exageration.

Played a round today, I went about 20-20. The other team were mostly ~15+ to 1-2 deaths. The entire enemy team had pings above 150. Every fight I would just die, and then 1-2 seconds later the enemy would run around the corner where I was. It was as if _I_ was playing with a ping of around 2000+. These guys were basically invulnerable and had a 2+ second advantage over everyone. It was disgusting. Anyways I'm through with this game until this shit gets fixed. Hugely disappointed with DICE.

Did we just play on the same server? I ran into this exact same scenario. My ping was around 30, other team all over 200, yet they had a bunch of guys with 20+ kills and very few deaths. We lost 190-0 in a 32 person domination match.

I actually like the F-35 now, much better maneuverability than the BF3 version. A-10 is godly vs infantry with the gun.

Maybe just look for low ping servers that cap ping? I have noticed 120+ ping players doing particularly well, and any suspect deaths I check the scoreboard and look at pings. While it happens, it doesnt happen enough to stop me from playing. I just complain about it here.

I wish I could find a hardcore server that banned snipers... So annoying when the entire other team are snipers. It takes such an incredible amount of skill to use a DMR and one shot people across the map after firing off five.

Sigh. After a long day of work, tried to log on to play some BF4 and I keep getting kicked from every server with some Punkbuster error. WTF DICE?

Thats not so bad...look at it as essentially going 1-4, 12 games in a row. :biggrin: BTW, what game mode are you playing? You can always trying camping, at least till you get used to the game.

I've tried every mode, normal and hardcore. Like I said, the first few days I was doing just fine. Now its just insta-kill over and over and over and over. I have some good rounds, but its rare. I pretty much never live when an enemy and myself fire at the same time. I pretty much only get kills on people that don't see me.

I've tried camping, rushing, flanking, sniping, vehicles, working with a squad, working alone. I've played a bazillion first person shooters and as they get more and more arcadey I guess I get worse and worse. This game is nothing at all like Battlefield BC2 which I thought was great.
