Have you seen the updated Metro map? The video was captured on an XboxOne in rush mode. The grass outside can be lit on fire and you will take damage if you get too close (why not add this to all maps), some ceilings can be brought down and there are more ways to navigate through the corridors. And no blue tint...

I don't know how much you can 'set the grass on fire' in other maps exactly but they do have certain 'reactionary' effects. Like the 'kitchen' area in Locker outside of B can basically be covered in flames if you setoff an explosion in there (presumably because of the gas).

It might be possible in other maps, but frankly players just don't have many ways to start fires and unless there's a well-placed barrel of some sort or you're actually using an incendiary grenade there's no reason something would ignite.

The one thing I have trouble finding is how to start the big events like the dam crashing down/skyscraper collapsing ? Or does it just happen?

There are walkthroughs on Youtube that show how to cause them, but most of the time it's big explosions.

I'm waiting for Gulf and Karg to show up. I hope you can take out the skyscrapers near E on Gulf of Oman, it's one huge tent for campers.

Firestorm looks largely unchanged which I think is awesome. It's weird seeing Caspian with such color though; I know everyone bitched about it but I thought the desaturation enhanced BF. Caspian looks straight out of Farcry.

Damn it this is so exciting. I want them now! I think if they released a Kubra Damn map, everyone would totally flip out with joy. Or Clean Sweep! Imagine the awesomeness? At least we got Oman back.

I am excited about Metro if its a close combat infantry map like Lockers. I excel in that kind of gameplay, I cant stand the maps where I am engaging some guy near me trying to shoot him while one of his teamates is trying to machine gun me from a roof a couple blocks away, another one trying to snipe me from a crane across the map, yet another guy in a little bird trying to strafe me and then we also got the guy in the APC shooting from beyond some hill I cant even see him. All because once you are spotted you are advertised on the minimap.

Play on custom servers with 3d spotting off.

If you like constant airburst, noob toob, grenade, and prone LMG's spamming down two tight corridors, then you'll love metro.

I thought I'd get better at this, but I think I just keep getting worse. I'm level 27 I think now and at a .78 k/d. Which is actually improved from my low point of .72 or something. No matter where I go, I get gunned down from people halfway across the level it seems. I especially love dying from pistol headshots from halfway across the map. Or shooting someone from behind, ADS dot always on him, yet from the time I start shooting him, he has time to turn around and kill me from full health before he dies. Meanwhile the people that go 30-1 in matches don't seem to have that problem. So in summation, I suck and find the game frustrating but oddly addictive.

I'm having the same experience in BF4 as well.
I wasn't super awesome in bf3, but I could hold my own. In bf4 I die like every two seconds.

I am pretty much in exactly the same boat, only my kdr is even a little bit lower.

There is also something very wrong when people switch to pistol to kill you outside of really close range.
Plus, there is something else terribly wrong, because it happened to me several times that I started shooting someone, straight in the chest/face, and he ran up to me and knifed me from the front. I was ready to punch the monitor.

Much of this could I guess be explained by netcode or how well you synch with the server. I dont know the right technical term if that sounds wrong.

But what I do know is I can join some server with 8 ping and find myself emptying clips with my crosshairs planted firmly on someone's body and receive no hits only to have the person spin around and kill me in a quick burst so end up with death after death, then join another server with 30 ping and find myself landing all my shots and kicking ass.

Something is messed up and it frustrates me to no end because I don't know how to determine if the server I am joining is going to be one where my shots will actually land where I aim or will it be the one where I might as well just bend over and die because my bullets dont go where I aim.

Man, player on the stream are pretty bad, seem like they can't aim for some reason. Also, I can't wait to get my hand on the M60E4 and the F2000 (don't know about the GOL Magnum though)

DOH..........

I've been playing BF4/multi-player for several days now. Today, I thought I'd try the the SP missions... 1st time...

At a point where helicopter is asking me as squad leader to show him where target is to 'engage'.... I see no such key on list of 'binds'.... ??? HUH?

What key is it?
