The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

Yep, over a gig. Do you know how long it takes to download a gig in southern Uganda? Fucking forever, that's how long. Now I can't play till it's done? Ugh... Oh well, I can only play SP for now anyways, pings are all over 500 to any server I try.

Yes. Check out www.walkingdeadarmy.com.

We have a BF4 server with usually a lot of people on in the evenings (North America) and us admins try to do a decent job policing it. We also have a public TeamSpeak 3 server. Zargon and some of the other guys here game with us on a somewhat regular basis.

WDA_Slayer is my origin name if you want to add me.

HA! I think I followed Zargon to that server and ran into you (and your buddies) for a few games.

Video proof of bullet spread glitch while ADS.

WOW, this mimics my experience exactly.

I almost wonder if this has been there since BF3. This is definitely a huge reason why I feel like every 3rd bullet I shoot actually hits what I'm aiming at.

Cool. Hope you had a good experience. We appreciate you guys hoping on our server and welcome any feedback.

Our server is in either Chicago or Kansas City (I forget) so most of US should have pretty good pings.

Apparently I lost many thing that I unlock for boats, anti-air vehicle after I update the battlelog... Anyone seeing the same issue? NVM, apparently Battlelog is not in sync with the game, just check in game and I still have everything.

Looks like they fixed unlocks for the boat, thank god. Hope they nerfed it a little as well.

Man, those crashes can ruin a great time...

I did see that, I visit that site every day when I can. However, I am only here till next Friday, have been here for three weeks. Going back to Italy, which is better internet.

 

[realjetavenger]

The work-around on this (if they didn't fix it) is to allow battlelog to your trusted sites in the IE11 settings.

Holy crap, I had no idea. Thanks. I mean, firefox is working fine for me but wth..

 

[Ackmed]

So you have that kind of latency everywhere and still bought the game? Honestly, with 500ms I would have problems browsing web, let alone playing anything.

Why the heck do you live in such place of Earth anyway?

My home is in America. I am in the Marine Corps. I am currently deployed. Our home "base" is in Italy. We go to various African countries to help train their army's, then return to home base to regroup, etc. I have been to Senegal, Nigeria (twice), Chad, Djibouti (twice) and now Uganda. I wanted the game, to get used to it as much as possible. Playing single player is better than nothing. Played a solid week once it came out in Italy with decent pings, under 100 most times. Have been gone ever since though. I go back to the States in Jan, plan to play it hard core then.

 

[realjetavenger]

In BFP4F it was a perk type thing, it was passive. If you died you automatically dropped a grenade and it blew up or something very similar. In BF4, you have to knowingly equip a grenade, pull the pin and wait to die. It's very different.

Ah yeah, that's right. It's been so long since I played that game i could not remember exactly how it worked, just that you could release a grenade after being killed.

So I saw a list of glitches posted on reddit, not sure if they are all accurate or not...

but this one stood out to me.

Hip fire spread remains if switching to ADS without releasing fire button

For those of us who like to run around rambo style with LMG's... might explain why we suck so much.

Their QA dept must be a bunch of trained monkeys.

WOW, this mimics my experience exactly.

Honestly this isn't really a huge issue in my opinion. This has been the case in BF3. Going into ADS while under full hip fire will not help since you are already at a full recoil spread.

Now, if you do a hip fire start then ADS, pause then do 5 round bursts. It will get a lot better.

Also, this may also apply for movement.

That video demonstrates why Lockers is such a good map and why I expect a lot of fun from Metro.

 

[DeadFred]

That video demonstrates why Lockers is such a good map and why I expect a lot of fun from Metro.

My opinions on both maps.

Locker is a decently designed map with lots of chokepoints but also lots ways to flank and I enjoy playing it.

Metro on the other hand is the worst designed Conquest map in BF's history, and especially so with 64 players. In BF3 whoever caps B first wins, usually the Russian side since they are closest. Then it becomes one giant spam fest over two sets of stairs and an escalator.

heh, I can't even imagine trying to sight a weapon while firing it full auto.

 

[taq8ojh]

It's probably working as intended.

 

[gregulator]

So I just jumped on a video card upgrade, going from a 6850 to a 7870 (MSI at newegg for $120). The question remains: will I get any better, or will it just look better before I get killed...?

There is no more clan page in battlelog huh? It used to be nice to find fellow ATers to play with on that page. I have yet to play with anyone using VOIP, and that is what I loved about BF!

These two assholes are still not banned. WTF!
22%+ accuracy with MG4, half of 4000 kills headshots, and almost 9 kpm. Aimbot at its best.

Lockers opens up even more with all the walls you can explode through.

And you still end up in worse clusterfuck than Metro stairs.
That map is serious fail, even thought it looked promising at first.

Metro was satisfying when you broke the stalemate and end up spawn trapping the other team. I used to have my best games stat wise on Metro, because I always know which direction they are coming from. And I dont use noob tubes and rocket launchers, just straight gun work. Same with Grand Bazaar. In BF4 there are almost too many angles.

Metro will have 5 ways to and from B now. It will be greatly improved. Watch LevelCaps video on it.
