It is so annoying when you are doing very well in a match and it crashes...drives me NUTS!

If it is a game crash, you usually still get the points if you don't re-join the same server before the match ends. However, if it is a server crash, the points are gone...

Heh...I was having a bad game and thought I'll just kill BF4 and rejoin the server. Got stuck in the queue and didnt get in until the next round. So not only did I get the bad score, but I had to wait like 10 min as well.

Official thread

Patch coincides with China Rising for Premium members. Too early for new content IMHO. I was expecting more from this patch, if their patch notes are accurate.

If it was like last patch they had lots of smaller fixes. They also fix lots of stuff automatically you don't see, like MMOs do with server downtime.

I was playing on a shotgun only server and I was amaze on how DICE decided that each different shotgun have different model of damage, even though they fire the same caliber bullet.

That is possible.

Barrel length and ergonomics combine witb weight of said wepon would handle differently. But damage should be the same I agree with that.

How do you unlock the MOD 0?
You have to use the crappy RFB until you get enough points with it to unlock the MOD 0. This is where the XP boosts really come in handy.

Ive got all the guns unlocked now except the UMP9 that requires all the maintenance ribbons, and the sniper rifle that requires 50 headshots over 250m. Ill get those two in due time as I play normally.

I got the maintenance ribbons fairly easy by just riding in little birds. The marksman ribbons will be a pain in the ass. I think I have 20 now, but I must get them by combining 50m headshots. I dont think I can stay in one place long enough to get longer shots.

Play rush and snipe ... 50m isn't that far. Except it really is 250m, which is a PITA.

I felt the same about the RFB, its total junk! Switched to the MOD 0 as soon as I unlocked it and finished unlocking the other DMR's in no time. Once you get a few attachments you can get the accuracy rating up to 100%, from there I went RECON and just used it like a sniper rifle. I used the 4x ACOG, angled grip, heavy barrel, and a laser for when I was on the move. I turned the laser off once I was in my camping spot.

Would much much rather use a sniper with an acog. Easy kills on hardcore.

If you crash doesn't your score stay in tact as long as you DO NOT re-enter that server until after that round ends?
Correct.

You crash, don't re-enter, stats stay after match finishes.
You crash, re-enter, stats reset to new connection's stats.
Server crashes=all stats lost.

I usually reenter the server after a game crash if i do bad before the crash.

Im not a long range kinda shooter, I think I have 2 so far. LOL

I remember a few days ago I was sniping on Flood Zone and got a headshot on a guy manning a stationary turret at A. The bonus popped up as 249 meters and I was thinking " Crap! I shoulda took a step backwards before firing that shot".

Me too, I was just describing how I went about unlocking all the DMR's....that I will probably never use.

Lol ok

I dont know how I got them though. The only thing I can think of was sniping on the dish on rogue transmission. I only use an ACOG on my sniper rifles, so many times I dont bother on long range shots.

I found that the map Paracel Storm and Rogue Transmission (lots of snipers camp near the tower or the hills between B and D. Or the actual dish when it still stand) are good for getting long range HS kills. I got a lot by

Hitting long range shots are fun but I barely get any. I played counter-strike for too many years. The bullet drop throws me off.
