The airburst is great for clearing roofs. Nothing more fun than seeing those rooftards clumped up and dropping a couple rounds right on them and watching them all just... die.
Well at least Im not a rooftard sniper. I like to be on the move!

You are asking the wrong question, how is WIN 8 functionality better than WIN 7? Its not.
The whole argument against win 8 is not the UI, its it does not offer anything for someone to upgrade to worthwhile. If you buy a PC and its on it, fine, but if you have the choice most will choose win 7 by default. Most people think Win 8 should of just been a service pack t win 7.

Win 7 still out sale win 8 for a reason

The op stated that Win8 doesn't have the same functionality as Win7, so I was inquiring why he thought that.

And I will admit...every time I see my KD I think back to my Quake and CS days and realize how far I have fallen, and a part of me can't let that go, but I guess the reflexes just aren't there any more. :'(

I was fooling around with spectator mode yesterday watching some people on my friends list. It is kind of interesting, but strange that you cannot follow individual people. When they die it automatically moves you to someone else. You also don't see their HUD, and it would be nice to see their health, ammo, etc. I dont think it effects your stats...I didn't get any battle reports after watching a bunch of matches.

I hear ya about reflexes, at 42yrs old mine sure arent what they used to be. The last time I played Q3A I felt like I ripped my wrist trying to do the things I used to. :'(

I think you can Tab up the scoreboard and select any player at any time.

Yeah you can, but it would be nice to just select a player and stay on that person.

Just left a game where I got on top a building across from 5 of them, they were all clumped up shooting down into a cap area so I unloaded with my airburst goodness, fired my rounds and watched the fun. 4 died and the 5th was badly wounded, a guy parachuting in got him before i could airburst him some more.

Yes and no, it's effective at medium range where the angle isn't to severe. At severe angles it explodes low or sails over the target. At long distance the projectile is too slow or you have to aim too high and again it sails over the target.

edit: if you are shooting down on them it's glorious.

a. a rooftard sniper

Hmm, B is better than A because he's probably up there killing A. C is a function of getting your ass handed to you and pushed back into spawn, or are you talking about the tards camping a specific spawn point at any given node? Decisions, decisions...

I almost never get sniped by "rooftop snipers", am I missing something or is this not an issue except for the fact they are not helping the team? Granted, I tend to ground n' pound most of the time so snipers aren't my main threat... but they seem generally harmless and let's face it - not everyone cares about winning and many people are casuals that just want to "get their snipe on" during the roughly 2-3 hours they get to play Battlefield each week.

LOL

But to answer your question. The type of spawn camping I was referring to was the TDM type, where they just lay near a popular spawn point and just blast away continuously.

It's their general uselessness that pisses me off. Getting 5 capped? Look how many snipers on roofs you have. They occasionally get me, it happens, but they aren't a major threat. A couple snipers up there spotting/lasing/sniping are OK, but a 2 teams of 6 each? Please.

Ok, I will have to go with B>C>A. B is at least killing A, who is useless. C falls in the middle, while they are somewhat useful getting kills, they are a no-skill ass clown.

the game feels funny to me, I don't really care for it.

I'm just gonna keep playing bf3 for now.

It took awhile for it to grow on me. Now it feels BF2ish to me. Way more chaos and fun. If the maps are like the beta, it's much improved over bf3.

The gunplay in BF3 is better in my opinion though.

Loaded a jet ski with C4 and terrorizing boats is the way to go.

If I preloaded BF4 through origin, can I play the single player after downloading or I have to wait till launch day?

I would counter that people saying are dumb upgrading when they don't have to..

you get dx11.1, better thread management, since I have a 3770k that's a performance increase for me, lower resource usage, better multimonitor support natively

I keep meaning to upgrade my gaming rig, I just have it on a laptop right now

maybe before launch I will get around to it

Really enjoyed BF3 -- I've logged around 380 hours -- but I can't say as I'm a fan of BF4.

Biggest complaint is the gun-play which seems looser and not as crisp as in BF3. Willing to give BF4 a try as I recognize my impressions might just be teh result of only having access to a handful of guns.

Think the sound is great and am sure that some of the graphical shortcomings, whether they relate to performance or appearance, will be resolved by the time the game goes live.

so much crashing... and it always seems to happen when i'm doing really good. maybe it can't handle high scores? hope they fix this crap in the full game.

Interdasting, I thought I read it would. Not that I care so much, I had pretty shitty stats and only got rank 5.

Gunplay seems more refined to me. Seems you got to be better controlling of fire in bf4.
Feels like weapons are more inaccurate, I'm controlling the kick OK and firing in bursts but it seems like the 3rd to 5th bullets have more variance than BF3. I'm also a bit rusty so there's that...

It's a mix of both, some guns are laser beams of death while others are ridiculously inaccurate even at point blank ranges.
