Could I be added to the list maggie85282

Hehehehe
I'm trying to unlock the 1 shot sniper. But then I've heard there isnt a 1 shot sniper in Battlefield?

Also, when you coming online? :sneaky:

There is a one shot sniper rifle but you can't unlock it, you can only find it laying around on a map and pick it up.

No kidding! I just had one of my best rounds & the damn game locks up. Can't even alt-tab out. Had to hard restart. Lost all my unlocks & ranks, & I had been promoted 2x in that round....such crap!!!

Your progress now saves while in a game.

Though I rarely have it crash anymore. When it does I can ctrl alt del and end task of bf4.exe

If your game crashes it saves, if the server crashes all is lost.

Thankfully I haven't seen a server crash the past couple of days.

PS- If you do happen to crash, do not re-enter the same server before that game is over, if you do you will be starting all over there again. If you just let the game end all your progress will be saved.

Yes you could. This is how I used to fire bolt actions, just going for headshots. I haven't done it in awhile so my timing is a little off, but you can get the gist. If you werent suppressed, the bullets went where you aimed. Not at random spots like the earlier linked BF4 video.

Used to and how its done in BF4 might be different, because that is not the case now.

i pickd mine up at a Fred meyer (grocery store with electronics section). Wal Mart was out on it (but had plenty of Xbox and PS3 copies)

This is what really sucks about online shooters. If you aren't in from day one playing at least a hour a day good luck doing anything but getting owned throughout your gameplay. My bf3 experience was basically start up game get killed a minute later. Start again and if I'm lucky 2 minutes pass before I'm dead. Even noob maps are filled with quality players with nothing better to do than own a bunch of noobs.

Good to know. For a second I thought it was download only.

I doubt it matters owning a physical disk. The game 100% requires online and probably the disk only has the key to download the game anyways.

Well i was just thinking about the storage aspect of it. I guess it isn't a bad idea.

I bought mine at GameStop (59.95/w/China EP) 3 DVD's.


Newegg 59.99 includes $10.00 gift card but looks like no China EP included.

Can anyone tell me how to get OSD FPS in BF4 in SP?
I tried MSI AB, console commands perfoverlay.drawfps 1 & render.drawfps 1 and no OSD fps?

TIA

 

[CuriousMike]

I'm continuing the solo campaign and having fun.
I know reviews say the solo aspect is 'meh', but I find it pretty good.

Running around on the aircraft carrier is a lot of fun - the detail is great.

I just use fraps. MSI AB doesn't work with 64-bit executables I believe.

The solo experience was kind of meh. They put you into the same cutscene style multiple times. I mean you slide down in a collapsed building, you run a car off into water, you go sliding down in a ski lift and you fall off a collapsing dam. Its all the same darn trick, big explosion you can do nothing about and your watching a cut scene. The rails are very straight. The AI is pretty "bobby headed" throughout the campaign. All in all it was pretty poor. It wasn't much better than BF3, or the CODs, just all the same rubbish.

Sad to read nothing hasn't changed much.

You CAN buy the disc version from Origin. Or Amazon.

 

[imaheadcase]

BF4 and bf3 was meant to be a multiplayer game. The campaign was just something to attract "that" crowd.

The bullet registration against enemies in single player is horrible too. So many times I've had my crosshairs right on the head and it completely does nothing.

You had to order before Oct 29 to pre-order.

 

[NoSoup4You]

I've played exactly three rounds using the Tunguska, and that was all it took to complete all of the unlocks for it. Three rounds... and only 35 kills to boot. That's some screwy leveling curve.

The patches keep getting better and better. I'm now getting disconnected on 100% of matches.

Oh, cool. Thanks

I was just about to post this. I keep getting disconnected now.

Yes I remember reading this but I didn't preorder I bought mine on 10-30-13 from GameStop for 59.99 and DVD case says includes China Rising EP so guess I was got lucky then.
