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

I wish I could have the dev who said class balance was fine and there's no overpopulation of snipers at all for myself for an hour with blowtorch and pliers. Fuck you and your wannabe perfectly correct and real world statistic data!

Can you give the boosts away? I don't care to be level 100 and mainly play assault so XP really does me no good.

For 5v5 Domination competition. Though if you don't like dubstep, don't join while it is on breaks.

Almost think this should be 2 squads of 5 per team.

Double XP and double the server crashes.

 

[taq8ojh]

lol all Premium deals I can find are listed in $, but then magically switch to the same amount of GBP. That's wrong as hell!

 

[satsau]

This game is addicting. Not helping with my Steam backlog of games :-(

I would bet AKWolverine. I think he was knocking on 100 when I was in the 40s. I recently hit 60 at 115 hours.

 

[Dkcode]

Still getting crashes and sound loop lock ups. Its unplayable for longer sessions.

Anyone still getting this crap?

Yeah I think he wins, he was at like 102 a day or two ago. I'm at 40.

No, but I am still getting audio drops on some maps.

He's at 104 now.

Canbacon is probably in second place at 80 with only 118 hours played, of course all of his 200% boost packed battlepacks didnt hurt.

I just hit 54 with 95 hours.

And now my WTF moment of the day...

I ran into an enemy sniper carrying an M9 inside a shipping container, I let him have 3 point blank blasts from my UTS15 duckbill equipped shotgun, dead in the chest. Did he die? NO! Not even a hitmarker and he then kills me with his puny pistol.

On the bright side I now have all the shottys unlocked and the UTS15 is pretty nice, but the starter QBS-09 is really all you will ever need.

Shipping containers are a crap shoot for hit markers. Same with duckbill railings. Just throw a grenade in there.

I would have if I had known he was in there, I just ran into him while rushing to a dom flag. What made it even more mind boggling was that this was on a HC server, but then again I felt out of sync the whole time I was there. I was getting kills for shots I thought were for sure misses and missing shots I thought were dead on. I hadn't had any issues like that in quite a while, I hope it was just a flaky server.

Im not really liking any of the barrel attachments for rifles and shotguns, I feel like I do better with just the standard barrel. I nearly always used a heavy barrel in BF3.

One question, how does STAFF shell work? I can't hit anything with it.

It seems to be a little wonky for everyone. If you can aim and get it pretty close to an armored target it will explode sort of like an airburst and does quite a bit of damage. But sometimes it just sails off into the wild blue wonder and does nothing.
