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

[Zargon]

Well finished getting all the unlocks. Did it without getting a single kill somehow. Now that I have the active radar missiles I can finally get some kills.

Hmm Getting 5 kills in 1 round is turning out to be problematic. Even the 250 ticket servers rounds only last 1-2 minutes. The best player might get 5 kills but I'm lucky to get 3-4 before it ends. Awesome.

LOL air superiority is so bugged right now it's practically unplayable. First of all, it's impossible to get any kills because as soon as you get a lock on someone without flares or start hitting them with your gun they just bail out and respawn. Second, once I die I can't respawn, the interface is bugged every single time, so I have to reboot my computer and rejoin the server. I swear DICE fails over and over again even worse than Obama does.

are you gaming on a VM on a mac or something dude?

you have a billion more issues than anyone I know combined

Ive never had the respawn issue in air superiority, Ive experienced the revive while you are in spawn meu bug a few(that one sucks)

I played a handful of rounds last night to sneak it into 2xp, and the 100 ticket games were going like 10 minutes, and the 300 ticket games took about 30


maybe one team capped all 3 pts and never lost them in your games, or you are overexagerating by about 100 times

I think the game would be better off without sniper rifles, DMRs and any scopes over 4X on any amps other than Railroad. Problem is no snipers killing you but people just being useless while they lie in the corner and not push points.

All the air superiority games I played were crap, they left a lot of people jetless. I spent one entire game waiting trying to spawn a jet, thankfully it was over it in just a few minutes. The all helo map was a little better since 2 could ride per vehicle. I played one game on each map and that will probably be all Ill ever play of that mode, I did the same with BF3's.

I must be the luckiest person alive. I haven't had a client crash in weeks. I've had a few server crashes and failed connections(failed to connect to EA) while trying to join servers. My ISP has been the source of most of my problems. They seem to be doing maintenance quite frequently this past week.

Then they would just lie in a corner with an LMG or AR and not push points. Some people are just lazy.

Quit playing AS on maps over 24 people. There are more than enough planes/helis for 24 players on the maps.

I've now unlocked all weapons (except two from the campaign, UMP-9 and FYJS) and pretty much all vehicles, finishing up MBT, IFV and attack jet. This is a lot farther than I got before, used my first 100% to finish unlocking most everything.

It's currently only available to Premium users. You should be able to play in two weeks when the it's released for general dlc.

Dammit. I thought digital deluxe was the best.. guess not. I don't recall them saying I had to wait two weeks after it came out to play, just that it was included. Guess I need to read more fine print, still pisses me off. Thanks for the clearing up.

I did get a 200% XP bonus in my gold pack though, too bad I am not good enough to maximize it. I don't get the chance to play that much and when I do my pings are pretty shitty.

That would help Im sure, but I personally just dont like the game type. I already have all the vehicle unlocks including those for the jets and helos, so there's really no point in it for me.

 

[DeadFred]

Hey DICE wheres my 1911 3x scope for playing today????

Wasn't sure if you were going for the unlock though.

Most of my AS games would last 15-30 minutes ... I'm finally getting better with the jet.

You misunderstand. The Premium-users got it two weeks in advance. The offical release date is almost two weeks from now. Digital Deluxe never said anything about getting the DLC in advance, only that you would get it free of charge on its release date which is almost two weeks from now.

Ok wth is going on, am I the only one who can't connect to any servers today? It says fails to connect to every server.

 

[maevinj]

So after playing last night, I came to the conclusion BF4 is completely backwards as far as looking for servers with good pings. I was playing on a server last night and my ping was between 84-100. I played about 4 rounds and each round my kdr was at least 1 or higher. I've never had that happen in Bf4.

Usually when that happens to Me, there is some dialog box hiding in the background.

Yeah I joined one yesterday and couldn't get a plane.

I don't know how people are auto deploying into planes because there is absolutely no human able to click on one of those icons as fast as I am seeing them flash from available to unavailable.

Maybe they are just furiously clicking the Deploy button

 

[sigurros81]

How do you unlock the SUAV? There's no documentation anywhere on how to unlock this damn thing.

I believe there's a feature that lets you double-click on the faded icon of whatever vehicle you want to get into, and you'll instantly deploy into it whenever it gets available.

recon score I think

I had that problem after downloading the last 800+MB patch. Had to download the China Rising DLC before I could connect to any servers.

 

[sigurros81]

Correct. Click on a vehicle you want to deploy into (whether it's spawned or not), and hit ENTER or click deploy once. The message should change to "AUTODEPLOY IN X SECONDS".

Because of this, spam clicking deploy will only put you at a disadvantage.

 

[sigurros81]

Woo! I'm now ranked #1 in Denver for battletanks and #4 in all of Colorado!

Easy unlock. Just enter in the bomber and kill a person. The bomber station will be a white building with a radar dish on top. The SUAV is a recon gadget.

I understand that now. I didn't see anything when ordering that they would get it two weeks ahead of me. That's why I said I should have read the fine print. Two weeks isn't a big deal really. I didn't even want it until I found out I couldn't have it...

 

[LtMikePowelll]

I have no trouble killing people in air superiority but people are forgetting about the objective blimps. Also, spam space bar work if there is no jets, as it will put you in the first thing pop up.
