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

Played on a "pistol & knife only" server last night and it was super fun. No crashes lately.

 

[Anubis]

yea for those that want to unlock things like shipers and pistols, limited wep servers are where its at,
there are a bunch if pistol only ones which are really fun. there are (were) a few Bolt action sniper only servers where i unlocked all of them, and TBH that is fun as hell when everyone is limited to the same weps

 

[TheNiceGuy]

I have no idea how long the sale is on, but figure I should buy it ASAP.
Anyone know if language is default english? The server it's for sale on for 45$ through the game browser is EA Japan. Will it be a japanese language only download?
Thanks

 

[Zargon]

shouldn't matter

 

[LtMikePowelll]

Game's been out for three months and you want a second expansion already? There's plenty of time.

patching is and should remain the priority

more broken maps wont help

Cause I hate time exclusive to a certain gaming flatform.

Not sure on dates but they had a post that basically said they were stopping development on expansions to fix bugs. Since most of the bugs are fixed I expect they have or are about to shift people back.

yeah i also read that,
only problems i face is when I join server my game is stuck on back screen(it comes before loading screen). then game dies :X

On some of the smaller maps with two close flags, is it better to have the sq order as defend or attack when there's a clusterfuck/firefight in the middle of the two objectives? Does one give more point than the other?

I'm mainly talking about the usual dead zone that takes place between B/C or C/D in Locker but I'm sure this applies elsewhere.

I really want to play Gulf of Oman in the sky after the storm has come through...

Any advice on how to get better at flying the heli?

I learned on BF3 co-op and it took me quite a while. I'm still not great, but I'm confident enough to hop in one at any given time.

Test range.

The trick to low DPI flying is binding pitch up to something on the keyboard. I use space bar. That way you can precisely aim and still hold turns indefinitely.

There should be tutorials on youtube but I haven't had a chance to watch any yet.

Other than turning down your mouse sensitivity, it just takes practice.

If the mobile AA and the jets buzzing around have active radar missiles unlocked, then woe unto those who dare enter a helo. I dont care how good you are, on the open maps like Golmud Railway, your life will be short.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Reminds me that active radar missiles are trash. I can't comprehend why they keep putting skill free garbage into their games.

BC2 had it right with the at4 and tracer darts. You had to be good to get hits with those.

Ok, thanks for your help folks. Downloading now. Hope my system works ok with it.

You'll have no problem playing the game on your system. A combination of medium and high settings will probably work best.

 

[Anubis]

oh look shits down again

 

[Teizo]

Yep. Can't connect. Good way to start the New Years for EA and DICE.

 

[GullyFoyle]

Just curious, what tool shows you VRam usage?

 

[Teizo]

You can use EVGA Precision to monitor your VRam usage.

 

[Childs]

You can also use HWINFO.

You can also use HWINFO.

That's a nice program. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[BrightCandle]

GPU-Z does it as well.
