Have they fixed the ridiculous bullet spread in BF4? Also have the fixed the bug where people hiding behind railings are invincible to bullets?

There is next to no spread in BF4 if you know how to control the guns. The major issue is that your red dot is not where your bullets go when aiming down the site. The laser dot is where the rounds hit. On some guns when sidestrafing the point of impact can be a half inch away from the red dot on your site. The weapons that have the most deviation also happen to have no recoil whatsoever. The QBZ's are a great example. If you keep the laser dot on target you don't even have to control recoil. All shots hit on the laser. Once you figure this trick out and start focusing on the laser with all guns it's worlds better.

Dust storm is just stupid./

The dust storm is by far the most idiotic thing imaginable. They need to seriously delay it's onset. I could tolerate it on the last set of bombs in rush, and with like 100 tickets left in conquest. Right now it comes in practically right away. Also, watch closely where it comes from. AWFUL lot of dust coming from the ocean? WTF? Should be a mud storm.

Its so thick it, Im not certain that it isnt mud. LOL

If they had made the dust come in much later in the game, or perhaps had it roll in then die down for a while and maybe roll back in again it would be tolerable. I cant stand playing in it as it is.

I kinda gave up after china rising. How is it these guys can sell old maps and think that $20 is a steal?
Hey Chucky have they fixed the flying tanks, or the hacks or the bugs...NO
so why would they fix that?

really they don't fix anything they just sell expansions and people HOPE they can pay more and it will get fixed.

The best part was halting new content until they fix stuff. For some reason that delayed Second Assault, even though it was out forever on the Xbox, but nothing has really been fixed. I really think that they are waiting for people to forgot and never mention bug fixes again.

The only thing that I forgot was the game itself. I've played around 1 hours worth since the middle of December. China Rising sucks for the most part and I'm not that into re-released maps that are 2-3 years old.

I think the dislike for the dust storm is universal and hopefully they will change it. Personally I can't stand it for reasons others have stated. It's also the only map that causes my OC'd 690 to start chugging (when the dust blows in). And it has potential to be a cool map - climbing up some of those buildings took me back to BF2.

Bullet spread is as it should be, no problems there. No bullet deviation like BF3 had.

Railings are still an issue, just as they are in a lot of other games.

There are no flying tanks as others may have you to believe.

Hackers as nearly nonexistent, Ive seen 2 blatant hackers since release day out of all my playing.

Either Ive gotten used to the "netcode" or its been smoothed out because I have little issue with anything other than the really high pingers that screw up my timing and shooting cadence.

IMO if you want to play a current shooter then BF4 is the game. Ghosts sucks, the Titanfall beta sucked, and what else is there?

Another addition to Caspian that I intensely dislike is the Gunship.

It's not Caspian in particular, as I think it is horrible game mechanic on all the maps; as a tanker, it is incredibly frustrating to have to try to combat an enemy from whom I cannot run nor can I target.

Between the Gunship and the Mobile Arty, I don't really understand why DICE has put in two vehicles that do massive amounts of damage while mostly removed from the actual combat taking place at the various different capture points.

Whats a vehicle sniper?

Also, regarding snipers, I wonder if I found a hacker. A friend and I were playing last night and I was doing my best to snipe, and my friend is very good, and this other guy was cutting us down as if neither of us have ever played a video game of any kind. It was like I've never touched a mouse before. The guy was either THAT good, or he was cheating. He has an overall K/D of 4.3. Does that seem strange?
Also, on his a BF4 stats website, it shows his cheat percentage rating at 99%, and mine and my friends cheat percentage is at 0%. I don't know how that is rated, but he has at least one ban, and again, I've been banned before and I don't cheat so that doesn't count as proof.
He knows where you are all the time, OR he is a cyborg and isn't human, OR he is god incarnate, OR the best player of any FPS game in the history of the world IMO. Should I give his name here? I don't think that's allowed.

If it was Sgt Enigma I'd say you just got owned

And vehicle snipers are the twits in tanks who roll up on some remote corner of the map and just spam shells at a point or spawn or something.

Wasn't him. The guy has a medium rank of like 69 right now. It was about 50 just last night if I remember right.

Check that out. He switched teams at the very end for the win. He has a win loss record of like 2.5 or something as far as games won goes. You'll know who it is.

I mean it's the sniper model, in a vehicle. Snipers (generally) engage when their target doesn't know where they are at so they can't engage the sniper. It's the same thing with the rocket vehicle/airship.

If you want to kill a sniper you have to hunt them down, just like rocket vehicle/airship.

This is why you really want the green laser upgrade. It makes differentiating the RDS and the laser aim point a lot easier.

All the mechanics were you feel like you arbitrarily die without having a chance to react suck. That's why pilot whine so much about the ARM. Gunship, arty and TV missile suck as a tanker. Just driving along and boom. As infantry in HC snipers have the same feel since they are OSK anywhere. Just going from cover to cover and boom, dead. Sucks.
