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

Well, you know, except for the fact your rank is 100% meaningless

 

[DeadFred]

Meaningless yes, but I get a little obsessive compulsive about things hanging out there taunting me daily on battlelog. LOL

 

[CropDuster]

I actually avoid playing on double xp weekend because I don't like ranking up so fast. It's lame when you're the same rank forever once you reach the General stars.

 

[Midwayman]

Guess it's a good thing i have been hoarding my xp boosts, i have a collection of 89 of these things so far. I have only used a xp boost once since i started playing this game and currently i am rank 72.

Hell i just opened 22 battlepacks,these things are beyond silly.Like opening up grandmothers suitcases lol.

XP is XP. Might as well use the 200% on the double XP weekends and get as many battlepacks as you can.

 

[Midwayman]

These ranks are getting ridiculous, takes forever to move up a rank after getting to 120.

Its only marginally worse than 110-120. However you're in the prestige ranks. They're trying to make it something the really hard core have to grind on.

Well yesterday I was called a "fucking idiot" for attacking an attack boat with the Little Bird by some douche who randomly joined my squad and spawned on me. :\

Yeah i got like 4 of the 200% so perhaps on the next double xp i could use those. Pistol only Locker is a gold mine for xp, add in double xp then the 200% and wow.:awe:

No, conquest or domination is where the points are. I believe at one time I had over 200k in a bad round.

Once every few weeks I reinstal BF4 to try it out to see if things have improved any. Each time the game seems to run even worse and is even laggier than the last time. With the new maps my SLI GTX 680 rig has to play at all minimum graphics settings and I still don't get reliable frame rates. FPS jumps from 120 to 25 in some places. Netcode is even more awful then it was last time too somehow. That's with network updates on high. I just don't understand how this game turned out to be so perpetually shitty lol.

 

[duragezic]

I'm liking the CZ-75.

I started with the P226, then after 100 kills went to Compact 45 for another 100. All 3 seem like good options to me.

Not sure I could deal with the low round count of the big mammajammas. I'd like to try the "Deagle" but I haven't even made progress to get the Unica.

Something is definitely wrong with your system, it's run like butter on my 670 SLI machine since day one and the netcode has been fixed for a good while now.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Haven't had any performance or fps issues here with this game, but i do run a stock clocked system with all power saving functions disabled so basically got a i7 3770 sitting at 3.7Ghz and a gtx770 at 1163 core in any of my games.

Getting the unica was way harder than the deagle. Eventually got the clan together and had a big pistol water battle one night. Deagle was easy. Find a pistol server and aim high.

 

[Phanuel]

Getting the unica took 2 rounds of trying on sunken temple and that awful garden map just. Getting the deagle took 4 rounds, mainly done in the last round on a pistol only server. The 20 headshots are much harder than getting 5 swimming kills.

 

[TheNiceGuy]

Is there a way to set all the TV guided missiles and RC aircraft to move the same way with the mouse? I just unlocked suav, mcav, and started using more guided stuff. it's all over the shop.

If you find it let me know, this drives me bonkers too. IMO, they should all move the same way as your chopper controls, but OH NO, that would be too simple. :twisted:

Yeah man, my 690 has no problem with it at 2560x1440. I just have the AA turned down. Your two 680's should not be doing that.

 

[moonbogg]

Getting constant crashes lately. Started happening after that latest map pack release. Was very stable before. "BF4 has stopped working". Anyone else?

Get the"Game disconnected,something went wrong" once in a while which closes my games which is new since that patch.

Nope

 

[CropDuster]

Anybody had issues with not being able to join a certain server? My game crashed on one of my favorites the other night and since then I've been unable to join it again. Battlelog gives me the error pop up. I've reinstalled BL, repaired game through origin. Nothing has worked so far. Any other server works fine...

Nope. Still don't know. Keep missing targets.

I don't think I've had this on BF4, but I think I had it in BF3. I want to say there is some type of server list in a folder under your BF4 folder.

 

[CropDuster]

Apparently TG banned me again and that's why I can't join lulz...

You get banned from TG a lot?
Don't go play on Odin servers then. I lasted all of 1 round before getting banned...
