[QUOTE=JoonazL;43606674]did you miss the point where the origin download was slowed down by steam downloading whatever the fuck[/QUOTE]
I paused the other service's download when testing
Still that's a FUCKING HUGE difference, Origin in incapable of using more than 10% of my bandwidth
I'm guessing their S. America servers are trash

I don't even know what the hell is up with Origin, sometimes it downloads twice my max dl speed and other times it downloads at 50kb/s
It's fun to shot people with .44 Magnum on servers where you can use ONLY PISTOLS.
Headshot from that beauty is instakill. I've manage to master it, but damn.
It's one of the toughest pistols to master.
So, where is Second Assault?
I saw videos of it like, months ago.

i'm assuming this month or next, but then again DLC was halted for fixes.

Second Assault is already done though, it's almost like someone forgot to hit the launch button for every other platform that isn't Xbone. It should have been released in December.
One of my friends was over the other day and was playing bf4 on my pc, just watching him play and watching my FPS counter go from 150fps down to 50 randomly and at times hitting 20 just made me still not want to play this game.
Are they actually going to optimize it at anypoint? I have a 770 phantom for fuck sakes, having almost 100fps in a drop of frames is ridiculous. I'm still not running it on ultra because fuck that unless stutter is something you enjoy.
It's a real shame Dice and EA are so intertwined. I think if EA didn't rush them, BF4 could've been amazing with barely any flaws but no, now we have to rely on patches which imo dice is the worst at doing.
So long as the vanilla maps take fucking ages to load to end up on a shit team and the game still has crazy frame drop, i'm staying away.

[sp]use mexican origin or an external key selling site, it's something like $25-30[/sp][/QUOTE]
that's absolutely retarded. that's almost as much as the actual game. the second map pack is just a bunch of old maps too which is even more stupid.
i don't even want to support this by using an external key site.
Is anyone else getting this error?
ERROR
Game disconnected: could not join server.
I've only been able to join 1 game today.
Well I bought Premium for $35 through GMG (coupon code 1WDO6K-KWDFJQ-U1E7AI).
[editline]20th January 2014[/editline]
I can't equip any of the premium stuff? Like knives or the camos. Also it doesn't give you the previous gold battlepacks that were given to premium players before each month.
Maps that should never be used for Rush: Siege of Shanghai
Seriously, why the fucking didn't DICE just make it so it's an out-of-combat area to be on the roofs? People just camp up there, and farm kills, and likewise, most of the roofs overlook spawn areas.

There's a glitch with the installer where it doesn't install the directx files properly, it's fixed by going into the game files and running the directx.exe file. It causes really weird framerate fluctuations. After doing that, I went from having 15-40 fps to about 35-50.

You have to wait as the battlepacks are distributed over time. To actually get all the premium content takes quite a while.
So, is there a BF4 group for FP? I wouldn't mind trying some squad-level tactics with people.
Ugh, for the life of me I can't find any decent East-Coast server right now, everything's empty.
I know it's super late but I just want to play some conquest.

I went to an external key site and got premium for £25..
When I logged on I had like 20 Battlepacks to open..
Don't know what's going on with you guys but I had no problems like this..

We can't do anything about that, sadly
The SKS is unbelievably shitty. Seriously, it's so shit it's not even funny. I looked forward to unlocking it but I wonder why anyone would move from the MKII or the RFB to that.
I really wish there were more European maps.
Like, Harvest Day or something.

no it's not, if you think SKS is shit then good luck playing with other DMRs lol

The SKS is actually one of the more enjoyable DMRs, since it does what it's supposed to - it's great at <medium ranges and not-totally-shit at CQB, since you can spray like it's no tomorrow. Then you get the other DMRs which have a [i]tiny[/i] increase in damage and [i]negligible[/i] increase in accuracy and are meant to be used at longer ranges and welcome to funville population every gun but the DMRs.

The nerf to DMRs from BF3 to BF4 was wholly unwarranted. It's not like they were extraordinary to begin with in BF3 but at least they were useful in their own niche. Now guns like the SCAR-H do everything DMRs do but with no downsides at all.
This game still gets me fuming sometimes.
In one match I witnessed a grenade go off in a guys face and not do any damage.
Point blank shot to the head with the Sar-21 that only did about 60 damage.
Last of all taking damage and subsequently dying when already a good 3-4 metres around a corner..

Every DMR is good at CQB if you can aim.

Was the grenade a mini, impact or default? Only the default grenade can one-shot at full health. Edit: I just realised you said it didn't do any damage. Probably has to do with the health indicator bug.
If you only got one shot off, a headshot with the SAR-21 would do a maximum of 50 damage. If you got more shots off on your screen but didn't trade the game probably retconned your previous shots because you were already "dead" according to the server when you made those shots so it ignored them.
The last one is a combination of the less-than-optimized netcode, latency, client-side hitreg and non-hitscan weaponry.
Not trying to justify anything, just explaining what probably occurred.

but the 2 shot kills are so fast that I can pull them off faster than they kill me with their carbinesa
as in one to the head one anywhere

But no DMRs in BF4 can 2 shot unless you headshot once. All DMRs are 3 shots to the body and there's already full auto weapons that do that too. You MIGHT do well with a DMRs but it's like using a pistol as a primary: you can do well if you're skilled enough but you're intentionally handicapping yourself.
