[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;43619868]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.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]as in one to the head one anywhere[/QUOTE]
But yeah I personally find the extra range to be worth it; I use them to shoot long distances like across the dish on Rogue Transmission. I find I can't do that as well with guns other than sniper rifles and machine guns.

i like pixel hunting dont judge me!!
LMGs are the best sniper rifles, just line up the solid line of tracers with the enemy c:
Also I started using the M240/PKP some time back, holy shit the 4-hit-kill at long ranges feels good

What the fuck did Dice fuck up SO BAD that this happens? I NEVER had this problem in BF3 and now it's happening more than succesful joins.
In fact, I can never succesfully join on the first try.
I didn't mind battlelog in BF3 but god damn is it getting on my nerves now.
I've been trying to unlock the DMRs but i'm having a nightmarish time getting through the first two. It feels like half the time i'm just shooting blanks, I thought it was just my aim at first but after recording and looking through some footage, my bullets are definitely passing straight through enemies. When I do make a hit there's this huge delay between hitting the enemy (flinch animation) and getting any registered damage. I've had moments where I wail on somebody at mid range, have them run away and past cover, only to get a hitmarker a full second later as they drop dead behind something. My internet's not great but literally no other weapon does this. What gives?

Happening for me aswell.
This shit is getting really annoying.
Also, continuing my rant, spawning on squadmates should really NOT have a spawn protection.
It's hella annoying to flank a guy and totally have him but OH WAIT he quadrupled into 3 extra invincible dudes who you can't shoot before a timer is up.

I unlocked most of the DMRs with the Mk11. It's great with an angled grip, maybe heavy barrel if you're feeling adventurous. The most important thing about all DMRs (well, maybe all but the SKS) is you can't shoot as quickly as the gun allows you to. Give the gun time to rest, then fire another round. Start out firing very slowly, then increase the firing speed until you get a good feel for the spread of the gun. Also for some reason leading your target is more important that with other guns. DMRs are terrible weapons if you're just beginning to use them, but if you're patient and take the time to learn them then they become not at all half-bad.
[QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;43612227]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.[/QUOTE]
You should add me on Steam/Origin and we figure this shit out
As a guy with DMR's as my favorite weapons class, you should go with 1x sight of your liking, magnifier, heavy barrel and angled grip.

I just unlocked the RDS for the MOD, now i'm melting people effortlessly for some reason. So I suppose that's the key? I also noticed that the bullets have almost no drop despite appearing to travel really slowly, which is probably why I kept missing at long range
I keep playing BF but I don't know why, I'm always very angry while playing it because of having my screen covered in particle effects

Never had that happen to me. I've usually been killed on spawn when I do that. Spawn i- *crack!* dead.
Some sort of zombie mod server out there now

I'm getting this too. Joining friends is actually proving to be impossible. Joining through a squad or through the friend list gives me this error, but going to the page for the server they're on allows me to join.
How the fuck do they manage to make this bullshit happen?
[editline]22nd January 2014[/editline]
I can't believe the game is still as broken as it is, it's been out for ages.

Not being able to join isn't even the worst thing. The worst thing is that it doesn't tell you ANYTHING about why.
The fact that it's so vague seems to be intentional. They did change the "Connection to server timed out" from BF3 to "Something went wrong" for BF4 whatsoever...
I get "Game Disconnected: Could not join server" on like half of the servers.

Second part of the Phantom Project thing?
Also, Phantom Prospect is a pain to get - I'm totally crap in conquest games so I barely bother with vehicles.
Apart from when I unlocked everything for the jets after playing only 2-3 games of Air Superiority.

During the black screen your character is an invincible bullet shield for anyone else. You can actually move during this screen too, you just can't see anything.
Okay this zombie thing is fun! More people come on!

[QUOTE=Tuskin;43630597]Because, I don't know... You're having fun?[/QUOTE]
That's the weirdest definition of fun I've ever heard.
I'd call it more like an addiction.
Me and a friend have tried to play for atleast 20 minutes, fucking battlelog shit
I read a bit on the forums and apparently "could not join server" is caused by battlelog not updating it's player counts and letting your client launch when the server is full. gj dice
why dont they add parties like in call of duty
Is it just me or do people's back hitboxes block their head in BF3? I've had multiple instances where I've shot someone standing completely still in the back of the head with an M16 burst and they survived.
EDIT: anyone want to medic train in bf3
[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;43630540]Active Radar: One of the most annoying things in BF3 made into a weapon.[/QUOTE]
Yup, if you fly low and a active missile get you you are likely to crash, plus if you turn its nearly guaranteed. If they dont cause any critical damage, or just sometime, it would be much more balanced.
