[QUOTE=zeldar;45533853]I disagree. The abundance of weapons and equipment is one of its main weaknesses because of balancing issues, so many of them being useless and whatnot. It has more well-designed maps than BF3 as well as more meaningful destruction imo.[/QUOTE]
I agree. in bf4, on most vanilla maps, almost all the buildings can be destroyed save 1 or 2 larger structures. hell, the A/B area on Golmud usually ends up looking like how Arica harbor did after a match.
How long do you usualy wait for keys from g2play.net?
Ordered Dragon Teeth 2 hours ago there, still waiting. Got 2nd Assault pretty fast back in March.
Or is it just me so impatient?
nvm, got it.
OH BOYS. I CAVED AND BOUGHT BOTH DRAGONS TEETH AND NAVAL STRIKE
I AM READY TO KILL SOME SHIT AGAIN.
why the fuck do a majority of servers not have ping caps? i'm getting incredibly annoyed of the combination of shit netcode and people with 150-200+ ping making the game nearly unplayable with all of the kill trades and ridiculous kills. ping was better than that when i was playing CS over 10 years ago yet now over half of the people in servers labelled "WEST COAST NA" have 150+ ping

I find on PC it doesn't matter what someone elses ping is. We played round after round with someone at 600 ping and I never lagged at all, it was only once it switched to Golmud Railway where everyone rubber banded (Because it was bugged at the time) then they started blaming him.

You need to hold your aim on the target.
Can anyone explain this? I checked on my 1911 because new stuff was available, and apparently I got a scope for the pistol, but it says "Only available for the developers of BF4" in the description, and I never even used the gun, or got it in a battlepack. I have no idea why I got it.

They unlocked the 3x scope for everyone(I think) on the M1911 a while ago under some special event or so.

Yeah Unlocked 7 months ago as a part of a [I]"Player Appreciation Program".[/I]

iirc only DICE devs can use the ballistic scope on non snipers, but due to a bug everyone got it for the M1911

150-200 ping isnt bad at all. Of course it could be a lot better, but its not exactly bad. People with 400+ pings are the ones you gotta watch out for

Because they reverted the netcode improvements, something that isn't getting nearly enough attention.
To answer your question about ping caps, probably because server owners don't want to limit their possible population. I know I wouldn't run a cap.

Starsiege Tribes, an infinitely more complex version of Battlefield 4 supporting more players and literally infinite maps, had better hit detection than the last 5 Battlefield games.

What's this about the netcode being reverted? That's the first I hear of that.
Tribes had better netcode and hit detection than every Battlefield game ever made, but that's not saying much considering Battlefield netcode has never been good, only acceptable at best. Tribes 1 and 2 could do 128 player servers easy. I don't know what black magic goes on inside of Tribes, but it's always been the gold standard that nobody has ever been able to reach again.

[QUOTE=Why485;45543847]What's this about the netcode being reverted? That's the first I hear of that.[/QUOTE]
It's mostly anecdotal right now except for the part that the high frequency setting doesn't actually do anything. People noticed it a few days after Dragon Teeth came out. Personally the game went from pretty decent right back to pre-netcode changes of constant trades and dying well behind cover.
[QUOTE=Why485;45543847]I don't know what black magic goes on inside of Tribes[/QUOTE]
Back then developers actually cared about responsiveness and making sure your bullets worked in a game about shooting bullets at people took precedent over gimmicks like destruction, DLC, camo patterns, and arbitrary deadlines and obese marketing budgets pushed by publishers.
[QUOTE=Ferosso;45543864]Ohhh alright.

It has made every other pistol in the game obsolete.
[QUOTE=Ferosso;45543864]Ohhh alright.

It's the best weapon to use in short, medium, and long range.
[QUOTE=Ferosso;45543864]On another note; how is everyone liking the Deagle?[/QUOTE]
It needs a lot more recoil.
So the problem with hitting people retardely close range with a centre mass 3 round burst is still an issue. I also just got kicked out of a server for asking a squad mate to give me some backup/cover...
I also noticed the first Bolt Action rifle you get, the bullets travel STUPIDLY slow...what's up with that?

Tribes is also considerably older than BF4, coming out in 1998 when a lot of people still didn't have broadband internet. Wow did that game run well.
It's kind of funny because one of the selling points on the box goes something like this: "seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor environments". All I can say is lol 1998 gaming. But seriously I still have the CD + manual, kept them all this time because I loved that game. I hope someone can produce a modern game that feels as good as that one did, the F2P Tribes games missed the point entirely and basically became Section 8 with more jetpacking.

Ascend had so much promise and they threw it all away. The really sad thing about T:A was that in the early beta days it was damn near everything people wanted in a Tribes game: Spinfusors, capture the flag, skiing, skillful combat, and [VGS]. It was fun. It was [I]popular[/I]. People were saying how this was going to be the return of fast paced skill shooters but as time went on Hi-Rez pushed it further and further away from what it was supposed to be, into a generic and loosely Tribes inspired shooter. It's such a shame.

To say something actually on topic, I really wish BF4 had a quick comms system like Tribes. 1942 and Vietnam had something vaguely similar and it was really fun and helpful.
I've decided to open up some battlepacks and

wooo
and everyone being mean to me because I uninstall :c
lol got banned on no explosive server for killing with m67 grenade. First of all, i got RGO Impact equiped. Second, i never throw grenades on such servers.
I guess i sniped a guy who was about to throw his M67 and it landed near his teammates and i scored both kills. Result - ban for 1 day and Ballistic Shield for Support.
tl;dr: Unlocked Ballistic Shield, because ive killed 2 guys with enemy M67 grenade on no explosive server.

A 150ms - 200ms delay, on top of my ping (Which usually sits around 50-80ms depending on the server), also on top of some shitty hit detection. ~250-300ms delays with shitty hit detection makes firefights with those people a laggy, inconsistent mess. In order to get 150ms - 200ms you have to either have an awful internet connection and be playing from east to west coast, or be playing on an NA server while you're living in central europe. unless you're running on google fiber, playing on servers outside of your continent just makes it a shitty experience for the people trying to kill you. maybe in 5-10 years time we can actually have some cross-continent play that isn't a laggy mess but since i've been gaming it's never been possible and it still isn't

You can also get x3 scope on Magnum if you have veteran status and you get Veteran battlepack.

though magnum is worse in 4 than in 3 so I don't even use Magnum anymore. Only Rex or M1911 or G18.
I'm about to play for some hours. First time playing Naval Strike/Dragons Teeth.

Yeah it's pretty shitty but not as bad as the killjoy assignment, at-least for me. Took me like 20 rounds to get that "[I]Win a round of Chainlink with 50 tickets left[/I]" shit. The firestorm shit took just a couple of rounds.
Now all I need is the Phantom Initiate password so I can get the last assignment... again.
