[QUOTE=Zar;42696164]Pretty sure that dumbfire means you "fire and forget"[/QUOTE] Dumbfire is no guidance, rocket goes wherever rocket wants to. Strong independant rocket. Fire and forget is guidance but requires lock first, less independant rocket that requires help from it's parents with a kickstart in life. Hold lock missile are the incompetent half-wit brothers of the other rockets. Packs a good punch but you need to help it move and unpack and buy food for a whole year.
For people crashing heres my rig with zero crashing and steady frames GFX: 7970 MSI GHz (OC'd to higher numbers I'm too lazy to pull) CPU: 3820 I7 RAM: 16gb DDR3 OS: Windows 8.1 As I said, No crashing etc. Latest ATi/AMD drivers as well. My friend with his 770 GTX with the latest drivers keeps crashing, And btw if you crash getting a certain amount of points when the round ends the server will submit your points.
So I went from the CSL8 or whatever the beginning sniper rifle is, and am now sitting at the end of the night, 6 hours later 3/4 of the way through the M98B on my path of glory for the SRR-61. Goodnight Facepunch

There's no point in spending 30 minutes on a map just to crash for seemingly no reason and lose all the points

If you reconnect you will start at 0 but the server should send the prior amount you had. My friend with his 770 kept crashing and gave up, At the end of the round he ranked up even though he didn't even get to finish one match.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;42696205]I do like how they didn't go super into the whole war breaking out and just focused on the main characters unlike where every game has to explain EVERYTHING going on.[/QUOTE] Ugh how's that good though. Devs failed to explain what are you actually doing. Some Chang guy (what a creative name) wants to... do something. He wants some other guy killed. For some reason. Somehow he got the upper hand. Something happens somewhere. Somehow Russians are involved. [sp]Somehow we're preventing a war, despite that fact that it rages everywhere already, and we take active part in it. Then you kill Chang guy. You don't even see him. Then "the end", no closure. Entire ending has this "yeah we're done" slapped across it[/sp] I'm not questioning your experience. Just... how is that good, I'm not even sure why I took everything above in spoiler - it's not like there's something in this game's plot that is somehow cannot be predicted after the first mission. This game's singleplayer component took it's laughable excuse of a "story" way, way, waaaay too seriously.

[/QUOTE] Apparently there's also the kind that you just dumbfire, which then automatically lock on to any vehicle they get close to. Kind of like aim assist for rockets. Expect rage.

[QUOTE=CubeManv2;42696205]Beat the single player campaign, I liked it, Enough to probably play it again in the future. Some of the enemy waves felt kinda tedious but I really wanted to keep developing the story. I do like how they didn't go super into the whole war breaking out and just focused on the main characters unlike where every game has to explain EVERYTHING going on.[/QUOTE] There's so little intrigue going on that what you're told may as well be the whole story of why war were declared. The only thing the Battlelog post about the story really leaves out is who's involved other than Admiral Chang. Have to admit, the first mission of the campaign surprised me once it gets to the construction yard. There are some good ideas that deserve expanding upon (squad control, loadouts, acquiring vehicles on site, open layout maps) for once. It plays out like the lead designer discovered Bad Company 1, but designed large parts to play like something out of Medal of Honour Warfighter just to be on the safe (and utterly dull) side.
Just finished the campaign boy the ending was disappointing.
Was playing a conquest round for around a half hour, got a few unlocks then BAM. Host closed the server due to lag. Lost everything :(. Do you only get your awards/unlocks if the round finishes?
Just a warning to everyone, don't order BF4 from intkeys.com they were supposed to start sending out codes about two days ago. I ordered mine yesterday and I still do not have my code after 23 hours. Their 3 hour average delivery is a joke. All other key sites I ever used have sent out keys almost instantly. Last time I used them it took forever as well. I mean they don't rip you off but there are way better sites with the same price who are much faster. Just a little heads up.

First part of the mission gives you a lot of freedom, there's no invisible walls there! I liked it, wish the whole game was like that - there's your objective, here's your starting point... now go reach your point. How you do it - up to you, we don't care, have as much fun as you want. I went over the wooden fence to appear above enemies. I could totally do that, despite that part being obstructed by that fence from both ends - just jump around a bit. That part, sadly, but predictably, showed why that wasn't legitimate way intended by DICE - poor AI squadmates, unable to follow me, gone apeshit and ran all the way to the start of the level.
[QUOTE=Pandamox;42696118]Much less ammo. If you're planning on getting more than 1 kill at a time / having any ammo leftover incase someone runs around a corner, the SCAR-H isn't as good as the AK12. Also, if you reload with ammo still in your magazine it's gone forever. So with the SCAR-H you're basically constantly stuck with very little ammo in your magazine unless you want to discard magazines, in which case you'll run through all of your ammo in only a few reloads[/QUOTE] SCAR-H is 2 hit kill to the head no matter the distance, as it's lowest damage is 25 at furthest range. It's the new G3, 34 max 25 min.
[QUOTE=cra0kalo;42697011]Just finished the campaign boy the ending was disappointing.[/QUOTE] I've been sitting through the credits to see something more. Because maaan not even the worst games can end like that. I wasted my time listening to THE SAME *fart fart BRZZZZZUP BRZZZZUP* TUNE looping. Turned out it really was "we got tired an lost all interest, so here, have this". [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] nooo muh automerge
Final mission [sp]I couldn't decide at the end, so instead the Valkyrie blew up.. whoops.[/sp]
The M249 wrecks so much, I always found that gun to be completely useless in BF3 but now, just feels good.
[QUOTE=WaffleCopter;42697394]The M249 wrecks so much, I always found that gun to be completely useless in BF3 but now, just feels good.[/QUOTE] Useless? :v: why?
m249 was my best weapon in BF3 for a very long time, only the AS-VAL beat it after a while
big patch for the game at like 677MB. maybe some kind of optimization? [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] YESS LITERALLY NO STUDDERING, THANK YOU DICE BASED GODS
Fantastic. Apparently EA 'refunded' my copy of BF4 and Premium on Monday but gave me €0 back for them, without my permission. How do I contact EA support because their help page is fucking useless.

[QUOTE=asXas;42693072]Yes, there is hardcore. Full server filters: [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/XmeqKp.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Those filters don't work 90% of the time. Battlelog is the worst server browser I've ever had to use. I would rather use Gamespy again. Not a browser powered by Gamespy. I mean Gamespy Arcade. Pick Infantry Only and just hit server info on all the servers that come up: Vehicle: Yes. Not just transport ones, but tanks and LAV's. The only ones that work reliably are the gamemode ones
What graphics settings have the most effect on framerate? I need to make this bitch stop dropping below 30fps

I have a small question about rank resets. Yesterday, I've seen some European/UK based streamers losing their rank while playing BF4 using random VPNs. They lost rank (back to 1) when bf4.exe crashed. Does this happen often? My game preloaded fine and I'm ready to VPN dat shit. But I don't want to play sp/mp just to find all my unlocked stuff gone. Any takes?

[editline]30th October 2013[/editline] Shadows and AA I think.[/QUOTE] i was playing at 9:30 last night and it ran like shit. i just got back from work at 7am and it runs perfectly after a huge update.
Is it out only in US/RU? It's not yet out in UK, or in India or somewhere where I can buy cheaper? [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] I will get money hopefully today and would like to buy it as cheap as 30pounds max. [editline]30th October 2013[/editline] Don't really want to buy from russian retailer to play the game fully russian localized again.
