Do I just keep happening to use them against shitty players or are the AK5C and .338 Recon REALLY good?
I like domination. Its intense while also not being as straining on the computer. The only problem is teammates who have only one speed. Go. I mean, we could win if we locked down two points, but that's too boring. Let's just run in circles as the other team re-caps everything we just captured.

AK5C caused my KD to pretty much double as soon as I got it and my friend just can't stop praising the .338. So I think it's both, since I'm generally not goot at Battlefield-games. :v:
Guys real quick here are some things that help improved BF4 performance/gameplay immensely for myself:
-Limiting FPS to 40. (via gametime.maxvariablefps x). - x being the desired framerate
MY FPS would sit at 60 most of the time but still fluctuate from ~45-60 in periods of intense firefights. Limiting the FPS means its buttery smooth constant all the time. What many people don't realise is that a high, yet constant FPS at (for example) 40, is much smoother than a fluctating FPS of say 50-60. NB This works with VSYNC on (Don't know why tho!)
-Only playing on 48player or less servers.
For some reason (maybe its only cause i have 4GB RAM) this also made a huge difference to both FPS and server lag. (However this mostly fixed server lag for me)
-Hardcore servers.
Maybe its my imagination, but the hitbox registration and netcode? seem to be many times better on hardcore servers for myself. Other players on the servers have expressed similar observations so maybe give it a try (if not briefly to see if it makes any difference)
-Not going too far out on the visual settings.
Obviously this is a major factor. The game looks excellent at 1080p medium settings FXAA, and for me - slightly lower draw distance (for instance) is a well worth compromise in order to receive consistently stable FPS

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment I shit my pants.
Oh god, that fov.
Are you playing Quake or what?
[QUOTE=Hammer7;42753367]Oh god, that fov.

Oooh, that... The FOV was 120 at the moment but I quickly noticed how bad it was so I switched to 90.
105 fov works great for me on an 24 inch.
[QUOTE=Leintharien;42752840]I know the pain with the ac-130 and little bird not doing enough damage, but I can guarantee that if the other guy uses it, I'll be dead in seconds.
The boat miniguns tear it up, though. I feel as though they are better AA over the Tunguska.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, the miniguns are powerful when actually used.
Mostly the people i have with me on the attack boat is just standing there like a retard and doesn't shoot the vehicles or people right in front of them. Then a littlebird swoops over and kills us in seconds.
When looking at the sniper rifle charts the srr, m98b, jng, sv98 and so on are actually not made for long range sniping (well the m98b is with its 650ms bullet speed, downside is the 9m/s bullet drop)
rather the scout elite or the hard to unlock (fy something) one are long range snipers. In hardcore only tho, according to charts the scout elite or fy wont kill on headshot at a certain distance because it only does 86 damage then. Well I play hardcore only and people have 60 health there so its okay.

Shotguns actually feel a bit better than Bf3, especcially range wise.
It's all about playing to your weapons strengths, shotguns typically don't do well on huge open fields compared to LMGS and snipers. If you wanna excel with it, get into some close quarters and flank everything.

lol I know how to use them. They're just inconsistent as fuck.
so after unlocking the m416, it feels like theres no lag at all and i can finally hit shit. is this weird or something?
maybe thats why so many people are calling it an overpowered piece of shit.
Oh wow, got to over 3k points purely by spotting and targeting as Recon on Dawnbreaker Rush. Feels good, yo.

The most overpowered weapon in the game once you place silencer on it. It's so powerfull it makes server shit the pants.
This game was rushed through QA department.
Any time I'm doing good in a game it crashes, any time I'm not doing good it doesn't:suicide:
I just played 2 matches on hardcore and it's the most fun I've had so far.
*sigh* for fuck sakes.
Was playing some GTA Online but I thought 'servers probably patched by now, the crash/rubber banding may be fixed'
I fire up BF4 to be greeted with a great bug which means I have no game sounds whatsoever...ah fuck this
To bad that the m16a3 is gone now i need to find a new gun to bitch about.
[QUOTE=MaximumDeer;42752673]Is it just me, or are the shotguns complete asscheeks in this game?[/QUOTE]
Slugs, they suck so much right now, they are heavily nerfed down the ground.
In BF3 slugs were fine. Like one shot one kill in a radius of 15m. Now you need to shoot twice for a confirmed kill when up close.
Oh, and they are also nerfed down the pumping animation so you shoot slow as hell too.
Dice should fix this asap.

Bitch about AK-12 and M416. AK fires faster when set on burst while having zero recoil, and M416 is just too good.

Dunno what you guys are on about, I'm wrecking shit with the first shotgun unlock especially in CQC

effective yeah right, it took me 3 full 25mm bursts to NOT disable enemy lav. and then he took me out with a fucking machine gun, what is this shit dice[/QUOTE]
The normal miniguns dont even damage armor iirc

They "fixed" the AK-12. It now fires at the same rate of fire on burst as it does on full auto, which is kind of funny considering the 1000rpm burst is something that the real gun is specifically designed to do.

With 00 buckshot? Try 12G Slugs.

Pfhaha, I should've guessed that DICE would "fix" it like that. Should've added recoil, damn it, why would anyone use burst mode now?
Finally beat the singleplayer, what a disappointing ending. Compounded by the fact that [sp]you have to do the final mission 3 times to get multiplayer unlocks. It's better than grinding coop missions but the least they could have done was a checkpoint before the boat part[/sp]
Of course, there's also a downside to hardcore... Playing rush, I just rolled into the enemy base with a truck, killed 2 enemies, armed A, killed 2 more... and was then gunned down by a teammate fucking around in a little bird.
