[QUOTE=Anven11;49727601]Time zones and ping.[/QUOTE] Anven11, what's your role at dice btw? Went there yesterday to talk to someone at frostbite regarding a master thesis

[QUOTE=Anglor;49727720]Anven11, what's your role at dice btw? Went there yesterday to talk to someone at frostbite regarding a master thesis[/QUOTE] I'm a programming intern. I'm accompanying another student and helping him with his master thesis. I basically only do the fun stuff and don't have to write a 40 page paper about it. And I'm working for a game team, not the Frostbite team. Those guys are too hardcore for me.

Sorry I'm new to this thread but that's very cool.

[QUOTE=seba079;49705466]Silk Road is too armor-spammy imo, but the layout is 7/10. That's basically how I see most BF4 maps though[/QUOTE] I like that Silk Road actually feels big enough to warrant all those vehicles. I'm fine with vehicle heavy maps as long as they make sense. Most of the vanilla BF4 maps just pack too many vehicles into tiny spaces and it becomes annoying having to play engineer to feel like you can get anything done.

They were massive, but with 64 players and all the vehicles I felt it had the same sort of feeling as a normal Battlefield map with only 32 players because of the larger size giving more space for everything to spread out.

I had a pretty obscene match earlier: [t]http://i.imgur.com/0qmNQws.png[/t] I tried to adjust my monitor to be slightly further away and more at eye level. I don't know if it's placebo it it seems like I was hitting most of my marks today.

Dat skill increase... I always get like +7 from likewise matches. Pure BS :[

I wish less servers had DMR restrictions; I need to click heads, stop banning me for it :c

[QUOTE=seba079;49739034]I wish less servers had DMR restrictions; I need to click heads, stop banning me for it :c[/QUOTE] Are you playing hardcore. Because otherwise the DMRs are pretty trash.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49743972]Are you playing hardcore. Because otherwise the DMRs are pretty trash.[/QUOTE] DMRs are pretty good in regular servers though. They're not god tier, but medium range engagements are their strong suit. At the very least, DMRs are entirely more useful than sniper rifles in normal mode.

I wouldn't have an issue with DMRs if LMGs didn't do everything they do but better in every single way. More ammo, faster rate of fire, still great in close quarters and one LMG in particular has the fastest muzzle velocity out of any main gun in the game (700m/s).

Type88 mai waifu Snipers are altogether useless because of scope glare and suppression mechanics.

unlocked the deagle finally so much easier to headshot when there's just people standing still in a domination game below you guess my next assignment is to rank 100 [t]https://jii.moe/4ksaon55e.png[/t]

So, I keep having glitches with those two buildings in Zavod, mostly graphical stuff like floating clutter, but now one of them decided to just fuck off somewhere. [t]http://i.imgur.com/6EBujMg.jpg[/t]

I was wondering when you were gonna post that. Anyway, I need to renew my CC subscription but I need to borrow my brother's account for that since he hasn't yet taken advantage of the student discount. Only issue is, I won't have the money for at least another week so there's gonna be a significant hiatus.

I had a 4 year license through school that expired last year december. I haven't had access to any of the Adobe products, since. I had the CS5 suite :( On a side-note. I really like my intro fading into the footage. I used to have it completely separate + its own music, but I feel like this is way more "mature". Such a simple change. Based [B]BlueDrake42[/B] recommended me to do this

I'm on the fence about having any intro at all.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49747326]I'm on the fence about having any intro at all.[/QUOTE] Whuuut, why? I made my own intro so im pretty proud of it (It's completely made in SVP due to me losing AE lol) But, a short nice intro sort of adds this "flair" to videos imho

I think most people do it because it's the "standard" thing to do.

Yeah, I can see that. I for one really like it :D [video=youtube;lwksSJIhB8A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwksSJIhB8A[/video] Chat is always so much fun

You should consider using canister shell. [editline]15th February 2016[/editline] Wait, I think I've already suggested that haven't I.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49747876]You should consider using canister shell. [editline]15th February 2016[/editline] Wait, I think I've already suggested that haven't I.[/QUOTE] Yep! I really don't like it, because I am an agressive tanker. I like to get in close enough to mow infi down as I'm pretty accurate (I could upload the rest of the round, hacusations were literally FLOWING in chat). I like the HMG for infi / light armored vehicles and I use cover / retreat when going against another MBT or IFV. I usually immediately retreat (as I've now got Thermal Coating instead of Reactive Armor) so I have the immediate edge on my opponent. I even combine it sometimes, Spot enemy tank, Throw down smoke around me Drive in / out of smoke firing shots at the huge red mark above him It usually lands me 1 or 2 shots in which I just rush him, let him shoot me once (so he's confident he'll shoot again) and then when he's going to fire his next shell (I've already memorized the intervals between the shots) I active APS and mow him down :D

Canister shell is still hella useful even if you're aggressive. It counters peeking which is the bane of tanks. The only downside is that you can't suppress with it but on the other hand if you hit all your marks the enemy literally has no time to react. It's a gamble to trade thermal coating for reactive armor as you'll be more prone to disabling shots but if the whole enemy team is using lock-on weapons it can be useful. When you say "throw down smoke", do you mean you're using thermal smoke?

so Im new to the game, what should I use for tank secondary and primary? Ive unlocked almost all of it.

I once picked off a low-hp jet with just a few HMG shots :D And with smoke I mean the soldier smoke. The 3 smoke-nades. I use ONLY smoke nades since the zavod shift patch. Smoke blocks IR which not only goes well with my thermal coating but also ensured my repper / gunner wont get sniped I am trying proximity scan, too. I just need to find someone who's reliable, has good gunner acc and most of all ... DOESNT live on the otherside of the globe and is able to play with me on times im online xD [QUOTE=Firetornado;49748498]so Im new to the game, what should I use for tank secondary and primary?

It made me such a strong tanker, I can go head to head with BCL players now.

If you like to shred light-armored/aerial vehicles then you've missed the memo that canister shells do an absurd amount of damage to them. You can one-shot any light-armored vehicle with the canister shell if they're close enough. Yes, that includes the MRAP and all air vehicles except the transport chopper. I've shot down my share of choppers and jets with the canister shell. If they've nerfed the canister shell, I've honestly haven't felt the impact. For instance, check out [URL="https://youtu.be/-97IczSxZlw?t=172"]this shot[/URL] or [URL="https://youtu.be/3X0WimVDpdY?t=354"]this shot[/URL], both made with the canister shell.

Also are there any dice servers for this game?? I can only find and connect to community servers and there arent that many, most are 247 with weird mods. :-/ [editline]15th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=LoNer1;49748724]Canister got HEAVY nerfs.
