[QUOTE=Firetornado;49748984]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] Edit: Also is your name the same on battlelog?[/QUOTE] Dont play on official servers. Full of hackers / gametime cheaters. Find a nice community server, trust me. It's that you're located in the US, otherwise my community would welcome you with open arms. My Battlelog is here (and linked in all my vids) [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/ShadeyyyPls/[/url]

Do I accidentally have some strange filter on?? It would be great to find a good community server or a dice server but I cant find either one often.

I have never seen that gamemode being played, it's almost a myth.

Near BF4's release, there was a FP server and we played defuse a few times. It was pretty fun. Only issue is that the Assault class is the only viable class in that mode since you only get one life.

Zavod 311 defuse is so imbalanced too It's T sided as shit

FYI guys, this is the Discord channel we usually use when we play BF4 as a group: [URL="https://discord.gg/0YFlT6nqPS4wM7gE"]https://discord.gg/0YFlT6nqPS4wM7gE[/URL] I've added it to the OP.

Anybody play Hardline? I'm looking for some buddies.

Got some audio desync in the video. But good shot.

I was looking for DLC servers last time Hardline Premium was on sale and at the time there were about 30 players across 4 occupied servers. It's really dire.

There are just as many people (prob more) who think the game was too different from traditional Battlefield games and that's why they didn't like it or buy it. I really liked Hardline. It's a shame it is basically dead.

I've been doing really well in vehicles lately, I especially feel like a God in the IFVs. I never believed I'd enjoy vehicle gameplay in a battlefield game but I think the mechanics of BF4 are pretty spot on. I especially love the slow ammo regeneration, I just wish you could choose what ammo to keep in your ready rack (HEAT, sabot, HE). Getting a friend as a SOFLAM gunner is still ridiculous though.

On the xbox one version of battlefield 4 I was trying to get the la dice camo and when I got the lamp working after the keypad the damn dvr can only be up to 25 seconds plus the Morse code doesn't start til 3 minutes in so basically I wasted my time and get this you can record up to 5 minutes... fucking great, time to waste another hour and a half or two.

Doesn't help that the DICE LA camo still makes you invisible to IRNV and is the only cool-looking camo.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49791066]Doesn't help that the DICE LA camo still makes you invisible to IRNV and is the only cool-looking camo.[/QUOTE] Well, you're not completely invisible, as your face and gun still appear, but yeah. It's way too much work for what amounts to a fucking skin

how is it effort when all the info is readily available? the only annoying part is translating the personal code. and vehicle FLIR is such cancer I'll take all the help I can get, it actually stops you getting sniped from 200m by tanks when hiding in rubble/foliage

[QUOTE=DEMONSKUL;49791160]Well, you're not completely invisible, as your face and gun still appear, but yeah. [/QUOTE] go counter strike mode and run around with that knife out

If hard-line was a dlc it would have been one of the best expansions for a game ever, and it would have worked well.

Ayyy [t]http://i.imgur.com/QVYCBUm.png[/t] Video soon bros

I got the code decoded and had to do it a second time so I am happy now. Hopefully battlefield 5 or whatever the next title is gets made by dice l.a., would be nice to see more easter eggs and passion into the game.

I really do hope they improve on statistical side of the battlefield 5 when it comes out... Seriously, current skill system is broken beyond repairs... What the hell is this? [t]http://i.imgur.com/5YiiuxX.png[/t] I've just finished grinding all Assault rifles to 500, decided to start on Recon's BAs, went with SRR-61, the ba that I have almost never used before (had like 25 kills with it in a total of 710 hours played). Spent half of the round flying MAV around, killed 5 people with Unica, 10 with SRR. Died once... My team won, we were camping their spawn at the end, tons of spotting assists... Yet my skill decreased...what the fuck?

Skill is determined by factoring in everything (SPM, KPM, KD) etc. etc. to the previous amount of skill you've gotten. If the previous >1 then skill will result in a negative value. Seeing as you've "only" got 15 kills in that match, I reckon your KPM was quite low and that resulted in the low SPM / KPM, resulting in negative skill. -- Also, weigh in: [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2979150494255763417/[/url] -- AND VIDEO TIME (Finally, I accidentally rendered 25 min because I had footage on the 24th minute so there was a pause of 22 min of "black screen") [video=youtube;OBIZdoBEgJk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBIZdoBEgJk[/video]

[/QUOTE] Oh, I perfectly know it is based on KPM, SPM and K/D... Nonetheless it doesn't change the fact, that such a system is flawed to begin with. In my opinion each class and each vehicle type should have their own stats (KD, SPM and KPM, maybe ACC too), then we can start comparing how said match compared to your total average, instead of what is currently in. Of course my KPM and KD will be lower when I'm an infantry player compared to some tanking or scout heli piloting. Of course my SPM will be a lot lower when I've just played as a recon compared to assault. That's what I meant, that currently this whole "skill" system has no sense and should be revamped. However I did see some old pics of what they were playing with during CTE phase, back in the summer, it looked promising... dunno what happened to these ideas.

what the fuck is even the point of the skill number? there's no matchmaking on dedicated servers and if you want something to brag about there's already k/d, spm, kpm, win rate etc...

The only true use it has is bragging rights and they use it to assign you to teams (though idk if this is every server).

I'm going 44-19, single-handedly holding a flag from like ten enemies trying to cap it, topping my team's scoreboard, and yet my squad is refusing to follow my orders, telling me that I'm a noob and don't know how to play the game :l What's so hard about going where the minimap tells you to go and getting extra points, I really don't understand.
