There is no kill feed, But I wonder if the guy saying "AHHA WOW" was the guy he shot. [editline]13th May 2015[/editline] Huh, console players are getting their own CTE client.

Thanks for the tip, subbed.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;47714488]Don't think that many people have BF3 installed, unfortunately.[/QUOTE] I would say there are quite a lot of active players with installed BF3 and playing it, way more than BF Hardline BUT, no DLC servers are active (and theres almost no DLCs servers neither) so you might have a hard time getting those weapons assignments in case some didnt unlock them all

I know a guy or two were wondering about my playstyle, so the other day a captured a few rounds and I got a pretty nice match. I think this video is a pretty good representation of an average round for me, and a pretty good representation of Battlefield 4 as a whole. It involves adversity, funny deaths, pointless struggles, glorious kit-switching, missile-dodging, combined-arms warfare, tactics, salty tears, hard-earned kill-streaks, shit-talking, cheesing-it, IFVs overcoming MBTs, assisting suicides, long-range marksmanship, short-range brawling, flanking, rushing, jumping, multi-tasking, and how losing doesn't mean you can't have fun. Available in glorious Full HD @ 60FPS: [video=youtube;rWs6PxV0ZpA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWs6PxV0ZpA[/video]

Is it worth picking up the DLC for Battlefield 4 now? I was watching an Angry Joe review on Hardline and he said that BF4 + DLC is worth way more than getting Hardline, and I already have BF4.

They have some of my favorite maps insofar.

Far fewer players than BF4, and at some points even BF3 has more players.

Then I got hardline and suddenly I stopped playing at 40 hours in. Its to much of the same with less stuff in it. Dont get me wrong I love infantry focused combat and I thought id get more out of this but I can see for many BF players they arent going to stick around with hardline. It just isnt what the series needed now. Im back in BF4.

Neat! [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/364dhv/new_in_cte_bf4_audio_obstruction_system/[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kaYec34gog[/media] DICE LA is making a lot of quality of life improvements.

Far fewer players than BF4, and at some points even BF3 has more players.[/QUOTE] I just think Hardline plays way better than 3 or 4. 4 especially just has way too much shit that makes it completely not fun for me. That and the campaign was surprisingly decent except for the flaccid ending. Despite initial prejudices against it, I'm actually a bit sad that it's not doing as well. One of the battlefest community missions (make 100,000 repairs or whatever) wasn't even completed, and I don't think that's ever happened with a community mission before. However, it's completely fair to say that Hardline just isn't a very good deal compared to BF4+Premium when it comes to content. Part of the problem is evidently that it's a victim of EA's price gouging, since everyone will rightly say "BF4 is a better deal at the moment" right now.

[del]Picked up BF4 premium, outstandingly worth it because of the discount that came up recently.[/del] Premium is great a discount, but I still get an awful amount of lag, making pretty much any encounter a loss. And this is on low-ping (30 and below) servers. As for the issue with Hardline, I think there just wasn't enough content at launch to justify a $60 release, especially because it reused a lot of BF4 assets with different textures, and if anything decreased the amount of content that came with BF4 since there a lot of vehicles were scrapped to fit the "lore". Granted I only watched the Angry Joe review and read some others, but it sounds like that's pretty much the case.

I just wish they imported one or two features from hardline like the conquest UI which shows capture zones.

I have a mate who swears by AJ and won't touch a game that hes reviewed badly. I like Angry Joe but, I prefer to make my own judgments on games. Hotwire and Bloodmoney are immensely fun. 4/5 of the guys I play BF4 with bought Hardline and have no regrets. $60 bucks was a bit much, but I've already got my money back in fun.

I hope that some day, teamwork will be added to BFH and BF4.

[QUOTE=Benx303;47748658]I hope that some day, teamwork will be added to BFH and BF4.[/QUOTE] To be honest, BF4 and Hardline give the biggest reward for teamwork of all Battlefield games.

I was thinking with both Hardline and BF4 this thread would be a lot more active, but I guess not. [vid]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40739406/trees.webmhd.webm[/vid] Still hopeful the classic remake is a BF2 or BC2 map.

Rejoice, BF2 Project Reality fan-base: [URL="http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-pr-bf2-general-discussion/134703-where-do-you-get-battlefield-2-now-4.html"]BF2:PR is going standalone[/URL] Hooooaaaahhh!

Double XP started today lasting until the 24th for BF4 and Hardline. Time to use up some boosters

Noticing an absurd amount of people strafing left and right when shot at and it's starting to piss me off. It literally does not do a damn thing other than fuck with your accuracy and make you look retarded when you're gunned down instantly.

Even more justified with a good hipfire weapon like the PDWs. Otherwise, at long distances, you're right.

Just quoting this from the Project Reality thread since I know it's gonna die again within 2 weeks anyway: [QUOTE=Morbo!!!;47762893]Bump. Version 1.3's on the horizon, and with it many changes. Off the top of my head, they're making it completely standalone from BF2, increasing asset respawn timers and I think there's a few new maps or something. Once the changelog's fully visible and I've had a couple rounds of it, I'll be updating the OP somewhat. For now, the preview [video=youtube;VqLqlK1swUE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqLqlK1swUE[/video][/QUOTE]

So I come back after 3 months to BF4 and every server I join is a unbalanced shithole where a team fucks the other. Didn't change at all, gonna uninstall this waste of space.

Is BF4 more stable? The last time I "played" it crashed a lot.

[QUOTE=Eldariub;47770726]Is BF4 more stable? The last time I "played" it crashed a lot.[/QUOTE] Pretty damn stable now, never gotten any crashes since December.

[QUOTE=Swineflu;47770284]So I come back after 3 months to BF4 and every server I join is a unbalanced shithole where a team fucks the other. Didn't change at all, gonna uninstall this waste of space.[/QUOTE] Isn't skill-based team balancer coming in Tuesday's patch? Would be a real waste if it does and you uninstall.

[QUOTE=Amfleet;47771609]Isn't skill-based team balancer coming in Tuesday's patch? Would be a real waste if it does and you uninstall.[/QUOTE] That's news to me but my God if they do that, it works, and it's the default then that would be incredible. I try to find servers with strict autobalancers because a lot of the best games I've played in Battlefield were on servers like that.

[QUOTE=Amfleet;47771609]Isn't skill-based team balancer coming in Tuesday's patch? Would be a real waste if it does and you uninstall.[/QUOTE] Well thanks to you I didn't uninstall it for now. All I ask for is fun matches where you won't get spawn-camped. I'm sure it's not too much to ask for.
