Battlefield Franchise Megathread V1 - 'Hardline is still DLC' Edition - Games

It depends what game type and map you play on. I used to play TDM Operation Locker all the time, and now since no one runs that anymore I stick to Conquest Operation Metro without explosives. With Metro, I feel that the Russian side always gets B first, but if one team can get far enough past B it's pretty much their win, and I'm not always sure who will win until 2/3 of the match in.

[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] The lack of autobalance most of the time can be frustrating but don't expect too much sympathy with that kind of attitude. Best advice for now is to find a server with a good autobalance plugin. Going on 32 players servers instead of 64 might further be able to alleviate frustration.

Double XP plus +200% XP boost is fucking insane. I went from rank 1 to rank 34 in 9 hours of playtime. Also, I love the 44 magnum.

Haven't played this in a few months because one of the earlier DICE LA patches caused the game to crash 3 minutes into a round; is there any information about this, or am I the only one with this bug?

I haven't played in a couple of months either, but jumping back in it was noticeably more stable. I haven't crashed yet, and I only got any sort of hiccups due to the server getting DDoS'd.

Spring patch is coming this Tuesday!

The Spring Patch is coming the 26 and will include: -5 new weapons (L86, AN94, Mare´s Leg, Groza-1, Groza-4) -New gamemode Gunmaster -New stats for LMG, AR, Carbines and a few others -Massive improvements of the netcode (it will NOT include the 60 and 120hz tickrate, its still WIP, but it will likely come in the near future) It will not include the Night Maps or the CMP due to those being under heavy WIP [editline]23rd May 2015[/editline] The guns will be unlocked automatically, you dont need to do stupid assignments in order to use them

I really hope the netcode improvements will finally stop those bullshit moments where your second Saiga shot doesn't register. Other than that, is this the same patch that'll include the shottie consistency improvements?

"AA Tank" stands for "Anti-Anything Tank": [t]http://i.imgur.com/BPwxXm3.png[/t] [editline]24th May 2015[/editline] Also just played a quick round of Project Reality. Nothing quite as satisfying as popping a clean headshot on an SPG gunner who thinks he's being a cheeky cunt. Like, a half hour round with only 4 kills but damn if each and every single one wasn't super satisfying.

I feel weird for looking forward to the RPK-74 rebalance the most (well, second most aftern etcode changes)

Update is live!

[QUOTE=Derp123213;47806296]Update is live![/QUOTE] just as I have to go out for dinner :v: god damn I hope I won't be long

Bleh, gonna take me 20 minutes to download the update due to Asian internet. Hopefully the numerous shottie changes will help to make them more consistent, but first, I gotta meet up with my favorite, highest-performing rifle in BF3 (not counting M16 since that thing's shit OP), AN-94. Holy shit, I'm so hype :dance:

Time to boogie! ...whenever I come back home how big is the dl

900 mb tops Some peeps are reporting to have up to 4gb, but I think it's on their end.

Jesus Christ, they really did mess with all weapons.

[editline]26th May 2015[/editline] Is there anywhere to find out what the stats mean? What's DOend?

Holy fuck these shottie tweaks are insane.

[B]What's DOend?[/B][/QUOTE] Damage Drop-off limit. Basically the distance after which you will be dealing the lowest damage with that weapon.

What did they change on the Flash Hider? Flashhider: ADSProneBaseSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 Flashhider: ADSStandMoveSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 Flashhider: ADSCrouchMoveSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 Flashhider: ADSStandBaseSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 Flashhider: ADSProneMoveSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 Flashhider: ADSCrouchBaseSpreadDecMod - from 1 to 0.83 EDIT : Looks like recoil decrease got a hit. It'll take longer for your weapon to settle down now if you use the Flash Hider

AN-94 in burst is hilarious ultra quick 2 rounds with no recoil and them pretty much landing on target at the same time

[QUOTE=Araknid;47807244]AN-94 in burst is hilarious ultra quick 2 rounds with no recoil and them pretty much landing on target at the same time[/QUOTE] Which is how it actually works in reality although there should be decent recoil.

[QUOTE=spekter;47807261]Which is how it actually works in reality although there should be decent recoil.[/QUOTE] russian burst-fire space magic makes it so that you only feel one shot's recoil (instead of both)

my god the RPK rebalance its beautiful

So has the rebalance made it so LMG's aren't sniper accurate anymore?
