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

[QUOTE=Pandamox;47840765]So with the new update suppression works when no bullets hit the person and you completely miss, but once you start hitting the person it stops working. Not to mention the hilariously bad balancing with the new weapons, probably the worst balanced newly released weapons in BF4s history. Shit like this makes me lose hope for Battlefront[/QUOTE] From what I understood about supression, is that it only effectively works at longer distances depending on the weapon.

[QUOTE=Derp123213;47842514]Speaking of this patch, what do you guy's think of it? I've seen people praising it for trying to make players use more varied weapons while others say it changed the balance too much to the point it felt a whole new game altogether. I personally think this patch is p good, shotguns getting their well deserved buff, snipers actually requiring you to headshot and the nerfs/buffs to existing weapons encourage people to use other weapons, reducing the amount of AK5C/ACE23 spam we've seen pre-patch.[/QUOTE] I think its fantastic. The game feels great and it's more balanced than ever. What really caught me by surprise was the indirect buff to low ROF weapons that turns them into actually viable tradeoffs rather than fun guns. I don't really have any issues with the patch. It's great all around and a huge improvement. [editline]31st May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Tuskin;47840771]DICE LA did the new stuff in BF4. They're not working on Battlefront. Battlefront AFAIK is being made by the main studio is Sweden.[/QUOTE] This is actually why I'm worried about Battlefront. I'm sure it'll be at least okay, but I'm fully expecting it to be a mess that doesn't play too well.

Has anyone ever actually completed the BF4 campaign? I've tried to at various points over the past four or so months I've had the game, but my progress always gets reset. On a side note, I've started playing again with the new update. I'm really enjoying it, it feels more playable than it did When I last played it.

This new update has royally screwed me in every way possible. Everyone and their grandmother one shots me with any gun at any distance and I need to empty an entire clip to even take off half their health no matter what I try using.

Hot damn, the amount of flashbangs appearing after this patch has gone off the roof. Fuck M320 LVG spam on Locker, its flashbang bloom spam now. Also, anyone ever tried flashing a chopper? I remember a teammate of mine flashing one and the pilot panicked and flipped the whole thing over :v:

[QUOTE=freaka;47840635]I really want to plyay PR, but everytime I try to install it it keeps saying that Core.DLL and Core.DLL_R cant be installed due to "access denied". Any help?[/QUOTE] Looks like it's a fault of random AV removing said files, thinking those are viruses (they're not, its a heuristic signature fail): [URL="http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-pr-bf2-support/134911-error-when-installing-new-pr-1-3-patch.html"]Example in point[/URL] Do a fresh 1.3 install, delete/uninstall the old content. Do it via the 1.3 iso file, not upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3. It works for me, but I use Kaspersky Internet Security, not some sucky AV.

I know when I'm off my mark, but like getting one hit killed by LMGs at sniper range is ridiculous. 2- Haven't checked ping to be honest. Only time I noticed a laggy server was when one guy was glitching out through the building at objective D in Langcang Dam. 3- My is fine and dandy, my PC is well capable at handling the game. 4- I don't have a go to server.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;47851486]are you using war tapes?[/QUOTE] Of course, it'd be stupid not to

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;47851486]are you using war tapes?[/QUOTE] War Tapes are the ONLY way to play it.

[QUOTE=Araknid;47851541]Of course, it'd be stupid not to[/QUOTE] I forgot how awesome they were. I haven't used them in a long while, felt like my gunshots weren't loud enough

I'm convinced that IFVs are way more fun than tanks TOWs are fun as fuck to use and effective especially if you have a gunner with soflam and you're still really effective against infantry.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;47851934]no man the zuni[/QUOTE] The thing with TOW is you have a higher burst damage potential, so if you are a ninja IFV player, getting on the ass of an enemy MBT and placing there one TOW generates plentiful of golden tears. With zuni, he can activate active protection before you unload all of 'em. Anyway, when talking about vehicles. I really do think they should get rid of freaking active protection bullshit or make other defensive perks actually USEFUL. Right now APS is so much better than any other perk you can take. If airborne vehicles could take it instead of flares or ECM, they would do it without any further thought. By the way, defensive perk for infantry should be gone too, fuck that shit and fuck it being default so every newbie have it on.

[QUOTE=coverop;47851559]War Tapes are the ONLY way to play it.[/QUOTE] I forgot that was a thing.

Is there a Facepunch Platoon for Hardline? [B]EDIT: [/B]oh i joined it now

BF4: FLIR war simulator

[QUOTE=coverop;47851559]War Tapes are the ONLY way to play it.[/QUOTE] Never used them in 344 hours of play. Maybe I should try 'em.

Does BF4 still have a good playerbase on PC, Or did everyone switch to hardline?

Pretty much no one plays hardline on PC, BF4 is still very active.

BF4 for is pretty much now the "Default" Battlefield game.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;47858119]BF4 for is pretty much now the "Default" Battlefield game.[/QUOTE]Yeah, just like bf2 was. People were still playing bf2 when bc2 was almost dead.

Jet pilots, especially the pros, are the most angriest and conceited vehicle players you'll ever meet. I'm not excluded either lol.

Flashbangs need a nerf imo. Just completely fucks everyone

Hmmm, time to start using flashbangs while they're fun then. :v:

Flashbangs are quite ridiculous at the moment, those things are nuclear. I know they were weak before, but right now, if one goes off near you it's like you're looking at the sun with a telescope

Yeah flashes atm are pretty damn ridiculous, you can just dunk one into the basement of Zavod and it's a guarantee than you'll be able to kill everyone inside. Not to mention that you can blind whole tanks and choppers with them. Also, is it possible to unbind the button to decline the option of being revived? The amount of times the game thought that I was pressing M2 when I was pressing space is really starting to get to me.
