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

[QUOTE=Daemon White;48675554]Spotting is useful in hardcore. Opening the map with M will show where people are spotting and shooting. Mav + Mortar in hardcore obliterates everything as well. Listening to your surroundings in close quarters helps a lot with knowing where your enemy is coming from as well. Sure, you die quicker, but it helps reinforce smarter play and a little more teamwork imo. You can't be a lone-wolf sneakyman as easy as it is in standard mode.[/QUOTE] I spot just for the points in h/c

Waiting on that server hotfix for all the crap dusting.

I hate Zavod Shift

Unfortunately, Asia still has a hate boner for anything that isn't CQ Large or Dawnbreaker/Golmud, so I still haven't tried out the new Zavod Shift map :poot:

It honestly makes the whole divisions thing 100% useless. Like, I've been able to get 1400ppm by abusing double XP weekends and 200% boosters. I'm now max level after just 400 hours. Props if you were able to do this without boosters, though.

Does anyone else have problems with the plug in less launcher? If you have a different tab open when the game is supposed to launch, the game will launch but then close. It leaves a message saying waiting for game to exit. Only when I have battle log open when the game launches will it launch correctly.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;48685920]I've never used a booster feels cheap[/QUOTE] They're meant to speed up the progress... also why not? Double XP weekend + 200% is shit tons of xp.

[QUOTE=coverop;48686222]They're meant to speed up the progress... also why not? Double XP weekend + 200% is shit tons of xp.[/QUOTE] Up until now i've been saving my boosters :v: I've got quite a few 200% ones, loads of 100% and a shitton of 50 and 25. I've used the 50 a few times, but I forget to refresh them. Too busy actually playing the game lol

I have been 140 for like 400 hours lol. I have about 30 200% boosts, 40 100%, 100+ 50%/25%, etc. It makes me angry.

[QUOTE=Scratch.;48685920]I've never used a booster feels cheap[/QUOTE] You have more self-control than I do.

Every time I start up the game I just completely forget to use a booster. I keep forgetting they even exist.

[QUOTE=WolfeClaw;48687002]Every time I start up the game I just completely forget to use a booster. I keep forgetting they even exist.[/QUOTE] Most of the time I will do really good and then remember that If I pop a booster I will be rolling in XP, so I pop one and proceed to play like garbage.

[QUOTE=assassin_Raptor;48690240]Most of the time I will do really good and then remember that If I pop a booster I will be rolling in XP, so I pop one and proceed to play like garbage.[/QUOTE] Ah, yes. The careful balance of not jinxing yourself. You'll overcome it if you keep trying.

Oh hey look content: [video=youtube;eA1lya8_n_Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA1lya8_n_Y[/video] [editline]21st September 2015[/editline] Have to keep this one unlisted because the new fucking shadowplay update added an overlay you have to manually disable. Ruined like 3 good clips.

After having played BF4 on the PS4 for a fair amount of time, seeing the FoV like that looks horribly stretched, I don't think I could get used to it like that, it's really weird.

UTS 15 destroys

Go watch Battlenonsense's latest video on the Fall Patch. - C4 got a big nerf, reduce time for supply pack, less damage, needs 3-4 to kill vehicles (assuming 4 is amtrack). DICE is trying to piss off people with this one. They said vehicles are "too easy" to destroy, yeah, if the vehicle driver is a noob. Good tank/lav strafers have no problem owning C4 artist like myself. - no more shooting IGLAs and Stingers from choppers - mortar time reduced to 15 seconds (from 30 seconds). There you go DICE, enhance mortar in spawn activity. - no more shooting through helicopter/jet glass. So you can no longer try to pick people off using a sniper flying around OR unload an LMG if they try to hover and kill you. Again, DICE is just trying to piss people off with this. They didn't comment on how horrible the blast shield is (much stronger than helicopter glass) and bullets go through that like jello. And many other things.

Also they increased Stinger damage to do 55 damage which is just pure lol

I really want to see how the Stinger changes work out, I may be fine with it now that below radar is back and countermeasures are faster. -Edit- Just found out that Stingers/Igla are immune to below radar, so yeah, lol

I think DICE LA has some kind of grudge against vehicles because as much as I personally think that getting killed by vehicles are annoying, these kind of changes, especially that tank movement accuracy change, are just fucking overkill.

It's completely ridiculous how powerful a scout helicopter with 2 engineers can get. I don't think they need to disable the RPG and SMAW though, because those you at least have to aim. He [I]specifically[/I] said in the video that it's only temporary that LMGs and sniper rifles can't shoot through the glass. The intent is for them to be bulletproof against light weapons like assault rifles, carbines, etc. [QUOTE=Derp123213;48733855]I think DICE LA has some kind of grudge against vehicles because as much as I personally think that getting killed by vehicles are annoying, these kind of changes, especially that tank movement accuracy change, are just fucking overkill.[/QUOTE] The only direct vehicle buff is the C4 thing, which I also think is silly, and that's coming from a vehicle whore. There's no good reason for C4 to be weaker against vehicles. I think most of the vehicle changes are good. They're trying to make it so there isn't one objectively best tank loadout anymore and give you reasons to take other weapons/perks instead of AP/HMG/Reactive. Honestly with the exception of a few odd choices like the C4, most of the stuff in the video was good news to me. I think what needs to change the most in regards to vehicles is reducing the number of them. There's just too many of them on the field, especially in the vanilla maps. The later DLC maps are much better about this with there rarely being more than 1 tank/LAV, if at all, on a map, and instead most of the vehicles just being transports. I'm not sure what you mean by tank movement accuracy change.

[video=youtube;Hzm5HDZbtkg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzm5HDZbtkg[/video] He's an asshole, but I laughed with tears at these clips. His laugh makes everything A-O-K. I died at 5:07 lmaoooooo, his laugh

Wait, how exactly is Xfactor an asshole?

Ive owned Xfactor so much in games before. He plays nothing but lockers.

He's not the best but he does a lot of informative videos.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;48735986]He's not the best but he does a lot of informative videos.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I don't mind him. I like Battlenonsense and Miomoti more.
