[QUOTE=Destroyox;43671564]Holy shit, DICE is such a fucking joke now. Honestly Battlefield died with 3, the devs working on this classic franchise are to inexperienced or naive to make it right anymore. They're probably also going to fuck up Battlefront =([/QUOTE] Yep, I pretty much feel the same, I hoped for BF3 to be like BF2 but on FrostBite (seeing as I personally found that game to be perfect in almost every way), I was disappointed with the changes they made in the third iteration, although I found them to be completely understandable.
[QUOTE=GhostShoes;43683138]-Heavily Nerf the AA gun and remove like half it's unlocks -Buff Attack Helis back to BF3 flight models, Reduce Flare cooldown or give the ability to hold a set of flares -Get rid of 25mm for Little Bird and go back to 20mm only -Increase Flying Space for Aerial vehicles IMMENSELY, Height/Width (dont get why they changed this??) -Change Camera Angles for Jets back to BF3 and give them a huge increase in Weight and Turn Radius -Give Commander Mode more things to do then just be slightly annoying There, I fixed your game DICE.[/QUOTE] Oh fuck no. Aircraft are OP as shit in BF3 because of people like you. "Oh no, I'm not immortal in my jet, I have to play other parts of the game while I wait for the jets to respawn." It's called Battlefield, not Ace Combat.
[QUOTE=Demopack;43683261]Fix fucking loading times.[/QUOTE] Put BF4 on a solid state drive.
Oh, a simple fix they could do, remove the auto-weapon-swap when empty on launchers. I've missed SO MANY shots on the hold-lock-to-hit launchers (Igla and Javelin) because the game randomly decides to switch to my rifle once I've launched my last missile instead of letting me hold the line of sight.
[QUOTE=Delta616;43683885]Put BF4 on a solid state drive.[/QUOTE] This shouldn't really be necessary though. Obviously SSD drives will deliver faster load times but there is absolutely a problem with the game when, on a standard 7200rpm hard drive, I can't load in fast enough to prevent the first bomb in Obliteration from detonating on some maps.

What changed that warranted the need for three times the load times?

By the time I get in, the match is almost over...
[QUOTE=Raidyr;43685723]This shouldn't really be necessary though.[/quote] I agree, it shouldn't be. But having BF4 on an SSD gives you jaw dropping load times. Operation Locker I load in at 8-12 seconds, any other map less than 30 seconds.

bugs op, plz nerf
They really should drop the Stingers range to something like 250 or 300. [editline]27th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Janus Vesta;43683857]Oh fuck no.

It's called Battlefield, not Ace Combat.[/QUOTE] The Stingers are quiet ridiculous though. Get in the air? Boom dead, even if you are just flying out of spawn. Now you add in the AA Gun and you can't reasonably level up a jet when about 75% of the map is locked down by AA that respawns every 15 seconds. You also have the SRAW now which in the right hands can be just as lethal as the auto-lock on jackassery thats the Stinger and AA Gun.
Nerf the shit out of those god damn scout choppers. The other air units are fine. And don't listen to the retards who want to buff the Attack Boats, play a few games of Paracel and see for yourself whether they need nerfing [sp]they don't[/sp]
They are already apparently nerfing the 25mm cannon on the Scout Copters, but I really don't think thats enough.
don't allow snipers to use aircrafts In-fact, make a pilot class.
What about buffing the durability of tanks a bit? It seems like they die too easily due to the fact that every fucking class has some form of anti-vehicle capability and it doesn't help that there is some weapons that cripple tanks in a single shot. Seriously in BF3, I saw tanks being slaughtered by fucking AAVs, tanks need to be buffed because they're too squishy. And I'm sorry, but a 40mm grenade launcher is not going to be able to inflict serious damage on a T-90, Type 99, or M1A2 from the front, maybe from the rear and on the roof, but not at the front or sides.
I wish that there was more of a focus on helicopter transport over attack helicopters. I want to fly people around the place but it's so hard when you get shot down so fast, but if you didnt get shot down real fast attack choppers would be way too powerful.

Would be good for clearing landing zones.
