I'm not usually one for multiplayer FPS games, but I'm finding the lack of any kind of skill/level based match making incredibly frustrating, not much fun being thrown into games with hardened veterans who are level 30+ with all the best scopes and gear unlocked, very off putting for a new comer and really hampers you getting leveled up with it being so weighed in favor these guys, not their fault they do and should play the game as it's presented but very unfair towards a newbie

The starting guns you get in BF4 are capable of taking out guys quite easily...compared to most games, when you have to unlock the better guns.0 -

You know what the absolute worst part of battlefield 4 is?
Without any doubt?
It's stupid timewasting vehicle wasting yahoo morons who join your squad with an M40 on maps like flood while the two engineers in the whole team get repeatedly chewed up while taking on the armour that's killing everyone. If pig-blind idiots actually changed class and tactics once in a while in response to the game, there would be far less precious gaming time urinated away by these spectacular wastes of cpu cycles! Now I know why Dice included incendiary and hand lamp grenades in the loadout - to mark teammates who have decided that the best way to help is to spawn with a sniper rifle and spend the game lying down in a corner praying someone stands in front of them stock still for the few minutes it'll take them to react the right way.
RANT! !!

Love them happy hour videos 0 -
Compared to most of the players I'd see on gaellords, celts, or any of the other servers I've been on since it came out, they're well above average.They are average man, i dont know who you play with if you think they are above average.
Mind you, I usually play late at night, so maybe all the really good people have early bedtimes

Yea, I gotta chime in and say that the starting weapons are really solid and I've never felt "out armed" in game (out classed frequently, but that's my problem, not the gun's). Which is not to say that I haven't started a map and realised I've picked the wrong weapons entirely, that not always obvious though. Remember kids, Carbines ain't worth sht at a distance

Without a doubt. Younger people are playing these games now, and more people are coming from other FPS games such as COD...
Argh!

(Besides, if a few more people moved in BF4, it'd be better than the campfest some levels can turn into! ) 0 -
Neither's C4, but there's something oh-so-satisfying about C4ing the same person in the same AA vehicle in the same CN base on the same Zavod map two or three times in a row until they actually get up and moveRemember kids, Carbines ain't worth sht at a distance
(Its even funnier if you didn't at first realise it was their base for whatever reason until you ran off the battle area but still made it to them in time to C4 them ) 0 -

Ah right, thanks for that sparks.
I've been known to run up to people and reload in their face, hate it when that happens
Anyway back on topic, I've noticed I get fairly frequent massive ping spikes on some servers. Generally getting around 20ms (on ps3 btw), but it jumps to anywhere between 150 and 300. There's no slowdown on screen, except only 1 in 4 or 5 shots register. Extremely annoying.
Hopefully the new patch will sort it out.0 -
Will say this though, if you're going to do long range with carbines, the AK5C is a better choice than the ACW-R. The ACW only wins over the 5C because of its rate of fire, for accuracy and range and not having to lead so much, the 5C wins out. I might have to change my carbine for the open maps now
BTW, does anyone else wish that you could have canted optics and normal iron sights? Sticking an ACOG on a carbine along with the canted irons makes for a bit of an awkward mix 0 -

You just go have a cuppa and then it goes back to the main menu, you chose to replay the last level and then go have another cuppa and then you go back and do it the final time and that's all three of them done. But really, only the M249 is worth getting...
And which do you go with to get that?
Actually what's the third option?You've the choice of two at the end with the C4, what else?0 -

Defibs are pointless now.Nobody revives and why should they? there's no incentive for them to.People/ (idiots) complained about the medic trains in bf3 but at least there was a 100 point incentive for newbies to revive.
Now it just takes a stupid amount of time to get them out only to be awarded with 20 points before you get shot to sh*t along with the lad you just revived because it took over 20 seconds more to perform the revive than in BF3.

Plus when you are revived you have only 20 health so the medic has to drop a health pack as well. Its a slow process, I try to revive especially on Operation Locker but I wont do it if I'll get killed.0 -

`You should check out world of tanks on twitch tv.
But you play on console dont you? unfair to compare yourself to PC controls.
Yeah I am console... what do you mean by this? Do you mean that when I see what they do I am more amazed cos I would find it so hard on a controller whereas it might be easier on for a PC player to understand? 0 -

=> this is far better like this, slows the game down a little and makes it more tactical. In BF3 you could run in, shoot, get revived, die, shoot, revive, grenade, etc... It was childish and plain right stupid.
Back to the Matimi0, Xfactor, JackFrags, LvlCap chat I am amazed that people think these are average or just above average. For example, I would regularly top the board (okay only 24 on the board on PS3) but my stats are nowhere nears theirs so if they are average, I am really crap, so what the hell are those below me like on the board?
Kinda doesn't make sense.
(for the record I dont think I am great or anything, I would say I am average, can be brilliant, can be poor)0 -
