just got the game few days ago, has anyone else has their campaign save deleted for some reason when they turned their xbox on?

Its happened to me twice on my Xbox 360 and twice since I have got my Xbox One. Have given up on the campaign. Can't connect to a single game in multiplayer the last few days either.......

Games have been super over the last week, it's great to finally see a good few boards players getting into the servers. Some of the games have been intense. Lag seems to appear briefly, then disappear.

I played a few rounds of domination with Major Nelson last night. It was a west US server and shockingly enough there was no lag.

Double XP at the moment.

I've had Battlefield 4 for the Xbox One since Christmas day. I think I've played about 7 enjoyable games in that time. I have clocked up 3 hours in gameplay, and I would say about the same waiting in queue's to join a server, it is completely stunning how Dice and EA let this happen.

When I try to join by quick match I get an error message, when I use the server browser it seems the only game mode I really enjoy, Conquest, the bloody flagship gamemode for BF is the only one I can't join, and also, there are no normal servers available, only hardcore servers.

Did the patch do anything or was it actually worse than this before? It's unbearable.

miralize · 04-01-2014 5:39pm

Its actually better I'm afraid. Had a look on their forums, turns out alot of the European servers are in Dallas. Also Ireland players in general have been connected to East US servers as opposed to the ones designated for Europeans

FAILSAFE 00 · 04-01-2014 7:35pm

I just checked battlelog. I have a little over 80 hours played since launch.

This would have been a lot more if there wasn't server issues. I stay well clear of quick match selection due to the horrible servers it places me in.

I use server browser sometimes on the battlelog app. It functions great with the xbox one. You can join a server on the app and then on your xbox you will join the server. I use the game browser also.

I pick European servers and make sure the ping is good. What I have noticed is that lag is more map related rather than server related. The same maps seem to kick up a bit of lag and then in the following map the game may be running perfectly. We normally enter a server and give it a round or 2 to see if the lag subsides.

The best advice I can give you is to team up and search for a server. Trying to lone gun it in battlefield is a miserable experience.

backthephilup · 04-01-2014 11:38pm

Anyone have a list of decent servers? My battlelog doesn't seem to work......
Thanks

I've created a new XBL account, my new GT is Flava Sanchez 9 if anyone would care to add me. Not that it makes any difference because I have only had one game of BF MP since I got it last week.

I'll add the GT's I find in this thread

This is why you shouldn't ditch choppers to get to high spots in BF4.
The chopper may just come back to kill you.

Really enjoying Upload Studio myself, wanted a feature like that for ages.

Didn't even realise I was in your lads server tonight, on the receiving end of a beatdown until I switched teams and then commenced beating down. Good fun!

Yeah some good games tonight alright. I had fun in Shanghai clearing the rooftops of pesky snipers with the little bird. Big thanks to Failsafe for repairing me when some of the buildings crashed into me.

Have really started playing around with Upload Studio, Twitch and YouTube in the last week or so.

Going to try edit together a video of below (from about 50 seconds in) from three different point of views of each player as I reckon could be interesting to look at from point of view of how effective teamwork can be (or not

)

Also done a quick blooper thingy of random sillyness

I was actually thinking of doing one at the weekend but then again I quite like how my beacons go unnoticed for up to 10 minutes at a time even with commander scanning

Id like to keep it that way without becoming an easy knife kill target when i spawn on the beacon

I seem to have an issue adding friends. I've added them all on xbox.com but don't seem to be sending to the people.

On the One or the 360 , if its on the One then they have to follow you as well in order to be friends.

Wooden Jesus · 07-01-2014 3:35pm

There was an element of child on Xmas morning as I opened the stockpile of battlepacks. I've only played operation metro and firestorm maps , both of which I liked. It's a bit early to tell yet though whether or not it's worth it as a whole. One thing worth considering is that bf doesn't come out every year like cod, so theres a better opportunity to get your money's worth imo.

also don't forget as well as battlepacks and monthly xp you also get the rest of the maps for bf4 thinks there's another 3 packs to come

Personally don't think it's worth it.

E50 is a lot for a few maps.

Factor in that China Rising was given to anyone who pre ordered and another one of the 5 is just a rehash of the BF3 maps.

I bought China Rising off some lad on Adverts for E10, I'll probably buy the next one for E15, I know I won't be playing the game by the summer to get the last two.

Shame they charge the price of the game for some map packs. I'd probably pay E30 for the lot, but not interested for E50 when the last ones come out 6-8months after release.
