All new Naval Strike weapons in action.

As if there isnt enough grenade launchers, know their adding a 3 round burst one.Jesus Metro will be even more or a mess

Mad_Dave

Have to say the game is dead for me after this patch, can't muster up the enthusiasm to finish a single round anymore. Infantry play is a joke right now, helicopters a waste of time and if I want to do nothing but drive tanks I'll play World of Tanks which is much more fun.
Really hope this gets sorted ASAP, but at this stage I've lost all faith.

SW40 - Semi-auto pistol with .357 Magnum ammunition
Unlocked via 'Curve Ball' assignment
- Get 10 kills with an Impact Grenade

Technically, it's a revolver ("semi-auto" tends to refer to pistols that use the recoil or gas from firing the last round to load the next, while revolvers use the force on the trigger pull to do the rotation of the cylinder before the round fires - which isn't just academic, it's why DICE put in the delay between mouse-click and pistol firing).

Also, it's a really nifty revolver, it's the Rhino:



It's interesting because it's one of the very few revolvers in the world where the bullet that's firing comes from the bottom cylinder (at the six-o-clock position) rather than the top cylinder (at the twelve-o-clock position), which means that the recoil comes straight back down the line of your wrist and arm, which makes it more manageable (other revolvers rotate your wrist more because the force of the recoil isn't lined up with your wrist) and therefore more accurate. They tried it once in the Olympics, for example, with a semi-auto pistol whose workings were mounted upside-down (so the magazine went in the top):



It was so accurate they banned it after that olympic games as being an unfair advantage.

All of which is saying DICE should have made this the most accurate of all the pistols, including the semi-autos, with the lowest recoil of all the pistols. I've had it unlocked in the game for all of 20 minutes, but I'm taking it to a pistols-only server to check that out...

OK, weird goings on at the moment playing BF4 on PC.

Randomly, it will my character will go prone, or will prone, stand up and prone again. After it happens I can't sprint until I press ESC and then go back to the game. Then it will happen again randomly.

I changed the key binding from V to P and it still happened. Then I removed the binding all-together and it would crouch randomly instead. Then I removed the binding for crouch and it would prone again randomly! There's nothing in the toggle crouch/prone either.

It was happening on the both servers I was on and with different classes and weapons. Anyone got any ideas?

If he's signed into Chrome a complete reinstall will do absolutely nothing, that sounds like he's having issues with the Battlelog addon for Chrome. Reset chrome to default settings and reinstall the addon.

This is brilliant, I must try it...

Damn game sucked me back in, has to be the most frustrating and one of the most fun games I've ever owned.

Unlocked the M60 by chance last night, not an LMG user, the only other one I have is the U-100 and I've used that just enough to know that I'll never use it again.

Anyway, gave the M60 a whirl for a round, it's ok, but managed to unlock the AWS with it.

Oh man, dat AWS...seriously, it was love at first kill, that thing is awesome ! Judging by the number of other people using it as well I'm not alone in that opinion. Hopefully doesn't get a nerf when NS launches.

how did you unlock it if the NS maps arent out? Can you unlock it on other maps? I thought you had to unlock it on NS maps only...must give it a go later

The assignments were added in-game last week by the patch, add added to Battlelog this morning. Only one requires NS, the sniper one with 5 C4 kills.

Gave the AWS a run as I didn't know I'd unlocked it and it's very good, fast firing, accurate and recoil feels manageable even with sod all attachments.

How can you judge a whole collection of guns (LMGs) by just one gun (U-100)? Dont get that?

Not a big LMG fan but I roll when them the odd time and the PKP and MG4 are very good guns

The U-100 is about number 5-6 on my list. It's got a low rate of fire ok but very little recoil. Used it a lot at the beginning but don't use LMGs a lot.

LMGs never appeal to me in any shooter tbh, they just don't tend to fit my preferred playstyle. Yes there's some good guns in there (like the ones you've mentioned), but I'd have to grind up to them using weapons that I don't enjoy, and I don't spend that many hours playing.

LMGs are pretty much useless when you're moving, good for situations when you're defending something .

Completely disagree. You can run and gun with them just as much as any other weapon. The M60 for example, has a slow rate of fire, but hits like a truck. PKP and M240B are great for mid range, MG4 and M249 will put most people down quickly due to their high rof.

I think most people struggle with recoil control, but tap firing and short bursts you'll kill more enemies than will kill you.

Also muzzle brake with stubby grip help the recoil a lot.

M60 is serious though, low ROF so feck all recoil but fires the 7.62 round so big stopping power, it's been my go to LMG in battlefield.

I remember clearing many a hallway or room with it in BF3. Extended mag, walk in the door and keep on the trigger til everything is dead.

I took inspiration from a previous post and pulled out the EOD bot

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/32/443851596128161344/278703154/

Very funny, 20-0 K/D, SPM of 393 (not too bad for EOD bot) and 17 EOD bot kills.

Love Metro now... sad eh?

gimli2112

Tried to do that EOD thing on Metro last weekend. Set up the class. Went into Metro and game kicked me into Firestorm. Didn't work so well there.:) Must give it a go on Metro though.

For anyone who has yet to unlock the GOL Magnum sniper rifle here are some tips:

1) Go to the Firestorm tower (the Caspian Border one will frustrate you as far too many players will disturb you by blowing it up mid-way).

2) Choose Support Class. You'll need three things - Ammo Pack, Claymores and an LMG you feel most comfortable with (preferably something you have a decent scope for).

3) Climb the tower ladder - best if you're on the RU side. Only climb to the first level - no need to go up more as it will only become more difficult. Drop a claymore at the top of the ladder. If any enemy tries to climb up they'll be taken out and it will also count towards your tower kills. Throw down your ammo bag to replenish your claymores and continue putting them down at the top of the ladder. In the meantime, pick away at infantry with your LMG.

4) Once you have your tower kills racked up, change to Recon Class. You'll need the Recon Ribbon so find a decent spot on the map that will see a lot of infantry running through. I particularly like the warehouse rooftops.

In no time you'll have the GOL Magnum unlocked. Hope this helps....a little challenge to try tonight.

Back in BF3 I joined a bunch of the lads on Firestorm while they were trying to get longest headshots. I'm terrible at snipers so after dying a while I got bored and drove a EOD bot the length of the map (took ages) and repaired two of them

Or:

Play Caspian on Rush, 6 kills from the tower with a sniper rifle = Assignment complete
