    Almost Rank 20 Platoon lads, great work. Any requests/suggestions for this weekends platoon mission? Who can take Borderfox's tags the most?! ;-)

    Best Squad Score? Seems like it was aimed at cooperating squads anyway

    Speaking of Rush, Ive been playing commander recently trying to get some assignments, and its ridiculous, i can send up a UAV scan and immediately everyone is spotted underneath it and its a very large radius, You can also do an infantry or vehicle scan of the whole map... one of the main reasons i love battlefield is because if you are getting hammered at a certain choke point or base etc, you have the option to flank or choose a different attack point. If you have a half decent commander on the opposing team this severly limits your flanking routes \ options.


    I think they should add a server filter \ option to play on maps without commanders. I also think if they did is it might help a small bit with lag as it will be two less players and less traffic.

    thoughts?


    Myself and Fieldog were playing Rush exclusively early Wednesday afternoon and personally, I thought it was great. Nothing like BF3 but still good nonetheless. Your right about the commander though, we even mentioned it we were playing, the best thing about Rush is flanking wide and surprising the defenders. The best games we had, had 1 thing in common; no commander. Surprise surprise :)
    No other game mode can be so heavily influenced by a single player..........who isn't even on the Battlefield in the first place.

    Yeh, its ridiculous , its ruining Rush and its not needed... The last few days ive been sat on hoop watching the footie whilst casually glancing down at the screen occasionally to play commander on the tablet, . The mad thing is, in a few of the rounds i was playing, i was the MVP for the team i was playing, the points you get in commander are crazy. One of the games i had 15 kills. Here's the report, look at the two highest scoring players on either side...

    Another thing about it, its not even that much fun, its very repitive and fairly boring.

    Agree with both those statements. I've played as commander on Conquest once, twice maybe at most. Hadn't a clue what I was doing, squads rarely accepted any orders let alone actually follow them. Still finished in the top 5 scores though, purely through spot assists etc. Found it very boring after my brief exposure to it and highly doubt I'll ever go back.
    I can only imagine that in the right hands, especially on Rush, Commander is borderline over powered and certainly unbalanced.

    Sounds good Paul. Best Squad Score it is so - Get the highest squad score in a round.

    Gone a wee bit too serious now, was great fun at the start! Private squads and everything now, nothing for the casual fan of the game... Clueless now as to whats going on at this stage :D

    Still blowing **** up but sure there's no harm in a little competition between the platoon members. Been running them for 4 weeks anyway :)

    Isnt that just turning the game into COD?
    The whole reason BF4 is a winner is team work also pays off.. Dunno maybe Im an old fashioned gamer, not as old as Cobra mind :D:D

    Also the fact Im **** at this game :D

    Ssshhhh, you'll get lynched for saying that around here


    The missions are only a laugh between the platoon and they don't handicap your playstyle or anything. Most vehicle kills, most Assault Rifle kills, Best Squad score all help your team in some way. Best Squad score is exactly how it sounds, most points accumulated by helping your squad. Spotting, revives, health and ammo etc. We do that normally when we're on anyway so that's why I suggested that specific mission this week.

    Ah ok now Im understanding, I seemed to have just accidently met ye all on Metro last night so, was about to leave the server and suddenly a bunch of Paddies arrived blazing guns :D

    Can rarely join ye on the same server anymore as it doesnt show up on the multiplayer screen and I cant join via friend list either.. Dont know why


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,282 ✭✭✭paul_booth_fan

    Yeah I noticed that about 2 patches ago I think. I usually go through Battlelog and join from there. That can be iffy sometimes as well though, showing me that someone is online when they're not. Works more often than not though

    Yeh i have that issue aswell, and sometimes battlelog on the playstation itself doesnt work either, i have battlelog on my phone and you can join through that and it seems to be the most stable.

    While we are at it, has anyone had a wierd glitch when spawing into the game the first time you have no primary or sidearm for about 20 seconds..just a blank screen with your hands, all you can offer is moral support. Switcihng to sidearm and back about a dozen times eventually brings your guns up, its soo wierd

    Had it once, happened me before though with Battlefield on the PS3. Around November/December 2012 and it took countless calls and emails to support and about 6 or 7 weeks before it went back to normal. I eventually just put it down to HDD in the Playstation acting up

    You can join us a few ways..

    1. Multiplayer friends servers screen

    mainmenu-618x343.jpg

    mYKtNB7.jpg

    This lists servers we are on, if it has a few of the same names, just message one of us to tell you the server number.

    Or you can usually find us in a party, add us on your PS4.

    2. Battlelog friends list



    This screen refreshes on its own, usually wrong the first time but just toggle L1 and R1 to get it to refresh right, highlight one of us and press Triangle to join us.

    3. Join from Battlelog on your web browser.

    Add us on your EA origin account on http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4

    You can then see us on the top right ..

    You can then click the play button and it will remotely add you to the server from there.

    Yeah thats continually happening to me as well. And switching weapons is the only way to get your primary gun to come up. Its annoying as hell, especially when you spawn in the wrong place at the wrong time!

    On another note I haven't had internet unfortunately since yesterday which is frustrating but hopefully thats fixed by the time i get home later.
    If i am on, I will happily provide all the ammo everyone needs for the Best Squad Score mission....really enjoying using the M249! :D

    Hey dudes, I have applied on Battlelog to joint the platoon.

    Please add me on PSN (although I have some already added). It is KOB79LFC and I am sadly on almost every night

    I haven't really had much chance to just sit down go through it and complete it but I think I have two more vehicles to destroy and the AWS is mine. Looking forward to trying that out now after the impressive M249! :)

    It's a cheap tactic, but a Jihad Jeep really speeds up the assignment. The sheer about of boats on Naval Strike makes it a good place to hunt. Don't forget about those spawn beacons, MAVs and TUGs etc. They all count as vehicles so take em out

    Jesus, I have absolutely no idea what everyone is talking about :D:D

    How about them Yankees this season? :D

    Ha ha, it's Red Sox or nothing.

    Here's one more reason why you should get Naval Strike :D



    Hopefully the link works, I'm very hit or miss with them
