    Battlefield is the First time ever playing any sort of game like this so learning every day basically..

    You just gotta place it on the ground and that's it. Quick tip though, you always spawn aiming 90° to the LEFT when you use the beacon. So let's say you put the beacon down while looking North, you spawn looking West. Bear this in mind If you're planning on using it to get to roof tops

    Most the good weapons take a little while to unlock.

    Guns like the Ace, Sar, Mk mod etc come out around rank 20-25

    You can enable XP boosts to rank faster and unlock lots.

    This is player appreciation month so you will get a free battle pack each day you play that might have some of the guns.

    You should also focus on one class at a time and build it up then move to another.

    Really depends on your set up,though i think the best balanced gun in the game is the sar-21,once you get it set up its a good gun,i think its the gun with the least amount of recoil

    dont feel too rush to get rid of the ak 12 with the muzzle break and angled grip its a beast especially in operation locker

    Yeah i can see that sometimes myself,when i was on the china rising maps i didn`t see my emblem at all,but on the likes of conquest i did,but not on all guns.

    M416 is a great gun. You get it very early, and it's easy to use. The SAR-21s rate of fire is just too low for me, and as long as you tap fire, recoil isn't really a issue so you may as well go for the quicker firing guns. M416 also has a great reload time


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 489 ✭✭BordorFox


    I like the Sar and the AK 12 but the two ACE guns are quite powerful also.

    Not to mention you're more likely to kill the opponent with them than a rpg in the face it seems lol

    feck you and your bloody boats cobraeire lol ;)

    Its alright i got his tags last night!

    Some great matches over the last few days lads, really enjoying the game now since they have fixed most of the bugs that were ruining the game, its still not perfect but its getting better. At least now it feels somewhat balanced whereas before it was very frustrating, still get the odd hiccup here and the 0% health kill is probably my major gripe but the game is ruining a lot smoother and feels more balanced. Its also cool to see the server half filled with IRL tags.

    For those newcomers such as Marky who are finding it hard to learn some of the aspects of the games, there are some brilliant BF4 channels out there where you can get excellent tips and hints at how to play the game and make you a much better player,even their videos on Bf3 are useful. Xfactorgaming and Levelcap are probably the two best known, but there are tons of other channels. Xfactor has some excellent videos on how to use tanks and vehicles correctly and Levelcap is brilliant for reviewing each and every gun and telling you what ones to use and what setup to run with. If you watch their vids and try to put into practise what they teach you will improve no end.

    One of my favourite youtubers is JackFrags He has a great little series called !Do you know Battlefield"







  • Registered Users Posts: 533 ✭✭✭cobraeire


    Good man ally, I'll get them back sir, yeah good point there levelcap has got some good info on gun set ups


  • Registered Users Posts: 202 ✭✭chickenboy


    I'm fuzziedunlop200, just recently transferred over from the PS3.

    On that note, does that mean I have to buy the China Rising DLC? I got it as a preorder bonus for the PS3, but it's asking me to pay for it this time.

    I have no doubt you will lad. Those vids are just some of the many ones that jackfrags and others have that helped me. In one of those is where i learned that Slams float and can be placed in rivers to sink boats, easy kills....very useful on Hainan resort, flood zone and paracel storm.

    did you get an activation key in the box? If you cant find it then i wouldnt bother just buying it on its own to be honest, the maps arent the greatest.
    You could go for the premium bundle when Second Assault comes out as it may be cheaper in the long run, there are loads of premium only goodies this month for player appreciation month such as shortcut unlocks to DMR's and shotguns and there is a 2nd doublexp event this month aswell for premium only.

    I may be wrong and feel free to correct me, but as far as I know, unless you got BF4 premium for the PS3 the codes to unlock China Rising don't transfer over to next gen.
    This is a quote I found online "There are two conditions of getting the China Rising Expansion. 1-Customers should have pre-ordered Battlefield 4 for their Next Gen Console at full retail price… OR… 2- Customers should have purchased Battlefield 4 Premium for either their Gen 3 or Gen 4 Console"

    I have an activation key still, the same one as I used for the PS3; I never even considered I could use it again, will give it a shot tonight! The china rising icon is still on my battlelog so maybe I just have to download it from the store as opposed to in-game.

    Time to either shell out for premium or give EA another 11 quid.

    As ally said the maps arent the best, and to make it worse, you have to actually go into a dedicated server running the expansion maps meaning damn all people will use them but i think a lot of people will use the upcoming second assault map pack with the BF3 maps re-mastered with levolution and 64 players, which includes metro, gulf of oman and caspian border.

    On a lighter note i'll add you asap.

    I also made a IRL emblem if any want to use it.

    If you're interested in using it, let me know and i'll show you how.

    Yeah good job.

    To add the emblem above you do the following.

    1. Log in to BF4 Battlelog.
    2. Visit the Customize emblem page and click ADD +.
    3. Open the browser console (Ctrl-Shift-J for Chrome, Ctrl-Shift-K for Firefox, Ctrl-Shift-I for Opera, F12 for IE).
    4. Scroll down to the bottom of the console window if not at the bottom already and paste the following code in and press Enter

    emblem.emblem.load({   "objects": [     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 265.5,       "height": 59,       "width": 149,       "asset": "WeaponCarbine",       "selectable": true,       "left": 161.5,       "fill": "#FFF200"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 162.5,       "height": 315,       "width": 301,       "asset": "Shield7",       "selectable": true,       "left": 159.5,       "fill": "#005952"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 94.5,       "height": 37,       "width": 160,       "asset": "Crown2",       "selectable": true,       "left": 161,       "fill": "#FFF200"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 174,       "height": 100,       "width": 66,       "asset": "Square",       "selectable": true,       "left": 92,       "fill": "#005826"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 174,       "height": 100,       "width": 67,       "asset": "Square",       "selectable": true,       "left": 159.5,       "fill": "#FFFFFF"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 174,       "height": 100,       "width": 66,       "asset": "Square",       "selectable": true,       "left": 226,       "fill": "#F26522"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 174,       "height": 78,       "width": 20,       "asset": "Stroke",       "selectable": true,       "left": 92,       "fill": "#000000"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 173,       "height": 80,       "width": 20,       "asset": "Stroke",       "selectable": true,       "left": 141,       "fill": "#000000"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 173,       "height": 80,       "width": 56.00359375,       "asset": "Number8",       "selectable": true,       "left": 158.998203125,       "fill": "#000000"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 203.5,       "height": 29,       "width": 19,       "asset": "Square",       "selectable": true,       "left": 160.5,       "fill": "#FFFFFF"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 199,       "height": 30,       "width": 16,       "asset": "Square",       "selectable": true,       "left": 179,       "fill": "#000000"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 173.5,       "height": 77,       "width": 20,       "asset": "Stroke",       "selectable": true,       "left": 212,       "fill": "#000000"     },     {       "opacity": 1,       "angle": 0.3199743973,       "flipX": false,       "flipY": false,       "top": 204.0109970146,       "height": 17.8936123334,       "width": 47.0273459152,       "asset": "Stroke",       "selectable": true,       "left": 226.4691449583,       "fill": "#000000"     }   ] });

    On a side note about china rising, not sure if you guys know but there are no levelution events in CR which is strange, however it seems that Dice had planned to put levolution events into CR but for some reason pulled them... more info here..

    I did give them a quick shot on the PS3 before christmas, and wasn't particularly impressed, but it's still galling to pay for something twice over!

    And thanks for the emblem Fox, got it added in now!

    Maybe it's just me, but 64 man Conquest on Dragons Pass can be fantastic. Using the raised rice fields as cover while trying to push on to the flag is very rewarding. Had a great match the other day, myself and a squadmate fighting to push onto the C flag only to be intercepted by 9 infantry, 2 MBTs and the LAV......... as cliché as it sounds, it was one of those 'only in Battlefield' moments

    I know it sucks having to pay again but to be honest, I'd just get Premium. Early access to the DLCs, extra battlepacks and double xp weekends. If you've any intention of playing the game for a while the you may as well plan long term with your purchases

    I just find them a bit meh, like its nothing we haven't seen before, they are ok, just wouldnt play them on a continual basis. I prefer Peaks to Dragon's Pass, I find DP too open with not enough indestructible cover, and infantry can get obliterated by even a semi competent tank squad. If Attack choppers were buffed up and could take out vehicles then it wouldnt be too bad but it generally just turns into a major tank \ LAV battle.

    Altai Range and Silk road are too big and boring, although i do like the base near the satellite dish in AR. Another thing that annoys me that has been mentioned is that they are not in rotation in the normal servers, so you have to pick a specific CR server anytime you want to play and after 2 rounds personally i get bored and jump back to the vanilla maps. im hoping this wont be the case with Second Assault but im guessing it will be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 489 ✭✭BordorFox


    Maybe im just lazy but it just seems such an effort to just go into the dedicated server just to play 4 maps that within its 4 span rotation gets old.


  • Registered Users Posts: 386 ✭✭bitch please


    right ive followed all the instructions for the emblem it says emblem fully loaded and rendered now how do i use it

    If you clicked save an use it should now be active and you will see it on your guns and vehicles and if you kill someone, they should see it on their screen in killcam.

    Will second assault be the same? Im guessing so, Id personally love a 24\7 gulf of oman server, cant wait to play that again, quality map

    I reckon Second Assault will be exactly the same; dedicated servers for only those 4 maps. At least until we get the option to rent custom servers though. There's no point in DICE putting China Rising into a general map rotation if they can't guarantee all the players have access to the DLC.
    I'm personally looking forward to Caspian Border
