Anyone know what Network Smoothing Factor should be set to?

I have mine at 30%. It's basically a trade off between lag and the in game animations. The lower the Smoothing Factor the less lag you should get in exchange for slightly choppier character animations, like knifing and vaulting etc.

Just downloading it now...says it's going to take half an hour �� Are you guys noticing any difference / improvement? I played a few rounds of domination last night and rage quited. Kept getting shot around corners and hit detection was all over the shop

I say this with a heavy heart, but Rush is really dying a slow and painful death. Worst part is, it's the community that seems to be doing the most damage. Don't get me wrong, some of the map designs are poor and the vehicle balance is questionable, but the majority of players on Rush these days are just tactically retarded, self centered, K/D focused burdens on their team who couldn't even spell PTFO.
How the **** does camping 200m from the Mcom with a bolt action rifle help your team??? Rarely ever see a Recon use a Soflam or his PLD, at least then he could pretend to be of some use. Rarely see anyone swap kits to deal with armour and when you do, there's never any ammo cos everyone else is running Assault.
There's no other game mode that's as infuriating when trying to play solo. When your in a squad that's working together it's fantastic, it's just a shame teamwork seems lost on the newer generation on Battlefield players

I think Rush is one thing they are taking a look at in the CTE at the moment, I think Gameplay is what they are messing with now....

I think they are going to change spawn and where the areas are, god knows when it will be implemented though!

We'll still have the same idiotic players though. I'm all for pushing the attackers back and putting pressure on them at their deployment, but not to the point where I'm so far away from the Mcom I can't really get back for a disarm. The amount of players that charge forward right up to the border of the attackers spawn is insane in some rounds. All it takes is for 1 guy flank to around(or just flies over their heads in a chopper) and then his 4 squadmates can spawn bomb behind the defenders line with a free run at the Mcom. Genuinely rage inducing when you're the only one trying to defend and disarm and constantly being killed while your teammates camp an obscure hill defending his 2-0 kill streak.....

Sums up there in one sentence... probably the best mode with a squad because you can have some real impact and can be the worse mode when alone...

Frustrating but I still plug away at it because with Rush there is an outcome which can be changed if having an emmense game whereas with Conquest the disadvantage is you are only 1 of 32 players

I have played Rush only twice, really did not like it and have not played it since. I do agree about the players though. I think quite a few jumped ship from another FPS game and came over to BF4. I don't know if they think its the same game or what but they have no idea how to PTFO. I always try to do that, i may die a lot and not succeed but thats what happens.
I was on last weekend, for two games of Conquest and the lag was worse than ever. I just had to turn it off. Couple that with the issues of trying to play with players that have no clue how to PTFO, and for me this game has become seriously frustrating.

Rush is very hit or miss with a lot players, 1 or 2 bad rounds can really damage your opinion of it. Try it with a few players in chat though and it can be amazing. Whether it's last second disarms after clearing out 3 guys on the way or finally getting the arm against all the odds with only 2 tickets left, Rush can be fantastic. The auto balancing needs work though, I've been in a few servers were both teams got repeatedly steam rolled and nothing changed until half the players drop out.
The new netcode patch should be active on all Conquest servers by the weekend and with the Hi - Frequency Network Update option the game should runa lot smoother for you now.

Off topic but in real life would there be any kill trades?

Surely it does happen if shooting from maybe 100 metres away?

Less likely than in Battlefield alright but they're definitely possible. Could depend on which gun + ammo was fired first, both shooters could fire almost simultaneously, could simply depend on where you get shot. Unless the brain stem is destroyed, the body could still involuntarily reflex and discharge the weapon.
I'm sure there's a sweet spot regarding distance in relation to the bullets travel time etc, but since the average rifle shoots at around 800m/s I'd imagine the greater the distance the more likely it is for both parties to get shot.

Yeah the increased player count versus stagnant ticket count certainly doesn't help. It's a vicious circle now as well though. There isn't enough players constantly looking for Rush to warrant a custom dedicated server with an increased ticket count. Ironically, that would probably bring a lot of players back to it. I know I sound like a broken record but the vehicle balance is horrendous on most of the maps. My concern would be that an increased ticket count would only prolong the game modes flaws rather than fix them.

Yes but we were heroic!!!!

Ha ha, damn right we were. It was certainly a morale victory if nothing else.

I've a habit of running to running to defend a flag without waiting for support. A few times a squadmate would get killed defending the original flag we were on and I'd be a little too far away to revive and vice versa. Might just a case of whoever is squad leader sets us basic orders to try keep us together.

I can be guilty of that myself, I see we are loosing a flag, I spawn in on my own to that flag without telling anyone, then i get mauled by 4 lads and get pssed off cos i dont have any backup! I need to work on spawning on teammates and then trying to work together towards an objective. But usually what happens with me is i start the game spawnin on a teammate, and after 2 or 3 times of getting insta-killed, i revert to spawning on a flag and lone-wolfing it. All it takes though is to go, "Paul is it safe to spawn on you" Or "what kit do you need me to spawn in on" etc etc.
