didnt have a single crash in few days

Dave147

Just crashed twice in a row on Siege in Shanghai on GaelLords, was playing TDM on a German server since 1am with no blips.

BlitzKrieg

heh. I was just in siege of shanghai and my whole squad crashed out when they took down the tower but not me.

In fact when I looked at the scoreboard it was my entire team gone except me and six people on the enemy team.

wtf?

Gehad_JoyRider

Sparks

I'm just loving how the handguns are more effective than the DMRs...

Dave147

Maybe there should be some separate threads for platforms lads? And maybe some thread where we can discuss the games we were in? When all platforms now in one thread ( soon to be 5 platforms ) it will be a Cluster****.

I've a PC server discussion thread already created here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=87365966#post87365966

Guys can create their own console threads at will

I agree, a good example of this is a PC player typically saying "i hate Metro" whereas a console player has a more chance to like it given the 24 player restriction. The opposite then happens on Operation Firestorm etc when a PC player should like it when a console player will feel it is a ghost town.

GaelLords crashing constantly for me, got in there for 5 mins and random crash. ****ing headwrecking.

I've not had a single crash yet (some very long load times though). Maybe it's your system?

I'd recommend a clean Windows install if you've not done one for a while. I do one every 6 months, it's great for cleaning software off you don't need. I keep Steam on a different drive so don't have to download everything again.

I've had 3 crashes now in a half hour now. Two server, one on my end, bf4.exe has stopped working.

I use win7 and a new install of 8.1 and both crash often

Built machine about 3 weeks ago, the only times it's crashed are since I got BF4, had 3 crashes so far today. Settings are on Med-High so it's not that it's working too hard either.

Wonda-Boy

Not only does the game crash, sometimes it hangs the whole PC so a hard reset is needed. Fcuk.in terrible in this day and age.......BF4 is the best looking series but far from as playable as the others.

This video contains footage recorded from the last week of playing. Took fecking ages to edit, so hopefully you guys enjoy it. It's my fan made trailer for Battlefield 4 Multiplayer

Some love on the Reddit thread would be awesome too: http://redd.it/1q1nru

Cheers!

just finished the campaign it was surprisingly ok, it would be nicer to have a longer battle but seriously its not a bad one at all.

I thought it was awful and very short too. Terrible ending. The plot was really pulling me in and I wanted to keep on playing to see what would happen after

Jin Jan (spelling?) was discovered by the Chinese and whether if Chang and Russia would go full-scale conflict against other nations. Would be interested in seeing if they would attack Europe or North America really.

For the campaign overall, I'd give it 6/10 for decent plot but a bad ending, good graphics (weren't as good as BF3 as I noticed lots of lagging and texture blurs or squares) and good surprises like

Hannah's supposedly traitorious act but then she turns on Chang's forces to free Recker, Irish and Dimi out of the prison in the mountains.

Mad_Dave

Great video ktulu, I really should hip fire more - seems much more effective in this game.
I'll give you an up on reddit just as soon as I remember my username/password

*Checks map

Its Downbreak or Siege of Shanghai

*goes makes himself cup of tea and waits for change of map as no point playing for 2 minutes and crash.

Celts and gaelLords servers are full so I'm guessing yes

TerrorFirmer

Whenever I play, it's on Gaellords, name is the same as here. Should be playing tonight about 11!

ktulu123

I should be on for most of the night, just after crashing there. Some ballbag took out the tower after I told him not too :P

Dave147

Anyone else having constant lag issues with UPC? My ping will occasionally spike to 999 but usually it stays around 40 but when I'm running around it gets very jittery. Doesn't seem to be affecting anyone but me.

Mine is at that also. I taught it was the fact I had moved house and the pc is miles from the router. UPC must be trying to upgrade something so.

Trying to get my server up and running if anyone is stuck queuing for Gaels and wants to jump in need two more to get a game started it should fill on its own after that.

Added as a favorite, dont mind helping out any irish servers TBH. And it can get a bit tedious playing on the one server all night.

Crashy macCrashCrash last night, finally gave up after unlocking carbines (FINALLY, no more fecking 2-headshots-required-to-kill DMRs or stupidly short range PDWs on maps that the M40A2 has range issues on).

Yeah, it took me a while to do it, but I don't get 20-hour stretches to work on things the way I used to

I certainly found the AK-5C to be a pleasant upgrade from the PDWs at least.

Sparks

It was a lovely contrast to the deeply unpleasant discovery that in its ideal environment (medium range with the ACOG sights), the DMRs just can't get it done. Perfect headshot, observed the impact, saw the guy run away into cover and come round a corner to hit me with four rounds from his AK12 and ruin my whole day and his orange friend let me know he still had 30-odd percent health. That sort of thing is just not cricket.

Mad_Dave

Have to agree, DMRs are a little pointless at the minute. Maybe the addition of a 6x scope would help ?

Sparks

Doesn't matter if the scope is 4x, 6x, or infinityx I think, not if a headshot won't kill the target and the assault rifles (and heck, even the carbines) do more damage faster.

Seriously, at one stage I was having better success using the Rex instead of the DMR when playing; that's just broken.

honest question here: what's the difference between a carbine and assault rifle?

Sparks

One's called a Carbine and all the classes can use it and one's called an Assault Rifle and only the Assault class can use it.

Unless you mean outside the game and that's a whole other conversation :pac:

Mad_Dave

Here's a comparison for the AK-12 assault rifle vs it's carbine version AKu-12s, courtesy of
Symthic.com
Should give you an idea of the in game differences between the two.

many thanks guys

This saddens me, should be the opposite, should get rewarded for using a more skilled weapon than penalised. Shame 'cos I like using DMRs in general.

I'd have a kill as follows, 50 max & 34 min, making it a two shot/three shot kill or one shot at close range to the head.

How in god's name are DMRs more skilled that a carbine/assault rifle? They have higher damage, less recoil, and are semi auto. As well as that, most people just spam DMRs until they kill whoever they're shooting at - not skillful.

congrats for being featured

Yeah , just showed up in my news feed as well , congrats

Ah, no. Compare the two. Yes, the RFD has higher damage per shot and longer range; but the damage is 43, and with the 2x headshot multiplier, 86. So your first shot can't end the whole thing; and now the other chap is firing back at you, and granted each of his rounds only does 25 damage, but he's firing at 650rpm and you're firing at however fast you can click the mouse, which is considerably less. And that's at close range, at medium to long range it's even worse.

In other words, on paper the RFD (and the rest of the DMRs) look better; in reality, not a hope. You might get one good thump in but then you're toast. Unless it's a complete newbie on the receiving end, and in that case, why are you using a rifle you pussy? Get your knife out and go do things properly!

Well, once upon a time, we needed a new mod. So I got a list of the biggest spammers on here and asked the worst offender to be mod...and he said no. So I went on down the list until one was gullible enough. And that's who TheKtulu123 is.
