Just played Naval Strike for the first time, that Wave Breaker map is cool.

If it's the kill assist ribbons that is the problem use the flame grenades.

Okay, so the Phantom Trainee assignment has been discovered after a wild goose chase. The password is "epic dream worlds". If it doesn't work for you enter "bumpinthenight" first to unlock the assignment.

The kill assists are a pain

The Shotgun ribbons part of the Phanton Trainee assignment seems to be bugged :eek:

is this the same phantom trainee that's been there since the launch or is this a new one.

you can just click on the small icon at bottom of leaderboards and enter bumpinthenight as the password.

thought most people knew this as its been cracked for about 3 months now

He meant phantom prospect.

Edit: Wait no. I'm getting confused. He was right, it's phantom trainee. You're thinking of Phantom Prospect.

Great news!

Loadout Presets are coming tomorrow! :D:D:D:D

No more messing around with classes during a match. Now we'll have the ability to create 4 Assault class set-ups, 4 Engineer class set-ups, 4 Support class set-ups and 4 Recon class set-ups. And flick between them!

About fecking time, it's been asked for for long enough, even as a third-party setup using the battlelog API...

Battlelog has an API? Is it broken?

Any word what time we can expect this at?, just logged on there and nothing new as of yet.

The Red

Its there now. I was just messing with it.

The Red

It doesnt look like the images though. Just go to your loadout and hover over the title of your class "Engineer" etc. Presets will appear.

jonski

Ok , I might be completely stupid here ( wouldn't be the first time ) , I set my different presets in battlelog before I joined a server but then ingame I couldn't find where to pic the preset I wanted . Please tell me I am more stupid than Dice/EA/whoever and I can choose from the different presets ingame .

The Red

Dunno but I spent a while today messing with them and just got home to see they werent saved and I have to reset them again :S

database repair it seems all presets were reset

http://pcgmedia.com/loudout-presets-launched-for-bf4/

Note that Loadout Presets will only be available on Battlelog in Battlefield 4, and not be reflected in-game. You apply Presets to your Loadout, which then follows you in-game when you save it.”

This , this above , this statement .... what was the bloody point if you couldn't choose them in game , sweet baby jesus use your time more wisely .

Mobile phone browser, other laptop, or the browser in the background when you're running BF4.

Might be obvious to you, but it was (a) probably easier to implement this way; and (b) probably not done by the dev team that works on the game itself, but a wholly separate group who work on battlelog.

That's an excellent price but it says that downloads are only available to U.S. customers

Given the hints about the final DLC apparently being future based, maybe it'd be a good time to release 2142 as part of the free Origin games promotion.

you just setup a delivery address in your amazon address book, for some random Wendys in USA - and use that address for delivery, but it doesn't matter as you get a digital download. I've done it loads of times.

I'm definitely getting this so.

might also have something to do with Gamespy shutting down

4Dlolz

Anyone tried the Triple Shotty Extreme yet?!

Seen a lot of people using it last night. Assault with DAO-12, Shorty 12G, M26 MASS. And if you want to get really into it, get the USAS12 battle pick-up. That's four shotguns your soldier is carrying.

:pac:

I found that a lot of people despised 2142 back in the day. It certainly was different, but didn't mind it all that much myself. It was pretty fun.

Still prefer the modern games though.

Gamespy gets turned off soon so wont be able to browse games unless EA add in an option.

Played the single player campaign today. Was bored and figured I'd give it a go. I'm on the last mission already after about 4 hours, so it is particularly short, but I expected it to be awful given the response to it.

It's not one for the books or anything but it's entertaining and pretty similar to Call of Duty, really - I thought it was definitely a lot better than COD: Ghosts weak story! Overall worth playing if you like FPS games. Can't say I understand the hate for it really.

Single player is enjoyable. The problem a lot of people have is that their saved games were being deleted somehow. This was causing most of the rage. I enjoyed it and never had problems with saves. But yes, it is fairly short.

I'm same I enjoyed it BUT LUCKILY for me I managed to complete all dog tag, weapon, achievements over a few days before I turned it on one day to find my save games disappeared.

Thats still actually happening btw

I wasn't quite so lucky. I had went through the campaign on hard up until the last mission. Gathering all collectibles on the way, then when I went to continue, save corrupted. YOU MOTHER****ER!

i played the first mission, thought the scripted bits were cool, got 5 mins into the second one when my save dissappeared. never been back since. maybe I'll give it a go if my internet dies sometime.

i never got a save corrupted. I simply turned it on one day and it just said start new campaign like wtf.

personally cant believe that even this cardinal rule of game development hasn't been fixed yet

TerrorFirmer

I played it just yesterday and today so not much room there for error, but honestly if you're at a loose end for a day or two and have 4 or 5 hours to spare, you'll get through the whole thing without having to worry about stuff like that. But would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes heavily scripted and cinematic first person shooters. Must go and play Warfighter now, never played that single player either, MOH had a decent SP campaign as well.

I had played the MP and liked it in both MOH games, stands out on its own really which is great, but I've just been in a single player mood lately. I enjoyed the first MOH campaign, but this one was bad - just feels off, totally, and I encountered quite a lot of bugs as well. Shame.

The Red

Ok you lot convinced me to go back and restart BF4 SP after I had my saves wiped too. Was enjoying it, but I might just do it on easy this time to get through it quicker. There is no penalty for doing it on easy is there?
Also, whats the story with collectables etc? How dya get them?
