Happened to me last night actually. First time.. they were on the roof between C & D on Sunken Dragon, overlooking the parking complex.. XM25 explosives were raining from the skies and we could do nothing about it.

XM25/SRAW/Mortar/Chopper no good for getting back at them?

Never unlocked that, the jet ribbons for me are a killer, can't fly them at all.

The SUAV however, that I love. Road killed by a toy aeroplane

There are 2 man servers if you need to go down that road.

Only on PC? I play on the 360, must have a look though just in case there is.

Any of you lot ever try any of the matchmaking stuff on the likes of ESL Versus or anything like that?

I glanced at it briefly and wonder if it would be any craic? Joining up a private 6v6 or whatever it is...

Yep. It's OK, but it's better when you've got a mate or two to play with. You'll often come up against people who would be considered "pro" by many players - also known as "hackers" by much of the internet community

Oh, and it's 5v5....Domination usually, on either Op Locker, Lancang Dam or Paracel Storm.

The Red · 03-09-2014 3:55pm

So is there matchmaking with regards to rank or skill or whatever in any of it?

I always feel like I would like to be playing with more people my own level when I play BF4... (useless, blind, slow and old)
and as I am trying to play more close quarters stuff to get my aim and reaction speed up, I thought it might be a good thing to try these groups out.

Or if anyone had a better thoughts as to a good way to play in games that match up similar level players?

DeWinterZero · 09-09-2014 4:04am

Details on the final expansion, Final Stand, is to be revealed tomorrow at 9am PT which is 5pm Irish time I think. At least one snow map from the looks of things.

Glico Man · 09-09-2014 4:10am

Never mind their most recent crummy version of a snow map (I'm looking at you Alborz Mountain), just give me the snow maps from BC2, Port Valdez, Nelson Bay and White Pass... that is all. Oh, and the Frostbite map from BF2

The Red · 09-09-2014 7:17am

Is this like the vietnam expansion pack? A kind of seperate setup to the rest. And a redesigned 2142?

The Red · 09-09-2014 7:17am

Sorry... Remastered.

jumbobreakfast · 09-09-2014 10:16am

You can edit your posts dude, no need to make a new post.
People are downloading the new CTE now, you have to uninstall your existing CTE before downloading the 14GB. Some interesting 2142 type rumours alright...

The Red · 09-09-2014 10:18am

Oh yeah... sorry..

Does a reveal mean just what it will contain? Is it different to the release date?

What's CTE?

Stone Deaf 4evr · 09-09-2014 10:27am

Controlled test environment I think. its where they test out patches etc.

miralize · 09-09-2014 10:30am

Shame its PC only. Apparently the next patch is going to be entirely game altering..

jumbobreakfast · 09-09-2014 10:35am

CTE is on PC only. It's stands for Community Test Environment and is essentially a separate version of the game with new features that are being tested like experimental netcode, map design changes (especially for rush mode) and lots of other stuff. Sometimes the tests work and sometimes they don't but people can leave feedback on the CTE forums and all that kind of stuff. Usually you only get a small subset of maps that are in the actual game.

Today's CTE looks like a sneak peak at something though and perhaps marks the end of the CTE. It goes live at 4 or 5pm

The Red · 09-09-2014 10:39am

Cooooool. will have to revisit it so.

tigger123 · 09-09-2014 12:59pm

The predictions on Twitter under #bf4 are saying that it might be fairly futuristic stuff, pictures of rail-guns and whatnot.

The Red · 09-09-2014 1:03pm

More rumours state this could be the stepping stone to a future 2142 sequel they might be planning?

MRTULES · 09-09-2014 1:03pm

Looking to purchase a battlefield game. Having never played any or not being much of a PC gamer (until now), is 4 the best bet?
Seems to be a lot of choice as in premium and expansion packs ect... What should I be looking at getting?
Cheapest place to get it?
And what's the best way for a noob to start? Like just jump on in/single player mode (if there is such a thing) or get with a group on team speak and the like?
Thanks

tigger123 · 09-09-2014 1:05pm

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot...

I'm a premium member... How many expansion packs have there been for bf4? I've only downloaded Dragons Teeth. Are there others available?

China Rising
Dragon's Teeth

If you want my humble opinion, I wouldnt live without BF Bad Company 2, BF3 and BF4. I love them all but If you only want to get one, BF4 is really good right now. I am only a lowly rank 40 in BF3 but I am really envious of all the BF vets in here that have had the last few years of fun with it. I would love to stick to BF3 but 4 is where its at right now. Ahhhh the difficulty of choices!! But in fairness, there are no wrong choices. Fact.

Oh, and just go with premium for any of them, its worth it.

BFBC2 can be got for very little (physicalDVD version) at the moment and honestly, it's an extremely fun game that is better than BF4 in many respects (especially in rush mode)

The digital download is about 20 quid on origin which is pricy for a 5 year old game but you can get the disk for a tenner from gamestop as a physical copy second hand (or less if you get it from amazon.co.uk)

The Red · 09-09-2014 1:55pm

Hmmm, I bet if you ask nicely someone might even have an old key lying around they might donate? But dont quote me on that...

The upgrading to Premium process is a total pain, the only one I could see at the time was Dragons Teeth, so I downloaded that.

Will I find the other packs in the PlayStation Store?

Cheers for the response btw, a lot of bf4 for me this evening

Is the rail gun going to be like the Pilum from 2142 I wonder? I loved sniping helis with that yoke

I have had them all a few months now and I find I very rarely play any of the add ons. Map rotation is crap when you can only select it by map packs. Why cant we just have full map rotation

I'd be inclined to agree. In BF3 you could select a game mode and any of them would come up, much better.

Yeah BF3 was far easier to navigate than BF4. Squads only got added recent enough. Its also a pity that they didnt allow the quick game to allow official Dice servers only aswell.

There is not much new here tbh, a floatie tank and the rail gun. Other than that its BF4 in the snow.

Only played Whiteout so far, another one released today.

You mean you can only select specific map pack servers and not servers than run a mix of all DLCs?

Somethings up there, the server filter should let him pick ones running all the maps, I know for a fact that one of my favorite servers is titled something like "OLD & NEW"

Well on the game mode if you click on TDM it will let you only select each map pack.

On server browser you can select it but I like playing official Dice servers and there is no way of doing it on them i think.

If you look across on the server browser it says if they are official and ranked / unranked
