I'm sorry but did I miss the part where they are never fixing the single player. I put in a few hours yesterday and go to continue just now and there's no savefile? WTF

Can you even get the mission select as opposed to starting from the save point?

I know when some of my saves corrupted I could trick it into doing that...

There is a workaround with a USB key which involves copying the file over to USB, maybe look into that?

This is why I am not bothering to try to finish campaign. I tried once and lost it all. Not going to bother until its fixed.

Nope the only option is to start from the beginning again. I don't know how many times I've played through the opening section.

"Turn around bright eyes" God how I loathe that song!

As someone mentioned the USB save seems to work. I was saving it to Cloud but that only works sometimes 'cos I lost Cloud saves before.

I remember freezing at the dam part of single the first time around and having to restart entirely again. It was on a loop of me dying falling down the dam, there was literally nothing I could do about it whatsoever.

Played it twice since and didn't have an issue again.

There's a single player option?

Yeah, it's a showcase for all the bugs.

You unlock more guns for multiplayer. There's a reason to play it once or twice.

M249 - pretty good
P90 - super good
QBE ?? (AR) - meh

You only have to endure the dumb choices in the horrible last mission to get them. You don't have to play thought the entire game three times.

Ah yeah I know. TBH I quite liked the SP. The M249/P90 are actually very good I haven't really used the AR.
M249 in somewhere like Locker is hilarious. Position yourself in a chokepoint. Hold down fire button.

REX pistol
Shank
Machete
QBZ-95
P90

.. and I think the G36C and AEK are unlocked too via single player.


The G36C being my number one used gun in BF3 and the P90 being in the top 5 I think were enough reason to play through it. AEK itself is excellent too in CQB.

gimli2112

Ah ok hadn't considered the knives and pistol. Haven't used the Rex because of the trigger delay thing. That said started using the Magnum recently and it is very fun to use.

AEK is one of my favourite ARs.
Everytime I pick up the P90 I think "Why on earth did I stop using this?" There's a lot of really good weapons in game that you really aren't at that much disadvantage by using though.

I thought you unlocked the G36C and AEK in MP?

Had about 2 hours MP in BF3. No idea why I didn't get into it at the time cos really do enjoy this one.

Maybe you do. I just remember the screen pop up in single player saying you've unlocked the G36C and AEK like you do when you pick up the P90 for example.

P90 is criminally underused I've noticed in BF3 and BF4, at least in my experience. Very easy to go on long killstreaks with it, no matter the map.

AWS is quite good for that too, plus quicker reload.

I've walked up the locker room in metro with the finger on the trigger and mangled anything that happened to stick it's head out, it's great fun



Question, whats with the AK5C? Bullets from that are like getting hit by an LAV, same sound and all.

allybhoy

Playing Obliteration last night, and some guy on our team kept getting the bomb and driving back to one of our points with it instead of the enemies, dont know if he was trolling or just a noob but it was very annoying. Wouldnt mind, but he managed to pick the bomb up several times and every time he did he went straight back to one of our flags. Rage inducing

gimli2112

When I started Obliteration, didn't have a clue what I was doing. One of the first times I got the bomb I went up the lift in the big skyscraper in Shanghai and jumped off deep into enemy territory. Well that's what I intended, landed deep behind our own lines completly putting our team on the back foot.

Quit in shame.

It's the best carbine in the game, and arguably the best all round gun too. Much of competitive play is dominated by it much like the M16A3 and M4A1 were in Battlefield 3. You don't have to be good to use the gun as evidenced by the amount of players running it. AWS, MTAR and ACW-R aren't far behind it in Battlefield 4.

I did that once First time playing Obliteration, on Parcel Storm, grabbed the bomb and jumped onto the boat with about 3 others. As we were going past our base, I jumped off and ran towards the base thinking it was the enemies.
I'm at the base trying to activate the bomb for ages, it does nothing. One of my team runs over to me, looking at me, eventually starts shooting at me. I realised my mistake then. Too late, enemy chopper duly arrives and blows us to pieces.
Also quite in shame

I just for a ps4 and I'm wondering whether it is worth it to buy premium at this stage in the games life cycle. I have 85 hours into the game on ps3 without premium. Just wondering whether it is worth the €35 (usa Psn).

Also I'm no1 skill in ireland at 600+ skill and no1 score per minute in ireland, check the leader boards. Doublelime is my psn name.

I think so, I doubt we will see a price drop until the last map pack at least....

With that SPM they should be giving it to you for free
If you are going to play enough of it I'd get Premium. Naval Strike Maps are pretty cool , Some of the DLC weapons/Gadgets are very good and you'll spend 10 minutes opening up all those shiny new battlepacks!

The boredom is setting in for me in BF4... not sure why, just couldnt be bothered anymore.

Hopefully this will pass as I dont play anything else.

Also I use all weapons so that isnt a suggestion worth making... maybe if the server rotation wasnt set in stone (PS4) it would have some flexibility/unpredictability?

Same here. Just too many times getting killed by bugs in the game rather than being daft. Started playing a lot more Arma 3 and Battle Royale instead. Might go back occasionally, especially if that CTE stuff gets rolled into the game, but other than that...

Tazzimus

I've gone from playing every day of the week to Friday, and even then it might not be every Friday.

The bugs are a big buzz killer for me, you can't enjoy it most of the time because of how game breaking some of them are

The Red

A lot of you guys are playing Arma 3 right? hmmm. I might give that a go soon.. Looks like it could be good.
