Seems to only update daily not hourly so expect a decent delay.

Anyone interested in a Tag mission this weekend lads? I know its paddys weekend so some of ye might be away or 'incapacitated' to play ;-) Sure if we get enough numbers we can run one, otherwise next weekend when the hangovers have subsided :-)

keithc83

Maybe a few could get online the Friday to do it if they really wanted to do the mission. I would be up for one anyway, before the Sunday that is! ;-) lol

I'll be working all weekend so just a quick question; is are we aiming for most tags taken in a single round or cumulative takings for the whole weekend?

Good question Paul! At the moment it would be total tags taken over the weekend during a set time period. There is no tag mission on battlelog at the moment so trying to figure a workaround. Tags taken per round will be a bit more work to calculate than over the whole weekend. But yeah, I think most tags taken in a round is the fairest.

At the moment only yourself and Keith have come back so I think will leave it for this weekend unless I hear from more. Also, calculating the tag count could be difficult with a hangover :-). Sure let's see what happens, I put a post up in the platoon aswell so will check and see what response came back.

Any1 having trouble connecting tonight? Got kicked half way through a game then couldn't connect again. Think it was a psn issue as was getting errors connecting to psn store also. Few mates were Unaffected but some were.. battlelog forums were full of people having issues connecting also

To be honest, most tags over the whole weekend is a better idea. No need to sacrifice an entire round trying to get just knife kills, you're just a burden and detrimental to your team doing that. At least if it's over the whole weekend you can focus on the objectives and still pick up tags towards the competition.
As you said yourself, extra work for you just trying to keep track of tags per round. The longer you have to spend counting the less time you can play the game

Yeah i had some troubles last night like that. Specifically one server the lads were on (we played Lancang Dam map last as it was just ridiculous the lag issues last night, even for that map!). I got kicked from two games as well. I changed to another server and I had very minor issues, very little lag maybe a couple of times, for two games.
But added to that i could not connect to Battlelog at all last night. I kept getting the "Failed to communicate with Battlelog" message.
I just hope that I can get a few decent games in this weekend. Preferably with no lag at all but i know thats wishful thinking!

paul_booth_fan

Just a heads up, DICE are running a test server on the PS4 at the minute. Presumably to do with the upcoming patch regarding the 'netcode' issues. If anyone is on by themselves or anything, no harm joining that server. It'll help the game in the long run.

Ok heres a lil quick Howto: getting your videos from PS4

Ok, you've recorded a video in PS4 and selected upload clip and it's gone to your Facebook.

A browser called maxthon which is basically chrome/ie dual browser has a video grabber built in like below.



You can see when i hovered mouse over cobra video above a Download button shows while it's playing, letting me download the Flv flash video file or in facebooks case, the mp4 file.

Take rickys earlier post with his facebook video as an example, this is how i downloaded his mp4.



The 46.8 mb was what loaded of the lower resolution (you dont want that 48.8mb) before i clicked HD on the facebook video then the 264mb file download link appeared for me to download, this is the 720p full version you want.

After you download that 264mb mp4 file you're free to edit it and add the intro before it in whatever video editor you use.

Sweeeeeettt Nice one lads, sound for the help

HowyaNow147

right lads if anyone can help it would be great,

i have made a basic video (WIP) of what i was trying to do, but tbh i've never done any of the video editing before and my laptop aint built for it,
(was using a trial version of vegas pro)-(dunno if that program is any good?)

so i want to put it up on this as ZIP file; so that one of yous can have a look and see if yous can make it better, i would upload it to youtube but, i havent got the best of net and it says it will take a few hours to do that.

its a big file so will it be compressed in that ZIP File?? and will any of you's have the time to make the video?

i could do it but i have a crap upload,you could try some easy editing software like windows live movie maker,ten mins looking it up on youtube could sort you out on how to use it,vegas pro needs a bit of time getting your head around it,then again one of the lads might take it off your hands,that has a good connection,i`ll put up the into and the flags if you want to get them of youtube

thanks for the info, yeah i have the same problem with upload, i had to use vegas beacuse theres some features that it has that windows live movie maker doesnt have, i got the intro so its ok, thanks for that, i'll try put it up on youtube in the next few days, i jsut want to see what others people think of it and any other ideas that could be added to it yano

Personally vegas is a complete hog and will use up way too many resources on your pc.

Try Camtasia Studio 8.3 from Techsmith, it's what i use and also allows me to upload to youtube or google drive direct from the editor.

but what size is the videos you make,i know it depends on the size,as ian said his upload is`nt great.
Windows movie maker is pretty novice so its easy to start with,it also allows you to upload directly to youtube

yeah you control that via a encoder, in camtasia you can use h264 mp4 encoder and preset 720p resolutions, my 15 min vids come out at around 450mb

If you need any other help, let me know.

I was wondering if some of you might have some tips for one of the newer guys to Battlefield. I am trying to rank up a bit in the Recon class and get better at sniping/spotting. What do you think would be the best gamemode to do that in? I don't want to sit back and not help the team, but how can i do that without dying a crazy amount of times? I probably should say at this point that my sniping skills in Battlefield are way below average. Not even sure you could call them skills really! lol

I'd focus on building up the recon class first. So run with a carbine and basically play like normal. Get the higher gadgets; motion balls and C4 etc, you can use them to help your team greatly. The Soflam will really help jets and helicopters .
Once you've unlocked all the recon perks then focus on sniping. The M40 is more then capable at medium ranges so you still don't have to hide way back from the action. Pick one scope and stick with it, don't keep swapping them out, the 8× is very good anyway. The more you use the same scope and same rifle, the better you'll get at assessing bullet drop and lead time etc.
Keep spamming the spot button as well, you'll often show up guys you didn't even know where there. Just because you can't hit them from your position doesn't mean an ally can't
I'm not a great sniper or anything though so best advice I could give is just keep at it. As long as your spotting or taking out vehicles, or even just taking out the 1 guy arming your m-com, you'll be helping the team

Cheers for that Paul. Much appreciated. Will definitely try to run with the carbine to build up. Thats exactly what i want to do as there are some pretty decent gadgets in that class higher up. I just need quite a few points to unlock those.

Don't forget to abuse the XP boosts as well...... there's also a Premium event next weekend so could be another few double XP days. You should be able to fly through the unlocks
