Every so often I jump on a server that does a locker/metro rotation and play one full game of each. The other night I was playing and I shoot a guy and kill him then get behind cover to reload, so the timing is pretty much

I shoot -> he dies -> take cover -> reload -> then start getting hit -> prone -> die

from the guy I killed before I took cover and started reloading

Which is why I haven't played in a couple nights and am not sure I'll go back anytime soon

I've just been getting smoked when I'm behind solid, indestructible objects, bout 10 ft or so past any doorways or openings. It's kills by AR/MG/SR, no nades or launchers.

That and I couldn't kill sh*t the other night, everybody were bullet sponges...
 
This makes no effing sense. If you are already paying for the servers with Plus and Live why the hell would you have to pay extra for extension servers?

Why do people see this as an ok thing?
 
17 C4 kills on metro the other night, with 8 of them coming from a single charge haha

cause you are not paying for servers with LIVE and PLUS... thee are EA servers, has nothing to do with sony or microsoft.
 
For those with both console and pc version....is it just me, or is the walk/run speed faster on console than on pc? I swear, it feels different. I love how smooth to pc version feels and how great it looks, but the walk/run speed is a huge turnoff for me. I feel like I move quicker on console.
 
There's a real limited number of servers right now, it's hard to get one. I probably will, but I want to wait awhile because I have a feeling there will be problems with the server rentals.
 
there is a limit to have many servers can be rented?

there seems to be a HUGE lack of user created servers! in BF3 there were thousands.. i guess X1 version of BF4 doesnt have many players, or if there is a limit that may explain it

i miss BF3 tbh.
 
Yeah there seems to be hardly rental servers on the XB1. The most I've seen were 4 the other night, and one of them had no players playing. I don't get how there can be a limited number of servers, they just launched the feature, they should have an adequate supply, are DICE really that dumb?
 
Squad Join BETA is up on PS4. Should have been there from the start but I'm just glad they're finally getting their sh!t together.

Will try it out later with some homies.
 
yeah too little too late though, the "crew" i play with have moved on ages ago, and one of the problems was the struggle of playing together

It's been up on the XB1 for the past few days too, agreed it should have been there from the start.
 
The Squad Join in it's current state is kind-of useless though, at least on Xbox One. It's cool that it will leave a spot in the Squad if somebody wants to hop in later. The problem is you have no control of it right now, at least I didn't. So you make a Squad, go in together, then you can never do any controls with the Squad! You can't open it, can't leave Squad, can't kick people, can't join another Squad later, it's inconvenient really in a way.

They said themselves it's a really limited roll-out just to test if it's even going to work well. Also, there are servers, but you have to search different regions & turn "Normal" off & turn "Ranked" on as well. Some are Ranked servers instead of Official & turning Normal off makes it so there are custom setting servers included. Ranked you still get everything of Official, it just doesn't throw Quick Match people in.
 
yeah i know how to filter lol there is at most 4-5 conquest servers and half of em usually only have 0-15 players

i will only search in europe as anything else is just asking for lag

Yeah I've done that, except I only search US East/West, anything else isn't worth the lag.
 
I wouldn't mind if they released a pack with Epicenter, the palace map, Seine and Bazaar, i don't think i've played the Naval assault maps much at all except for a few rounds of TDM.
 
I still can't run past prone allies in a corridor. And the HDR is still blinding, unlocked guns showing locked, and SP is still plagued with bugs that prevent progress.. Why does this game still exist??? :txbconfused:

Is the allied thing a glitch, I always thought it was meant to be like that. I hear ya on that nothing like getting stuck in a corridor or hallway on allies on the ground, or the allied jostle when your whole team runs through a confined area.

Wut?

Are your allies blocking your path? I've never had issued running "around" prone allies.
HDR is not blinding. lol
Unlocked guns showing locked? Are you playing ranked or unranked?
 
The more I play the campaign, the less I like it. At first I dug it. But now I'm seeing very limited ways to engage the enemy. For example, in the prison level, I couldn't pick up enemy weapons before unlocking the cell doors. It forced me shank enemies but their weapons would not drop to allow me to just go in guns blazing. I know it wouldn't have been the wisest choice but I should have been given the choice regardless. Another example is how little control i have over my squad. The game gives us wide open areas with a wealth of vantage points to engage or flank the enemy but the only control I have is tell them when to shoot. Not sure why the single player can't even come close to the wealth of strategy in the multiplayer.

People are blind if they cannot see a difference in that, and not only the difference in smoothness but responsiveness as well. (if you were actually playing at 60 vs 30)

I see a difference but I'm not sure what. It just looks shiney. Can't say one looks better than the other
 
Man, this game sucks lately. I go back to it from time to time & in Domination/TDM especially the last two weeks or so I've just been getting "one shot" like mad, worse than in the past. What I'm referring to is you just drop dead like all the bullets are hitting you at once. It's like all the guns that should take 7-8 hitmarkers at a range are just dropping me dead.
 
Don't expect it to get much better.

I've been playing on the CTE here and there (usually 2-3 rounds per night) and even though the netcode feels much better you still get "one shot" far too often, you still die around corners at least a couple times a match and trades still happen, although not nearly as often as retail ATM.

They can fix and change the netcode all they want. They can fix and change and increase the tick rate all they want. But so long as people with 200+ ping are allowed to play on these servers the game will continue to play as it does now with "one shot" deaths, deaths around corners and trades.

The worst offender is the Scar-H. Whenever I die from that it's almost always a "one shot".
 
I would have bought Battlefield 4 on the PS4 had I known that I would have had access to the Hardline beta :(. Will the [HASHTAG]#xbox[/HASHTAG] get the beta at any point?
