***OFFICIAL*** FBG All things BATTLEFIELD Thread (2 Viewers)

Thought this was interesting, in the sense he is saying hacking is far more common than many suspect, just not the "aimbot 99-1" type hacks. More hackers run with radar and situational awareness hacks, and only rarely use the aimbot.

Further down in the some of the posts someone posted youtube links to what the cheat looks like:

Makes you just want to give up and never play again. I mean, really, what's the point?

Have fun playing with friends? :shrug:

Aloha, my friends!

 
I don't understand the point of cheating in a multiplayer video game. There's no money to be gained, so all you're doing is just stripping away the challenge, which is what makes it fun in the first place.

 
Yeah, those cheats are pretty bad. One that drives me crazy (I know its out there, but I can't find the video) is this hack that allows you to know whenever someone is aiming at you. There's a color coded bar on the screen that is green when you're clear, yellow when someone sees you and red when someone aims at you. There have been times when I KNOW that someone has been using that against me. I try to line up a sniper shot, only to have an opposing sniper shuffle one step to the left or right every time I aim at them. I've seen one of them do it 5 or 6 times in a row. Its nonsense, but whatever. Really sad that people would really cheat like that. I don't get how its fun.

Good games last night. The game performance is still really frustrating. Lots of crazy lag on Paracel storm when the storm starts and plenty of crashes still. We're coming up on a month after release. Enough is enough.

Someone asked me to post a list of the guys I follow on youtube....

Matimi0- for fun weapons challenges and the double vision stuff he does with Lvl Cap.

LvlCap- good weapon breakdowns and seems like a decent dude. Annoying voice though

XFactor- Dude posts some beastly gameplays and really detailed weapon breakdowns. Good guy to follow if you're having trouble controlling recoil. Good vehicle gameplay as well.

Frankie1080P- Not much technical gameplay help, but the guy is hysterical

IntheWorks- Some good weapon breakdowns. Seems like a normal guy. Uses a variety of weapons

For those having trouble racking up a lot of kills, my advice would be to just do everything you can to avoid chokepoints. IMO, there's nothing dumber than just joining the zerg at at chokepoint and praying you get lucky enough to stay alive. Take Operation Locker for example. I know that if just join the morons spamming the doors, the best I'm gonna do is MAYBE trade kills with someone. So when I see that situation, I'll drop my ammo box (free points!! Yay!!) maybe throw one or 2 grenades or a volley of airbursts, and then just take off for a flaking route. On pretty much every map, I'm constantly going for the backrage. I just think its better to take the long way around (which might take 30 seconds to a minute) if it means you get can get 3 or 4 (or 10 if the other team is stupid) free kills.

My biggest problem in this game (other than my total inability to pilot any sort of aircraft. Pretty sure I'm just giving up) is reloading. I get 2 or 3 deaths a game solely because I reloaded when I didn't need to. I also miss my ASVAL. Its apparently coming back with the China rising DLC, but with only 20 rounds :kicksrock:

 
Thanks for the links. I've watched some of LvlCap and Frankie1080p before -- I'll make a point to check out the others sometime.

I'm embarrassed to say that I still don't know the maps all that well. Yesterday I was playing conquest on Locker, and of course C was a complete cluster-####. I don't know how to flank from there yet. On the plus side, I finished the round with 27 medkit ribbons.

 
XB360 here. I installed the updated Friday afternoon. And haven't had any more freezes on the load screens BUT I have had 7 or 8 crashes in the middle of rounds. And if I recall correctly, they were all while I was in vehicles. :wall:

they really better get this crap straightened out quickly, or there may not be a BF5

 
has anyone played as commander? I tried a couple of rounds, and got a few kills with cruise missiles, but mostly just deploying whatever random stuff was available and not racking up many points. Surely, there's more you can do with it?

I played a few rounds as commander. It's nice if you're in mumble with the rest of the guys you're playing with. You can give them good information and hook up a single squad and rack up some points that way. if you just want points, make sure you're giving your squads orders that they are already doing. Don't try to lead them, they probably won't listen anyway, if you see a squad heading or camping at A, give them orders to defend/attack A. promote them even.

Try to keep the team, if possible, heading towards the key objectives (or the ones that give you the cool toys). I found you can do it by putting UAVS there. People gravitate towards targets. UAVS light up targets.

Because they're sad little people. They have pathetic lives and think that being at the top of a video game leaderboard gives them some value for once in their pathetic lives.

Or they're miserable people that like to make other people miserable by ruining the game for them.

 
Could one of my friends here help me out. My son really wants Terraria and it is on super sale for $2.49 right now. Could one of you please purchase say 3 copies as gifts and then I will get you back when I get home on Saturday? He would be so happy if he could give a couple of copies to his good friends. Steam does not play well at all with Android. Even with the correct password, you cannot log in and do any buying.

Trying...not letting me add multiples to the cart, so trying to gift one to your acct and then see if I can get another and gift it to you.

edit: Done. I have all 3 in my gift inventory, let me know what accounts to send them to.

You are awesome. Send me your PayPal if you don't mind that way, via pm or FB.

Just came across this video, thought I'd share:

Battlefield 2142 Titan Tutorial

Hoping this mode comes back at some point, or something similar. Just watching the video makes me want to load 2142 back up and go play it.

Titan mode gameplay promo
So I guess the reason there was a lot of chatter about Titan mode is that the ship's name in the solo mission was the USS Titan. So the prevailing theory is that the Naval Strike Premium expansion pack will be basically Titan mode revisited for sea carriers. Lots of speculation, not going to list it all here, but that would be really cool.

 
I sent you PayPal for all three plus enough to get yourself a copy. Let me know you got it please. Sent it with mobile.

 
Sadly I have moved on from Battlefield 4. It was the first FPS I have been pumped up for in years and it just didn't hold up for me. I had been frustrated with many of the gameplay choices they made but I had a friend come over and test it out with me, because he has liked past Battlefields, but we just couldn't play a single game together. While running two consoles and two TVs one of us proceeded to have a total lock out freeze where we had to power down every game. Not once in 3 hours did we make it through. That was the last straw since it was literally unplayable for us. This was about a week ago and I am itching to get back in the BF4 fold but it's pure nostalgia at this point. :(

FWIW, doesn't feel that different on the Xbone from the 360. I've heard the 64 player games are great but I currently do not have any friends to play those game modes with. Will try it out this weekend.

 
I wish this game let you save a bunch of different loadouts, like COD does. A lot of gear in this game is kind of situational, and I don't want to waste time in the deploy screen tinkering with my kit when I know exactly what I want. For example, there are some dark spots where I'd really like a night vision or IR scope. I don't want to run with one all the time, but I'd like to have a "dark spot" loadout up and ready to go. Likewise an "anti-aircraft" or "anti-tank" loadout.

 
This game is pretty much putting the nail on the coffin of the franchise. It wasn't even close to being release ready and a lot of the decisions they made (no squading up outside of servers) were truly terrible.

Even more frustrating is a complete lack of acknowledgement from DICE that the problems exist. All they do is promise "we have some fixes in the works." Every other developer seems quick to acknowledge issues and communicate what fixes are coming. COD Ghosts released with major issues with spawning and they've not only acknowledged the issue, but put out several fixes and said that there are some more fine tuning coming. With DICE you never know if a problem is even being worked on. It could be fixed in a few weeks, or it might never even be addressed. That's infuriating.

I want to like the game. I see the potential for what it could be. But at this point it seems unlikely that they'll ever get it to that point.

I hope the graphics are at least better than the 360. I just got it yesterday and played a few rounds. Didn't experience any crashing but BF4 on the 360 seems like an unpolished version of BF3.

Gun mechanics seem mostly the same and fine but the graphics and lighting are terrible. The few maps I played I couldn't see the enemy players very well unless they were right in front of me.

Freeze issues have almost subsided it seems. Still had one freeze yesterday while in the midst of a round, but played several times over the weekend with no issues. Agreed the graphics seem to have taken a hit. And I am still not getting sound for a few of the maps for the first 20 seconds or so.

Dice has been communicating via their blog. They've been posting in Reddit in the various Battlefield specific subreddits (at least, their devs have been, not sure if they would be considered official responses).

Not excusing the broken state, or how long it's been taking to patch, but they haven't been silent about it. And it has been getting better.

Not sure about the "squad up" ahead of time, that must be a console thing, can you not select a server to join? Was this something that has been in previous BF games, and removed from this one?

He wants to be able to get in a squad and join a server en masse. This is apparently a COD feature. For us, it would lead to a lot of unbalanced teams (in terms of skill, not sheer numbers).

You're right that allowing squads would lead to some unbalanced matches, but right now it is very difficult to play this game with your friends. Your only chance is to hope that you can both join the same server (very unlikely as they fill up quickly) and get placed on the same team. That's almost impossible to orchestrate for 4-5 people.

I don't play a lot of shooters, but I've never seen one that literally goes out of its way to make it hard to play with your friends. That's just bizarre.

Maybe their Reddit stuff has been more detailed, but their blog info is sparse at best and they've virtually ignored their own official forums and Twitter feed.

And every single previous console version of Battlefield allows you to join your friends in a squad first and then jump into a server together. I very rarely remember it causing balance issues. It's virtually impossible to get into a server with friends without that. Maybe with 64 players it makes it easier or maybe most PC players just play alone, but it makes for a broken PS3 and 360 version if you want to play a game with your friends (which is bizarre since the core of the game is supposedly about working together).

:goodposting: speaking for XB360, you could "squad up" in the menus, then the squad leader could join a server (on the server search screen that actually worked) that had enough room for everyone, and it would keep your squad intact as you set it up

on BF4, all you seem to be able to do is try to join on friends who are already playing, and as someone said it's hard to find one playing on a server with an opening

Its much worse in PS3 I'd imagine because they don't even have party chat, and therefore have no idea what everyone else is doing. i.e. if one person joined a server that had open slots but it filled up quickly before his/her friends could join, the only way the friends can tell said person to leave and try another server is via typing out a message on PSN with their controller, which is a massive pia. Said person then has to stop their play, go into the PS home screen, and open the message. The whole thing is idiotic.

Played a bunch last night to get to LVL10 so I could play around with the Commander app on my tablet. Had no freezing issues at all. Game played fine and enjoyed it.

Very rusty since I didn't know the maps and haven't played BF in a very long time but it's starting to come back. Had a few pretty sweet BF moments. Game is still fun.

 
Wish I had more time to play this game. This 2X XP week would be great to open lots of weapons, and I am not playing at all. :(

Makes sense. There are times it takes maybe half a round on PC to get everyone into the same map, but the friend mechanism for PC seems to be pretty good (as far as joining you on your friend, squading you up, etc.) There are plenty of times 3+ people join a map that 1 or 2 will end up on the other team, but we just watch the scoreboard and switch as the openings present. Besides, in that case it's fun to go looking to kill your buddies ;P

But ya, sounds a bit more cumbersome on console, and a feature I'd never heard of, don't think they've ever had it in the PC version.

 
FYI - RonSwanson06 = Newt Gingritch here (I think that's what he said, was on a server with him briefly.) Speaking of which, I tried Air Superiority...yah, 0-10 later, I quit. Ugh, so bad at flying.

I'm the other fat sack of ####, lol.

Air superiority is horrible. I finally got my 3 ribbons for the UCAV. Never again.

ETA: I spent 10 hours getting the 3 ribbons, it murdered my KD ratio.

Oh, and what is the voice chat server info you guys are using? I'm assuming the original post info is outdated with a last update time of 2011.

Not much talk about the new maps, but so far I like them. Each has its own personality and I am liking them.

I thought we would be getting new weapons, but I haven't seen anything yet. The leveling up is ridiculous with the double XP crap. I go up a level about every 2 rounds it seems.

We did get new weapons. They just accidentally released them too early. The L85, MTAR, RPK 74, MP7 and L96 were part of the DLC. I think there's 1 or 2 new gadgets as well.

The double xp is stupid, but whatever. You can get any weapon you want if you just concentrate on it for a day or 2, so who cares.

False. 37,000 points and such is not a quick endeavor for most people I think. Especially when it has to be focused in one class.

I guess it just depends on your play style. But other than the sniper rifles or pistols, I gotta think any competent player could do that in a couple of nights on domination or TDM (or even conquest if they play mostly smaller maps) without much of a problem.

100 points per kill plus all the potential bonuses (headshots, savior, avenger, etc) and it adds up pretty quick.

On consoles, it's a pain to play the new maps because we have to use the crummy server browser instead of Quick Match. I'm hoping to give them a go tonight.

Don't know why you'd complain about the server browser. It's not like sorting is impossible and you have to scroll down through 100 full servers to get to a server with open spots....oh wait.

Doh...sorry, I forgot to come post and then I wasn't positive. I might try the map that is all helis, but planning to stay outta the jet maps. I've heard you can get the 3 ribbons in regular servers as well, just harder to get a jet or heli.
