Official Battlefield 4 Thread

Give it a shot, you play a lot different than the next guy. Lots of people swore the M416 was the best gun in BF3 with a RDS, grip and HeavyBarrel. For me a vanilla, iron sight AEK was the beast!

In BF4 I use the HB more often than not and have yet to find it over/under-powered in any way that is not caused by a mad mix of attachments or good gun logic.

Snipers have a decent upper hand for scope glare to be a necessity. Besides the best snipers are active snipers and use lower-mag scopes.

Oh i'm an active sniper never stay in the same spot after a kill but scope glare was not adjusted at all and i normally play with a times 4 acog seeing as it has no glare
 
Anyone struggled to connect last night? I would connect but not be able to spawn
There was a message on battlelog this morning saying they were looking into the spawning, so I presume its that. Message is gone now, so probably fixed. Probably, never know with DICE.
 
So is PB PunkBuster, and how would one go about updating thusly?

Hey dude!

Go google PunkBuster and go to their official site.
Download the official punkbuster client updater (on the site of course)
Proceed to install it.
When you run it the first time, it will ask you to add the game you're using PB with.
Add BF4 from the dropdown list.
Select > check for update.
Let it update.
You're done :)

Whenever you have connectivity issues (and your line is fine) always update the punkbuster client and related game files on your PC. I've found that it sorts out issues 7 times out of 10.

Thanks, will check it out. Last night was the first time I had real issues though.

I had the spawn bug last night. It wouldn't let me spawn at all but at the time, I wasn't aware of the bug. I waited a bit trying to figure out what was wrong and then all of a sudden there was a timer on the spawn button.

Looks like it has been resolved now though. Having some great games using the PBS-4 Suppressor on the AEK. Might be a placebo effect, but the recoil does seem to be more manageable if anyone has issues with it. It also sounds great with it on.
 
How do you get a reflection in a completely black room or or in a building with no windows and only one door and there is barely light :p

Such a valid point haha.

There's a server I've been playing on recently. It's a hardcore bolt action snipers only server.

Been running with the M98B with iron sights and the laser sight. After 2 and a half hours, I've jumped up by 230 kills. The server is a lot of fun and you get auto kicked for using any other weapon which is great.

There is no punishing for team kills, which to a degree, I can understand due to nameplates not always showing up instantly. If you're into that type of aggressive recon, I would recommend it.

Really helped to get my eye in in terms of quick scoping (with iron sights :p).
 
Can't play currently, a tree branch fell onto our phone line, so no internet til telkom come to repair it. Which might only be next year...

Ducky old buddy old pal can you get me the name of that server please m8

And yeah about the name plates that is also one thing they should fix about the game cos on sometimes i don't know if i should shoot at another player or not because the delay on the name plate sucks donkey balls and it's caused me a few deaths :(

From my awesomeness. When I peak in that direction, my awesomeness lights up every scope in the area. Anybody who doesn't play with a 4x/+ scope get granted a good share of awesomeness to help them light up the darkness these campers bring to our Battlefield :P

That sounds absolutely horrible. What's the name of that server, for erm, research purposes.
