I've seen Sankersizzle and scott playing PS3 BF4. I haven't played since the beta and I think Chalupa Joe is on PC now, but everyone else must be on PS4 by now.

I am, and I hate it: Knifing is broken as gently caress, I keep getting shot through walls and the only maps everyone ever plays are Locker or Metro... I also got kicked from a flood zone server last night for using the airburst on the admins, who were sniping from a rooftop :negative:

Whenever :dice: FIX THE drat GAME release a Premium version with all the dlc (or christmas comes, or whatever) I'll move to PS4.

I'm not, it's :dice: all the way down. But console has the "buddies talking about random poo poo" feature built in, which apparently is also in the PC version, except no one uses it in favour of farting about with Teamspeak/Mumble like it's nineteen loving ninety seven still... At the moment I'm mostly just playing the commander app anyway.

Yeah but Xbros have to deal with all of the horrible people that configured their Kinects improperly so that you have to listen to 7 years olds fighting over a dead rat while babies wail in the background Then you hear the guy sleeping on the couch farting in a cavern. Oh, and you get to listen to all of the sounds you previously heard a second earlier again. Well, at least on 360. Did they make the Kinect any better for the Bone?

Are you for real complaining about having to double click a thing to talk to people? I get some of the complaints about PC stuff, and I won't pretend some things aren't annoying, but mumble is painless after you spend ten seconds setting it up and the conversation is more or less the exact same stuff as I experienced on Xbox.

I've finally started playing support and I unlocked the mortar. Decided to test it outside on Locker and was lobbing rounds an entire round getting tons of hit markers but no kills other than "assist counts as kill" s. At the end of the round though, I check the score board and I have 20 kills. Anybody have this
happen too?

Also my LMG bipod never ever deploys when I lie down.

I saw a hilarious bug for that game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOsqMJlegIc&hd=1) that seemed like it would be fun to gently caress around with until they patch it out, the only downside is you'd need to become a pc sperglord to experience it. So probably not worth the risk..

Assist counts as kill is exactly what it sounds like, it gives you kill credit even if it doesn't show up on screen with the name of the guy you killed, it's much nicer than getting assists of 99 or 100 in BF3. The mortar does that anyway, i dont think you can get a 1 hit kill even if you land it on the guys head, you have to do 2 shots on the location to get a kill.

Bipods are a liability I've found, they dont deploy when you want them to, and do deploy at the worst possible times. Just use the stubby grip, especially if you use the RPK-12, the best LMG.

I'm quite certain I've gotten some Mortar multikills; I've also been one-shot-killed by mortar once or thrice, but you do pretty much need to drop the shell right on the target's face; the drop-off is pretty sharp for the mortar's splash damage.

Teaming up a mortar team with a Recon running with MAVs and well-hidden TUGSs is fantastic fun. I did that with some Goons a couple days ago on Locker, and despite having one kill (MAV + dorito C4 :getin: ) and a passel of deaths, I was in the top three on my team from spot assist points.

Bipods are extremely situational; I will equip them if I'm expecting to be able to overwatch a kill zone more often than not (e. g. Metro, some areas in Dawnbreaker), but most of the time, rocking a Potato or Stub grip is where it's at for LMGs.

I really think this was a dumb buff. If anything it should be nerfed. Lately I've been running the Atlas chassis but I might switch back to the Stryder so I can dash away if it proves to be really loving annoying.

Also, the Ogre is a piece of poo poo. Too slow, only one dash that takes forever to recharge without the quick recharger, and it's really loving ugly. The shield core is poo poo compared to the Styder's ability to dance all day and the Atlas's ability to dunk on everything with damage core (you ever tried Atlas with core accelerator? Really bad loving news for other Titans).

I played around with an ogre dash quickcharger build. Wasn't worth it. Only thing an ogre is good for is long range railgun sniping on LTS.

Try the strider with dash quickcharger. Unless it's a team that really has its poo poo together, you can stay alive be a long time.

I tried stryder with the dash recharger and I kind of thought it was a bit redundant. With three dashes, plus dash core I kind of felt it wasn't really optimal, so I usually use the regen booster so that way you can get shields recharging quicker as you're dancing around.

Wasn't the buff to nuclear eject just visual to match the actual damage it did already?

Atlas with core accelerator is my jam. You can use damage core so often I manage to avoid the "well I should save it in case..." mindset.

Not looking forward to gen 9, you need to get ogre executions. Going to eat so many nuclear ejects with that single dash. It's easy with 3 (or even 2) to dash in for the execute and then back out it they are nuking, but I guess with the ogre I'll have to use big punch and save my dash for a get away.

I hit fiddy sometime last week and I haven't bothered doing the regening stuff. my only concern is that I'll eventually stop earning burn cards if I don't regen at some point.

According to the patch notes on the Titanfall website, it was a damage buff.

Nuclear Eject - Now does more damage against Titans. Previously an Atlas with full health could survive a close range Nuclear Ejection. Given the long "tell" that Nuclear Eject has, we decided it is appropriate for it to decimate Titans that are within the blast radius.
