Planes on the ground you say? I think this guy is lost. Also I love tank drivers that are scared of infantry. Come back, I want to give you a blowtorch hug!

Hello. I've never played battlefield before and my friends have convinced me to get it for the xbone. We're all COD'd out so we've decided to try something different for the summer (plus Ghosts is a big pile of meh). Any pointers for gear, weapons, stuff I should unlock first or how to unlock vehicle stuff or whatevs? I'll hang up and listen.

Netcode patch coming out this week.commy gun posted:Hello. I've never played battlefield before and my friends have convinced me to get it for the xbone. We're all COD'd out so we've decided to try something different for the summer (plus Ghosts is a big pile of meh). Never abandon armor - the enemy will steal it. Steal enemy armor. Don't blow it up. They don't get it back if you have it. Shooting your gun makes you show up on the minimap. If your tank/lav driver is trying to be stealthy and you're firing the 50 cal, he will hate you. If you are driving an LAV or Tank, you should check your start menu minimap every 30 seconds or so. You'll survive a lot longer if you know what's coming at you. Other then that, AK-5C is probably the best weapon. I don't know, infantry play is dead to me. Long live LAV. Raskolnikov2089 fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Jun 4, 2014 |

There aren't really any "must-have" unlocks for the infantry kits, but don't play Recon until you've unlocked Carbines through the Engineer kit, because if you use a sniper rifle I will stab you.

Most importantly: capture objectives and play as a team. 1 cooperative teammate is worth 50 uncooperative ones.

sbaldrick posted:So did private servers get fixed as I quick matched into a 24/7 locker server today They've been that way since they went live. As long as you don't mix the map rotations it counts as an official server. I thought I saw someone make a post about this but I can't find it. Basically if someone quick joins a vanilla conquest game, they won't get kicked when the next map is from a DLC set.

Each map pack is like 4 gigabytes that you buy.(ps4) I don't think the patches would give you the map pack data that you need. I assume you mean someone that doesn't own any map packs.

commy gun posted:Hello. I've never played battlefield before and my friends have convinced me to get it for the xbone. We're all COD'd out so we've decided to try something different for the summer (plus Ghosts is a big pile of meh). Use the shooting/test range to learn to fly, rather than slamming your helo into the ground mid game the first few times. You can also use it to get a feel for the other vehicles and guns/attachments, but that's less important than learning how not to slam a transport chopper into the ground, accidentally tking your squad. Echoing the armour sentiment, avoid bailing out of a tank/lav/helicopter unless it's definitely buggered. Better to go down with the ship, because smart bastards will steal and repair those vehicles, and they won't respawn for you 'til you take 'em out. If you're assault/medic, or support, throw the health/ammo packs around like candy, especially just out of the firing line of a major choke point/contested area, and watch the points rack up. Press the spot button. In softcore, it makes doritos appear above enemies, and even if you don't kill 'em, you get points when someone else does. And points mean prizes! For unlocking gun attachments, team deathmatch or domination are useful (no tanks to ruin your assault rifle killing sprees), and to some degree rush (although it does feature vehicles on various stages). Everyone plays differently (some prefer vehicles, others infantry, some like stabbin folks and some like running around with a handgun as their primary), so you'll probably find your niche playstyle after a few rounds. Whatever game mode you play, play the objective.

We're all COD'd out so we've decided to try something different for the summer (plus Ghosts is a big pile of meh). If nothing else, make sure carbines are the first gun you unlock, they make the non-assault classes much more versatile and are easy to get. For the most part though you don't need to worry about unlocking guns, the starter weapons for each class are generally solid at what they do. The starter LMG is kind of not that great, but you get a better one pretty soon if you use them. Also weapon unlocks are not in the same unlock path as the gear a class can get, you have to get points with the weapon class specifically to unlock more of them, and the game only counts the points for damaging people with them for unlocking weapons. Basically any points you get from a kill, including bonuses from defending an objective or headshots. So if you want to unlock guns fast play the objective and stick with your squad, you get a lot more points that way. ambient oatmeal fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Jun 4, 2014 |

No matter how many times I try to fly, I always slam into the ground. I will never be a skylord.

Still no ability to rent servers, but it will be nice to have a chance to duck behind cover instead of being instantly killed as usual.

I'm confused. Some 64 player servers and all 48? Does that mean servers less than 48? I'm not finding any 48 man PS4 servers right now and I just want to guarantee I see this new net code.

I had some really good games the past few days, as far as points and kills go, but man I wish more people used the spot button and maybe paid attention to what was going on. Our team was getting screwed on Locker and so I went all the way behind the enemy and secured the far objective, then killed and died numerous times holding it, while nobody on my team ever loving spawned back there, until finally we lost. I joined the 360 Platoon, but I don't know if it's rude to send friend requests to members or what? I'd like to play with some people who are willing to communicate and work together. Bueller...Bueller...

War Thunder is pretty fun if you can get past the miserable menu system, but at least you can use the touch pad on the ps4 controller as a mouse. I downloaded it to see if it had fun dogfights with actual physics so they aren't just flying in circles like in bf4, but it's actually pretty fun on it's own. It's also fun playing with a sqaud mate since they show up as green so you can easily find them, and teaming up to take out other fighters together it great.

I wish we could get it up here, but Google hates Pennsylvania apparently. I finally convinced the fiancee that our internet was in dire need of an upgrade and I'm pretty happy with what we have now. Going from a DSL connection 1Mbps down AND up to a cable connection of 30Mbps down and 6Mbps up is beyond night and day. I have no idea how I've played multiplayer games with the former connection for as long as I have.

Jackfrags has a pleasant british accent if you prefer that, and in my opinion sounds like he has more honost opinions about battlefield than just "this is broken bu the rest of the game is the best thing ever, DICE can I have your babies". They also play together a lot and thus will often release videos within days of each other of the same exact news.

I played about 5 games last night with high frequency network set to HIGH and either I was having a bad night or it just showed me how lovely I actually am at the game. There was less mutual kills/killed by the guy I just domed and already got the kill message for, though. And seemingly less deaths while running into cover. I'm on 100mbit cable (with something atrocious like 5mbit upload) so I might fiddle with it and see if there's a difference. Is network smoothing still suggested to be set to zero?

Also, mineaiki wont accept my friend request and he's making me have to put more effort into EOD botting because he's second in humiliation kills and EOD kills across all 5 platforms and i cant lose first place.

Setting the network update thing to high results in constant disconnections, so dropped it down to medium and: I'm still getting shot through walls, can't hit anything, and ugh gently caress this game  .Go and play one round of BF3, and it's a world apart: the guns are like goddamn lasers, knifing isn't janky, and actual fun is still to be had.
