Manatee Cannon posted:Eh, I'd rather have people to play with for a game like Battlefield. I plan on getting a PS4 when I have the money and BF4 with it, then probably get Hardline on PC for when I feel like playing with a mouse. If I never planned on playing on console again I wouldn't post in this thread, but until then I'll just stick to playing BF4 at a friend's house occasionally and BF3 at my own. I post more because I might get one in the future, not BF4, but maybe further down the line and I love my xbros and a lot of the posters in this thread. I just want to keep in touch and a lot of our experiences are pretty comparable now with player counts being the same.

thenicko33 posted:Tanking 101, never push for contested flags with little to no infantry support. The man speaks truth. If a flag you're capping solo stops capping or starts reversing and you can't tell where the baddies are hiding, get your armor out of there. There's no point in dying on a flag you can't cap. The enemy team will move on 1-2 minutes after they re-cap, go back and contest the flag then.

Yesterday was fun when I just hopped into an AA on a whim at the start of a round and went like 20-1 or something just shooting down the ac130. normally don;t do that but it was making me giggle every time the thing blew up and 3 people would die.

The most fun. Let the enemy have the ac130 flag, then murder them everytime they spawn into it.

BUTT Clan is now an official BF4 platoon, bad players only. Please include an example of how much you suck when you submit your application. Have an MLG dub step montage showing how bad we are. Check those sick 360 no-scope transitions brah! BUTT Clan Sux I'm not really sure what happens in this clip. I got a roadkill but nobody is there. Either an enemy just spawned in right as I drove by or ghosts are the secret fifth class.

Random question regarding weapon balances,etc. As mentioned before I play mainly support. I like the idea of picking a spot to cover and shooting the mans that come in it. That being said, me shooting in controlled bursts seem to suck and I don't kill a loving thing. Now I'd like to think I am aiming center mass, adjusting for recoil and all but still I get two bursts off and then I get killed by some Engineer with an MP5 with 2 HP left. Do I suck or is there some nuance to the guns I am missing ?

I don't move and shoot with LMGs, I get that they are supposed to be stationary/fixed for the most part.

I was bipoded up with a 249 laying down steady suppressing fire the other night and I still had recons walk directly into my hail of bullets only to one shot me with DMRs and poo poo then walk away with like 5 health so YMMV. I'm somehow terrible at this game even though I spent forever in BF3 and I only just got back in cause of the premium sale. I pretty much just roll with the AK5C for everything but assault. v v

If you're still trying to figure recoil management in this game, start easy. Use the LSAT with a stubby grip and kill everything that comes into your line of sight. The trick with lmg's is figuring out what sort of range you, personally, can be effective with. For example, I pretty much tear it up with the AWS up to about 100 meters, but beyond that I don't expect to get many kills. If I'm 150 meters or more from the bad guys, I'll just use the ucav or take potshots for suppression to support my squadmates. I suppose I should add that I'm an AWS whore according to the stats site, and :HUMBLEBRAG: I'm number one on consoles with that gun by kill count. Support is really fun if you can get used to playing with a really huge mag assault rifle. I play really aggressively as support, which is probably why my k/d is still below 1 with 280 hours in the game. Join BUTT clan if you want to have the supreme PS4ce experience.

There's a free week-long trial of BF4 on origin, I'm not sure if that's a week of actual game time, or just a week to play as much as possible. Either way the trial only starts the first time you start the game up. Come see how awful Locker is.

Even if I was playing an absurd amount of the game, 168 hours would still be at least 2-3 months. That'd be a pretty crazy thing to offer for free, though I certainly wouldn't complain if that turns out to be the case (it won't). edit: ugh it's like $50 for the game and premium. I'm already downloading the trial, and that download was a big part of why I avoided buying it so this is tempting. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Aug 8, 2014 |
