So I am dumb and played some of the campaign. When I went to look today, all my campaign progress from the last day or so is gone. Is this normal? Is it ever coming back?

Ahahaha. Oh my god I can't believe they haven't fixed this. What a ridiculous level of negligence. Why fix it I guess it's just a little bug that makes our single player campaign unplayable.

I straight up played through it in one sitting because I didn't trust that it wouldn't erase my save for the 4th time.

I just wish I would join a squad and have some people that use their mics. I don't think I've encountered anyone that uses one. Would make working as a team a lot more effective.

I like the concept of squad play and mics team work, but organizing and playing with people just reeks of effort I'm too cool for.

I want it to happen organically, when it does it's great; you and some stranger tank crew through the level like golden gods.

Afterwards they send a friend request and ruin it. We both did what was appropriate, we don't need to know each or make a big deal of it.

I used to be able to get this pretty regularly on BF3 for the 360; you could search servers for the word "mic" or "mics only" and a bunch would pop up for voice chat users. That doesn't seem to be the case in 4 though (probably because everyone now has the little speaker symbol next to their name now regardless of whether or not they're mic'd).

You want to play with people who work together and talk to you, but your crippling asperger's won't let you use the website and play with goons. Must be tough. :(

It's really hard on the PS4 to play with people. You gotta start the system, go to the party screen, and then select which party you want to join that your friends are in.

Yeah I miss playing with the euro goons in the morning since I got put back on second shift. Still better than Midnights though, I just have to turn on the ps4 while some goons are still playing. I keep showing up at like 2am central and nobody is online anymore. If you see a party going for a game you wanna play just join it and make friends, most everybody is pretty chill and fun to play with.

Fateo McMurray

Parties (at least when I make them) are joinable by any friend of anyone in the party. Just join. We're cool. Seems like a lot of new people join then leave soon after without saying anything. Don't be like those dinguses.

Yeah we promise to not make fun of you until after you leave. It would help if people named their parties better based on what they are playing though. Either way it's leagues better than playing by yourself.

I have no problem joining a party, then if I then see they're not playing the game I want to play I'll belittle their game choice before moving on. That'll teach them to be playing battlefield when I want to shankmans in last of us.

Probably just better to add people off the stats site. None of the platoons are very serious or frequented especially BUTT. Then just join a few goon parties and add people and eventually you will have someone to play with pretty much 24/7.

Yeah, when this happens, I'll usually accept the friend request to make them happy then delete it the next day. This also surprisingly happens very often with Latino dudes. It would seem that talking in broken Spanish about your small penis whenever you hear people talking Spanish in their mics is a very good strategy at getting a whole load of Latino PSN friends.

Our communally funded ps4 server isn't used much at all either. Maybe we should rename it? Aspergers Central doesn't have the same draw as the old Nerd Slaughterhouse on 360

I'm guilty of joining squads, and it's usually full of loud Canadians/Americans/Arabs. Which is interesting, because for me they are my serious favourite countries. Canada has underground mega-malls, that actually heat up the cities above, and they're probably pretty important cities. America has robust home security measures. Arabs have the best hummus and sweet curvy swords.

Guys. Also keyboard vomit.

The hero of all ages
I've just about done all of the Dragon's Floss assignments. All I need is the Killjoy dog tag and winning a Chainlink match when the other team has less than 50 tickets left or whatever is going to take a while.

The assignments that have you use different weapons are the most fun though. I wouldn't know how deadly the Assault's flechette darts are otherwise.

I think I'll move onto Naval Strike next.

I was on a map and getting curb stomped by a bunch of people from the same clan. They did huge zerg rushes and I just mortared the hell out of them. Was my best K/D R to date, something like 38 kills and 5 deaths. I love mortars, its my favorite gadget

Do you have the UCAV unlocked or have access to it? It's more fun and satisfying to see the people you're blowing up. Plus it makes a cool sound.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm new to BF4 and also to FPS in general. Are there any good guides, tutorials, youtube vids, etc. that I should check out? (to give you an example, before reading about turning controller sensitivity down, I did not know that that was a thing and just assumed that I was the worst aimer in the world).

Also, I hear a lot about the importance of teamwork and sticking with your squad (I assume your squad is represented in green in the game), yet I rarely see people do that. Almost always, the people in my squad take off in different directions, and I feel like I'm lone wolfing it more than I'd like. Am I missing something?


Last, I'd still love to play with some goons. I registered with the BF goon platoon, and even sent our some friend requests to folks. I've been dealing with some technical issues (not being able to get on PSN for about 3 or 4 days, then my PS4 dying yesterday and having to be replaced) and haven't really gotten to squad up with anybody on here. So, while I did read the OP and go through the whole protocol of joining the platoon, any PS4 goons, please hit me up with a friend request or invite me to your squad or whatever. I'd greatly appreciate it. PSN: genkun

It's going to interesting until you get some twitch memory. Like being good at lovely bar tricks and other "talents", you're sometimes going up against douchebags who've been playing FPS games since Goldeneye and flippin quarters into shotglasses since Nirvana.

I would suggest you add a message to your invite. I typically add "PS4 Goon" or something so the person doesn't assume it's a person they may have run into in a server.

Aslo people rarely seem to work as a squad. If you switch mid game to the highest scoring squad that might help.
