Battlefield 4 |OT2| Is it fixed yet?
- Thread starter Overdoziz
- Start date
Full Transport (6) plus scout (3?)
But yeah, I just learned it's anti-air properties this past month when I barely touched it or the other rocket pick-up over the months. I generally stuck with the USAS or one-hit sniper.

5 in the transport, and 4 in the scout. Abandoned jet over the train cap, capped the train, and ran to the HVM. Too bad I wasn't recording, it was a really great sequence of events.

HVM-II is the omega-stinger. instakills anything and everything in one hit.
Ground vehicles, it's very... not desirable. On air? It's good, but you only have two shots so you have to somehow make them pop without firing. A lot of pro-pilots know the "lock/fire" sound now a days to where getting them to pop-flares instantly isn't a doable thing.
I still haven't found much use for the dumbfire pick-up.

just fire it towards something, redirect it towards a ground vehicle, redirect it again towards the chopper after the flares are gone!
You don't even have to redirect it, just keep tracking the helicopter as you normally would while waiting for the countermeasures to finish. Make sure not to lock onto the deployed flares though.
So wait... aim somewhere else away from the flares to get around the counter-measures with it? Because I think even tracking the helicopters while scoped with it would auto-lock-complete on the flares, yeah?

With a single fire mode.
Aim off-centre while the flares are deploying to avoid locking onto the flares (I'll aim a few yards in front of the direction the helicopter is flying in to do this). Once the flares are gone, centre your reticle on the helicopter again. If they're using ECM, just maintain your reticle on the target until ECM ends.
Welcome to the suck.
Wait until you have to unlock snipers. I'm so glad I did those during 2XP week at launch.
Ugh, makes me not want to play. Anyone know the "best" early assualt rifle I should be trying to unlock?
F2000!
Also play the singleplayer to get the M249 and FN P90 for PDW/LMG unlocking.
Though the starting guns aren't bad. Did work with the U-100 last night.
this is odd, I had no problem unlocking guns faster than I wanted them. Have you looked at what you need to do to unlock the next gun? Look at assignments too. I find that lower ranks will get XP pretty fast when you mix up your gameplay style and start getting more ribbons. I love this about the game, it promotes testing new styles of play rather than promoting camping.
The M416 is really good and I think that's the 3rd one you get, the SCAR is good too. Don't worry too much about all the weapons you can unlock. Early weapons are very competitive in this game and some of the late weapons can be really bad.
Both. If it says in a round, it's in a round. If it says nothing about in a round, it's life-time.
Guess it's less the weapon and more the sights that piss me off.
Should I be rocking the scar on single shot or full auto?
Figured.
Except for that ooooooonnnnnnneeeee time that single shot let you pickoff that one idiot sniper who doesn't move and can't aim.

Stop playing Dawnbreaker, that's your problem right there!
The SCAR-H is so good it was banned in e-sports tournaments, use it.
And then the rest of the time where you're like "SHIT WHY ISN'T IT FIR--*death*" because the game remembers single-fire as your "fire mode" on spawn.

NO U.
I would if people would take it out of rotation. No Naval Strike or Second Assault. WHY.jpg

Paracel storm

Am I the only one that likes Dawnbreaker? People camping on the buildings can be annoying but it doesn't detract from the map IMO (unless the whole enemy team is doing it!).
I like all the Vanilla maps, Hainan and Lancang are the worst ones IMO, maybe because how laggy they used to be?
I used to love Paracel, but I kinda grew tired of it. When I play Paracel I just stay on the A and B flags and hope that the enemy team prioritize those flags (which they will if they know what they are doing.)
That's not Gulf of Oman.
Yeah, the Desert Eagle is a little insane. It needs more recoil or bullet drop or something. It's pretty crazy as it is right now.

Get Premium and call it a day. But if you must choose between the two, Naval Strike easily.
Second Assault is maps you've probably already played from BF3, not to mention that most of them are 'inferior' versions (unplayable 64 player Metro, and sandstorm 'can't see shit' Firestorm and Oman).
Sorry guys, I kept losing connection and got tired of re-joining the server over and over
It sucks because we had good opposition, hopefully you guys win.
I'm getting 1 bar on all servers tonight, don't know what's happening... :-(
We lost that Golmud game by a hundred tickets. The other team had 2 squads going around on jeeps capturing E,D and G the whole game. It's an annoying tactic but it works. No matter how many times I captured those flags they would get then as soon as I left.
I tried doing the same, but the little bird killed me 2 times, and their jeep squads gang banged me on the others! Lol!
Those guys were coordinated.
After you left I thought we would get demolished on Op. Locker, we even got spawn trapped once. Most gaffers left but we had an amazing comeback! I still managed to get the MVP pin even with my shitty 1 bar connection! Lol!
Honestly, the sandstorm isn't the problem with Oman. It's the first set redesign.
"So Javelin's were a problem in BF3. How do we fix this first set?"
"I KNOW! LET'S PUT THE ATTACKERS IN THE WATER WITH SLOW MOVING AMTRAC AND BOATS THAT CAN BE JAVELIN'D STILL!"
"BRILLIANT!" (DICE lights the blunts)
(Still a great map and the sandstorm should blow over in longer matches to where it goes back to being VERY pretty again. But I'm immensely disappointed with the Rush variant. It was fine with a few issues in BF3. But... :|)

at first i was like "first set? what is he talking about" and then i remembered this game even had the Rush game mode. Sad to see it being reduced to one of the less though out modes.
Hopefully the next annual Battlefield will be Bad Company 3 and it will be the main focus again ;D
