I think they made them that way cause they want more people to use the stingers. Play as a team. Thats all nice in theory but in real life rarely ever works out.

That reminds me, is there no way to start a party chat without having to press to talk? When you have to use steam to team chat in BF4, theres problems.

Funny enough, I've had the game lock up on me twice today for the first time ever.
And what's with this obsession with PunkBuster? When has the shit program ever not been janky?

They should make it so that if the building goes down, the point disappears as well. Like that theyd have a reason to not shoot it down right when the game starts. It doesn't last 2 minutes anymore.

They need two extra pillars in the lobby - free from tanks.
I think this would work. Require C4 or tons of RPGs. Then there could be some battle there before the tower eventually falls.
I like this.

Pretty amazing montage by jackfrags, could be confused for an official DICE trailer.
Can't wait to get home in a few days to play this on PC. It's pretty damn rough on 360.

The game runs pretty damn good on my HD7870 with everything on high. I played a bit of it tonight; definitely feels like a BF3 expansion pack.
Badass! Argh wish I could go home and play all night. I laughed at the anti-climactic "last man in squad" -> roadkill shot

Definitely.
Been playing the PC, 360 and PS3 versions of the beta. Looks like someone smeared oatmeal all over my screen whenever I play the console versions.

Especially after the skyscraper goes down. The game just looks like its missing a ton a textures with all the grey everywhere. Terrible.
Its a shame cause i find BF3 on 360 holds up pretty well to its PC counterpart compared to BF4.

Yeah, like I said before in this thread, I think it's because this beta doesn't have the HD texture pack that BF3 has. I'm sure once the final game ships, DICE will do the same thing again.

Yeah maybe, but I still found the game blurrier than BF3 was on consoles.
Point going down would be interesting, but still wouldn't stop me from dropping the damn thing.
RS4- said:
This is what would get me to stop dropping the building. More alternate routes (and preventing "sniper" campers from being on buildings NOT able to be accessed from the ground.
They need more ladders and stairs and other shit. Probably not possible without bloating up map sizes to do it, but goddamn it it's so annoying being an infantry person on this map.

how do you drop the building?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Inflict damage to the pillars surrounding it.
Speaking of, new record broken: dropped when the losing team was on only 720 tickets. Ggggggggggggreat.
I've jumped into a server where the match wasn't even 20 tickets in and it had already dropped.
It's a high explosive tragedy of the commons.
our avatars play off each other so well

Yeah, I actually prefer having the building up. Bringing down the tower seems to also lower my FPS even more as well. Definitely need a CPU upgrade sooner rather than later.
Not to mention the map turns into a Zzzzzfest if they collapse the tower (my opinion)
It is quite the opposite. Map is boring with the tower up since the entire team who owns it camps the C point because I guess waiting for elevators to come up and shooting into them is a lot of fun or something.
man thats good. pumps me up and its only from one map.

What's nice about the skyscraper is that it makes it easier to get on top of other nearby buildings, and if people are camping the elevator you can of course just bring the whole thing down if you want or you can also use the Helicopters to get the enemies on top of the building. Not to mention if dozens of people actually are camping the elevators you can just cap the other points since they would be wasting their time on the building anyway. Personally I've rarely experienced much camping on the skyscraper's elevators (then again I haven't played all that much of the beta).
I just find the map to be more interesting and less crappy looking when the skyscraper isn't down.
Quick Edit: Actually, doesn't the skyscraper point give a commander cruise missiles to use?

Has the new patch fixed the performance issues?
didnt fix stuttering for me. no increase in performance either. just played a game that was a complete roof camp fest...from both sides -_-. what a huge difference a good squad/team makes in the experience of the game.

So sick of getting disconnected just before the end of a long ass match. Lost 10k points and a bunch of unlocks due to this stupid ass way they only save afterward.

Simply cd keys has the the game and premium for £55best price anywhere by a long distance
http://www.simplycdkeys.com/origin/battlefield-4-battlefield-4-premium-service-dlc-bundle
Hmmmm they seem to say COUNTRY INVALID when I try to sign up with a United States address so I guess simplycdkeys is out....
Well since you get the first map pack with the pre-order and the second map pack might not be very good you might have a good amount of time to wait for a sale on Premium. With BF3 it wasn't long before a GMG coupon code worked on Premium, but that might not be the case this time. Who knows.

I was thinking something like that. More floors (even one more) so the opposite team doesn't to sure where to wait. And I was thinking, that even when they were "teleporters" make them more real. That has some kind of cycle. The elevator could go up and down automatically. And the door were closed when the elevator is not in that floor. One of the problems now is that when door closes everybody goes into camp position.
