Except for the minor point that the L85A2 is the best gun in the game...

Matter of opinion, some prefer it over the ace but the L85 is part of the DLC anyway so not the original game.

Symthic didn't have the stats for the L85A2 so I can't say for sure. I did think the L85 might be the better gin and I tried it for about 300 kills but when I went back to the ACE23 I did better with that. Really there is not much in it but the L85 reload is definitely worse and for that reason the ACE23 wins for me.

Haven't played much since China rising. Sort of burnt out from too much playing on release and now too busy to get much game time in. Will have to give it another blast later in the week.

If this was serious, you cannot make a server. They never released the server stuff to us puny consumers. You need to rent a server from an approved partner.

I did find some chatter that the server files had been leaked, I couldn't find them myself. However I also heard those people that did manage to put their own server up there were getting accounts banned and such like. It was all on random forums so could have been total BS.

"Fix for Asian users unable to start Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 on Windows 8.1 " - That's funny. I'm pretty sure that not long ago I read something about them banning/wanting to ban the game in China! It was to do with the Chinese government being against the China Rising DLC or something like that. Does anyone know anything about that? Why is it only Asian users that have that problem.. Sounds suspicious..

I haven't played BF4 for ages either. It was weeks before China Rising came out that I actually played it last I think. I'm going to treat BF games like I treat nearly all other games now - give it a while to be patched into a good state before playing it!

Not really, last time I saw a map China!=Asia

[Biscuit]

I think Dice have got the game to a pretty stable level now. I havent had any really bad problems since they fixed the SLI problem.

Yes. China is in Asia. What's your point?

[kalniel]

I think he means that Asia is more than just China. What happens in China is of little relevance when DICE are talking about other countries in Asia where they actually sell the game. They don't sell the game in China (which made the Chinese ban on it a little amusing, but I guess they banned people from importing).

Has anyone tried the game after the latest patch?
I saw an article somewhere saying that it had completely broken the game...
As in, you got no points for killing people, horrible lag and when you died, you had to change server.

Ive not played in a while and I want to know if its worth taking hours out of my day to download the patch

Well, i installed and tried it for the first time yesterday. So i've missed much of the early issues.
Have to say though the few hours i played were without issue.

Was probably just a sensationalist article then
I really should get back to playing it after I spent £30 getting premium, haha.
ive only played like 3 times since then

The New server patch caused issues with punk buster that are easily fixed by manually updating it. Doesn't appear to affect everyone though.

And yes, I was pointing out that there's a lot more in Asia than china
