Battlefield 4 discussion..

[KeyboardDemon]

What do you guys think about the AUG A3? I've unlocked it a several days ago and it feels like the best gun in the game. What do you guys think?

Didnt think much of it myself, I feel more comfortable with many of the other assault rifles but each to their own!

I think a lot depends on the player, as Biscuit has said.

When it comes to the guns in BF4 the advice and recommendations that Biscuit has given me when playing have helped immensely so I put a lot of weight on his opinion about guns. Though to add to that, if you have found one that works well for you and others don't like it might just mean that there are characteristics with that gun that you can handle better than others, such as recoil etc...

Computers upgraded. Got the AMD Radeon R9 270X for the same price as the Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X OC 2GB GDDR5. Got the memory sorted, new case and keyboard (Corsair Raptor K40)

Need to download all the expansions for BF4 before I can play, had a quick shot on Test Range (All maxed out on Video settings, no judder like the last, need to see how it'll cope online.)

Nice, congratulations. Which model did you get in the end?

Update your system specs when you get the chance. Some of us like to look at these things.

64 player matches are pretty damn demanding online. When I had a slightly lower spec than the one I mentioned before, I would play 48 player matches a lot. Still plenty of action, but it gave roughly another 5fps, which made all the difference

I've now joined the teamspeak thingy - no idea how to use it, so any pointers would be helpful

[outwar6010]

Its pretty self explanatory. Bookmark the server and select it each time. Make sure you have your headset etc selected from the settings and you're good to go.

Also you need one of us with admin privileges to set you to set your user status so that you can access more than the main lobby. Biscuit, MadeAussie or I can do that for you.

I'm online now and probably for the rest of the night if you want to join

How does one go about playing with friends? Every time I try and play with my friends, we're on opposite teams

The Squad Join feature.

The Squad Join feature.

If you are on the same team then the Squad join option will let you search for the squad that your friends are playing in, if you are in opposite teams there is an option to change team however sometimes the server decides not to let you move or will move one of your friends out of the team you are joining and into the team you are leaving in the interest of team balancing. As erudito87 and I discovered not too long ago. lol

Seems a bit counter intuitive that you can't do it before the game :/

You can, just hit the play button next to someones name in battlelog. Doesn't work well on fll servers though.

[MrRockliffe]

Yeah, learned that the hard way. Hopefully they'll implement a feature to allow you to join your friends game a bit easier.

[KeyboardDemon]

In theory it should see when people are in the same platoon or have friends from the contacts list playing and put those people together, but then team balancing comes into play and this then makes it so that certain teams/squads get split up in order to balance the players in that game.

How active are ppl on BF4? havent played in a long while but feel like i need to get back into it.

Do you mean in general, or people on Hexus? There're certainly plenty of people playing BF4 judging by the number of servers available, & the Hexus platoon is pretty active too

[KeyboardDemon]

Biscuit, MaddAussie, erudito87 and myself are playing fairly regularly and there are a few others that join us from time to time. Join our Platoon and have a look at our Battlelogs to get an idea of how often we get on together.
