^I get that when I jump into the European servers. If you pick East/West ones the experience is dramatically better.

Re: Battlefield 4

I still get that on East US servers if the map is Hannon Resort, or Lansing Dam as well as Parcel Storm after the storm rolls in. It's gone from Goldmand Railway finally.

It's not my connection either, I have 30 ping to the US East servers and a DL/UL rate of 75/15 Mb/s.

There are issues with those two maps. Hopefully they're working on it. It's pretty well known.

Re: Battlefield 4

Gave actual sniping a shot. I don't really like it. Seems like you are no really helping. Post up far away from the action and fire. I spot like crazy but with the first rifle trying to figure out range and bullet drop is a mother. Oh well may give it another couple of rounds. Doesn't seem like it's for me.

Re: Battlefield 4

It took me a WHILE to get it down, but once I did, I was racking up points. You get crazy points for headshots. The big thing is spotting anyways, so you're still helping by calling out all of the enemies. But yeah, work at it until you can unlock the straight pull for the first rifle. Life becomes MUCH easier after.

All you have to do is unlock the second sniper M40A5 and play semi aggressively and be a help to your team. M40A5 is great especially for beginners since the amount of time between your first shot and second shot is really good, so if you miss your first shot or get a hit marker, you can quickly get off another one.

Now ways to be helpful, especially on Rush. This works for both if you are on the attackers and defenders, you spawn and go to the side, instead of going straight on with the enemy. Now you are basically "flank sniping" as I call it and as the attackers or defenders are trying to get in position past your teammates you are spotting them and picking them off in a position they don't even bother to look since they are expecting you to be straight on. You will be surprised how many kills you get on other snipers also since they are all looking straight ahead and don't bother to check their sides.

Now you aren't supposed to be a mile away to do this, more like in the 100-150m range or less, no more than 200m.

Also if you lay down a spawn becon where you are it's super effective because no your squad mates instead of having to spawn at the base they can spawn in a flanking position and attack the enemy from the sides.

Just be prepared for a lot of running. It's definitely not for the person that gets bored easily since you have to be stealthy in a way and run from position to position and take extra time to get into good spots flanking the enemy.

I have over 6 service stars now in the recon class but even I have switched to the engineer and assault classes for a change of pace and for the "in your face" action.

Rob, D-pad down to zero range of scope is REALLY helpful for not having to try and figure out bullet drop crazy amounts on long shots.

Re: Battlefield 4

This is getting to be some serious BS....I tried to join Bolt's party again,and after a few seconds go this message....

NW-31194-8- Connection was reset. // Restart the PS4 system. / The connection to the server has been lost

So I proceed to restart the console,and while it let me stay in the party a bit longer,I then received it again.

Not sure what to do at this point,I would really like to play with the folks here,but until I can find a fix for it,it's pretty pointless.

I have never seen or had this issue cowher but let's see if we can't figure it out.

Are other OS guys having this same issue?

Could it be your network firewall?

I was able to get in with Sausage and the guys when he hosted the party (iirc) but for some reason if Bolt hosts the party,I can't stay connected.

I've checked and re-checked my settings to no avail....I'm using a wired setup,have a NAT type 2 (which is correct for a wired connection) so I SHOULD have no problem staying connected.

What's weir though,was tonight was the first time I've seen the message about NAT types of other players,and it wouldn't let me connect to them unless I left the party and reconnected...I believe Bolt had the same issue as well and he had to do the same thing,and all was good.

I searched Google,and the only thing I was really able to conclude,was it had something to do with Sony's network.

I had this issue with BL:Retribution as well when partying up with Sausage (DiscoJoseph)...I would get disconnected....hell who knows,maybe it IS Sony's network having problems...lol

Re: Battlefield 4

Great gaming last night with OSers again. Yea I dunno exactly what that chat problem is but I had read somewhere to just leave the party and return to correct it. I did that then we were good to go.

The few mini OS on OS battles we had were cool as well.

When I first connected to the party my game said I couldn't communicate with you in game chat due to your NAT type. Or something like that.
