Re: Battlefield 4

Yea, all that NAT communication mess seems to only come up between only some people in the party. The ones involved simply need to leave the party then return and it should correct itself.

For all of you talking about routers --- it has absolutely nothing to do with your router.
It's an issue on Sony's end with the PSN. I've encountered this error somewhat frequently, only to log right back into a party and everything work fine. This happens quite frequently and is very annoying. When things were all hectic last night with the PSN, it took me 5 attempts to talk to others in my party because of this error. I'm already in the DMZ on my router and all ports are open.
Again, nothing to do with actual NAT in any way. 100% a Sony problem.

True. Depending on the router model though there are sometimes settings to enable VOIP (Voice Over IP) passthrough that makes it really easy to configure...usually it's just a checkbox, and checking it automatically adds the firewall exceptions.

I've never messed with any of my settings at all and I almost always connect with everyone in party chat so just backing out of a party then returning works for me. For those of you that are more tech savvy and want to mess with things I found these two threads regarding BF4...

Hope some of this stuff helps someone.

Re: Battlefield 4

Sorry to skip out early last night. I haven't really been feeling it the past couple of evenings with my cough/cold. I'm feeling much better this morning so hopefully tonight I can do proper work.

Re: Battlefield 4

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.

What sniper rifle do you think is best?

Re: Battlefield 4

SRR-61 is definitely the best
After thats its a toss-up between Scout Elite and 338 Recon. M40a5 is rated well too

Re: Battlefield 4

Nice runnin' with ya Nuni last night. Haven't played with you in a while. Had some really fun games. I have a weird love affair with the UMP-45 right now. It just feels so good to me for some reason.

Re: Battlefield 4

For me it's the SRR-61 by far. The thing is a beast, least amount of bullet drop and just feels powerful. Many will say to take the Scout Elite or .338 a Recon for mid range but I still prefer the SRR. When I unlocked the .338 I HATED it. It's all about personal preference.

If I had to make a list:
1. SRR-61 - overall just good
2. M40A5 - great rifle early on, good for short-mid range due to high firing speed and magazine size.
3. M98B - has really fast bullet speed so it's easier to hit moving targets, downsize is the firing rate and the fact it's the rifle you unlock right before the SRR-61. Also has 11 bullets in a magazine which is really good for a sniper rifle.
That's just my personal preference list and by no means correct.

I never dared to touch the Scout Elite no matter what range/play style I was playing due to its low damage and damage drop off. No way in hell I'm using a sniper rifle that might take 3 bullets to kill or worse, a hit marker on a headshot.

Another tip it's good to just pick 1 or 2 rifles and grind with it until you get the SRR-61. This way you feel get a great feel for that rifles bullet drop and it will just become natural to you. Otherwise if you keep switching around with every rifle you unlock, your bullet drop predictions and other things like bullet velocity will be off.

SRR-61 is tops, it shoots like a laser beam, beastly weapon. After that I like the M98B and then L96A1.

Re: Battlefield 4

Is it just me or is it slower to rank up in BF4 compared to BF3? You would think with the exp boosts it would seem faster but it just doesn't for me.

Re: Battlefield 4

I don't think it takes long to rank up. Feels like I rank up every 3-5 matches and I'm at about 70 with under 100 hours played still. Max rank is 110 I believe.

On bf3 I was nowhere near colonel 100 with over 300 hours played

Re: Battlefield 4

I'm 50h in and lv30 lmao. Spent way too much time in Team Deathmatch. K/d is 1.2 and so is my w/l. Score p/m around 350.

[NDAlum]

Re: Battlefield 4

I only look at score per minute which is 361

I had a terrible start to BF4 because I never played the series before. My K/D was like 0.5. I'm up to almost 0.9 now. W/L is just under 1 as well.

Battlefield 4

Has anyone else picked up a gun from the ground that shows up on the map?

I don't know if it's in all game modes, or just domination.

I also don't know if they are intended to be "Special" guns or not.

But on Zavod (sp?) I wanted to see why that icon was on the map. Went over to it and it was a USAS. Switched to that gun and wrecked like 3 dudes straight with it. That thing felt POWERFUL. Scooped it up again after dying. Same thing, dropped anybody that tried to take me on head on. Hell, the first time I picked it up, I dropped the three dudes and they were all together. I just spammed R2 and watched them all drop.

I think it was a USAS equipped with Frags and some green laser sight. It was beast though. Felt like the old USAS from when BF3 first came out before it was nerfed. I know some of you remember those dark days.

On Hannan(sp?) I went to the icon and picked up some sort of grenade launcher. It wasn't in BF3. I died when trying to figure out what it was. So I don't know how great that one could be. Lol

Anybody else pick up any of these "secret" weapons? Is there really anything special about them at all?

Yeah they're meant to be powerful, kinda like power weapons for a halo game. You can't reload ammo for them through an ammo box, except for one of the weapons that escapes my mind. I've used the sniper which is a 1 shot kill if you hit anywhere, the grenade launcher, and the rocket launcher. All amazing weapons and I try to grab them whenever I can.
