Re: Battlefield 4

How is everyone using/liking the Ballistic Shield? I've found some good spots for it, but I didn't realize you could shoot right through the window in it.

You yourself can't shoot through it, it just came out that way & I'm sure you meant you can be shot through it by the enemy.

It's pretty fun on certain maps, but they nerfed it so hard it's next to useless unless you have a few guys behind you.

That's what I meant: you can be shot through it.

I know there has to be a good use, but the hit box on it seems so small compared to your body. And, as a tertiary point, they should make some way to earn points with it.

Re: Battlefield 4

I posted this over at the battlefield forums and figured I'd throw it on here as well to see if anyone else has run into this issue and has a workaround. And normally when you post something over there you get slammed for asking questions and get responses like Fix the game, fix the netcode, you suck....nothing to do with my question at hand.



Weird issue with my 360 platoon. I have 5 guys in it already. One guy can't seem to receive my invite to my origin friend's list and he can't send me one. We checked his privacy settings and all looks good but when I try to group chat him on my laptop it says, "you are not friends".....

Here is where things get really strange. After trying numerous attempts, even using the Battlefield 3 battlelog to send the friend request, he all of a sudden showed up in a game with our Platoon tag. However, on the battlelog, he is not listed as a member.

Not exactly sure how to resolve this. Anyone else run into any issues like this or have any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Re: Battlefield 4

Been playing this game NONSTOP the last 4 days on The One. Might be my favorite game in my rotation right now.

Loving the new maps. Conquest Small has been my go to mode as of late

I'm wondering if this plays better on the One and that's why I'm having so many frustrating games on the PS4. The hit detection is just awful for me. It's become near unplayable.

There's only ONE (get it?) way to find out...


No it's probably just as bad. I've never truly thought hit detection was ever as good as BF3 or BC2 levels. Ever.

Such a shame as this game has so much potential, but hit detection is damn important. I've been trying to get back into this game but am really struggling to have fun due to it.

Re: Battlefield 4

Every time someone mentions BC2, I remember how that game changed console shooters for me and how disappointed I am to be getting Hardline instead of Bad Company 3. I never could go back to MW2 after experiencing BC2. Those maps were perfect for Rush.


Speaking of Rush, we never play that on the PS4 and when I played with OSers on both last gen consoles we were almost Rush exclusively. What's up with that ?

The exceptions were Squad Rush clan battles, a little C4 trolling on domination with TMagic, the clan battles on Seine, Metro, etc.

Simple answer is 32 players max in rush and 64 in Conquest. Last gen consoles couldn't do 64 players so they were more equal modes in terms of players.

Rush is good, but a nice running 64 player Conquest? Well nothing beats that, for me at least. I rarely if ever, have lag or hit detection problems. That's probably why I've played more hours of BF4 than any other OSer (I realize that isn't something to be "proud" of lol).

With one (possibly two because of the hardline delay, I've heard, not confirmed) more DLC still coming. I'll be playing this well over a year actively.

There have been custom servers with 64 player rush appearing lately. Most of the stages play much better than I thought they would (assuming they increased the ticket count)

for me it's the old, I'm in danger and get behind cover and die after I'm safely in cover - issue. THAT is frustrating.

Generally speaking, that will never truly be eliminated from multiplayer FPS, and will become more exaggerated the further you are away from the server you are connected to.

I remember for a week or two, Dice had some Naval Strike test servers up. Me and Dog played on them and it was amazing, you'd run from enemy fire and get behind cover with about 8 health and actually survive!

No turn the corner or drop below a wall, only to die afterwards lol. Don't know what ever happened to those servers but I'd sure like to see that return.
