GRRRR!

I just played 2 rounds on the same server, in one I unlocked all but the last unlock for the attack boat and in the second I unlock a bunch of stuff for the Support class. Finished both games, but neither are showing in my battle reports.

That happened to me a lot. Now I load up the next map before I quit, or wait till I see the battle report post.

Does that mean winning by a large margin the entire game and in the last few minutes finding a way to let the other team come back and win? =(

It means dominating the red team in BF4 and using the rage... RAAAGE created by being a Cowboys fan. It's like being a Sith but angrier.

Don't forget--use your XP bonuses. Hit ESC when playing multiplayer, and activate one in the lower right corner. Makes grinding way less, especially if you preordered and/or bought premium.

Thanks! I have a few in my battlepacks but didn't know how to use them.

Well I went back and played a quick game of TDM and afterwards my unlocks appeared in battlelog but still no battle reports. The unlocks were my main concern since I had unlocked those twice today, the first time the server crashed right before the game ended. :rolleyes:

Its weird how inconsistent it is. A couple of times I reached the same rank 3 times. I would play, reach a rank, then take a break. Come back an my rank or weapon didnt unlock. Play again really quick, quit, and the same thing would happen again!

How are people getting all the vehicle unlocks in 1 round? Is the score required just that much lower compared to BF3? I remember getting the last tank unlocks in BF3 required grinding for maybe 20 hours worth to get.

I'm almost up to the M4 in the carbine tree and have most of the engie unlocks so far. the only carbines I really like are the ACW-R and ACE-52. The Sig is OK. The others are not very good (AK-5, AK12u, A-91). The IRNV scope on the RFB is pretty sweet. It doesn't work out to unlimited range like in original BF3 but it is certainly more effective than the nerfed BF3 version. Getting lased or taclight'ed totally blinds though.

I was playing around with the AK12, and it seemed pretty solid. I was watching rivalXfactor and he was saying something about the lower ROF weapons are better at controlling recoil, which is probably why I did alright with it. It was good in medium to long range, but I was losing CQ gunfights to ARs. I just unlocked the ACE-52, and will try it out tonight. I fooled around with it in the training mode, and it seemed alright. The M4 is the goal though. Otherwise, the ACW-R is the go to carbine.

Anyone play the support class? Cause from what I saw in the battlelog forums they said the LMGs are really inaccurate. So if that's true, I'll will stuck with the assault class.

I hope they are inaccurate. We don't need a bunch of noobs running around with LMGs like John Rambo. I am of the opinion it takes zero skill to have a gun with a 200 round capacity and just hold the trigger down until someone dies.

I believe I read someplace that there is a 30% accuracy penalty when you have the LMG in fully-auto mode. When I switched it to a 3-round burst mode, it seemed considerably better.

Edit: Nevermind, I had a muzzle brake on, which reduces the accuracy by 30% with automatic fire mode.

I've got to say...flood zone has got to be one of THE worst imbalanced poorly designed maps in the history of FPS. Basically, once the enemy team captures the points it is 100% impossible to do anything except get spawn camped. You thought getting spawn camped on US side of Metro was bad? Flood zone is literally 10 times worse lol.

Are you using the VPN? That is probably the reason. You might try and get Battelog to load you into a server and then get off the VPN for actual gameplay.
Click to expand...
I was, but I switch back to normal when I'm ingame and now I don't need to change VPN anymore :)

I was lagging because my stupid flatmate is downloading movies ffs -_-

Feel free to add me everyone 'SlushyCoffee' hate playing with randoms. :awe:

Thanks. I bought premium, so maybe I have some goodies waiting for me. I have no idea what those actually do yet, but it sounds good.

I'm torn between playing the classes I need to unlock stuff, or play situationally. Thing is, you can't situationally use your classes efficiently if you dont have the core kit stuff unlocked.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I hear ya big time. I have decided to stick to my primary class and get it up to par at all costs. Then I will move on to my secondary class until its sufficient. I may experiment here and there just to check the others out, but I am sacrificing situational practicality to get that class leveled up, because once it is, oh dear its on.

I just finished all the engie unlocks so now I can start on support I guess. But I haven't had a chance to try out the SRAW or Jav yet.
