Not carrying the ribbons over is crazy. That'd be 18 sniper kills in a single game, plus the other stuff. Im nowhere near good enough for that

do a conquest Rogue transmission with 64 players and very high tickets then its actualy quite easy, I recommend using the SRR-61 with rangefinder, straight bolt 20x scope its awesome for countersniping all those idiots on towers and hillsNot carrying the ribbons over is crazy.

Silencers don't effect bullet damage. It reduces bullet velocity down to around ~300 m/s (varies depending on weapon's base velocity), hence increasing drop over range, and increases hip spread by 20%.
If you're going to use HBar, make sure to place it on weapons that need the spread reduction; generally speaking, most AR's and the decent Carbines and non-belt fed LMGs (U100, etc.) don't require one.

The benefits of placing one on a weapon have been substantially nerfed relative to BF3; it only affects standing ADS spread, increases muzzle climb by 50% (as opposed to the 10% in BF3), and doesn't affect the damage drop off (e.g. bullets to kill at certain ranges). The benefit is a 50% reduction in starting spread (as opposed to 75% in BF3). E.g. an all-around nerf.
If you're dead-set on creating a burst fire set-up, try an angled grip to reduce the first shot recoil multiplier to create tighter groupings between your initial shots.
I'm still sticking to ergo/vertical grip and a muzzle brake or compensator depending on the characteristics of the weapon, but I've been having a blast with the AEK + angled (to counter the 3.0 FSM) and eventually compensator to counter the wide horizontal recoil pattern of the weapon (MB until then) on the rare rounds I play Operation Fuckfest.
Oh, and for the love of baby jesus, if you're a squad leader and see a commander mark an objective; even if you're not going to it, just mouse over the damn thing and hit Q; you'll get extra points and help fuel your commander's abilities. That and the leadership ribbons this acquires are about as rare as a Mistwalker.

The leadership ribbon is so stupid. I've got 22 Commander stars, and 1 ribbon so far.
As for why the new unlocks might not be carrying over, it's probably because it was a bug that they were released early since they are part of the next DLC. Hence the new MAV thing requires an air superiority ribbon which you can't get yet.
Flash hider seems to be pretty ghey compared to silencer. Seems to do nothing about making you appear on the minimap, but not completely sure about that.
Potato Grip seems to be the best grip option?

Yes, it is. I have to make it a point to get the retarded squad leaders to press Q on the objectives I set for them.
I find myself strafing around corners too much, hence why I'm primarily using the ergo/vertical grips, which is what most of my friends are using as well.
I haven't yet had any problems with the new hidden unlocks carrying over. The L85 is quite tits; they upped the RoF to 800 (wtf?) and it's a fucking laser beam.

Not sure; have a friend who's 116 or thereabouts, but as far as I've heard no one's sure if it's just another bug from the recent patch, or if it's intentional. Either way, the purple text is a bit of an eyesore on the scoreboard. Maybe there is a 100 colonel system after all? Who knows.
I managed to pull it off this morning on a No Time Limit Zavod obliteration game. When a game lasts almost an hour and a half, even I can get 18 sniper rifle kills

Play a HC game on Zavod and run ACOG (or whatever mid range scope you prefer) and a suppressor while bushwhackin'. Can get entire squads sometimes before they even realize what's going on.I managed to pull it off this morning on a No Time Limit Zavod obliteration game.

I found a work around, ribbons do carry over if you don't hit three. So get two ribbons then switch to the round objectives, complete those then get your last ribbon.Not carrying the ribbons over is crazy.

What servers is everyone playing on mostly? I've been on the Reddit Conquest servers mostly, but I would really like to play with people that actually work together.
brekk i play on Mad4 a lot as well. You killed me several times in a chopper on transmission, you ass!
getting those hidden unlocks on console is gonna be a bitch if the ribbons dont carry over, cant pick a longer game time and all that shit.
fried my video card man, decided to build a new rig on cyber monday just for bf4, never played a BF before and even on console its pretty awesome.
