If you're not a vehicle whore you are going to die a lot in this game. I don't even know how guys end up behind me so often in this. Even when I have the highest score I die more than anyone else on the server

yeah going for the objective 100% of the time is bad for your health but good for the leveling. I was on a hardcore pistol only server last night it was good times.

yeah pistol only servers are a real nice break from sniper hell servers, you get into that zen flow where you just die every 5 seconds but are ok with it
new client patch rolls out tomorrow and includes china rising dlc for premium and pre-orders i think. i can't wait for that shitty blur strobe to go away and audio fix.
Dec 3 PC Game Update Notes
-Removed the blur effect on soldiers that appeared when Commanders were using EMP attacks
-Fixed the audio bug where audio sometimes randomly dropped out while playing on certain multiplayer maps (typically Golmud Railway and Hainan Resort)
-Fixed the "one-hit kill bug" where occasionally damage from a single bullet was applied multiple times
-Fixed a common crash that would occur when exiting from the Single Player Campaign to Main Menu
-Tweaked the network and computer performance screen to show proper values. Players can now test their computer and network connection and get recommendations if they need to adjust something to improve their gameplay experience

Random observations:
-TV missiles on the attack boats are OP and necessitate using the active missile defense system on Paracel Storm.
- For helicopters the best way to pilot them is to use a controller. I use a PS4 controller myself. Luckily DICE was nice and there is a training map you can use to bind/practice the controls
- Mouse and keyboard seems like the best way to pilot jets. The key to aiming well is to tap A and D to correct your aim.
- Scout helicopters are better than attack helicopters because the scout helicopter can have engineers repair you so you don't get shot down in five seconds.
- Attack helicopters are OK once you get things like the SMART missile but still underwhelming on most maps since you really have to hang back from the action. At least in Siege of Shanghai the attack helicopter will stay alive for a little while because you can weave between buildings to dodge missiles.
- The attack jet is amazing, the stealth fighter so far has been thoroughly underwhelming.
- I hate people who camp in the spawn with the AA on Lancang Dam and Zavod 311
- Killing people with C4 is awesome. Just plant one around the corner and when they peek out to kill you... BOOM!

There is definitely something funky going on with hit detection and RPG's, I've killed myself more times than enemies by trying to shoot out through a door or if I am near any obstacle. My field of view is plenty clear but the game thinks the doorway or some obstacle is in the way and the rocket blows up next to me. Unless the game is taking backblast into consideration, which would be realistic and pretty cool, but I'm sure that would be giving the developers way too much credit.

While this game is really fun it is the buggiest game I have ever played. Crashed about 6 times today doing the campaign. Freezing up while reloading and random crashes abound. Got in a truck 1 time and could literally do nothing not even leave. Had to reload or wait for them to kill me.

Angled/folding grip, muzzle brake. Short bursts at range, own the shit out of people at medium/close. And I don't know why but a holo sight seems to make recoil far more obnoxious than a RDS, so try to avoid those unless you are on a snow map.
Or go EZ-Mode and just use AK 5C with stubby/potato and silencer. My favorite setup so far. If it doesn't have 200 rounds to deal with the armies of people that show up after you fire one shot, then slap a silencer on it I say.

Even the ps4 is a bit buggy. Conquest has hard crashed to os a few times. Additionally if you spam X while waiting to get to the deploy screen after dying the deploy screen is black and you can't do anything except wait for an auto deploy
I actually find this happening a lot while trying to snipe and it pisses me off. I will prone and peek over the edge/lip of a building with a clear line of sight and fire off a shot only to have it hit the edge/lip. I have also experienced what you describe as well.

yeah I have no unlocks for that gun since I can't kill anyone with it and I have no idea what the stubbypotato is since I haven't unlocked those on a gun yet either but I'll check it out, thanks.
both are 15% reduction in Automatic fire penalty, i pretty much use stubby on everything not a DMR (Angled grip) or LMG (Bipod)

suck it, non premium users!
played two of the new maps. altai range is HUGE, maybe too big. Its a giant valley so some cool stuff, but you pretty much need vehicles. Its quite difficult in rush mode though, especially the first two sets. Riding a dirt bike is freaking AWESOME. Didn't see any levolutions yet, which is a bummer.

If you hit circle or whatever button to edit your layout you can reset back to the map screen (if you do it before the timer to redeploy has gone out)
