I lost lvl 14 5 fuckin times last night. This was on 48 person servers. See that fuckin river? That's me fuckin crying! That shit is infuriating.

Agree with just a dumb user base. There is definitely a mass influx COD crowd or something. Obliteration is just a painful experience. I mean christ it takes five seconds to read the load screen to know what to do.

I am still so confused on unlocks. Anyone have a chart at what opens when?

The x64 client is fucking dogshit. I switched to 32bit and no problems, even on a semi-fucked up Windows 8.1 install. Obliteration is fucking fun.

It put a version of each on my desktop, just pick the one that doesn't have a 64 in it. You may have to dig around the START menu :p

And yea, I lost level 3 like 4 times lol..

How do you switch? At this point I will try anything.
Go to Origin, right click Battlefield 4, Game Properties.

There's a dropdown. Select Battlefield 4 (x86)

You may get an error message when you go to launch. Then you have to
GO TO BF4 FOLDER
OPEN _INSTALLER
OPEN VC
OPEN VC2012UPDATE3
OPEN REDIST
THEN LAUNCH THE vcredist_x86.exe

I had a game where I was up over 30-3 or so (Tank/LAV rape) poof when the server crashed. Felt like when my dog died.

I bumped the destroyer with a jetski the other night on Parcel Storm which triggered the weather shift. Then I crashed a plane into the wind turbine holding the destroyer in place causing it to break apart and release the ship. The Levy on the flood map just has to be blown up to cause the streets to flood in conquest.

It shows everything under battlelog along with the progressions...if you go to soldier>unlock>sort by either weapons or kit depending on what you want to look at. One thing that may be confusing you is that the kit is separated from the gun unlocks. For example, I could have a fully leveled up recon kit and still have the starter gun because I suck at sniping. Going along with that, my recon kit is almost fully leveled up but I am only on the 2nd sniper unlock because I am hoping in vehicles, spotting things, laser targeting vehicles etc and just getting recon points but nothing towards my sniper rifles.

I'm going to recant what I posted a few days ago. Anyone thinking about purchasing this game, WAIT.

The crashes and bugs are way too numerous and wide spread to warrant buying. I can't enjoy the damn game with the fear of constantly losing my progress. Having said that, when able to stay connected the game is amazing to play. Combat is fun and things feel correct.

EA/Dice are really shitting on their customer base right now by not at least communicating with the people who bought the preorder/premium. It's taking people posting on their help forums and communicating via chats to get information. Once they finish the release (Apparently November 7th) and they patch this shit, it will be worth it.

Until then, the most you can hope for are a few matches back to back. Today Friday Nov 1st I've only completed 1 full Rush match without a crash/freeze. The majority of players are experiencing this as well. It's not everybody, but it sure damn reads like it.

Watching some of the play vids almost made me want to buy this, but all of you bitching about how unplayable it is killed that right away.

Thanks bros!

This is for all those that are crashing, log out of BF4 and close Origin it will save your progress, you kills at the very least. I confirmed this because I unlocked an attachment but it was gone after the crash, restarted computer and there it was again.

So, apparently it wasn't my i7-920 (and Hyperthreading). I got two GTX760's (from my two 5870's) and upgraded to 24 gigs of ram - now running all ultra. Game looks amazing
