Seen a rough 50/50 split on the PC between HC and Barbie modes. Pretty fortunate that I can pick and choose. I really, really, really like the lack of crosshair on HC mode - makes ADS just so important (and enjoyable) imo. D.

Possibly had a drain on the connection? By that, the previous owner found out through trail and error that a power drain was coming from the boot light connection and flattening the battery on a regular basis? Just a guess, but it could be that. Or something far more simpler? (edit - H's answer...

Jesus - I always turn down the standard sensitivity on FPS games - some are silly, like Scutch says - making you do a 360 spin in about half an inch of mouse travel. I watched a bloke on an opposing team who clearly had his ramped up. The tank turret swung around comically fast! There does...

Nice one - I'll try that. Does seem a little daft with DICE's meddling in a feature that worked fine before. I forgot I snapped a pic of that server last night. Definitely one to avoid in the future. The server name sums it up perfectly "XP Farming" ffs?? :S D.

Another benefit of being in vehicles with the IR sights - snipers hiding away, light up like a Christmas tree. Unless they have that stealth unlock. I don't even know how to counter yet - lol. Only got my first dog-tag last night - and that was because the dude was stood there trying to get a...

Had a really weird issue a few rounds back on the dam map. Spawned in a boat (only me on it) - and as I start to cruise towards the objectives, my controls stop responding. It went slightly juddery and I noticed that rather than have my name piloting it - some SirRingPiece (or whatever) his name...

It does reward you for sticking with the same kit. Bizarrely, even on the infantry only maps like Operation Locker, I still use the engineer kit as the unlocks I've got on the UMP-45 actually make it quite useful now. My other standard kit is totally horse in comparison. I've noticed some...

I could have cut & pasted that from my own thoughts! :cool: Totally agree. D.

Flol. And I thought that was manic enough with just 24 players on! Not a fave map of mine I admit, but a great way of racking up points. Map glitch on there.... D.

Hahaha! You might have a point! :o Tbh, it's the ones that I really do like that get fucked over by stupid, careless, lazy issues that really get my back up. However, not as much as games where the previous titles had so many things right and then the follow up just falls flat on its face...

^^^ - I agree - but only on the initial stages of the game. I really do hope that Bethesda doesn't make the same mistake as FO3 and Skyrim where your character effectively becomes a one-man army. I want specialisation and focus. I want to be able to create a character that is not the same as...

The PC version is actually stable on joining servers and maintaining connection to them. But (for me anyway) - I get massive crash issues if I upgrade the nVidia drivers to the latest ones. Just on this game too - nothing else. It's piss poor if you're having stability issues with the SP...

Does look bloody good! THE main reason why I'd buy the next XBox. D.

Same here on the PC. Multiplayer on the other hand...... :P D.

The seller certainly is. I think even after giving myself a frontal lobotomy with a garden spade, I wouldn't buy a steaming, curled-up turd off this bloke. D.

FLOL - that's classic! :cool: Games rewarding you for doing sweet FA. WTF will they be like in 5-years-time?! D.

Too true. Despite it's obvious flaws including unlimited ammo and those laughable tracer darts - I think Bad Company 2 was the last 'real' Battlefield that I got properly stuck into. I think this series, more than any other, it one that I'm keen to succeed and carry on. But the waves of anger...

Took me about 2.5 years to max out on BF2142 - I think which is around lvl 50? I'm nearly halfway there on BF4 with barely 24 hours worth of play. They've gone points crazy too. The highest achievement awards in 2142 gave you around 2,000 points. I think you get more than in BF4 for simply...

I really am tempted, you know! :) D.

You should only get the headlight washers going when the lights are on - and even then, only if you pull the washer stalk for an extended period of time. You should hear a two-tone whirr noise - the second whirr being the headlamp washer pump. I NEVER use my headlamp washers - instead I rely on...

^^^ - flol, that's not the sign of a well designed game! They assume people can't be arsed anymore. That they need the next unlock within 10mins of playing - not 10 hours of using the same character and kit. As much as the bazillion unlocks annoy me - nothing makes my piss boil more on these...

Ass-to-mouth? Does is that a game mode, one-up from tea-bagging? ;) Had a proper unlock fail earlier. Managed to get the coaxial HMG for the main battle tank. Except the ammo box now covers two-thirds of your sight to the right of the screen - PMSL! DICE...... you bewilder me at times...... you...

My plastic ones failed recently, so rather than reorder the sam type, I've gone for the aluminium variety. Hopefully they will be a little more robust. D.

Ah, is that where you normally get that warning appearing in game, saying that a strike is inbound? ^^^ - -I've NEVER understood why the majority of console games cannot have a custom control setup? What might work for the majority of devs might feel alien to you as a player. Why do you have...

Depends on how you use it. I've been using air lines for nearly 15 years and never had a problem with it. Like most things, be gentle and you'll be ok ;) Certainly the best option for cleaning out PSUs anyway. No way would you be getting me stripping one of those and getting too close to a...

How is it m8? Is it pretty straight forward? Is the commander on the battlefield too? Can he be killed? D.

Hmmmm - accuracy stats for me on the BF series (I don't count BF3 as I put about 2 hours into it!)... Battlefield 2 = 22% Battlefield 2142 = 24% Battlefield Bad Company 2 = 43% Battlefield 4 = 6% I'd suggest that from that, that the game is highly reliant on gaining accuracy through various...

Yep - I went up twice in under an hour last night :). The mechanics of the game are laughably so full of fail in Barbie Mode. Teamed up with an excellent chopper dude on that island map - me and another engineer hanging out of each side of his Little Bird. We strafed, captured, defended and...

It defaults to your jump key m8 - or on the PC it does, anyway. Run and jump of a ledge, then hit the jump key again and the parachute is deployed. D.
