I like the idea of having an LMG fitted to the tank, in order to sort out the infantry.....
Then again, I could go for the HMG and really make them keep their heads down. Oh, wait........
Why do you fail at such obvious things, DICE?? ;)

Wouldn't a current-gen i7 be better as a CPU if you're heavily involved with non-realtime rendering, etc? Or have the recent i5's come on leaps and bounds that has negated the i7's additional abilities?
Just a thought? :)

Still using the old established BF favourite of the UMP-45. A bit pants at range, but epic in the mid-to-short distances.
Unlocked the heavy barrel the other night. I actually applaud DICE for making you choose between gun additions, dependant on how you prefer them to behave. The heavy barrel...
Sorry m8 - the majority of spare time I've had has been with the love/hate relationship that I have with BF4 :) It's definitely on my list to retry and tbh, they've got so many things right with the latest incarnation of XCOM - that there's no way they won't develop it more. I've even...
I'm not too sure on that though. Who really picked the engineer or anti-tank role in the original BF1942 or BF2? We know that those classes have always been useful - in fact the engineer class was my de-facto choice on BF2142. But the vast majority of players tend to go for the assault and...
Welcome!
Without trying to sound like a gobshite(!) - do you actually mean a Mk1 or a Mk2, Phase 1? Something that looks a Clio 16v/Williams or more like a 172?
Good to see another NW member on here anyway :)

Nudging Level 30 now - I think the below are my main BF4 pros and cons
Pros
Vast majority of the maps are well designed and enjoyable, perhaps with the exception of Flood Control.
Graphics are good - certainly given the scale of units/buildings on-screen at anyone time.
Destructible scenery is...
Hoax or not - there's no way they will pass up on the opportunity to make Fallout 4. Just in the same way they won't ignore doing a follow-up to Skyrim. Two very large cash-cows there, just waiting to be tapped.

I smell a hint of something, something resembling that thing...... you know..... BULLSHIT! ;)
We all might as well jack-in our boxes of Uber-Win if you turn from the PC to become a professional thumb-twiddler.

The game is simply too big and complex for its own good. Funny on how the older, simpler BF's never had as many issues as this. BF3 set a new standard in feck-ups (one of the main reason's why I jacked it in) - but they don't appear to have learnt much with the release of BF4.
Can EA/DICE plan...
I run an Extreme Edition first-gen i7. Personally I suggest that if you're going down the complete overhaul route, that a decent i5 would be far better suited.

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.

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

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...
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...
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.
