This basically describes my online experience with any game I play

Zavod 311 I think it is.

Ya you're right. It was on the tip of my tongue, I knew it started with a "Z" and it was 311 but didn't want to guess and was too lazy to google, despite having a browser open to type my post.

My win loss ratio was sub 50% for a while and it slowly crept back up to basically 50:50.

So I got suckered into this game by friends.

Y FPS SO HARD DOE

Next map was the one with C and D in neighbouring building, the tank graveyard, I always forget it's name. We were losing by quite a bit, same situation, got back the ones close to our base and pushed hard for teh rest and we mounted a pretty good comeback, eventually winning. This was against a side that was all the same clan. They should have been able to beat our side which was pretty much a pub side but some solid game play won us the day.

If you play as a squad leader, make sure to as much as possible designate the point your at for attack or defence, you rack up so many points that way, for both yourself and your squad mates. Also, people spawning on you is good point too, although I think in regular you can spawn on any squadmate, as opposed to HC where you can only spawn on the SQ Leader.

Sort of related, I love the new Shadowplay on my nvidia card. So easy to capture those 'battlefield moments'. From the fluke stuff to sniping a heli with a scraw.

I should really enable this. Every single time I play there is a moment that I wish I had recorded. Playing with a buddy on the weekend I shot a Blackhawk out of the sky with an M320 as it buzzed past me.

[Igotnothing]

Ya Shadowplay is pretty much custom made for BF. So much material. I sniped my buddy with a scraw while he was in the little bird the other day, it got our reaction over Vent when we realized it was me killing him haha. Good times.

I set it to high quality and 5 minute lengths, over kill but I figured i'll make sure I get it all, just edit out 4:30 seconds previous with movie maker lol. And I only have shadowplay enalbed, not the manual.

Hahaha 5 seconds in. I played air defense the entire game after that.

[PIMking]

that's why I never jump in the light vehicles right away because you're a sitting duck

I wish XB1 would let you know that your friends are online. I didn't even know you were in the game until I killed you

I've been loving using silencers on my weapons now... so many times I can sneak up on 2 or 3 guys and just open fire, plus it makes it great to hide in the shadows and just start shooting at people.

I'm on ps3 if anyone wants to add me.. Diverce

I love em too, they seem to help a lot with recoil and usually you can get two or three rounds into someone before they know where they're getting shot from

[gottabekd]

Oh god, I hate silencers and people that use them. I think it's a crutch for bad players

I prefer to use a loud gun that spots me on the mini-map every time I shoot. Then I can draw the enemies towards me and mow them down

Silencers increase bullet drop, yes?

Yes. And bullet speed.

You become accustom to it after a few rounds

I don't use them on the sniper rifles since the bullet drop is super bad

Correct, a silencer kills a sniper rifle. Use a flash hider for sniper rifles.

[Max Cow Disease]

I've been slapping a flash hider on my MG4 for the past week or so. I never thought I would use one but I find that its masking of the flash combined with its retention of the original barrel's characteristics is a good blend. Silencers are effective on some maps but the bullet drop and lack of bullet velocity irks me (big loss of range for LMG's).

Assuming you don't have some stupid flashlight or laser switched on, I find that flash hiders can make the difference in one on one shootouts, as muzzle flash acts as somewhat of a bullseye.

I'm getting sick of the servers with no ping cap. So many 200+ ping people miraculously leading in K-D.

Who here plays on console and who on PC?

I played BF3 on PC and really liked it. I felt like I was a good player and the game ran well on Ultra (45-60 FPS).

But BF4 just isn't working well on my PC for whatever reason (this has always been my biggest problem with PC gaming). I'm not nearly as good with a controller as I am with a mouse, but I figured others have the same handicap.

Is anything different or lesser in the console versions? Do people talk much?
