I tend to be recon but I don't always snipe. when I do snipe I do paint and mark bad guys though.

I don't play hardcore on BF like I did COD because I'm instantly getting blown out of choppers and it's just too chaotic.

anyone use battlescreen yet?

I opened up Battlescreen on my iPad once, while playing on my 50" TV. The ipad screen was so little, and I found if of little use. Technically, it seemed to work flawlessly. I could see it being pretty useful on the PC where you have two monitors at ideal eye-height. But for consoles, you might need two TVs sitting beside each other for it to be worth looking at.

As for Recon, I barely played it in Battlefield 3. Just enough to the first service star (OK, quite a bit, but quite a bit less than Assault and Engineer). So I was thinking about giving it a go this time around. But I see what you guys are talking about. Way too many damn snipers.

I simply stopped playing BF4 because of the recon madness, I was getting picked off within seconds of spawning on most maps and it just became more frustrating than fun

i am actually brutal at this game...but I still enjoy it. I consider myself decent at COD. On multiplayer I am usually at least a 1:1k/d guy. However BF4 is a different beast. If anyone ever wants to play on PS4 lmk.

this game is broken, can't play it as it kicks me to the homescreen every 5 mins. Cant join servers because they all are full even if it shows that it is empty.

Dice/EA are too busy putting out new DLC instead of fixing this POS.

I'm so pissed right now.

I played a couple rounds of rush on Guilin Peaks last night and it kind of reminds me of Valparaiso from Bad Company 2 but instead of the attackers getting a LAV and UH-60 all they get are bikes. That being said, I never felt as though my team needed a vehicle to break through. There appears to be multiple routes to each objective and compared to Operation Locker or Metro, feature more open spaces to cut down on the nade/explosives spam.

Seems they heard you, they said they're stopping work on expansions to fix the game.

First, we want to thank the fans out there that are playing and supporting us with Battlefield 4. We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game – it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game. Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began withBattlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4. We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain. We will not stop until this is right.

I don't really understand what all the issues are? I've had the game since launch, and it runs fine and doesn't drop or disconnect very often. Most often the problem appears to be on the server side rather than my game client crashing.

I'm pretty sure most of the issues are a lot of the same hardware incompatibility issues and overclocked video card instability issues that plagued the first year of BF3. I used to have a factory OCd 580 that I had to clock down by ~50 Mhz (GPU and VRAM) to make it so BF3 didn't crash literally every 5 minutes.

For instance, last night I joined a server, play five mins or so and was booted to the xb1 homescreen. This happened about 8 times.

The other thing that is wrong is constant rubberbanding, with serious lag. Then you have the getting booted while the map is loading problem.

I know the rubberbanding/server slowdown thing doesn't happen on 32-man or 48-man servers, try those.

Though that's on PC.

I haven't had any issues on PS4 but maybe I have just been lucky since lots of others have

apparently Dice worked on a bunch of stuff over night. There has been a lot less complaints about it.

I'm glad I didn't spend the $50 on Premium....

you get the maps sooner than non premium and a few other things. on BF3 they had it where you got all the weapons and add ons with it so a level 1 was maxed on weapons.
