[Current/Next Gen] Battlefield 4

Couple more questions if anyone can help:

why do the blue/green icons not appear above your team mates all the time? I don't know how many times I've almost team killed by mistake. Is there a reason for this?

also

Are the guns you unlock further into your soldiers progression any better than the first few guns? I've upgraded my guns as I unlock them but I can't say I notice any difference from the default gun I started with

First question I don't know the answer to. Bloody frustrating in hardcore mode though.

There's some great weapons you can unlock for the various classes too. As an all rounder, the AK5C carbine is a good choice. It's the first gun in the carbine range. Worth doing a Google search for best weapons. Can be very helpful.

Cheers mate, yeah I play hardcore too and find it very confusing.
There's just so many guns to choose from (too many imo). I'll do a bit of google research.
Also, I can't believe how few Rush games there are on Hardcore. Seems everyone wants to play Conquest these days.
 
Should I level up on the out the box settings before jumping in to hardcore?

Slowly but surely getting there though the matchmaking does not seem to work as there are always folk way above my level 7 soldier

Do you guys use quick match or the server browser?

I use quick match because whenever I check the server browser all the maps are empty.

The same happened in BF3 when they added custom servers, its weird.
 
I think the game is corrupting my game save every time it crashes.

It treats me as a new player when I boot up again.

EDIT: I've learned my lesson, the game has crashed on me 7 times in the last 24 hours, I'm not touching it again until they fix it.

:BRICK:

Re: Battlefield 4

Same my single player save keeps crashing meaning I have to start a new campaign ffs
 
I finished the single player recently, it's okay I suppose, some of the set-pieces were fun mainly for the graphics if anything (the level in the storm was nice and the part in the ship shown at E3was cool) but it was essentially the exact same game as BF3, which is exactly the same in single player as COD.

I dunno. They need to either ditch off the single player part of Battlefield from now on or really go for it and make it a proper sandbox-type game. Bad Company 2 had more of an open feel and that game came out years ago.
 
The BF campaign is pretty much just a tech demo/tutorial really, the multiplayer has always been the proper part of the game.
 
Quite a few times I have been shooting someone at close range and it switches to my knife. Is this something that happens on purpose if you run out of bullets?

No. The knife is a seperate button. You've clearly been pressing the analogue stick down too much while firing.

If you play on PC, then I have no idea :LOL:

Smoke in this game is useless, in BC2 and BF3 it was a good tactical option but in BF4 it's a waste of time.

It's not thick at all and your better off blowing up a vehicle and using that as a decoy/shield etc.

EDIT: It seems I spoke too soon, there are different/better options for smoke to unlock later on.
