Anyone else here thinks the reload animations are really boring? I loved the animations in BF3, especially the AEK, M416, AN-94, REX, and .44 Magnum. The only animation I like in BF4 is the new AT Mine, I forgot the name of it.

For those who downloaded the game on PS4, did anyone else find that the installation took a very long time? On the main menu of BF4 it says "Story Installation 100%" and "Rest of Game x%", but it's taken at least three/four hours.
Anyway, I played the opening of the story, and I must say that I am impressed so far. The visuals are amazing, and there were one or two moments during the cutscenes which where really eye opening. It's nice to play a shooter that actually uses the trigger for shooting as opposed to R1, it's just much more comfortable with the DS4.
I just cannot wait to play online 👍

I played a few rounds of pistol only TDM yesterday, in one round I got 50-13 in a 100 kill game (and only got 10 skill for it!) because I used the G18 and at one point - the first five minutes of the game - it was me vs. five people so after I 'hit my stride', so to speak, I had plenty to shoot at.
Then I tried sniping to get some marksman ribbons, the best I managed was a 85 metre headshot. That was pretty dire.

I am not playing well or should I say playing well in any consistent fashion. For every one good game I have, it seems to be followed up with two or three okay games and one very bad game. While bad games are not the end of the world, being on teams that do not know their heads from their bums and losing what seems a lot of games is becoming quite tiresome. Maybe I need to jump back into Borderlands 2 or Civ 5 or [insert other Steam game here] for a few days.

I have played 3-4 games of Conquest so far on Paracel Storm and the map with the huge satellite dish, and I must say that this game is much much better than Ghosts already.
The visuals are fantastic, the pace of the game is almost perfect and the lack of annoying 13 year old's saying they had sex with my Mum and Grandad is even better 👍.
I played BF3 last-gen and even though I thought it was a good game, I never once felt like I would play the game for the whole of the games lifespan, and I didn't. The game was too slow paced for me as the maps were too big for the amount of players that were playing.
But in this game there are more players per match so the game is much more fast-paced, but not too fast.
I don't think i'll ever play COD again.

Anyone know what the patch was supposed to fix? Updated tonight and played for just over an hour. Game froze once and the sound still took a while to "load" at the start of a new mission. Still enjoying it so far. Want to go back and finish the campaign. I was a couple missions in when my save magically disappeared a while ago.

Don't forget to get a marksman ribbon you don't need a single 250m headshot. Getting for example a 100m and three 50m headshots will suffice. The distance of your headshots in a game will accumalate to 250m so you can get a marksman ribbon easily if rack in a few headshots. Ofcourse, A single headshot of 250m or greater will still grant you a marksman ribbon. You probably know this but its worth mentioning for others, As I didn't know this at the start.

Strange, only real issues I've had on PS4 is occasional stuttering particularly while driving a vehicle. Never had any crashing issues that I can recall.
Using the upgrade from PS3.
Did you ensure that while upgrading/downloading that the PS3 disc wasn't in the PS4 at the time as apparently this can corrupt the install.

A couple reinstalls had it in and a couple did not. I tried the upgrade a minimum of 10 times.
I have also reinstalles the full digital version no less than 4 times (gme disc in its box on the shelf). Glad i dont have limited data.
Starting to think its a memory issues with the ps4. But i would think a reboot would clear that up for a few more rounds.

I played about 3 hours straight the other night on PS4 with 4 friends (full squad all night was epic). Not 1 person had an issue right up till I finished it was fine. Still had sound issues and stuff like that but nothing too bad really.

Same for me, No complaints on the PS4 version at all. Just two instances since release where the games stopped and gone back to the PS4 home screen. Which isn't a big a deal as it was on PS3 because on that it froze the console and you had to hard reset the system.

Yeah, I know, but I suck at getting headshots! I might get one or two 80-ish metre headshots in the average game, beyond that I have no luck. With the rangefinder and 40x scope on the CS-LR4 I can hit targets that aren't moving, but getting a headshot is tricky and so often I'll shoot and the target will move... I did just get my 8th ever marksman ribbon though, I got a 350 metre headshot on a guy who had his bipod deployed.

I snipe very rarely, When I do its in a map popular with camping snipers. Such as the roofs of Zavod for example. Its really easy to snipe them of the roof as you can hide in foliage and they wont know where you are. Plus they normally have a beacon down so you can get multiple fast easy kills on the same person. Even better if its a few up there. This is how I tend to get ribbons the fastest. I find being on the ground sniping the roof campers is easier than being on the roof itself as there's a lot more opportunity for good hiding spots and camouflage compared to being on a roof. It sounds like you try to get longer range headshots using the 40x, Where its much easier and faster to just find a snipers nest (zavod roof) and just keep picking them off from a closer comfortable range.

Yeah, I actually joined a snipers only TDM earlier on on Golmud and got two more marksman ribbons (for a total of 10 ever in BF4!) using the M40 with an 4x scope, so maybe I will stop trying so hard (which results in me dying a lot) and try a less extreme rifle in normal games. Thanks for the tip!

It's actually kind of nice to play the smaller games too like defuse, obliteration, and TDM. I played a round of obliteration at lockers and the was insane, QBS shotgun heaven for me.
How do you find single map servers and one weapon servers like "pistols only" like neema was talking about?
