Battlefield 4- Out on October 29th (current gen)

[Speedy6543]

From what I heard is that DICE/EA has to get approval from (and pay?) Sony and Microsoft first before they can launch a patch to the consoles.
This isn't the case on PC so that's why they have these CTE servers on PC ,and not on consoles, which they update quite frequently with new stuff and so test new things there so they can get a finished patch out to the public, PS3, PS4, 360, One and the normal PC version. And not a patch that makes and breaks stuff.
I am hoping those new things go public fast because there is some good stuff in there.

PC doesn't have these features implemented yet though. If your a Premium member and have downloaded the CTE client then yes you can play on servers with these features included, There are no servers running these features actually on BF4 though. You have to think of the CTE client as a different piece of software than the actual copy of BF4 people own. Yes you are correct in the fact that Console Patches are quite expensive/complex things to release though.

I do believe that the prices have been dropped significantly for the One and PS4. I can't find the source but I remember reading about it a few months prior to the PS4's release.

I suppose that would make sense, what with them being more similar in arcitecture to PCs than the 7th gen.

Sorry. Double Post.

Ok, I need help. I'm on the mission where I have to clear the Valkyrie's deck. There are no enemies left but it says there are. I have spent upwards of fifteen minutes scanning the deck.

Edit: Nevermind. I restarted the checkpoint and took out all of the helicopters before anyone boarded.

I need 1 more assignment to get 100% on BF4 & DLCs. Its the Killjoy assignments. The last requirement is to win a round of chainlink with 50 tickets left. There are a few servers on ps4 available purposefully to do this assignment so anybody willing to help will be much appreciated.

Edit - got it now.

I joined I game of Chainlink with 4 people in it so I figured they would be doing it. The tickets were down to 50 each, it may not have been my teams turn to do it but I capped a flag and defended it from two angry enemies to tke the win.

They finally found the Phantom Initiate password. It is: 24344241893

Now I'm waiting for the math lesson from JackFrags ^^

And here's the post on Reddit explaining it.

I'm waiting for the next patch. Maybe it will fix the things the last patch broke.

Then again, I'm in the same situation for NASCAR 14 as well...

The DEagle is ludicrously overpowered and it is hilarious to use. On topic of awesome weapons, but not the DEagle, the M240B is also awesome.

Done the phantom initiate assignment, SUAV is great for the roadkills as you get an infiite supply of them. I got all 25 in one round of siege conquest, enemy team were camping on top of the tallest tower with the lift. So kept launching SUAVs up there more often than not getting multikills. Itwas an enjoyable assignment to do though. Soldier camos you get are pretty nice also.

Where do you enter the code, I forgot

Already?!
Thanks for the tip on the SUAV's. 👍

Go to the Battlelog site, then go to leaderboard, scroll all the way down and klick the little skull in the bottom left corner.

Yeah I enjoy using the support class and LMGs so it was the ideal assignment for me really. Can't beat mowing down people with LMGs and C4'ing tanks

Yeah I stumbled across the SUAV by accident, I knew you could roadkill with it but I thought you needed a support bag to resupply it everytime. Where as little did I know if you wait 30 seconds another one will appear in your recons hand! No need for an ammo bag.

Go to any map with pronounced and wellknown camping spots (C& D roofs on Zavod, C on Siege, E on Golmud) and you should get the 25 very quickly. If your struggling for the explosive kills, the two fastest ways are jihad jeeping and boobytrapping flags on DOM or Chainlink.

 

[Speedy6543]

Getting the LMG and C4 kills wasn't an issue for me. Throwing C4 over walls at chokepoints and behind corners will get you your 50 kills pretty fast.
Going for those sniper roofs everytime is indeed the best way to get to 25 very fast.
Although I did perform that gadget glitch at first, spawning in as support with ammopack and SUAV but it didn't take me long to figure out I didn't need to do that. So then I took the MAV with me. That way I could look for campers while I was waiting for a new SUAV.

I had a weird match, I was defending in rush parcel storm and I was receiving someone else's m-com arm and destroy points. No joke, I got an m-com attacker ribbon while defending. On one m-com I got points for arming it and disarming it. I went 11 and 21 with over 6000 points top of my team by over 2000 points. Definitely interesting.

BTW I can't find the skull in leaderboards on battlelog

I had something similar but not quite that odd.
I run with RGO impacts and suddenly I received a double kill and the points from a M67 frag.
One of the guys who were killed by it was a friend and we were in a chatparty and he said he got killed by me.
I wasn't even near him to be able to have thrown the grenade.

You are premium, right?

That is strange. thanks for the picture, I got it now, I had to go on my computer, it was tough to see on my phone

 

[Chuck@]

This normally happens when you kill someone who is throwing a grenade.
I even get a triple kill once but I also killed myself a few times that way -.-

It only works on a PC and the proper Battlelog website. That's why it wasnt on your phone.

On the topic of grenade kills you didn't throw. I have a great one captured on video I just wish I knew how to upload it. I have it posted on Facebook but don't know how I could get it to appear on here without uploading to youtube first?

If it's 'public' on facebook and not 'friends only' you can post the URL here and then I believe it should just work fine.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

If you kill an enemy that threw a grenade, the grenade will kill enemy players and say you're the killer.

Ah ok thanks. I will try now.



the 3rd guy is just about to launch an impact grenade but i drop him just in time and the grenade kills one of his team mates. Its not that rare a thing to occur, I just like how clear you can see it in this video.

Thanks for the help speedy
