Battlefield 4 Not Happy with BF4

[VomitHog]

I'm having trouble adapting to BF4. I'm terrible at it as a matter of fact. I feel like the weapons are not balanced at all. It shouldn't take me 10 hit markers to kill someone with a 50 cal, or the LAV, and anytime I shoot someone i have to pump a clip and a half into them to get them to go down. I feel like the hip spread on all the weapons are horrible, and the accuracy on the weapons are hard for me to get a hang of. I'm probably not the most accurate person playing this game, but I was never this bad in BF3. To me the engineering class is worthless. The PDW weapons are complete crap, and the RPGs do no damage.

I also feel like the new engine has made BF4 look to acardish and more like COD.

Worst of all I'm getting crashes all the time. I've repaired the install - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/news/view/b4-stability-updat/ - hopefully that helps.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm really frustrated with the game right now. Hopefully that turns around. :chair:

Yeah in the beginning the engineer class is really not the best, but it gets better once you unlock the carbines. Or at least that's what I think. So, hang it there, it gets better.

Personally I love PDW, sure the MX5 has alot of recoil, but once you get hang of it, you can kill people close to medium range relatively easy.

I feel like DICE didnt want the grenade launcher to be too powerful, like call of duty. But I feel like if I locate it within like 3 yards of my target it should bring them down. Also, are there ANY sniper rifles that give a 1-hit kill with a body shot?

The standard rifles do...but within certain range...in bf3 it was somewhere around the ballpark of 20m, I assume it same in bf4.HOWEVER, there is 50 cal, which power weapon which has limited ammo, and available only on certain maps.
They usually located somewhere in the that has high altitude.

The M416 has renewed my faith in the game recently. I'm pretty good with it, but then again it's an easy weapon to use i guess.

I still feel the weapons are way off in terms of balancing. The gunship is absolutely worthless and made of paper. The helo rockets are pretty useless as well. The scout doesn't seem to be that effective against tanks at all, and I have a hard time keeping it on target for infantry. I also feel like the sniper rifles drop off is pretty significant at longer distances. The blast radius on the grenade launcher is weak. I keep dying randomly across the map when no one kills; been told it's a net code issue though.

You gotta remember this..BF4 has more customization that bf3 meaning the default load outs arent going to be that powerful..you gotta unlock them. Im sure for helicopter there are powerful rockets that need to be unlocked. The little bird has armour perceiving round which again has to unlocked. Another thing the AC130 is only strong as your air team...if they aren't competent you going to have bad time..

The gunship has no way to defend itself against aircraft. They've removed the ability for a rotating gun more than 15 degrees.

Yeah it's garbage....

Bf4 still have its fair shares of problems such as netcode,game crashes. However, despite these problems it is still fun.

If want to save some money wait till December/ January. Im sure there will be a sale.
