To me the problem isn't necessarily sitting on a roof. It's ALL of them on the SAME roof! WTF? If you've got snipers all over the map, perhaps it'll work out. But what the hell are six guys going to do all looking at the same spot? It's dumb. I've almost given up on sniping because I'm so bad at it. Plus I get bored. I need to learn how to move and snipe, without just exposing myself to the world. EDIT: Also, BF4 seems like it might be a game that you almost have to have friends playing with you. I'm sure it'll be fun even solo, but I think that if you have a squad to roll with every game will be good. Either everyone is playing the objective and you can all work as a team (your squad and all the randoms), or if all the randoms are sitting there sniping or being dumb, at least your squad can work together to goof around.

I agree. K/D is the very first thing so many people look at to judge ability. If it's not high, they automatically assume the person sucks. Doesn't matter that they played the objective and were more help than anyone else on the team. It would be great if the stat was completely removed and people could simply focus on winning. If win % was the "go-to" stat, I think you'd see a lot more teamwork as that would be the best way to increase wins.

I'm a noob-toobing roof camper!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!!!! No, seriously, it's a decent strategy depending on the game. I do know what you're saying though. I only play Domination as the vehicles destroy me. Once I get the full release I'll spend some time training in vehicular warfare, but for beta, I'm sticking to Dom. My playstyle isn't exactly good for Battlefield. I like to be in on action. I don't like waiting. So, I am one of the aforementioned headless chickens. However, part of my contribution is that I like to mess with the other team as much as possible. I may die a lot, but I at least want to be a speed bump while I'm doing it. Which brings me to my roof camping strategy: if the other team isn't going to take the roof, I will. Combined with the noob-tube, it's a good way to get them hiding when trying to cap B or running away from A. However, I usually don't stay up there long. Either I get popped by a sniper, or I run out of ammo. I've run into the people you're talking about. All the guys are up there not doing anything. It's a bit silly. Also, $20 a month for aimbot? How the hell do I make a program like that?! I can't imagine pissing away $240 a year just so I could cheat at a video game.

That's way too much work. I don't want to make one any more.

I've never understood how these are made. Some shots look like gameplay, so I get that. Not sure how you remove the HUD and everything, but still, looks like first person. But what about when the camera spins around and other stuff like that? How do they do that?! I love these videos and wish I could make something like it. They're very entertaining.

Running on ultra with no issue. Game is gorgeous. I suck at driving, so I'm gonna need to practice that crap. Seems most of my deaths were due to someone in a tank. I guess I need to stay out of the street. Moment of glory that made it all worth it? I parachuted down to a lower building and took out two guys while doing it. DEATH FROM ABOVE MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!! There were a couple lag spikes, but nothing I cared about. Mostly I need to remap all the keys to my mouse. I'm okay with WASD movement, but the rest need to change. Especially run. The double-tap thingy doesn't work for me. Overall, I think think game is gonna be wicked once the full release comes out. If I can have a group of friends that play the same time I do, I will dump ridiculous hours into it.

PC for me! Assuming the beta doesn't change my mind.

Downloaded the PS3 beta just because I had access to it from Warfighter. Got to play one game last night, after about a billion updates. Had to update my PS3 system software, then PSN store, then download and install the beta. What a PITA. Game was fun. Went 5-17. Dual analog is for the birds. Also, there's a crap ton of controls, which I didn't bother to look at first. Took me half the match just to figure out how to run. I think I'm really going to like this game. Wishing I knew more people playing on PC though.

Is there an option for skill level: can't fucking shoot anything smaller than a blue whale? Cause that's the setting I need.

I've got a Logitech G700 I think. It's sweet and definitely does help with all the buttons. It's nice being able to program all the commonly used things onto a close button. If the Nav doesn't work out, I think I'll be ok with keyboard. I'm pretty sure no matter what, the game is going to be hard for awhile. There's going to be a lot of people who are pros with keyboard + mouse. Oh well. I'll just get in a fighter jet and crash into them or something. Or grab an ATV. How fun will those things be?!

But I'm oooolllllddddddd. Ok, not that old. But still. That thing looks like it could kill me.

I was gonna replace the keyboard with the Nav and use a mouse. I don't mind using a mouse, it's the damn AWSD that I can't get used to. Plus the Nav has extra buttons. The keyboard obviously does too, but I always end up hitting the wrong keys. I suck. However, I found some software called Motioninjoy I think. Looks promising. I'm hoping it'll let me use the Nav instead of keyboard. Of course, I have no idea if it'll actually work with BF4. I haven't tried the software on any other games either. I should probably get on that.

I don't understand what anyone is talking about, but I'm still excited for the beta. It'll give me a chance to get used to playing a FPS on PC. Get my controls set up and whatnot. Really hoping I can get my PS3 Nav controller to work. That would be sweet.

I have no l33t graphix skillz. However, I would like to help spread the word so I'll keep an eye on this thread (or any others that have FG stuffs in them). I intend to search high and low (mostly low, as that's where my kind of people hang out) for a large, solid group of people to play BF4 with me. My plan will be to lead them here and never let them leave. Once Stockholm syndrome sets in, we're golden.

If you've never had butter on your steak, you haven't had steak. Here's my recipe for my favorite cocktail: 4 to 8 oz single malt scotch (preferrably aged 16+ years) 1 small glass Pour scotch into glass. Drink.
