Some favourites of mine:

I miss the MW2 days so much Despite the noob-tubes, quickscopers, commando pro, last stand and all that mumbo-jumbo; I don't think I've had as much fun with a videogame in my life. I got into watching YouTube quite a lot back then and many great uploaders we see today were born out of that game. Just great memories. Not as good as COD 4 but the it was the game that changed gaming for years to come. I remember watching the first ever nuke recorded, Chris Smoove growing from 10 subs to hundreds of thousands and GeneralMinus introducing teamkill griefing to the fore. It was so unique and groundbreaking but as time wore on, the game got a bit frustrating and too many people were trying to replicate things seen online before quickscoping and general noobery became too prominent for my liking. The maps were really good although they'd be pretty big in COD terms now. It wasn't hyped to buggery or very commerical back then either. MW3 just went way over the top in its promotion that people had seen it all before it was released. MW2 was unique as people were still new to the series and learning. It may have created the typical 'noob' type player we see today but for all its faults; it was brilliant for me. If I hadn't boxed my 360 up and hackers weren't plaguing the PC version; I'd go back for a while but it wouldn't be the same as the good old days.

That's probably more a netcode issue rather than connection. I'm still noticing inconsistencies but DICE are still working towards a fix http://mp1st.com/2014/02/25/dice-testing-possible-battlefield-4-netcode-fixes/?utm_content=featured#.Uw4yZfl_vKc HC servers are worth checking out as a good alternative if you're struggling in core with the bullet-detection issues.
-
Oh and that is a reflection on the game design and not the community in regards to objective play not being counted as a scorestreak so players can kill without playing the objective.

That wasn't a personal attack on anybody. The only person who has taken a swipe at people is LC Scipio by referring to Battlefield players as 'BF fanboys' who bash COD in his PPR. As people know, I play on PC and when you have just 2,000 online and people just complaining in the text box; the morale sinks. Empty servers and negativity does not encourage me to participate compounded with the issues I encountered when playing Ghosts that I have already stated. Like I've said in this thread already and on a post you 'liked', I will never criticise anybody that plays or enjoys the game. I speak for the PC version and the PC version only and my opinions aren't reflected to that of the consoles or the community as I am not familiar (apart from BO2) with the game at that level. I wasn't speaking on a broader generalisation reflective of the console gamers and was just giving my thoughts based on my experiences from the PC title.

Sorry, where have I said that?
-
How is Second Assault going for everyone? I'm patiently waiting until the 4th for this but as the title suggests; is it worth it for non-premium?
-
What's the PS4 ticket limit for the likes of Conquest? I didn't realise DICE ran the show for consoles still with their strict server structure. Hope they get ranked private severs soon on consoles with flexible owners as some of the large ticket matches are quite frankly spectacular and the hack protection is watertight too.

I think everything has been pretty much covered now. The most important thing of gaming is people play what they enjoy most and I will never criticise anybody that still plays Ghosts regardless of my personal thoughts and disappointment of the game. I paid my money for it fair and square but it didn't reflect my hopes and expectations. If this was the last gen; I'd struggle to find a game to replace that I can play on a regular basis with friends but thankfully there is a fine choice of titles available now and in the future which is excellent for gamers and should be celebrated.

I have been looking at buying BF4 Premium and there is a seller on eBay with nearly 16,000 code transactions with a website that seems very reputable and has the Origin key for £27 as opposed to £40 on the actual Origin store. The feedback is 99.5 positive and the site has not been questioned or taken down. It's a great offer but is this process entirely safe? I only purchase through the stores usually but seeing a saving of £13 for essentially the same thing seems too good to be true as with many other products from Key/Code distributors. How do these sites get codes and afford to off them at such a cheap rate and why would the likes of Origin allow a trader to sell on behalf when someone who wants something is tied to buying through their store at a fixed price of their choice? I've read a few stories of people getting banned for this process but there does seem to be some 'legit' code sellers out there but I am not sure if this is a fancy scam or if they have permission to distribute on the publishers behalf. Here is the seller in question http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battlefield-4-Premium-Service-PC-Add-On-BF4-Key-EA-Origin-Download-Code-/131019454670?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e815e38ce and the website http://www.gamecard.mobi/

Ah thanks!

Yeah, I'm just gonna hang behind the doors and lob kits at my team trying to get in to C flag Do you get one medkit per life?
-
Exactly. 1D like COD is just a brand that is cleverly marketed. How many people buy COD every year only to feel let down that it wasn't what they were expecting? On PC, Battlefield 4 has a steady average at any given time of 85,000 with Ghosts having just shy of 5,500 now. A bit of a far cry from the MW2 days and even BO2 when you'd easily see upwards of 100k on and the community buzzing. I really miss the good old days of this series.

Holy potatoes that's gonna take ages even on a 6000 ticket server I only have 1 ribbon so far and 49 to go
-
Explicit much? What a fatass
-
I need to unlock the ACE 23 and just gotta do the medkit assignment now so I'll be heading to Locker whoring out the kits by doors as my team tries to get the C flag How many kits does it take to earn 1 ribbon?

Looking at how many people have departed COD in general the past few months; I think most were hoping for a little bit more from Ghosts particularly as this being the biggest franchise in the industry. The formula isn't broken but that doesn't mean they can't innovate and take the game further. The fact that Ghosts has omitted so much of the good points from Black Ops 2 and even their very own MW3 has driven many on here away and in the worldwide community as a whole. Titanfall is of a similar style in terms the arcade feel but the gulf in quality between the two games is beyond ridiculous. I can understand why people still play and enjoy Ghosts but I can also see why people are moving elsewhere onto more ambitious and better quality titles.

Do the consoles just have DICE owned servers?
-
LOL! The lava didn't even move either which was kinda pathetic! I quite like Vahn but I have never seen a man get quite so excited before over a door opening or cable car moving that he ends up with a stiffy in the promo videos Can't be as bad as Tina Palacios trying to sound excited about the fact you can open a container door on Ghosts for no reason whatsoever!
-
Shutting down forever on friday I only used it a couple of times and thought it was a complete waste of time particularly as Black Ops 2 housed much of the data available, in-game. Ghosts didn't utilise it as it had its own app. What a waste of money that venture turned out to be
-
I find the DLC for COD stingy considering how much £££ the community has chipped into the franchise over the years and still we get 4 maps and 1 novelty plus worthless mini-DLC that is dumbing down what was a serious shooter once. Can't they give out some free maps in a full pack or something as a gesture? Counterstrike Global Offensive has over 20,000 maps to choose from in the community and we're lumbered with costly DLC and Extinction which many people don't play. Battlefield Premium seems to offer so much as a package and is great value for money in the long run.

Man Yoo were bloody abysmal tonight! Not a single shot on target I don't think. Smalling and Cleverley both had shockers and the rest played way below par. United are capable of winning 3-0 at Old Trafford but on tonight's evidence, I can't see them scoring.
