PDWs, is there any point at all in leveling them up (is the PDWR that good) or should i just swap to the carbines?
MP7 is also a gem, with a silencer. Recently unlocked the JS2 which the jury is still out on but, seems pretty good. These are the staple 'primaries' of my engineer class.
I've noticed you can get the odd insanely long distance head shot with the PDW's too. They don't happen often but when they do, I'm like WUT? laugh

I've been slain, fairly efficiently, a few times by opponents with the SR2 so that will be my next goal.

Yeah i have been cut up by more than a few SR2s. Trying the p90 at the moment and have just unlocked the UMP45.

The Rules of BF4 (pretty much the same as BF3 and BF2)

1. If you spawn into a chopper, the pilot will get out, usually resulting in a crash and death
2. If someone is guarding the rear, you will then aim forwards and seconds later discover he has f**ed off and the enemy stabs/shoots you in the back
3. If there are 10 of your team behind you, this will not prevent the enemy walking past your entire team and stabbing/shooting you in the back
4. If you spawn into a ground vehicle, you will do so just in time for it to be destroyed by C4/RPGs
5. If you start firing RPGs, a member of your team will stroll in front of you and you will suicide
6. As per 5, insert grenade for RPG.....
7. If you are on a narrow ledge (ideally a cliff of some kind), your team mate will spawn on you and push you off the edge to your doom.

ETA 8. If you aim at a locked on target, the spotter will lose the lock just before your missile hits.

Hi guys. Got my uncles ps4 again until monday night but really want to give the AS VAL a blast. Anyone know how to get it and if it's easy enough to do on a pub server?

Also, does PH have it's own bf4 server?

You need the second assault dlc, then 10 mins in helicopters, and ten squad repairs.

No private servers on ps4 yet, rumours that they are imminent, but that's been the case for a while.

Hmm, I landed on the tallest tower in Caspian, even got about 7 kills from it. But my Multi Talent (I think) Award thing doesn't notice it. FFS.

Nor did it notice my two 10 kill streaks yesterday.

I've been looking into this after having the same problems.

It seems the kill streak counter has no memory and only shows the last kill streak you're on at the end of the game!

This means you either have to land on the tower and do the 10 kill streak in the same life, or you have to land on the tower first (as this is remembered for the duration of the game you do it) and then do your 10 kill streak in the same game.

I'm completely fed up with it - as Firestorm is a tough level to get a kill streak going and landing on the tower isn't always straight forward if the over-powered mobile AA is hiding in its base annihilating any aircraft that ventures near the tower.

Well, I'm still new to it all so still getting used to the BF ways. I'm utterly garbage at most game modes and regularly go 1-10+ on Conquest and Rush which can eventually get quite depressing BUT I do play much better and enjoy Dom and TDM a whole lot more. Not sure why that is, maybe it's the size of the maps. Maybe you lot should play a little of these game modes to mix it up a little? A PH group would dominate the smaller game modes. Not to mention virtually no lag and easy weapons ranking.

Also (for those that didn't already know) I've just noticed how to get some cool emblems today. Login here http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/ watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy2JyL8usy8 and go on here for the emblems http://emblemsbf.com/. It's a little fiddly and can come up with errors saving but if you click off and on the pic while repeatedly trying to save it eventually works.

I was also getting a bit frustrated at my glacial speed of improvement and a bit bored with it. I was using a silenced Ace 52 CQB predominantly and doing ok some of the time. Now I've switched to using a DMR (Mk11 mod 0) and my kills have gone up dramatically, it's useless at close range so I don't get so many points for flag capture but I'm consistently getting 20-30 kills a round which I'm finding far more satisfying, I even managed a 12 kill streak with it.

Nice to be on the other end of the mega irritating DMR noise aswell smile

Unlocked the As Val the other day and love it smile bit more difficult to master compared to pc but get some good kills nonetheless.

found myself using mg4 or aws with bipod and suppressor most of the time though. Aws with ironsights is proper savage

If you liked the move from Carbines to DMRs, try out some of the Assault rifles - I suspect you'll like them even more (although the lack of anti-vehicle kit with the assault class is a disadvantage on wide open maps).

Going to have a crack at the Need Only One assignment that unlocks the L96A1. What I can't seem to find information on is whether I need to complete the kills on one of the China Rising maps?! It states I need to have the China Rising DLC unlocked but, nothing more. I have discovered that the C4 kills need to be made in the Recon class and apparently the Shorty counts for the shotgun kills.
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.

You need to get the sniper ribbons first and these are remembered from one round to the next. Then you need to do the remaining requirements all in one round, I did them on Zavod, so definitely doesn't need to be China Rising maps.

One Sniper ribbon x3.
Get a kill with a shotgun in a round.
Get a kill with a DMR in a round.
Get a kill with C4 in a round.

With the C4, you can either lurk in the bushes near the exit roads from either base and take out unsuspecting vehicles, set up traps in the buildings and wait for an enemy to come passing by, or get up on top of the buildings and drop it on enemies taking the flags. hehe

For PH bonus points I'd recommend loading up a transport helicopter with it and then dropping it on a tank before detonating safely from your parachute! laugh

Cool thanks. Already have the sniper ribbons. Really taking to that now. There's a certain amount of satisfaction in sniping enemy snipers. Have found some new sniping spots, on Flood Zone for example, doing that! I think I've found my favourite class!

Good to know I don't need to be on the China Rising maps. This one shouldn't take too much effort. I'm building up to the GOL Magnum assignment that seems to be a real exercise in drudgery to complete.
I like the idea of jihad helo's, need to give that a try. I think there's a specific assignment on Naval Strike that would be good for!

Ha, welcome to the dark side! For the Gol Magnum, again I'd pick up the power up sniper rifle before getting up the tower - preferably the semi auto one at E on Firestorm. This means you have the one hit kill rifle plus whatever other kit you take normally.

Don't forget you don't have to be a sniper or use sniper rifles to do it, either - you just need to be on the tower when you're credited with the kill. So, knifing/shotgunning snipers who are on the tower or people setting off your mines somewhere else on the map whilst you're on the tower all count! smile

Going back to the C4 kill - if you really want to be sneaky you could load up an IFV with C4, drive it into an enemy infantry hotspot, bail out and then detonate as soon as one of them tries to steal your vehicle. Try not to snigger while you do it though! hehe

I used to do this with the helicopters in BF3... Fly near enemy and let them "capture it".

Downside is about 60% of the time I'd be killed before anyone stole the poxy chopper....
