I assume the share feature is pretty easy to use?

Haven't played with it yet but have had a couple of moments I wish I'd saved.

I used to hate floodzone until I discovered the new passtime of roadkilling snipers on the towers with the transport choppa! I got something like 10 roadkills before getting shot down.

I'd contest the RPG to be more accurate! I've had a couple of crazy long shot kills with it

Did you nail 3 snipers with one 150m shot from it, though?!

Technically I don't even think that shot is possible - the shell didn't explode as far as I can see, so it should need to be a direct hit on each person to kill them, but they were standing beside each other?

It's not that straight-forward, unfortunately. You should just be able to hit "Share" button, then square button to save the video clip, but quite often I hit Share and the square button isn't an option.

Even if you do get the clip saved, you then have to trim it and then upload it to Facebook (I have a dummy account for this). Then you can save the clip from Facebook to your computer and then upload to Youtube.

Takes about 10 minutes once you've got the hang of it (and gotten up after falling off your chair from a flukey tank shot!).

Bugger that's me out then.

I can't be arsed with BookFace an all that, shame.

I had an incredible start to a round the other day where my bullets seemed to be laser guided to the heads of my opponents combined with some helicopter flukery that was well worthy of a share on here!

Keep your vids coming though mate, they make good coffee break viewing.

Ah that must be what happened to me the other day. I got about 7 kills in 3 seconds and hit share for the first time, it just went a bit odd...

No, I didn't no
Probably a direct hit and the splash damage got the other two.

That's what I mean, I don't think the shell exploded?

Anyway, just for you...

You can save your videos to USB and upload them to youtube.

Call me lazy but that's still too much hassle.

It's 2014, I just want to click 'share' and upload to YouTube from the PS4 - too much to ask?

As those of you who played BF3 with me will know, me and the air didn’t go. With BF4 something has clicked - although I still can’t do air to air concentrating on laser guided ground attack. Last night was my best go yet, Hainan six kills in less than 5 minutes with my first PH kill included – Lemmings I bet you loved that – tried to do a barrel role but had to abort.

Bull – sorry I didn’t join chat, not able to much at the moment but could last night but it wouldn’t let me for some reason. Thainy - sorry me trying to join was what was causing me eratic LAV play on Hainan.

Still trying to organise another match but proving difficult to find opposition. Our platoon has got a KDR well over 2 which is, I think, slightly misleading and may be putting some off!

No problem, i was happy getting points for once .

I'm the opposite, since they made it so you cant have the same controls as BF3 i've not bothered with jets, they're too hard to fly for me

Pretty sure you can via a combination of Veteran and Legacy no?

They're worth persevering with - the attack jet absolutely shreds attack boats and Gunships for very easy multi-kills, plus it does add a new dimension to the game if you get bored of foot slogging or tanking.

I tried every combo, couldn't find something the same or that felt natural.

U should clarify I came from BF3 controls on Xbox.
I often get distracted by throttle up being brake on the jets and if you swap those it cocks up the flight controls, basically in a dogfight i turn to all thumbs and lose it...so I dont even try now, I only use jets rarely if someone in a choppa is winding me up or i need to insert behind enemy lines if we're getting mullered.

I've applied for the platoon just now if someone could accept me?

I'll bring the k down
