Sorry if I'm slow off the mark here but did the latest patch make the graphics a bit sharper and change the way tracer fire looks? I know about the next code improvements but I didn't expect these other two.

I'm going for the "Ultimate Commander Assignment" at the moment, if I'm on and drop a quad next to you can you hop on it and then hop off again if you don't actually want it? Having a 'mare getting people to follow orders (or accept orders for things they are already doing) so I can get the bar up and actually promote / ammo drop etc and all of a sudden nobody seems to want vehicle drops or wants them when I can't drop one smile

I'm just working on 14/25 on "Get 25 Vehicle Drops Used" as I have the rest of the stuff I need, it's a struggle smile

Voice comms would probably help me but I still don't really do it, what I really miss is the ability to type in chat or click a "yes" or "no" response button when people ask for commander stuff.

Yep will do!

The update made tracer different, but i think they've downgraded a lot of the textures. Trees don't draw their leaves like they used to for instance.

One thing I have noticed is more birds.

Bloody misogynist, they're now appropriately referred to as laydeez...

They even allow them to go to proper war now, hence why Havoc was accepted.

Started playing Hardcore... It's the only way my shots register properly in the game anymore.

5 rounds of softcore, EU servers - average K/D: 7/20
5 rounds of hardcore, EU servers - average K/D: 15/4

PTFO, Tanking, Assault, Engr, Support.

Seems that the lag compensation doesn't really matter when the bullets do proper damage. Didn't get any OHK from uber ranges by carbines etc either.

They are indeed, been medal hunting as a quick way to level up. My need to complete things kicked in and I wanted to get to 140 which I did last night. So now I WILL leave off this game a bit. Or at least until they bring out the next DLC and probably make 150 the cap!

My issue is finding another game that can capture my attention. Battlefront can’t come soon enough, sounds like there will be some in game footage soon.

What I really want is a Strategy game, yes I know, I should game on a PC, but can’t be bothered with building them or the cost to do so.

As you know I love my strategy games Judge! Even played a bit of RUSE on PS3 the other day smile

My strategy fix is currently from 'XCOM Enemy Within' (playing on MBP), it really is one of the best strategy games I've played and is available on PS3 if you still have one hooked up I wouldn't hesitate to give it a go!

Hopefully something similar will appear on PS4 but strategy is so niche these days which is a shame.

I've got Supreme Commander 2 on the Mac.

It does well, alongside company of heroes...

What I'm really screaming out for is something like a cross between CnC1 and Act of War!

A quote for those considering Hardline that i've picked out of the Hardline thread...

"The gunplay WILL take time to adjust to as it is so different- less solid in fact. It can be frustrating (I wanted to throw my pad out of the window on Saturday hehe) but persevere."

A less operational core component than BF4? No thank you.

This review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCB5uqAZNxQ of it basically says stay away. It seems to be based off a build of BF4 before the big patches on hit detection and stuff were implemented, so many of the original issues that have been somewhat addressed in BF4 remain in Hardline.

That was my big fear - just BF4 (with all the lag, glitches and issues) with a different look. frown

Won't be taking the plunge anytime soon, unless people on here say it's much improved.

Where are all the AAA rated games for the Next Gen consoles - they've been out for going on 18 months now? confused

I don't know why I thought things might improve... I quit 3 times this evening, once because the lag was ridiculous and the other times because even when I've snuck up on someone and begin firing they turn and one shot me. Best one was a guy climbing to the top of a ladder, I started shooting before his hands were off the ladder yet he still drew the weapon and shot me.
I can't believe I'm still wasting my time playing it. I enjoy it sometimes but it always seems to be players with American clan tags. The other night I went 15 5 up, only for the server to suddenly flip and it finished 19 20!

Roll on May 8th, Project Cars will put BF4 along side the stack of unused games the PS4 came with!

I've started to use the DMRs in the game, never knew how good they are, bloody surgical! Surprised to hear some of you are still finding the game unstable/laggy, for me its bang on 99% of the time, I run fibre optic broadband with a hard wired ethernet cable straight into the back of the PS4, I'm certain that helps the game run more smoothly, might be worth a try.
