Battlefield 4.... Is it worth it?

well I was playing last night and found it reasonably enjoyable.

The only gripe I had was, when playing the BSM server. They have a sniper limit, which is fine, however, if your team is over said limit you can still spawn in as a sniper. Then the second you kill someone, you get auto killed! No idea why they can't stop you spawning as a sniper instead. Stupid server imo.

Yes I had this last night too, annoyed me so much. I got a headshot at about 300m and it didn't count because of that.

yeah happened a few times to me too mate. Is there even a way to see how many snipers are on your team?

I think there is probably an icon for the kit each player is using on the scoreboard but other than that I don't know. Its a great idea I admit but poor execution, needs to stop it before spawning the player.

I used the DMR, I dunno if this falls under the sniper limit?

As for the sniper limit, the servers can't stop you spawning as any class or with any weapon, it can only react to a weapon when it registers a kill. BSM set sniper limits due to users asking for it, they only responded to demand. And to be honest it was needed, in maps such as Guilin, Shanghai, Flood Zone and Dawnbreaker you would end up with over half a team of snipers on each side and you could barely cap points without being picked off. BSM promote teamwork and playing the objective and when loads of people started complaining they couldn't play the game properly they responded. It makes the game much better in my opinion as that amount of snipers is really detrimental in more ways than one.

oh yeah I totally agree mate, too many snipers is a bad thing. I just don't like the way its implemented in bf4.

Obviously its impossible for the server owners to implement something like this, but I don't think it would be too difficult for DICE to add it in and should be included in an update in the near future

Played a bit on Second Assault. Liking it so far. They have done what they did with B2K by keeping the maps, but adding stuff.

I don't recall sand storms on the old Golf of Oman for example. Which also brings up another point, they haven't just picked BF3 maps (pretty sure GoO was in BF2), but have gone with favourites even if they are old.

I actually only started on China Rising a month ago (didn't play a lot over Christmas etc.) so didn't do it to death, but still nice to have new stuff to play with :)

Is anyone else having issues with the game freezing lately upon entering a game?

Only as of last night for me, but still persists today. Whenever the game (finally) pops up to show the deploy map, the game freezes and the only way out is to shaft the PC off completely :(

I thought it may be my PC finally packing up with all these fancy new games being thrown at it, but reading around it seems this has been an issue with BF4 from even last year, with various "fixes" not actually fixing it for all.

Just odd that I was on for a few hours on Sunday, but now can't even play without bollockingup the PC :(

I am sure you've tried repairing game etc, a lot of people are getting different bugs/problems each time there is an update, is it just BF4 try another game (maybe BF3) to see if you have the same problem, there should be a few b-log posts out since last update about bugs that might be worth looking at

Only problems im getting is with the flood map, when the flood settles game starts lagging and eventually freezes and auto kicks me.

Every other map is fine and it only started happening two updates ago.

What does the auto kick message say when you get kicked?

I have had a few bugs (sound, white glare{almost like a glaring mist}kicks freezing between matches), these happen intermittently (and not very often now, not had sound bug for over month)
