Premium is definitely worth it. Lots of new maps, new weapons and more server access.

You would be amazed how much of your life is gained back when you stop watching TV like I did. Nielson ratings say Americans watch on average 4-5 hours a day.^ 1500 hours... hugs are free today bro, you need some human interaction lol
...broke most of that time due to saving for a car and a ring.
The game has been out a year and 10 months...that's around 665 days. That works out to around 2.5 hours a day if I actually played every single day.
Yes. Understated it may be. I stated it to gain some perspective on how much time it really is and that I still have plenty of time for human contact. You gotta remember, I don't watch any TV anymore except on days when my fiance and my schedule's align. So everyday the schedules don't align I have at least 3-4 hours to play. This usually happens almost 5 times a week. Sometimes my fiance and I have scheduling conflicts on my days off and I stay at home and play BF4 for 4-6 hours. I do miss spending more time with her, but finances being what they are I have to work nights and she works and goes to school. I'd love to fill that time with other hobbies but all my other hobbies cost lots of money.Considering you don't play everyday that 2.5 hours is understated. That's a lot of time! I bought the game when it came out and lost interest after 91 hours. I salute you for playing 1500 plus hours.
Anyways...back to game discussion.
Has everyone re-adjusted to the attachment nerf's from the spring patch? The symthic.com stats were updated, but the accuracy bullet spread charts are misleading. I've found a lot of weird combinations that work really well that did not work before. Tap fire is the way to go now with almost every weapon, where as before you could almost get away with full auto bursts with the right combination.
A couple weird examples I've found...
-Slow firing carbines (under 750rpm, AK5C, AK74U, etc.). Their vertical recoil has changed so much through the patches that you can now get away with angled grips, heavy barrel, and super quick tap fire. I've also found that I can get away with stubby grips and muzzle breaks, a combo that never really worked before on most guns. Somehow the symthic stats show the bullet deviation is even lower than any other combo and the return to base statistic that was so fubar'd from last patch is only slightly higher than running without a grip.
-Slow firing LMG's (M60, LSAT, RPK74, RPK12) are now godly long range tap fire with minimal attachments.
patch is out but I can't launch yet bc of chrome. need to try another browser. Nobody commenting on the night map or 60hz fix?
Turn up the brightness on the monitor for an easy helper. Only a single map, can't wait to see more.
I don't know if we will. Lame ass consoles can't handle the other two night maps they have ready. So they are holding them until they can get them working or they might never release them. All bc consoles are weak sauce.
FLIR and IRNV aren't necessarily required, but make things easier in many cases.. You can still barely see without them.Night map is cool ... it's damn dark. Here's my first round ever of Graveyard - just squeaked out the MVP after joining late (brag).

Silencer and IRNV are pretty much required but flashlights and flares really mess up the IRNV scope.
Netcode, hit detection, whatever you want to call it is about the same. It's been good for me for a while.

Can anyone recommend another map like Metro? I need to get my reflex/shooting skills back up and that was my preferred map, but sometimes it's hard to find a server.
Has anyone experienced crashing after playing for a 10-15 minutes?
Specs in sig. Firefox as browser. Windows 10
Ive updated my drivers(someone pointed out a hotfix for nvidia drivers causing the issue) repaired the game/ compatibility mode no resolve. When I play with my friend is when I seem to be having the issue. I pick the server the only other thing is we are in team speak3.
This morning after updating my video card to the latest driver I was able to play for an hour and a half no issues. Tonight I get on and cant seem to play more than 15 minutes before I get a black screen blinking cursor on the top right followed by a bf4 has stopped responding.
I gave up trying to update video card drivers for this game. Once I found a stable release, I stopped upgrading. Unfortunately, you can't do that everytime. However, I don't play many other games so the tradeoff was worth it.
FWIW, I'm still using Nvidia 344.11 from September last year.

Overheating CPU or GPU?
That was something that had crossed my mind. I have ac in the house set to 79. O even took my case side off to make sure every thing was getting adequate flow. I'll put on realtemp tonight see what my temps are and report back.
Good lord, AC set to 78?! You must live in the desert for that to be cool. I have mine at 71/72 year round.
Phoenix Arizona. My house is 2500 sq foot with a pool if I kept my house at 71 my electric bill would be 1200 a month
Right now, I have it go to 83 during the day(when no one is home) then when I get home at 430 pm o drop it down. $500-$600
Freaking sucks but the joy of living in the desert.
Night Operations is live not sure how long the dlc has been up it's free like 800 meg download haven't tried it.

I've been playing Zavod:Graveyard shift for a week now too. Did they add the other planned maps like Shanghai? I was kind of confused when my battlelog app told me it had launched today.It has been live for a week already. It came out with the summer patch last Tuesday.
