It's only a 1 week trial and August 14 is the last day to download it. The 1 week trial starts when you start up the game

yes that^

My battlelog has gained more stats since the last time I posted. Any comments? I am now in the top 1% (#582 out of 160171) for skill tier, so I assume that is good right ? :D

ooooh and top 2% for recon :D

m8 you need to empty out your shit bucket

Should I get BF3?

Actually sounds a lot better than 4...

And cheaper since I'm that kinda guy.

I like 4 a lot more than 3.

4 is OK now. If you get premium you get to download the CTE client which is bf4 but 800x better since its a testing server

if your not going to get bf4 w premium and cannot stand the absurd bugs in the game. Then i say buy the premium edition for 3.

The bugs are really not that bad anymore. The game doesn't freeze up too often anymore (even better if you download it on your system so you dont have to run a disc).

The bugs really do not impede on the game anymore. Sure sometimes when a building is collapsing and you are in a area that looks safe (like parachuting out of the building) it will still kill you.

The biggest issues still in the game that actually affect anything is-
The audio not loading for the first minute of a match, reloading sometimes failing to provide an animation, and iron sights sometimes glitching upon aiming down them.

Well I got BF3 anyways...

It's alright. Should keep me busy until Destiny comes out.

yeah that will. Have fun being stomped on by ****bucketers and there M16A3 grip, hbar, kobra

Eh.

Stomping them back with the AEK, grip, silencer and kobra.

Lmao the M4 trolled the hell outta me with that 2 round burst.

And here I thought I was going to get the glorious M4-A1 for the Russians...

Should've read.

The M4A1 is unlocked for the Russians. Its the last unlock in the engineer class though.

Also Ghetto stop nagging like seriously. I play BF3 and rarely see people using m16. If anything I see more SAIGAs and M416s than M16s. M16 is far from OP. Especially with or without hbar. Stop nagging.

I seriously don't see what's so OP about the M16-A3.

The only problem I have in-game are shotguns and snipers.

Snipers most of all since I suck at using them and they're a pain in the arse to kill.

The M16 and M416 are great guns because they are extremely versatile. There's few engagements where you're at a disadvantage with those rifles, while most other guns in the game are specialty weapons. If you're using the AEK, you're taking away some of your longer range capabilities to boost your short range effectiveness. Snipers are the opposite. Shotguns eliminate all their long range effectiveness to dominate in CQC. With the M16 you can succeed in most situations, while with other weapons you have to control the engagement some. It's versatility makes it kinda OP.

I simply disagree. While they are put at a versatility, they do not excel where others do (Sniper > M16-al, long range) (Shotgun > M16-a1 short range).

You also have to use assault class, so anyone sporting an assault rifle is not going to have much to work with in terms of infantry vs vehicle.

What you said about the AEK is true. It does give up range, but wouldn't you rather have an AEK when you are inside a hostile building rather than an m16? I know I would.
