What does it matter if a pistol/knife server is ranked?

It doesn't in my opinion.

He's just saying it's against TOS. I don't see the problem with Pistol/Knife, those all say it in the title. But some servers don't mention anything, all of a sudden you kill someone with a shotty and you get booted, kind of annoying, because if you rejoin, any stats you had from the round before you got kicked will get wiped.

If you want to play the game as soon as it's released, what is the difference between pre-ordering the game a day or two before release and buying it on release day?

1. Pre-ordering will allow you to pre-load the game rather than trying to load it on release day (assuming digital delivery).
2. Pre-ordering may allow you to lock in a good price.
3. And what if the "bonus" DLC comes out before they have established the Premium package? If you pre-ordered, you get to play it without additional charge. Otherwise, you have to pay $15, or wait for Premium to become available.

If money is the only criteria, there is no doubt that you can wait a year or two and get it all for $15. But who wants to do that?

Besides the fact that you promote their way of ripping out content and selling it again then there is nothing wrong with EA preorders I agree.
Basic BF3 was a TON of gameplay, so I'm not worried about potential maps missing at start with this.

I preordered BF3LE as soon as it was available because I was mad about the game after BF2. This is a mere expansion with a patch. There is nothing about this game that makes me wan't to preorder. And really money is not a criteria, everybody loves spending it but not giving it away. If there is a COD game that maybe potentially as good as MW1 then I think its worth checking out.

Via YouTube - Battlefield 4 | Single Player Campaign | FTW May 2013

Published on May 22, 2013
DICE Executive Producer Patrick Bach speaks to Yasmine Evans and James Hill about Battlefield 4's single player campaign. DICE have gone for more drama and more intensity this time around, and the player is not being locked in situations where things go "Boom". Players can be autonomous during these moments.

Patrick also discusses the 17 minute "Fishing in Baku" trailer and the reception it has received from gamers and fans. There are still a lot of added layers and surprises to come! Finally, Patrick is asked about whether we will see some Battlefield 4 multiplayer at E3 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) in Los Angeles in June 2013. Patrick responds with "well, you never know, do you?" Intriguing!

Yeah except I can't see the logic in rejoining at all in this scenario.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah except I can't see the logic in rejoining at all in this scenario.

I just mentioned what happens when you get kicked or dropped. Maybe friends are playing, it's a high ticket server and you just happened to switch guns then get booted for it (I've had this happen to people in my group while playing). And usually not everyone else wants to pick up and leave, especially if it's a good game they are having simply because one guy is going to get his stats reset if he rejoins. Most of the time that person who was kicked (or DC'd) waits till the next round starts and rejoins. Playing solo, yeah probably not ever going to be an issue, but with a group, it can be (and has been in my experience).

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

True but the admin is an asshat in this hypothetical case. I don't see why everyone wouldn't just leave, same as if an obvious hacker was present. But that's me...

I knifed me some idaho tonight

 

[boise49ers]

I knifed me some idaho tonight

Yes you did ! A few times. That round was nuts ! I was just short of ranking up too.
Tried running the AUG , but had to change to my favorite gun and reset my mouse
DPI after getting my ass handed to me the first half of the round.
Oh yeah and you and Dave still lost that round

 

[boise49ers]

So me and the son were on operation metro tonight and they kicked him. The reason he is way to good. At least they didn't try to say he was hacking He was 50 and 5 at the time.

You must be super full after eating weeds for that long. Let me guess,your fork hand took the brunt of your over exposure?

Well if you would of ate the right kind of weed it would all be good now wouldn't it ?
Is anyone else having orgin or steam issues ? I may have been hacked. Both mine on all computers is down.

[boise49ers]

What's the biggest difference between bf3 and bf4?

Well That remains to be seen. Not sure how we'd know yet as we haven't played it.

that did not help me yesterday. I used sunscreen but when you are in constant exposure to Mississippi sun for 5-6 hours using the 25HP weed wacker/eater/thing you will get burned. The 25HP engine made the load bearing hand throb with pain and tingling from the amount of vibration. It was a setup with a harness and dual handles. The trigger(fork - MTAlex) hand had the most weight on it and thusly the most vibration pain. The left hand side got the most sun exposure but both arms are burning. That's what i get for volunteer work. Also, Origin appears to still be down.
