A Few Noob Questions

Ok, so bought BF4 this weekend, decided to jump ship from PS3 to PC…very happy with BF4 Flawless on ultra, however..a few questions:

Why can’t hear anything with regards to voip? Normally on ps3 you hear a few kids screaming and the odd decent player up for a normal chat. I’ve checked all settings, but there’s nothing…do I need a separate teamspeak client?

How the fuck do you guys fly jets with a mouse?

How do i change my Origin ID? Or am I stuck with it? I bought the game with my old username, which i don’t want. Is there a way to change ID?

Are the slow loading times for each map normal? I’m running an i5 4670k, 8gb ram, R280x and it still takes a few minutes to load up.

Thanks in advance.

I honestly think some people just don’t talk. I hate playing in squads where no one uses a mic. I try to play with friends who have mics.

As for jets, I connect my xbox 360 controller to the PC and have a much better time. However, people just plain practice a lot. Maybe more dpi in the mouse?

With changing your name it is possible and I’ve changed mine.

I have no idea what’s up with the slow loading times. Sometimes my match will load up before everyone else. Sometimes my team will already have taken over half the points by the time I get in.

I would stick with the mouse for flying - go to the practice map and keep trying, it really does become easier and makes sense after a while..

All you need to do to speak is press alt. I guess some people just aren’t that social. Give it some time and you’ll find that some of the best players and the best times are when you have people talking.

Once I finish downloading this massive game, I’ll play with you. I’m excited to start up BF4 for the first time.

Flying a jet isn’t too bad with a mouse, the helicopter is tough. I have an Xbox controller though

i invert fly controls for flying jets… makes it easier for me.

press left alt to speak.. most people jsut dont talk much for some reason.

Couldn’t find you on Origin

In regards to the voice thing, I think pc players don’t tend to chat much, even in tf2 I rarely hear anyone in chat and usually they’re having a conversation with another player. I can’t vouch for cod pc. You might want to check the individual servers speak clients thing, some have their own chat groups so you might find people there.

I suck with jets can’t help there.

Yes slow loading is an issue. It effects everyone except those with ssds and really powerful gpus.
