I am nearly certain it is getting botted. No way that many people want to get in for Battlefield Labs just to tell DICE how to make a game. Its been consistently over 200k since about an hour after it opened.

BF4 guns felt great except when your opponent was using a shotgun. The bullet drop on long rifles was nice and predictable, even if it was unrealistically strong. But the long rifles themselves were powerful too. I was the biggest fan of Assault class weapons, but I ended up always playing Engineer and using PDWs because vehicles were so massively overpowered and if you were any class other than Engineer you were basically dead if you were in an area with no cover and a vehicle saw you.

Playing against a helicopter whore with a 245 kill streak is not fun. Especially when small arms fire does nothing to the helicopter in the game, but in real life the thing would have been demolished by small arms fire. Im not saying it needs to die in a single RPK mag like in BF Vietnam, but at least give players who play any class except Engineer some options.
