Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

[eekfek]

As long as BF4 is as much fun as BF3 I couldn't care less if it was made for consoles.

Can someone suspend dg again for the sake of everyone else?

For my personal little bit of peace ignore is sufficient!

 

[liamcrane]

I actually really like BF3 so i'll be more than happy with some new maps and a few new guns if the game plays the same

 

[Neil79]

pah, I'll let the others run all over you, Mr Developer/game tester!

 

[Fr0dders]

it is a console game !

you just think it happens to be a ps3 exclusive for no reason with bf3 for eg .

it is catered mainly for consoles. all rest is marketing to get pc players on board. which EA do do well.

Why is the PC version actually superior in many ways then ?

It's a multi platform game designed to appeal to as many as possible. Just because Sony managed to brag a 1 week exclusive access to the DLC doesn't mean the game is more one platform than the other.

BF3 is going to have 64 player MP on the next gen consoles so any argument that the small map sizes are due to console will be null and void. I bet they will still have caspian border sized maps in BF4 however, as DICE know this makes it more accessible to casual gamers who want to get into the action quick.

The argument about the COD crowd won't work either, as they are more likely to play TDM than conquest

Saying the next COD will be better than the next BF is like saying my cats next **** will be better than my dogs next ****.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

not being funny neil but you script in most of your games so your point is mute.

arma 3 is dog****.

basically they have tried to cash in a little by adding a few consoley type features.

the movement is worse, aiming worse, helicopters 200 percent worse.

only better thing is graphics. its early so hopefully they change a lot of it.

Arma 3 hasnt been released yet you cant call it **** on the back of an alpha, the devs have already said for instance that the flight model is temporary and will be sorted for release.

 

[Zbornak]

Saying the next COD will be better than the next BF is like saying my cats next **** will be better than my dogs next ****.

I think many of us won't actually know what you mean by that. I prefer BF to CoD but I also prefer cat poo to dog poo.

Keep it on topic please.

I have a feeling they may try and marry some of the ideas in BF3 with BFBC2. Especially single player wise such as the character camaraderie etc...

 

[setter]

If they could bring the vehicle balance of bfbc2 into bf4 it would be a great improvement. In bf3, the vehicles have a massive advantage over infantry. Often requiring 5 or more rpg hits to take out a tank or ifv.

This I agree with to a certain extent. However, a tank vs one engineer, usually the tank should win. But, when you have more than one engineer vs a tank, they can reck havock.

The problem is not the balance, but how they can promote more team work. Thats the thing I enjoyed in BFBC2, coming from COD4, the team work.

I think BF4 will be more like BF2 than BF3, from what I've read anyway. They're bringing back the commander role and battlerecorder. Spacing out the flags / MCOM's more on MP maps. And the single player will aparrently be more sandbox style, as opposed to the CoD style of being led around by the nose. Personally I'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah I read this as well, won't stop the haters finding other things to complain about though. OMG WORST HITREG EU!

 

[~>Dg<~]

because its true

bf games are now console catered for primarily.

people on pc then wonder why they have issues its simple because you playing a game optimized on a console. it really is that simple.

hoping for another bf2 lol. it wont happen forget that dream. its long gone.

bf4 is bf3 polished with few new maps.

imagine pimp your ride bf3 goes in then bf4 comes out glitz new rims but still the same ol ****

EA /dice cant do hitreg .

 

[eekfek]

the hit-reg in MoH 2010 was perfect, wrong again Dg.

 

[~>Dg<~]

yes because it was server side which wont happen again now as they are console games.

look at all fps games that use server side cod 4 , cs , moh 2010 some of best reg available.

even bf3 had server side at start and was a lot better then they changed it to client side one of the bf devs said recently that client side is better so expect client side again for bf4 so the rubber band hitreg is here to stay in bf games.

 

[1kiwi]

Does anyone know yet if they are optimising BF4 for Xbox 720 and PS4? I'm actually quite excited about the next fews of gaming, assuming that higher spec consoles will push the overall quality of PC games.

Are any console gamers here that can confirm how Sony and Microsoft handled the last transition? How long before games became Xbox/PS3 exclusive?

 

[eekfek]

I have no problem with hit-reg in BF3, sure I die when I'm in cover sometimes but it's not the end of the world and certainly wouldn't influence my purchase of BF4.

 

[setter]

The reg in bf3 can be annoying, but it does show that even dice know it's badly flawed when they have to add a network smoothing factor option. Bfbc2 and moh 2010 had much better reg, hence no need for a network slider. Bc2 in particular was abysmal when it used client side, the moment it switched to server side the difference was like night and day.
