Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

Wish the multiplayer was less of a scripted event and more actual game play. I actually felt myself cringing during parts of the video at how bad it was, especially the roof of the skyscraper when they were taking the flag and came face to face with the enemy, so bad...

Looks all good however, definitely buying it :)
 
I'll buy if it goes back to what made Bad Company 2 great, if it's towards BF3 then uuuh no!

I really kicked myself for buying premium, even for a tenner!

Still proud to say that the only DLC I got was B2k which came with the game :p :D


Likewise, but highly unlikely that it will be anything like BC 2 :(


I will probably give it a miss even if they have fixed/improved my annoyances with BF 3 (unless I can pick it up for cheap!) as said before, modern warfare is getting dull big time imo, that was why I enjoyed BO 2 SP so much, a bit of future stuff mixed with old stuff.

Knowing dice and their flip flopping antics it'll be server in the alpha and inexplicably changed for beta and retail.

Yeah I am curious to see how the alpha and beta will compare to the final game.

Definitely not doing anything till I read comments from here and youtube videos etc. on the final game as imo the alpha and beta were so much better when it came to gameplay and was seriously annoyed with them removing terrain destruction, changing the FOV, adding their crappy artistic filter (alpha looked the best when it came to the colours of the game) etc.
 
The blue filter is one area where dice totally ignored feedback, people were complaining about that for months and the one and only response dice gave was "its part of the art direction" and that was it. You'd think building in an option to turn it of would have been possible.

Yeah that was a complete joke and is one of the other main reasons why I uninstalled the game, didn't like their attitude at all!

They did originally say that they would implement an option via developer console, however, more or less said, don't expect any bug fixes, support etc. that are encountered with it i.e. when you use IR scope etc.

But then that quickly changed to the response you posted there :rolleyes:

Was such a joke as literally every one hated it after seeing the photo and video comparisons of what the game could have looked like, how on earth they could say that their art direction was good :confused: I will laugh and laugh if they don't have any of that blue, black and white filter stuff going on with the final version of BF 4, as we all said many months ago, expect them to market it as an improvement in BF 4.




Don't base too much on any "confirmed" things unless they show substantial video/pictures (that image is for 360, remember PS 3 and 360 had VOIP for bf 3 but not on the PC) of said features as remember they did a lot of this with BF 3

BF3, but with the stuff we forgot or didnt have time to add last time then ?

Yup, exactly my thoughts so far, what BF 3 should have been from the start.

Only just seen the video's, looks just as good as I thought it would. Bf3 was a superb and this kind of looks more polished and with more features. Really looking forward to it.
 
Interesting tit bits from the live stream so far:

You can now swim under water
You can now sprint in water (ie swim faster)

Supression has definitely been reduced.

Lean has been introduced when in cover

Counter melee confirmed, only works if you can see your opponent

Spectator mode confirmed.

BF4 will feature specific support for the competitive scene.

All sounds very very good. VOIP isn't an issue for me personally as the Mrs would slap me if I was screaming into a mic. I can see why others would want it though.

Anyone said anything about that skyscraper falling yet? Is it scripted?
 
Spectator mode will be very useful to catch those durty hackers and cheaters. I often think that Hardcore makes it easier to cheat as you can't see if you've been shot from the other side of the map or from an impossible position.
 
There you go done!! I'm officially sold...

My clan TFU spent a lot of time on the competitive scene, we placed 3rd at i42 (i think) missed out on a stage place, in the summer we then placed 2nd and couldn't go on stage due to no free cam and unable to cast it properly!

The fact they've now added this will pretty much guarantee its success. We were ripped off with BF3 as to me it was only a demo to what DICE could do.... We're now all going to buy it. So please cry, moan, flip out bla bla bla... BF4 is now a true COD killer!!

All the major players, Dignitas, CMS etc etc will focus on this... CS:GO was big, this might be the new competitive game!!!

Oh yeah + Commander mode and VOIP! This IS how BF3 should have been!!

See you all on the other side... PRe-ordering now!

Bf3 Competitive scene is a joke in the UK only decent UK players are in cG and we've already spoken to born and Sheff and we should have a good national team for bf4 cause the nation's cup was poo poo!

Trust me, at the risk of sounding like DG here, i've honestly heard that DICE are very much focusing on Esports! !!!!
