Good minds think alike. I was going to spend the first two days rinsing the single player. Completing it on hard etc. Drink in the graphics and run lots of benchmarks. Then never touch it again and settle in for MP. :cool:

Nah, it worked a treat for BF3. Just needed to do it the once and that was it. I hope that is it anyways and they haven't done something but it ran a check - see I was an American - off I went.

Worked for BF3 but they changed it for warfighter so you needed a vpn constantly on which from what ive read made it unplayable with lag. Id be surprised if its not that way for bf4.

I'm tempted by BF4, but afraid that I'll get bored of it even quicker than I did BF3...

Fps is just rinse and repeat with slightly better graphics these days. Still fun but every year it gets that little bit more boring. Maybe i just over done it years back but i don't have the same desire to play like i did with soldier of fortune 2, bf2 and cod 1,2,3 and 4.

If your wife loves kinect then by all means lol anything to keep the other side happy. For gaming though this gen i found having both consoles pretty much like having the same machine apart from the odd game that was ps3 or xbox only. I guess i am showing my age now as i have had just about had every console that exists. Less gaming less want pretty much.

Spot on dude. I just want them for the sake of having them really. I dont drink or smoke so I can justify blowing any disposable income on my only vice but your are 100% bang on by saying they are pretty much one in the same now except the PS seems to get the better exclusives

Can you not just disconnect your vpn after you have launched the game? This has always worked for me, which includes a few origin games :D

EDIT, this also worked with MOH Warfighter, for everyone i played it with too...

Been away for the weekend, are there any new reviews/price/release date released yet?

Basically all we know is the r9 290x craps all over the gtx780 at 4k resolution. As for normal resolutions like 1080p there is no information. If the performance at 1080p is just as good then you are looking at around 20% more performance over a gtx780 and around 10% over a titan. Nvidia usually have good performance at the most used resolution's so my guess would be around titan performance for around just over half the money.
