Think about it people jeeeez, metro in BF4 could be amazing. Let me just put a scenario out there....SO the metro is unchanged, ok maybe one less flag, then we get the outside grassy area AND roads / buildings above the metro making it larger yet at the same time for competitive 5vs5 etc we can still use the BF3 layout.

At least that's what I see in my dreams, reality tho will be quite different. It'll actually just be 1 flag in the middle of the locker rooms with spawn point at each end of the lockers.

all they have to do with metro is widen the escalators to like ten lanes or make another entrance and also widen. thats it.

metro would be awesome only if the levelation lets you collapse all the tunnels lol

Enjoying the Beta so far. Runs well on a 3930K @4.4 and a pair of GTX670 FTWs. I'm wondering if the game is memory BW sensitive as the core2 quads seem to be struggling.

I'll just leave this here..

Read that in the graphics card subforum last night. Will wait and see how the final release of the game is. Being as it's an article by corsair who sell a lot of ram, im a wee bit sceptical. But as said ill wait and see for myself.

Be interested to see what effect Latency has as well CAS7 1600 vs Cas 11 2400 for example.

Edit...Setter, a company fudging the results / focusing on silly specifics to sell more product...never

My AMD 6 core is obviously much faster than your mere 4 core Intel CPU..It has 2 more cores.......

They obviously want everyone to upgrade to 32GB RAM like they used in the test.

Look, ive told you before. Your not getting my 4770k, tbh you wouldnt want the hassle. Albeit though it would help save on heating bills.

In the beta i had my ram at 2133mhz, 9-10-10-21, couldnt notice any difference in benches i ran with it at stock 1600mhz 9-9-9-24. I have thought about buying 2400mhz ram as it runs great on haswell, but it would only be an epeen upgrade.

Serine Crossing (not sure how you spell it), was personally the best more infantry focused BF3 map.

Metro is a pretty good map with smaller numbers. With any more than 30 it turns into either a stalemate in ticket hall, or one team ends up base raping the other. The main deployment points in conquest are way too close to the first flags. The rush version of metro was fun though.

sorry setter Metro was a bad map, and so too was Seine Crossing.

I think the problem wasn't necessarily with the maps, just Dice messed (ahem) about with the gameplay. I hated the maps too though

JGStonedRaider · 22 Oct 2013 at 20:24

Metro and Seine are AWESOME!!! The problem is pubbing...everyone on your team is a n00b and has no clue most of the time (well not for me, I play with mates). The players ruin the maps more than the maps themselves..then there are also fast spawn servers (spawn of the devil)

on that note..haven't played Metro in 3 weeks...Time for some nom nom "point farming"

setter · 22 Oct 2013 at 20:41

I only disliked metro on 64 player conquest, far too many players for that game mode in such a small area. Seine and bazzar were pretty ok maps for me. But again the main deployments were too close to the first capture flags. All too often it becames impossible to get out of spawn.

Also as stated above, theese were mainly issues with pub games were too many players were running about concentrating on their k/d ratio and not playing to objectives. For me yes, battlefield means large open expanses as we seen in bf2 and bc2. On a side note, just saw bf4 advertised on telly tonight for the first time, looks so good when you see some of the other maps on a big screen. May invest in a wireless keyboard and mouse and game from the comfort of my armchair.

Metro 8v8 and 5v5 is awesome..

M320 users wet dream

Or in other words DG

~>Dg<~ · 22 Oct 2013 at 21:23

very rare i use m320 tbh

ScarySquirrel · 22 Oct 2013 at 21:43

I've been so caught up in GTA V that I never played the beta. In fact I've not played a PC game since I completed my last game a month or so ago.

Quick question; does BF4 run pretty much the same as BF3, performance wise?

setter · 22 Oct 2013 at 21:52

It's a pretty demanding game yes, last bench i ran resulted in.

Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
14350, 180000, 49, 132, 79.722

Though the beta was supposedly a pretty old build. Took three patches from dice to get it running to a decent standard. Settings were ultra, x2 msaa at 1920x1200.

Gazb · 22 Oct 2013 at 22:27

Interesting read about the memory speed providing a noticeable boost in frame rates.

I'm guessing that going to the X79 platform with quad channel memory could potentially provide even more of an increase to frame rates.

haha enough said. how can you not play a map for 3 weeks.

MissChief · 22 Oct 2013 at 23:17

I used the M320 more in the BF4 Beta than I did in the whole of BF3.

Easy, new flat = no internet sob sob sob. Never fear many noobs got their asses handed to them tonight, but mainly played with the cG guys tonight and had some really close games pubbing against some quality opposition. Had the 22SAS and V2 guys on the enemy team the entire night.
