Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

The sp footage is pretty funny in some spots, so many times the helicopters could have evac'd the soldiers yet "noooo get to the roof", landing on ground is impossible, by the numbers pish.

Just not really excited about this at all, BF3 had everyone buzzing for a time, this just registers low on the "meh" scale, probably could have and should have been another addon.

This quote from one of the DICE folks at the end of the press conference worries me a little...

“Social persistence to increase replay value… A single player game true to the Battlefield franchise.”

Now I could be wrong but I think what they are saying is that parts of the single player will resemble the online multiplayer, like having a squad and giving orders and more open sandbox style gameplay. Still I have little faith in Dice and that BF3.5 will be anything other than a glorified BF3 mod.

Wonder if they'll announce they're considering mod tools again :rolleyes:

I spent 2000 hours on bf3 and played it at its highest level and ill hopefully be doing the same with bf4

Couldnt give a **** about graphics all going to be set to low when I play it anyway

i don't think dice know what 'exclusive' means.

cos they keep offering exclusive bf4 beta access to multiple groups of people

Sounds like an ex-quake player trying to get the highest fps. May as well go play bf2 if they aren't bothered about eye-candy.

Substance over form... but still.. why make it look like a 1990's game, where's the enjoyment?

Exactly, there is good enough hardware to run these games at very decent FPS with knocking the settings down to 10 years ago graphics.

Our Battlefield 4 reveal yesterday was running on the, just announced, @AMDRadeon 7990 'Malta' GPU, awesome hw! #bf4 http://is.gd/bE1BMN

Gerard · 27 Mar 2013 at 16:45

Wouldn't mind knowing wtf took so long for amd to announce that card.

jrodga2k5 · 27 Mar 2013 at 16:55

For everyone who seems in a rage about this...what did people seriously expect?

Better graphics, hopefully the makings of a better single player experience (looks like it could be), multiplayer will be the same as always albeit refined.

Video used to show off Frostbyte 3 and we'll hear some stuff about the multiplayer soon no doubt.

Sod ordering from origin £55

http://www.shopto.net/video games/pc/PCBF4-battlefield-4-inc-premium-edition-expansion-pack-dlc

job done.

Kinda skeptical... seeings as there is no info on DLCs or Premium yet from EA. I'm not giving someone £40 without knowing what i'm getting.

VIPER258 · 27 Mar 2013 at 16:58

Looks like I'll need to save up for that 7990 to max BF4 at ultra.

No, you wont.

Single GPU cards will run it fine.

Jasonst888 · 27 Mar 2013 at 17:06

I don't mind the idea of BF3.5 as long as it is actually an improvement. More stable, better maps, etc...whilst they haven't had as long on this one, they haven't had to build the engine and i read somewhere (ages back) that they were removing 32bit legacy support so it will free up a lot of space, so maybe battlefield 4 won't be such a hdd hog!

Westie · 27 Mar 2013 at 17:07

wow people dont half talk some **** on here... i thought BL forums were bad.. in any competitive FPS id rather have a solid 120+ fps and win/stay alive a lot then FPS ranging from 40-80 and having unnecessary crap to look at on my screen.. and i would go back and play quake this very second if there was still servers for q3 and no i wont play that quakelive ****...

cant wait to rip BF4 up with Punchrulle and cG guys... gonna be another fun 2k hours!

also BF4 will be a success because of the new consoles and optimization, map design, etc is gonna be aimed at 64 players instead of this previously crap 24 players which we saw on the older consoles!

Brutus · 27 Mar 2013 at 17:23

Heads up all BF3 premium users will be getting BF4 Beta keys

Do you use a CRT?

dmcg · 27 Mar 2013 at 17:25

meh expected it to be a rehash ala cod, looks like gameplay will be just as shallow as bf3
