    So is there any other proof of premium content on day one bar that article from last page?

    There should be a training mode that has to be completed before you can play Multiplayer.
    I'll only agree that this is a good idea if they're not allowed to fly the chopper until they can bring chopper from A to B in training without crashing. This should stop the fcuking tards from, well, being fcuking tards :P

    There should be an option for Mic Only servers, where you can not join the game unless you have a mic plugged in and turned on and available for team or squad chat.
    Only for the console versions. It's pointless on the PC versions, as all the clans will have their own TeamSpeak/Vent/Mumb;e/etc comms, and you can't mute the annoying people as easy.

    Oh, and having a fully working RCON would be nice. It's been so long since I've played BF3, that I forget if it had or not.

    This. BF3 admin capabilities were SEVERELY limited compared to BC2.

    After doing more research let me see..................
    Pre-order on origin for €60 and get "a" premium expansion pack, last year if you pre-ordered anywhere you got karkand expansion pack and i think i paid €35 or €39 in gamestop.

    Heres hoping common sense prevails and other stores etc get it at a reasonable price with an expansion pack included.


    Or pay €70 for the privelage of beta testing the game for them :rolleyes:

    Might sound REALLY petty but I'd like to see them include a customization option for example that you can earn unlocks like different avatar models (heads, build, load -out looks etc). Could also be applied to vehicals where you can have a set apint scheme for whenever you enter a vehichal at a base only then it sets to your set up.

    Always nice to add a small bit of personalsation in something your going to sink a lot of spare time into. Nothing too crazy mind, no one wants to see COD esk genitalia painted on a m1 tank now!

    I'm sure though even if they did this EA would microtransation the living hell out of it. :(

    I am with you on that... like in Tiger Woods where you can pick different apparrel, maybe confine it to subtle things like boots, headgear etc.

    There was talk of a lot of that in the game brief document that leaked a long time before BF3s release. Some of this smacks of BF4 merely regaining features meant for BF3 but dropped.

    I wouldn't be in favour of this because all the customisations slow down the game and increase loading times. (I feckin hate it about counterstrike, it takes ages to load a map because you have to download all the custom music and custom decals and ****e)

    Does your internet make funny noises when its connecting?

    BF3 on the whole is a pretty decent game but its fragmented due to the DLC, they made an Unreal type game where they catered to everyone with something.

    Now they will use metrics to see what gets played most and make more of that.


    Pre ordered it anyway.

    Including this metric: tens of millions of people bought BF3 and are still buying it, so why not charge double for BF4?! #seemslegit

    I'd wait a while before pre-ordering at that price.Bound to be cheaper on amazon and still early days


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    also if you are already a premium member of BF3 you get access to the beta so until they say what actual bonus content there is, its not worth it.

    Il be picking up another Russian key for 60% of thier pre order price, what a joke..

    just want them to add a grid reference to the mini map


  • Registered Users Posts: 94 ✭✭.skid


    I want the effects of suppression removed while using a bipod. I cant help but wonder why my bipod appears to lift off the ground helplessly while being shot at. Fair enough blurred vision but the recoil is beyond stupid while using a bipod.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,133 ✭✭✭GottaGetGatt


    I want Battlerecorder. Black ops have theater mode.I cant see why DICE cant do the same


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭mozattack


    Anyone know when the multiplayer will be revealed?

    I'd honestly love if there was no proximity scan on vehicles in BF4. Make errr... tanking an actual skill again please.

    Honestly havent used proximity scan in months, the reactive armour is the better option if your likely to face off other tanks.

    Prox scan all the way for me anyway... playing on PS3 there is way more tank v infantry battles than tank v tank.

    I must be the only person in the world to use x3 zoom too...!!

    I'd like to see more grenades, i.e. flash, smoke, frag...

    I'd like to see a person's SS on vehicles in death cam.

    I'd like to see assault class completely changed with a new class (medic) being evolved.

    I'd like to see the ranking system changed so there isn't so many capped out at Col 100. Also I would spread the 45 classes into 3 subcategories (e.g. 45a, 45b) so the icon for each class remains different. For now I see 24 colonels against each other, getting to the top class should only be represented by an eagle.

    I'd like to see a more dynamic injury system, maybe legs blown off on death or something.

    Not sure what format you play on but on console, in most cases you're better off using proximity scan IMHO because it's easy mode. For the most part, enemy vehicles are usually taken by garbage players so I find if using proximity scan myself, being a quite strong tank driver I feel, I'll fancy my chances against another tank as people are seemingly unable to grasp the fundamentals of how to use a tank.

    I used to use reaction armour only for months but switched it up to proximity scan a couple of months ago without realising how overpowered it is.

    Despite using it predominately now, as per my original comment, I'd still like to see it removed.

    I'd also like to see more points given for spotting and designating stuff with a MAV, soflam, etc.

    Yes i agree with this, its currently quite hard to get good points playing as a sniper/long range support role. I think there should be plenty of extra points for a sniper and engineer working together using javelin and soflam.

    As per the tank comment previously, i play on PC on alot of armoured maps, so on many of these maps, Tanks, Helicopters, Aircraft attacking me are more dangerous than infantry for many maps.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    People play on death cam servers?

    I wouldn't mind seeing dumb mines. I tend to abuse AT mines a lot, removing their IFF capability with some sort of mine sweeping mechanic could be interesting in larger vehicle maps. Or even have mined areas within some maps that force you take alternative routes or invest in mine sweeping (at the expense of something else).

    Also I want to be able to frisbee throw mines again. I had great fun in BC2 fecking one over a rock and chase it with a nade or rpg to take out half the enemy team. :D

    More importantly I want to see fewer specialised maps. CQ and AK were frustrating because they forced you into one type of gameplay. Most maps should have a nice mix of open areas and tight urban to force you from vehicle to infantry as the game ebbs and flows. The TV station in Sharqi Peninsula being a good example.
