I think maybe PS3 to PS4 converts will enjoy the BF3 to BF4 leap because of the move from 24 players to 64 players... for PC surely this is just like a patch?

(then again, if it isn't broke, why fix it?)

I am honestly sick of the *Its no different from Bf3* posts all over the place.

Its the same engine so what?

Did Bad Company 2 feel like a *patch* for bad company 1 on the ps3?

It was the same engine. (oh i'm sorry 1.5 *rolleyes* )


No its a full on sequel and there is more then enough original content to show so.

I do get p!ssed off reading all the moaning about a game that hasn't been released yet.
Simple fact is if you dont like it dont buy it.

I try not to read any forums about battlefield in general as "OP this OP that" is all i ever see.

I say this about other places not here and the fine folks that give us there input.

Are the map sizes on PS3 going to be different from PS4 - little bit concerned that the game isn't going to be as good on PS3 due to the lower player number cap ?

Best clip I have seen in a long time.

x40 scope for Recon... wow!

Love the way it is set up, excellent.

Some load of attachments.

4 kinds of suppressor - wierd.

It'll be more a case of there being no Large Conquest though. For example, on PC there are 7 flags on Gulf of Oman to capture, whereas on PS3 and 360 it's limited to 4 flags. Likewise with Caspian Border where there is 5th flag (beside the antenna) for PC players while us on the current consoles are stuck with 4 flags only.

They're showing the Obliteration game mode now btw.

Yeah it looks like they are going down the COD road with attachments, completely pointless IMO

Range finder, x40 and being able to zero the sights will take alot of the skill out of sniping resulting in more bush wookies in far far away land :rolleyes:

On the plus side I do like the idea of the 12g sidearm and more freedom to pick gadgets.

Please tell, why are attachments pointless?

There are does who mix it up, use all different guns, attachments scopes and there are the painful minority who use M16A3, HB and Kobra 24/7 - I am glad they are catering for the former.

Test range! How cool is that!!!

Nuri, where are the 3 other capture points on Gulf on PC? I presume one is near the last Mcomms on Rush at the building but I can't think where they'd put the others.

To the guy who asked about player count for PS3, I think this could be worse for BF4 than BF3 cos now 3/5s of flatforms will have 64 player whereas for BF3 they will have kept on eye out for 24 players knowing the majority (2/3s) were stuck with 24.

Until I watched this video, I wasn't all that enthusiastic about BF4 at all cause I dislike being made into little more than a consumer expected to buy an update every year like FIFA or COD people (both of which are games I don't play at all because of this business practice).

Punk buster is always kicking me out of games until I manually update it (I don't know why it doesn't just update itself). BF3 gives me serious headaches with my Crossfire too, so I just stopped playing it because of these stupid things that wreck my head. By the time I get them sorted, I don't feel like playing anymore and just pick a game that works.

However, the level of environment interaction hinted at in that video is quite a big step up in what the game is going to allow and that's pretty neat

Erm...giving players range finders and zeroable sights increases the skill level quite substantially. Unless of course you think this quick scope crap is skillful and realistic.

I take pride in using all the weapons and classes in BF3 but 3 types of slightly different suppressor/foregrip/flash suppressor just dilutes the whole thing. Its like all the scopes in BF3, half of them are completely useless and just filler unlocks.

Currently if you want to pull off a long range shot it might take a few practice shots so you can see what distance/bullet drop you need to account for and corresponding marker point on the scope you need to use but now it'll tell you the distance immediately and you just set the scope to that, no skill involved

These gameplay trailers are starting to make BF3 feel like a massive beta. There also seems to be a lot going on in the maps, starting to doubt Il be able to max it out on a 7950.
October can't come soon enough

BF4 Seems to be a decent price on Amazon at the moment:

PC:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C0W6N84/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=067E0YJ248DJY445K783&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=418445227&pf_rd_i=468294

and Next Gen consoles versions are priced at £42

Not bad

BF4 Beta has been added to my origin page ... pre-ordering Medal of Honor War-fighter finally paid off :pac:

From being an Arma player myself, the idea is that you kill the guy in the first shot

I cant wait to see the map with the dam breaking and flooding the streets.

Has anyone heard them mention or read anywhere can spec mode be turned off server side?

"Its like all the scopes in BF3, half of them are completely useless and just filler unlocks"

I can safely say I use every scope in BF3... i purposely use some like the PSO4 for variation (use that on my Scar-L). I use the PSO7 on the JNG, etc etc.

The more scopes, the more variation - especially when you spent 800 hrs playing the game, fairly lame using the same equipment each time.

Loving the x2 multiplier - think that will be cool with the Holo.

Good find, wow that looks intense.

I like the PS3 version but unfortunately when there are 1/2 in choppers, 1/2 in jets and 5/6 dopes hiding on a crane it gets fairly boring. Add 40 more players and 3 captures points surely it is another game altogether

mozattack

Is anyone not concerned that there has been no released footage of PS4 BF4 MP yet?

I am looking for reviews on last night's closed door play and read one but ultimately it was capped at 16 players with no vehicles. Will it run so smooth with 64/66 players, tanks, choppers, IFV etc?... *worry*

I would use the russian scopes if they were on par with the US ones but except for the Kobra they arn't mostly because they limit your field of view.
