Just played Dragon Valley,its fecking huge.If you like using tanks/lavs i'd say it will be fun for you bar being locked onto regularly from lots of different places.

Mr Blobby

Picked up BF4 at launch and wasn't a big fan. Seems to be getting a lot of praise now and they've changed a lot by the looks of it.

Might pop into CEX and pick it up again.

Is it worth investing time into this game as a new player? Still plenty of players playing?

IvoryTower

On xbox there is anyway cause it's free on ea access

Thanks in advance

Apparently BF4 is more popular than Battlefront on most platforms so there's plenty of players and lots of servers to choose from.

Really? I played it on BF2 a fair bit and this version feels huge to me

wotzgoingon

Had this on PC and used a controller, used to score around the middle at the end of Team Deathmatch, have it now on Xbox one and I keep coming first and second, so much easier when everyone has a even playing field, graphics are alot better on pc though.

Its deffo way smaller, Bf2 from carrier to airstrip distance was huge.

Korvanica

Anyone seen the easter egg ? Number of switches that change the lights at the temple. Seems like activating them in the correct way will cause something to happen.

Hal1

Yeah there are 6 switches on DV. Lots of speculation as to what they do. I'd say it's a landslide like on lumphini garden. There's a post on reddit.com/r/battlefield4.

On of the biggest maps in the game, too hard to make it Bf4.

good cover of it tho.

Mr Blobby

Finished downloading all the updates and the free maps last night. Its really improved from the early days of release. Most of issue's i had have been completely fixed!

Dragon Valley is really fun! It's a Chopper's paradise if you have a decent pilot and gunner.
Will try join up with a clan so solo play doesn't become stale.

dreamers75

takes a while to get going lad who made the video wants you to see him for a while.

But the 2 lads.....jaysis

Dcully

I see they are both banned,great stuff.

Dcully

I was a massive critic of the state BF4 shipped in, netcode was a total joke, i said it many times early days on this forum and got slated for it by certain members here, one even tried to tell me there is no such thing as netcode :rolleyes:

Anyway the game is now vastly improved, many of us quit for a long time, i know many who still haven't tried it it over 18 months, seriously these people need to play it again, it has changed dramatically, it took two years but better late than never.

I hopped on last night out of curiosity after watching the video above and had a blast. Can see myself playing a bit more as it certainly still seems very active, so add me if you want.

A quick question, have the c4 been nerfed? I was trying to blow up tanks last night and found that 2 charges weren't getting the job done.

Yeah they reduced the damage dealt to vehicles, takes 3 now. As someone who enjoys being in tanks however, it can be hilarious watching them flailing around trying to throw that extra C4 at ya :pac: Still, overall it was an unnecessary nerf. They reduced the damage blast radius as well so it's less effective on infantry as well.

Hmm, 3 seems a bit much, seeing as you can only carry 2 at a time. I suppose it does force teamwork somewhat.

You can carry 3 or 6 C4 depending on loadout.

Think you're thinking of AT mines or something.

I'm up on it too. Actually, considering how popular it is with boardsie members, we should all add each other.

I'm open to correction but I'm almost 100% positive that you can only carry 2 at a time. You can restock using your own ammo box alright though but that's very slow

Mr Blobby

I'll be on tonight if anyone wants a match.

Unless they changed it recently (haven't played in a few weeks) 3 is the normal amount and 6 if you have that team skill selected, plus unlimited if you're support as you mentioned.

Only picked up bf4 on ps4. Had it on PS3 before this. Has anyone seen a problem on ps4 with controller becoming floaty and unresponsive. My character can go into random spinning on the spot. I swapped controller but the other one was the same. Checked on destiny and it was working perfectly.

osheen

Just upgraded to ps4 myself last month but I haven't encountered this issue at all . Could it be this disc?

It was a download rather than a disc.

TerrorFirmer

Picked up BF4 on the 360 for a laugh, it was reduced to only €2 in Argos.

The multiplayer....I honestly don't know why they bothered, and why people would even bother either.

The maps appear to be the same size, but.....visually, it looks like the PC version set to lowest settings and forced at 800x600 resolution, and there's only 12 players per team!

Not a good experience, would probably drive me into the arms of COD if I was solely a 360 player.

I had that problem aswell when i was playing Bf4, thought it was the controller, done the reset, same thing, bought a new controller, same thing. Its like the game thinks the Right stick is stuck in a certain direction.. never got to the bottom of it

There are 16 players per team on the 360 and the maps are adjusted with fewer capture points than the 64 player servers so there are plenty of opportunities for decent firefights

As for the graphics. I find them to be very impressive, but then I remember what BF2 looked like. I haven't played a lot of games on the 'next generation' consoles but they're hardly mind blowingly better than the best games of the last generation. PC gamers take these minor differences way too seriously imo. It is actually possible to enjoy a game at lower than 60fps and uhd resolution.

I'm the kind of guy who appreciates the top end in technology but don't need to always have the latest version of everything, but each to their own

TerrorFirmer

It's 12v12 on the Xbox 360, and 32v32 on the Xbox One/PS4.

Games like COD on the last gen consoles still look OK, because they don't have the scope and scale of games like Battlefield, which suffers far worse from the limited hardware.

Lower than 60fps and uHD resolution? The game runs at sub 720P at 30fps with 60% less players. That's hardly minor nit-picking.

BF4 on the Xbox One is still a technically inferior game to the PC version (720p 60fps I think) but I wouldn't care about that, because the core BF4 game still works the exact same way - the way it was designed to.

The difference between the 360 and Xbox One versions is night and day, gameplay and visually wise, totally different games.

It's 900p I believe

Sorry you're right on the player count. I'm not really with it today (stuck in hospital)

I'm just happy that I got to play this game on the 360 and I think they did a really good job.

At the previous switchover between ps2 and ps3 i kept playing bf2 modern combat on the ps2 and I love that version of the game. I genuinely prefer it to the pc version of BF2

Can never find a game of rush on bf4. All the others are fine. Rush was brill on bf2. Am I doing something wrong.

yup, and if you try and use the quickmatch function, you'll end up in a server on your own. happened to me twice over the weekend.

With 500 hours bf I think I played it once!

Can you not find them pretty easily in the server searches - set game type to rush?
