I figured we could stop cluttering up the video games thread and use this to coordinate playing times and such. I love this game.

That match I joined up with you was awesome! I went 13-1!! My first two full matches of MP. :biggrin:
-
I was doing awesome in that round till I got DC'd, I destroyed like 3 MCOM stations.

I was so pleasantly surprised when I saw you in our squad :lol

I have a feeling I'm going to be entirely lost when I start playing multiplayer, having never played BF at all before. You guys make it seem like there is tons of shit to do! Does the single player do a good job of introducing you to all the game mechanics, or is there like a training mode or something?
-
There is tons of shit to do, but it's not very complicated. There's an unlock system for each gun, class, and vehicle that grants you add-ons and abilities gradually so you're not overwhelmed with stuff at the start.

DEFINITELY worth going through the single player. Before Bad Company 2 I'd never played a shooter in my life and went online straight away and, unexpectedly I guess, just got shot within 15 seconds of spawning pretty much. So I then went back to the single player, played through it on easy, medium and hard and by the end I'd class myself as pretty good online :)
so yeah, certainly worth going through the single player, apparently it's a bit linear in BF3 but it's still cool, it'll introduce you to parts of the game such as recoil, destruction etc and let you adjust to that before going online :tup
played the Beta and it was awesome! CANNOT wait for this game - it's released 2 days later in Europe though which sucks :(
what's everyone's favourite map so far?
-
Oh for fucks sake, the Amazon BF3 downloader :facepalm:
I wanted it to download the game on not my primary hard drive, as it is an SSD and the required 20GB for download+install is absolutely ridiculous. At first it just plain told me I don't have enough space (which I don't on the SSD), but when I moved the downloader exe over to my 2TB drive it didn't have a warning, and just went right to downloading, leading me to assume it was downloading the files there.
Well guess where its been trying very unsuccessfully to cram 10 GB of files for the past 9 hours.
-
I'll have this game in about 4 days.

It introduces you to some, but not ALL of the mechanics. And the destructibility is pretty scripted in the single player and not on the multiplayer.
The second co-op mission is a great way to learn how to fly choppers though, so definitely play that so you can get comfortable flying them. Jets are a different animal though, I can't seem to do sharp turns with ease.
Oh and thank you DICE! They put dedicated servers on the PS3! :metal
Also, for posterity, a great jihad jeep video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clDpZIaU3-Q
I'm just waiting to unlock the UAV to do jihad UAVs!
Also, is anybody else having this trouble with the beacon: if the beacon is not inside a building when you respawn there it parachutes you into the map. I don't know if DICE changed that or if it's a bug.
-
I noticed that too. It seems intentional, though I don't understand the logic.
Also, I played through the first mission of the campaign. I was pretty jazzed to see it take place on the train I take to school every day! LIRR REPRESENT WOOP WOOP :lol

Did you play the second level? The one from the fault line videos?
If you did tell me, when you get to the bridge where you gotta man the LMG until a chopper comes to do a strafing run is there anybody flying the chopper? Because the inside of the chopper is empty on the PS3 version. :lol

UK release date on Friday, I've preordered for delivery on the day but I haven't had my order dispatched email yet :'(

So here's a "battlefield moment" I had last night. Playing rush defense on the first stage of Tehran Highway as Recon. I'm outside our base on the rocky/desert area looking for unsuspecting fools to cap when, in my periphery, I see a full jeep barreling toward me at full speed. For some reason I decided it would be better to dive to the ground instead of running behind a giant boulder to my left, so I go prone. The jeep hits a rock right in front of me, flips over my head and crashes. I cap all those fools who have no idea what just happened :hat
-
Here's a battlefield moment: Caspian border, I spawn as engy, grab a jeep, and start barreling across the open field. I see a friendly tank take a hit, so I floor it to the tank. As I'm get near, I jump out only to see another friendly engineer behind it, repairing. My now driverless jeep continues going and runs him over. An attack helicopter then strafes us and kills the tank and me. FML.
-
Anyone playing this on PC, or are you guys all console gaming?

so..you and the tank repair person and the chopper person..were all real people on the map?
Sorry.
Im a FPS noob.
It's all GoldenEye for me all the time.

Hmmmm I'm thinking about getting this then if you guys are all going to be playing. I loved battlefield 1942. Always thought that was a great game. Haven't played a PC shooter regularly since MOHAA though. Is this game totally worth getting for PC?
-

There are a few launch-related kinks, but yes, if your PC can handle it, definitely.

It's totally worth getting for any console you can get it for!!
And my BF moment I posted it last night: playing rush on Damavand Peak and going to the third m-comm stations, where you gotta make the BASE jump, I grab a Humvee, drive it off the cliff and survive the fall inside the Humvee.

Yeah there is no doubt my PC can handle it. I'm looking into it. Wish it wasn't 60 bucks, but welcome to modern gaming. I also know I'm probably going to be buying Diablo 3 when that comes out. I just don't have enough time to dedicate to all these games either haha.
-
If you get it on Amazon via digital download it's $50.
-
Yeah that's what I'll be doing when I get home. LATE NIGHT GAMING SESH TONIGHT? I THINK SO!
-
Yeah I saw that, I'm just a tad weary of buying games digitally. I'd much rather have the hard disc.
This game does look pretty promising. It'd be nice to have a first person shooter game to play again.
-
I really wish I had something to run this on.
-
I should be getting the game either today or tomorrow in the mail. I will probably go through the first couple missions in SP before I hit up MP. I want to check out the storyline and get some chopper/jet experience before heading online.
Also, my gamertag on the 360 is 'R3dOctober92' so add me so we can play some MP soon.

There's a jet mission early on in the sp, but you don't get to fly it. You're only the gunner. I suggest you find a buddy who has it on 360 and play the second co-op mission to get some chopper experience.
-
So I've managed to get it working before the actual European release, and it's really awesome. I think it's even better optimized than the beta, it runs pretty smooth and looks great on my not so good PC. I played some Operation Firestorm and Tehran Highway and those were really fun to play.
Haven't played the SP yet, i hope it's better than Bad Company 2.
Oh well, but it's not SP i bought the game for.

Will do.
By the way, got my game just now in the mail! Priority fucking rules!
EDIT: Online pass downloaded and I'm ready to go for the Karkand Expansion Pack. Now I just need to study for this mid-term I have tomorrow morning and maybe I might be able to play without worrying before then. haha.

From Tycho's blog post today:
Here’s what I do care about: people are still, in 2011, driving a troop transport out of the base without actually transporting any troops.
:lol

I'm installing now. My Origin ID is LiamJoseph if anyone wants to add me, I'm going to be doing a bit of single player first before attempting multiplayer though.
Edit: My god, Origin is such a transparent rip off of Steam :lol
-
I was playing on Caspian Border earlier, and it seems like people either don't know what they're doing or the map is a little too big for 24 players. I had to run all the time in order to find the objectives or people.
-
In all fairness, as far as the actual program goes Origin is nowhere near as much of the shitpile Steam is.
-
What is this origin nonsense. I keep hearing you have to install third party software to make this game run. Is this true eve if you install off a DVD disc? I don't want any crazy shit running in the background.
-
Origin is basically EA's steam, so yes it needs to run in the background.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Its really not that bad :lol
-
Seriously, it really isn't. It runs really smoothly, and takes up virtually no memory, and really just isn't there if you don't want it to be. Steam is way worse as far as performance is concerned.
-
Oh ok well I'm seriously thinking about getting this game. Are you guys on Skype to do some serious team coordinating shit? I've realized I enjoy games way more if you can talk to friends and actually use tactics within games. that's why I've been playing LoL so much lately.
-
I'm going to attempt a run through on the SP gameplay. Wish me luck and hopefully its a good experience.

It's a little of both. Caspian border is ginormous!

Ok guys I went and picked up the game today on my way back from work!! Origin ID is: Kingshighway77
Lets do this!
I'll prob be trying it out around midnightish

https://puu.sh/7DyG
FML it's taking forever
-
Mine's installed already :caffeine:
-
Maybe I'll get it in a year or so. :mehlin
-
I started downloading this thing at 4pm. There's no way I'm getting to play tonight.

Have faith, young padawan.
Also, there's nothing more annoying than playing rush and you're on the attacking side and everyone else wants to be a sniper!!!
-
Seriously. I've barely sniped actually, even when I play recon I take the scope off and iron sight that shit like a boss.
-
This campaign is very difficult. The twists towards the beginning are pretty cool. :corn
-
Also, if you only use rockets against infantry, fuck you.
-
Omg. Played through the level where you are the gunner in the f-14. Holy shit this game is amazing. My system is running smooth when everything is set to medium so im playing it on that. The graphics are incredible! Never seen graphics like this before. Fantastic. That jet level was amazing. The atmospheres are better than the actual gameplay if you ask me. It's quite an experience.
-

....
-
FUCK YOU DIMI
-
I think its weird that this game is run in a browser. I wish it had a cool home menu in game.
-
FUCK YOU DIMI
I don't only use rocket launchers! But if they are camping in the same spot, I'm gonna blow them up!
-
Well that's alright. I'm talking about the guys who specifically use rockets instead of their carbine - like those asshats in the garage across the street from the narrow crossing on Sienne Crossing. Fuck those guys.
-
LET'S PLAY SOME FUCKING BATTLEFIELD RIGHT NOW!
Edan and 7SB, added both of you on Origin.
-
Well that's alright. I'm talking about the guys who specifically use rockets instead of their carbine - like those asshats in the garage across the street from the narrow crossing on Sienne Crossing. Fuck those guys.
I've seen it more in the building that's on monument park on Sienne Crossing, they go up to second and third floor and just start shooting them. Annoying as fuck!

Planning on it, yeah. SIGZ GET A NEW MIC DAMMIT.
-

Man, this is NOTHING compared to the mortar teams that keep popping up.
-
I'm still in shock in how great this game is. The SP on console looks so DAMN GOOD. :hefdaddy
-
i am very much doubting that my laptop could play this game
especially seeing how slowly splinter cell: conviction runs on it
maybe i will win a computer lottery soon
-
My first attempt at flying a jet went just about as well as I figured it would. I'm glad there's so many people on a team that for the most part nobody knows when you do something embarrassingly stupid :lol

Did you get airbourne, all of sudden bank to the left and then fly into the ground?
-
Not quite. I flew around for a little bit trying to learn how to steer the thing, then after a second got kinda disoriented, and somehow ended up hitting the ground upside down.

Gotcha. At least you did better than I did. I described my experience in my last post. It was a short flight, to say the least.
-
My first helicopter attempt just a moment ago was much much more catastrophic however :lol
Take off with a full chopper full of dudes, immediately turn hard left into the ground.
-
I'm finding this game to be incredibly difficult to play. I don't understand how I'm getting shot most of the time :lol
I don't understand how I'm supposed to see the enemy and then shoot them in this game. The map is so huge and there are so many things going on.
I tried flying the jet and that didn't go so well haha. Also tried an attack helicopter and that was pretty hard to do also. I'm going to see if I can tweak the key bindings to make my life a little easier. I am used to playing FPS on PC differently than most. I set up the left mouse button to walk forward, right button to walk backwards, then have crouch and jump and strafe on wasd. Then I'll shoot with my spacebar.

What the...how...why? And how did you come to this control scheme?!
-
I dunno it just always felt more right to me. I could control all of my movement with one hand, and all effects type buttons with my other hand. I slayed in MOHAA doing these. The thing I need to adjust for now is aiming down the sight however. I'm going to see if I can map my mouses's back button to be the aim down the sight button.
-

That is the most bizarre setup I have ever heard of :lol

I wanna get something organized tonight, you PC guys. I'm gonna be on starting at 9:30-10pm Eastern. We should group up on Battlelog -- it has VoIP functionality.

Who here has the game for the 360?
-

I'll be on if I figure out the problem I've been having with activation. I'll work that out when I get back from class.

What is VoIP? I say we all use Skype to team chat or whatever. I think I'm going to be busy tonight though. We'll see
-
Skype would work the best imo.
-
like if you join a group in Battlelog, you can voice chat within the group. I don't really care either way.
-
Oh that is interesting. Didn't know you could do that. I guess that works too. I still think its weird that the game menu is basically facebook for the game. It's definitely weird.
-
Very weird. I wish there was an actual in-game menu, too, but I must admit...I think I like it.
-
I think it works. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it works. I just think it takes away from the atmosphere a little bit. I was hoping it would be more like the way Starcraft 2 is set up. I do think it's cool that you have a profile that you can keep track of what you've done and everything though.
-
Despite the current bugs, I actually like battlelog for the most part. It runs quite well, and as a result of having it out-of-game the game itself loads pretty quickly, and alt-tabs beautifully. It's pretty cool to be able to surf the web and such in between loads or servers. Once they get the bugs ironed out it'll be a damn good system I think.
-
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT
I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME
-
Ryan, apparently the activation problems are widespread right now https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/lr4t4/origin_not_allowing_activation_of_bf3just_hangs/
SIGZ U GON B ON 2NIT?
-
Yeah that's exactly the problem I've been having. I click the button to open activation and it just attempts to load the page forever. I have my product key ready and everything.

What graphics cards are you guys running? I have an ATI Radeon 4800 something I think with 1GB. My cpu is 2.93ghz i7 quadcore. 12 GB of RAM.
I'm surprised that it seems a bit glitchy on high settings. I turned it to low for multiplayer for performance over beauty.
Do you know how to get an FPS counter to show up?

Download FRAPS, I'm not sure how to get a counter from the game.
I'm running a Radeon 6950 and can run on max (except turned deferred AA off) at 50-60FPS. I have an AMD Athlon II X4 635 OC'd to 3.6GHz and 4GB of RAM.
I probably won't be joining you all tonight because I'm having an early copy of Uncharted 3 sent to me sometime today. :biggrin:
-
I've got an HD 6950 and an i5 2500k w/ 8 gigs ram. Running on High with no problems....a bit scared to try Ultra :lol

I have a HD4870, Core 2 duo 2.3 GHz, and 3 gig of RAM. Definitely starting to show it's age, but it still runs everything pretty damn well considering.
Also, apparently disabling MSAA is a massive FPS boost, and looking at the comparison screenshots it doesn't seem to have a huge affect on the visuals: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield3/comments/lossk/bf3s_msaa_and_its_effect_on_quality_and_framerate/
Also, to enable an FPS counter:
1) Hit the Tilde Key (~)
2) Type "Render.DrawFps 1"
3) Hit Enter
Use 0 instead of 1 to turn it off again.
-
Thanks Sigz and everyone else. That's some super helpful information. I feel like my computer should def be able to run this game on high no problem. (It pretty much was, but I still felt like there was some weirdness going on.) The auto settings set everything to High pretty much.
Even on low settings this game looks incredible though. When I set my settings to low I was really surprised at how awesome it still looked.
-
I read somewhere that Low is what the console versions are like.

You should be fine, just turn off MSAA.

I tried it. Hovering a bit above/below 60fps. Perfect.
-
I'm going to try this when I get home and see how the system reacts. I was playing single player on high settings and was blown away by the visuals. But I think it was a little jittery. There was also a horizontal glitch looking thing when i looked from side to side with my mouse.
Also, post your origin SN's

This game is freaking hard online >:(

That might be screen tearing. You can fix that by turning on Vertical Sync.

EDIT: Scratch that, can't join it, but I can still become a fan of it.

Hey EA, fix the FUCKING 360 servers! Ok, thanks. :tup
-
Fuck everything about Origin.
-
Also, can we get like a Battlelog/Origin username list so we could add each other like this was Facebook? :lol

but at this rate it wont matter because I'll never get to play

Yes. EA anally raped me once again.

YEAH THE HELL o/

*\o
Edit: By the way, I agree with whoever said to make a list of everyone's IDs, and preferably to stick it in the first post. I only have 2 friends right now, it feels lonely :(
-
I'll get on that. Any PC folks up to play?
-
Yeah, I'll take a break from the awesomeness that is Uncharted 3 and kill some mans.
-
Nice. Let me know if you want your ID added to the top post, people.
-
So I looked and I have a ATI Radeon 4850 with 1 GB of RAM. I'm getting anywhere from 45 to 19 fps on low settings. 30 to 19 if on high settings, but its a little jittery looking on high. Not sure what the problem is.
-
Hm. Latest drivers and all that? PS, fiery and I are in a battlelog group, sent you and edan an invite if you wanna hop on.
-
Little busy at the moment, but I'll join up in a little bit
-
ok!
-
Nice. Let me know if you want your ID added to the top post, people.

two things needs immediate tweaking: Flashlights blinding someone in broad daylight like a sun, and flares on air vehicles making them invulnerable.

I agree on the first. Haven't really been able to deal with air vehicles yet.

It doesn't make them invulnerable, it just renders heat seeking missiles mute.

This game looks incredible but I completely suck at it.

I consider myself a proficient engineer, and a good player in a jet can permanently juke/flare and alternate so they can never be taken down.

2 guys with heat seeking and the juking and flaring won't help.
Also, I love, love, looooove flying choppers in this game!!
-
I'm still learning how to fly both and it's difficult, tbqh. Each time I've attempted to fly in-game, the results were rather disastrous.

You might wanna check out the "legacy" stick layout for the heli, I've found that to be the easiest to get comfortable with.

Any recommendations on the jets? I've had absolutely zero luck with them. haha.
-
So yeah, this game rules. I also learned that it absolutely rapes my graphics card.
-
I FIGURED OUT HOW TO FLY JETS WITHOUT CRASHING!!
You have to have a lot of room to move your mouse around. Don't rest your hand on the desk, you have to move the entire mouse around like a joystick. I went from sucking to doing barrel rolls and taking out two other jets.
-
Hm. Latest drivers and all that? PS, fiery and I are in a battlelog group, sent you and edan an invite if you wanna hop on.
Yes I do have the latest drivers for my card. I figure I shouldn't be dropping to a low frame rate at low settings with the setup I have. I wonder if its part of the bugginess of the game. Reading on their tech forum, it seems there are a lot of issues with the game.
People are complaining about some mouse issues, which I have been noticing. The mousing seems very strange, it does not move exactly as I move it.
Hopefully a patch will fix some of the weirdness I feel is going on with this game so far. But really I just wanna get in it and really play.

huh. letters said he was having mouse sensitivity issues, too.

I beat the single player last night, not bad, not great either.
-
While the single player seems like the typical fps single player, the immersion you get from the environment is incredible. Not the best gameplay, but I found it extremely enjoyable and cool

this worked.
-
I didn't get to play last night and now I'm dying to get on and play. I still want to figure out what my frame rate issues are all about. I feel like there is no way I should be dropping below 30fps on low settings. I feel like I should be able to play on at least medium with steady frame rate.
-
SV98, I love thee!

This. Game. Rules.

I am SO BAD at flying. I wish flares were available at the start.

Is the game running smoothly for everyone here? I keep reading about crashes and freezes and stuff like that.

I get some network lag on the 32v32 matches, and occasionally it will crash when trying to join a game or alt-tab out of it. Once I'm in game and playing though, it's pretty solid.
-
Running great for me with a few exceptions.
1. I BSOD'd twice last night, but I think it may have been due to my microphone.
2. I get inexplicably booted from servers once in a while.
ANYWAY, THERE'S A PATCH ON THE HORIZON
https://mp1st.com/2011/10/28/battlefield-3-patch-details-jets-pistols-and-ump-will-be-adjusted-and-more/
Buffs to pistols, the UMP, and jets.
-
Someone posted a new driver for AMD graphics card on the forums. I'm going to try installing that when I get home to see if it makes anything better.
Also, I just realized that when I click the Battlefield icon on my desktop nothing happens. I have been opening the game by opening origin first (which takes a long time to open for me) and then clicking battlefield 3 from the origin menu.

The entire blinding flashlight/laser sight thing should just be removed. It's fucking retarded.

At least on the maps where it's daytime. They should nerf it a bit for Tehran Highway, though, as its more likely to blind someone in that nighttime environment.

Getting on now!

Eh, I don't really mind it, easier way to pick up my target when they flash me.

From long distances, that's what happens for me. But, when they're super close to me in the daytime, the light still blinds me and it's annoying and unrealistic (for the daytime at least).
-
oh sup, didn't know there was a thread.
-
So a question to you guys: any of you done the port forwarding thing with BF3? Does it help at all with latency/lag?

I don't really have much lag. :tard

Windows Vista 64bit
i7 940 2.93 Ghz
12GB RAM
ATI Radeon 4850 1GB RAM
-
I'd say its your video card, but I wouldn't expect it to be thaaat bad.
-
That is an old card..
-
It's 2 years old. The game auto sets me for high settings though. And on low settings I should definitely have a good frame rate.
-
I have a 5770 and I get 70 FPS with a mix of medium and high. Game autos to High for me too.
-
If you get low FPS regardless of graphics settings, it's probably the processor. Or something else, but definitely not the graphics card.
-
I have a feeling its something with the game. Some levels I'm getting way better FPS than other levels. As you can see by my specs, my processor is plenty fast for this game.
Anyways, I'm on now if anyone wants to play.
-
I admit I'm a bit behind in terms of hardware :P (though I have the same graphics card as you) but I remember the period when I had the 4850 and only a single-core Celeron 4 with it, and the problem I had with several games was that I could run them on any resolution and details settings I pleased, but unfortunately the FPS were low on every setting and it didn't matter if I'm on 1280x1024 and uber-high details or 640x480 and everything set to lowest. If the processor is very good, then it can be something else, but if graphics settings have no influence, then it cannot be the graphics card.
-
Anyone else disconnecting from servers all the time?

My game just crashed and sent me to my desktop

This game is so freaking hard to play btw. I never know where the enemy is, where they are coming from, or generally wtf is going on. I always die and have no idea anyone is in the area. It's getting frustrating.

go slower. Don't run everywhere. Use an IR sight.

DICE needs to nerf the Stinger a bit. Just one hit to take down choppers? Come on!
While it takes 3-4 shots to down a tank with a RPG!
-
You do realize that tanks are heavily armored and choppers are not whatsoever? Also it takes 2 RPG shots to take down a tank.

I'm starting to love playing as Support. Double clip size on my machine gun; c4/claymores; dropping ammo like it's my day job...the good life. And a shit load of points.

Does it? I don't really know that.
-
It depends which side you hit and it also depends on the angle of the rocket to the armor. Ideally you want to hit the rear of the tank with a straight-on shot.

Does anyone wanna play tonight?

I'll play if I'm around, not really sure what my plan for tonight is.

Damavand Peak, Sienne Crossing, Operation Firestorm, Kharg Island.

I love Sienne, but it can turn into a complete shitshow with 64 players.
I think Firestorm is my favorite overall though. Tehran Highway is really good too.

I like Tehran in conquest, but it can get pretty boring on rush. Same thing with Caspian Border.
-
I generally like all the maps. However...Damavand Peak and Operation Metro on 64p Conquest need to go fuck off and die.
I think my favorites are Grand Bazaar and Caspian Border.

Where are the flags in Damavand Peak on PC? On consoles it's on the tunnel, where the last 2 m-comm stations are in rush, and they're only 3. I hope this is not the case with 64 players.
-
the fucking tunnel.
-
Also, Assault is the best. Dropping health is a solid point getter but where it really gets great is in revives. You get 110 points per, more than you get for a kill.
-
the fucking tunnel.
Is it also 3 flags?

Someone buy me this game right now.

Damavand Peak, Sienne Crossing, Kharg Island, and N(-something) Canals (all on Rush).
I played CQ a few times and didn't really like it. I like the team-objectives and frontline-like atmosphere that comes with Rush.
-
I really wish they would implement the sequenced control points like the Project Reality mod did. It was great cause it combined the back and forth gameplay of CQ with the focused front lines of rush.

How did that work? You control all the objectives and then they changed?
-
Basically you had to capture the points in a specific order, so you couldn't like dash to the enemy's first point way behind the front lines and ninja cap it.
-
What I wanted to ask: I remember Battlefield to be mostly about longer-range combat and open spaces, with not much close combat and room for SMGs and stuff. Is this different in BF3 or still kinda like that?
-
Should I get this game instead of Uncharted 3? Cause the commercials look pretty sweet even though I'm not a 1st shooter guy.
-
What I wanted to ask: I remember Battlefield to be mostly about longer-range combat and open spaces, with not much close combat and room for SMGs and stuff. Is this different in BF3 or still kinda like that?
Yeah its like that, most of the maps are very huge, just a few of them are in smaller areas. There still is lots of close combat regardless though.
-
GOING ON IN LIKE 10 MINUTES, anyone up for some games?

Sorry I'm drinking again tonight :lol

I guess I need to check it on youtube or something. It seems to be one of those times for me when I'm like itching to get myself a new game :P and I think I'll hold to my promise and end my long love affair with CoD series at Black Ops.

FINALLY I've been able to get comfortable flying jets!

Had a pretty good game.

come at me, etc
-
are the squad variants any fun?
-
So last night I'm playing conquest on Operation Firestorm and me and a friend are on the jets since the beginning of the match, ruling the air, pwning the other teams jets/choppers and just general awesomesauce. Then when the other team's ticket counter reaches about 30, both our jets suddenly exploded and we "suicide'd"... but the thing is we were not close to the ground, we didn't crash into anything, no heat seeking missiles hit us, the jets just exploded! It was like the game went: "You guys need to let other people use the jets!"
Has this occur to anyone else?
-
I'll let you know in about 12 years after I've learned to pilot a jet well enough to last that long.

I may give up eating food next week so I can buy this game.

Battlefield > Food.
Just buy some incredibly cheap food (Ramen Noodles ftw) and you'll be set to start kicking some ass on BF3.

I probably will. Just going to wait until Wednesday to get it (allowance arrives at my bank).
Also, if Battlefield 3 consumes my life anything like Singularity is right now, I probably won't leave my room to eat anyway.

Most of us are on PC. Here's a story from last night. I'm flying a Russian jet. After I disable an enemy chopper, I get into a dogfight, which I ended up losing after about 5 minutes of doing some Top Gun shit. He hits me with his missiles and I parachute out. I see an enemy tank on the ground so I guide myself toward it. Took a rough landing in a bush but popped out right behind the tank, which I ran up to (while an engineer was repairing it, no less), planted 3 C4 charges, and destroyed the tank, the engineer, and the driver inside.

Unless you actually see him, there's no way to know C4 is being planted. Although there is a scanner you can unlock in the tank to tell you when enemies are nearby.

I had my first real decent game last night. I blew up to Mcomm stations and finished in 3rd on my team. I'm definitely getting better at this game as time goes on.
The thing that happened yesterday was after a while of playing my graphics started to stutter. I wonder if my system was just getting overworked for playing too long, but that doesn't seem right. I think it might just be that one map that bugs everything out for me. Caspian border i think its called.
-
I just went 49-20 on Operation Metro (Attacking) and got 20 ribbons. That's probably my most decorated game to date.
-
Nice, how were you playing?
-
Nice, how were you playing?
Just running and gunning. I got probably 5 or so plants on bombs throughout the level. Most of them were diffused. I can attribute most of my kills due to the fact that the defense took us down to within 10 tickets of losing before we were able to move on to the next base. It was probably the longest match I've played on BF3 so far.
And add me to the OP, 'R3dOctober92' on 360.
-
Are you finding many people who are playing rush and conquest as if it were a deathmatch, RMV?? It's unbelievable the amount of people I've seen playing those modes the completely wrong way! Yesterday I got into this lobby where everyone was like that and I, with only 10 kills, racked up over 7000 points while everyone else (including a guy with 28 kills) got nowhere near close to 5000.

There are some people that they are playing it that way, but I think the majority are playing it the correct way. Even if you get 25+ kills and still under 5,000+ points, then you could still run into A LOT of enemies without getting any diffuse or plant points. There are a lot of ways to get kills and points in this game. :corn
Some people, however, need to seriously watch that video IGN put out about how to play BF3 correctly. Maybe that might take strict deathmatch people out of the fold, which would be cool. It's all about the team goal!
-
I should've pointed out that I had 10 kills but most of my points came from taking the flags. I was literally the only running around the map doing it on my team.

I'm getting better at flying after watching some tutorials and practicing on some flight practice servers. I can now manage to not immediately murder myself.

That's my main problem. I can fly, but killing shit is a whole other ball game.

Just go into a flight practice server and ask if anyone would like to dogfight
edit: I'm getting better at flying the helicopters, but I can't stop or land them with any precision whatsoever. I wanna be like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXRlvv459wU

I'm really not liking this tactic of people intentionally shining torches into your eyes so you can't shoot them accurately.
-
It's annoying, but just spam the light source with bullets.
-
I really, really don't mind people using the tact light or the laser sight, it's easier for me to kill them when they do! I'd say I kill them 80% of the time regardless if it's up close or far away.
Also, choppers are way easier to fly than jets, Joe. And heat seekers on jets don't help a lot, I've unlocked them and the rocket pods, I still get most my kills with the machine gun.

I disagree completely :lol I feel like I'm about to lose control of the chopper any second. The only time I feel that way in a jet is when I'm doing some crazy evasive maneuver.

:lol Well maybe it's on consoles that it feels that way.

This game makes me want to kill myself sometimes.
I'm soooo shit at it.

Sweet. I'll probably be on then. I added you on Battlelog anyway
-
I'll be on later tonight too. around 11:30. But also I might play a little bit in a half hour or so if you'll be around Harry.
-
Yeah, I'm just making my dinner right now so I'll be able to play after that.

:lol Well maybe it's on consoles that it feels that way.
It's easier to fly Jets than Choppers on the 360, imho.

I actually did mean eastern time btw. :lol

Just had a great game. Went 28-13 on Tehran Highway Conquest. Blew up like 3 Tanks and Humvees with C4. It's by far the most gratifying thing in the game to me...I get an actual physical reaction when I'm about to do it; my heart rate goes up and everything 'cause im so excited :lol

Ok so I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card to play Battlefield. I feel like the game just isn't running smooth enough with the card that I have.
I think I would want to get the ATI Radeon 6950 card. But when I look at them to buy, it looks like many different companies make this card. This is confusing me. How do I know which one to get? Also, how the heck am I supposed to install it, it looks like it takes up 2 slots.
-
HD 6950? I have that. Mine's from Powercolor; only takes up one slot.
-
TDM sucks. That is all.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=100006662&isNodeId=1&Description=ati+hd+6950&x=0&y=0
All of these look like double slots to me. Also I'm reading that the cards are physically large and might need more power from the power supply. I feel like it might be a nightmare trying to find a card that works well.
Does your card handle battlefield perfectly on high settings?
-
They probably only take up one PCI slot but physically take up 2 slots.
My card requires two extra power leads.
-
Damnit I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to upgrade then.
-
Yeah I play on ultra with antialiasing off
-
spent two hours last night just trying to get a single point in a jet. ridiculous! as there's no flares with begin with you're practically limited in what you can do. argh so frustrating.
mind you, did manage to get a quadruple kill, destroying a jeep and a tank with one rpg shot <3
-
Okay, I'll definitely be on tonight. I was going to play last night but I was pretty drunk. :lol
-
I'll be on in like two hours.
-
After this afternoon I won't be on until Sunday.
-
I got a paper I need to finish up and then hopefully i'll get some game time in before my cousin gets to my house (he's staying with me for the weekend and i got him a ticket for the Ohio State home game tomorrow). So after that, we'll both tear it up for a bit.
-
Fuck Ohio State.
-
Damnit I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to upgrade then.
What's the wattage of your power supply? For a card like that you will need at least probably 500W bare minimum.
Your power supply will also need 6 pin PCI-E cables like these: (https://www.techaddicts.net/reviews/tpower750/tp750w_2pcie.jpg)
As for the different brands, just shop around and pay attention to reviews. Try to figure out the one that you think seems to be the best, there's also price to consider. Generally though there isn't a massive amount of difference between brands apart from build quality, fans etc, some might be overclocked and more powerful.
If your power supply isn't up to it you can always upgrade that as well.
-
Fuck Ohio State.
Not cool, bro. Not cool. :facepalm:

Well I have an ATI HD 4850 now, so I might have the infrastructure necessary already to put a new card in. If the 4850 demands similar things. But the 6950 just seems larger in size so I'm not sure if it will physically fit.

Getting on now. :tup

This.
Operation Metro has a lot of good ones.

That's my k/d. Minus the 1.
-
Mine's 1.24. But since this is not CoD, I don't really care about it.
-
I usually get a fairly decent score. Just never get a good k/d.
-
The score is all that matters.
Can't tell you how many times I've finished a match with a k/d of 6/16, but with 7000 points.
-
I didn't say a good score, just a decent one :lol
Lately, I've been usually been about half way up the scoreboard.
-
well my overall k/d is 0.67. not too fussed about it since i'm usually getting highish scores in each round - hopefully now i've unlocked the m249 it might increase a bit...
-
The M249 has become my weapon of choice. Barely even gave the PKP a look when I unlocked it.
-

-
Score is all that matters. Attack those objectives or kill everyone who gets near them. Nothing else matters.
-
I don't play objective games, who's mad?
-
So all you play is deathmatch? Because you're missing out on the best aspects of BF if you do!
-
I find the statement "you have to play Conquest to get the true BF experience" to be hilarious and misinformation at best.
I have never liked objective games in any game I have played.
-
What is the true BF experience anyway? Huge maps? Vehicles? I can see where these would be fun to use I suppose, but the main draw of an FPS to me is the gunplay. I'm not fond of driving around a tank or flying a jet. I just want to shoot people.
This is also why CoD sucks now. Too much emphasis on killstreaks and the like. BF3's Deathmatch provides an action filled, balanced experience. There's no running 15 minutes to an objective then getting sniped by some dick hiding in the rocks or bushes.
I've played Conquest and to me it seems like there's a lot more running around and waiting than there is action. I don't want to seem like I have ADD and can't be patient, but I just find the mode boring and ultimately unsatisfying.
-
I have no problem with any of the modes.
One of the maps in deathmatch is WAY too small for that game mode though (can't remember the name). The two teams kept on spawning beside each other and it was just nothing but spawn kills all over the place.
-
All the maps on deathmatch are way to small!
-
This one was particularly bad.
-
All the maps on deathmatch are way to small!
Not for me. I play 32 man DM and all the maps seem to be perfectly sized. Maybe you're playing 64?

What I like about Conquest is the dynamism of the matches. I love the freedom it affords players to be creative and execute strategies. The big matches almost seem like sandbox role-playing experience at times. Are you a pilot who taxis soldiers in the transport chopper to a new objective? Do you like to sneak around and destroy unsuspecting tanks with C4? How about a front-line battle medic? The wealth of choices, to me, embodies what makes the Battlefield experience so great. Deathmatch is a nice diversion, but it's not what I play Battlefield for.
Check out 64p Conquest on Grand Bazaar. It's probably got the least running around out of all the big maps.
-
I hate Grand Bazaar :D
-
okay you know what bacong i have had enough of your lip
-
Also, jihad jeeps are a thing of beauty!!
-
<3
-
I prefer Rush to Conquest, but that's mostly because the consoles have 24p games. This makes it seem like the front lines are thin/non-existent in Conquest. Rush actually makes use of the lower player counts since it puts everyone on the same objective. This is why I wish 64p was on console as well, or if you could somehow hook a controller up to a computer game and play it. /endrant
-
Which you can...
-
Which you can...
Apparently i'm a fucking dumbass. Go me.
Now I need to make this happen. What will I need? :lol
-
a wired 360 controller.
-
Damn you assholes. I can't afford BF3 for a couple more weeks, so I've been playing BF:BC2 waiting, and it's gotten to the point that I can't get any match for any type online. FUUUUUUUUUUU-
-
a wired 360 controller.
And I don't own one. Ehhh. Need a computer that can handle the game, too. So, I would need two things. :sadpanda:
-
So, like, is it supposed to take 5 minutes to join a server? First time I tried to join a server, I waited about 5 mins until BF3 finally opened, then it got stuck at a black screen. The second time, I waited 5 minutes and it said, "Could not join server." Is it so f-ing hard for them to put a legitimate server browser in the game client itself?
edit: Apparently it is a problem with Avast Anti-virus. Seems to be fixed.
-
lol @ playing a PC FPS with a gamepad
-
I've lost all 9 games I've played since I got this. The fuck is with these hugely imbalanced teams every server I go to?
-
Came second top with a terrible k/d today.
Just kept on getting in a tank with the same guy (he was driving). I was also constantly repairing about 3 tanks so I got my maintenance dog tag as well :hat

You need to start staying up all night so we can play together.
-
I could do that...TONIGHT

interesting. i really can't stand deathmatch games, for me there has to be some point to what i'm doing, rather than just going round killing people. just me though!
-

Yeah. I stayed up the other night until 4am reading so my sleep pattern is definitely messed up right now.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I had a dream the other night that I got into a helicopter with a bunch of military dudes who purposely crashed it into the ground while shooting randomly into far off buildings. I'm pinning that one on BF3
-
I either got REALLY lucky today with the Jets or i've gotten the hang of things. 5 kills with the guns and only 1 kill with heat seekers. Other than those 6 today, I've gotten none. :lol

This game is optimized so shittily. The lowest settings barely looks better than CoD4, yet it performs infinitely worse; changing from low settings to high settings hardly even impacts my performance..
Also, my W/L record is now 3-14. Fuck this game.

I think the game runs amazingly well for how good it looks, I've played plenty of others that look worse than BF3 and run slower.
Sounds like it may be time for someone to invest in some new hardware!

Like I said, at the lowest settings, it looks like CoD4, yet it runs much worse. If my hardware can run CoD4 at like 200 FPS, it shouldn't run BF3 about 34-45 FPS (just a guess).
Sorry, this game really frustrates me. I'm sick of losing almost every single match.

That framerate seems about right for that GPU. You should try lowering your resolution; you'll see more gains through that.

Yes. I have to download a free EA demo that's more than a gig of memory, play it for at least two hours online, and then enter my EA account info.
Why the fuck don't they just ask for my gamertag on EA.com and then send a confirmation to my xbox? Fuck EA.

I don't understand why you had to do that! If you played EA games before (like NFS, Madden, DA, ME2) you should have an EA account already.

I've never had an EA account before. I've played Madden, BF:BC2, NCAA, etc. and never had to make an account.

Interesting. I remember Madden '08 (I think) had asked me to make one when I first put the disc in. IDK, when I did mine it was very easy and I linked my 360 and PS3 accounts without any problems.

Well, they changed it and made it extremely difficult, time-consuming, and frustrating. They very well know my opinion on the matter now.
I don't even know if I will end up setting it up because I don't ever have 3 or 4 hours to fuck around with.

I bought MW3 yesterday, played it all day today and decided to buy Battlefield 3 just now. Ive never played the battlefield series, but MW3 is the same old same old, sure its fun, but its boring now, time for something new for me. I will most likely be absolutely terrible.

I had never used Amazon to download a game before, but I certainly dont like how they didnt give me a choice as to where to install the game, I only have a small amount of free space on my C drive since it is 60 GB SSD used just for me OS and a few apps. It seems that I can just used the product code and use Origin to download and place it on a different drive. I dont understand why I had to wait till it downloaded from Amazon before it decided there wasnt enough space.

...I don't understand what you're trying to say. But trust me, just because you're good on GoldenEye doesn't mean you'll be good on BF3. Very different games.

Also, bf3 and Modern Warfare are hardly realistic.

Yes, because the bar for realism has been set in FPS' (and don't fucking give me America's Army)

I don't really know what you mean.
-
I haven't played any of them, but I've heard the Operation Flashpoint games tend to be realistic.

What? Why does that matter? The games are balanced to be fun and competitive, not to be realistic. I haven't played it (nor am I interested in doing so), but I hear Arma2 does a pretty good job at simulation.
-
Um, it matters because you said the games weren't realistic, and I countered that there really is no realism baseline (except for America's Army, which you can barely call a game) That's why it "matters"

I just don't understand why there needs to be a "realism baseline" game. The baseline is reality.

I don't understand what you find baffling about a simple counter to a statement you made. It's hard to judge realism in a limited sample; thus saying games like MW3 and BF3 are "hardly realistic" is misleading at best, due to the simple fact that many things about the game simulate reality in stunning ways.
If MW3 and BF3 aren't realistic, what would you say about TF2 or Quake? It's quite obvious games like MW3 and BF3 are attempting to be as realistic as possible while still maintaining that it's a video game and certain very unrealistic things can still happen.

Especially when it comes to a flashlight in a daylight enviroment!

completely lighted
but yes :D

There are war games that simulate realism. Battlefield and Modern Warfare aren't among them.

nice hollow, straight-line view of reality bro

I don't really know what you mean.
I mean there's not much of a "realism in FPS" precedent, so it's hard to judge what is and isn't realistic.

Started playing the game today, I played through the first few levels of single player so that I can learn the buttons and the general gameplay. I must say the graphics are fantastic. I played a couple rounds of mulitplayer and it was fun, couldnt get more kills than deathes, but I made some improvement as I played. Looking forward to getting better and learning more about this game.
-
cool moment this evening...
was dogfighting with a jet, he was ahead of me and started to move up. we both hit the roof ceiling and he ejected.... straight onto my jet, there was even a sound for it?! it's the little details that count and battlefield is full of them! best roadkill for me in a while.
-
Just went 30 and 10 with 6511 points on Tehran Highway, Conquest. It was domination. :lol
-
:metal :metal
-
I'm getting better and better at dogfighting! :metal
-
zomg GUYS!!! I fixed my video problems! I was finally able to update my ATI driver! No more black ground with patchy spots. MY frame rate stays above 30fps now except on some parts of operation metro and grand bizzarre for some reason. But the overall playability is so much higher now. Game runs smooth and looks beautiful! Still playing on low settings, and might still upgrade my card, but the game is working great!!!!
-
I just recently finished playing the single player, I know no one really plays it, but it was a pretty good game even though it was short. The graphics are just beautiful and the sound is amazing. I play with a overclocked gtx 460 and it plays on high just fine.

completed it also with a gtx460.
fairly good singleplayer, could have been better though. the last 1/3 of it was awesome.
another cool moment last night... was in support class and I'd ran out of ammo, saw a sv98 on the ground, picked it up, saw 3 snipers in the mountains (kharg island), suddenly they all moved behind each other (sounds pretty unbelievable but it happened!) - one shot and I got 3 kills, with 2 headshots. ridiculous!
-
I played the single player, it really was nothing special. It was way to scripted at times.
Apparently the first game patch should be out today for the PS3, about time.
-
I loved the single player of this game. Thought it was really cool.
-
The only thing I didnt like about the single player was the storyline was sucb a rip off from Black Ops, I mean the story was pretty good, but just way too similar to its main competitor.
-
And it's not like codblops' story was good anyway :lol

So question guys. I have Vista 64 bit so I don't have Direct X 11. Would it be worth it to upgrade to windows 7 and get say an HD radeon 6750 card?
-
It's always worth it to upgrade from Windows Vista. Upgrading to the 6xxx series will definitely make an improvement. How much depends on how much you're willing to spend. The 6750 isn't a bad card at all, but you won't be able to run it max settings. For that, you'll want a 5970 or 6950.

I should add that I don't have any problems with Vista. I really have zero complaints about it. I would upgrade if I knew it would upgrade on top of Vista. I don't wanna wipe my computer out if I don't have to. But as far as graphics, is DX11 that much better that it's worth it to buy windows 7?
Why is a 5970 better than a 6750? I just figured the higher the number, the better the card.
I should add that I am currently using a 4850. It runs the game pretty decently on the lowest of settings.
-
Holy shit that PS3 patch is a big one!! 758MB!

Why is a 5970 better than a 6750? I just figured the higher the number, the better the card.
I wouldn't really say that DX11 in and of itself is worth it, but Windows 7 is more streamlined and less of a resource hog, and benchmarks have shown that games running on Windows 7 and XP perform about the same, while Vista is a bit behind. You can still upgrade your hardware first and make a decision about wiping later.
As for the numbers, here's the naming convention:
The first number is the series number. This changes approximately every year I believe. The 6xxx series is newer than the 5xxx series.
The last three numbers is where you can pick the higher number and it will be better. The reason a 5970 is a good choice is because while it is last generation, it was the top of the line card back then. Because it's last generation, it'll generally be a better value.
-
Ohhh I see. So I would want say like a 6850 to stay in the same range, but be up to date?
The other problem is I believe my power supply is only 460watts. So I could run the 6750. My guess is that a 6750 is going to be way better than my current 4850 though. I also found out that I have 2 x16 slots on my MoBo so I could possibly do crossfire. Although, again I think that would force me to get a new PSU.
Not sure how much this is all worth it. My goal would to be able to play the game at high settings, not ultra, but mostly I just want it to be smooth at that level.
-
6850 is a good card.
But your posts are silly in this thread. "Should I upgrade to a better OS and a better video card?" Of course you should.
-
Well I'm asking if its worth all the trouble I might have to go through. These new cards may not fit in my case, and I'm unsure on the PSU. I don't think I can fit a 6950 into my case, and I know I'd need a new psu.
-
What are the specs on your PSU? You may be borderline, but as long as it can put out the amps, you should be fine. I'm running a 6950 and an overclocked Athlon II X4 635 (2.9 --> 3.6) using a 500W PSU and it's 99% stable (though I think that 1% is due to my RAM).
-
Maybe you should just build a new pc :)

My PSU is 460watts I'm 99% sure.
I'm not going to build a pc cause the one I have now is pretty badass already and I got it 2 years ago. I spent a lot of money on it. I primarily use it for Audio recording, but recently have been gaming more and more. That's why i'm trying to see what the most cost effective way of getting a bit more performance out of it would be. It's definitely not old enough to be replace. It also runs fucking amazing still.
-
Do you have the model number? Watts by themselves don't really help much, we need to know how many amps it can put out.
-
Its an hp m9600t
AMD website says the 6850 needs 500w of power or better
-
PSU is an annoying but simple upgrade.
Post pics of your guts, it'll help in judging if the card is gonna be too big.
-
Yeah I'll do this when I get a chance. I read somewhere that my case is 16.1" long or something along those lines. So I should be able to fit a 10" long card no problems.
-
Its an hp m9600t
AMD website says the 6850 needs 500w of power or better
BAD BAD BAD! That case is NOT designed for gaming, upgrading, or proper ventilation. Your card only pulls about 110W, and any card worth upgrading to will require around 200W or more. I'd recommend buying a new case+psu combo ($100 or less) that will give you more room, better ventilation, and the power needed for a new card. Just move all your components over to the new case and you're set.
-
oh, yuck. That case doesn't have any side fans? fuck. My case has 4 fans
-
THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER BUY PREFAB D:
-
The new pc was a choke, but if you have concerns with power, video card size, and os, maybe a new case/power supply combo would be good for you so you can keep the guts of your pc. I think you can do a windows vista to 7 upgrade that keeps all your data as well.
-
I'm gonna try to get a GTX 570 for Christmas, so I may actually be able to enjoy this game someday. In the mean time, I'm not playing it whatsoever.

lol fuck. If that is what it will take I don't think I can upgrade. That's a lot of work. And I bought prefab cause I don't know how to build computers. So this is all basically not an option. Oh well.

Cool thanks! I just had some pretty good games. I ended with a good score in all of them. I was blowing up quite a few Mcoms in the last game I played. This game is so sick. It's challenging too. The environments are just unreal. So much fun.

And we got new maps coming Tuesday for PS3 and then a week from Tuesday from everyone else! More enjoyment! :tup
-
I have very much enjoyed this game, but for me, new maps are too soon. The maps are so large and dense that I havent had enough time to really know the maps well enough to indulge in new ones.

It's been about two months since the release. I've been playing since day one and I think its still a bit early, but not panic-worthy early. I think they're trying to capitalize on the great success that BF3 has had since it's release.
-
I too feel like they're trying to capitalize on the success and get that out early, also, it should be free to 98% of people that own the game so I don't mind it at all!
-
What do you mean it should be free? If its free ill definitely buy it, but I wont pay just yet because im still enjoying the current maps.
-
If your copy of the game has "limited edition" written in some place, then it's free. I say should because only the first run of the game was branded as limited edition. So if you pre-ordered the game or bought it in the first 2 weeks, it's more than likely that yours is a limited edition.
-
I got my limited edition for $40 through an amazon preorder.
Still I think it's a bit early for new maps. Imagine getting this at Christmas and knowing that there's already extra shit you have to pay for to get everything? Sucks (for them).
-
Limited Edition :metal
Can't wait to get the maps a week from tomorrow.
And btw, Dimi, no FUCKING SPOILERS. Thx. :biggrin:
-
Damn, I downloaded my copy from amazon and I didnt do a pre-order so Im guessing Im out of luck.

All four of them are. I don't really consider this as a typical DLC release though and since it was considered a bonus for pre-ordering, I wouldn't have minded having it on day 1.

Just please put spoiler tags around your posts regarding the new maps until the maps are available. Please and thank you! :)
-
I don't get it, it's just more maps, more vehicles and more weapons. And it's not like they're brand new maps, they're all from BF2.

-

There's new weapons and vehicles being introduced to the game through these 'recycled' maps (for lack of a better word and which are from BF2).
-
Is everything going to be integrated with the main game?
-
Is everything going to be integrated with the main game?
Yes, everything is. It's not separate as BC2: Vietnam.
You chose CQ, Rush, whatever and the game will cycle through all the maps. And you can do the "assignments" to get the new weapons on any map and it will count towards the unlock. The new vehicles are restricted to the B2K maps, though.
Also: The "I Love the World" song, BF3 style!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5BmFTcNMDg
-
I can't wait to get to mess with these maps next week!
-
I played for a bit last night and got to play Sharqui Peninsula and Strike at Karkand. Conquest is automatically played as Conquest Assault in the B2K maps, which means that one team starts with all the flags and 200 tickets, while the other team starts with 250 tickets.
Destructibility is waaaay more pronounce here, more akin to BC2 and there are 5 flags on consoles at least on those 2 maps.
-
I played a whole lot yesterday and it was awesome. I unlocked a whole bunch of stuff for the m416. I'm using the foregrip, supressor, and holographic scope. I was finally having some really good games. Also, Hardcore mode is pretty awesome.
I was playing squad rush for the first time, and I really liked the way that works. It would be a ton of fun with people you know if you were all talking on skype.
-
I can't join any games since the patch. It loads the map and everything and the game launches but then It just says disconnected every goddamn time. The one game I got in booted me out right at the end.
-
Man I just had some great games on the new maps. My average score for a round keeps getting higher and higher. I'm playing really well now. I love this game.
-
Damn I didn't even realize the new maps were out today!
-
Yeah they are pretty sweet. A lot more armor and jets in these ones. It's pretty sick.
At first the game was saying it wasnt installed. But I just ignored it and played it anyway and it worked fine.
-
I'm repairing my installation; maybe that will help.
-
it's working yippeeeee!
-
Yeah when in doubt just repair the install.
-
I downloaded the maps yesterday, but I haven't had the time to actually sit down and play through all of the new ones yet.

Any map or just Operation Metro :huh:
-
So can any of the PC players tell me if this is happening also on PC: on PS3 the B2K maps are played in two different ways on CQ. 1) You play with 5 flags and all vehicles. 2) Only 3 flags and no vehicles.
Is this also the case on PC?

woops! Operation Metro only I meant.
and I'm not sure about your second question - although on Battlelog there are clearly two different versions of Conquest (Conquest and Conquest Large)
-
talking of that very map, I played a bit tonight. Best 'battlefield moment' ever in that I threw one grenade - 8 kills with it. Put down one medic box, 2000 points from it. awesome stuff :heart
-
Got it for Christmas. gamertag is Rokkoh1993 if you want to play on 360, and seriously, I need more people to play with. It's really pissing me off that people play this like it's Call of Duty. When did people stop actually defending the objective and running around just trying to rack up kills? It's really enraging, because at least on BF:BC2 people would work together and defend on Rush. Otherwise fantastic game, just ruined by it's seemingly new community.
-
Anyone still playing this game? Ive had it for awhile, played it a good amount when I first got it. I really enjoyed it, but being a total noob left me getting my ass handed to me. Over the past week, I started putting a lot more time into getting better and it's starting to show. I decided to get th Back to Karkand pack and I am loving these maps so far. I am playing on the PC and I am wondering if no one ever talks or do I just have my settings screwed up?
-
I still play, I've just been busy. The only thing is I'm on the 360 :(

I've been playing for a few hours every night for the past two weeks and I'm having loads of fun. I started playing one of the more populous reddit servers that has TeamSpeak with TeamSync, which automatically puts you in a channel with your teammates when you connect. Everyone on there has been super nice and communicative.
Anyway, add me.

Honestly, flying helis isn't that hard. If you need practice, just go and play the second co-op mission.
-
I'm still trying to get used to jets. I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. I do have fun flying it though.
-
So I've gotten to the point with the air vehicles that I can fly them pretty well but dear god I can't properly evade an enemy jet for the life of me. Also, Everyone got so damn good with the machine gun on that thing! I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it :lol
-
My experience with jets are, crash and die, get shot down and die, or safely eject. I have yet to get a single point with them.

"Mistah Houdini here has got some other tricks up his sleeve" :lol

I've been getting back into the game and I almost forgot how much I love flying the scout helis!! I adore that, at least on consoles, when you're in a map where they are two scout helis (one for each team) the other one always, always wants to use the heat seekers on yours, by the time they actually lock on to my heli I've already destroyed him with the machine guns.
-
Heh, that's awesome.
Played for like 4 hours last night. It's so hard to get off when you have a good squad rolling.

antigoon, i played on the server you sugested last night and I really like it. 64 players, conquest, the best maps on rotation, 500 tickets... and i won every game. I didnt realize it was already 3am so I had to stop cause im working all day today, but I added it to my favorites and plan to play more. My name is cramx3.
-
awesome dude, glad you like it. I added you. You should join up in teamspeak next time!

Those last two rounds were weird. No clue what was up with that Reaper guy in the TS. We usually actually play the game I swear :lol

Ah yes, 'Reapers'
(https://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r215/dimitrius21/ed047f99.jpg)

Kinda like that. Guy was ghost riding the jeeps and killing our teammates at our spawn and then got all bent out of shape when people started getting upset with him :lol
-
did you see me in the game last night? i waa pretty quiet in the chat, didnt want to wake up my gf, and Ive also never used team speak before. im pretty much a total noob.
-
Oh, yeah my post before my last one about that Reaper guy was directed toward you, sorry. Anyway yeah, good to see you in there, don't worry about being a noob, nobody cares about that stuff.
-
Im definitely getting better at the game itself, but I installed team speak and used it for the first time last night which was easy to use, just wasnt sure everything was working. I plan on using that server regularly now. I work noon to midnight so I usually play from 1-2:30 am on my work days.

Oh my FUCKING god!! The USAS-12 with the frag rounds is ridiculous! They really need to nerf it a bit.

It's getting nerfed in the next patch. I still haven't even unlocked it.

Play the objective and watch the points roll in. Also playing in a squad with people you know makes the game about 10 times better.

I just made about 5000 points (including ribbons) JUST by continually resupplying people in a conquest match! If only everyone played like this!

Dude I swear I just did the same thing not 30 minutes ago :lol
In other news, I started using the PKP Pencheng...I get why everyone uses it now. Thing packs a serious punch.
Also the MP7 is my new favorite gun

Well, I'm taking a break now, but man I hate leaving the lobby I was in! I hadn't lost in over 4 hours!
-
Dimitrius, you playing on the PC?
I agree with playing the objective to get better. I pretty much suck at getting kills in this game. I came from playing COD and you really need to have a different mind set. You can get so many point in BF without ever killing anyone.

I'm off to buy more RAM since I was pushing 90-95% of my 4GB yesterday and ended up crashing the game. :sadpanda:
On the plus side, RAM is dirt cheap, so I'll be picking up 16GB for only $60! :biggrin:

An expansion with maps for 16 players max? Who was even asking for that?!

A shit ton of tweaks, balances and fixes for all kinds of different things; weapons, attachments, modes, vehicles... I think there's a complete (or semi-complete) list on the Battlelog site.

Fuck you guys for getting the patch before PC

Frag rounds are definitely nerfed!

I think I was one of the only ones that thought the USAS Frag was fine the way it was. Stay away from 64p Metro and you won't have a problem.

It was absolute garbage at any sort of real distance. Pretty good up close. Sounds like a shotgun to me.

So a few days ago, I was playing Conquest on Caspian Border and there were some very pesky players on the chopper and jets, so what do me and my friend do? We deploy as the ultimate anti-air unit! Two recons with the SOFLAM (in different parts of the map), one as a support throwing ammo packs and me with the engineer and Javelin... :metal

I would like to, not necessarily for double XP, just cause I still play a lot.

I didn't realize it was out. Ill have to get it and start playing after work.

So i just checked... you can't get it yet on the PC unless you download the premium pack which is essentially pre ordering all the Dlc...
-
I really wanna start playing BF3 more. I haven't done the objection game modes much at all... I always do horribly. :lol I'll devote a night to getting better at it sometime soon I think.... maybe a few nights. Or months. :biggrin:
What is a really good gun to use to at the start to get better at the game? I'll branch out after that, but I need a decent gun. The recoil/sway on some of the guns are messing with me so bad, I don't think I have played any FPS with such realistic shooting before. :lol And any tips on team playing? It obviously is really important in the objection modes and most of my playing has been through deathmatch types of games.
-
M16 for the Assault.
SCAR for Engineer.
M249 with the bipod for Support.
When playing Conquest and Rush, just help! You're a support? Throw ammo. Engineer? Fix vehicles. Assault? Throw med packs! You'll rack up points very, very quickly and unlock more weapons and shit.
And most of all, just keep playing.

Yeah that´s basically what i did, if you just play alot you gonna figure stuff out. I learned alot by checking out youtube videos on how other people play, such as this guy:
He has a great serie with some really good tips:

I purchased premium last night. Even with already having Back to Karkand 8t still was cheaper than buying all the new Dlc. I initially was questioning this because its hard to say whether id still be playing when they rest of the dlc comes out but the other perks with premium made up my mind. I look forward to playing the new maps after work today.
-
For me it´s also convenient that i don´t have to think about paying for anything BF related until atleast april 2013 and just get all the content without any fuzz and a click.
The new Close Quarters DLC is alot of fun even though it´s not really the whole battlefield experience. It´s fast paced and you die alot but it´s fun to play and it´s great if you just wanna have a quick match and shoot around. Have to give Dice some cred for the CQ maps, they are visually stunning and the destruction is pretty awesome even though it´s not as much as i thought.
-
I really want to get premium! Seems to be a good deal and to get all DLCs at a $10 discount... sounds good!
Oh, and also Mike: spot! Use that select button!!
-
Without playing CQ yet, I think it can be really cool. I know a lot of BF fan boys think they are trying to get a COD feel and maybe they are.... but i like the idea of using the BF game play and putting it indoors with a smaller map. It gives a player more options with the game overall. I watched a YouTube video of a guy showing off a new map and just shooting things and blowing up the walls....that was awesome.
-
Yeah, my philosophy is that CQ is the best "COD" game that Infinity Wards can only dream on making!

Yes.

The spot feature is great for team play. Help the team out by spotting enemies if you can't shoot them. You get 10 points if a team mate kills someone you spot.

Love that feature. The other thing I like about Battlefield over CoD is that your assist score is directly proportional to how much damage you dealt the other player. If you took away 98% of his health but your teammate struck the final blow, you get a 98 point assist.
-
I like that too. Lets you know how much credit you deserve.
I didn't realize how much CQ would resemble COD. It really feels like an exact copy. The gun game is exactly the same and the maps feel similar. I enjoy it as it gives a new feature to the game, bui guess I didn't realize how much of a copy it really was.
-
I don't think it feels like it's a copy at all! Yes, the maps are small and made to emulate the CoD feel, but they have different levels. You got about 3-4 different floors to be fighting on and different ways to move around the map (that factory map with the two different buildings comes to mind) something that doesn't happen on any CoD.

Yea the multi levels are true. But the overall feel is like COD. I guess just like the quickness in particular. Its very fast paced and lots of kills and deaths. I don't dislike it by any means, I played lots of COD before I started playing BF3.
-
I don´t get why everybody always compare BF to CoD and not MoH, CS, ARMA or any other fps MP game out there? They are all games with diffrent intentions and so is COD. Now....it just happens to be that Dice choose to release a DLC with no vehicle and aerial warfar that focus on Infantry combat and all of a sudden everybody is saying that it´s a CoD clone just because they implemented small maps and a game mode that´s not even originally from CoD but from CS when infact it´s more like every freakin fps out there! :lol
To me it´s fun and i like it mostly because i think the weapon combat in BF is probably the best by all the fps that i´ve played and i have to give Dice cred for the well designed maps in CQ which i think is both visually stunning (Operation 925 :tup) and well designed with all the diffrent routes you can take.
With all that said i still enjoy the large maps more though just because you get the whole battlefield experience with vehicles, aerial and infantry working together! So i´m pretty pumped for AK!

Easy, BF and CoD are the two best selling FPS out there, so they will be compared to one another. Is it necessary? Nope, but it will happen anyway.
-
The deep down nuts and bolts of COD and BF are the same. That's why they will always be compared. Previously BF and COD had a lot of differences in many areas of game play, but CQ has really made BF much more like COD. They still aren't the same, but this just makes even more similar and hence the comparison. I actually think the multi played factory map is very similar to a halo map. I don't compare the two games though because besides both being fps there is no similarity.

Yes they are and maybe i should have cleared that out first but i thought that was pretty obvious, anyone that followed BF before it was realeased knows about the "war" between CoD and BF but that was mostly fueled by the media and ignited by the fans of either BF or CoD so i understand clearly the reason for that.
I would assume that most people is not fanboys and that alot of people are more open-minded and don´t use CoD or BF to highlight something negative just because they don´t like the game......or i surely hope that´s not the case!
I guess i didn´t really asked a question.....it was more a showing of my frustration and confusion on why people are so damn narrow-minded and lazy to not care more about the differences between games and gameplay!

What´s so similar between BF and CoD that´s not in other fps games?
-
The attempt at realism to a similar degree. Using real guns, selecting attributes to your character, leveling up and unlocking things, based on "modern" warfare, the single player campaigns are almost exactly the same game with different storylines (although BF3 is very similar to Black Ops story).
-
Er... what you're basically saying is they are both modern FPS games. :lol I don't think that makes them similar at all.
-

That sounds like a typical modern FPS to me, all those things are not exclusive to BF or CoD! BF gives you an invitation to team/squadplay with Revives, throw Health/Ammo packs, spotting and the ability to chat with other players (the fact that nobody use it in a tactical way and mostly for bullshit is not the games fault!), that may not be unique in it self but stands out compared to for example CoD. Those things rarely come up, it´s always the smal maps and the "gun and run feel" in CQ that trigger people to compare it to CoD. That´s basically because people play it like "CoD" but if you use all those "helping elements" to your team, you get some form of teamplay even in pub games but as soon as you play with friends and you can form a squad the game turns into something else and you can make it as tactical as you like! :)
-
I'm surprised at how much I like Close Quarters. The maps are way better (and bigger) than I thought they'd be.

Yes those are all the differences. Doesn't mean the games aren't very similar. I am most people haven't played other modern fps so what else is there to compare it to?
-

What´s the point of comparing two games that don´t have the same intentions with their gameplay? It doesn't matter if the visual is modern, historic or si-fi it could still have the same type of intentions with the gameplay. The only reason that people compare BF to CoD is because they are both hugely successful games and that media fueled a war between fans.
That's why whenever there's something wrong with BF, the BF fans always refer that the game has become to much like CoD! And that's exactly what's annoys me not the comparison itself but because that only shows that people use the term "CoD" to mark something they don't like!
I used to play CoD on my consol days and i loved the SP campaign in MW 2 and still think they hold the throne in making hollywood action paced campaigns. :metal
-
Then what's the point in comparing anything if they aren't exactly the same? There is legitimate reason those two are constantly compared... they are similar and extremely popular. Halo is extremely popular but doesn't get compared to either (besides sales) and that's because halo is not very similar.
-
"Then what's the point in comparing anything if they aren't exactly the same?"
Well yeah, that was my point in the first place! :lol
"There is legitimate reason those two are constantly compared... they are similar and extremely popular."
Read my last post again and what my concern is!
The only reason that people compare BF to CoD is because they are both hugely successful games and that media fueled a war between fans.
"And that's exactly what's annoys me not the comparison itself but because that only shows that people use the term "CoD" to mark something they don't like!"
"Halo is extremely popular but doesn't get compared to either (besides sales) and that's because halo is not very similar."
There you go! :)
To clarify, here's my defenition on the Battlefield games:
Infantry, vehicles and aerial all working together in one team with squads and teamplay as the main objective, CQ is all the same but infantry only.
It´s safe to say we don´t agree on that CoD and BF are not similar games but it´s ok because that was not my main concern! :)

I'm enjoying gunmaster on the CQ maps a lot. For a round or two max though, because they it gets stale and I long for the normal maps on rush.
-
It's kinda late, but I wanted to add something to the CoD vs BF discussion. I don't think the "well, you just described every modern shooter" argument really works. Compare CoD and BF to CSGO. Or TF2. Or Halo. Or Tribes Ascend.
BF3 and CoD get compared to each other because, other than the vehicles and being able to fill a support role, they are extremely similar games. CoD and BF3 are a whole lot more similar to each other than TF2 is to Tribes, or even CoD to CSGO I'd say.

I also get a little bit tired after 2-3 rounds of CQ but i always try to mix between CQ and "normal" maps therefor you get a little bit of both and that fits perfect for me!

I like gun master but you don't level up your classes so i don't play it as often. Also its no fun joining a game in progress asyou are at a big disadvantage.

I don't see the point in the beta when there is new BF3 meterial coming out.
The BF4 Beta doesn't come out until fall of 2013, which is several months after the final BF3 expansion is released. I imagine the BF4 game will be released sometime in early-mid 2014, which is almost a year after the final BF3 expansion comes out. I believe they went ahead and announced the BF4 Beta because of the leak of that information a few days ago. Otherwise, they probably would have waited a few months to announce it since the Beta's release is over 15 months away, roughly.
-
Oh OK, thanks for clarifying. That makes sense. I gotta watch the new trailer when i get home from work.
-
There's also been some rumors that maybe BF4 is next-gen. Personally I'd love for DICE to do Bad Company 3 before BF4.
-
The armored kill trailer is pretty intense. I'm not the greatest with vehicles so this may not be my favorite dlc but im definitely excited to try it out. The huge plane, ac130?, looks sick.

I'm not the best with vehicles either, but armored kill is going to be nuts. So pumped to play it.

I can't wait to play those maps!! They're gonna be insanely fun! I'm not good on the ground vehicles, but love flying jets/choppers!
And yes, that's an AC-130.
-
It would be sweet if they upped the player limit on these huge maps to maybe 80. That would be insane. Bigger maps, more vehicles, I see a bigger need for ground troops!

Do you guys use Joystick, gamepad or mouse +keyb when flying?
I have just switched from Joystick to mouse + key because even though the flying felt good with joystick my precision aim was not, so i found a configuration for M+K that i tried out and after some practice i must say that your aim with the mouse is so much better and easier, it's pretty amazing!
-
I've heard of a lot people who use a 360 controller for flying on PC.
-
Yea i know but i don't like the aim you get with a controller, of course after some practice it will get better but i don't think you can ever get the precision a mouse offer IMO!
-
I play on my 360, I don't really like using a mouse, my hands are too jumpy, and a controller fits so nicely in my hands.
-
It's all in what your looking for i guess! :) I actually prefer the XBox controller over the PS3 controller and use it alot for other types of games on the PC, it works great for GTA and Dead Space to name a few!
-
I've never used my Xbox controller for bf on the PC. I've always used my mouse. I would think it would be a hassle to switch between the two because I prefer to use my gaming mouse for shooting.

I have deliberately avoided the Recon class since day one and decided the last couple of days to force me into ranking up that class and i have to say playing TDM helped me alot in getting acquainted with playing agressive recon which in the end makes you more comfortble with moving around and avoid camping in normal CQ and immerse you into PTFO as a recon. Which i say must be a good thing, right! :tup
Yea i still enjoy this game alot even though i have "kind of" taken a break from it, not because i'm tired from it but more building up the excitment for AK! :metal

Funny you should ask, i just played a 64 player server 2000 tickets on Metro and it's like you said mostly a clustefuck so for the most part i avoid high ticket servers on small maps.

But i just also got my highest score ever aaaand got accused for hacking.....so 2 first for me! :lol
If you're druminator - I was there, on your team and it was exactly what prompted me to post the above ;D
-
Yes that's me! :)
-
Cool ;) I stayed on the server for a bit after you left (saw the hacking accusations too, lol) but I got tired of the stalemate. Also, they discovered smoke nades - so on top of not being able to move anywhere without getting your balls shot off, there was no visibility beyond 1 meter most of the time.
-
:lol That's bad, sometimes you just can't do anything because your team don't know how to push and it becomes a wall of death!
-
True. It's like WWI - both teams kill eachother relentlessly but the frontline doesn't move more than a couple of meters. And bipoded lmgs around every corner are super annoying - and you can't even take the dude out with a grenade because explosives are not allowed.
EDIT: I know some people complain about netcode issues in BF3 but honestly - playing on a server across the friggin' ocean didn't really make my experience that much worse, it was pretty impressive.
-
I wish I could own the PC version of this game so I could experience these ridiculous games. I'm only stuck with the 12 on 12 Xbox 360 version. :sadpanda:
-

Just play at a buddy's house or something. It's not something you want experience more than once or twice, for sure - after that you start avoiding such servers like a plague. I usually get into games like that after clicking quick match and not checking where I'm connecting to.
-
I've actually had some of my most fun and team playish games on 16 player servers or even lower on PC so for me 64 player servers don't make it automatically more fun!
-
...unless it's Caspian Border, it's unplayable for me unless there's a lot of players on the server.
-
Yea it's diffrent from map to map but Metro, Seine, Bazaar and the CQ maps are all perfect for 16 players and Caspian, B2K maps and the others are perfect for 32 or more but the one map that i think works beautiful with 64 players are Firestorm....that's probably my favourite Tank map!
-
So any map that you guys absolutely dislike? Tehran Highway for me.
-
So any map that you guys absolutely dislike? Tehran Highway for me.
Tehran and Bazaar. Can't see shit on both of them.
-
I've always thought Bazaar makes for some very intense Rush matches!
-
It does - I think it's a well designed map, just the graphical side of it prevents me from enjoying the gameplay on it - I can't see my enemies quickly enough.
EDIT: I feel I should elaborate on the subject a bit more, since I'm over 50 hours in into BF3 and I still feel like I suck. My online FPS background is almost exlusively the Quake series - and while I do still think that Quake is the more challenging game of the two and it requires far more precise aim and movement (hell, mastering movement alone in quake can take months, if not years), having played a lot of quake has instilled some habits into my gameplay that are hard to get rid of, primarily concerning the level of visibility. In quake the opponent is visible instantly - because of the bright skins and a lot simpler maps. BF3 is my first "modern" shooter so I'm still not completely used to the detailed graphics and not being able to see the opponents easily. Also, my twitch aim and ability to stay on target is fairly decent, I'm still slightly struggling with controlling the recoil of the weapons in BF3 - the guns in quake have no recoil and while you do have to be more precise in quake, you don't have to fight your own weapons. So yeah.
-
The map i've played the least is actually Wake Island but it's not because i don't really like it more the fact that playing infantry on it is useless because i tend to run more than i shoot but it's a great vehicle and aerial map though and it's visually stunning.
But yeah Tehran is probably the one that i overall don't like very much although rush can be pretty fun and i like the background scenery and that it's a night time map. I would love if Dice explored night time maps in the future.
-
I've no problem with DICE exploring more nighttime maps, I'd love to see some big map, a la Firestorm, Caspian Border, at night.
But Tehran is just not very good!
-

I guess Tehran would be my least favorite, but I havent played it much so I probably havent given it a good chance.
My favorites are:
Caspian Border
Operation 925
Operation Firestorm
Grand Bazaar
Ziba Tower

Armored Kill on consoles...haha
As a console player, I'm kind of bummed out. I wish I had a PC that could handle playing this game on it. Then I would play this on the PC all day.
-
I'm not, the game is still ridiculously fun! Though I'd love to play Caspian Border, Operation Firestorm, Noshar Canals with 64 players, I can still see how much of a clusterfuck it can turn into in something like Operation Métro.
-
But the huge armored kill maps with such a small amount of players?
-
But the huge armored kill maps with such a small amount of players?
The maps will likely be scaled down to fit the small amount of players like the Caspian Border version of the consoles.
-
I can't imagine playing on a console. Anything less than 64 is boring on the large maps. With the biggest map ever, it will seem empty without 64.
-
I actually play 32 player servers, 64 is a bit too much imo.
-
I like 32 on close quarters maps and 64 on all else. I could do 48 too.
-
But the huge armored kill maps with such a small amount of players?
They'll obviously be scaled down, as they've done with every map in the game.
-
Okay, didn't know that - never played the console version.

Holy shit, P90 + suppressor + kobra sight is a BEASTLY combo for TDM.

OK! Who's pumped for some AK next week? My sorry ass have to wait another week though but i'm starting to get really worked up especially after the AK trailer relased this week and this (https://blogs.battlefield.com/2012/08/inside-dice-alborz/?sourceid=bf3-wp-ot-alborz&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=wallpost&utm_campaign=other&utm_content=alborz) inside article from DICE showing a fly through of the map Alborz Mountain. :metal

I didn't expect to be since I'm not the biggest fan of vehicle combat, but I am looking forward to AK.

I don't have premium.. :(

There's gonna be so much mayhem in those 64 player matches!
The AC-130 right now is nigh impossible to use because everyone is spawn camping it and, as far as I can tell, there's only one that switches between teams. I'll explain: the match starts and the gunship is on the US team, it will remain on the US team until the RU destroys it and when it next spawns it's part of the RU team and so forth. There's only 2 seats in it, but you can still spawn on it, only that it drops you paratrooper style on the sky.
There's a map which take place in a snowy mountain that I couldn't help but sing the Skyrim theme on it. :lol
But there's one that feels like Caspian Border Pt. 2. The terrains, buildings, antennas, even color schemes are the same, just bigger.
I'm bummed that with this new patch the pilot of a Little Bird/Z11W can no longer use the deadly laser designation/guided missile combo (as it's been put on the 4th seat, like the third seats on tanks).
-
It looks like I got the update on the PC today. I got really excited cause I downloaded the big update and then the multiplayer selection had all the armored kill maps and what not but sadly I couldn't play them. I thought Christmas came early, it was such a tease.
-
M416 is ridiculous at medium and long range now. It's great to see my favourite AR get a buff :D
-
I'm really looking forward to Tuesday so I can get a few games played before I go back to spending the rest of my life studying. :lol
-
I just discovered the awesomeness of noshar canals 64 player team deathmatch. :hat
-
So I just did this on a Rush match on Bandaar Desert, using exclusively the AC-130:
(https://puu.sh/12X4G)
That includes 32 straight kills before the other team blew up the gunship.
-
Is the AC130 fun? Im still bummed it's not pilotable.
-
Bit the bullet and got the premium an hour ago. Stoked for AK, even though I'm terrible in vehicles :D
-
Is the AC130 fun? Im still bummed it's not pilotable.
That would be sweet if it was pilotable, but also kind of sketching because you know some people wouldn't have the common sense to be able to do it properly.
-

I guess, but that's true of every vehicle in the game. Really feels like a cop out to me. I mean, it's Battlefield for fuck's sake!
-
It's fun as long as you aren't up against it. A good shooter on the cannon gun (since you get the big cannon type gun and the high-caliber machine gun to use) can help you control a Rush map to the point where the defending team will have no chance to disarm the m-comm unless they make destroying the gunship a priority.
-
Can it defend itself well against jihaders?
-
You have the ability to switch to some machine guns to help defend against planes/choppers (though I've found that there's a blind spot on the very back of the gunship) and you can deploy flares for AA missiles.
The flares take a loooong time to reload, I'd say at least double the time it takes on a plane/chopper. But each person on the gunship can deploy one so you can alternate.
-
AK is out! :metal
I have only played a bit on each map so far and my first impression: They are ALOT bigger than i thought which is of course a good thing and the visuals are absolutly stunning.
-

Are they the good kind of big (Kharg) or the terrible kind of big (caspian, firestorm)? I haven't had the chance to play them yet.
-
The capture points seem more spread out, which is nice.
-

I don't know what you mean?
I love them so far but i need more playtime before i judge. Alot of people complain about the AC-130 being underpowered though.

Terrible as in "shots from nowhere," which make caspian and firestorm unplayable for me. Also, air rape - the team with decent pilots will ALWAYS win on these maps. That also applies to Kharg, but not so much as on caspian and firestorm.
-
I love Caspian, probably my favorite map... but these maps are bigger.
-
Personally, I would love to see more urban maps like Seine.
EDIT: BTW, out of sheer curiosity - what's your average accuracy, guys? Mainly speaking to PC crowd here.
-
i think, like, 15% or something.
-
That's pretty nice ;) Mine's somewhere around 22% right now, but that's after a stat reset and after only an hour of gameplay so it's bound to go down. Before the reset it was 17.3% after a 100h of gameplay.
-
Mine is like 10%. I go for suppression assists when I use light machine guns and the suppression skill.
-
So i was playing some BF3 and suddenly got kicked from this server:
(https://s9.postimage.org/fw004vozj/Stupid.jpg)
Now this is how low admins have gone in my opinion. Everytime i got a kill using the Recon class i was "killed by admin" and the second kill got me kicked from the server. It's like you can't even stand still for one sec without being called a camper and on this server you apparently are a camper when you use the Recon class no matter what because as far as i can see there is no indication whatsoever that the Recon is not allowed, right? When i asked why i got kicked i of course got kicked again just for asking. How stupid are people? All these server rules are ruin the game, yes i do enjoy some variation on the gameplay but it's seems like all of the fucking servers these days have tons of rules and restrictions.
-
Sounds like a stupid server. I just got the game a few days ago, but I've found some servers that I enjoy quite a bit.
-
So have any PS3 players downloaded Aftermath? And if: Your thoughts? What i've heard so far is that alot of players are really enjoying it and some are saying that it might even be the best DLC so far! So if it's working great on console i just can't wait to try it out on the PC! :tup

Aftermath is already coming out? I haven't even played Armored kill yet :x.

The maps are really, really cool! Big maps with lots of different "levels", by which I mean that you can go all the way up to a skyscraper or through the basement of an office building. Lots of hiding places you can use and/or camp on.
The new vehicles are cool, though one is pretty weak against the Z-11W/Little Bird machine guns, it's mostly just a transport vehicle.

-
What's this scavenger game? I've been playing BO2 lately but I think I'll be heading back to BF3 next week.
-
You start off with a knife, pistol and 1 grenade and then you have to search the map for better weapons with x amount of ammo. That's atleast what i've heard!
-
Kind of like halo? Where you start with a basic loadout and the better guns are placed in spots?
-
I guess so, never played that Halo mode!
-
Scavenger is that old school FPS multiplayer mode of everyone starting out the same and guns being in different places around the map for you to pick up. Haven't played it yet, though.
-
I guess so, never played that Halo mode!
That's halo in general, no specific mode.

Bought Premium today, I am excite!
:caffeine:
-
I'm pretty excited for Aftermath after seeing all these videos and comments from PS3 players.
-
I haven't played aftermath but I get the feeling that its more of a battlefield expansion pack compared to close quarters which is more cod like and armored kill which was too large. I really look forward to this.
-
Yeah, I really disliked Armored Kill. Battlefield is already a game with a lot of running/waiting involved. No need to exacerbate that with even more enormous maps.
-
You gotta admit the AK maps are high class when we talking art and graphics. If they are to big? I don't have a problem with it altough if i play on a full server and all the vehicles are taken it can be frustrating but other than that i love big maps. I love flying around on Bandar Desert on empty servers.
-
I mean, sure but that stuff matters a lot less when the gameplay isn't fun.
-
I REALLY like Conquest Domination, and the maps for that are just phenomenal artwise and practical wise. It's like they took the concept of CoD's smaller maps, and said "Lets make them good" and coupled with BF3's awesome gameplay makes for a great time.
-
I mean, sure but that stuff matters a lot less when the gameplay isn't fun.
Don't know specifically what you mean but i guess that's up to who you play with and your team. The "gameplay" itself is the same on all maps other than diffrent modes. If you mean how the gameplay plays out then that's a diffrent thing, i mean the AC-130 has been a hot topic for example and balance overall but that is a tough nut to crack for Dice when everybody wants diffrent things.
-
I agree with Antigoon. The gameplay isnt the same. The maps are so large that having a vehicle is almost necessary when you spawn, unless you go off a capture point. And then, the other team has so many vehicles that ground war has less of an impact on the match. I do really love the look and feel of the maps, but for them to have better gameplay, I think more than 64 players would be needed. Too much emptiness IMO or too much vehicle action for me. I personally loved the CQ maps and that gameplay, but that is also a very different style than standard BF.
-
Ground war has little to no impact on the AK maps. The only one where I've seen ground troops have impact is when you're playing rush on Alborz Mountains.
-

Alborz Mountains is my favorite map, but there's never any servers that run it :'(
-
I guess were only talking about CQ and CQ Large. I agree that Bandar Desert is lacking infantry combat and maybe more players would have helped but regarding the other maps, i think they are working great. I have been in alot of infantry fights on those maps especially on Alboraz Mountain.

Anyone else here had the chance to play with some of Aftermath? Epicenter has to be the best map I've ever played in Battlefield series, hell any FPS.
-
It took a few hours to download last night so I only played 15 minutes. It was fun but obviously not enough time to get anopinion. Hopefully I can put more time into it today.
-
I played it for about half an hour yesterday night when I got home but I don't remember much of it since I was rather drunk :-X. But I think I enjoyed it :lol
-
I'm going to try to download here soon. But I have a final tomorrow, so I won't be able to play it today at all.
-
Holy shit the maps are SO much better than AK.
I wish this had come out earlier, though. I feel a little spent on Battlefield.
-
Just played for an hour or so, the maps are really awesome.
-
Now you guys really make me want to play, but I really need to study. Currently taking a break for lunch right now.
And to be honest, I feel a bit spent on Battlefield. But that was mostly due to the fact I didn't really like AK that much, with the exception of a map or two on Rush. Hopefully Aftermath gets me back into playing BF3, especially over winter break.
-
I had that when AK came out (and thus almost didnt play it at all, also because I hate big maps). This expansion comes out right when I felt like getting back to the game again :).
-
Played for the last hour or so and Im loving it so far. Played one game of scavenger and that was a lot of fun.
-
I'm lovin this DLC! Good map layouts with alot of diffrent routes, my favourite at the moment is Azadi Palace. I love that dice put in all the modes in this package.
-
I played scavenger for a couple hours and its really fun.
-
Yea it's a fun mode.
-
I play rush 98% of the time, but I played two games of scavenger and it was kinda okay.
-
How's rush in AM? Only played a little bit.
-
It's pretty good, the mcoms are placed good so I think it's rather balanced for attackers/defenders.

How?

423? He seems legit so i don't wanna blame him for anything but.....how? :|
I've been lately trying too fix my lousy K/D ratio, being a result of my awful first two month in the game where i struggled to learn the game and everything because BF3 is my first in the series. Let me put it simple: I died ALOT in the beginning therefor i have a high death ratio and that have followed me even when i started to get better at the game. I'm in no interest to reset my stats because i only play for my own enjoyment meaning that i only care for the progress i make and not the stats itself but i do use my stats to see my progress. I love Better Battlelog for precisly that thing.
I mean sure there's alot more than just having good K/D ratio but that's what i'm focusing on at the moment.
Higher stats don't make you a better/skilled player but it's awesome that you can follow every inch of your playtime and judge for yourself what you have to improve upon and that is something i really enjoy.
When i look at his (https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/soldier/kylpykuula/stats/348452250/) player stats, i mean he got 119,695 kills and 37,742 deaths which makes his K/D ratio 3.17! My K/D ratio now is 0.98 which is better than 0.85 that i had in august but still so damn far away from 3.17! Stuff like that just kills me, her i work my butt off and then players like this shows up! Arrggghhhh!
Yes i'm an avid BF player! :lol
-
How? LOOK AT THAT ROUND TIME!! Fucking 2:06!
My K/D ratio is 1.26. ;)
-
How? LOOK AT THAT ROUND TIME!! Fucking 2:06!
My K/D ratio is 1.26. ;)
Yea i know but still....423! Thats insane!
-
I don't think so, I've gotten my fair shares of 80-90 kill games in those 50-60 minutes long Conquest rounds, and this is on consoles with 24 players only! I can certainly see myself getting 200-300 on PC.
-
I salute your confidence but i played since day one on PC and my highest score during a match is 133/66 with a run time on 1h 42m and that was a very on sided game. I very rarely see anyone with over 200 kills no matter how long the match time is. It sure can happen but it's not as common as you may think.

I thought about resetting my stats when I first got premium. I was terrible when I first started (kdr of like .6) but worked really hard over time to get it to 1.01. So I'm happy with doing that but my overall stats aren't impressive.

Yea that's exactly what i did too, i have worked my ass off because i was terrible in the beginning and those bad results led to that my ratio went extremly slow up even though my gameplay had become alot better. Last night i just said: fuck it, let's just reset and see what will happen.
To give some perspective i had 24566 kills with a K/D ratio of 1.02 and now i have 80 kills with a K/D ratio of 1.7! :| :blush
-
Well hopefully you can keep that kdr up but id be sad to see over 24000 kills disapear
-
Well the thing is all the statistics in "All Time Statistics" is still the same it's only those over the reset button that seems to change. But yea that felt a little i must admit, when it said 0 kills.

Just wanna add that "All Time Statstics" have the real K/D noted and everything else so those four over the Reset button are only cosmetic changes in lack of a better word so the reset button dosen't really change anything anyway. You could call those "at the moment" ratios if you will. If you have Better Battlelog (recommend it to every PC player, don't know if it works with the consoles) the numbers and statistics transferred are based on the input from the "real" statistics.

Pretty cool but the night mod is just freakin awesome. The Frostbite engine has so much potential and it's sad that we didn't see any approved mods for BF3 so i'm hoping DICE have learned their lesson with BF4.

Are there mods in Battlefield 3?
I was always a big fan of the series, but haven't played anything past Battlefield 2 because it looked like it just became a Call of Duty clone.

When does End Game come out?

No mods or tweaks are allowed. There are some mods circling around that you can use but there's a big risk your gonna get banned from the game.
Here's some cool ones! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48oiNt2jccQ)
There's been alot of complaining in the BF community that DICE have not supported the modding community with the Frostbite 2 engine. Apparently the engine is to complicated at the moment or something like that, i'm not quite sure. Hopefully they have solved it when BF4 comes out.
The "BF3 have become like COD" discussion is a hot topic amongst fans and have been going on for a while. It's all about personal taste in the end but if I may speak for myself a bit I atleast enjoy BF3 alot and for me the game is the best FPS multiplayer game at the moment. I still think that BF3 and COD are two diffrent games no matter what anyone says.
When does End Game come out?
No dates yet other than it will come out in March.

That's just dev speak for "we don't want anyone to play the game any other way."
Guess I won't get it then. I still have Forgotten Hope and Project Reality, so I don't really care. From the looks of all the gameplay I've seen, the Battlefield series has given up on what made it unique in the first place.
-
I haven't played any other BF besides BF3, and I don't see it being much like COD besides the very basics of a modern FPS. What made the older BFs different?

I highly doubt DICE don't care about the modding community since they obviously supported it in the past. But the engine is new and complicated, here's a quote:
Frostbite 2 is quite complex and it wll be very difficult for people to mod the game. Moreover, because of the nature of the set up of levels, of the destruction and all those things… modding and mapping could get a bit tricky.
You can believe or not but that's what they say.
I highly recommend you to play BF3 and then judge because it is a really good game.

It might be EA's hand, I don't know. But to state "Oh, it's too complex for the community, so we're not going to let you do it at all" is a major cop-out when you consider how much more the community has added onto the original games. The skill of the coders and designers on the mod teams are at least equal to those of the game designers themselves.
I have played some BF3, and it didn't make that good an impression. Things were certainly glossier, but the scale was (again) smaller and teamwork had been completely de-emphasized.

Well, Battlefield 1942 still has the biggest scale of all the Battlefield games. It came out in 2002 and established pretty much all of the defining features: 64 player multiplayer, huge maps (like 50+ square km), and a full complement of land, air, and naval warfare. It was awesome and unparalleled in scope. There were maps where you could captain submarines or battleships, fly fighters and torpedo bombers, drive tanks and APCs, man artillery, and be infantry all on the same battlefield. It was great, and the mod community for it was phenomenal and gave the game huge amounts of free content and variety (Forgotten Hope and Desert Combat are still regularly played online)
Battlefield Vietnam came out in 2004 and was pretty damn cool. It wasn't as polished as 1942 and certainly had its fair share of issues, but it had some really cool elements that I really wish had been carried forward. Armies were asymmetrical (i.e., the North Vietnamese equipment was inferior to American equipment) and the game encouraged the two sides to fight in radically different ways. The multiplayer was really fun and interesting because of the different variety of tactics. Unfortunately naval warfare was largely dropped (albeit with a justified historical reason).
Battlefield 2 was released in 2005. Completely new engine, graphical overhaul, and a number of new features. Really fun to play. The best thing it introduced was new ways to help teamwork: squads, commanders, VOIP, etc. Once again an extremely great mod community that really unlocked the potential of the game. Forgotten Hope 2 reverts things back to WWII and has 128 player servers, and is awesome as hell. Project Reality is super-realistic, and emphasizes teamwork above everything else, making it really cool and fun to play with a mic and a good squad. Naval warfare was completely dropped, size of maps was reduced, and some elements like airlifting, artillery spotting, etc. were taken out.

Fair enough, i'm not gonna try convert you or anything. :) But i will say that i've had my share of excellent teamwork and teamplay in BF3 (pub play will always be pub play if you don't use teamspeak with friends) and one of the DLCs contained the biggest map in BF history so i've had a bit of everything.
Now the problem with BF3 today is that the community is alot bigger than before and there are alot more casual players which would probably make VOIP and commander useless on pub play. If you wanna experience the good old days when everybody did teamplay with VOIP i think your best bet would be to play in a organized competitive community like levelbf.com, they organize 32 vs 32 tournaments reguarly and those matches are freakin intense and alot of fun.
The days when you could jump alone in a pub game and everybody worked together are sadly over but that dosen't mean you can't have fun, if you play with the right people and use teamspeak you can have a blast with tons of teamwork. :)
-
Hmm. Maybe I'll get it when the price drops to $15 or $10 then. I imagine there are a bunch of specialty servers that cater to people who want teamwork.

So you PS3 folks may actually have the next DLC in a couple of days....infact maybe even tomorrow! ;)

So now we finally have some dates for End Game:
PS3 Premium members: March 5th
X360 and PC Premium members: March 12th
PS3 players: March 19th
X360 and PC players: March 26th
-
I'll definitely download this on the 12th. :metal
-
I gotta say, Aftermath and End Game are the best DLCs for BF3!
The maps for EG in Rush are just utterly fantastic and CtF is such an adrenaline rush, except for the occasional people who camp the flags. Air Superiority is just a constant cacophony of heat seekers locking on, but it's fun as well!
-
Glad to hear it's enjoyable on PS3! :tup

-
I don't know if I'm ready for a new battlefield, honestly.
-
I'd rather DICE do Bad Company 3 before BF4.
-
I'd like to see what new features they're going to reveal that would justify a numbered sequel.
-
Better be something more than "look at this rain physics!!". And since this is a next-gen game, I expect 64 MP for everyone regardless of console.
-
Let's hope that's the case. I feel like the 360 version of the game suffers from a lack of players on some maps.
-
I honestly don't understand how you console guys do it without 64p.
-
The maps are scaled down, so you don't really miss those extra 30 players.
-
Yeah I know they scale down the maps when the players get that low on PC too, and I never have fun :lol
-
Well, excuuuuuseeee me... asshole.
-
The maps are scaled down, so you don't really miss those extra 30 players.
I think the maps still suffer, even though they're scaled down. Some maps work great, but Caspian Border and the largest map from Armored Kill (can't remember its name) is really bad.
-
Bandar Desert? Yeah, that map sucks!
-
I'd like to see what new features they're going to reveal that would justify a numbered sequel.
All would be forgiven if it was mod tools.
I honestly don't understand how you console guys do it without 64p.
Once you go 128, nothing else is the same.
-
Don't go to deep into 64 or more players and think that's automatically better. The map layout go hand in hand with the number of players. All the map layouts in BF3 have not been suited for 64 players and trust me, you do not wanna experience "another" 64 player Metro on console! I had a blast playing that map 8v8 on PC FYI. I do wish DICE would make future maps/DLCs more consistent to eachother in size.
-
Or do what they did with BF2: three variants of each map, designed for specific numbers of players.
-
Yea that could also work.
-
I just hope they increase the number of players on console. 24 players just isn't enough! :lol
-
It's not like they can't. Battlefield 1942 was originally designed for 100 players, and Battlefield 2 has the capacity for much higher than that... on a next gen console, there's absolutely no reason why they can't manage at least 64.
-
They are gonna increase the player account atleast so it matches the PC on console. It's not rocket science to figure out that they had problems with the old consoles being it's hardware from 2005.
-
I definitely expect them to up the players without a doubt when the next Playstation and Xbox consoles come out later this year. That should be no problem, whatsoever.
-
It's amazing what people can do without mod tools:

Even on pc I never play on 64 player servers, way too chaotic and spammy for my taste.
-
I cant play anything but 64 players, except on close quarters, I play 32 or maybe 48. I always tell my friends about how awesome BF is, but then I say I wouldn't play it on consoles. Personally, Id find it boring without enough players. Just too much space, even on the adjusted maps. Then add in vehicles and its just not enough ground troops for my taste.
-
You never get more than two tanks/jets/choppers in consoles.

I'm assuming it will be posted online or something cool like that?

There will not be any videos or anything of the reveal/event until tomorrow (not that i've heard of). This is just for the press and other "important" folks. It all will be made public on the 27th when the press embargo is dropped.
-
I'm pretty sure we'll get an "OMG DEM GRAPHICS" from few of the people there.

"Frostbite 2 is now just a faded memory engraved in the back of our minds. Frostbite 3. No further explanation needed."

BF4 will still be on Frostbite 2 (2.5 I believe they're calling it), though.

My points/comments about the trailer:
1. It basically looked and felt in some parts only like an updated version of BF3 both in terms of visuals, sound and aesthetics. I ain't saying that's necessarily a bad thing though.
2. The two sights seems like a cool idea.
3. I never say no to good graphics so i'm more than happy with the new Frostbite 3 engine being used and surprised to.
4. Sound update. :tup
5. The new spotting function seems like a nice add.
6. Damn that player had a shitty aim, which i blame the controller for. :lol
7. The in-game display felt not real for some reason and plastered on or something, i'm guessing that part is WIP.
The trailer didn't really reveal anything that shocked me but i didn't expect it to either. I enjoyed it but i'm more excited for what DICE has done and gonna do with the multiplayer aspect of the game.
This 60s TV spot trailer is pretty cool:

Can you explain what you mean by spammy?
I meant that there is too much going on. Shooting and rockets everywhere.
-
Ah! I see what you mean.
-
I just played end game for the first time, liked it a lot. CTF has always been one of my favourite game modes in shooters so I am really happy they added it, then I have something else to play besides rush. Played a few rounds of it and it is awesome! Having the flag and trying to escape with a motorcycle whilst a helicopter is chasing you and the bullets fly past, what an intense experience.
-
You know what sucks? The Flats... I think that's what it's called.
"Oh hey, I'll just spawn and head that wa-" *stopped by twelve tanks*
"Well, I'll go THIS w-" run over by jeep, shot by helicopter, blown up by tank.
*fast-click "Deploy" over and over and over*
*spawns with head in front of barrel of enemy's tank*
"Fuck it I quit."

You play with some shitty teammates!

Electronic Arts registers domains for Battlefield 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20
It's funny though because there seems to be a market on buying future domain brand names before the "big companys" do and then sell them at a fucktard price.
The site destructoid.com has bought the domain name battlefield69.com for 8 bucks.

Awesome list on new and confirmed things:
https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/1g7qls/bf4_running_list_of_things_weve_learned_so_far/
For example:
VoIP for PC
Battlepacks:
Through the course of their multiplayer career, players will receive Battlepacks containing random combinations of new camos, dog tags, knives, XP boosts, and gun attachments. These items are designed to add customization options while not being game-changing. *Credit to u/AdiAir
Motion sensor balls for Recon
C4 for Recon class
C4 can now be thrown (at a limited distance)
Customizable secondary weapons (i.e barrels for pistols, sights and camos)
Suppressing a Recon only possible by Support class (making players screen blur)
5 person squads
2 types of med packs. A smaller one which can be tossed to trapped teammate or stuck onto a passerby
Levolution of buildings is not scripted, requires team effort
64 players on all platforms (66 players counting Commanders for both teams
Spectator Mode (Confirmed for "nextgen" consoles) submitted by u/phresch
Flash bangs
Incendiary grenades
Weapons (pistols) can now be fired while swimming
Kill assists of 90+ now count as kills. Possibly counting as kills for both players, also possibly on kills assists above 50
Angled grips for primary weapons
Ability to click on a base on the map to spawn there
3 team factions, USA, Russia and China
You can shoot fire extinguishers to get a smokescreen
sprint swimming and ability to dive underwater for stealth
Dynamic environment, area will remain dusty/cloudy after heavy damage or demolition of a building
Addition of side sights (side mounted iron sights) to primary guns for closed quarters combat (will not distort FOV)
Addition of working elevators.
Addition of deploy-able road blocks for stopping road traffic.
Perk bar reset on squad wipe
and many more things....
-
Those additions sound pretty awesome. I like the road blocks. That would help big time in infantry vs tanks. I wish they would up the players for PC (assuming they have extremely large maps)
-
You're telling me BF3 had no VOIP on PC??

This got me worried a bit: "Info hopefully coming soon. But please note the 64 computers feature at E3 featured AMD FX8350 processor and Two AMD 7990's for GPU's."
I heard that LvlCap thought the game felt a bit sluggish when he played and thought that was because of slow computers.
:omg:
Of course there's alot of things that could explain that.
EDIT: Actually it was two AMDs 7970 which makes me a bit happier.

Also Op. Metro, Op. Firestorm, Gulf Of Oman and Caspian Border will return in the Second Assault DLC.
-
fuck that looks good
-
Instead of Gulf of Oman they should've put Kharg Island. Nothing against the map itself, since it's really good, but I think this is the 4th BF game with it in it.
-
Jesus Christ, that looks awesome.
I'm holding off on pre-ordering because I want to get BF4 with the new Xbox or PS4 console. Haven't had the time to look at the pros and cons of each console yet...
I definitely hope the new consoles can allow more than 24 players in a game. That would make the game several times better just with that improvement.

You bet, 64 players on next gen is confirmed and btw just heard the PS4 will launch 15th of nov. in NA and 29th of nov. in EU. :)
-
Metro ... [is] awesome!
Says the 32 players max 360 player :lol

:lol I don't play it on 360 :lol
I picked it up for PC on that Humble Origin Bundle. It was still awesome.

Oh wow so you really are a terrible person :lol
-
Well, I'm no Ryan Gallagher.
-
I'm leaning towards getting a PS4 instead of an Xbox One this time around.
-
I'll be getting it on the Xbox One, Titan Fall looks amazing, so I'll enjoy BF4 in it's glory on the XB1 :)
-
Titan Fall looks insane!
-
shee, i'm 'bout to cancel my ps4 preorder.
-
God damn, this will be a hard decision...
-
Please tell me Titan Fall is making everybody consider the XB1. Not to hijack the thread for it or anything, but it looks like one of the best games I've ever seen.

^^Naw it's coming out for PC so not for me. It looks and apparently plays awesome.

Well personally I just mean that I'm dropping out of the next gen console party for now. I can play everything I want to play, including Titanfall, on my PC.
-
also - real talk. Every time someone says Levolution a small child dies.

I don't care what they call it, but it sound incredibly cool! Especially from that one map they mention where you can destroy a dam or levee to flood the map.

I wish I could get into PC gaming, but I always run into a heap of technical trouble just trying to get games to run properly, and that's on my mediocre laptop :lol
-
That was always my impression of PC gaming until I built a proper rig and since I haven't really had any problems.
-
How much would a "good"(good meaning I can run everything at the settings they're intended to be at) run around generally, I'd be up for building a rig, I just have no idea where to start, it all seems a little daunting
-
Under $1k. I'm not the best person to ask for specifics since I sorta just set my budget and followed a guide, but you should be able to build something suitable for well under that.
-
Hrm, I'm already setting money away for an XB1, but I think after school I might start setting aside money for a rig.
-
didn't use it myself, but I've heard reddit.com/r/buildapc is a great resource if you want to look more into it.

This could be a good start because he's building a PC roughly at the same price of a console:

I recently built one for some $750-800 which has, so far, run everything at max/ultra. Newegg and Tiger Direct have some very good deals so you could find check them out and pick up stuff much cheaper.
And it's anything but daunting putting it all together.

Just got confirmation from Lars in an interview... BF4 on PS4 runs at 720p upscaled to 1080p and solid 60 fps.
https://twitter.com/jackfrags/status/370847476754157568
That's interesting. So why not run the game at 1080p when it's been told that the PS4 could handle 1080p? Or it's just a current gen port?
Update:
To clarify: BF4 running at a higher resolution than 720p in the PS4 dev environment. Final resolution when the game is optimised at launch!

After looking at Titanfall and BF4, it looks like I'll be getting an XB1. Now hopefully they can announce a release date soon.

PC gamer here. My Battlefield name is dreamshade. Almost 700 hours in BF2, over 700 hours in BF3, looking forward to BF4.
I'm in AT so I'm on EU servers with good pings. Currently not playing too often, but it will increase the closer the beta gets.
Messages and hooahs welcome. Looking forward to teaming up or shooting you people.
Oh and shooters on consoles suck! ;D

I'm Druminator82 btw. Haven't played so much lately either but trust me, I will be all over the beta from what i've seen so far. :metal
We have a DTF platoon, not very active though :lol Don't know who the admin is though. Could be Antigoon.
-
I'm cramx3. Haven't been playing much either lately.
-
So who's excited for the beta? Only two weeks left! :metal
I've started building a new PC not just for BF4 but for the future in general. My current PC is more then 2 and 1/2 years old except for the GPU. I will upgrade the components in phazes starting with the CPU and MoBo. I'm actually gonna invest some more money in those core parts just to make them as future proof as possible.
MoBo: ASUS Z87-A, Socket-1150
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell
It's not the most expensive mobo but from reviews i've seen it's a solid thing that also has SLI support not that I have that in mind but it's good to know that the option is there. I first had the i7-3770 in mind but had a re-think and went with a 4th generation i7 instead mostly because the price diffrence is only about 30$ more and for that you have a more recent CPU with some more juice.

Ah man! I bought an Ivy Bridge for the computer I built back in May and they already made a new architecture?? :lol

Trust me, I know that feel man. A pretty common feel amongst PC builders in general. :lol I think they revealed Haswell this summer or something.

BF4 Beta coming October 1st for premium members and October 4th for everyone else. Pretty excited. I'm downloading it on my 360 and then I'll get the actual game when the Xbox One comes out in November.
-
I didn't think I'd be excited for this game at all (and I think I made some posts in this very thread saying so) but here we are, late September, and I'm itching for the beta.
-
Same here. Just over a week to wait. :corn
-
Looking forward to the beta, I'll probably play a lot with a 400h+ BF3 friend. :flame:
Not looking forward to most likely needing something stronger than my GTX580 with 3GB. :\

So here's a sneak peek at all the 10 new MP maps in the vanilla game:
Siege Of Shanghai "Siege"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_siege.jpg)
Paracel Storm "Naval"

Operation Locker "Prison"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_prison.jpg)
Golmud Railway "Journey"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_journey.jpg)
"Damage"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_damage.jpg)
Flood Zone "Flooded"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_flooded.jpg)
Zavod 311 "Abandoned"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_abandoned.jpg)
Hainan Resort "Resort"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_resort.jpg)
"Tremors"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_tremors.jpg)
"Dish"
(https://battlelog-cdn.battlefield.com/cdnprefix/7bc2f0ffb12585/public/base/bf4/map_images/992x164/mp_dish.jpg)
Flooded, Abandoned and Tremors looks especially interesting.

I'm sure we will. The thing with DTF is that we're pretty damn fast when it comes to news and stuff to be released soon. In fact it's rumoured DT come here to find nuggets about their upcoming projects before they actually write them. Some may call it temporal mechanics fuck up, others know it's just another DTF day. :P
The concept art for the maps looks great by the way. I know they usually don't say anything about the final map except the setting and basic mood, but simply based on those pics I'm looking forward to Journey, Damage, and Abandoned.

Thanks guys :) Been a long road and I'm finally about to start on another project but not before an epic 64 player PC test today. As far as the coolest maps goes, don't sleep on Dish. It's got some really neat stuff happening if I may say so. Ok, enough shilling. Glad to see you guys are excited and I hope it will live up to expectations.

I'm more excited about the Beta now. And the eventual release on the Xbox One. Can't wait for the awesome 64-player games on console.

Yeah, there's always stuff that gets cut due to scope or that it just doesn't fit or whatever. Sometimes you gotta kill your darlings to to speak :) Half of the dev process is arriving at compromises but I'm pretty used to it by now so you try not to get too attached to every single idea you may come up with if that makes any sense.

That makes totally sense, it's just a process you have to accept given that there's so many factors you have to consider before you fully implement something.

I actuall just bought a new GPU but it hasn't arrived and I can't install it anyway because I need a new PSU and most likely a new MoBo and CPU :angry: but i'm in the midst of upgrading so eventually it will happen. Until then I need to run on my current setup and I don't think my poor GPU will like that very much, not at all.

Does anyone know when the beta is supposed to be available tomorrow?

I think I heard 10:00 CEST somewhere.

That's mean its available at 4am here. Looks like I'll see if I can download it and play a match or two before my first class.
-
pre loading woo!
-
Pretty fun looking around on the map where people play. I can report that there's as of now 3 BF4 players on Greenland, that's 3 more than I thought! :lol
-
I'm still waiting on the BF4 beta link to pop up on my Xbox live marketplace. Was hoping to download it before class, but I don't think that's going to happen. No big deal.
Can't wait to download and play when I get back. :corn
-
So i've been playing a bit and enjoying it very much. I run medium/high and it flows pretty good with my 560Ti although I get the occasional frame drops on certain places. First time I saw the building drop I nearly got goosebumps. I was standing on top and you hear these loud thumps, then you know shits is about to get real so you just run and jump, slowly glides down while the building crumbles. Pretty damn cool.
It feels very much like BF3 although you character moves a bit slowly, almost like you feel the weight you are carrying. The sound is absolutly top notch and gun play feels very smooth.
I like the map, just played a match where the enemy team completly owned the C flag (tower) and camped every elevator so you couldn't get up. So my team started to fire at the pillars and eventually the ground started to shake and the building fell down. At that point the match just turned and we could push the enemies back. Very cool moment. Btw the building seems to take more punches then I thought and it took a while before it fell down.
I feel though that the game for some reason feels very much like a beta, on several spots I saw missing textures and I got stuck in the death screen several times and couldn't spawn. Nothing that ruined my experience and i'm sure things will get fixed.
Overal i'm very optimistic and I look forward to follow this game transform into a final product.
-
Still waiting for the download link to be posted on the Xbox live marketplace, so I'm fairly jealous of everyone who is already playing. From what I hear and understand, Microsoft is in the process of rolling out the beta invites for people with Premium access, so I'll just have to be patient and hope it is put up soon for me. Thank God for being a premium member. It looks like I'll be going premium for when BF4 comes out, as well.
-
So I have some money on an amazon gift card and was considering the prepurchae of bf4. I see you get the expansion pack but I am wondering if it is known of that pack is part of bf4 premium. I see you can already per purchase premium on amazon so I'm wondering if there is a point to buying bf4 ahead of time. I know I will get the game I just don't know if I'll be ready to play day 1 and I'll definitely get the premium as well so I just want to know if I get something worthy with the per purchase.

#BF4 standard
#BF4 Deluxe edition (Includes China Rising and beta access)
#BF4 Premium service (Includes the expansions: China Rising, Second Assault (4 remade BF3 maps), Naval Strike, Dragons Teeth and Final Stand)
+ TWO-WEEK EARLY ACCESS TO ALL FIVE EXPANSION PACKS
+ EXCLUSIVE PERSONALIZATION OPTIONS
+ 12 BONUS BATTLEFIELD 4 BATTLEPACKS
+ SEAMLESSLY TRANSFER PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP FROM XBOX 360 TO XBOX ONE AND PS3 TO PS4
So yes China Rising is part of the deluxe edition so you could save some money and buy the standard version and buy premium later if you like. I haven't bought premium myself yet but I did buy the deluxe edition.
-
Beta runs pretty poorly for me but i've got the warm and fuzzies again playing with all my old friends. Good stuff.
Also, the portable soflam + RPG is ridiculously overpowered. Been abusing that combo all night on the rooftops :lol
-
Yea the roof tops are a camping party but it's so satisfying taking the elevator up and sneak behind players with C4. Unless they hear the damn elevator beep and you get slaughtered by 5 guys waiting for you at the top. :lol

I run medium/high and it flows pretty good with my 560Ti although I get the occasional frame drops on certain places.
So that's why you said it feels sluggish in BattleLog. I'm on a 580 GTX with 3GB VRAM and would only use "high" for sightseeing. For the game to be somewhat playable I set it to "medium" with a few things on "low". But I don't really care anymore, I'll be on a little detour on my way home from work to get a 780. :biggrin:
I haven't really played a lot so far. The map's structure is nice and even though the flags aren't really that far apart it feels pretty big due to the vertical element. The very same thing makes the map a camper/lamer/sniper fest though, which sucks big time. And this obsession with desaturation is getting ridiculous. BF3 was colorful compared to this. With everything gray and dusty the characters are extremely hard to spot in certain areas.
More feedback after playing with upgraded hardware.

So is this game going to look/run like crap on my gtx460? Id love a new video card but don't have the cash for it. BF3 had no issues for me on high.
Also, thanks for the help Boom, I'll probably just buy the game when it comes out and I'm ready to play and then get premium maybe for Christmas. I think I'll survive without the first expansion for a month or so which will give me time to play through the single player and then learn the base maps.

I actually meant that your character seems to be moving slower than before, nothing that really had to do with performance but I wasn't 100% sure at that time. Good choice man because this arrived at my place just two days ago:

So MrBoom's already close to 20 hours, I'm over 21 hours... a few days of beta left, let's see if we'll get another map for the weekend like we did with BF3.
Then it's back to two weeks of BF3 to keep the fingers moving. After that I'll be ready to start collecting all weapons and gadgets and unlocks anew. :biggrin:
Or just let me unlock my AUG (8210 kills on BF3) as soon as possible and I'll be happy.

Man two weeks fly by like a nothing. Hadn't realised the beta is almost over. I must say that the beta have had me more excited for the game than I initially thought actually, which is a nice surprise. I'm really looking forward to what they've done to the other maps in the vanilla game and all the new/old weapons, gadgets, new/old modes like how rush will play out on SoS for instance and everything else that ships along with the game. Holy cow...so much to look forward too!
Yea let's hope they treat us with a new map for the weekend! :metal
-
Well, it's over. It was fun. Had an incredible final night with several MVP rounds in a row. Looking forward to the final product.
It was kinda unacceptable though - even for an older code beta version - to be optimized only for Win8 with Win7 users experiencing lags, stutters, and as little as 40-60% of the framerates they should have had based on their hardware. The fact that they released patches to address this issue (which only made the performance worse on my machine) makes me expect and predict that the problem won't be anywhere near resolved on release.
But then again BF3 also took from beta until the end of the year until it was halfway stable and complete, so I guess we're somewhat used to it. :biggrin:
And I'll spend several hundred hours with the game anyway unlocking every little thing to satisfy my need to collect stuff, so a little tweaking and evolution won't hurt too much. Still it's something that shouldn't happen, at least not in that magnitude.

Glad you guys enjoyed. I played some bf3 the past couple days and am now really pumped for bf4. Now if only I could get a better video card

Look out for the Nvidia 600 series, you can get a good price on those these days. Or of course the new AMD cards have great value for a low price.
Anyway here's a very entertaining organized match by LevelBF:

I'm participating in a 5vs5 at the midnight release thing here in stockholm. I think I continually underestimate just how good people are at it even though I have a million hours logged on every map.
We had a 64 player press even thing yesterday that confirmed that much was true.
If we are giving out prizes it should be the easiest one you can win haha.

That's awesome. I must say the beta made me excited for the full launch, slightly more than I thought actually. :tup

So I splurged and bought the digital deluxe edition for $75 after tax and it is downloading now. I think the preload is pretty cool so you dont have to download and wait after the release although I wont be playing at midnight of the release. I got the digital deluxe because it comes with all the vehicle unlocks which for me is nice since after 165 hours of BF3, I was not even close to unlocking everything with the vehicles since Im pretty terrible with them. Obviously this gives me an advantage, but it gives me a feature of the game I was unable to unlock on my own before.

I'm finally downloading BF4, two days of learning how to build a PC and i'm finally done. Can't express the feeling I had just before I booted the PC, it's pretty hard to mess up but you still can't help thinking about all the diffrent thing's that potentially could go wrong and the money you invest in it to work. There's just alot of things to think about.
Ah well so far it runs like a charm.

There's just alot of things to think about.
Ah well so far it runs like a charm.
What are the specs?

Thx man, it's the freshest PC I invested in yet in terms of the most recent components. Yet it didn't hurt my wallet that much because I bought the components seperately during a 4 month period instead of buying everything at once like I used to do. The wait was killing me but it was worth it.

I think the game has crashed more times than rounds I've completed.

Pre-ordered the new Xbox One and BF4. Might go ahead and get the new Call of Duty just to have it and play it every once in a while. Hopefully this month hurries up so I can have this new generation stuff to play!
-
Just finished the campaign and it's was pretty good, nothing to spectacular but a fun playthrough. Must say the graphics is amazing, especially with everything on max.

After 2 days of playing Metro matches on the new DLC, I can safely say that 64 player Metro is still a lot of fun! Chaotic as all hell, but still fun

I won't play any of the new dlc(actually the game which I haven't played much at all the last couple of weeks)until the game's problems get fixed to a tolerable level. Regarding that, I can't wait to play Metro when I get it.
-
Other than the annoying sound bug that happens occasionally and funky tickrate/netcode I don't have a problem with BF4 as everyone else seem to have. I have mostly a smooth experience when I play. I do not play very much though.
-
There's been minor bugs here and there for me but nothing that has ruined the gameplay. I play daily.
-
Don't know if anyone cares anymore but Naval Strike DLC drops today and from what i've seen the maps looks gorgeous.
EDIT: Apparently the PC version has been delayed because of an issue. :facepalm:

Great, oh well, EA seems to have got it right with Titanfall since that game has been issue free for me. The Naval Strike DLC did seem like it could be fun.
-
Naval Strike is actually pretty fun. The graphic and level design is top notch. 64 is messy though so I mostly stick with 32 or less servers.
-
I've tried the new maps for a few minutes each. Pretty but so far they don't do anything for me. Also it's a shame that the awesome titan mode from BF2142 has been reduced to what is called carrier assault today, I expected much more. Well, maybe they'll get their shit together for BF5, see you in October 2015. :lol

Battlefield 4 on PS4 was a total snooze fest.

Battlefield 4 on PS4 was a total snooze fest.
Why? Just curious. I would have that BF4 on PS4 would be a good experience, as close to the PC.
For the new maps, I got the download yesterday but I chose to play Titanfall instead. Ill give the maps a try this weekend likely although now Im probably going to suck since Ive been in Titanfall mode for the past few weeks.
-
So I don't know if you guys have heard about the rumour of DICE hiding a giant shark (Megalodon) in some of their maps. The rumour have been circkling and entertained the BF community basically since release.
And now It actually have been found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-WladmrdNQ
-
So it was never in the based game.
-
Naw it's in the new DLC so I guess they decided to go along with the rumour. Pretty cool nevertheless.
-
Sure, but they could've just concentrated on fixing the lingering issues instead.

While that is cool and all, this:

I wasnt aware there was going to be a battlefield spinoff like this. Looks pretty cool. I first thought hardline was going to be another expansion pack. In a way, reminds me of counterstrike but with the BF engine and feel.

Wow things move rather quickly!

You can actually right now sign up for the BF:H beta and download it right at this moment. I think the server are a bit overloaded at the moment though, I tried myself but it's just freezes.
https://www.battlefield.com/hardline/beta
-
Well, I've requested Beta access. Let's see if a veteran of 1800+ hours of experience since BF2 gets a key. Then again I don't think Hardline is a very convincing concept as it's basically not much more than a modes mod and map pack of a game that still doesn't feel very complete eight months after its release. I'd love to see the BF series with a publisher that's taking their games, their developers, and their customers seriously. But obviously this will never happen with EA.
Greetings...

-
The respons i've heard from people that played from invites and the beta, it's a pretty positive attitude. Alot seem to feel that it very much feels like a BF game but with some refresing game modes and alternative game mechanics. It's a side step from the usual BF experience very much like the Bad Company series was.
I've sign up for the beta about 2 minutes after the announcement but have not gotten any invite yet. It's a random selection and your previous playtime dosen't matter.
-
I don't think we'll get one. The lower the playtime and number of Battlefields played, the higher the unwarranted hype praise EA loves. :biggrin:

Im definitely interested in that game, just dont care for playing betas. Ill wait for the "finished" product.

Agreed, although I had very little problems with BF4 that others said they had. Not sure why. I defintiely had some, but never anything to ruin the game. Also, Titanfall was pretty much flawless for me.
-
Guess I was wrong. An E-Mail this morning confirmed my access request to the Hardline Closed Beta. So either they give out a gazillion keys or I was lucky. I tend to believe in option one. :biggrin:
Let's see if I'm in the mood for some BF:H this weekend and I'll report back.

Yea I also got an invite yesterday. Haven't d-loaded yet. Probably do it this weekend.

After almost 11 months since I last touched BF3 I downloaded it and played a match today. I have been caught up in BF4 and really really tried getting comfortable with the game mechanics and everything. I do like the game and feel there's alot of improvment since BF3 but I can tell you that my first reaction picking up BF3 again was: Holy cow it's snappy! The feeling of you shooting and running is so much more satisfying than BF4. I had a blast the first match because everything just felt right. It felt like you had a chance in every gun fight and not getting shot instantly before you even touched the trigger. The amount of trade kills I get in BF4 is just insane. It might have gotten a bit better the last month.
I'm not sure if it's the netcode or just the game mechanic being diffrent. BF4 feels just so sluggish compared to BF3. I'm not trying to be nostalgic and say everything was better before but it really was a big diffrence. I always felt BF4 was a bit diffrent but couldn't really tell if it was the overall movment and gunplay being slower or the bad netcode that everyones talking about.
Going from BF4 to BF3 really opened my eyes on the difference.
-
I played the Hardline beta. I know it's gonna have a single player campaign (because apparently that's something people are interested in when they buy Battlefiend), but I really can't believe that's gonna be a full-price game.
-
The "Blood Money" mode is a great improvement over "Capture The Flag" which simply doesn't work in the 32 vs. 32 public server world without any teamplay. The multiple targets make it much more enjoyable in that context. Other than that the Hardline beta didn't impress me at all.
The movement and gunplay feels sluggish and not very precise. The colors in the BF:H city map are even more desaturated and bland than a BF4 desert warfare map. The surfaces and edges look flat and smooth without any character, almost Sci Fi shooter style. And maybe most important the map design of the BF:H example leaves much to be desired, just like many of the maps in BF4, favoring looks over playability and feel. And to close the case BF:H isn't much more than an expansion of a game that's still not quite there eight months after its release yet with the price tag of a full game.
I'm definitely not going to buy this one.
Greetings...

So I did a fun little test today. I just bought a new 250gb SSD to only have for games. In the past I only could have a couple of games installed before I run out of space. Now I can have alot of games installed to avoid having to re-install games every time I feel like picking up an old game.
So I installed both BF3 and BF4 and thought I could do a comparison.
I tried to choose a similar setup for both games. So I choose:
Map: Op. Metro (because I know that map on both versions inside and out).
Modes: Rush and Conquest L.
Difficulty: Normal
Class: Assault
Kit: AEK-971, Kobra, foregrip (BF4 vertical grip) and heavy barrel. (The AEK-971 was my favourite weapon in BF3)
Settings: Everything maxed out
FOV: 90 (If you haven't tried I highly recommend this option)
HUD: Lowest possible on both versions (Also a recommendation)
Having not played BF3 for 11 months it was a big diffrence. The gameplay felt alot slicker and snappy, a very nice overall feeling compared to BF4. What surprised me though was that after playing BF3 for a couple of days and then move over to BF4 the diffrence was not that big anymore. I could see that the visuals was improved more then i've seen before. The movement was not as sluggish as I thought, felt alot similar to BF3 actually. Three main things that I immediately felt in BF4 compared to BF3 though:
#1 The handling of the AEK-971 is completly diffrent than BF3. In BF3 I could control the recoil and in BF4 it was all over the place. I did learn to handle it though, just took some time to adjust.
#2 The bad netcode or whatever it is is so evident in BF4 compared to BF3. Everytime I run for cover in BF4 I die halfway behind the cover or I die even though I started shooting way before the enemy. In BF3 that almost never happens. Every gunfight seems like I have a fair chance to get behind cover and in gunfights the better shooter or the one shooting first most of the times wins. One thing i've noticed is that on every kill cam the enemy always keep on shooting on my body after i've died. When I kill someone I usually stops directly after the kill notation, I never keep on shooting after, atleast not that i'm aware of or do on purpose. I just feel that's a weird thing.
#3 Even though they opend up Metro and got rid of the choke points I still prefer the BF3 version. There's so many spots to keep track of on the B flag that the chances of you getting shot in the back is basically 100%. It's always the same way, you try to defend several spots and in the blink of an eye someone shots you in the back. If you have a team that works together and have a good defence on all the spots it could work but 99% of all the pub matches is never like that. You could argue that it's still better than the choke points in the BF3 version, i'm not gonna say anything about that because I do know how frustrating that was for the US team. I still feel though that the original version was more fun, atleast that's my point of view.
I will play some more, it was alot of fun to actually see the diffrence first hand.

Spam alert:
In my spare time, I've made my own battlefield killcam videos to go along with some music. My latest is below to Within Temptation's Iron. I got a bunch more if interested you can find them on youtube. I hadnt played in monthes, but picked it up over last weekends holiday since I had some free time and I really enjoyed playing again. I plan on playing more this weekend as well.

I don't know if anyone been following the Phantom Program that DICE started with BF4. With the latest DLC Dragon Teeths a third level of PP was introduced and with that comes a password that you have to crack in order to join the program and it's hidden with the latest DLC. So far no one have found it, here's some info:

Hmm can't remember what I mumbled about because the last DLC released today. Did I mean the CTE? Or was the DLC delayed?
Anyway I did play the new DLC last night after a couple of months of absences from BF4. Had a pretty good time, have to say I was pretty certain a AT-AT would come out on Rush on Op. Whiteout, that whole map felt like Hoth. Pretty damn cool especially when you considered they're doing SW: Battlefront.

So more content for BF4 have been confirmed. A producer at DICE LA tweeted that 9th dec. a new DLC will probably be revealed.

This is hilarious. I guess most people are aware of the insane amount of easter eggs that DICE put in BF4 like roaring dinos, hidden messages, megalodong, phantom project that occupied entire servers for people to find dogtags in order to complete the program. I even got kicked out of a server because I killed an admin that searched for the stupid dogtags. Anyway some players found a model of a shark in the files along with soundfiles with somekind of roaring sound. This all speculated in a new hidden easteregg and the community went berzerk in finding what it is. It all ended today when a dev released the following twitter message:
Please stop searching for the Paracel Storm monster. A decision has been made to take out all related assets because it shares a model
The amount of butthurt is real:

Personally, I dont give a shit about any of this. Make a working product and stop with the BS. And some people have way too much time on their hand to be complaining about this.... ok im done with my rant.
-
Yep they sure do.
-
Battlefield Hardline beta. Here's some of my thoughts on it.
Pros:
- Gunplay's a little bit easier, faster paced than BF4
- Map design is good
- Looks stunning
Cons:
- Servers are still complete ass, how the fuck EA/Dice don't get on this just blows me away. Lag is crazy and infuriating.
- As a result the gunplay takes a nosedive frequently, will unload entire clips into people's chests but lag makes that not happen on their end.
- Half the time the gunfire audio doesn't even happen so you just die and wonder what the fuck even happened as apparently somebody unloaded a shit ton of lead into you.
- Hotwire while entertaining, the entertainment value doesn't last long. Driving cars in circles and such gets old kind of fast.
- Heist is essentially Capture the Flag in a city setting, you just have to open a vault to get the "Flag" instead of it just being available.
- Apparently muscle cars and fucking police cars can't go up hill if you accidentally stop at any point.
Overall, no fucking way I'd pay $60 for this. The new modes are kind of entertaining but Heist is just a capture the flag but in an urban area mode, and hotwire gets old fast. 10 years ago this would have been a $15-20 expansion ala the Vietnam one from Bad Company 2.
And the servers are just dog shit.
Like seriously, half of my deaths, a guy parachutes down, I'm blasting him with gunfire for a few seconds, they look up finally and I'm dead.
Just died from a grenade launcher explosion from a launcher fired 2 feet away from me, enemy didn't die... Alrighty then, that makes maximum sense.
After dying like 3 times without ever hearing the gunfire that supposedly killed me, the connection was lost to the server. Neato Burrito.
Shotguns are OP.
-
I can agree with pretty much all of those points. The game is fun and I like the flow and feel of it, but hotwire is not very fun and I just don't see a whole lot of value in this game for $60. Maybe the single player campaign is worth it? Im not sure, but this is not a must buy for me. I'll keep playing BF4.
-
Seriously, I don't know how many times I die without ever hearing any gunfire. If this game seriously gets released in this state, jesus...
I also spawn in with the wrong load out way too frequently.
Some more thoughts:
I just find it off-putting how ridiculous it can be. Why the fuck do Bank robbers have fucking rocket launchers?
Like I know it's a game not everything has to be realistic but don't make it about cops vs robbers if you're going to still have heavy military weaponry. Make the gear match the setting.
Dear god the servers are seriously a nightmare. I get slingshotted for days when I even try to drive.
I've gathered enough opinions about this, I think I'll just delete it and go back to BF4..
-
So I tried some BF3 after about 1 year hiatus, it was fun. It's just so much snappier than BF4. Have to say it's a bit nostalgic though, man I played that game so freakin much during beta, the vanilla game and the DLCs so it was a bit sad coming back and finding alot of servers empty. There's still servers up though that's fairly populated.
-
Welp haven't played in ages, lost interest with BF4. Anyway, if anyones interested in the future for BF, May 6th is the day:

Sweet, I am very interested in a new Battlefield game.
-
I'm so over the FPS genre. I'm trying to think how they could draw me back in, and I don't think they can. The only game I'm really looking forward to these days is Red Dead Remption's next installment.
-
The Battlefield games are the only FPS I seem to play anymore, be it BF4 or Star Wars Battlefront. The game play, graphics, and vehicles/large maps are what make it stand out to me vs. other FPS. I got the newest halo and the campaign was great, but I don't find the multiplayer near as fun as a BF game.

Battlefield World Premiere Teaser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbcMzWWRChQ)

Don't know if it's fake or not but things are pointing to a WW1 game.

I mean Triplanes vs Zeppelins vs Horses vs Tanks and swords and armor and antitank rifles and the world and his wife, it's so crazy I kind of like it. Could be alot of fun, I guess it all depends on how unrealistic they're prepared to go. I don't wan't a million gadgets and attachments for the weapons given WW1 was mostly fought with bolt action rifles and ironsight.

Yea, definitely a lot going on, but it looks fun and the graphics look amazing, sort of like Star Wars Battlefront, one of those clips looked exactly like that game which is a good thing in terms of graphics. This will likely be a pre-order for me.
-
Honestly I won't pre-order until I see some proper gameplay. I'm intrigued by the idea though and it looks to be fun. I don't know if you played Verdun but it's a WW1 game and it's pretty hardcore and brutal. I love it because it's trying to be as authentic as possible so you basically only have bolt action weapons with ironsight and it's one shot kill. So when you're facing an enemy it's basically, if you miss the first shot you're most likely dead but that's what makes it so intense and immersive. Hopefully BF1 will capture some of that.
-
Personally, I don't like too realistic. I'm more of a fan of BF3/4 style of play, I'd imagine it's very similar or maybe the same. I even enjoyed Star Wars BF (although it was very limited) but in terms of gameplay, I liked it. Unless there is some news of changes, I don't see a drastic change here. They could add a "hardcore" type mode, which is cool. But who knows, with horses and shovels, maybe this game will be much more different than the others. I'm not pre-ordering anytime soon either, but I likely will to be able to play earlier and get the season pass too. Based on my history of BF3/4 I will put over 100 hours into it and play all of the DLC maps. Then again, this is EA and they could totally fuck this up and fuck me over, but for a game I love like BF I'd likely take that risk.

So last night I joined Origin Access. For 5 bucks it allowed me to play the trial version of BF1 already. It includes the first two single player missions and 10 hours of multiplayer all of which carries over to the game if you buy. You also get 10% off the origin store... so for 5 bucks I saved 15 on the ultimate edition of the game. So it actually saved me money and I am able to play the game. Due to the download, I only got to play the opening scene of the game and... :omg: it's awesome. :metal
-
Oh man, that first mission is AWESOME.
I think this single player has potential to be some of the most fun FPS moments ever.
It's all based on real stories.

This is what the first set of missions is based on. So much fun to play and then read about it after. Tomorrow is when the full game unlocks to early enlisters so I can proceed further on the single player.

Game looks insane. Can't wait.
Picking this up at GameStop today after work. :2metal:

I haven't been much into 1PSs for ages. Seems all the focus is on multiplayer with the SP being an afterthought. The Wired review of BF1 really makes me want to play it, though.

Battlefield 1 is a great game but the war stories campaign is way too short. I was expecting a lot more. Still very cool and worth getting.

While I'm loving this game and the war stories are awesome...

Is a good enough reason to hold off until it's a bit cheaper if you are looking at this game for the single player. Multiplayer is still where you get the moneys worth.
-
Yeah, need to check out multiplayer for sure.
-
Haven't finished the campaign yet but I enjoy it so far especially the idea of telling small stories from the war instead of one single story arc. I think that works great and it opens up for all kinds of future DLCs with new war stories for SP along with MP maps following the same theme. As for the sp gameplay it's not very challenging so far but I know that's hard to balance. I also enjoy the MP but there's definitely room for improvements. The annoying vehicle bug that the origin overlay causes which makes you unable to aim when you enter a vehicle for example. >:( Or not being able to join friends matches even though your in the same group. Small things that i'm sure will be fixed, still annoying though.
The new Operations mode is nice.
-
Returned to BF4 a couple of days ago and it's been fun, not many active servers though. There's a few of the new maps I never played so those were fun too discover.
-
So Battlefield 5 will be revealed on May 23rd.
https://www.ea.com/neverbethesame
My hype is pretty mellow at this point, I still love BF as a series but BF1 felt too casual, arcady and a step back from previous games.
The only thing that I feel is a bit interesting is that apparently from some sources (https://youtu.be/d5om0K-9_hM?t=1m12s) that have inside information, the game is going to change alot from previous games which of course could be either bad or good.
So yea we'll see, every new BF reveal is always exciting either way! :corn
-
Im excited. It should have a Battle Royale mode (might not at release though) which I've been wanting to try on the frostbite engine. Even without it, I love the BF games. I'd say I kind of agree that BF1 wasn't as good as BF4 or BF3.

That would be interesting even though i'm a bit tired of the whole BR explosion.

Well they aren't basing the game around this mode so that's good, just a new addition to go along with the current craze, but this is the one game I really wanted to try this mode. I feel it has the potential to make it the best game to play this type of mode.
-
Even though i'm not that hyped for the actual game i'm still gonna watch the live stream. The best part about the reveal live stream for BF1 was seeing Snoop Dog smokin a joint while trying to figure out the game.
Starting in 20mins.

So BF reveal next week! I mean my interest in BF is low these days and have been for many years now but.....I can't help feel a little bit curious on what DICE are cooking over there in Stockholm.
-
I'm excited because I hope they either put a fork into Warzone OR they make COD actually improve the game on the next iteration which will likely line up with this release. Warzone needs competition IMO.
Saw this meme on reddit today and I know basically all my COD friends feel the same way:
(https://i.redd.it/lga1rn4m0u271.jpg)
Having said that, I completely fell off the BF bandwagon with BF5. It just wasn't interesting IMO. Seems like it's been a downward trend since BF3 (my favorite BF) so I really do hope with all this time since last release that they really do something special to move the brand back into being a top FPS game and hopefully a top BR mode to compete and dethrone Warzone.
-

Apparently the general manager for COD has joined DICE to be GM for the next Battlefield so something along those lines may happen. :lol
Also DICE has released some cryptic message to diffrent streamers and content creators and from what it looks like it may be a set in the future so some are suggesting a sequel or something related to Battlefield 2142.

Just as long as it's not in the past. I feel like the past era FPS games have gotten really stale.
-
The other day there was an offer for free BF 4 on PC, I thought cool, I should try it out since I loved BF 3 back in the day. I apparently couldn't add the game to my library because I already had it :|
I really need to clear my backlog of games to play.

Yea I feel ya, kinda have the same problem. Lots of games on steam i've never even installed. :lol
I hope that since all Battlefield games now are on steam I hope the new one will be available on day one on steam and other services. #Exclusivitysucks

Hey EFX, do you still work at DICE? Any juicy intel you can offer? :biggrin:

Battlefield 2042 Official Reveal Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASzOzrB-a9E)
Looks epic but since it's a cinematic i'll just wait for the gameplay reveal on sunday before I unzip my pants.

Yeah totally agree. Video is pretty cool, but doesnt really get me too excited without gameplay footage or more info on modes and whatnot. Being slightly in the future is pretty cool, the weather effects seem like they could be cool. But who knows until you see gameplay. An open beta coming up soon seems something to look forward to though.

I mean it's always the same during this time before a launch, people get overly excited for a cinematic and brand it "the game of the century" before actually seeing any type of gameplay. :lol
Apparently there's ton of info about the multiplayer though but I haven't dissected anything myself.
-
I saw this is going to be multiplayer only and 128 player maps.

Honestly while I always enjoyed the campaigns in BF for what they are they always felt like a completly diffrent way of playing a battlefield game compared to MP. So I guess it's just better for them to focus on MP. I feel the talk about 128 players has been going on for 10 years or something. :lol

Yeah, I agree. I've historically always enjoyed the single player campaign from BF/COD games, but the last few games I just didn't even bother because it starts to get all samey and in the end, we all know we are buying/playing the game for the multiplayer experience. I think I've finally come to the point where no single player doesn't have a negative impact on my feelings towards these games.
Also, I want to know more about the BR mode. That's where they will really make their money IMO.
-
Problem with BF campaigns is that they very rarely took advantage of any strengths of the multiplayer, so in the end you ended up with a campaign that was like COD, but worse.
In a way I am glad they are focusing on the multiplayer, but the value proposition of the $70 package is now far less. Can't say I am super excited by the setting either. Give me 2143 dammit!
-
Hey EFX, do you still work at DICE? Any juicy intel you can offer? :biggrin:
Haha, haven't posted in forever but I'm glad I saw this. So happy this is finally out there, more stuff coming soon. It's extra special for me as this one has been made entirely from home. Haven't seen the office in well over a year so it's been an interesting journey but getting this trailer out today feels like total therapy :)

I read the BR mode won't be out for a few months after release. Do you know why this is? As a warzone player this upsets me because it means I likely won't be putting Warzone down until 2022 :(
Either way, I'm glad you are getting to see the joys of your work. The trailer looked good and there's so much potential here.
-
That trailer looked great! sad that it's MP only. I've been gaming for ages on the PC but man I still don't care for MP at all, I'm all about the single-player mode and the campaigns.

Yea I can imagine it's a relief after this crazy time. It has to have been a logistical nightmare to suddenly switch directing everyone from home. Also I guess depending on who you ask boring to not meet your collegues in the same way.
-
Thank you guys again for the nice compliments, hope you'll be understanding that I can't comment on design decisions at this point. Hopefully there'll be more official word soon on things :)
And yeah, I miss my coworkers as many of them are my friends and any creative work gets a bit dulled sitting doing it at home :/
-
I can imagine working from home is very different for such large projects with many parts forming a whole. I hope the game will be amazing!
I think it is not that big of a deal that Battlefield by Dice does not have a singleplayer. I personally think there has not been a worthwhile significant campaign in many years (warstories were nice, but obviously not the focus of the overall package). And of all the online shooter multiplayer modes, I like Battlefield the best.
As I am more of a singleplayer guy, I do wish that someday maybe a big standalone singleplayer game will be made using the tech/visuals and gameplay of the Battlefield/Battlefront games, because it is very good. Battlefront 2 and Battlefield 1 (the ones I play with friends every now and then) look and play amazing, no matter the platform it's on. Some seriously impressive stuff.
On a sidenote, CoD is different for me, most campaigns are somewhat short but have big production values and feature significant actors and high quality cinematics. Ironically the least favoured CoD, Infinite Warfare, had in my opinion an awesome campaign with heavy season 1 The Expanse vibes (with actual space combat and zero gravity shootouts). Black Ops 4 was thus a big dissapointment for me.

I'm surprised we don't have more massive-scale online shooters yet. There was a game on PS3 called MAG that had 256 person lobbies. The maps were enormous.

I agree about the COD campaigns being fun because of the "big production values" but even then, I didn't even bother to play Cold Wars because the game itself was just terrible IMO. I wish I never bought it. It was the only game I've bought in about a year now surprisingly. That's because Warzone (which runs on the Modern Warfare engine) is still a better FPS experience. I think most COD fans are just itching for a better experience now after over a year with Warzone and the game is still plagued with issues.

My opinion, I think the massive scales add some really cool aspects, but also sometimes take away from others. My understanding was that BF could support 128 players for a long time now but apparently from testing it wasn't more fun or a better experience. I keep bringing up Warzone, but I can't help but think the 150 player BR game is sometimes "too much" as in, it's awesome the game can support such a large scale but sometimes the smaller mode of 40 players can end up being more fun. It's hard to say, especially because Conquest is much different than BR.
-
Have to say Battlefield Portals could be something absolutely massive for the community. It's sounds really cool I just hope the ground mechanics like gunplay in BF2042 is solid so that dosen't ruin the overall experience.

I have found memories in BF3 playing 4v4, 8v8 or 16v16 on large maps, that was so much fun.

Portals could be really fun and interesting.

Yea I agree, it seems like just a big love letter to the communty. I just wished Damavand Peak was one of the maps, I used to play that map alot.

Maybe eventually, it definitely does come off as a big thank you to the community. Also kind of reminds me of Halo forge which lead to a lot of fun custom games.

Anyone else jumping into the beta?
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FA-6fM0VIAkot9Z?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)
I loaded it last night and looking forward to checking it out after work today
-
I was about to but I haven't pre-ordered it so I have to wait until friday.
-
I downloaded it only to realize I didn't pre-order so I can't play until the weekend. I'm eager to give it a shot and hear your thoughts cram.
-
I downloaded the beta last night but didn't realize you needed to preorder it to play. Waste of a 20 gb download, should have read more carefully.
-
Hold onto it, the public beta starts October 8.
-
It's such a sneaky way to get people to pre-order.
-
I will admit, I pre-ordered just to be able to play not only the beta early, but the full game early. It's really the only selling point to me for pre-purchase. I figure'd I'd be buying it anyway so might as well take advantage.
As for the beta, I played for like 4 hours last night. It's SO buggy. Like really badly buggy. Mostly everything in the sky you see is glitchy specifically the parachutes. I got so many easy kills because even though players had landed on the ground, I could still see their parachutes hovering above them (even through ceilings and walls).
The sound kind of sucks. Maybe I'm used to COD which is super loud, but this game is so quiet which is surprising for how much action is going on. Definitely needs improvement in this area.
The graphics are not too impressive and overall performance I would say is "bad".
Having said that, I understand this is an earlier build from months ago and most of this stuff has likely been fixed. So I don't want to be too negative regarding bugs with a beta. Also it seems squads are limited to 4 people and other friends can't join the same match even on a different squad. Hopefully that's not the case in the main game as it wasn't in previous Battlefields. My group of gamer friends is more than 4 who want to play this so it sucked last night that some had to sit out.
Onto the good stuff... the gun play is great. It really feels good shooting the guns and controlling the recoil. I struggled quite a bit in my first hour playing but by hour 3 I was slaying people and it felt great. Being able to switch attachments on the fly is new and interesting. The robot dog is awesome, it was really fun running along the hillside with my squad (4 of us) and a dog and just taking out anyone who was in our path. The map is pretty cool. It's large and diverse. It feels like BF4 in some ways being more modern. (this is great as someone who wasn't a fan of the older weapons from BF5 and BF1).
Now the Tornado is something else. That was fun, exciting, seemingly random and the animations of the lightning strikes is really cool. I think the tornado was the most fun I had in this game. I feel you'll see a lot of streamers getting really cool clips of action from the tornado. There's a lot of potential for crazy moments. Also, out of all the issues I mentioned, it seemed the Tornado was actually pretty smooth. Didn't create crazy lag or anything, it looked great. The effect on gameplay was cool. We captured a point with the help of the tornado. It creates strategy in a way. The other major map change on this one map that's in the beta is the rocket. I saw in someone's video it blew up, but in the games I played it either did nothing or it shot straight into the air with all sorts of smoke on ground level. Pretty cool!
Oh and the grappling and ropes are a new feature that adds a lot to the movement aspect of the game. Being able to shoot while using the ropes is awesome too. Same with being able to shoot while parachuting. This is going to make for a lot of fun clips.
I captured lots of good footage, but I only posted one clip so far, it's riding the elevator which is super buggy but funny https://twitter.com/Cramx3/status/1445958247152852992 (https://twitter.com/Cramx3/status/1445958247152852992)

If you guys want a break from serious gaming the Epic store has a PC building simulator for free

-
It seemed like all the performance issues I had from day 1 were gone last night. Also, there was not a single in game event (tornado or rocket launch) in any of the games I played last night which makes me wonder if it may be related to that? Like I know that stuffs random, but it happened enough in my first day playing to make me wonder if they turned it off or something yesterday. Just speculation. I'm having a lot of fun though. Can't wait to get the full game with all the maps, modes, and weapons and having my leveling up be legit.
-
Tried some BF2042 today. Haven't played a BF game in years or actually that kind of FPS in general. Sadly after an hour I felt I had enough, I don't know, that kind of chaotic gameplay just dosen't tick with me anymore. I looved BF3 back in the day and played that like crazy. This feels like a mix between a bunch of todays most popular games instead of being what it used to be. Maybe I should play with a fresh mind tomorrow. :-\
-
Seems a lot of old school BF players didn't like the way they integrated some new things into the game like the sliding and grappling which makes the movement feel more like COD or Apex Legends. For me, I thought it was a nice addition to keep the gameplay and gunplay feeling fresh. I probably put 20 hours into the game over the last 4 days. I even managed to grapple and somehow get glitched to be able to stand on the rocket after it blasted off :lol https://twitter.com/Cramx3/status/1446870248230109185 (https://twitter.com/Cramx3/status/1446870248230109185)
Game is a huge W IMO. I think every single one of my friends who tried it really had fun. Although, I think we are all a bit burnt out of that same map now though. Luckily, there's so much more content in the game when it releases. Going to be a long month wait.
I'm really curious about Hazard zone though. My biggest concern right now is that conquest mode is not going to keep interest in the game far into 2022. They need a competitive mode that gets people excited. If it's not a BR mode (it doesn't appear to be) then it's got to be a new spin off mode that keeps people engaged and interested to want to keep playing for the long term. I would say there is some potential for that with the Portal mode, but that's also a bit undetermined at this point.
