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??

In BF3 you can only talk to friends that you add through battlelog. Now you can talk directly to your squad without having to add anyone.

It was janky and awful. Thankfully I grouped up with some guys on teamspeak pretty quickly.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #918 on:** June 13, 2013, 07:56:47 PM »

I mean that BF4 has VOIP!

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #919 on:** June 14, 2013, 01:29:37 AM »

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.

Of course there's alot of things that could explain that.

EDIT: Actually it was two AMDs 7970 which makes me a bit happier.

New map, new game mode:

Battlefield 4: Official "Paracel Storm" Multiplayer Trailer

Also Op. Metro, Op. Firestorm, Gulf Of Oman and Caspian Border will return in the Second Assault DLC.

antigoon · « **Reply #923 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:42:19 AM »

fuck that looks good

Dimitrius · « **Reply #924 on:** August 20, 2013, 01:39:05 PM »

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.

ResultsMayVary · « **Reply #925 on:** August 20, 2013, 01:45:06 PM »

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.

Oman, Firestorm, and Metro are all pretty sucky.

Metro and Oman are awesome! Firestorm sucks though.

Says the 32 players max 360 player

Dimitrius · « **Reply #930 on:** August 20, 2013, 04:03:35 PM »

I don't play it on 360

I picked it up for PC on that Humble Origin Bundle. It was still awesome.

I'm leaning towards getting a PS4 instead of an Xbox One this time around.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #934 on:** August 21, 2013, 01:55:12 PM »

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

Dimitrius · « **Reply #935 on:** August 21, 2013, 03:35:57 PM »

Titan Fall looks insane!

antigoon · « **Reply #936 on:** August 21, 2013, 04:15:45 PM »

shee, i'm 'bout to cancel my ps4 preorder.

God damn, this will be a hard decision...

Dark Castle · « **Reply #938 on:** August 21, 2013, 05:52:08 PM »

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.

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.

antigoon · « **Reply #941 on:** August 22, 2013, 09:36:36 AM »

also - real talk. Every time someone says Levolution a small child dies.

Dimitrius · « **Reply #942 on:** August 22, 2013, 09:39:31 AM »

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

antigoon · « **Reply #944 on:** August 22, 2013, 11:18:53 AM »

That was always my impression of PC gaming until I built a proper rig and since I haven't really had any problems.
