Re: Battlefield 4

No worries man, just signup when the time comes when everyhting gets going and enjoy the ride. Hell, we even allow players like Tmagic in

Silly jokes aside, most were casual among us and are great group of guys and no need to worry about skill levels, it's going to be awesome running with these OSers.

How would I go about signing up? Pretty sure this isn't the thread for it lmao!

I hope so, I have a mic but so few people on MAG do, and if they do they're typically japanese and in a clan of 25... lol

I can't wait to see an upgraded/improved Battlelog. That site is really cool for managing Clans/Platoons. Hopefully this year they actually imput a Battle system to make it easier for everyone.

We had a cool PS3 Clan set up last year. We had two seperate platoons. One for general OS play and one for competitive play. It worked out well because some people like to play together, but don't want to commit or play competitively.

Then once activity died down, it was reconstructed to form one competitive clan called "Maine Retribution". Those were Good times...

The majority of the time we were playing fun games anyways. It's not worth playing if you can't have fun.

Whats the difference between general play and competitive play? I consider myself quite competitive so can't discern too easily lol

You're right though, although I approach things with the mentality that if its not competitive, it isn't fun

Into the gauntlet you go!

You must prove your worth maggot!

That I will lmao!

I have done some reading about classes and watched the video in this thread... I think I will be the engineer class or the assault class. I like doing my bit for the team and being the medic or engineer is often ignored in online games, so I have no problem being the guy to do that!

Re: Battlefield 4

Man, I was going to hold off on getting any next-gen console, but having a hard time now. All this excitement for BF4 has me thinking about a PS4. Playing BF3 with the OS peeps was incredibly fun back when I was still playing.

There is still a least one of us who's tags you don't possess. Hmmm...

Why you little...

STILL pissed about that tree man.

I owe you.

Re: Battlefield 4

Had I had a dollar for every tag I was stripped, for every missinterpretation I committed of the directions my OS fellows gave me on BF3, I would be in no need to look for a job to buy the PS4 ... I would even buy an XBONE and a WiiU as well.

So sorry, was a mix of low stick skills, bad cod habbits, damaged mic and not having english as native language ... anyways, really looking forward to play with/vs you guys, the right way, on the PS4.

Game Informer: Everything We Know About Battlefield 4 Multiplayer

At the EA booth I jumped into a 64-player conquest battle in the Siege at Shanghai map. After playing through a couple rounds and speaking with executive producer Patrick Bach, here is what I learned.

• The Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC versions each support 64-player maps and run at a solid 60 frames per second. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, however, are still limited to 24-players per match and 30 frames per second.
• Squads can now include five soldiers instead of just four.
• Given the larger squad size, Squad Deathmatch mode now includes more competitors.
• Like Battlefield 3, the soldier classes you can play as are assault, engineer, recon, and support. All classes now have more shared weapons so players have more versatility when selecting their loadout.
• Each class and weapon has a deeper persistance tree than previous Battlefield games.
• DICE is changing how specializations work. It won't go into the finer details, but the developer is creating a system where you and your squad can bump up your specializations as you play if you are doing well.
• Gun and player customization are being broadened. You can now have multiple sights on your weapons and add optical magnifiers on the fly.

• Vehicle progression is deeper as well.
• DICE has two new game modes it plans to reveal in the near future, and it plans to drop a few modes that were featured in Battlefield 3. The confirmed modes thus far are squad deathmatch, conquest, rush, and team deathmatch.
• Hardcore mode is returning.
• The crazy wave technology featured in the E3 single-player demo is also coming to multiplayer. All the wave data is being pushed over the network, which means that every player will have the same sea experience at the same time.

• Given the increased focus on naval combat, DICE is making sure you aren't a sitting duck if you lose your sea vessel or parachute into a body of water. Soldiers can now swim sprint, use sidearms in the water, hit the crounch button to dive underneath the surface of the water, and even deploy C4 to take out boats.
• Players can rent their own Battlefield 4 servers on consoles from day one, and DICE plans to give them more server modifiers than were available in Battlefield 4.
• DICE knows the destruction in BF3 was disappointing so destructibility is coming back in a major way. Expect to see the microdestruction introduced in the Close Quarters map pack, plus large-scale destruction like the crumbling skyscraper in the E3 demo.

• You won't be able to completely flatten urban areas, which is a design choice rather than a technical limitation.
• Like Titanfall, DICE is using a proprietary matchmaking service instead of using the Xbox One native service.
• DICE is also incorporating a skill level system on top of your player rank to help match you with players of a similar ability. You can set your rented server to only accept players of a certain ability.
• DICE learned its lesson with Battlefield 3, and plans to keep a healthy amount of DICE sponsored servers for people who don't want to deal with the quirky rented servers.
• Rather than build its own battle recorder, however, DICE plans to use the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 recorders.
• Battlefield 4 also includes a spectator mode.
• Given the difficult learning curve for some of the more powerful vehicles like jets and helicopters, DICE is including a practice mode or tutorial system of sorts so you can learn the tricks of the trade without hurting your team in a ranked match.
• Battlelog is being revamped to be more directly integrated into the game and to give console players the same experience as the PC version. DICE wants the console players to have the ALT-TAB experience just like PC players, so you can check your stats at any time.
• You can alter your loadout directly from the Battlelog app so it will be ready for you when you jump into a match.

Took long enough DICE.

Re: Battlefield 4

I like the practice mode and don't at the same time. I hate when people pilot choppers when they shouldn't, but that's part of the struggle.

I had to learn the hard way.

Re: Battlefield 4

The release date on PS4 is now October 29, 2013 (Amazon just notified me as such). Now I have a feeling the PS4 won't actually be out then, but it might give some indication as to when the PS4 will release--at least I hope so.

It would be strange to have a PS4 game in my hands yet no system to play it on.

Hey, I said that half-jokingly

I got the assignment completed about an hour after that.
