Re: Battlefield 4

Do we know when custom servers will be available. I'd love to have all the maps in a server instead of specific DLC servers. And for the rotation to be mixed up.

Like I was telling you before, this is my first go round in BF.

Leads to my question, how do custom servers work and are we going to have them eventually?

You choose how many days you can own an server (less days = less money and more days = more money) and you can choose different combinations of gamemode/maps you want.

As for your second question, DICE hasn't announced the date of the servers, but IMO it should come around the summer/fall time.

Re: Battlefield 4

Looks as though I'll have to play me some Assassins Creed for those 2 weeks since I probably won't be getting premium.

I played the living daylights outta these maps on BF3,and quite honestly the only maps I would even remotely be interested would be Caspian and Oman....IMO...we already have our Operation Metro in Operation Locker,and I never could stand Operation Crapstorm.

So for those that haven't experienced these maps yet,have fun and enjoy...myself? I'll wait and see what the next wave of DLC brings.

Re: Battlefield 4

Don't you think this is the last battlefield to be made for current gen? I just can't see current gen keeping up with future battlefields and also probably better off for them to put all their resources into making a game that works great for ps4/xbox one.

Most likely, but it's up to both Microsoft and Sony to pull the plug on the 360/PS3 versions.

Honestly, for me....BF3 took a downward turn with rentable/custom servers. There was some strange policing going on at times, as the owner (if he's playing) can boot whomever, whenever, for any or no reason. This can be true for both a player that is having a struggle, or a player who is playing out of his mind.

Also, some owners would pump up the ticket counts to extremely high levels, meaning you are stuck on one map for an hour or more at times. Or they would place specific rules such as no explosives, no shotties, etc.

I'm fine with the freedom for those who love to setup their own server parameters.... but I always had a harder time just finding a GAME to jump into as the rented servers were everywhere. No more quick match, as you would likely end up in a rented with God-knows-what rules. I had to resort to searching for servers manually for games. Some people even disguised their servers as DICE normal servers, which really irked me.

I know I'm being a sod, but I just like Dice's servers, not the rented ones. Just my opinion but I hope they don't bring those back for BF4. Go ahead and just offer some 'mixed' servers with original maps + DLC maps.

I'm lazy. When rented servers came out I quit playing because finding a regular server was just annoying. It turned me off from the game and I've been an avid BF fan since the original release on console.

I couldn't agree more,playing a 1000+ ticket of Metro is not my idea of fun.

I guess it's fun for those that want to "stat pad" and all,but I do need some variety,or I get bored quick....and looking at any specific map for an hour bores me to tears.

I too hope it's not a p.i.t.a to find regular Dice servers,because as you mentioned Dan,the rules and the "badmins" on these rented servers can become a complete joke.

Battlefield 4

Rented servers were the best feature of bf3 for me. Finally consoles were given the ability. I'm sick of crappy generic servers with no admins and randoms destroying a hardcore game. I also don't want to play every map in the same cycle. Find a good server, and build a community.

I've also been playing BF since the series started on PC so I was really missing it.

Re: Battlefield 4

I also liked the rented servers. Yes I was no longer able to really use quick game, but I liked looking through the servers and favoriting servers I really liked. There were some great custom rush servers on BF3 that had one round per map so it kept things fresh for me. Also I liked that people could include the best maps from all the various DLC's into their playlist. I have barely played China Rising because if pick a server with those maps currently it will only rotate between those 4 maps. Definitely looking forward to Second Assault and I guess it is time for me to go ahead and get premium for BF4.

Re: Battlefield 4

Rented servers = good thing

Also, I have made a HUGE mistake...

Re: Battlefield 4

Naval Strike DLC is looking really cool. They added a similar game mode from 2142 (or w.e that game was called)

I LOVED custom servers. I used to stay in them 300 ticket TDM rooms...main reason i dont play TDM now. 100 tickets is just too short.

but with these maps i doubt it will matter. They flat out suck but wouldnt mind playing a 300 ticket Locker TDM.
