Re: Battlefield 4

I have no idea what it is with my shooting, but I can't hit anything. I had a round last night in TDM and I went 1-15. I swear I was aiming right at guys and hardly any hit detections.

Yikes.....


I'm still trying out guns but so far the AK-12 >>>

the AEK is complete trash now in this game and that was my go to gun

Re: Battlefield 4

Caspian and Firestorm were fun for tanks, especially in Conquest.

All told, my faves were Metro, Seine and Grand Bazaar.

Did have some memorable rounds at Kharg and Damavand too.

Really, all the maps were likeable for me to some degree, even Tehran Highway. BF3 had a lot of great design, it'll go down as a classic like COD4 (at least as far as maps go).

BF4 has it's work cut out for it.

Re: Battlefield 4

I thought the Bad Company 2 maps were better than the BF3 maps.

From what I've seen of the BF4 maps in next gen I think I'll like them much better.

Re: Battlefield 4

Just got my code for China rising from my Amazon BF4 PS4 bundle preorder. Doesn't do me much good though. 10 more days....

I wonder where my code is for PS3 version? I didn't even think about that.

They all look great until you actually play them...I dont think its so much the graphics (at least on the pc version ) but the designs are not that great imo.


Im hoping the larger player count may change things but idk i may just be reaching. I couldnt stand BC2 maps...I constantly ran into sinpefests on that game . Hated it but i know may LOVED that game

Re: Battlefield 4

Operation Lockers 64 players on Conquest or TDM will change some minds. There are a lot of firefights where its basically your team shooting down the hall against their team.

Operation Locker 64 player rush is a different story. Its chokepoint city. With the new grenade types good luck getting in, if you don't get to it quickly. Reminds of the first set of MCOMs on Seine and Grand Bazaar.

Overall the 64 player maps are impressive. But if a team of snipers annoy you all on 24 player maps wait until 64 players. Nothing like being in a match where there are 20-30 snipers total. With all the foliage the bush wookies are back minus the ghillie.

Re: Battlefield 4

I think COD has done the biggest favor to Battlefield in this department. A lot of randoms that completely ignore strategy and objective based gameplay pick up COD and while there always will be players that don't play with strategy or an objective in mind it seems like more of them flock to COD so Battlefield plays well even if you jump on a map with a bunch of randoms. I have one guy on my friends list that I play Battlefield with and we usually just jump around playing with random people but most of the time I just play solo and there is no issue.

I get extremely annoyed when im in public matches and 95% of the time this happens to me and call of duty online has not changed at least not for the better.

Battlefield 4 requires team work i just love watching gameplay of it

From International Business Times:
'Battlefield 4' Bugs: EA DICE Explains 'BF4' Fixes In-Depth; Client And Server Patches Underway To Remedy Bug-Ridden Release

Spoiler

After several bugs, crashes and glitches marred the release week of “Battlefield 4,” Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) and its Swedish development team at DICE responded to players with a detailed post about their current status in fixing the numerous problems encountered by players “Battlefield 4.”

EA DICE’s initial response after “Battlefield 4’s” release left little information as to what bugs were being worked on, outside of a few issues, such as a red screen of death (RSOD) crash which occurred for users of AMD (NYSE:AMD) graphics cards between matches of “BF4” and the inability to join server queues. According to EA DICE’s initial response, the former problem was addressed promptly with the latest Catalyst beta driver released by AMD, 13.11 Beta8 for Windows.

After much vocal anger from “BF4” players, EA DICE responded to players through its Battlelog community with a highly detailed post explaining known issues with “Battlefield 4” along with their current status in addressing individual issues across each game platform.

In the post, EA DICE explains that many of the game crashes and freezes are being tackled via server side patches, which have been rolled out throughout the weekend. Throughout the weekend, “Battlefield 4” gameplay was briefly interrupted as the “BF4” server patches were rolled out.

On Monday, EA DICE rolled out an additional “Battlefield 4” server patch, R6, which was released to address common server crashes.

Some of the problems currently marked as “fixed” by EA DICE include a weapon magazine bug that caused reload settings to mimic hardcore server settings, Xbox 360 mission bugs and problems with resetting stats, a feature of “Battlefield 4 Premium.”

According to the post, EA DICE is still currently investigating problems with lost multiplayer progress, single-player save file corruption and promotional Battlepack items not appearing in-game or on Battlelog.

Regarding “Battlefield 4” crashes and freezes across the PC, Sony (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 3 and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Xbox 360, EA DICE explains:

“Players on all formats have been experiencing game crashes and freezes while playing. We have logs of the most frequently occurring client crashes, and we are actively working to obliterate the cause of these crashes in upcoming updates.

"Note that crashes come in different types, and therefore this is technically not one single issue. There are two kinds of crashes and two types of updates that can address them: server-side updates that we can release on the fly (four of these have already been released since launch), and game client updates that require more in-depth testing and certification before they can go live.

"We have found and eliminated some of the server-side crashes on PC in the latest server update (version R4) that went live November 1. There is also a planned client update on PC in the near future where we are aiming to eliminate as many of the client-related crashes as possible.”

EA DICE also added that it is currently working on a client-side PC patch which should be released soon. Unlike the release day patch for “Battlefield 4,” they expect to release patch notes once they are finalized.

“The main focus is to fix as many crashes as possible, starting with the issues affecting a large number of players. We will update you once we are ready to release new server updates. We are currently working on server update #5, with four being released so far.”

Included on the pending “BF4” patch release is also a fix for the number of audio bugs which have left players either missing sound or hearing massive distortion while trying to play “Battlefield 4.”

While some players of “BF4” appreciated the response by EA DICE, many player comments held a sentiment questioning why the release of “Battlefield 4” was so bug-ridden in the first place. In the meantime, EA DICE recommends that "BF4" players continue to submit problems experienced during gameplay to its EA Answer HQ support site.

It is yet to be seen whether or not the same number of bugs and issues will be present upon the release of “Battlefield 4” alongside next-gen consoles such as the Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) on Nov. 12 in the U.S. and the Microsoft Xbox One on Nov. 19.

Let us know what your current “BF4” experiences have been like in the comments below.

Re: Battlefield 4

I've always been confident that DICE would fix the bugs and balance. They have a great track record of game support.

Re: Battlefield 4

Btw, IGN is so Biased. I mean IGN said that Battlefield 4 puts Cod Ghosts to shame then gives BF4 an 8.5, Gives COD GHOSTS an 8.8 .... Wow.

IMHO, they did too much balancing in BF3. I liked some of their fixes, but I felt they went overboard on nerfing certain weapons to the point that they were useless. It was also funny how after each patch, you'd see a different gun rise to the #1 used overall, at least until the last patch.

It also took them forever to fix the most annoying bug on PS3: the sound-drop glitch. I abhorred that bug.

Btw, IGN is so Biased. I mean IGN said that Battlefield 4 puts Cod Ghosts to shame then gives BF4 an 8.5, Gives COD GHOSTS an 8.8 .... Wow.

That's only a problem if it was the same reviewer for both games. Reviews are so subjective I don't pay much attention to individual ones - I look at the average via metacritic to gauge whether a game provides an experience that is generally positive or generally negative.
