A collection of what we know about BF4!

Honestly, BF4 seems like a expansion to BF3. I probably won't pick it up for a long time.

I just wish that Dice and EA would put a limit on the the DLC palooza that BF3 had. How is it fair that DLC content by itself (combined) includes more weapons/maps than the vanilla version? It even has a new game mode. This is what really pissed me off when I bought the so called, 'Standard Edition'. What bullshit. If they are going to do the same with BF4, than the standard version should be a demo by itself.

Just wait, the current Pre-order edition of BF4 will be botched once again by another DLC-fest compilation pack by the end of its lifespan.

organize the browser by expansion, all of them have loads of packed 64 player servers to this day

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="alan_carter"] I really don't understand why do they release so many maps, it's better to have 3 good maps than 10 copy and paste scenarios.wis3boi

[QUOTE="wis3boi"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] Yup I agree. Having so many maps segregated so many players. Making some really good maps dead because the players moved onto the "new maps" in which some weren't even good. Gotta admit that some players just move on to the newest thing which is pretty lame.Elann2008

I have more full servers than can fit on one page :P

When I ordered a few games the other days I was thinking of finally getting BF3, until I saw all the DLC's then changed my mind.

I don't know why they do it, release a premium priced game, and expect people to keep forking out cash and still expect the playerbase not to drop.

Or maybe that's the whole idea? Spread the playerbase thin as possible, and not have to worry about people sticking to the previous game like with the case of CounterStrike. They know the playerbase would rather flock to the new game.

I dont like being charged for each small component. I see very little point in paying to add a small portion to my game or buying map packs, I buy them all at once. The only DLC I have ever bought has either been part of a complete Steam sale of a game, or Bf3 Premium.

so any word about the dinosaur mode?

TheShadowLord07

Why do people keep asking? It was a stupid thread on 4 chan that everybody has now requested as a mode. It wouldn't fit within the game at all and would just end up feeling unfinished and tacky rather than a fun addition.

What dice didn't tell you at E3 was....that office building fell over because of Godzilla, not shelling ;)

So good!

Now that's what I call a multiplayer map with SCALE. Not the small maps in BF3. :D

:D

I love that gif, lol.

I'm seeing a lot of comments on other forums, and even this forum from time to time that BF4's graphics isn't any better than BF3... Are you kidding me?  :shock: :P  

Just look at the video Mitu linked, at least twice.  My gosh, the water physics..  ARE YOU READY FOR LEVELUTION?!

My body is not ready for that moment when you're in the elevator with your squad, listening to the cheesy music....and then the building falls over with you still riding it

That seamode, skyscraper collapsing, tablet commander, if it works like it should it would be just awesome, but seems like if they're doing the same thing like in bf3, they're advertising small visual intense moments from the lame campaign mode, introducing new debris models and effects, but the multiplayer is just the same than in 3.

Plus lets be honest, BF could be fun if we had the chance to fight dinosaurs with jets and tanks and such, but if anything Far Cry 3 and Blood Dragon have proven that there are much cooler ways to fight dinosaurs.

A Far Cry 3 style game where we're let loose on the Jurassic Park island, some vehicles, and tons of weapons for instance. Hell, Blood Dragon added Blood Dragons, so if anything we should bug the FC people for dinosaur DLC.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"]Agreed, I hope the game is full of big maps!

Does anybody know how long it takes to ride the elevator up, or if the elevator shows changes when the building falls?

It would be amazing to be riding up there with your team when the lights start flickering and the elevator starts shaking violently.

It will probably be more optimized by the time of release, so you might still be able to get a 30 fps min.

30FPS for multiplayer is not ideal...

True, but that was maxed out. You will still be able to get at least 50 FPS.

My OC 560 Ti is sad, but not to the point of crying, though I think the game might be a bit held back by my stupid old ass dual core CPU.

It's alpha, so I wouldn't get too concerned about performance just yet.nutcrackr

I wish those were around when i got my 570. Though my 570 is OC'd to 580 specs out of the box, so its still quite speedy
