[QUOTE="silversix_"]Nothing to say, do want and that is all. Hopefully they remake Arica Harbor in this one.Wasdie

Why is it for every Battlefield game people always want remakes of old maps? What's wrong with new maps?

So this is what PC gamers looking forward to when they don't 3DS exclusives to look forward to... That's.... uh... Looks super duper complicated. No way could I be able handle such a complex game. I guess I'll just go back to playing Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Wait, just to be clear, when you aim your gun, you have to shoot, right? Jeez, man, how do you guys manage to remember all of that and still react so fast? I'm surprised they're even putting this game on consoles. No way could somebody like Bill Gates handle all of that.

"A quick clip at the end of the demo indicates that Battlefield 4 is going to have amphibious assaults with both large ships and smaller PT boats."

Titan mode spin-off possible? Carrier vs carrier maybe? Would be pretty badass to have a large scale assault on an enemy aircraft carrier similar to what Titan mode was in Battlefield 2142.

No when you aim your gun it actually sends a command for your wife or female partner to go into the firing line and distract enemies with her cleavage while you sneak around them. That's why they brought females into the BF franchise this time

Wow, you are so cool. I wish I could play deep, complex games like Fire Emblem and be a complete douche too.... But I guess I'm not cool enough because I like games that require teamwork and real-time thinking. Oh well.

Carrier vs. carrier would be amazing.

Yes because the DLC maps apparently don't exist.

I would agree with you except that every map they launched after BF3 was much better than any vanilla map except for Caspian Border. So unless they just ignored all of that progress they made on some fantastic maps post-launch, BF4 won't have any of those issues.

Even so, the maps in vanilla Battlefield 3 were fine. The whole "flags clumped together" was on 1 map that PC gamers over exaggerated like they do with everything they hate on.

Yeah! we should only think about important things all the time like women's rights and racism! There can be no frivolity at all!

More like 17 minutes of mind numbing nonsense. DICE should start showing the multiplayer(aka the important part of Battlefield) from the get go. jg4xchamp

I agree but let's face it, MP doesn't translate the same in presentations. SP footage is far better suited for a 17 minute extended demo because of the action and pacing that happens. 

But yeah I will be more pumped for MP stuff.

Watching the reveal again, didnt notice it first time. This gif shows it, the sparks actually stay on the ground glowing instead of just disapearing straight away nice touch.

Looks superb. Like what I'm seeing of the campaign so far. Would like them to include a depth of field effect on the weapon sights when you're aiming (always thought that was an odd omission from BF3) but that's a miniscule complaint given how good the graphics look. Hopefully it'll run as well as BF3 too!

BF Multiplayer trailer update - 


Bitty (a popular supplier of BF info prior to it being "officially" announced) has stated the following regarding a trailer for the multiplayer aspect of the game that so many are dying to see:


"'There will be multiplayer trailer on 30th of March. Trailer with elements of gameplay. It's not gonna be like any other trailers of Battlefield series. I'm not gonna say anything more."

Website is in Russian? If anyone can translate - http://eashooters.ru/?p=487

Bitty also confirmed prior to it being common knowledge that the BF4 trailer would be "longer than 12 minutes". He also, UNFORTUNATELY said the mostly hated "blue filter" is back for BF4. Dice really listens to their community...

omg dem graphics. I bet that's PS4 footage :o

lol this makes me laugh because in that stupid killzone thread I said that watch BF4 come out and make both games look obsolete as far as graphics.  Well here you go.  Hopefully now that thread never gets brought up again.

Blue fliter? F***, time to tweak that as well.

I totally forgot the part of the PS4 conference where there was an E button.

If it's not a sequel to BF 2142 they can fvck off.

They're just presenting it as the PC version but it's probably running on a PS4. PC can't render those kinds of visuals..

The "blue filter" is completely thrown out of proportion.

For Mtero and Seine it's not. But that's basically all there is to it. Other maps have colour gradient too but it really is blown out of proportion.

Apparently the game was running on a dual GPU from AMD that is faster than Titan.

I expected more with that kind of power.

Demo was so unimpressive, it's 2013 and military shooters are still in 2007.

More info

[quote="mitu123"]

• Most of the single-player campaign is set in China, but the game demo, "Fishing in Baku," takes place in Baku, Azerbaijan, a peninsula city on the Caspian Sea. During this mission a U.S. Special Forces team that goes by the radio ID Tombstone recovers a valuable piece of intel and then tries to get out of the city as Russians give chance. 
• Tombstone's primary goal in the game is to rescue some VIPs in Shanghai. Tensions are very high between the Russians, Chinese, and Americans, so this won't be easy. Their efforts eventually spark a global conflict.
• DICE knows not many people warmed up to the characters in Battlefield 3, so one of its primary focuses in Battlefield 4 is character development. Though a huge geopolitical conflict drives the campaign, the story is really about the relationship of these characters caught in this untenable situation.
• Players assume the role of a soldier named Recker. The other soldiers in his squad are Sgt. Dunn, Irish, Pac, and Ruger. One of the soldiers looks and sounds like Michael K. Williams, the actor who played the unforgettable Robin Hood gangster Omar Little in The Wire.
• The end of the demo also showed a female character of Chinese descent. We're not sure if she cooperates with your fireteam or if she's on the other side of the conflict.
• To make the characters more believable, DICE doubled down on its facial animation, skin shaders, and full body animations.
• Judging from the demo, it looks like DICE is integrating signature elements of the Battlefield multiplayer experience and integrating it into the campaign, like leaderboards and stat tracking.
• Similar to the Autolog challenges in Need For Speed, it looks like social challenges appear during the campaign that you can engage in for bragging rights with your friends. This could include anything from collecting the most dog tags in a mission or completing a sequence faster than your friends. This should help increase the replay value of the campaign.
• Battlefield 3's campaign was criticized for its painful linearity. For the follow-up, DICE is sticking more to its expertise, introducing open micro-sandboxes that incorporate vehicles and allow players to engage the enemy in whatever manner they choose. You could hop in a jeep to get to the hot zone, or move carefully on foot from cover to cover. You could take out all the tangos yourself, or call in a support strike from a helicopter. You could hang back and take out enemies with a sniper rifle, or equip a shotgun and get up close and personal. These action bubbles will often be book-ended by cinematic set piece moments.
• You don't have full control over your squadmates, but you can order them to engage enemies or offer suppressing fire, which would allow you to flank the enemy while they are pinned down.
• Battlefield 3's co-op mode was a mess, so DICE is scrapping it altogether to focus on the campaign and multiplayer.
• Battlefield 4 is being built on the third iteration of DICE's Frostbite engine, which runs at 60 frames per second (at least on PC). Other new Frostbite 3 features include particle effects, a cinematic Bokeh effect, reflective surfaces, and impressive water technology that allows them to approximate the violent waves of the open seas.
• Battlefield 4 is coming to PC, PS3, Xbox 360. Given the power of the engine, we also believe this game is a slam dunk to come to the PlayStation 4, and next Xbox as well, though EA wouldn't confirm.
• The new version of Battlelog is better incorporated into consoles. DICE says it should be equally good on these systems as it is on PC.
• The Premium subscription service is returning for Battlefield 4. EA says it will offer more details later, but if you pre-order, you will get a premium expansion pack similar to Back to Karkand when the game launches.
• If the demo is any indication, destruction looks to be coming back in a major way. Micro-destruction found in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters expansion pack seems to be integrated into Battlefield 4, as well as bigger set piece moments like the collapsing interior of the building. During the demo, Recker uses a shotgun to blow throw a wooden fence, blows through a concrete wall with a grenade launcher to flank enemies, and during a chase sequence an attack chopper rips through concrete and window panes.
• The sandboxes are also more dynamic and interactive than the static ones in previous Battlefield games. If you walk to close to a parked car, you may set off a car alarm and alert nearby enemies to your presence. If you move too quickly through a forest, a flock of birds make fly away en masse, signaling to enemies that they should go investigate the area.
• A quick clip at the end of the demo indicates that Battlefield 4 is going to have amphibious assaults with both large ships and smaller PT boats.

That does sound similar to Crysis 2 & 3 actually. I'm glad they listened to the complaints about the campaign of BF3

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

Not next gen? :? surely that's just something they didn't put in or something, has to be next gen

balfe1990

Guarantee you MS have instructed EA not to announce a PS4 version until their console is out in the open. They don't want PS4 taking all the glory.
