Battlefield 4 Officially Confirmed

Well - it was only after ovearhearing you at Tazlan.....

[avariceNZ]

Suppression needs a bit of tweaking, but not much - however the power of a quadrillion Candlepower sun glare from any angle on the map When my Avatar have Fucking Sun Goggles on. That shit needs to be turned down.

Or at least have a Squad Sun Glasses perk

Def agree about the sun needing a nerf... and if you watch the analysis of the 17 min vid of the BF4 single player mission it looks like they have done _b

When Bad Company was released there was a complete change of direction, functionality, and scope of the game. New bugs were introduced like the cursor menu offset problem, the windowed menu box problem, joystick third axis issue etc., etc. All are common to all DICE Frostbite Battlefield games.
At the same time there was a lot of feature changes. Removal of Commander, removal of VOIP, mini map / map, essentially the whole UI was new and alien to the game. DICE and EA passed off these changes as being justified somehow, it was artistic direction, or players didn't want it etc. Patrick Bach even said players didn't want the commander role even when polls on Dices own site were 80% in favour of retaining the Commander role. Similar lies on other issues were tweeted by Daniel Matros who even claimed these decisions had been based on research which he couldn't provide when asked.
Anyway, long story short, all of this is bullshit. The real actual reason for the dramatic overhaul of the UI, including maps, squads, VOIP, Commander, etc. is because River couldn't do it. River are simply Autodesk Scaleform developers. The entire UI, and more importantly all of the features within it, were at the mercy of what River were, or weren't capable of doing.
So the real logic was that DICE weren't implementing these features, River were doing the entire UI, and if River couldn't do it they made up bullshit PR reasons to explain the changes. The amount of bullshit that has surrounded this franchise post BF2 is simply astounding.

that video did not enhance my calm, sounds typical of a big corporate , farm out the boring mundane shit to the cheapest tender.....









except that boring, mundane shit included some of the best fucking features in the franchise MORONS

[kongkiwi]

Or have armys who don't attack when the sun is going down or rising. Lets do this shit at night.

Lol, then they would have guns with flashlights on them.....oh wait

how come road to rome and secret weapons didn't enjoy the remaining success of the new bf3 expansions add on packs?

[deadmeatwalking]

i guess cause you had to buy them as a cd or dvd where as downloadable content these days is so very easy to access.

Had to launch separately to vanilla game, had to go outside to buy discs.

'New promotional materials for Battlefield 4 suggest that the game will include three playable factions, and see the return of Commander Mode.'

did i miss this or is it a load of speculative bollocks ?

[The Demon Lord]

Considering what happened in BF3 - Anything that is talked about before the game is released = Speculative Bollocks

[mattnz]

Doesn't look incredibly official.

[deadmeatwalking]

yeah i doubt ill pre order this time ... maybe wait and see what it has to offer first

[Kopfjaeger]

now where did i put those Auto hot Key scripts ....

ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED!

[mattnz]

Well I certainly won't preorder on the basis of a video of a single player level, but I wouldn't rule it out.

I don't mind them releasing a bit more regularly, pretty sure everyone was all crying about it not being regular enough 18 months ago.

Is it just me or does the single player campaign they tack onto these games now seem completely pointless?

[Bounty Hunter]

It gives them somewhere to base their maps?

[AvatarFACE]

I actually liked the single player, it got me used to the controls and weapons etc.. before I jumped on multiplayer.

[mycoolcar]

Totally to do with bf4.

[Scunner]

The single player is for marketing purposes. It gives them the pretty looking scripted scenes with big explosions and loud noises which they can cut up into a trailer to try and sell to the people who don't follow the development news and just buy games on the ads.

That's not to say it can't be fun though, like the Bad Company games.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I like how they refer to themselves as Stunt Drivers in the credits.

Because being a stunt driver in a video game is totally the same thing as being a stunt driver in real life.

Haha I love that:

"Go Premium: Stand out on the battlefield with exclusive uniforms, weapons, and more. Get exclusive expansions, starting with Drone Strike (TBA)."

Sniper picking a target....Ahh there's some rich cunt with the red tiger camo premium pack, I bet he's got the smiley face key fob on his hand grenades too....I'll wipe the grin off his face.....

It begs the question, do you have to add your commanders to your battle log friends list before you can actually communicate with them via voip or are they finally going to go back to built ingame voip, gonna assume they do the voip part right else its gonna be omfg..:cower:
