Battlefield 4 Officially Confirmed

[Bounty Hunter]

I tried it for a couple of hours - but TBH if I wanted a game where I could walk around aimlessley for 10-20 minutes without seeing or doing anything - I'd play WOW

1) Press M
2) click on "Redeploy"
3) click on "instant action"

but seriously ps2 is really good.

Maybe he warped to a low pop continent but yes, join a squad, hit escape, hit redeploy, pick the spawn position or as above, instant action (it is so easy to understand where action is or isn't) and you will find yourself in much more shit than you ever did in BF.

Thats more about you not having  a clue how to play the game, its easypeesy to find some action going on once you know your way about, i blame the CODisation of bf .

Better yet join a outfit that actually talks to each other, if your in a squad that never says anything over voip you are playing the game wrong.

The game is pretty much bf2 tbh.

How is the Aussie/NZ population for PS2?

[Meat2Potatos]

There's always something reasonably epic going on somewhere on Indar. At times there are many epic battles across the whole continent.

The alerts (2 hours long) seem to be well received too with a lot of outfits and individuals competing.

Best to pick a reasonable outfit if you want real teamwork in the epic parts although lone wolfing (when you know what you're doing) can be very rewarding.

Most nubs roll with NC when starting

Naaaah, I'm not in a lame clan outfit thing, all you do is get a mic, and press the home button and it drops you in a random squad who may or may not be doing anything constructive you press M, click on squads, and peruse the squad lists until you find a group who look as though they're doing something constructive, get in, say hi, click instant action and away you go!

[Meat2Potatos]

There are some outfits that require applications like "clan" but many are just outfits.
In many ways, the "outfit" has killed clans with the "no need to apply to join our elite team".

One thing Soe has done reasonably well imo.

Although I'm in a small outfit of experiences players. We lock the squad down when we are hitting hard and open to all when we are cruising.
You only think you are doing something constructive homie.

I am well into the battlefields, but didnt really like ps2. Played it with a bunch of clanners so had teamworks and shit, but found the pace of the game too slow. Plus with huge numbers its impossible to make a huge difference as one player. I often found battles would result in the faction with more players in a certain area winning because of their superior numbers, rather than individual skill, teamwork ability or class selection.

Maybe you were just rubbish?

[Meat2Potatos]

Superior numbers is what wins battles. Pick them battles carefully.

Also, smart outfits don't continuously drive place to place. We tend to swap from side to side, back and front and definitely make a difference to the battlefield.
Gal drops, redeploys to contested positions etc. Hack terminals behind enemy lines, mass out heavy tanks etc. and hit from behind. Infinite strats to be used.

Zerging is okay but it's more about mass power. That can be countered easily.

There are 12-29 of us.

I didn't play BF42 - I was kinda on a hiatus from gaming and missed 1942, BF2 etc - I only got back into FPS when BC2 came out

BF2 was nearly 4 brilliant years, 2500 hours of my life.  it contributed to the break up of my marriage and I thank it for that as well : )  new misses loves that I love computer games, is even letting me build a full on simpit for DCS products
Glad they are bringing back commander mode, but the ranks and lack of perks in BF2 was a plus if you ask me.
If they have commander, then surely there is in game voip as well
But like you cowwie, I'll buy it when it comes out, reserve judgement and not get too hyped about it...
Now does anyone else like the clip with star wars on frostbite2?

It was in multiplayer, which doesnt mean to say it's not scripted.




they appear to be calling it levolution

EA says: "Levolution creates a dynamic and emergent battlefield where gamers can use the environment to their advantage like cutting the power to a building to shroud their enemy in darkness or reducing an entire skyscraper to rubble to alter the battlefield. With Levolution, the environment reacts to the player's every move and ensures no two games will ever be the same.

wonder if they will let you load a vehicle up with C4 and drive it to the base of a big building and detonate aka twin towers 1993? Might be a little realistic.

Did you watch the video? a single frag grenade can take out a carpark pillar and bring down a whole tank!

Apparently in-game VOIP is confirmed. And, DICE said no to modding support.. Bastards!

bleh, it's not like anything short of an entire game development company could come up with something half good in any reasonable amount of time these days anyway.

The content creation alone for a AAA game these days must be murder.

That would make sense if they didn't start working on the DLC before the game even comes out.
Charging a significant sum for maps has always pissed me off, I remember when Halo started selling map-packs for like $15 to Xbox players and the PC community was laughing at their stupidity.

At least with Halo 4 when they offered all DLC free they actually delivered, I'm looking at you BF3
