I've only played BF3. Wasn't a bad game, but it wore thin real quick imo. Personally, I think the war genre is kinda wearing itself thin. Maybe will probably disagree though as people will still buy Call of Duty games and this. I'd much rather this than Call of Duty though. I felt more useful, heh. I may end up checking it out though. Who knows?

The single player looks a bit more sensationalised than bf3 was but it hasn't quite suck to CoD level. Michael K. Williams providing a voice is a nice little addition. Still, the multi player is what it'll all end up being about when it comes down to it. I never really got into any FPS since Soldier of Fortune 2 but damn bf3 hooked me and ive sunk a good 350 hours into it. Looking forward to BF3 but I might take the PC route rather than console, even if i do pick up a ps4 anytime around launch.

Yep. I mean, they didn't even try to change the font and color scheme... The teaser music so far is only a little different, but still not really. What a joke. Fuck, bro.

That said, I'll still most likely buy it and play on. I've only gotten better at BF3, since all of my hardships. I maxed out to level 100 two months back (probably only just then because I didn't change my weapons up as much throughout the journey), been trolling games lately. lol

I hope for interesting map layouts and better destruction.

I'm always looking for more people to play with.

My name is "caldrax" on origin and on steam if any of you want to add me. I'm more likely to notice messages on steam but I try to pay attention to Origin messages as well.

So far the game seems pretty fun, crashes notwithstanding. I haven't played the single player. I've heard everything from "it's decent" to "it's a total disaster."

I'm gonna be lame and get it on PS3 sometime, probably whenever I can pick it up cheap in stores or on ebay. My mates I squad up with will all be getting it on PS3 too, and of the almost 500 hours I played of BF3 95% of it was with those friends, it just wasn't fun without them.

Looks very nice def think the story so far on BF3 was way better though! But there is a glitch in the game and I might not play it until DICE/EA patch shit up (Yes it is on their end). I am not sure if anyone playing BF4 here has had it happened to them (playing on PS4) but I and a few people I know have gotten the whole corrupt file thingy that has eventually erased our campaign mode and maybe multiplayer stats. They need to patch it up asap! I wanna beat the campaign mode and move on to single player. Btw I guess this has also happened on PC and on the last gen (feels weird saying that) as as well.

Skip the campaign till the problem with the error is officially fixed. I am because that's progress I can't get back, should it die out again. Multiplayer though--I can help you out to get around the error. Your stats and progress stay because it's all Battlelog active.

Follow these steps exactly, then you should be good.

BF4 on PS4 is truly awesome. It's PC graphics and physics. Insane!

I don't understand how people don't know what it's all about...they're just like "CoD: Ghosts? Wut?"

Got to mission 6 of 7 on the single player tonight. I like the single player better than 3, personally. It's been a lot less buggy and It doesn't seem to rely on you staying inside certain combat zones. Also, having an unlock system and selectable weapons on every mission is nice. Along with a score system a bit like the multiplayer, it just feels more fun to play. The story is kinda threadbare but I wasn't expecting much from it anyway.

Finished the campaign last night. Kinda underwhelming ending. I played through all 3 possible endings (the first time I didn't realize there was a time limit, so I just let them blow up my ship), which I would've considered a waste of time if not for the unlocks. Anyway, it was still decently fun, and way better than 3 (I didn't finish 3 because of a bug on a tank mission that made it unbeatable, I never went back and tried to resolve it).

Multiplayer wise I played a bit of Operation Locker tonight, trying to level my support up a bit. Unlocked a few shotguns, which is nice (I like playing Domination and Team DM with shotguns).

Still want more people to play with. It's fun to get on ventrillo or skype or whatever and play, so if you have that and you want to get a game going, hit me up. If I'm free, I'll play with you.

I beat the campaign yesterday on Hard. In some 3-5 hours, a bit to my surprise, though I still felt it was about as long in story as any other MMS FPS game single player. Otherwise--I'm fairly used to the AI of Battlefield by now, apparently. I love the new shooting feel in this game. That was a welcome change.

I went with the "Hannah ending", I'll call it. I didn't figure/know there was any other ending than the "Irish ending", which I should probably try out, just because.

Yes though, BF4 campaign>BF3 campaign. Easily. More fun and funnier, IMO. I lol'd at various dialogue scenes. Usually moments that weren't meant to be funny. (Dima, for one thing. <3) If for nothing else I got that out of it.

Are you on PS4 by chance? :0/

Locker is a very fun map (doors and a whole lot of crazy choke points). It also mixes up some good long range outdoor fights. It seems very well suited for TDM and Obliteration.

My PC can't handle this bad boy, so on that end I'm stuck with BF3 (which is still good). I've been playing BF4 on Xbox 360 and loving it, though. It's surprisingly playable! I figured it'd be completely crippled from the hardware, but it's been keeping me hooked. At least until I can upgrade my computer.

That's so inconvenient and moronic. Why have a feature in every game before and then just take it out? It's not even a "useless" feature at all.

You know ive experienced one glitch: autosaving doesnt work, and i have to start the campaign over from the begining.

That is unacceptable. Nobody should be releasing games that dont function on that level. Some clipping here and there, ok. The occassional lag, it happens. MP has been perfect for me. But dropping saves is unacceptable. And people should get lawsuits for releasing broken games. This is a growing problem where games are released without proper testing, without truly functio.ing and it needs to stop.

These are the biggest budget, most successful games in the world, they can afford to either make it work or take a lawsuit for selling people a product that does not work.

True but honestly, who is going to benefit from the lawsuit? Me, @Magrão (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=74) , you and other consumers won't get any of the winnings if it does succeed (which is won't). All that'll happen is funding for support by EA/DICE will be dropped down several pegs and that's about it.

Mostly Conquest but I'll dabble in Rush for a change of pace here and there. The video I posted was Rush. I've yet to play any other mode in BF4 that's new (Obliteration, Capture the Flag, etc.) so I'm unsure.

Conan The Barbarian
12-26-2013, 08:56 PM
Same. I have dabbled mostly in conquest and domination for a more fast pace game.

Also operation metro 2000 sucks again as one team can just capture their first two points and then just camp C and then pretty much spawn camp. Its annoying .

Yeah, I played Operation Metro 2014 earlier and it was Conquest as well. My team had 80 more tickets when I joined yet we lost because the other team overtook B somehow and pretty much spawn camped us for over 290 tickets. It got boring quickly.

@Maury (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=1942) I would if I could, between Obliteration and Defuse, I've never been able to get into a game of those two. The matchmaking on this game is still dogshit. I try to join a match and it puts me on a loading tab with a black screen and immediately cuts out and then says Failed to join connection like 10 seconds later. Endless queues, quick match failing to find a match and a shit ton of other things.

I tried joining an Operation Metro 2014 match earlier and it ceased to ever load that map and connect me to a server, even though I own and have Second Assault installed. I tried about half a dozen other matches on that map and I get the same issue. As for the other DLC, I can't even download the China Rising DLC as when it reaches 100% on the download/install it ceases installation and gives me a notification that it isn't formatted right and needs to be found elsewhere on the marketplace.

I knew the game was broken but Jesus Christ. When you can't even download or install a DLC file, you know you have a problem on your hands. They better fix this shit speedy or I will raise hell.

I wish they'd fix the shit. I bought Premium and have yet to play it because the garbage isn't formatted correctly to install on the Xbox One console. Morons haven't even acknowledged fixing it yet on airwaves so I am fearful of never getting it unless some dumb fluke occurs where it magically works.
