Solid game. I've always been a fan of the battlefield games, and BF4 is basically BF3 but improved in every way. I have the advantage of never knowing what BF4 was like at release (which no doubt soils many people's opinions about it).

It is, but they're not that similar anyway. And it lacks vehicles. I enjoy both though, nothing wrong with spicing things up a bit every once in a while.

And both have elder god-tier sound design, I only wish BF4 had more conventional weapons like an AK-74, etc, at least it has the AN-94.

because the BF squad spawn system is the worst in video games

25 dudes should not spawn on just 5 (and anywhere)
>>
>>316842816
The spawns are easily the worst part about the modern Battlefield games. Not just squad spawn, even when you're spawning to defend your checkpoint. I can't count how many times I've spawned right next to an enemy or even a tank.

Doesn't help that the most popular maps are so straight forward, like one big choke point, instead of having to go far east, or west.

Another thing that I find annoying is how rifles with an effective range of 500-600 meters turn to cotton candy after like 70 meters in this game, I realize it's balance issue and is not so bad on hardcore, so I'll let it slide.

The rest of the game is great though.

>>
The performance issues on launch really let me down, And while I didn't mind the spawn on any squad member aspect of 3, the short ass default spawn times meant that if you didn't wipe out an entire squad in a few seconds, you're very likely to get shot in the back, or in the face by someone with waaaaay too much spawn invulnerability.

Yeah this. Game deserved all the flak when it was released, and I fucking hate EA, but let's be fair, the game is still being supported, is damn stable and balanced now and already received several free maps.

>I can't count how many times I've spawned right next to an enemy or even a tank.
- You are invincible for a few seconds when you spawn as long as you don't move so that you don't get insta-killed.
- You have a camera that shows you if your squadmate or flag is safe or under fire. Use it wisely.

Also, play it on Classic so that you can only spawn on your squad leader. Game is much better in Classic.

>Doesn't help that the most popular maps are so straight forward, like one big choke point
Valid point. BF needs less chokepoint maps and more open maps.
>>
>>316844512

>>316846604
Yeah I know about the camera, it's partly my own fault on that note, but I also mentioned when spawning on a checkpoint it's not all the time, but enough for me to point it out.

I also only ever play on hardcore, haven't been playing lately though and I only got to try classic once. But it'll be my go to game mode from now on.

Don't misunderstand me, I love the game. Just a couple of things that annoys me.

The problem is the map design is such shit, that literally all you need to do is hold the other team at a choke point and you win, Operation Lockout and Metro prove this. Everything else is great, but the map design killed it for me.
>>
>>316846365
>BF needs less chokepoint maps and more open maps.

Except all the casuals will complain, the unfortunately growing cancer of 24/7 Locker/Metro types who eschew anything to do with vehicles and combined arms gameplay, and push to have Battlefield at large do the same, which they got a taste of with Hardline and want more vehicle-less BF.

>>316847484
I think the issue here is because every infantry unit and every vehicle can have any equipment that they want.

Every single fucker is going around with thermals in their vehicle, and on small chokepoint maps that is a death sentence for infantry.

I think Battlefield would be better if they had dedicated classes for this shit, instead of letting everyone be anything. I mean the older battlefield games only let you choose between regular/alternative weapons depending on what faction you were, and what they would be equipped with in reality.

The game is designed for lone wolves.

That would be ok. If you get in a freaking tank, you're not supposed to die with 2 hits, and you're supposed to lay out a carnage. It should take the opposing team a considerable effort to eliminate an armored threat.

Now the problem is the vehicles respawn waaaay too fast. Sometimes I feel there's no point in eliminated the enemy armor.
>>
>>316844512

I was actually more impressed with outbreak than the DLC maps, it had a BC2 vibe to it.

Maybe because it's an actual open area rather than the trash one chokepoint maps anons are talking about in the thread.

I got this when it was in sale recently. Been having a blast with it. It's definitely more fun when you and your squad work together, and when a team's squad works together.

BC2 has it's good points and many improvements, sure. But it was also the first BF to consolify and casualize the game.

Play classic. Limited ammo and explosives, no regen, no 3D spotting, only squad leader spawn and it's a much less spammy game.

No. The game is awesome, but the "normal" ruleset is an absolute casualization prone to extreme spam. The game looks like an arena shooter like that.

If you are referring to the fact that it is not talked about on /v/ it is because it is a good game fundamentally. Of course to it was the game series that started season passes (premium in BF franchise). At the end of the day though I think DLC is bull shit most of the time but I will buy it if I like the game for what it is. The new star wars battlefront it taking it a bit far though with its skeleton structure and all the meat of the game being the DLC to come. But I did enjoy the beta to a degree but it (like any game) can get very boring and tired. Also MFW EA heralded the destruction of content filled games with the season pass model.

Something about it was off. The maps felt a lot more confined, the gunplay (at the time) was terrible, didn't have that natural drive to play for the objective, commander mode is an abortion of a gimmick and a generally more stupid playerbase (not the game's fault). I still enjoyed it but I'd have BF3 anyday of the week.

The game is probably good now (haven't played in close to a year) but for way too long it was a victim of high expectations.

This.

No medic trains, because they have the less than superior kits.

Somehow, assault is more fun and still tuned well.

The sniping seems better.

16v16 instead of 32v32, making it less hectic and thus more strategic.

I think you're confusing me with the other poster, I was the one who said that FLIR can't see through smoke anymore, and he said that the other one is better then.

And I wondered if he meant that since FLIR can't see through smoke now, that NV is better. Whatever, it must have been.

I can see why they would apply it on Metro/Locker, but it's pretty dumb to remove that feature of thermals in open maps. Still wouldn't say it's entirely useless if you're covering some ground with a sniper or LMG.

Bitch BF4 is my fav BF (on classic mode).

I played all main BF games and BC2. I played freaking Codename Eagle (you don't know what that is, so google it) on a 10Mbps LAN.

The only COD shit I played was the single-player campaign of Modern Warfare 1 and 2.

There are no medic trains on BF4 anymore. You can't be healed under fire.

Don't go on fast vehicle spawn servers, there's a lot of them. It makes you think it's faster, when it's really just a lot of servers make vehicles respawn quickly or instantly, not the vanilla respawn time.

I stopped playing BF4 after two or three months since I didn't want to buy EA's overpriced map packs and refusing to do so meant being constantly booted from servers.

Even then, DICE was taking is sweet time fixing the technical issues with the game. A lot of maps regularly had sound cutout issues. Servers shit themselves when level destruction kicks in.

There was a surprisingly low number of jihad jeepers.

True, before the game even begins I already know what's going to happen and have a toolbox of strategies prepared to counter the enemy team.

There's also the fact that veteran players are relocated to support roles because inexperienced players don't know how to effectively take down aircraft, tanks or hold down defensive positions.

You have level 140s holding down the friendly flag all game with stingers popping flares to save the casuals from getting genocided by attack helicopters or jets when they'd be much better placed on the offensive.

Battlefield 4 is really immersive if you just try to forget the scoreboard for a moment, have a drink or something to help you not care about k/d ratio, and disable all the popups/music, etc.

BF is for combined arms, which was something I always wanted to have in a multiplayer game and was extremely inovative. My wish was fulfilled when Codename Eagle and BF showed up.

Because no sniper uses PLD and thus no engineer carries laser guided missiles.

It's a vicious cycle. I just use the SMAW to clear walls and remove snipers by force.
>>
>>316864362
But why did BF3 have it? Isn't the cycle the same?
>>
>>316864224
Well until this recent patch the PLD/SOFLAM was a nightmare to use because it locked on to everything other than the tank you were pointing it at. That made recons not use them. Combine that with the fact the PLD used to be 300m to lock and revealed your position not only because tanks have psychic powers but you have a giant red beacon on your face, and you have the perfect anti-fun gadget.

Now that it has much better lock-on priority and the PLD being 500m recons are using them much more often.

Engineers just need to notice the change.

Seriously though, just sit in a tow launcher and kill tanks from across the map since it has a fucking retarded 650m lock on range.
