Excluding criticisms of typical EA bullshit, what does /v/ think of Battlefield 4?
And do you have any hype for BF5?
>>
I got it for 12 with premium during the sale, it's fun, shotguns are great.

Didn't like the maps too much aside from maybe Flood Zone.
>>
3 was better.

4 is a Tryhard fest
>>
the best FPS on the market.
>>
>>321827938
Absolutely amazing, better than 3 in all aspects, i play it almost everyday ever since release even when it was bad.
>>
It all went downhill.
3 was better and BC2 was better than 3 and so on.

Battlefield is a sinking ship, Hardline proves it.
>>
>>321827938
None of the maps stand about and it's really boring to play because of it.
>>
They need another WWII BF or create another Vietnam one. That shit was so fun.
>>
>>321827938
I used to play this all the time, don't know why I stopped. Never had any problems with performance, crashes or netcode
>>
>>321828731
You are joking right? Fucking Siege of Shangai is incredible, Parcel storm is ok and Caspian Border2014 is legendary, Dragon Valey is litterally my current favorite.

The only maps i hate are the ones without vehicles in it, i mean isan't vehicular battles the point of buying battlefield and not cod?
>>
>>321829143
None of the vehicles have much point within the game. I mean, they aren't as good, as the maps limit them.

Also Seige of Shanghai is good until a fuckhead makes the building collapse or (on rush) when a tank rams himself in that underground part... (You know what I'm talking about)

Best fps.
Pretty balanced considering all the guns.

That is hard because games have been mindblowingly shit lately. Just because a game is less shit than others doesn't make it good.

squad will be better at some point. In a lot of ways it already is.

Theres not many games out there that offer what battlefield offers but i'd much rather play something like insurgency or even CS over battlefield.

battlefield 2 you fucking faggot you dont belong here

>>321830540
alright man, continue to let whatever /v/ culture you have keep you from playing this legitimately decent game.

im not shilling but you can buy BF4 premium for $20 dollars right now, if you dont like it you can get a full refund.

>>321830645
>early access
>40 dollars

as of right now its devoid of content, walking, waiting, and then eventually a short firefight is what it comes down to. Project Reality is good enough right now, maybe squad will be good down the line. BF4 and PR arent too comparable anyway.

>>321830735
sure dude, just let me open BF2 and play on a server right n-oh.
>>
>>321830862

and yet its better than the casual shitfest of a mess that is bf4. Embarrassing isnt it? At least squad has actual shooting mechanics

BF4 may as well been early access during its first 6 months post release

Having problems with my video card resetting when changing maps on essentially max settings. Heard it was a problem with factory OC'd cards. Anything I can use to underclock it slightly and by how much?

i feel bad for you who play and take this franchise seriously at this point. It's so far from what it used to be.

its a game with a medic class that still refuses to drop regenerating health.


this is just one of many things that are indicative of the nonsensical design decisions behind modern battlefield games.

It's shit. Bf2 and bfbc2 were the last good ones. Bf3 was fun but not great

>>321832205
whats nonsensical about it? health regenerates so fast that its never a good idea to refuse healing.

at the same time its not a good idea to run across the map just to find a medic

well you don't have to, you just get the health back anyway

If you said Ostfront, then maybe. RO2 was just as fucking bad, and had a god awful launch.
>>
>>321832523
and again, how is it nonsensical? They mix in standard battlefield ideas with modern fps ideas in hopes that old fans stick around and a new audience is reached.

the long-term success of the game seems to indicate its a good idea
>>
>>321831428
But on the flip side there is a number of things that BF2 got right, that BF4 has regressed in. Such as: unlocks for vehicles, spawning on more than the squad leader/flags, and map size.

Both games are fun, I just wish that BF4 was the best it can be.

No. It's not good your game got casualized. No. Its longevity isnt proof that its a good decision. Maybe a good decision for EA

simplifies the game. Gives less to the players. Caters to those who will only play for a short period of time opposed to those who will play for years and years.

It's bad design. Just because more lemmings like it, and it allows to company to make more homogenized soulless and simplistic shooters doesn't mean its a good design decision.


Don't know how much clearer i can make it, kid.

maybe by actually explaining yourself instead of just saying the game is bad and offering no argument? or are you one of those people who think that any sort of streamlining or simplification is always bad?

FPS is a tired genre that needs to be retired for a bit in exchange for some bigger name alternatives, but as far as rehash shooters go, BF4 (when it isn't crashing) is okay. A little less fun than 3, a lot less fun than Bad Co 2, and absolute garbage in comparison to BF2

how does it give less? the medic equipment is still in the game and the assault class can be more than just a medic if they want.

shaped up pretty nicely

too little to late though but to be fair pretty much every BF is good on it's last legs, I love DICE's support of it and getting around to free maps

If a sequel to tetris came out and change it to where you could clear rows regardless of color, then yes, it would be bad.

Everything about modern battlefield has been simplified since its inception. Shooting mechanics simplified. Squad roles simplified. Map designed simplified.

Why would you ask this? We are discussing the simplification of a game to appeal to the masses. Of course most players don't love that. Most players of this franchise have shit taste.

Go figure?

that would also remove a core gameplay mechanic of the game.

adding regenerating health, in the way done in bf4, doesnt remove a core gameplay feature, since medics are still needed.

I got my computer upgraded just to play it, got the full 120 pre order package, and never regretted it.

I think honestly, the launch issues were overblown, but it's ok since it led to DICE constantly polishing it further, and great free dlc.

It's the best shooter on the market, and I'm looking forward to pretty much doing it all over again for BF5.

That's... not too far off.

I put probably 350+ hours into playing rush in BF3 on my 360, but BF4 is definitely better for 64 player conquest.

I fucking loved playing both BC2 and BF2 and I like them both the same, mostly because rush vs. conquest are 2 completely different modes.

Who even gives a shit about regenerating health? The only players that rely on it are scrubs with less than 2.5 KPM and you shouldn't be dying to that type of terrible scrub anyways.

Because bf3 was free for a limited time and they didn't even played 4 they are just here to post their uninformed opnions and call it shitpost because thats how you ebin.
>>
>>321836562
>it wasn't just COD with tanks

yeah it was mostly just COD
>>
>>321836562
BF3 is much closer to CoD than BF4 is. Vehicles play a much bigger role in 4 and TTK and gun play in 3 was much closer to CoD.

>>321837909

I have more hours in hardline than in bf4 thats how shit bf4 is

I'd rather wouldve paid for bf3 or bc2 with a better netcode so i would still play them
>>
>>321827938

Loved 3 but 4 is somehow rubbish, its a shame they fixed it after I logged in so many hours at the start, the damage was done and I never went back. Rainbow 6 is way more fun anyway
>>
>>321837151
not that guy but regardless of that regenerating health is not present in hardcore mode so if you are litterally NOT A CASUAL you will try hardcore mode, it even have more players ffs
you guys are discussing medicines for a dead horse.

Hot garbage at launch, the game is much better now, but the fucked up server browser makes this game look dead.

BF4 is just Lock On: Modern Anti Air Combat
>>
Curbstomps are never fun. What were they thinking with that snow map. It's like Metro 2.0
>>
>>321838935
there are 18,000 people playing hardline right now across all platforms.

there are 74,000 people playing bf4 across all platforms.

so you are saying your opinion is better and those 74,000 people are just plebs?

hardline was a straight up flop and that is undeniable
>>
I just recently got back into it, the amount of maps is insane and I got a cheap Premium thing so I have all of them, Dragon Valley is as fun as I remember it in BF2.

I love Naval Strike too and all the mals where water is featured heavily like the partially flooded city, the fucking giant storms and insides of a destroyed aircraft carrier, and all the nighttime city maps in Shanghai are great too.

I finally realize its a solid game now, especially on 48-60hz servers, I'm glad that so many still play on PC.

I especially love how when I'm in the mood for fast pace chaotic action I can join a 64 player 24/7 Operation Locker or Metro server, and if I had enough of that and want the larger maps and vehicle combat I can join the 64 player Gulf of Oman, Dragon Valley. And If I want muh naval combat I join the Naval Strike servers and if I want to feel the snowy cold feeling we're not getting here in the US I join the Last Stand servers.

Theres so much variety in this game between modes, maps, servers, weapons, way more than BF3 and hell of a lot more than EA Battlefront

Also if you're doing shit in combat, raise your FOV to almost the limit, helps a ton.
>>
>>321827938
It's still the bastardized cowaduty version of past past BF games, and teamwork has been all but canned in favor of "gotta go fast!" lone wolves, but it's still decently fun. IMO all of the map packs are god awful outside of the naval maps, but the base ones are alright. It's a fun time killer and finally stable, but I haven't forgotten the state it was in for months after launch, so this is the last BF game I'll play.

It's a containment map for people who liked Metro.

>>321841882
Although I will say one negative thing
FUCK THE RETARD MAP DESIGNER THAT MADE DRAGON VALLEY RUSH

HOLY SHIT

If you played even one round of it, you'd know what I mean.
>>
>>321842169
Also fuck the fucking Battlepacks system, I said I just recently got back into it, after like a year and a half of ignoring it and when I came back I got flooded with Battlepacks and almost all of them were random scopes and 25/50XP boosts

Locking actual weapon upgrades and camo behind stupid fucking battlepacks was a retarded idea, at least let us have all the flat camo unlocked and make all the shitty starbust and weed and other variants a battlepack thing.

Fucking Battlepack system is an insult to Battlefield and its players
>>
>>321842459
Unfortunately nobody makes a shooter anymore without bloated unlock mechanics, like battlepacks for attachments. Hell, even the default unlocks are incredibly bloated and full of useless shit nobody EVER uses just to keep people churning on that hamster wheel.
>>
>Most maps are terrible.
>Playerbase consists of either low skilled players who abuse explosives/vehicles/camping or top tier MLG clan faggots that steam roll everyone and ruin the entire game.
>Vehicle balance is awful on 90% of maps, usually too many or too few vehicles or the wrong combination
>Mobile AA
>>
>>321843251
As a side note, im not saying the game is terrible, but rather only 15-20% of your time played will actually be enjoyable.
>>
>>321827938
After 2 years i can finally boot it up 2-3 times a week and have a few hours of genuine fun with it. The only thing i hate about it are the shit map designs and that nobody touches the dlc maps outside of conquest.
>>
>>321843076
I'm pretty pissed at Dice for asuming the only reason I'm still playing their game is because of there fucking battlepack and unlocks bullshit.

I used to play Call of Duty UO multiplayer for hours and hours every day and there were no unlocks there, and yet servers were full day after day because we played for the game itself, the maps, the great feel of the weapons and the chaos of multiplayer battle where no two matches are alike.

And now Dice shoves this retarded most insulting unlock system in our faces as if to say you wouldn't be played the game if you had everything available already, now go grind those battlepacks goy.

Its useless at this point too, BF4 finally feels stable, fun, great variety of maps and modes, just fuck the battlepacks shit I swear.

Why don't you swap through the squads until you find one whos actually doing stuff together? It immediately makes the game better. I can consistently have a good time when i rotate through squads.

Vehicles are pretty shite considering they explode or run away unless they have a dedicated mechanic.
