I got quite bored of Battlefield 3 like I do most military shooters, but news of Battlefield 4 should be dropping 'within 90 days'.

EA will be revealing more about Battlefield 4 "in about 90 days" time, the publisher has teased - including a potential reveal on next-generation formats.

"We've already talked a little bit about that we have a Battlefield title coming next year, but we're not in a position right now to talk about our development plans and our SKU plan long term," said EA Labels president Frank Gibeau during EA's earnings call last night (transcribed by Seeking Alpha).

"That will come in about 90 days when we get to show you some Battlefield stuff."

http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/battlefield_4/news/battlefield_4_reveal_due_in_about_90_days.html

So why would I be excited about that? Well, GDC is before the 90 days and it's becoming more and more accepted that MS's Durango and Sony's Orbis will be showed off there and this has some more fuel in dat fire.

There was a leak from EA China too that was assumed fake, but it called almost every detail of the last BF3 DLC, so now it's believed to be real. PEEP DIS:

Lasgana: commander system comes back
Lasgana: profile can be linked with other devices like ipad
Lasgana: auto login, need internet all time, support cloud saves (NOTE FROM HASNEY: Likely to be PC only for the online all the time... I hope for your guys sake anyway)
Lasgana: easier to pickup the game, to take care of players from CoD
Lasgana: better battlelog integration and better stats reporting
Lasgana: supports video playback and sharing
Lasgana: have gem store for dlc and other stuff like that
Lasgana: 3 factions: russia, usa and china
Lasgana: can deploy female soliders
Lasgana: frostbite 2.0 engine
Lasgana: pc, ps4 and xbox 720 supports 64 player maps
Lasgana: 360 and ps3 will be less
Lasgana: pc, ps4 and 720 will provide 60 fps
Lasgana: bf4 will use 80% of power of frostbite 2, wheras bf3 only 30-40%
Lasgana: modern setting

Battlefield 4 should have splitscreen play, at least two people should head online and rock. Me and my roomy taking turns on BF is the one thing we dislike the most. And I don't wanna hear anything about technical limitations with Sony and Microsoft's dick size contest letting specs "leak" to the public.

The next gaming generation, for me, is the generation of no excuses.

According to DICE, the reason there is no Wii U version is not due to anything bad with the Wii U itself but because they are "playing it safe" with the development.

Also implies the differences between the current and next gen console versions won't be that great (besides graphics) unlike Battlefield 3 was between the PC and Xbox 360/PS3.

“I think overall for me as creative director, number one is to deliver a really great game and experience. Sometimes, at least for us, it’s focus on what you do well and what you know well, and ensure that you deliver something good than trying a bit too much, stretching yourself too thin and risking it,” Gustavsson told VideoGamer. “I’d rather play it safe, deliver something really good and then look at the future and what could possibly be done than trying a bit too hard and then, flat.”

Fignuts

08-22-2013, 05:13 PM

Oh god yes. Was recently in a game where I drove tanks the whole game capping points like a boss. But the awesome part was I took down 4 choppers in motion from fairly decent distance, and finally a jet. All with the regular cannon.

Got 1st place, and felt like an absolute beast.

Kalyx triaD

08-22-2013, 05:35 PM

There was a run I did from one capture point to another that, and I'm not boasting here, had me looking like an Expendable. My old roommate also had one of the most action packed motorcycle chases of an enemy taking his flag I ever seen in a game. It even ended in a one on one shootout before a team helicopter got involved for an epic save.

I love battlefield.

Battlefield 4‘s China Rising expansion will be available to Battlefield Premium members from December 3, according to a Premium content calendar found in the game.

Users who are not Premium members will be able to get their hands on the content two weeks later. The expansion will be available for free for all non-premium customers who pre-ordered at a participating retailer.

China Rising is one of five expansions slated for Battlefield 4 and adds four maps set across ”the vast and majestic Chinese mainland,” in addition to new vehicles and equipment, according to a description in the content calender.

The game’s first expansion, Second Assault, is set to release as a timed-exclusive alongside the Xbox One on November 22 and contains four re-imagined fan-favorite maps from Battlefield 3.

The next gen comparisons for this are out:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=706243 (just stick to the original post. Video game forum mutants are out in full force in the replies)

To me it's odd. PS4 clearly has the technical advantage rendering at 900p vs the XBone at 720p as well as better quality textures, but the AA used in the PS4 version makes everything look like they've smeared butter over everything and I don't really like that.

The PS3 version has an option to turn the AA off, so I'm hoping this follows suit.

Game freezes randomly. Server searches aren't working well. Ye be warned.

Fucking blast when you're in, though. Having a good squad is still hard to come by, even though literally goes out of it's way to promote teamwork. Your perks (done as a fighting game-like meter) don't even activate unless you work with your team. People still suck ass.

I have yet to boot up Ghosts, but have loved giving my time to Battlefield this year. I think the game is fundamentally the same, but smaller things (like showing a kill cam that highlights the enemy that took you out) greatly improves the pacing.

During the TPWW blackout me and Kalyx ran a few games together that were down to the wire. Its a rush man.

None of the maps in this are really grabbing me in the same way as some of the BF3 maps did. Not really experienced any of the really intense fights you used to get on maps like Operation Metro, Grand Bazaar or Seine Crossing. Maybe in time.

At least Operation Metro is getting redone for one of the DLC packs. How I love that map.

Also, what is the best mode to level up in? Way behind everyone else in unlocks and such, and I want to catch up.

Kalyx triaD

03-29-2014, 04:56 AM

Domination, the infantry conquest. Feels like CoD how many times you'll die, but you'll find a fucker every second. Playing Conquest correctly will net MAJOR points, too. You don't even have to win.

Conquest - points, general lvl ups.
Domination - weapons unlocks, add-ons.
Rush - Vehicle unlocks

alvarado52

03-29-2014, 05:00 AM

Yeah, Dom is easily the fastest...expect to die often, but the sheer amount of action means you'll get points quicker than Conquest, which you can be idle for minutes at a time.

Fignuts

03-29-2014, 05:01 AM

Assume playing conquest correctly means capping points, using your kits special equipment, spotting enemies, etc.

alvarado52

03-29-2014, 05:04 AM

I wouldnt even touch Conquest unless you're feeling up to it.

Dom will net big points, as well as some pretty solid gun unlocks if you stick to the stronger short ranged ones.

For vehicle unlocks, i'd put Rush at the top of my list. Maps are smaller, fights are more concentrated.

Fignuts

03-29-2014, 05:04 AM

lol yeah, tried to sneak around the edges of the map like a cool guy to get to one of their points. 10 minutes of solid snake sneaking just to get sniped as I got to the CP.

At least I spotted a bunch of shit on the way.

alvarado52

03-29-2014, 05:06 AM

Also, if you plan on getting Premium, dont worry about unlocking pistols, shotguns, dmrs, or grenades, as they currently have shortcut kits free to those who subscribe.

03-29-2014, 05:07 AM

I got really nasty with the tanks in BF3. Was taking choppers out of the sky at distance, and even caught a jet once.

Committed to learning how to fly shit in this game. They need like a private match that you can use to just fuck around and practice flying.

alvarado52

03-29-2014, 05:07 AM

Dom and TDM are truthfully the best for getting points, simply because they make the maps so much smaller that its impossible NOT to get into a gun fight every 30-45 seconds. Youll die often, but youll kill just as often, so you take the good with the bad on those.

Kalyx triaD

This is me we're talking about, though. Not to be cocky or anything.

On X1 you would need a squad for those bumps since there's less food to go around with 60+ guys running around, but it's possible. Just gotta find where the party is and claim the land.

Fignuts

03-30-2014, 01:33 AM

Kalyx isn't wrong. Actually a lot easier to cap points in last gen BF. On Xboxone, it seems theres always somebody around to contest the cap. That's certainly not a bad thing though.

Fignuts

03-30-2014, 01:36 AM

I don't remember what map it was, but me and like 9 other dudes on my team had a shoot out across a canal with around the same number of guys on the opposing team. 3 man squads would go over and try and flank them and they did the same. All the while, copters are battling in the sky, and tanks are blowing shit up nearby.

Fucking 64 player battlefield is the fucking shit.

Fignuts

03-30-2014, 05:27 AM

Fuck, do you not get as much XP for capping points in dom?

I leveled up like a beast in BF 3 playing close quarters servers, but I'm only averageing 2500 points a game here, despite having 6-10 caps a game. K/D is awful, but I thought that came second to the objectives.

Might stick to large battle game modes since I was getting more XP that way.
