Anyone else having issues with friendly tags not always showing up until you point at a player, or spam Q near them? The result all too often is a TK and it doesnt even tell the shooter they killed a friendly.

Im not sure if its some kind of "feature" or something, but its really annoying!

The game though, awesome and stunningly beautiful and the sounds, well I didnt think they could top BF3, but this is something else.

Never in my gaming life, and Ive been gaming since the Acorn Electron and ZX Spectrum, have I see such a huge improvement from a beta to the launch version. Like two different games.

MajesticDonkey · 01-11-2013 3:08am

THIS GAME IS BLOODY AWESOME

That is all...

anyone order bf4 for ps3 and talk to gamestop yet about upgrading to the ps4 version of the game on it's release? supposed to be E15 but knowing gamestop it'll be more.

mozattack · 01-11-2013 11:07am

Hi, anyone know when we can see Second Assault live? I am actually dying to see the new metro....could be incredible?

I'd like to see the outdoors path extended down the map to the park, i.e. when moving from B to the Russian Deployment and taking the left exit there is a void there which would be good possibly for that

Is that €15 with the PS3 copy as a trade in or do you get to have both copies?
The former isn't much of an incentive to buy the PS3 version for me anyway.

You have two options. If your game has a code you can buy a digital upgrade from Sony for a tenner and you keep bf4 for ps3 and download it for ps4.

Or trade it in game stop for 15 for a new boxed ps4 copy.

just out of gamestop now. you have 30 days from the day of purchase of bf4 on ps3 to trade it in plus add E15 to get bf4 on the ps4. Or just keep your disx and do a digital download for E10 to your ps4

Just picked up my preorder from xtravision and was given a bag full of random bf4 branded stuff - tshirt, choccie bar, keychain bottle opener, mini first aid kit, emergency poncho.
Gonna be a long day at work now, must try and slope off early if I can

Me too except mine contained, the drawstring bag, the chocolate bar, a bottle of lucozade orange, the chocolate bar, a lanyard and the bottle opener. Oh and of course the dog tags. From Gamestop. Wasn't expecting anything bonus so delighted with it!

Id like it if they could expand the map to include bits of Seine Crossing seeing as the Russian spawn in Metro is essentially the back of the building that the Russians spawn beside in Seine.

Probably not feasible, but it'd be nice if they tried it.

ShadowHearth · 01-11-2013 1:54pm

Is it me, or there is quite a lack of servers? I managed to get in to few, but there are some lag issues etc.

After playing some more multiplayer, I can believe how good maps are. These maps are huge improvement over BF3.

fl4pj4ck · 01-11-2013 2:08pm

plenty of them for me, with fantastic pings too (28+)

a lot of people havent bought/upgraded servers because they're only getting the game today

multiplayer is buggy sometimes and needs a patch

Yeah maps are better its amazing what happens when the 360/ps3 arent considered during level design

Are you using the server browser?

Also, you can reduce your latency by reducing the 'Network Smoothing Factor' in Options>Gameplay.

Aye, I am. As NTMK said, good few servers have not updated yet. I will try to lower that latency thing too.

By reducing it, some visuals mightn't be as good, such as gamertags above peoples heads but it's not too bad.

For those having some stuttering issues/graphical issues this video tutorial helped me out

odd thing.

My game had been running damn well (considering my system) when I initially started playing, and today I thought I'd do what was suggested in this video just to see if it makes things even better.

I had no stuttering issues prior to this

now I do.

I feel like an idiot, should have left what was working well alone.

I can run the game in ultra in single player and work with about 40fps

but multiplayer I keep things in high or medium and normally this gave me 60-70fps steady

today I was dipping constantly into the 40s and 30s, especially on parasal storm.

maps like dawnbreaker were fine for the most part and the really odd part was my fps improved when the storm started, prior in fully sunny happy weather...it was awful.

Will do some experimenting poking etc.

Hellrazer · 01-11-2013 8:16pm

Im running a fairly crappy machine and honestly this has been released with a decent degree of optimisation.

My specs

Athlon 2 x4 @ 3.3
Radeon 6870
4gb Ram
Windows 7

Nothing to write home about but playing at 1680x1050 at High settings and getting a solid 60 fps.Some maps Im dropping to 50 but this is more playable than BF3 was when it was released.

BlitzKrieg · 01-11-2013 8:24pm

heh, sort of solved my issues

it seems the old beta trick of setting bf4 to run in low priority does the trick to counter whatever ****wit action I did with those directx drivers.

hopefully mantel will be much smoother with my 7870.

my specs

amd phenom x4 955

12 gig ram

radeon hd 7870

I can run the campaign with everything on ultra and it is very playable. But not to the standard one would need to be competitive online

the training field is a damn poor test bed for fps cause I get over 120 fps when I run around there when in game it sticks at 60fps when I'm running 1920X1080 with a mix of high and medium with AA off and dynamic lighting (hbao, ssao) off aswell

tempted to drop my resolution down a smidge if it actually improves performance.

Anyone have a link where I can see second assault on Xbox from tonight?

Caspian looks the same!!!! "!""

Played Rush tonight, they removed the icon when as defender you know your team was disarming. Annoying

Also have the arming sound so low I find it hard to know what is going on

tim3000 · 01-11-2013 10:33pm

I wish they had kept the little icon that told you where your at-mines were planted and if they were destroyed. Anyone else noticing it freezing similar to the metro freeze on specific maps that Hainian map in particular (Xbox). Vehicles don't handle as smoothly as Id like

ShadowHearth · 01-11-2013 10:50pm

Well, I honestly LOVE it. Its definitely not a BF 3.1 The Test Island is such a great IDEA. I finally was able to fly some helicopters and learn the basics. Now I have a lot more confidence in real games.

Its gets thumbs from me and "Shadowhearts seal of approval!" :cool:

What a game. Playing on ps3. First real crack at battlefield. Hard to get to grips with but enjoying it. Any good servers for it in ps3 ?

Get a pc or buy ps4 xbone when they come out and see how you like 64 player mayhem

5uspect · 02-11-2013 1:12am

I'm not too sure about it - I need to play more.

I like the new weapons and increased variety but I find the colours saturated to the point of looking cartoony at times. Also the orange fill in the killcam is the worst thing ever.

Timmyctc · 02-11-2013 1:14am

Agree with the killcam thign there. Although I'm only playing on ps3 to tide me over till next gen. I HATE the way the damage has been increased/health has been decreased exponentially.

3wayswitch · 02-11-2013 1:21am

Absolutely loving BF4 so far but I seem to be constantly getting disconnected tonight, so I've decided to take a break from playing and make my first ever emblem for a game:

I think you can watch it from the live event player from earlier... It should be on the dashboard.

Timmyctc · 02-11-2013 3:01am

The more I've played it the better my opinion of it has become, however, the reduced TTK really irks me still. Corner camping was never an issue in previous BFs because any semi skilled player could usually get the turn on a player camping in a corner but it seemed really prevalent in the games I played today. I hope its just limited to the current gen consoles. Can't imagine a 32/64 player game having that issue.

antodeco · 02-11-2013 3:06am

Played it for 6 hours tonight. Really love the big maps. A few small annoyances. I keep getting stuck on random crap on the maps. My guy doesn't jump over them and I end up getting shot! My tank got stuck on the top checkpoint in the dish map. Eventually just blew my way out of it

Easily solved by playing like a man, on hardcore! Kill cams, health regen, 100% health is a sorry sad state of affairs.

mozattack · 02-11-2013 9:54am

Played a six hour session on PS3. Overall excellent, especially

- medic train over, only got revived 4 times in 6 hrs

- ttk is a little longer in Beta, actually perfect now... running and gunning shod be done with more caution

- really love recon now, great fun using pld and sniping or c4 and motion balls

- weather in Paracel Storm is amazing

- relied system in vehicles is excellent

On a negative the graphics on ps3 are a struggle

I think he is saying it's too easy to die in which case hardcore means he will die quicker. For some reason he mentions you should be able to turn around and shoot someone who started shooting you in the back. That's the last thing bf needs.

Nah that guy he was talking to was someone else. I was mentioning the vastly reduced ttk. It removes a certain degree of gunplay from the game was my point. Im not gonna be all snarky cause maybe I phrased it poorly but in bf3 and bfbc2 if someone got the jump on you but was fairly inaccurate you could take them down first if you were accurate and quick.

With the reduced ttk this is less common imo as I've been killed by spray and pray more often than usual. I'm not saying this as someone who is useless at the game or anything. I quite pride myself in being the top 0% in different categories in bf3 for varying periods of time :pac: Its just I find myself dying more often.

Add a black circle, a yellow circle, and another black circle and stretch them out to look like this:

Then just add some yellow circles and boxes over the inner black circle to shape out the Batman logo like this (I've coloured the shapes different colours so you can see them better)

Nah, we're getting posts confused. I was just simply complaining about some of the graphics and the orange fill in the killcam. BTW I do like hardcore, but everyone is playing everything and anything now so it's irrelevant.

Anyhoo since we're talking about ttk - I don't know yet, I haven't played enough, though I need to work on my accuracy. Certainly I would hold up TF2 as a game where there's a bit more of a 'dance' with an opponent with much slower weapons etc.
