    All i hope for with BF4 is
    Vastly better gun sounds [to me sounds are hugely important in any game] gun sounds in BF3 all sounded similar and nowhere near meaty enough.
    Tone down the dust and stuff blowing about to restrict your view [never could get why they do that].
    Less WTF moments when your just killed for no reason with the silly "bad luck" message.
    Tone down the silly suppression.

    I admit to only watching a few gameplay videos, mostly the recent ones from Frankie @1080 AnderZel and a few more.
    It does look like suppression is reduced and the dusk particles graphical effects designed to hamper your view are toned down too.
    Sounds? its hard to say as most videos have the usual talk over.
    I did hear a lot of radio chatter talk that sounded too similar to BF3,hope that changes.

    Suppression will only come from Lmg's and sniper rifles. And I agree 100% about the gun sounds, played BC2 recently, dat sniper sound. Properly heavy.

    Most of the audio in the builds that have been out and played have been placeholder stuff from BF3.

    Fairfight might be interesting although it was trialed in BF3 and if you search youtube you'll see vids of people complaining about false positives. If it helps to kick or harass more cheaters then it's a good thing

    doesnt look like we can proxy cheat early access like we did with bf3 beta :(

    there appears to be one set clock on origin for beta launch.


    though I hope we can cheat it for the full retail launch, just cause I can knock the single player on its head before the game is officially out and then when I dont need to worry about battlelog kicking me off when the proxy fails jump right into multiplayer

    also lets not get too excited for the beta lets have a reminder of what sort of crap we dealt with when we got into bf3: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056403444

    Think of it as everyone getting in early, rather than you can't cheat the system to get in early ;)

    The WTF 'bad luck' moments are the price we pay for destructable environments.
    Most of the time this happens, is because somone shoots the building beside you with a rocket and a part of the wall falls on you.

    I'd say this will be more common in BF4 than BF3 if the environments are more destructable.

    It's annoying, but that's war

    For Premium players, those who bought Medal of Honor Warfighter and those who preordered a digital copy (PC).

    If you don't qualify for today then you have to wait till Friday.
