battlefield 4

[Stolenwaffle]

I preordered BF4 on the PS3 but I am curious to see if there will be any other PS3 user getting this game for the PS3. Let me know it will be the first battlefield game I have played and don't think playing it by myself will be much fun since it seems like most people here play it on the XBOC.

[iamthesgt]

I'm sure there will be. The PS3 side of BF3 was really big and active for awhile.

[Port66]

Yeah the ps3 side is actually pretty hog in battlefield just that they don't all post as much. They are busy playing lol.

Believe me I'm the same way...I'm not one to wait around. The only thing that that is allowing me to wait is the fact that I have never played the game.

So basically no one plays BF on the PS3. I know some do but not at the numbers of the XBOC so I might have to rethink getting it.

Ummm...where did you get that? Right now, the BF3 players are at a low point, but I'm pretty sure we'll have a bunch for BF4. A lot of the PS3-side Battlefield players aren't super active on the forums.

I think we are at a low point because BF3 has been out for almost 2 years. It says something about a game when their is a following for that long.

Oh you can bet your ass we will be playing BF4 on PS3!!!! I may actually be doing this on PC as well, depending on how good the game will really be. We had a smoking BF3 Platoon. I just checked battlelog and we are at 63 members, although a lot are inactive in game, or due to the inactivity are still part of USMG, but playing actively with another group. Check it out. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/platoon/2832655240981119785/

I already preordered it for PS3 for both me and my boy. I really hope when it comes out there are more of y'all playing so I have better people to play with instead of some 16 year old who has watched the new GI Joe movies and thinks he knows ground warfare tactics.

one day my 17 year old son ask me what it was like to get old. I told him "well son I will let you know when I get old"

thats possible, the first guy didnt even offer the tags, my buddy a fellow vet who works there came over and said I get them with my preorder.

[HAVOK]

I got NOTHING. I'm pissed now

[Ragingclue]

I will probably be getting it for PS3. I've typically done PC in the past but our presence there is much thinner and the issues (bugginess depending on HW setup, script kiddies) have pretty much driven me to the console.

BUT it really is hard to deny that if you have a good rig, BF3 is pretty freaking amazing. I wonder if BF4 will be optimized for PC, or if it will be a console port with a low ceiling for graphics... Admittedly, I haven't read up on it at all whatsoever yet.

Well the new Xbox is a pc basically, its windows 8 without the desktop. They said it will help pc game developers cross to Xbox easier.

[tw0sh0t2112]

I'm really torn. I want the PS4 but I don't know if I'm going to take the dive right off the bat. And I know I'll want to play with the group again. So I may just get it for the PS3 and then later when the PS4 comes out and I cash in my retirement to buy it all. heh

EA Announces Battlefield 4 Premium And Cross-Generation Stat Transfer

EA and DICE have announced that Battlefield 4 (http://www.gameinformer.com/games/battlefield_4/b/pc/archive/2013/07/25/battlefield-4-augmented-with-battlelog.aspx) will enable players to start progress on a current-gen system and carry over to a new console. At the end of July, the Battlefield Twitter account mentioned this was under consideration after Madden and FIFA declared similar plans.

In addition, EA unsurprisingly revealed that its lucrative Battlefield Premium season pass program will be present in Battlefield 4. Along with players' progress, content awarded from a Premium will carry over to next generation consoles.

This follows on the heels of Microsoft announcing that Premium and the Call of Duty: Ghost season pass will carry from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. Other titles may join this program.

EA recognized $120 million in the final quarter of fiscal year 2013 related to deferred Premium payments.

Our Take
No one is surprised that Battlefield 4 is getting the season pass-like Premium program. The revenue was simply too important to EA, which was able to monetize Battlefield 3 for almost two years. Being able to transfer that content and the stats is important for players, but far more important to EA. The publisher wants you to buy early and, if possible, multiple copies.

Yep. No surprise here. If they would let you transfer between Xbox and PC, then I'd get an Xbox copy. But no such luck I suspect.

The Road to Battlefield 4: Tweaked to the Core 08.15.13

In this second post in “The Road to Battlefield 4” blog series, we dive deeper into the Field Upgrade system and how we are tweaking the core gameplay to allow for more diversity in combat roles. Also: Vote for your favorite upgrade path and we’ll build it and submit it so it makes it into Battlefield 4 at launch!

Last week, we discussed how nearly all elements In Battlefield 4’s multiplayer work to bring out the best team player in you. This week, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Field Upgrades and discuss how we’re tweaking Battlefield 4 based on the massive amounts of feedback and data that 1 billion hours of Battlefield 3 play time has given us. Here to take you through the nitty-gritty of these mechanics is Core Gameplay Designer Alan Kertz.

Meet the crew
Allow us to proudly present the first group shot of Battlefield 4’s multiplayer kits, showing the Assault, Recon, Engineer, and Support kits from the Russian, U.S. and Chinese armies. Based on the multiplayer map in question, you’ll be able to choose from two of these three factions (and if you run your own server, we’ll let you pick and choose the opposing teams at your leisure.)

http://blogscdn.battlefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MP_Character_Profiles_CH_large_wm.jpg
Meet the Chinese squad from Battlefield 4 with a sample setup of weapons and gear.
Going into Battlefield 4, we knew we wanted to take the four playable classes from Battlefield 3 as a starting point. We’ve tweaked them to be more versatile and more highly specialized within their fields. Now more than ever, you can explore a wide range of combat roles and sub-roles when picking your load out and kit.

http://blogscdn.battlefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MP_Character_Profiles_RU_large_wm.jpg
The Russian Support, Engineer, Recon, and Assault Kit are waiting for you in Battlefield 4
For example, this time around the Engineer has a lot more variation in anti-vehicle weapons. We’ve also revamped the way we do vehicle disables and guided weapon systems to give the Engineer a broader set of tactics at his disposal. This includes everything from high damage weapons that may be more challenging to use (like RPG-7V2) to fire-and-forget smart weapons with low damage (like the MBT LAW), and the fan favorite Wire Guided Engineer Missile (the FGM-172 SRAW) that you might recognize from Battlefield 2.

http://blogscdn.battlefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/MP_Character_Profiles_US_large_wm.jpg
Meet the U.S. playable kits from Battlefield 4, showcasing a sample of gear and weapons
The Support kit has a few more offensive options, and thanks to community feedback will retain his C4 and Claymores from Battlefield 3. The XM25 gives him some nice indirect suppressive fire, a redesigned remote mortar allows him to use indirect fire from a distance, and the ability to equip carbines and DMRs gives him an added versatility in combat roles.

Recon has gotten a much needed boost to mobility, as well as the return of the Spec Ops play style from Battlefield 2. Pack a carbine, C4 (or Claymores), and Motion Sensors and you’re good to go behind enemy lines. Fans of more traditional sniping roles will enjoy our revamped sniping mechanics with rebalanced Sniper Rifles, the ability to zero your sights (set an aiming distance), and additional optics and accessories. Finally, the Recon players can still utilize the MAV, T-UGS, and Radio Beacon to help out their team.

Assault is still the frontline run-and-gun kit that also serves the role of combat medic. This was one of the major changes in Battlefield 3 compared to Battlefield 2, and one that players have really appreciated. Assault is still the go-to kit with med kits and defibrillators but has picked up some additional mobility with the First Aid Pack, which heals a single soldier over time, or the 40mm Flash Bang rounds to help clear rooms.

The Quest for Mobility
One of the main quests for the team when developing Battlefield 4 was to create a more mobile Battlefield. Squad players became very mobile in Battlefield 3 and we saw a gap where some of the more team play focused gadgets required players to sit still. We adjusted this by tailoring the kits, the gadgets, and the available specializations.

As far as gadgets go, we’re allowing for stronger team play on the move by introducing all-new gadgets like the Portable Laser Designator, and adding new portable First Aid and Ammo Packs. These packs now allow Assault and Support players to top off a single teammate’s health or ammo on the move, while the traditional Ammo Box and Med Kit keep their stationary area heal and resupply roles. In the case of the Portable Laser Designator, it’s designed as a SOFLAM for the Recon on the run – allowing you to quickly laser designate targets without the longer setup time of a SOFLAM (with the tradeoff of not being able to deploy it and have it auto-designate targets for you.)

Suppressing Fire!
No one single gameplay mechanic has been as frequently discussed as the suppression system in Battlefield 3. Suppression will return in Battlefield 4, but we’re redesigning it based on your extensive feedback while keeping the intense feeling of being under fire that a system like Suppression provides.

We’re increasing the suppression effect of Light Machine Guns, exclusive to the Support kit, while other weapons are less suppressive. Additionally, we’ve decreased suppression at close range to ensure that close quarters battles always focus sharply on player skill. Besides changing the visual effects of suppression, we’re also replacing the accuracy penalty in Battlefield 3 with a scope sway effect – similar to what snipers get in Battlefield 3 while suppressed. A skilled, focused player can keep his aim on target and get hits, even while under the effects of Suppression.

Overall, we believe we have a great-performing suppression system in Battlefield 4 that doesn’t interfere in close quarters combat, while at the same time allowing for skilled players of the Support kit to really make a difference. Laying down covering fire as Support means your frontline runners can gain a crucial momentum in medium-range combat and still allows you to combat the improved long-range options we’ve given players who prefer to stay back at long range.

[HAVOK]

My least favorite thing about BF3 was being suppressed and KNOWING my shots were still center mass, yet missing. Glad their tweaking that.
