FRONT STABBINBG IN THE MULTI VIDEO!!
Yeah with the gravity from the lift of the elevator will save on leg fatigue NUTZ!

TheLaughingMan · Jun 11, 2013

So we got destructable skyscrappers (which happens in the middle of a round), counter knifing, 5 man squads (one squad can only have 3), and better stuff all around. Glad I got that pre-order

MxPhenom 216 · Jun 11, 2013

so funny when the Caleb guy posts or participates at all on tpu forums is to nitpick stuff about battlefield.

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 11, 2013

Yeah well some people are impossible to please. Could be worse; yesterday had to call out some bitter (or blind) fool on OCN who had the audacity to call it another expansion to BF3 and compare the franchise to COD. I mean wtf does he want/expect?

Another guy said he thought there wasn't much more they could do with BF multiplayer but now "I guess I was wrong". That's more how I feel and not just being a fanboy. Was genuinely impressed. BF4 is not revolutionary but they continue to add, improve and innovate (unlike you-know-who).

Also what did TLM mean exactly by "one squad can only have 3"?

I don't know but commander mode is sweet. just hope a friend is the commander not some random.

I'm gonna supply drop all over Crazyeyes's back.

Apparently live gameplay upcoming:

May have missed it live; link posted an hour ago.

Edit: Going again now; just regular joes from the show floor are playing.

Edit2: Ooooh didn't realize yesterday that the "counterattack" shot which looks like a desert environment is the Shanghai map in the debris of the collapsed skyscraper!

32 players per side/5 per squad = 6 full squads remainder 2? Highway math.

Battlefield 3 Close Quarters at no cost. can someone explain this

Do we get to keep it for ever or just a week ?

I never got any expansions.

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 11, 2013

No it's just like how Black Ops 7 (kidding, kidding) is free on Steam for a weekend now and then, for example. Everyone can play CQ "during E3".

Good multiplay still happening right now on that link I posted.

Well I was looking at a one team having all 64 players. My bad. Corrected math means (with commanders) there will be two guys (one each team) with no squad assuming all squads are full.

TheLaughingMan · Jun 11, 2013

Side arms can be fired while swimming. You can dive underwater and swim for short distances to avoid being spotted or shot.

MxPhenom 216 · Jun 12, 2013

Watching the live stream seems pretty sweet. Huge map!

This is all pre-alpha too.

The building that falls in the middle of the map changes the cap point too that was up in the building before. And there a bridge controls as well for the 2 bridges meeting to the center.

mastrdrver · Jun 12, 2013

So anyone notice anything that stood out to them in the multiplayer live steam?

I know the map looks a lot bigger then I thought it would end up. Really nice to see you will probably be able to enter all those buildings to some degree.

MxPhenom 216 · Jun 12, 2013

Looks like there is 2 versions of sprint. One where you are running and gun is still pointing out forward, and the other normal one like in the current BF3.

EDIT: NVM maybe not.

There was a strange location on the map marked 'N' that was a box icon instead of a circle. Not sure if that was the uncap or commander assets.

Found this interesting over on reddit: Spent about 40 mins total playing Battlefield 4 today, feel free to ask me any questions and I will try to answer them.

Small thing id like to highlight from that post.

And another. After all the info this guy is spewing. It is sounding pretty amazing. The fact you can dive and swim under water while wielding your pistol is sweet!

After reading what he said.. I'm going to pre-order it to get beta access! It's only $10 more dollars anyway. When does beta start?

I think it would be a good idea to see who all pre-ordered, and will have beta access. What do you guys think, or do you feel I'm jumping the gun? Oh and of course it's up to TMM to want to do it. I know you don't work from home now so I don't know if you have time? :

you automatically get beta access if you are a BF3 Premium User.

Yea, I don't have BF3 Premium access.. I've made it a rule not to buy dice's DLC.. Because of all the DLC or there so called "Booster pack" (Armored Fury, Euro Force, Special Force, etc..) that I've purchased in the past that nobody played.. I've actually totally stopped playing BF3, because of hackers and there VOIP doesn't work, and I don't want to have to use Teamspeak or ventrilo... :toast:
