Is it possible to have BF4, and basically any game via Origin, installed on a different disk than what your OS is on? Like Steam.

Open Orgin go to Application Settings. Then click on Advanced. It'll bring up this screen. Then send it where ever you want it. You can even have different Orgin games on different Disks.
I have BF4 all by it's lonesome on my C drive. I stick everything else on E.

Second Assault was apparently finished maybe even before China Rising, considering Xbox owners are already playing it.

I didn't say it being finished or not finished as the reason as to why I doubt it coming out this soon. Simply just that the games been out just over a month and we already got 1 DLC. BF3 it took them a few months to get us the first DLC.

Yeah I hope not. I need to use my money for Christmas before I buy myself more shit :ohwell:

I've been playing on XB1 and it currently has China Rising and Second Assault released. I'm sure some of that has to do with the XB1 launch, plus Microsoft MoneyLube(tm).

I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but the Premium timeline shows all of the DLC being released by next December, which makes me incredibly suspicious that EA is going to attempt to make BF a yearly franchise. That would break my heart.

I liked BF3 (even though I didn't play it too much), but got really pissed off how soon was BF4 released. You basically are not given any choice but to buy the next game, because majority of servers simply disappear. If the same shit happens again, I sure as hell will not be buying BF5 just so I can continue playing something.

Why not, they deserve the money but the game should be at premium levels like World of Warcraft.
I think what they basically do right now is sell us development products that "work". I really can't believe its some random shit that they released shanghai for beta test and suddenly its THE CRASH map of a full game, unless you start messing deep within the game engine.

They must have done a marketing test and it turned out that its more profitable to release new hyped titles each 2 years that look good but are shit in quality rather than make a solid base (ex. Team Fortress) and evolve the game content.

Dice posted a bug tracker, you can't argue that a lot of these bugs are visible right out of the box...

They do? I was under a very different impression for the first few weeks of it being released

Oh look here........gee again Mailman was right.....AGAIN but will receive no validation from TPU.

Of course they didn't put any other projects on hold. That implies that the same people who work on BF4 also work on their other projects, which I sincerely doubt, especially when you compare the likes of Mirror's Edge and BF4. They just said what they needed to say to make people think they were actually putting effort into fixing the game, so the thousands of whiney people would shut up for just a moment.

I don't care much for game/publisher politics. I just like to man-handle big shootaz into other burly men's faces.

I know/knew that. But people were using it as an excuse for MANY things. I just like to rub it into peoples faces that the crazy man from Florida was right again.

Now you'll see responses on how I was wrong with a bunch of semantic side steps and dodges. But they know in the end I WAS RIGHT.....as usual.

People use anything as an excuse for anything else. It's like the golden rule of internet-tinfoil-hatters. The percentage of common-sense to human being ratio on the internet becomes a little more than murky, especially when faced with self-entitled "end users".

Should probably get back to discussing how cool it was to blow a virtual man to pieces with various unending supplies of arms.

Castiel · Dec 11, 2013

Well guys, after getting some new parts yesterday I am now able to play BF4 beautifully. Though I am using the "Ultra" preset I do see that It's not what I was expecting. Does it get better if I crank up the AA, visually? Though I am seeing a lot of buggy parts of the map. Is that just an issue everyone is experiencing?

Before I was using my AMD rig, I could play it on low with an average frame rate of 42. Now I am getting an average of 38 frps.

Actually, I meant how fast they release new games. They forced me to buy BF4 when I was still enjoying BF3 and probably would for some more months. But considering how number of servers declined, I had no choice. Not that I regret buying BF4, no, it's awesome - but it came a bit too early than I would have liked.

Well BF3 was already two years old. That's half the life of a normal console cycle......used to be anyway. I would be happy with a new BF every three years with DLC in between. They were going to flip flop between BF and MOH each year but the last MOH was more of a flop than a flip. I think EA might be replacing it with Titan Fall depending on its reception. It doesn't matter, expect a new BF every two years until the cow is dead.

There are still tons of servers going. I even play BFBC2 and find plenty to go to. They aren't forcing us to do anything. They releases these around fall just before the Holiday because of marketing and to wait 3 years when they are pretty close to release is not a good marketing strategy. I went to BF4 from 3 because of the new engine and destruction. If it wasn't for that I would of stayed put for awhile longer.

TheMailMan78 · Dec 11, 2013

Lets face it. BF4 is what BF3 should have been. In saying that its BF 3.5. HOWEVER we all know why we upgraded to BF4. Because deep down below all the civility and tameness of a modern society we like to destroy and blow things up.......and to a deeper level have territorial battle which ends in death. The closer a game can being us to these primitive emotions the thinner our wallet will become. BF4 allows us to destroy more in a competitive environment than any game before it. When BF5 comes out and allows us to beat a player to death with key strokes we will upgrade again. Why do you think stabbing someone is so satisfying? Animals all of you. ANIMAILS! I love it!

Some men want to see the world burn? I would argue ALL men want to see the world burn at some level. You will all buy BF5 and this record will play again as you satisfy that nasty lil' demon in your soul that says "This is my space, and I'm going to kill anyone who isn't part of my clan". Man fights as a pack, feeds as a pack and dies as a pack. Video games just stir these emotions in our DNA. Battlefield does it the best to date. So cry yourselves to sleep. You are nothing but tribal thugs with electricity and a slave to whatever harkens back to an era of men acting like men and not chimps in suits. You WILL BUY BF5.

Can't that wait until your Sunday Sermon :roll:

You are probably right though. It is what levels us out so we don't melt down at work and become a headline. Though they like to pin that crazy shit to gaming as much as possible. I think just the opposite myself. :peace:

I agree for the most part. BF3 let me down a lot, not to say I didn't have a good time with it. But it wasn't the game I was looking for to follow up BC2 which I absolutely loved. BF4 sets the series back on the track it should have been on. Some of the maps don't drive me crazy, but to see more destruction back is nice. And I do enjoy the weather elements on some maps changing as tickets dwindle.
