OFFICIAL Battlefield 4 (Discussion)

[FreedomEclipse]

I dont exactly play BF3 much as I dont have that much time off no more. I dont have that many friends that play either apart from 1 or 2 others. TPU is about the most fun ive had as part of a squad/team when it comes to playing BF3 and my friend who I invited to join in a few times enjoyed jumping in for a few rounds too despite not really enjoying the 'nerdy' tech talk that went on whilst in game

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yea, I've played long enough to know what's hacking and what's lag in a game. These guys where taking multiple clips emptied into them and nothing happen.. One guy was even bragging.. His score was 144 kills with 14 deaths.. and he would just unload with the lmg and kill everybody with all head shots... He even had players on his team telling him to leave, because he was killing everyone..

Ok but the example you give is one of the totally over-the-top and obvious ones which are pretty rare (I've seen once in almost two years). Besides, emptying a clip into someone and it having no effect is exactly the type of thing that lag and lost packets could cause. In fact, such happened to me the one time I was actually accused of hacking. I could feel the lag as soon as this guy and I encountered one another and we both emptied our clips in each other but I was able to finish him off only because I carry a P90 with 51 rounds.

Also, in that situation, why does anyone stay on the server? Like this guy is going to listen to anyone, his team or not. His whole point is to troll and ruin others fun.

Battlefieldo - Alpha files show off feats

Spoiler

After leaking out to the web, a text dump file shows many features that Battlefield 4 will have. Though this list is most likely far from finalized (these are just alpha files), it does show off some of the weapons, optics, vehicles, and equipment we can look forward to. A small bonus on at the end that you'll only find here.

Seems flashbangs will be making a return since they went missing the past few Battlefield titles. You can look through the objects here. Enjoy!

Played Battlefield 3 earlier, and accomplished my main mission of Battlefield 3 Multiplayer. Knife Reayth and take his tags. Then he did it right back to me a few minutes later.

Then, which wasn't much of a goal for me, saw Wrigley running over a hill, and sniped him in the face, and he launched in the air doing a full blown backflip. It was great.

And before that I guess Reayth knifed you Wrigley.

Exactly the kind of stuff that takes the boredom out of BF3 !
It is always nice to play with or against folks you know. Can't
wait for BF4 It's funny when you get on a server with
Friend's or you see them follow you on to one you some how
feel different about playing on the server, unless it is Orhan
then it just pisses me off

Yes that is correct; on a swipe after I had just got revived. He said he was aiming for the reviver though.

Nice job...except the part where you are kinda being a dick about it. I was about to send you a PM asking if I misinterpreted your reaction and what you said and apologizing for mine if so. I guess I did not so I am glad I thought to check here first before I sent it.

 

[Zen_]

as much as i love BF3, I found BF2 immensely more fun. I think the community was generally a lot better back then too.

These days BF3 are full of CoD rejects with no idea about playing as a team and assholes that drive off in vehicles as soon as they get into it even though they have space for another 4 or more people. break cover into an open field, get shelled by enemy tank & abandon vehicle before getting raped by a chopper thats supporting the enemy tank /respawn

^ Pretty much the cream of the fukin' crop right there unless people be hackin and bottin on your team - those people carry your team thats full of snipers to victory.

Obviously when TPU play together its a different story

There was plenty of that in BF2 and 1942. I try to look at things fairly without sounding like a grumpy old man...yes, the CoD series has seriously degenerated the entire FPS genre with increasingly dumbed down multiplayer. However I can remember back in the early 2000s playing UT and CS, pubs were filled with the same racism, homophobia, death threats, and colorful insults.

The problem with new games is that since mods and player created content are pretty much a thing of the past, most of the pub servers are all the same generic experience. This makes it harder for clans and gaming communities to create a more unique server with a good rep that is administered well, and is mostly filled with regulars that know how to play and are fun to play with.

I think what he was saying was he really wanted to knife Reayth from days gone by, but didn't have the same feeling for a need of retribution in killing you. Then again maybe I'm wrong and he was just being a dick, you know them Seahawk fans JK, by the way Phenom thanks for the help with the Windows 8 clean up. Worked great, but I still hate that pos OS.

You got that right. I have jumped on tons of servers where you have any where from 2 to 8 friends and we all just bale because of bad administration, lag or just full of dumb asses. What sucks is you can mark good servers as favorites and then next time you join it , it totally blows.

 

[cadaveca]

+1. I love Battlefield and DICE, but the players...man, they can make the game so aggravating.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah maybe I am wrong...it's a little hard to tell based on what he said. Whatever; no hard feelings regardless. I'm sure the back flip was funny as hell too. I don't join their servers to play against them either, for the record, but sometimes there's no choice. I guess I can't even tell if I'm really wanted there, either way. At least by all.

Besides, I held my own pretty well against them on a crap team.

And, yeah, all in all I can have a good time but playing on pubs generally sucks in pretty much any game.

This right here spoke right to my heart and gave me the feels and I can seriously relate to it as Ive been gaming online since 98 but didnt really take off until 2000. I used to frequent quite a lot of modded/custom servers on the first call of duty, MW1 and TeamFortress - I stumbled across communities that were so welcoming it was like finding an Oasis in the desert. I joined many gaming communities and was also part of building quite a few of them and we all grew and grew and grew till people eventually got bored of playing and went to play a different or newer game which is obviously impossible to prevent against.

Ive been back to visit a few of the communities I spent years gaming with during my spats of unemployment and it saddens me to see how everyone's just fallen apart. All I have now are these memories of something special that I was very very lucky to be apart of that happened on a certain game, on a certain server at a certain time. I can still remember it like it was yesterday, but yet it feels like so many years ago.

I cant agree more with what you said,

I can't tell yuh how many times I was stuck fighting against the likes of Phenom, Alex, Dave,Crazy,Brandon,Gunny, MM. It fucking sucks. If you get on one of those 64 man servers and it is high tickets you are just stuck getting owned for an hour until it finishes and you get to change teams.

I can still remember it like it was yesterday, but yet it feels like so many years ago.

I cant agree more with what you said,

I feel exactly the same way. Eventually a few years ago, I had to delete all my old screenshots and videos because it honestly only made me sad thinking back on those times. I was part of many clans and gaming communities that fell apart because it's always very difficult trying to move to a new game while integrating new members, keeping up the vigor of administration, and raising donations for hosting. BC2 was the last FPS I spent any amount of time in and I hardly met anyone in that game, because the few servers I did frequent and became a known regular on died out in a short period of time.

But, I still remain optimistic that some day, there will be another truly awesome FPS game that is fun for many years. I don't know how that happens in the FPS genre when action / MMO games have moved to a micro-transaction model for their primary revenue stream...all EA and A/B have come up with for FPS games is churning out games and expansion packs faster, which is incredibly destructive for long term stability in gaming communities. The only gaming communities that survive now are the massive ones that host tons of server for every game with open recruiting for every random player. There's no room for the smaller tight-knit communities.

Indie games shouldnt be overlooked, Thanks to steam Indie games have never been so popular.

What we need is a dev thats willing to hand over dev tools to the modding community and let the community do with the game what they will. If i was a lead dev at a studio I would love to see the kind of content that people make for one of my games as it inspires me a little more and im able to feed off and generally get a better idea of that the community wants or needs with regards to the game.

early FPs days were the best. I was playing CoD1 for at least 3years before I eventually moved on to BF2 because most of the player base had already left to play other games and lack of players became an issue.

I know of a few people who still play CoD1. I would play the game again but ive had nothing but trouble trying to get such an old game to work on widescreen resolutions.

BF4Central - Battlefield 4 player count could increase to 70+ players

Credible sources have rumored that DICE is testing Battlefield 4 multiplayer with 70+ players.
With Battlefield 4 having 5 players per/squad, this is completely logical. Now, when there are a full 32 players in a multiplayer game, 6 squads would be full, while the last squad would only have 2 players. This is a problem that could be completely fixed with 70+ players, and replace the now 66 player servers. With at least 35 players per/team, there would be 7 full squads, with no players being left out.
Adding a couple more players into the mix wouldn’t likely take away from the game at all, like larger servers DICE tested in Battlefield 3, like 128 and 256 player servers. Tell us what you think in the comments below, should DICE add couple more players to fill up squads, or leave it how it is?

The best fun in BF3 is to burn somebody's ass with a Repair tool, my son likes it and occasionally I do the same thing for a whole session!

BF4Central - Battlefield 4 player count could increase to 70+ players

Now that would be pretty awesome!

How about 100 players! 50 vs 50!

Had fun tonight. I was cussing earlier when no TPU'ers were playing, but found the usual's later. That Firestorm round was good.
Bummer I couldn't join the squad. Who is Strawbarrah ? Is he one of ours ? You would of been better off with the oldman MM.
They got destroyed. I got a few good tank kills. I have played a few rounds of Tank Sup lately and that shit is pretty fun. A good squad
could own it. Not very many servers though.

Strawbarrah is Erocker.

Having more players always adds to the intensity of the game IMO unless the map is stupid and the entire round becomes a spawncamp/campfest. I remember how stupidly fun it was playing on the 64p CoD and BF2 servers with a full house.

With the old gen consoles been stuck with player cap of 24 it always makes me laugh when they flaunt games like CoD, Crysis, MoH, BF3 or any Console driven FPS with low player cap as the 'Ultimate-Gaming-Experience' when they havent experience the amount of mayhem that exists on 64p servers with a full house.

IMO the more the merrier.

I hardly ever play BF3 anymore due to my schedule but the last two times I played this week have been a blast.

Ok but the example you give is one of the totally over-the-top and obvious ones which are pretty rare (I've seen once in almost two years). Besides, emptying a clip into someone and it having no effect is exactly the type of thing that lag and lost packets could cause. In fact, such happened to me the one time I was actually accused of hacking. I could feel the lag as soon as this guy and I encountered one another and we both emptied our clips in each other but I was able to finish him off only because I carry a P90 with 51 rounds.

Also, in that situation, why does anyone stay on the server? Like this guy is going to listen to anyone, his team or not. His whole point is to troll and ruin others fun.

Actually it's the subtle cheating that's the most damaging. The perfect example is tags. Tags are identifiers on other players that show details such as name and of course it gives away their location. These are viewable through objects and walls meaning you have eyes on everyone at all times.
That alone can make someone go from being an average player to someone being a 'great' player. Intentionally let yourself die a handful of times during a match and your end score of 98-22 doesn't look so bad.

ALL these games are victim to this, CS, CODs, BF, Planetsides - they all have subtle cheats.
But what exacerbates the issue is that most of them use a grandfathered (thanks Counter Strike, assholes) narcissism system whereby statistics > gameplay. So you in effect drive people to cheat for the personal vanity and glory.
Where as games like Rainbow six said 'here's a set of weapons, go kill one another, may the BEST man win.'
