OFFICIAL Battlefield 4 (Discussion)

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 12, 2013

I did not even know that when I purchased Premium and already feel I got my money's worth from it...

twicksisted · Jun 12, 2013

I've speed read through posts and cant figure this out...

When does the Beta start?

If I buy the deluxe version of BF4 (which supposedly gives early beta access) can I start playing it immediately?

The beta is still months away

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...

Me and my son use it all the time and only had issues a couple of times. As far as the premium I use most of the DLC's on BF3. I don't play much of the last one though.

I just picked up the Free "Close Quarters". :toast:

Yea, I guess with origins and DLC, it's better than there old "Booster Packs". I'll get premium for BF4 when it's ready. I feel it would be to late for me to get premium for BF3. Thanks for the info! :toast:

For anyone wanting the free dlc.. here you go!

Battlefield 3 Close Quarters at no cost
What: The expansion pack Battlefield 3 Close Quarters is set to 0 cost during E3
Eligible players: Owners of Battlefield 3 that do not own the expansion pack in question or Battlefield 3 Premium
Platforms: All (PC, X360, PS3)
Start date: June 10
End date: June 18/19 depending on region and platform — get it now!
Where: Available starting June 10 in your in-game store (on consoles) or via Origin for PC. In your Origin app, enter the “Redeem Code” menu and enter this code: BF3E3
This will allow you to download Close Quarters at no cost.

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 12, 2013

Well I wouldn't say "too late" necessarily as it's been going on sale lately (and may still be for E3). All 5 DLCs plus extra perks and bonuses (to say nothing of the BF4 beta).

Wow! looking on origins it's on sale for $14.99! I'll pick it up now. hehehe :toast:

Battlefield 4 is looking great after seeing more stuff being released about it. Time to make my GTX780 worthy!

brandonwh64 · Jun 12, 2013

I know this is a odd request but does anyone have that battle launch program for BF3 that is a stand alone server browser?

once you gt the close Qtr DLC, you will have it for good. It doesn't expire with E3. Half off Premium will expire with E3 (it will go back to it's regular price.).

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 12, 2013

Oh that's cool. On Steam temp freebies deactivate (even though you still have the local data of course). Not really apples to apples, just sayin'.

I actually have a new version of my standalone game browser. I never released it because it's around 30mb, and TPU limits files around 3mb. But if enough people are interested then I'll upload it to my server for download. :toast:

EDIT: It uses Geckofx

I cannot use a browser

Aww, gotcha.. I remember seeing it, but I never used that program. It looked cool and reminded me of an old program (pingtool) I used to play QII. :toast:

Wow just looked at the price of that card. You must of got a raise :laugh:

Sounds like a Great card though.

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

Glad I can amuse ya. I always value your barely 1 K/D fan-club opinion on how bugfree and well made FPS the game is.

Any clue who gets the kills from that building ?

Would be cool if they added killkam besides spectator mode : http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2925730256710580383/

It's Official: We have a new Orhan.

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 13, 2013

Hah...but I dunno. Orhan was pretty much talking personal smack and massaging his phony ego from the get-go iirc.

mastrdrver · Jun 13, 2013

Gamespot UK has in game video (about 12 mins long)

Some fraps video from Lvlcap with commenting.

edit: Don't know if anyone saw, but AMD tweeted yesterday that all the PCs are running 8350s with Crossfired 7970s.

It doesn't matter, its all the same. They both don't participate in the forums, other then to talk shit so.

mastrdrver · Jun 13, 2013

AMA (ask me anything) on Reddit, another BF4 player from E3.

GullyFoyle · Jun 13, 2013

No beta date from dice yet. Maybe September.

Wrigleyvillain · Jun 13, 2013

So I am throughly wowed like many with the gameplay at E3...but not only is that pre-alpha it's also a more controlled setting. So this point I want more technical details about the game cause even the best and most polished release can be ruined by a couple bad decisions when put out 'in the wild'. Thus I want more technical details ASAP such as about hit detection (client or server side this time around?) also anti-cheat. It is so past time to put Punkbuster to bed. But what else could they use unless developed in-house (and I feel we would have heard about that already)?
