I've played it - the water is the exact same as BC2, but with waves. In the Jews' (Jews = EA, not a racial slur) defense, I don't even care for super new, improved graphics with water so real it's got Nemo's family swimming in it. I just want some new shit, more destruction (BC2 = best destruction ever) etc. etc. So far, it's just a BF3 expansion with even cheaper animations, and Halo/COD 'laser-like' aiming and shooting. Basically, it's more child friendly, I've found.

When you can't beat COD, you hit them head on, a la Samsung to Apple.

Ok bro, you be missing on some standard feelz. You'll buy it, I know this.
I may, because my expensive-ass computer is sitting there, collecting dust. Everything else fuckin SUCKS. I was on GO for a few hours last night, and I was BIOP and Copper for a little while.. no more hommies on games. Beeflaps may be the only way I can game with you and my bro...

I haven't seen your bro online yet, nor sun doobiest. The feelz from operation whatsitcalled where we would get behind enemy spawn points are LEGENDARY.

LEGENDARY.

LEGENDARY.

Dooby's workin across western Ontario, gonna make his way into MB n shit. He's gone until roughly Christmas. My bro is married and has a bunch of other shit on his plate, so he won't be on often. :(

But, we'll see. I might roll by his house today to try to released retail version, and judge if I should get it. I mean, the feels with you and him and dooby are probably already enough lol

Confirmed - this game is absolutely terrible. What a waste (as I'd anticipated). Back to having my PC off for most of the week...
I'm gonna start putting my parts up for sale, I give up man.

Unfortunately, I'm not alone. Talk to a bunch of the people here.. everyone's disgruntled with releases. Some games that have had some promise have only lasted weeks, and it's just not like it used to be. I loaded up Steam to play GO (which, once again I'm the only TD guy there, until later on I had BIOP and Copper for a bit before I logged off), and I saw CS:S 1100+hours played... now that's a game, fuck... :feelscry:

Shame bro, because they got the VOIP right, right out of the gate. It's fun playing with noob squaddies, but I miss my bro's. Fun running and gunning in maps. Plus more gunless choppers spawn, which had immense feels in DC. AA seems more balanced.

Maps still need to be a biiiiit bigger. But the water maps (hainan?) are amazingly fun, boat combat rules.

Net code seems sound, so I don't get it beej, wats your major malfunction?

When I first tried GO I thought it was AIDS. To be honest, I still think it's AIDS but CS is made fun by the community you play with, not the mechanics or the pretties.

Personally, I think Blizzard helped murder the gaming world with World of WhoreCrack. So many people I know have become so jaded after being WoW heads that they are completely unwilling to play anything else, constantly crying about how "it's not as good as WoW".

Well, there isn't much out there in the real world that feels as good as shooting heroine, but that doesn't make it a great idea to hit the HIV stick. I thought Star Wars TOR and Guild Wars 2 might help wrench some of those Blizztards free of their junkie addiction, but TOR seemed to try too hard to be too much to too many people. It chased 2 rabbits, and lost them both, trying to be both the sickest Star Wars RPG ever made (whch is definitely is) as well as being the best MMO on the market (which it definitely is not). It had neither the convenience and user-friendly versatility of GW 2 nor the crack head brain-AIDS hacks of WoW.

It sucks watching all my old gamer buds turn into WoW slaves. They try to break free and convince me to play other games with them, then they bail and bitch, going on rants about how this isn't as good as WoW and that isn't as good as WoW, but how this iS good because it's just like WoW, but not really. Because, Lord knows I love nothing more than wasting money on a game after a prolonged sales-pitch from a buddy only to have him fag out on me a week later because "It's not WoW."

This is why I tend to look into the classics of the past that were either unstable or too comp-intensive for me at the time for good gaming joneses. It's a shame that I have a $2000 gaming beast PC on an $800 TV that I use to play games that were made 10 years ago, but I'd rather go old school that waste my time on shit or turn into a Blizztard who smokes WarCrack.

I feel your pain, dude. Gaming just isn't what it used to be. Too many games, too little quality.

Oh well, fuck it. I'm going back to playing the Final Fantasies.

If you like action/adventures the Batman Arkham series is pretty decent and sexy looking, but as far as multi player games are concerned, pickings are pretty slim unless you play on consoles.

/me is still pissed that FIFA 14 and GTA V both didn't get released on PC so that they can extort gamers into blowing $500 on another console. I bought a wicked PC so I wouldn't need a console. :forkslife:

So let's just skip the irrelevant nonsenseical between ours above (the fuck's goin on?!) lol

I bought the game, just because I could give a fuck less if I lose $65 on a shit purchase, I do alright for myself. I'm still going to give it some honest time and try to like it, because I've got nothing else going on :/ And like you say, I really do miss the bro's, especially on beeftree, happy-clappin fools together.

My beefs are this: cheesier graphics and animations (let's be serious, it's like the BC2 engine; hence why right out of the gate I can max this game to its absolute best and not stutter below 80FPS; in comparison, bf3 was 50-60 maxed (all settings maxed, just to test). Ok, graphics aside, it's not really that important to me - game on. But the animations - it feels like the movements are from some shitty metroid game from SNES - wtf, who steps backwards in development?!

Maps are a shitload smaller - hopefully some expansions are better, but again, that's more money down the Jewish drain.

The Deployment screen and screen where you configure your kits are insanely complex, busy and the very opposite of user-friendly. I have a hard time just seeing wtf's going on when looking at the irrational layout.

Spawning - You will continually be spawned in the same exact place, inbetween enemies who will instantly kill you over and over and over and over.

Sound - Just cuts the fuck out and all you can hear is your vehicle's horn or something else. No excuse for this.

You must update your graphics drivers otherwise the game will flat-out not load. This, however, has fucked a lot of us for other games we might play (I noticed TF2:GO took the biggest hit - and this was before our network issues).

The weapons' movements, fire patterns and overall feel = completely ripped from any 10-year old Halo or Call of Duty. Flat out copy paste. I will not be any surprised if they (devs for the aforementioned games) sue the fuck out of EA, like Samsung and Apple slapping dicks in court. It's just not battlefield. To me, CS:S = BF3 and CS:GO = BF4. They made BF4 easier for any 12year-old pimple-faced P90 player (TexasWalkerRanger, for example) to join up and go 20-3 with some shit gun.

I just think this game is incomplete, and some will argue that a lot of the above can/will be fixed through EA's notorious 3GB updates. But will they? Look at how much broken shit persisted in BF3. EA doesn't give a fuck, we know this well by now.

And so here I am, hating the game I just [knowingly] wasted $65 on.

I dunno BJ, I got the game and disagree with most of the points you mentioned but thats just my opinion of the game too.

Graphics wise, it looks very fucking nice. I can't play it on cranked settings since my PC is CPU bottle-necked w my Q6600 but playing campaign on high I get like 20-80FPS and it looks great. Just as many details as BF3 had as well. A lot of the environments are dynamic based which is cool in concept but not greatly noticeable during gameplay. For example one map starts off nice and sunny then turns into a hurricane with gale force winds. Waves seen by me in the map are apparently the exact same for others in multiplayer...again cool physics but really has no bearing on how i play in the game.

Movement-wise...I don't get where you find things are going backwards...i dont find that the movement is bad at all, in fact I find it to be just fine. Movements are fluid and more realistic than what COD has ever brought to the table too.

As to maxing out graphics settings in BF4 and running smooth @ 80fps...it could be due to better engine optimization. When BF4 came out day 1 it was laggy as shit and my fps were awful but after they patched it I gained an extra 15-20fps. Also, perhaps BC2 ran more shitty at max because of an older/unoptomized engine? Just conjecture but its possible

When it comes to multiplay deploy screen...i admit it took a while to figure out wtf was what but I wouldn't say it is 'insanely' complex because it really isn't. After a few deaths or rounds you'll figure it out. It definitely could be more user-friendly but it's not game-inhibiting or -breaking at all.

Maps to me on 64 man servers definitely feel a bit of squeeze but tbh the maps are still so fuckin big if u get blown out of a chopper and chute at the edge of the map you're playing DayZ again running back to a cap point...hiking sim lol

Spawning is not always in the same place BJ. You should really try and join a squad to click on live members to deploy on them or to click on the home base or captured points to spawn there...that or any vacant vehicles or spawn beacons. The other thing too is before spawning on a teammate, you can click on their icon on the map before deploying to see if they are getting boned in the rear and opt to spawn elsewhere. You can see the player/vehicles POV and in fact, it says 'WARNING' on their screen if its not safe/worthwhile to spawn on em...choose wisely.

I had the sound bug too, and it fucking pissed me off. I have 5.1 surround speaks and wanted to hear the game to the best of its abilties only to find hopping into a vehicle cuts out your sound leaving only random spurts of radio chatter and noise. I found a fix for it though that has worked perfectly and is as simple as changing the playerconfig for BF4 on notepad. Link here: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654347729882788/

My opinion of BF4 is that while it definitely isn't as ground-breaking as BF3 and still pretty much draws upon what BF3 offered, it's still a good solid game with tons to offer in terms of unlocks, achieves, and fun. I admit, it is more fun playing with friends and TD, but I have been enjoying my time going solo into servers just sniping the fuck outta people on hardcore.

I wouldn't waste my $ on premium, but the basic version is worth the cash if you're looking for an online FPS

I did waste my money on premium lol

I agree, that map with the weather is sick. as. shit. Driving a boat on that reminded me of old silent hunter, so rad..

I also agree the MP battlelog changes are not welcome. Same with the update weapon screen, seems clunky and messy.

But I like the game a lot

So good news. I'm an idiot. Wait, no that's the bad news. The good news is, EA support is top notch.

So idiot leroy accidentery installed beef flaps under the wrong origin acct. After a bit of a process, I've actually managed get both bc2 and bf4 coalesced into my bf3 account. They had to wipe my accomplishments, but no fucks given.

Now I have access to my all my initial friends' list and will not appear stupid. I mean offline. GOD
