Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.
How do I install Final Stand? I have BF4 Premium Edition and it lists all the expansions in my library, but trying to play on a server with Final Stand maps tells me I need to install Final Stand. Clicking "Open in Origin" just opens Origin, and "Retry" doesn't work.

edit: I had to manually set some registry keys since apparently Origin forgot to during install. Good poo poo

So is the title a joke or shall I rejoice in my new stroke of luck?
I crash on exit and nowhere else. Which is weird but fine. It also runs really well and I'm enjoying it.
So yeah, serious title. And still a healthy playerbase.

Just started playing the game and can't believe how much they hosed up the battlefield 3 maps. Metro blows forever, caspian has a giant wall in the center that funnels everyone into two chokepoints, and oman has a giant annoying sandstorm that has everyone shooting at triangles. Firestorm is ok I guess at least.
you can blow the wall pieces up in caspian, i think

Summer patch + Zavod night releasing on Sep1 unless you're a European on the Playstation in which case you're waiting until Sep8 (only for Zavod).

Patch should have a bunch of netcode improvements and 60Hz servers but no idea if it does.
e: high-tickrate servers are a few weeks out still

I'm not really clear what standards we're using here if a "7/10 AAA" game isn't good. That sounds good to me.

Important parts
As usual, more detail in the PDF: https://eaassets-a.akamaihd.net/dice-commerce/battlefield4/assets/patch_notes/Patchnotes_SummerPatch_(R14_DS).pdf
They added Night Operations modes because afaik Zavod is the first night map, not the only night map. Also to make it easy to find Zavod Night servers I guess.
  • You can only spot one person at a time, no more spotting an entire squad with one Q.
  • "Damage Tunneling" means you can no longer keep shooting past your death (due to lag), which "significantly improves on trade kills" and delays are reduced.
  • Bullet processing happens after physics now, so less behind-cover damage.
  • New team balancer that is apparently statistically better. And will probably prevent you from switching to the winning team if you're a high-skill player.
  • Warning icons for performance issues:

    So you can finally safely blame the server for being poo poo, not your own skill.

  • Audio obstruction is this:

    It changes how things sound based on obstructions, not just volume.

And it was terrible because bots are really dumb
The number of kills you got would stop counting at either 127 or 255 too

I played the campaign in BF3 back when it first came out just 4 years ago and I literally can't remember a single thing from it aside from the toy t-rex.

Woah what the gently caress BF4 why do you expect me to clear the campaign three loving times to unlock some weapons :negative: This isn't going to be a nice experience, is it.
I beat the entire campaign and I can confirm it's poo poo, but the second post ITT has a save file that'll let you unlock the weapons fairly fast. You only need to beat the last mission three times and the save file has that mission.

I haven't played in a while, does Battlelog only work in IE now? In Chrome it tells me to launch Origin (it is running) and in Firefox it says I need a 32-bit browser.

To make it work in Chrome (Firefox maybe as well?), you need to set it to not use the plugin, under General Settings.
I'm using pluginless launching. Neither Firefox nor Chrome can detect that Origin is open and therefore can't launch the game.
It works in IE but I don't want to have to use IE to play a game, this is truly unbearable
