I think it's less no confidence and more no goddamn info because it's been basically radio silence.

You'd think we'd know when exactly the beta is for sure 2 weeks away from when it's been supposedly been datamined to be.

The best thing about a brand new battlefield is that almost everyone will be completely awful for the first couple of months, and anyone with a semblance of fps skill will land a comfortable 3 k/d that you can maintain until the game dies based on that head start alone

Shhh. My Common Sense is Tingling


The tech test was so limited, and such a buggy mess that it was really hard to get a sense of the gameplay and flow of the map. I hope the beta will give a better idea of how it good it will be. In contrast I was in the closed alpha for V and it felt really stale, and lacking so many features I got bored in a few minutes of play. I wrote it off as Alpha, but when the beta came out and didn't have much more I was concerned. There seems to be more on paper for the game than compared to V which was a lot of promises about the games as a "service" bullshit that never delivered anything before it was abandoned. The new portal and hazard zone mode are the wild cards here as there is very little info about them still. Are they even planned to be in at launch? But I will say Portal is the best looking feature and I predict it may be the main way to play the game for me rather than the main modes. But that depends on what people can make and how many servers will run them.

Even the alpha, just as a proof of concept and despite all the technical issues, was a good experience for a new BF game. I am definitely interested in seeing how the beta shapes up but I am confident this years product will be as fun as V was (gently caress the haters V was good)

The BF4 music was stuttery and looped tightly with breakbeat effects -- which was good for hiding how badly it was unintentionally stuttering and looping during loads towards release.

I thought I heard of a lawsuit regarding this fairly recently. I remember reading that because they consider a game an artistic work, they can use the likeness of real vehicles and places with no issue but often you'll see specific vehicles or items as brand promotion. I'm not sure if the same is true for the likeness of real people, but probably not since athletes are fighting for compensation for their likeness being used.

Edit: Activision using Humvee in COD. Apparently AMG's case against them was dismissed because for the portrayal of the military in the game to be realistic, they needed to model the actual equipment used

Matter of taste but I do not like it at all. Too much distortion. It doesn't feel like someone can make a great 'Battlefield moment' video and get away with it like the contest they ran with BF3.
