General Battuta posted:I'm not quite sure I'm following your question, but BF3 has never been free. You only 'count' as Premium if you shelled out for the Premium service on top of the regular game. Didn't they give away like, CQ or something for free a few months ago? Maybe he means that. If so, no, you're hosed.

People really need to remember that we haven't seen anything that isn't incremental upgrades. If larger maps and physics gimmicks are enough for you to put as many hours into 4 as you did into 3, that's fine, but it's not hardly a new game.

Ularg posted:I'm just hoping for a fresh start, better balance, new or cooler maps and a better looking engine. This new frostbite looks sleek as hell and puts BF3 to shame. Perfectly reasonable. Just wanted to try and check off, well, SA game release threads. Those things would also make me pretty happy.

This might qualify me for whiny baby status, but I might end up skipping BF4 because it's still possible for a full squad to pop out of someones rear end while you're shooting them. That's still lovely.

I keep trying this a couple times a day for a few matches, and I am just aghast at how seemingly terrible I am. I did alright for myself in BF3, far better than I've done with any shooter since UT04, but in this beta I just cannot kill someone for the life of me. I think it's mostly the recoil but man, I just die in a hot second every time I fight someone. E: And the moment after I hit submit I jump back into the next Domination round and gun down an entire squad with the MX4 in a split second.

It seems like a huge sphere that doesn't quite reach certain areas farther away from C. That's what he's saying. The top shot is rare for him, though it's the intended effect. He gets the second shot most of the time.

Pharmaskittle posted:gently caress Wake Island unless they bring back moveable carriers. If they made the carrier a mobile cap point with crazy firepower, it could be really cool, but every iteration since 1942 has been garbage. While I agree on the carrier points, I haven't enjoyed the map since 1942 (and maybe not even then) because it was the premier "Ain't got a vehicle? Get hosed" map. You get to run from wherever you spawn to a point, and then get bombed/tanked/strafed/rocketed/whatever. Rinse repeat.

Lazyfire posted:My opinion of Domination is simply "Never again" after two rounds. You spend half the game trying to get points that are either too out in the open or too easily defended. The major offender is the C and B flags. B flag is in the street, C flag is what usually would be D. If you wanted to guess how many people are swarming the D roof "everyone" would be fairly accurate. When your dumbass teammates insist on trying to take on the people on the roof it is just an exercise in frustration as they may or may not make it past the designated elevator campers and then have to contend with the ten recons on the roof. My issue with the Siege of Shanghai Dominion map is that it's basically just "Who's controlling the A roof? Okay they win"

Zzulu posted:Metro was my favourite map in BF3. I loved how you started fighting in a beautiful park, then went underground in the tunnels for a lot of close quarters stuff (shotguns are my favourite gun type) and then you got above ground in an urban setting for that final push. It was great in Rush mode and I totally get why it was BF3's most popular map. It wasn't super-battlefieldy due to the narrow corridors and lack of vehicle combat but it was still fun, I thought. Yeah that's not the Metro pubbies were so in love with. The one they loved was the up-escalator/down-escalator fight a B (C?) for about an hour.

What an awful, awful campaign, even by modern military shooter standards. In their quest to have awesome setpieces, the arenas were loving awful to fight in. In their quest to make it challenging, they made grenade launcher wizards an enemy. And while it wasn't the stupidest shooter campaign I've ever played (hello Warfighter), it wasn't good or smart by any means. Not remotely worth it for the P90.

I checked my key binds and set them to the default, and I also tried every other button while holding Q. Just hold Q and while it's up sweep it over all the enemies you can see. It's a story device for marking enemies. Sedisp posted:The ending was my favorite part. Probably goes down in history as the most anti climactic moment in any videogame.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:While this game is certainly beautiful, something about it keeps giving me this nagging feeling that it doesn't look as good as BF3. Maybe not even that it doesn't look as good, just... I don't know, sparser? Is there less debris and props strewn about the levels, or something? What Republicans said and in addition the blown up poo poo doesn't leave as much rubble and stuff behind, so it's all flat and very little mess by the end.
