Yeah so here's the deal with it. Most browsers are no longer supporting the type of plugin that Battlelog needs to work, so EA needs to get rid of it. They still want there to be a single Battlelog style interface where they can manage crap for all the Battlefield games at once but a website is no longer going to be an option. The UI for this apparently has already been implemented on the PS4 version of BF4. They claim it will have all of Battlelog's functionality, which is good but it's still less convenient than a website you can get to with just two clicks.
My guess is the PC version of this is a web browser container app with the battlelog plugins installed. That way they don't have to destroy the years of work they've put into the Battlelog site and backend.

Horses seem kind terrible, but still awesome. You're just so vulnerable to getting shot right off the thing, and it's not exactly resistant to bullets either.

Cool party, guys.
drat they really reached for excuses to include a ton of poo poo in this game, IIRC the ACOG was only fielded for two missions and they were both basically photo-ops. I understand it's wacky battlefield so it doesn't matter but dang, there's so much actual oddball poo poo from that war they could have used.

World War 1 is like an anime because for the plot to make any sense it would require cartoonish levels of incompetence by all people involved with it.

I find it weird that you fire the rifle one handed. They really couldn't have gone the much, much cooler route and let you actually take aim?

There's also one single guy streaming rush gameplay on twitch if you guys want to see some more gameplay I guess.

I liked the trailer of this game because it looked like those old WW2 CoD games but with next-gen graphics. However, I don't believe :dice: can make a good single player campaign.

Who plays the single player? poo poo it's standard policy for goons to post a save file the day after the games come out so we can all avoid single player. I am pretty sure most of us have never done more than run the last mission 3 times. I know some people who buy cod games for single player but I have never heard of anyone buying a battlefield game for the story.

It's probably my longing for a good historical shooter campaign coming out. The last one I played was World at War and it released like 8 years ago? The trailer scratched that itch hard and that's it but I know the game won't deliver on that front.

I'm sure I'll enjoy the multiplayer though, Battlefield 1943 was pretty cool and I had a lot of fun with Bad Company's Vietnam as well.

When they say the open beta is out aug 31st will that be early in the morning eu time? Also for people in the closed beta roughly how big is the client? I hopefully can start it downloading before I go out and play that evening. Does origin auto download things if I leave the client open on my desktop like steam?
