It's gonna be hard to decide which group I'm playing with on launch night. |

Just gonna wait till summer or so when they reduce the price to get a One and that game. |

Hit detection has been an issue for me in the beta. Many times, it seemed to take half a magazine before someone finally went down. I also hope they eliminate the contrail from sniper rifles. I don't know what it is, it just makes it harder to see where my shot is going. |

Ravioli Ravioli Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 1,130 Member No.: 40,468 Joined: Feb 4th 2013 Location: Riverside, CA | So...who has the game now? It is good for what the PS3 can do, but I can definitely see the graphics being pushed WAY THE HECK DOWN. I mean I aim with my gun's iron sights and the sight DOESN'T LOAD. IT'S A GIANT BLOB BEFORE IT LOADS. Troublesome but it works I guess... Also this is the first time I had the game freeze for me, as well as the game not loading the stage properly. Sheesh at least the online doesn't have much issues...but it is enjoyable to say the least. If you have finished the campaign...

Some cards just need to fall in place before I can finish the build though. |

I'm still on a single card so I'm running it on medium for the sake of framerate, but it still looks damn good. Ultra is just stunning. |

What card are you running? I've been looking at the GTX 660Ti and hoping that can handle Medium to High settings. The one video I watched of BF4 on PC, the guy was running with a 690 on Ultra. I know what I'm looking at won't reach that. | ||

Core i5-3570K @ 3.4ghz 8gb RAM (even with Firefox using 1gb thanks to having to have a browser open) NVIDIA GTX660Ti 2gb Happy to report that on my hardware, it runs smooth as butter on high settings with 64 players. |

Why not go for a AMD R9 280x? it easily beats the 660ti. the 280x are being sold for 300 and I have read the ASUS version is the best bang for buck card. Or if you have some money to shell out, a R9 290 cost 450 and its heaps better than the 280x. Plus with MANTLE being released next month, all GCN cards should get an increased performance as well. im planning on getting either two 280x for my next build or a 290 when they drop to 400 or so next year, since the 290 performs just below the 290x. | ||

I can't say I'm a fan of the launch maps, really the only one I like is Operation Locker, otherwise a few others are bearable. Choke points are what make a map fun, instead of a k/d ratio relying on luck of where you spawn. The BF3 maps were all very linear which made them awesome, BF4 maps are just too open to make it anything but luck of the draw when you kill someone because most kills end up being random encounters more than planned tactical positions. It's just too much OPEN. I can't wait for the BF3 maps to be released. Otherwise, it's been trying to figure out what gun/mod combos work well together, but I'm really liking the muzzle brake/angled grip combo on ARs. You're generally burst firing anyway, and that really helps with accuracy. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,164 Member No.: 3,607 Joined: Oct 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | So Dice is going to re-release it's older maps like Karkand and the like for BF4? Sweat deal then if true. Nevermind, just found the story on it. Looking forward to the Second Assault DLC. This post has been edited by RalliKai on Nov 16 2013, 07:23 AM |

Ravioli Ravioli Group: FORUM MODERATOR Posts: 1,130 Member No.: 40,468 Joined: Feb 4th 2013 Location: Riverside, CA | Yeah the launch maps are a bit there...many of them are open as you said. But, for me at least, not all of them are bad. I do like Zavod 311, Dawnbreaker, and Hanian Resort. But I HATE Paracel Storm, god the rush games are so biased to the defenders. However I will agree that the spawns are CRAP. Spawn, DIE, spawn, DIE. Ugh, the little window only helps with frontal vision. By the way what are your favorite guns so far? I personally like the M416 for AR, M249 for LMG and the AK 5C for carbines. Although I do want to try the G36C when I unlock it. |

Zavod 311 isn't bad while it is (lol make sense of that), Locker is great as I said, I like Golmud Railway and Rogue Transmission as well. Fuck Paracel Storm. Between the patrol boats being able to cap every point (The two groups I play with both just call them OP boats) and how annoyingly games play out, I'm just not a fan. Flood Zone can also suck on it. I get the feeling that because the Frostbite 2 engine does great water they just decided to make a bunch of water maps, and that's terrible reasoning. It's Battlefield, not sniperfield or swimmerfield and that's what those maps turn it into. I don't have a ton of stuff unlocked, but I do agree on the AK 5C, I've been liking it quite a bit. The M249 has never been a bad choice in any BF game, and I'm still sticking with the AK 12 for an AR for now. | ||

Goddamn Electric Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,129 Member No.: 23,073 Joined: Feb 2nd 2007 Location: Fort Kickass | Frickin' love me some Paracel Storm, it and Zavod definitely feel the most 'Battlefieldy' of the launch maps to me. Plus, the tears of shot down helis during a storm on Paracel is just impossible to resist. |
