The Official Battlefield 4 Thread: BF4 Comes out Tomorrow!

Amazing_Funbags · June 11, 2013, 1:24am

Since the BF3 thread is long dead and there was LOADS of information about BF4 from E3 I figured I’d start a new thread here.

Does anybody REALLY care about the Single player?

Commander Mode looks awesome. I will try to post a screenshot later

J-Nav · June 11, 2013, 4:16am

64 players all out mayhem!

J-Nav · June 11, 2013, 10:46am

It looks pretty cool, but no. :lol:

Looks butter smooth to me and caught my attention. I like Single Player cause it’s a nice way to stay away from online idiots now and again or during times where I lose internets.

I jizzed all over my keyboard from that footage. Like I said before, this is looking like what BF3 should have been.

I really hope all of the other MP maps are as awesome as that one

I’m still amazed he just tubed the roof or a parking garage or whatever and it caused such an explosion that it caused the road that a fucking TANK was on to collapse!

J-Nav · June 14, 2013, 5:13am

Spectator Mode confirmed.

Some snippets on MP: New Suppression, reverse take-downs and such.

f you’ve been following the latest Battlefield 4 news, you’ll know that multiplayer is returning in a big way this October 29.

Not only are developers DICE going to let you bring an entire skyscraper crashing to the ground, but the team has spent a lot of time polishing the “second-to-second” experience, as DICE General Manager and Vice President likes to put it, talking about the smaller innovations that are being introduced to the multiplayer.

We covered a lot of the new additions here in our first impressions of Battlefield 4 multiplayer, but there still are a few goodies that were left unexplained.

Luckily, we recently had the chance to pick Troedsson’s brain about some of the more mysterious aspects of Battlefield 4′s multiplayer.

For instance, some of you may have noticed a small green bar that fills up next to the mini-map in Battlefield 4′s heads-up-display as you perform certain actions while in game. I asked Troedsson what it’s all about – what does it do, and how does one fill it up?

“Well, that’s a concept that we call ‘Field Upgrades,’” he said, “Long-lasting fans might recognize part of this concept from 2142.”

“Basically, it’s a non-persistant upgrade system that goes for you and your squad, meaning that if you play together and you have team scoring events, you will upgrade in various tiers on this Field Upgrade list. You will unlock things like more ammo, more grenades, and various boosts that can help you and your squad.”

There are, however, a couple of twists. Troedsson added, “…if your squad, for instance, is wiped out, you will fall down a tier, and it’s also, as I mentioned, not persistant, so this will just be per-session, and then you have to restart. We put this in there because we really wanted people to play – be recognized for playing even more together.”

He also mentioned that “This then replaces the old specialization system that we had.”

If you watched the latest Battlefield 4 multiplayer trailer, you’ll notice that, near the very end, a soldier manages to reverse a takedown technique initiated by the enemy, resulting in his foe’s demise, instead of his own. I asked Troedsson how exactly this will work in-game.

“This isn’t entirely done, but as it currently stands, if somebody comes up to you and you actually have the opportunity to see them – so there’s an element that you can actually sneak up behind somebody and they can’t counter you, as it is now,” he explained. “But basically, if somebody melees you, and you melee them back with the right timing, you are actually the winner instead.”

Humorously, he added, “We know how interested people are in taking other people’s dog tags, especially ours. They keep hunting us all over the internet. Very frustrating. Thank you, players. So actually, we implemented the feature just for our own sake [laughs].”

“No we didn’t. But currently, it’s not like it turns into a sword fight. You can counter once and if you miss, then you miss, and if you manage to do it, then you manage. It’s something I think we’re going to need to test a bit and see how it works out, but it’s definitely a feature we’re excited about.”

I then asked about any other new additions Troedsson could think of.

“There’s so many new things under the hood in that second-to-second experience that I think a lot of people will like,” he said.” I tried to remember all of it but I can’t. Small things like we’re really revamping the entire suppression system. So, in close quarters fights, we actually don’t have that much suppression and suppression is actually toned down on a lot of the weapons. It’s more the LMG’s role to actually be the suppressor. Things like making carbines and DMRs for all the kits. So, we’re doing some changes there with the kits.”

“We have an additional feature now which is zoom-peek. So if you’re behind cover and you zoom your weapon, you automatically lean over the cover. We’re not entirely done with it just yet, but, actually, it’s testable on the floor if you want to try it out. We’re not done with it but I think that’s going to be pretty cool.”

Yea that was cool as heck and they destroyed it completely when it was immobile, no more hiding in buildings unless you want to get caught in the destruction…lol

Plus with how we can totally destroy buildings into rubble and debris, this is gonna stop the roof camping that we see now in BF3.

Thankyou for even just *starting *the thread Funbags.

The amount of content and changes from BF3 to BF4 is absurd and from all the things I know now, and from all the
live-streaming of the BF4 event—I *wanted *to make a thread but didn’t even know where to begin! Shit!

This game is a mountain in comparison the now moehill of BF3. I’m loving it. Here’s another dude who’s loving it:

I’m sitting here wondering what other sort of mindblowing (or near to being mindblowing) particle effects and entire round-lasting
effects we’ll see in the other maps we’ve not even been shown yet? I’m talking about the dust that starts to cover everything, gets pushed
around by foot soldiers, blown around by vehicles and explosions from when that tower comes crashing down in the demo that
we’ve all seen by now to this point.

***That ***sort of shit nerds me out. I like.
