Battlefield 4

It defeats logic that everyone’s so eager to kill each other.

Serza, have you ever considered that the reason video games are unrealistic is because the reality of war is far too horrifying to be entertaining?

Yeah… I’m pretty sure a game with good graphics like BF4 having realistic wounds would be way too much. Even for the current games industry.

Just google “gunshot wound” (or better yet, don’t). They’re the special kind of wound that reminds you of how fragile we really are. Besides, your character dying from one shot to the leg would kill the fun too much.

I’m just gonna stick with the 20mm flak round to the face being instantly cured by the holy defibrilators.

Screw logic, Battlefield has never been about logic. And what the fuck does good graphics have to do with realism in this context?

War is a piece of shit and there are none worth dying for or fighting for at the moment.

Well, it’s not crashing as often as it used to. However, sometimes I get this strange UI glitch where I can’t see the minimap, crosshair, ammunition or health bar. Does anyone else get anything like that?

Hey, don’t beat me down, I pretty much surrendered with the whole balance post.

I can’t speak for BF4’s balance other than Beta… and it being more or less BF3.5…
But I considered BF3’s release balance a good one. I mean, a single 20mm in your face wouldn’t result in an instadeath, but three more would result in a bloody outcome. Similar with sniper rifles. Either you double tap the guy, or headshot him… or he laughs back.

Soooooooo you’re judging the whole game just on the beta? That’s a bit harsh, considering weeks have passed and the beta was extremely glitchy.

The Beta, the fact it’s the same as BF3, and the fact everybody says how it sucks?

Battlefield 4 is fucking great, and it’s a step up from 3 in almost every way. The only thing that bothers me about it is ho-

CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH CRASH

People who say BF4 is BF3.5 really do need to get their eyes fixed.
I’m not really crashing very often anymore, however I do encounter that strange UI glitch I mentioned above more and more.

‘fact’

I’m not crashing in between matches anymore, but a lot of times the game will lock up and I’ll to end the process.

My favourite improvement in BF4 compared to 3 that I’ve seen so far (only played the beta) is the removal of that nasty dirty lens effect.

Awesome! Now it’ll be possible to fight uphill without your screen being 70% white.

Just played through a few matches where everything was extremely stable and had no latency issues whatsoever.

When it comes together like it should, this game shits on everything in the BF series until this point.

Does anyone else remember when the biggest problem people had with Battlefield was the profanity filter in Bad Company 2? Good times.

My brother actually bought this game today (on Xbone) and told me a few hours later that he wasn’t able to connect at all. He called EA support but had to go to work, so I’m not sure what the status of it is now.

I hope they burn, if only for my own entertainment.

Sorry for what your brother is going through.

I had pre-ordered this and then cancelled my order before it released. Looking at the way things turned out, I’m glad I did. I’ll wait a few months and let EA patch the hell out of it, and then pick it up at a cheaper price.

Typical Chinese propaganda. Move along. Nothing to see here.
