When can I read more about it? Do you know what exactly will be better on PS3?
Hahaha. That was great. And the chopper always being destroyed.
Awesome. Let me know if you need a hand with anything, can do some GIFs / GIF logos or some amateur photoshop work.

You sumbitch
Fable Anniversary launches later than expected
Huh. Description of Javelin already makes a major change: You have to HOLD the lock/stay in the sight until it hits the targets. No more firing and forgetting after lock-on.
Same with the IGLA but the Stinger doesn't need to do that. So... why pick the IGLA over the Stinger? (Oh, re-reading it's a range-game. Eh...)
SRAW sounds like the AT4 replacement.
One thing I like to see is bigger map use on small game modes.
That SDM, TDM and DOM get played in different parts of the map. And as I don't know all the rules on Defuse, it seems they're gonna be short games, so it would be cool that mode were round based, and each round on a different part of the map.

Well a lot of babies play Battlefield and if everyone would be required to shoot down choppers with RPGs, then good pilots would forever go unchallenged.
There is: Using a stinger, having them pop to avoid your lock, relock as they bail from the cloud and nailing them.
Cry more. Dumb firing RPGs isn't something everyone can do.

nothing beats the time i took out a chopper with a flamethrower in BC2:Vietnam
he was already weak from gunfire and tried to come in for the roadkill... DENIED

Battlefield 3 and its DLCs were fun, but honestly at this point with BF4 so close I'd just wait, especially if you put a significant amount of time into the beta. BF3 would feel pretty different and you'd have to deal with its implementation of suppression which was kind of annoying, especially for snipers. Also the weapon unlocks would take you quite awhile to get.
Just wait. BF4 is like a extremely polished refinement of BF3 (in most areas).

Only if you plan on getting Premium. Almost all the best maps are DLC.
There is. I took a chopper down that was carrying the bomb WITH an RPG WHILE parachuting. That will never happen again, lol. I sure could have used the PS4 share button back then...
I think that's only when they're locked on (which they apparently can't even do anyway.) Non-guided RPGs will still kill in one hit.
After playing the BF4 beta, I'm going to say skip BF3. Tanks were janky in the beta, but everything else... Can't wait for the end of the month, and REALLY can't wait for November 15..
Counter stabbed two people in a row then squad wiped the last guy with a pistol shot to the face. I guarantee that will never happen when I can share the video.
RPGs will no longer be capable of lock in release per DICE.
Do you even Bad Company 2?

Of course. Though I primarily used the AT4 in that game. Never had much luck shooting down choppers with dumbfire rockets unless the pilot is half asleep.
I'm guessing BF4's SP is going to look super pretty

Of course lock-on rockets are required, if everyone was as stubborn as me when trying to take down a chopper without a lock-on then it would be one one-sided game!
I just enjoy the challenge and the great feeling I get when I land a really crazy shot is awesome.
I like to do the same with tanks as well, but this was a little harder in BF4 since the drop on the shells are insane now compared to 3. I hope they tweak so that the drop-off starts a little further away.
Pre-ordered the game the other day, got myself an i7 4770K and have Windows 8.1 installed. I'm all ready for battle!

I unfortunately was too busy to get to try out the BF4 beta, but how should I expect the performance to be if BF3 runs at 60fps in high/ultra settings?
Here are my specs:
i5 - 2320 (3ghz)
GTX 670
8gb RAM
Win7 64

It basically had an awareness of a second monitor so it put the entire map up on mine whilst i was playing on my main. Was quite handy to quickly eyeball left to see where i was in relation to which points etc. Clever.
I still find the Battlelog stuff confusing as anything - when it launches Chrome, my brain shuts down in confusion.
This made me laugh as it's exactly how I am with Battlelog.. just no idea! http://videogamesnewsvideogamesnews.com/news-dice-clueless-as-to-how-battlelog-works/
Here you go - shows the second screen stuff : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVhqqaS9W88

For me personally on my setup I got half the fps in bf4 than 3. I was getting 60+ in bf3 and same settings in bf4 like 30-40 dips into 20's
Yeah I did this for a bit. I'd probably use it more if I could rearrange my monitors, like one above the other.
Side by side would be fine if I sat farther back though lol.
I have very similar but it never felt 60 to be honest. It was very up and down. Hoping it's more stable in final as BF3 is certainly 60 constant for me.
This should probably run it on high at 60fps. The game is more demanding than BF3. They will probably improve the performance a little, compared to the beta, with better drivers and some more optimization, but it will most probably not run like BF3 with the same settings.

I enabled the second screen stuff, but never really made use of it. It was fun though.
It does feel good. However, It felt almost too easy hitting choppers with your rpg in the beta. You didn't even need to be accurate. The chopper hitbox for the rpg in the beta was op imo.
Here is a gif if it helps. The rpg path is much lower but still connects.

I doubt that setup will get 1080p @ 60fps unless release is way more optimized. I'm confused what to get too. I think I may just go ps4 if beta represents final performance.
Any confirmation on next-gen versions running at 720P?
Pretty sure I read that 720p was confirmed for Xbox One version. We don't know about PS4 yet.

If you go through the GIF frame by frame it looks like the RPG did penetration damage to the bottom edge of the chopper and then clipped right through it.It does feel good.
