Spot on.
That's still in.
That's no blue tint. The colors become washed out due to the storm, just like in real life. This is how it looks normally:

Again, please take note of the sun.

Pre-storm:
Color picker on center of sun: 255,254,255
Color picker on edge of sun: 250,247,242
Post-storm:
Color picker on center of sun: 255,255,255
Color picker on edge of sun: 245,246,247
So MAYBE there is a SLIGHT blue tint to the sun post-storm, but the blue levels pre-storm are objectively lower than red/green.
There IS some blue tint going on, post-storm, but there is also desaturation, it looks like. I don't think it's anywhere near BF3, though.
As good as it is seeing the awesome PC vids that are getting released, it's just as frustrating how we haven't seen any PS4 or Xbox One screenshots/vids yet.

If Metro is coming back, it better add a lot more paths instead of the stupid as hell constant choke points.

Yeah, terrible choke points on that map.
But god damn nothing compared to some on the BFBC2 Vietnam maps.

I hate metro map feels like an map you use to bump up your k/d ratio so friends wont laugh if it drops below 1.0
Or use it to unlock weapon attachment fast.
I wonder if the 'projectile defence thing' (TM) that you can deploy will be a suitable counter the grenade spam that usually occurs on that level.

can't hear you over the sound of my m249
They tested it affecting weapons. It wasnt fun what so ever for obvious reasons.
One of the most interesting details and one that heavily affects the pace of game is the new revive mechanics:
Quick Revive = 20-30% health
Charge Revive (1 or 2 seconds depending on spec) = 100% health
Killed <= 5 seconds after revive results in permanent death
Going to change up the pace of the game quite a bit.

I can't stop looking at your avatar and hearing him say, "He's a good Canadian boy! He can do no wrong!" Sorry, I just hate Cherry lol.
But awesome that he posted a new vid.

Weapon recoil is difficult to perceive in this pro-player vids.
I like the charging of the paddles, it does make me think back to BF2.
So if I understand correctly, if you are killed within 5 seconds of being revived you can't be revived again, correct? I'd rather they just give us 3-4 seconds of being invulnerable, but I guess either will work. Tired of being brought back only to die instantly. So frustrating when you can be suppressed even before you are brought back to life.

this is huge and very welcome imo
As it stands right now, the risk of piloting an attack chopper is too low when the pilot and gunner are fully aware of the ability to orbit camp. Nowadays, if the map's got an attack chopper on it and there's some guy at the top of scoreboard going 30-0, it's because he and his pilot sit at the edge of a map picking off any infantry that are convenient for them, not the ones that are actually relevant to the team's goals. I'm not going to applaud that, especially when the attack chopper has situated themselves so far from the map that nobody on the ground may touch them.
When you have unavoidable counters like SOFLAM-aided Javelins and Guided Missiles, I could see how restricting the borders attack choppers are able to traverse would seem worrisome. It brings up another issue altogether: the overabundance of ways to counter air support but then... I guess that's another discussion since I don't even agree with DICE inundating the Battlefield series with so many different tools at the players' disposal because the balance gets screwed up and Battlefield 3 couldn't be better proof of that. I'm still convinced DICE has no idea what they're doing in regards to balance in BF4 (letting Engineers have both rockets and a stinger) and that worries me because even when they didn't completely throw 50 million weapons into players' hands in BF2, they still didn't know how to balance the game.
It also brings up another issue that is inherent to Battlefield 3. The primary reason why attack choppers were so involved in BF2 was because the view distance was short. Orbit camping wasn't an option in BF2 due to the technical design of it, but since we're now capable of seeing things on the other side of the map in BF3, it lends itself to balance problems like the attack chopper gunner having free reign.

All developers should just hire DICE to do gun sounds for them. Everything else sounds shitty compared to this :/
I like metro, but they should bring back just the maps from B2K. I liked most of the maps on BF3 but they aren't classics like Karkand, Oman, Wake and Sharqui.

Since Caspian is coming back, does that mean they fixed the bullshit dealing with the tower at A? As in the one way railings for gun fire? Maybe just flat out shoot the tower down?

every gun has extended mags default, for example the pp2000 has it's +40 mag standard or the M249 it's 200 mag

This is incredible news. Insta revives of entire squads in seconds was BF3's biggest problem. Certain deaths should be un-reviveable too, like dying from C4 or a tank shell. It was like that in BF2.

I think they recently confirmed that knife kills are permanent.
BF4 on PS4 looks like mid graphics settings.

Hmmm is it bad that I want more weapons in bf4 :/

I doubt they even consider it a priority. And they aren't 1 way railings, they are just invisible walls. It's just that the people on the tower can easily shoot over the walls and duck behind them for cover and it's hard to get any sort of good shot on them at such extreme distances when you can only actually hit the 20% of their head that's exposed; also see head glitching, which isn't really a glitch but just shooting from your forehead as the game allows.
I'm not expecting them to change it.
I think BF3 had the same amount of weapons in the beginning, but a lot more weapons came with the DLCs.
cheers pandaL, I'll watch that later.
Am assuming that was an old build, we need an actual update from dice.

The audio is fucking nuts.
BC2 had too much bass at times and BF3 went far too realistic where everything was clicky and clacky and lacked that overall THUMP!
it seems BF4 is mixing the two and making it realistic but adding a little extra bass to everything to bring back more of that sort of Hollywood sound. It sounds incredible

War Tapes was pretty damn amazing.

War tapes is just loud. It's not consistent or clean. It's just the raw recordings
Having some tight but punchy sounds are far better
jacksepticeye
Member
Agreed on both counts. War Tapes is kinda shit in general anyway because it's overpowering. There's no balance to the soundstage, it's just an obnoxious wall of audio

I do miss BC2's metallic BOOM of a tank shell being fired in the distance.
This video once again worries me about a lack of recoil. MG's are looking like SMG's and he didn't even need to use bursts for longer-range kills due to how little the gun moved anyway...
If they tone down the thing that made BF gunplay feel 100000x better than COD, I'm going to be one sad gamer. Games SHOULD require some level of skill instead of making everything easy for any encounter. If the recoil stays the same, there's no reason not to use the fastest firing guns in the game since there's really no drawback.
Anton Sugar

I'm worried about the same thing, but on the other hand, I think it might just be LevelCap--he's been playing BF3, and BF4, for a while and probably has a good grip on the recoil.
Or maybe they just need to reduce any accuracy boost that those foregrips give to LMGs.

Some parts of the footage had crazy amounts of recoil, especially at longer ranges. Most of the kills he was getting were close to medium
