well if it supports cross gen the nextgen machines better support 64 players.
BF3 seemed like it was balanced first for 64 players then scaled back to 24(to poor effect) for consoles.
Being cross gen would seem contradictory to what EA is ultimately trying to achieve with FB2 but scalability is a feature they touted heavily on.
It still seems like an exorbitant cost involved to run servers for 4-5 different consoles and PC. I mean this is EA we're talking about.
BF4 being 64 players on PS4/720 would be a major selling point and reason alone to invest in nextgen.
idk, I'm bad at this sorta thing
I dunno i think you've sold me!!
I would assume that like BF3 on PC/360/PS3, EA would also push for players to rent their own servers for BF4 to diminish the costs.

If the leak is true (signs point to yes so far), the next gen consoles will have 64 players, which I agree will make a strong case for me to jump into next gen when the game comes out.

So the second thing in the teaser looks like something is underwater (submarine)? Third thing looks like a tank. But what is the thing in the first part of the teaser with the water drop? Is it a gun?
Could be water condensation in an aircraft. To give air, land, sea.

I'd rather a new Bad Company. Had more fun with bc2 than bf3 (yes, pc versions)

man the Main theme to BF3 is so awesome! I hope it's just as good for BF4.
Goes perfect to the teaser also!

Gotta love a teaser of a teaser for a teaser...right?
The water in that clip confirms DICE new love for rain/water effects, and I approve.
It looked too good to be in-engine, so I hope the reveal trailer on 3/27 isn't some CGI bullshit. Thankfully DICE almost never does that, and you can bet they'll reveal with in-game footage.

It's not going to be a teaser for the 26th / 27th. It is a full reveal just like BF3 at GDC 2 years ago.

yeah might just be tank threads...
There was a teaser before the GDC reveal for BF3. Two, actually. So they could certainly tease before the reveal.
I hope its a naval mine and certainly looks like it with particles floating in water. That or it's a tank coming out of shallow water.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
It's certainly tank treads at the end... I mean, just before that though, a different object is submerged. Could be a hatch, or anything really. Anything riveted. And that's how you fabricate most military-engineered submersibles... so again... could be anything.

no because the main series outsell the BFBC games. Atleast BF3 did.

My only complain was the lack of true BF experience. The game was COD´zide and dumbed down to "street fights". It lack that feel of a grand scheme, someone watching from high above (the commander obviously), that hardened squad with the leader that could hold against all odds (oh kubra dam, oh the memories).
But i really liked BF3, and have high hopes for the 4 (this time TRUE NEXT GEN i hope)
idk, I'm bad at this sorta thing
My body is ready.

I hear this a lot, but the most popular BF2 map was Karkand by a landslide.

With BF3's DLC we technically still had this. you would probably have enough to have kits for
American(M4, M16, ACR, etc)
German(G3, G36C, UMP, etc)
British(L85, L96, L86, etc)
Chinese( KH2002, QBZ-95B, QBB-95, etc)
Russian( AKS-74u, AN-94, AEK-97,etc)
with plenty of others like the Famas(France) thrown in.

On current gen consoles... there would literally not be a single infantryman on the ground.
I completely disagree with this, and I have played every Battlefield title since the beginning. The DLC "Close Quarters" was CODesque but that was about it.
Yeah I don't get it either, there is plenty of BF moments in Battlefield 3.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Uh...what? What does that have to do with certification?
Nailed it.
I seriously hope that "Prepare 4 Battle" isn't the official slogan but then again, I won't be surprised if it is. ty
HOLY SHIT
The worst part of that .gif is knowing that I'll never ever be as good as that.

Two words: Operation Metroll. Probably the worst map in BF history. Its a toss up with it and Cao Son Temple in BC2: Vietnam.
So this is what you're more likely to do then?
The sad part of this is that it's what I usually look like after not playing for a few months since I rarely play MP games.
Will we get another one of these threads?

I wasn't here for the BF3 reveal. Can't wait to get on the madness this time around.

That's an amazing shot considering it's on consoles.
For me, a real Battlefield experience is cramming your squad into the lone helicopter in Mashtuur City and wrecking havoc; it's infiltrating an island in the dead of night on Devil's Perch; it's grappling into the upper floor of the palace in Warlord and sneaking behind enemy lines; it's swimming with your friends over to the enemy's carrier in Gulf of Oman; it's boating through the mist in Songhua Stalemate; it's being surrounded and holding out in the middle of nowhere in Highway Tampa; it's commanding your team to victory... Battlefield 3 had none of those moments for me.

the new add on pack for BF3 is really amazing! I love these new maps
Hopefully BF4 will be a return to form. If the rumors about commander mode are true and the chinese faction returning, it sure feels a lot more like BF2.
The Chinese leak rumor, which has been accurate so far, is that the PS4 version will be 1080p/60/64 players and EA kind of hinted at that on their fiscal call. Here's hoping that's true.
