And the IRNV. Kind of annoying.
yeah, you can get them either via random bronze silver and gold battlepacks, or via the specialized weapon battlepacks that you get after 210 kills with said weapon.
Is that a joke? They aren't even hitting 1080p? Any word from DICE on why?
1.84 Tflops GPU? What do you expect?
Xbox One version is running in 1280x720 and has no AA at all xD

Sorry, what did you put spot on? The trackpad button you mean?
The legacy controls on PS3 aren't actually the same as BF3 unfortunately. Not only that, but for vehicles they suck
Hopefully the legacy controls on PS4 are actually the same as the BF3 controls were.
In BF3 you had L2 and R2 for brake and accelerator, L1 to zoom, and R1 to fire. That worked great because it meant you could do all those things while using the two sticks to correct course and turn the turret. Those were good controls.
The BF4 "legacy" controls on PS3 have L1 and L2 for accelerator and brake, R1 to fire, and to zoom you have to press up on the d-pad (R2 is used for Spot). So to move your vehicle while correcting course and zooming in, you need to press L1, move the left stick, and press up on the d-pad at the same time. Try doing that right now. Unless you have two left thumbs, that control scheme simply doesn't work. To me it indicates pretty clearly that that control scheme was never actually tested, just added in a config file somewhere to tick a box.

They have to work on the commander mode to make it more appealing. In half the games Ive played there were no commanders (conquest 64)
The squads always ignore whatever target you give them even if its just the base they are walking towards. Indeed its not easy to see what the commander wants from you and the squad leader can just override the command. Most people probably dont know how to accept or decline commander orders. If squad leader and commander give the same order it should count as an order from the commander.
If someone wants an ammo drop or vehicle drop the commander can not see who and where
The ipad app is nice but its not very fun to play commander atm

It will, a patch will add it. JackFrags footage of Xbox One was incomplete code confirmed by DICE.

Faster bullet travel, better damage output and preference, so yes I like the gun. But I will change it after I get the last sniper rifle unlock

I don't know what the situation is with AA on the XBone, but if you're talking about @repi (Johan Andersson)'s tweet, he said that a patch was bringing AO to XBone (rather than AA). That was in response to the DF article.

Oh I see... I may have gotten the two muddled then.

Man, the framerate goes to shit when you play with smokes lol.
Found the perfect class for Op. Locker Rush. Infrared sight on whichever gun you prefer. Smoke nades, smoke 40mm add grenadier and you have 10 smokes at your disposal. Just smoke the entire room, watch the framerate drop to 10-15 fps casually enter and pick off all targets in slow-motion, cause no-one sees you, but you do lol.
I call this my "Smoke weed err'day"-class.

Swedish servers are the freaking worst.
80% of every match is unbalanced as heck. One team, mine or theirs I don't really care, usually have every good player and just steamrolls the other completely. Most matches end like 500 - 0 tickets. And I hate my countrymen when it comes to online gaming, us Swedish players turns into real pricks when going online.
Vent done, just had 4 bad matches in a row.

I actually found myself to do significantly better with the ironsights / low power sights on sniper rifles than going with the default 8x scopes. I use them like a really slow firing DMR. I couldn't hit anything using the default sniper scopes, which was a bit of a shock considering I found sniping in BF3 fairly easy. I think it's a combination of faster player movement and what "feels" like higher damage weapons making a much faster paced game.
Playing on PC btw.
Edit: I just checked Battelog, I have 30% accuracy with the CS-LR4 and the M40A5. Good lord.

Compression is the biggest offender here.

I don't think I've ever had a bad game with that yet.
Definitely makes things more intense, my accuracy is like 37.

If you're Commander, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a ton of people on the roof there only to lob a cruise missile down on them and see the kills just rack up.
Yeah, they need to give the commander more info like you said. Or have more ways that the Commander can be more involved besides spamming UAVs. The cruise missiles are the most fun since it feels like you're actually doing something to influence the battle but everything else like gunships are pretty passive.
I think that, as commander, you should be able to designate gunship routes to aid your ground troops.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know if my GPU could be the problem for BF4 running like shit?
CPU is AMD FX-8320 with 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, GPU is 1GB 560ti. Windows 8 as well.
I run BF3 at 1900x1080 with a mix of Ultra/High and I hit 45-60FPS consistently, but BF4 seems to run terribly, even on all low settings.
I'm thinking it could be the vram on my GPU? I've been thinking of upgrading to a 760 or 770.

Unlock Mortars, it does wonders.
I'm not absolving any potential game unstability of BF4 on PS4 from DICE, but I hear PSN is partially the culprit here so connections to the servers are being artificially throttled. You can start 64/64 servers but pretty much every one is empty currently because people don't want to sit around and wait plus not that many people have picked up the game yet on the platform.

CANNOT get this game to run on PS4. I get that error every single time.
Yeah, you're running the settings too high for your card and probably hitting the VRAM limit. Try turning off post processing and post AA. Textures on medium and everything else on high w/HBAO. If you want to play with higher settings, you may need a new GPU.
And can invite friends to group up for a game. I thought I would add that, unless anyone knows how,

I caved in and bought this. Strangely I seem to do better than in BF3.
I've got a question because the game itself is really obtuse about providing facts. Does it really take 5 shots from a LAW to kill an IFV? I always did 21 damage with my engineer, even when shooting from the rear.

Someone is probably repairing it.

Anyone else having really bad lag past few days in this game or is it just my connection acting up?
The LAW always hits from above. Always does the same amount of damage. It's why some people label it "overpowered". Also it was probably being repaired, yes.

There are three constants on the PS4 version that just rustle my jimmies.
1. Getting Dashboarded every 3-4 games.
2. No available Conquest matches? WTF
3. Server browser is FUBAR
These issues make this game damn near unplayable for me.

Just played an hour of team deathmatch with no issues. Maybe things are getting better?
I'm not entirely sure where to put this question, so hopefully you don't mind me putting it here.
My friend and I both run capable rigs, he with a 760 and I with a 780, but in the BF4 beta we found the performance completely unacceptable. So we decided to wait to pick it up on the PS4 where the performance would hopefully be less of an issue, and neither us have any qualms with playing on a controller. However, there's been little real meaningful comparisons between the PS4 and PC versions of the game in terms of graphical fidelity, and in a game like Battlefield 4 it feels to me as though that visual flair is a big part of the atmosphere and the experience. Has anyone played both versions of the game, and if you have could you maybe tell me how the two versions stack up graphically? I know the PS4 has a slightly lower resolution, but this is mostly about texture quality and how the destruction looks. Are there also any missing parts of maps? I know the 360 and PS3 lost items like the bar area in the skyscraper in Shanghai, which changed firefights for the worse. I imagine the maps are the same given the 64 players, but just in case. This is also mostly about online play as the campaign isn't that vital.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I managed to post about half of a sentence of this the first time. My apologies.

Same here
I played the first 2 hours of the SP yesterday and 3 matches of Domination, no problems at all. Since last night and right now, I cannot get in the game at all. Kicks me out to the UI with the same error code.I know what you mean. I think it is because we are so nice/attractive/wise/amazing otherwise, gotta get that hate out somehow.
Yeah i guess its something to be expected during a Platform launch.
But worry not, im still a DICE fanboy!
Also.. poor little Live Team... ;_;

So...I did that PS3 to PS4 upgrade thing with my disc copy of Battlefield 4, and I downloaded the game off PSN. Once it finished installing, I started the game and was only able to finish the first mission before I got stopped from playing. The main menu said the campaign was 100% installed, but as soon as I got to the second mission it said that only 5% was installed, and I needed to wait. Also, it seems stuck at 5%. Anyone else experience something like this?
Finally got into some multiplayer servers on the PS4.
Maybe I'm a crazy raving lunatic, but is Flood Zone the worst multiplayer map ever created?
It's so strange that they would base an entire map around using their weakest player system. It's nothing but complete frustration on the players part.
Jump off a building? You're in water can't shoot.
Strafe to avoid someone firing at you? Good thing we placed this tiny 2 foot canal in the alley way! You're in water can't shoot.
See someone you want to shoot? You're in water can't shoot, they shoot you.
Want to hide under water? Sure. Raise your head above water, can't shoot get shot.
Finally get the drop on someone? Well, you're in water, so push yourself against the shore, press X, mantle halfway out of the water then fall back in, then press X and try again. Mantle halfway out and then get shot.
It is the worst. So absurdly bad I'm amazed it got green lit at the most base level. It's like being stun locked for the entire game.

Have been able to play a lot on PS4. Shame conquest doesn't work.
Share button videos also don't record sound which is sad. I got quite a few awesome moments that are now silent
