Thanks for the tips, guys. I don't have time to watch the Gamespot vid yet, but I'll see if I can find a summary on Reddit or something later.

Battlefield 4: Official "Paracel Storm" Multiplayer Trailer

Damavand is one of the better vanilla rush maps, and decent enough for conquest. Kharg does both great.

Caspian is great with 64 players. Love that map.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Kharg is my favorite BF3 map by a wide margin. Bummed that it was skipped in the remix.

No, I'm not happy.
I actually liked using the suppression specialisation to further enhance suppression, I would make them inaccurate and manage to escape if they got the drop on me, and in general it is quite handy when you are pushing to an area with your squad, suppression makes people hide and engage less.
It was quite handy. Now I have to see how much the sway will affect aim before I judge whether it's better or worse, but I imagine it will be easier.
"Squad assists can count as kills if you contibuted the most to the kill (maybe >90%?)
Ladder climbing is faster"
THANK YOU JEBUS. Two of the most annoying things in the game, getting shot off ladders, and losing the kill because someone sweeps in and does the last 2% of damage.

Damavand is great for rush and CAN be good as a conquest map. I think Kharg gets REALLY difficult sometimes though on rush. Attackers have a hard time usually when I play on that map, trying to push up on the shore lines. I love it for conquest though.
You and me both. We had some great rounds on Kharg.
edit: and I'm not just saying that because of our Viper dominance.

If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
Who said they dont? Where is that quote from?

Will Wake be coming back? I absolutely love Wake Island

Looks like a negative.
It's Metro, Caspian, Oman, and Firestorm.
Fortunately, BF4 maps all look pretty awesome so far. Tempers the pain a bit.

It will be veeeery interesting to see how they balance this--from the few screens I saw, it looks like there are actual differences between similar attachments. Even the different suppressors seem to have different pros and cons.

So far is all sounds really good. Levelcap did a good vid on them from the E3 build. They all seems to have a pretty cool, distinct uses atm.
Actually this one might be better.

because you're playing Rush.
and have you seen that map? you need boats to get to capture points.
Now maybe they bring the IFV to the first part of metro, like in the original BF3 trailer.
And it seems there will not be capture the flags. Sad.
And none of the expansion names suggest some close quarters dedicated expansion. That sounds good.
And now, just wait to know how many maps the vanilla game would have.

You can chose any faction you want on any stage.

Yeah, saw those, he has great vids. Is he at Gamescom?
Not quite--I think the server can pick the factions, but you can only have two at a time?

Huh, didn't know that. That's pretty cool. Do faction specific vehicles change on which faction is chosen on the server?

Did you play it with 64 players? BF3 console and PC players hated different maps for either being too big/open or too small/chokepointy. The map selection for both ended up being a frankenstein mix because they tried to appease everyone.
It would be nice if they reworked Metro to be viable for Conquest, like opening up the ground above the metro.

"levolution", top of metro gets h-bombed and comes crumbling down. So crazy it just might work
Email and tweet the fuck out of DICE now. This needs to happen!

Here is some Paracel Storm footage from Gamescom showfloor

Also, she confirms that the big cruiser is that maps levolution feature like skyscraper in shanghai.

There we go. Kharg is kinda meh as one of the 64 player maps anyways.
I have the 360 version of BF3 as well as PC, and nearly any time I play with my friends, they want to play on the maps I dislike, and they tell me that the maps I like feel too empty.
Kharg, Caspian, Firestorm, etc... is all a no-go, while they favor Metro, Bazaar, and the more close/urban maps.
It's going to be interesting to see how they react to 64 players being the focus on all but the old platforms.

I hope you can use native VO like you could in BC2 and BF2, really don't like having English with Russian/Chinese accents.

I cant believe they have NOT thought of this before.
might be too late to add that now though.
3 factions at once for BF5, believe.

Any videos with the Chinese voices? Would be interested to see how bad Dice did their accent

They say "we'll pass that along to the team" for almost everything that gets thrown at them.
New kill cam @ 1:42. Zomg!
...I think he's being sarcastic lol.

I'm about as moist as an ocean right now
They still don't get that a good kill cam ( if such thing exist ) is one who show how you died, not what you killer do afterward.
Well at least it isn't in hardcore.

Man, DICE has gotten so much better at weapon models from vanilla BF3 to now. New weapons look spectacular.
Very interesting...not sure how I feel about it, though.

I tweeted them too, per your suggestion above. They gave me a similar response "thank you, we will pass the suggestion along to the team".
I mean, they'd have to add a 3rd uncap/deployment to each map in Conquest mode, and dial back vehicles just a tad so there's not toooooooooo much iron/air at all times.
But I think this mode could be a lot of fun.

Just realised something... what's gonna happen with Wake Island in this game? I mean it's appeared in every single mainline BF game so far (well except for Vietnam, but that explains itself), yet it isn't in the old map DLC.
So it's either they pull a Bad Company and don't include it at all, which I wouldn't mind to be honest, or they'll include it in a future DLC pack where the expectation is that we'd be seeing all new maps after Second Assault hits. So who really knows what DICE is planning with DLC maps this time around.

Pretty much better than any reveal I've seen so far
Dice knows how to make a trailer.
