Pathetic? lol game was shit back when I made those posts pretty sure


Nope, not even. Firstly, the game was launch ready (at most) two months after it was released. Secondly, you couldn't be sure, since you have never played it. The support for BF4 has just gone above and beyond what was promised, and it's better than ever. That's all.

And BF3 was good too, but you barely tried it. You found out that rush sucked, and rushed to judgment.

Deny it all you want. Your thread shitting was done in ignorance.

I'm opening this can, because I think Hardline sucks dick and the series has been on a downward slope
This is just one example, but it's my favorite, and the most amusing.

I do think they should make Rush-specific maps in the next Battlefield. Trying to make rush maps out of conquest maps is the reason it sucks in BF3/4

I could see it happening, but I really hope they don't. Rush is not as popular as conquest, and cutting the number of conquest maps in half would be pretty shitty. If they need to make rush specific maps, I want them to do it in a spin-off.

But I don't like rush, so I partly disagree with your assessment. Rush is practically functional on a few BF3/4 maps, but I think it stinks anyway. It's only fun with a handful of people, and it just throws players at each other. I think conquest is more tactically rewarding, especially for big teams. And that's where Battlefield offers the highest degree of variety. That's what is most unique to the franchise.

Personally.. I'd rather they cut most of the new game modes, including rush. Conquest has suffered because of the other game types. We no longer have assault/double assault maps. BF2 only had conquest and it was better for it.

But I'm a bit (half?) of a purist. I don't actually expect that.

Really.. Who the fuck knows what to think of BF5? I hope the "A team" takes a good look at what DICE LA has done in BF4. Tigger and his crew should probably have some influence over the next Battlefield game.

Edit: I believe Battlefront will have game mode specific maps.

I think there's a big enough portion of the fanbase that enjoys Rush that they can't outright dump it. If they built a few maps with rush in mind, but also allowed conquest to be playable on them... would that work? Not sure... but in order for Rush to really show off why its such a great mode, you have to have maps that are built with it in mind from the ground up.

BC2 proved that Rush can be a very popular and fun mode, just look at the articles praising BC2 and why they love it (and dice themselves admitting they're not sure what they got so RIGHT about BC2). I think it really just comes down to map design, and a few other tweaks like simplifying the weapon/class/upgrade system a bit.

Having said all of that, I think BF4's conquest mode is the best thing they've done since BC2 and is a hell of a lot of fun. If vehicles weren't so wildly OP I'd consider pushing it ahead of BC2 in terms of pure fun had.

I don't agree, but you knew that already.

I'm sure you're right about this: they probably won't dump rush. I'm just dreaming. We've already spent too much time tweaking rush layouts in CTE. I think it's a waste of time personally :)

They're not even done adding modes to BF4. Gun master (gun game/arms race) will be in the next update. I don't really care for it in CTE, and I'm a big fan of it in CS:GO.

My hope for the near future is a classic mode server on 24/7 night maps.

Oh man can you imagine if they just remade all the BC2 maps in BF4's engine? I know you wouldn't like it, but god damn that would be awesome.

I just want more BF3 maps. Seems like it should be easy. They were rumored before the night maps.

And there's the problem. Your opinion is influenced by anecdote and not experience.

Generally speaking, you're full of shit. Good day.

Awesome :)

Just don't get 100% caught up on your KDR. You could get it up to like 10+ if you just farm noobs all day, but it's really all about playing that objective with your squad. I love being "in the shit." That's when Battlefield is exciting. It's where all those "moments" happen.

And yea you'll probably get sick of hackusations after a while. It's become an epidemic in online games now. There are no good losers anymore. Only scrubs. There's a healthy population of shitty players out there. I guess that's every game :D

I love that BF4 puts the Elo stat right at the top of your profile. It helps draw attention to the idea that stats are a packaged deal.

I already mentioned Symthic.com, but BF4stats.com is another good resource if you're interested in deeper stat tracking. It makes it a little easier to see your progress. I find if you monitor any metric (KDR, etc).. you're much more likely to improve it.

And visit cte.battlelog.com if you're interested in seeing where the game is headed.

Those TBG servers are generally pretty good. I really enjoy their Final Stand server, and their Dragon's Teeth server when it's actually up. And they have an excellent infantry only (+light transport) server. That tends to draw a pretty good crowd. I've played quite a few close games there.

Not sure if this is of any statistical importance, but on the leaderboards on battlelog I'm in Division 1 skill category. Is that the best one? If so, feels good man!

Yes.. and you can click the division breakdown and it'll tell you what range each division covers.

The newest version of Chrome disabled the NPAPI plugin API, which the Battlelog launcher uses. If you're having trouble updating or installing the plugin, that's why. Hopefully DICE updates the plugin in the future, but for now, you have to re-enable NPAPI here:

chrome://flags/

I saw a trailer that said preorders of Overwatch also get an extra invite code for those who want to try?

I was unaware but I suppose there will be a good amount of us with extra codes next week (including me) - so stay tuned

What in the world? :D This is the BF4 thread not the beta key thread ;) I played a bit of BF4 last weekend. It's still a riot! And now that the Overwatch beta is over, I have been firing up a slew of other arcade shooters to fill the void. DirtyBomb is still 1) janky as hell and 2) the best.

The Overwatch beta is open to all on May 5th too, so everyone should be able to try it.

Oh I think you have to pre-order Overwatch by tomorrow (29th) to get early access.

I am going to grab it this afternoon. I still can't decide if I want to waste $20 on skins. I kinda do.

Yeah you do

I preordered the bonus skins one last month actually
My friends I'm playing with will probably do the same so I can't hold it over their heads

Great. Now you've convinced me that it's a dumb idea ;)

They're going to be super common at launch, but you'll see fewer of them as the game gets older and they are either unavailable or as people start unlocking different skins.

I only regularly play Tracer and Pharah of that set. I might dabble in Reaper too but I hate that skin. And I just loathe soldier in general.

But yea.. still leaning that way. It might be the only new release I grab in the Spring.

I feel like it's the first game I'm genuinely excited about in a long time so I don't mind spending

However that top tier one is where my excitement ends, as much as I'd like to have that art book :(

Played some more BF4 last night. Still still a riot.

I put in my order for the Origins edition. I doubt I'll wear many of those skins after I re-unlock some beta goodies.




The legendary skins are pretty good.
