DICE should be tarnished they put out a broken mess of a game end off! EA get called out and rightly so, but so should the devs.

True.

Battlefield 4 system requirements: Grift's computer :)

Will not be able to try it out, away from my gaming rig for a week. :(

I'm keeping myself entertained with FTL.

Played for the first time yesterday, on PS 4 though. It ran well enough. Being used to choppy 30 fps on Xbox 360 this was a whole different experience.

The first game was a lot of fun. Played some Shanghai and pulled off some crazy Batman stuff, flanking squads from behind. Controls feel tighter now, but that could just be the 60 fps experience. My aim, new recoil mechanics and the new controller in general gave me a lot of headaches, but luckily BF isn't just about that. But really I have doubts weapons like the AEK and ACE are viable on consoles at all. It took me a lot of hours to perfect my aim with the M16 and AEK in BF3 (although noobs will claim it was easy). In BF4 I don't see myself doing that. I guess the weapons are meant to be like that, but when there is no snowballs chance in hell a console player could ever dream of controlling the SCAR-H, why bother putting the weapon into the game? They should have made it a bit easier on the console players.

There are also some design choices I couldn't wrap my head around. On the one hand this game can be very fast due to increased squad size, map design, impact grenades et all, especially if you are on some of the most contested flags. On the other hand DICE decided to reduce the amount of mobility you can realistically utilize by making hipfire useless and adding initial ADS spread. This just makes for some very frustrating moments and it's just not very fun for someone who has good situational awareness and the muscle memory to mop a squad in tight situations.

What really pissed me off, was the fact that DICE didn't bother to let me adjust my vehicle controls the way I like them. Default settings play like Halo and that is good until you want to pull off some advanced maneuvering shit. "Veteran" settings aren't like the old ones at all and unplayable for me. Also the server lag was ridiculous at times. Not being able to see the ping right away is a fucking joke.

All in all, I liked the game way more that I thought I would. Although, and that could be the new community on the PS4, the noob sniping is just too stronk. Well and the unlocks just piss me off in general. Being so weak at the start, especially as the engineer, is a chore. I mean that weak ass noob launcher and PDW, why o why?

I am dissapointed in the ps4 console so far, I have played 3 games killzone, bf4 and ac4, all are 'ok'. But after playing bf4 on pc in ultra and then playing the ps4 version which to me looks like its around low/medium quality, is dissapointing, maybe my expectations are to high, yes the textures are around the same but there are so many effects missing, its a couple of layers away from the pc version in any quality. The other 2 games killzone at 'times' looks great, at others its no better than ps3 with better resolution, ac4 is great resolution but again the effects are missing water quality shadow quality ect, hopefully this will improve in time or I will stick to pc and jsut by ps4 exclusive as I did on ps3, just was expecting BETTER on ps4.

Yeah wasnt expecting the ps4 version to be as good as pc in ultra, but the reviews were saying its comparable to pc in high which clearly isnt the case, anyway as public enemy said dont believe the hype.

Could be new SSD or the patches but played 4-5 rounds of cq without a single crash. :D

And for the real test, a whole round of Siege of Shanghai without a crash. Dat map man! And i havent even tinkered with downclocking, playing the 32 bit-version etc. It just works!

Yes, beta access was a bit too expensive for my taste though. :)

I'm been enjoying the ACE 23 lately. With only the scope and not attachment I'm getting better aim than all other weapons.

I'm using it with only the angle grip because it doesn't add any penalty and I was aiming quite well with it with out the need of attachment, but somehow I'm not aiming as good as I was with out the angle grip, so I might go back to no attachment.

Just had some true bf moments shooting down a little bird and a jet with rpg. :)

It feels like my steering sensitivity change when i change the vehicle sens, shouldn't this setting be for aiming only?
