ah good point, that is probabaly right, nevermind, Ill go hide now. The DICE/BF page didnt mention any price, just that it would release for everyone 2 weeks later. So I incorrectly made the asumption....

FREE things from EA? For shame lad, for shame.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

Can't wait. Will be like playing them for the first time with 64 players conquest (only had bf3 on xbox) and with the redesign. Hopefully firestorm is worth playing now. Would be nice if dice would out up a few servers that have base + dlc maps.

 

[Mathezar]

Well, we did get a "free" 3x scope for the M1911, a gun I haven't even unlocked yet. So usefull!

 

[majik13]

FREE things from EA? For shame lad, for shame.

I know I know, though there was China Rising, but that was billed as pre order bonus.
So did only Premium Xbone users get SA? And if not what was the price for everyone else?

 

[Jigorath]

It's coming out riddled with bugs.

http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/1xte41/second_assault_arrives_on_february_18_for_bf4/

So they're shipping a broken game but promising to fix it later. Thanks EA.

 

[Wasp]

What happened to this promise?

... we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4.

Lying bastards. The campaign mode progress still frequently deletes itself on PS4.

to their credit, I think SA was pretty much done for all platforms for a good while now (since launch?). its just MS got timed exclusive rights. I dont think they have been working on it up till now. They have just been siting on it. It shipping with the same bugs/glitches in the Xbone version is testement to that.

 

[Odrion]

Gonna just keep reposting this on every page, making sure no one thinks that this game is anywhere near fixed.

Oh dear lord, this is why I don't buy EA games, and I will hold anyone who purchases this dlc responsible in part for the degradation of the gaming industry.

Stop giving this shitty company money.

they really dont give a fuck

i feel bad for the devs, because you know some of the developers probably care and want to fix stuff, but are probably just being forced to push it out please stockholders

After watching the video and seeing a group of guys try for 10 minutes to get above the map it seems that you'll get some pretty easy kills picking off guys who try this glitch.

It's clearly just damage control. I doubt that the post-launch support team and DLC team overlap much if at all. So there's very little reason to actually stop working on the DLC.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Anyone else having an issue where you're unlocks aren't available? Battlelog has them all listed, but I can't access them in game.

Yeah, I'm getting this too, it's been like that since sometime last night... I played a quick couple matches and when it didn't update with my gear, I gave up for the day.

Hope they figure this out, I'm looking forward to a few of the remixed maps tomorrow.

Also why is it so hard to join a match with a friend?

 

[legacyzero]

I want Naval Warfare more personally.

Can't wait for this one. I just want an endless ocean, with aircraft carriers, boats, choppers, jets, and nothing else

 

[NullPointer]

It's clearly just damage control.

Seeing as how these were direct, unequivocal public statements put out separately by both EA and DICE with a promise to fix the game before working on DLC I'm just going to consider them broken promises at best, and flat out lies at worst.

 

[Charcoal]

If I don't have the urge to play the game anyways, theres no way I'll start again just to play maps that I played on 3 years ago.

 

[Milennia]

I want Naval Warfare more personally.

i want SA if not only for OMAN.
however i want NS out of pure curiosity.

i love paracel, so i cant wait to see what they did with other water based, tropical maps.

 

[Maddocks]

got my premium for free because of a gamestop screw up. So I'm ready for this. Bring back some bad company 2 maps.

Why couldnt they bring back Karg island, only map in bf3 that actually felt like they put time into building it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Oh yes Paracel is awesome.

Anyway, still sound bugs and still rubberband lag at Lancang Dam. I won't buy this.

I will pay another $10 for Harvest Day

 

[Acorn]

BC1 map pack would be great. Throw in wake island for some 1942 greatness too.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

I have premium, i don´t want these maps, i will play a couple of rounds in Oman but still, i NEED NAVAL STRIKE NOW.

 

[Kanyon]

Edit: not super excited for it, wish it were BC2 maps, but still looking forward to "new maps"

What I'd give for some BC2 maps in BF4... So many good, memorable maps in that game.

I am still looking forward to Caspian and Metro though, Caspian for the wide open spaces and utter balls up tank/jet craziness and Metro is going to be great for grinding XP for unlocks.

 

[NIN90]

I have premium, i don´t want these maps, i will play a couple of rounds in Oman but still, i NEED NAVAL STRIKE NOW.

Then why exactly did you buy the season pass when one piece of DLC doesn't even interest you? And preorders got CR for free so you essentially bought the season pass for one half of its content.
Not a knock against you, but this is the reason why season passes are bullshit.

 

[Stoffinator]

It's extra nice now that nobody unlocks are working.

 

[eroots]

Wow. If that's true, then what the heck... really.. what the heck. Makes me wonder if I made the right move preordering Titanfall from EA after the BF mess..

 

[Stackboy]

Sucks that a lot of players are still experiencing hardware crashes and lots of bugs, but I've been playing plenty on PC lately and have had no issues. Can't wait for this map pack!!

 

[SmokedMeat]

spawning with no gun sometimes it comes back in like 10 seconds
no kill 0hp

I've had no gun appear a few times, but I'm running into this 0hp shit A LOT!!

 

[Prezhulio]

Lying bastards. The campaign mode progress still frequently deletes itself on PS4.

encountered that this weekend. reset campaign progress, AGAIN. never got a warning about it this time though, usually a crash and restart of bf4 prompted a corrupt save message. just flat out no campaign started now.

only so many times i'm willing to play the first 2 levels over and over.

 

[Haines]

Bf is so bloated and all this doc just turns me off more from it

 

[TheJLC]

Wow. If that's true, then what the heck... really.. what the heck. Makes me wonder if I made the right move preordering Titanfall from EA after the BF mess..

I provided the link to the actual reddit thread. The bugs have really existed since BF3 and they are still present in the game. It's likely to be in the game tomorrow and fixed in a 'later patch'.

After I lost the campaign data after a couple of times, I manually transferred the save file to a usb drive. Even to this day I still lose the data when it gets corrupted, it also corrupts the save file stored in the cloud. Thanks to my complete campaign progress sitting in a usb pen drive, I am able to retrieve it.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Anyone know what time GMT this is dropping at?

Also please have the AN-94 or am cry :'(

 

[CitizenCope]

I'm part of the problem. Can't wait. Game is too much fun.

I got sick of my save file disappearing so I started to use a USB stick. save after every chapter or two, I went and did all the unlocks, assignments, and trophies this way. the only alternative is to wait for DICE to possibly fix it.

 

[legacyzero]

Awwww... Please don't launch riddled with bugs

 

[Pancake]

I was excited to try out OP Metro with 64 players because I don't have a capable PC, but we still don't have servers for rent. I know we'll still be able to play 64 player Metro but it will be with only 800 tickets. A bit disappointed.

 

[tazz3]

Nope I got bf4 free and I won't play ea any money for these map packs

64 player Metro might be fun once or twice for the curiosity of what a magnificently dumb chokepoint grindspam it is. But shortly you'll (hopefully) realize that it's the most tedious, static bullshit map ever. It is not something worth being excited about.

 

[Trojan X]

? That's all you get? I won't part ways with my money for that.

Not defending EA or DICE in the slightest, but the assets for Second Assault must have already been done since it was out at XBone's launch.

So I'd imagine it was the Naval Strike, Dragon's Teeth, Final Stand DLCs and future BF games that they meant were on hold.

 

[LifEndz]

Edit: My bad. Post removed.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Going to pick this up for PS4. Does it run okay at this point or is it still a buggy mess?

BF4 issues I experience regularly.

- The dumb camera shake glitch makes you feel like you are in a michael bay movie
- The delayed reaction kills
- Getting killed in one hit by an assault rifle firing from well over 200m away and you have full health
- being knifed by people that are already dead (one time a guy detonated a claymore as he went in to knife me, he died and still got the knife kill)
- excessive rubber banding
- dying for no reason whatsoever, usually the kill feed shows i committed suicide
- the annoying "kill trade" which almost never happens in bf3 always happens in bf4
- the kick to xmb
- the spawning outside boundaries on golmud railway (it's really ridiculous)
- getting killed around a corner. not by grenades, usually by a pistol
- the c4 bouncing off vehicles (i throw it and witness it hit the vehicle and bounce off in a random direction usually next to me, happens too much with helicopters that hover low enough)
- you see the shot land, head shot, it must have been, guy is lying down only part you can get is head, blood spattered and everything, but no hit marker, and when he dies seconds later, no assist, not even a suppression. lucky if you get the spot bonus though.
- commander missile killing you when you are inside an impenetrable building.
- jets ramming a helicopter, destroys the heli, jet survives with nary a scratch
- Killed in action, for all air deaths, no indication who killed you or what.
- The strange friendly fire screen when you are killed by an enemy.

So far thats all i can remember.

A few new ones to add to my list. I have this weird floor glitch thing happening to me, where i glitched through the floor a couple times, happens a lot on lancang dam, happened a few times on seige of shanghai. Basically I just sort of run along and all of a sudden I'm popping through the floor like it isn't there.

Another thing is few moments in the game where the screen goes completely white and i see my soldier presumably being exorcised as he flails about reaching for help, then i am back to normal.

ZERO warning that you are being locked on, because of the sound glitches, and when the off chance you do notice you get locked on, flares do absolutely nothing, i'm serious, countermeasures in air vehicles are 99% useless, in helicopters I have never evaded missiles using counter measures, I have evaded lock ons by going behind buildings but never ever evaded the missiles.

ZERO warning I am being shot until about 2 seconds later when I am hiding and suddenly die. An example, I am on a building playing as recon and spot someone running towards me, he stops suddenly, i fire and quickly duck out the way, hit marker, so i reload while crouched and safe from harm, then i get hit by phantom delayed shots and die, by the person i was shooting at. Has happened countless times, to simply be a one off.

I want the second assault maps, i love the bf3 maps, but this is really making it difficult to warrant a purchase, i mean really difficult.

 

[Woo-Fu]

The launch really put me down on this game.

And if the launch didn't do it the series of fail patches would have. They've been adding as many bugs as they fix in some of these patches. Very annoying to finally have the game running great only for them to introduce another crash mode in the latest patch.

 

[VariantX]

This right here is irritating as all hell. As soon as I got the majority of the unlocks I wanted from the air vehicles, I pretty much stayed away from jets and choppers because of these two reasons. How in the flying fuck are you supposed to respond in any reasonable fashion when the missile launch alarm goes off at the exact same time you get hit??

 

[Hidden One]

Anyone know when the PSN store will update?

 

[Timu]

Awwww... Please don't launch riddled with bugs

Yeah we don't need any more of those, lol.
