Covington let you down,eh.

You know there ain't shit here dude😂

 

[Forerunner]

Damn this second campaign is awesome (spoilers):

Spoiler

Webm version

Looks like someone hit a bees nest.

 

[nikos]

Considering I just built a gaming PC, I think I'll have to get this. I'm getting wrecked in the Origin early access though.

 

[FiraB]

B
And WTF DICE.

PTSD, shit can strike at any time man.

Heck if I was in some of those matches I'd be terrified too.

(On a serious note, my brother had it, shit destroys a person).

 

[LapinAgile]

Let us know what they say! Lol

according to the rep I spoke to EA contacted Sony today and advised them that the correct release time is 12 AM PST... pretty shitty move if it's true.

 

[MarineMountie]

OK, so Battlefield twitter is telling people that the countdown timer is correct.

So they advertise a midnight launch but actually its 3am. Its midnight for XBOX, though...

WOW, DICE. That is shady as fuck.

 

[J-Rzez]

I hope Battlefield 1.5 is set in WW2 and uses same multiple fronts approach as BF1 is doing. Seeing Pathers and Shermans rolling around and hearing clip pings of Garands with these graphics and audio would be dream come true.

Yeah, I mean I appreciate no lasers or M4s in a shooter, but WW2 has sooo much more variety of weapons, vehicles, planes, and gadgets than WW1. I can't wait for the inevitable and rightfully so WW2 Battlefield to hit. Until then, I'm happy with BF1.

Weird so it releases 3am eastern?

 

[MarineMountie]

Only for PS4. Microsoft probably threw them a little more money. Only thing I can think of. It says right on the PSN Store that it releases at midnight Eastern Time.....But they delayed it to 3am only on PS4.

 

[Xyber]

Gotta love it when the thick fog rolls in, especially since it makes all the people who only camp on hills with snipers useless.

[Foxxsoxx]

DId they seriously try to do a midnight release in the digital age for an early edition?

Anyway, timer still hasn't changed. What can a consumer do if its advertised to unlock at midnight EST, but actually unlocks at 3am?

Anyone that wants to play tonight on PS4 just shoot me a FR, psn is Fakehound. Fuck it I'm going all in D:

 

[MattyG]

Wait, so it's not midnight?

 

[MarineMountie]

Wait, so it's not midnight?

Nope. EA delayed it by 3 hours...because reasons.

 

[LapinAgile]

Wait, so it's not midnight?

Not on PS4 apparently, I am contacting EA to get some clarification. My friend on the west coast is claiming it unlocks at 9 for him... but he may just be assuming this (knowing him)

 

[nuclearaddict]

That's what I'm wondering. Strictly cosmetics and I'll wait until Friday. Some cool guns that I'll never roll in a battle pack and I might reconsider.

Just hang in there, man! Friday will be here before you know it.

What class do you play?

 

[Bravoexo]

5760x1080 Surround Support + GTX1080 SLI = SWEET!!

 

[PeterLegend]

Interested to see the PS4 footage

WOW, DICE. That is shady as fuck.

But in the comments EASupport, verified account, is saying the timer is wrong that it unlocks at midnight eastern and they're trying to work with Sony to fix it.

[MarineMountie]

Microsoft doing the Donald Trump impression.

Spoiler

I really don't know if it's true they delayed the PS4 version to 3am dont get angry LOL

Its advertised for midnight EST launch on PSN store. It suddenly unlocks at 3am. Battlefield twitter won't answer any of the complaints, instead just saying "The timer is correct" and leaves it at that.

 

[Izuna]

I'm playing the Free Trial with EA Access for campaign...

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING

The historical nature, the immersion... It's like when I first played CoD2. This is absolutely phenomenal.

 

[flipswitch]

I've purchased the standard edition off origin, preloaded it, but can I upgrade to the deluxe edition, or is it too late?

 

[Van]

The gamestop is giving away copy's at 11 lmao

 

[TimeEffect]

I got this ordered for $50 CAD Standard

The Enlister is $100 Digital

 

[Pastry]

Yeah I called at around 6 and they told me to show up at 11 PM CST.

Keep reading. EA support is saying it's midnight eastern.

EASupport probably got their PSN ID blacklisted by Sony.

Shit man, didn't know there were so many gaffers down here.

 

[Jarrod38]

Does Walmart put games out at midnight?

Wrong thread

 

[MarineMountie]

I did. The EA rep said "The countdown timer is correct, we are working with Sony to rectify this issue".

That sounds to me like they are trying to get the advertisement for the midnight EST launch taken down. How is the "countdown timer correct" if he means they are trying to fix it to be a midnight launch? Would make no sense.

 

[rubes7844]

Does Walmart put games out at midnight?

Yep. Usually, you'll have to ask an associate to help

 

[eddievanclaylen]

Patiently waiting for this to unlock, ive been watching people on twitch and im in love.

Just hang in there, man! Friday will be here before you know it.

What class do you play?

I think I'm gonna hold out. I'm a Mon-Fri worker...had this released early on a Friday they would have got me.

I switch it up depending on the situation, but medic is usually my go to. I've yet to fall in love with a good medic rifle though.

Lol what? They're saying it isn't correct and then a few comments down said its supposed to be midnight eastern.

Field Gun! Played a few hours with EA Acess and it is beautiful on pc.

The digital game takes as much space as the physical version

According to EA it's Sony who has fucked it up.

I'll be glad when this dumb trial warning stops popping up.

That nice, hopefully they will be able to rectify, i don't think it's a big work to do so.

Yeah, man, check the Nola (area) thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1062901

We should do something soon.

Thank you for giving me some hope!

 

[Compsiox]

I fucking love this game so much. I haven't felt this way in a long time. Halo 5 was great and all but damn.

 

[jaaz]

Last two games I saw numerous players banned from servers. This was after some dubious deaths. Hopefully DICE/EA will be on top of cheating at launch.

 

[Karak]

Ya of all the things the game offers its the dynamic weather that I felt really added an insane amount of replayability to the title. Its insane

 

[MarineMountie]

Thank you for giving me some hope!

I need some hope. Sitting here looking at the 4+ hour timer is making me lose faith.
