you can swim!!! it must be a whole lot more convenient to use a boat though...
and big map is there when you hold start for scoreboard then press R1/RB
Boats are in the console version? The only thing that I majorly noticed was them moving the US/Chinese bases up to where A/E is normally.
Speaking of boats:
Ejas and I are on a boat! (and he was piloting while I was spraying hellfire everywhere. Only reason why I'm 6% accurate. ;____
That 36 tickets they have left? Yeah, we had a good run in the boat mowing them down and putting us at 4 flags to bleed them when we had a team and flag disadvantage for a good 5-10 mins.
NEARLY had them. But here's some tips:
The gunboat on this map (dunno for all of BF4) is like the Blackhawk and Transport Chopper of BF3: AKA: PILOT: MOVE YOUR ASS SIDEWAYS. Let your gunners have a full 180 view as they can NOT fire at the forward of the boat because they get locked at the sides.
And the guns DO NOT damage tanks. So if a tank starts firing on you MOVE YOUR ASS.

Great, another ridiculous control mapping for this game. They might as well switch aiming and shooting to L3 and R3

well, once the final version is release we're suppose to get big map on tablets also.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I find the changes to the controls pretty annoying... like swapping the triggers especially... but the worst thing about BF4 is that imo they ruined the tanks.
Otherwise I'm having quite a bit of fun... but the tanks are pure shit now.
edit: also, PS3 has massive framerate issues now. I'm not even a guy who usually notices that stuff, so if I'm feeling it, it's pretty bad.

it's a toggle. so you hold start and it shows you whatever screen you were viewing last, scoreboard or map.

This so much x 101230
BC2 was simple and well presented, then BF3 changed the design completely and it took me forever to adjust to it. Now they managed to make it worse lol

Sorry about that. Important phone call. Get on.
Coming around are you?
More like Obliteration should be in the beta. It's in the fucking server filters. WTF DICE?
Anyway Conquest on consoles is:
Take the support beams facing the ocean/water of B/Skyscraper out as quick as you can. Tanks can 1-2 shot it. RPG's need 1-3 shots.
You can hit three from either side of the map. Other is a little tricky and requires an infantry solider.
Then trap them at B with A/C capped and two tanks or infantry sitting on them so they can't retake it.
Won five or so games with this tactic so far. *trollface*

this game runs like poop on PS3.
I can't seem to find the game on there where I went 40-something and 0 in the littlebird, lol.

I haven't seen anyone do it. I think most people can't be assed since we aren't sure if it'll save to the final version. But if you're bored and want to mess about with it, go for it.
I did notice that the CLAN tag is in the "soldier" options where you hover over your screename at the top-bar of Battlelog.

rebel leader has one on his profile. I just copied it and use it on mine.
Would prefer something nicer though.

It feels more and more devoid of strategy to me.
There's no adequate middle ground between flags, so planning and positioning feels pointless. (ex: spot where one can access 2 flags quickly, ways to cap two flags and hold the line, etc.) Each flag's access points are also extremely limited. You're either in the open or bound to pop out of one of the limited exits/options. So this means stealth caps/running completely solo is out the window. The "open but filled with shit ton of cover" nature at some flags also makes it harder for one to determine if the coast is clear (i guess that's what lean is for) + more "accidental enemy around the corner". The map is filled with multiple "alleyways", yet the main routes are pretty much limited. Just imagine playing with AT mines on the map. There's only one main road that the tanks are going to travel on 90% of the time.
Yeah, it's fun, but I feel like I'm playing CoD TDM as oppose to battlefield. Doesn't even feel exciting.

At least on PS4 there are two more flags, more players, and a bunch more vehicles. Including the patrol boat and AH's.

Probably because something that is released 2-3 weeks after bf4 on ps3/360

We don't how responsive the touch pad is. Is seems to be a little inconvenient to use it as a spot machinaic
( I don't know if I'm using the right word or not)
though I don't know that the two buttons do for the xbox one

The mechanics for the vehicles is what I really question.

I question the ammo bar on tank shells.
Makes me want to just reverse gear and hide.
I had a yakety sax tank battle at C where the other tank and I drove in circles waiting on ammo to refill.

Ok, I get it, the touchpad may not be as convenient but I don't care. Why can't they include that layout as an OPTION?

it's crazy how controller config is now, every game should be like TimeSplitters 2.
