Man, all this bug talk is very disheartening.
Maybe we'll find out that PS4 was lead dev platform and it will perform flawlessly!
Really though, I just wish DICE would release a product that lived up to the hype. You know we are going to go through this with every Xpac, and every patch.
Guys we fixed xxx and broke xxxxx
China rising or whatever is going to be epic - and will be glitchy as all hell.
I think that is the worst part, based on past games we are in for a 2 year rollercoaster of fixed/broken

Info from EA on how to disable the Chromatic Aberration they added today in the PC patch:

These patch notes reminds me an awful lot of Rome 2 patch notes.
Basically "we fixed shit that shouldn't have shipped with the game" x50.

Ummm, about that one.
COD's gun gameplay is made specifically for that twitch, close action where you can go and kill 5 people in a row in a room... in BF, you run into 3 people you better high tail it.

It hasn't been fixed, and I tend to agree with that thread. I crashed 7 times with the sound loop today after the patch, and the past few days were around 1-2. I know it's a completely anecdotal observation, but that's how it is for me and quite a few others. Sound keeps disappearing in Golmund and Dam, and the R10 server patch makes it crash after every round. I'm done with BF4 for a few days till they sort this mess out.
Low recoil and TTK doesn't make for compelling gunplay.
Its interesting to me how someone would describe an ADS game as 'twitch,' as that form of gunplay is specifically designed to slow the game down and make aiming easier.

Yeah, that's worse case. I'm pretty sure your controller and system will be alright though. No harm in waiting a bit but I think there wi'll be a pretty big install base. A lot of PS4 early adopters are going to get the game. We already know that at least 1.5 million are getting it. There will be plenty of people playing

COD's gun play is for that unrealistic arcade feel. No aiming, barely any recoil, spray and pray. I've killed more than 3 people plenty of times. Granted I had to flank them or catch them off guard but that's how it should be. If I have 3 people with guns facing me I shouldn't be able to out gun all of them.
Looks like Carnival of Duty has come to town. The ole' spin around while shooting to get a kill didn't play out so well, neither did normal shooting. Tried to slow down parts of it.
360 quick scope fail......
Where the hell was the dropshot? #fail
Glad you battered the shit out of him for his silly mistakes. Lol
perfect. i really hope this patch helps everyone.
It is... and it does it's gameplay, very well. It's fun to play.
There is no set way of how shooters should be, each has it's strengths and it's weakness... BF's weaknesses shine in Locker, it's the new Metro. Not sure why they made that. You can level up your guns quicker in Parasol Storm 64P TDM (at least that's what I found)
Fuck that shit. You have CTD, Server kicks, and disconnects to worry about than a shitty tacked-on hook to your "service" to worry about first, DICE. >:|
Who the hell actually uses the in-game Battlelog instead of just using a second screen/alt-tab/tablet/phone for it!?
I don't think its that simple, the unlocks in these games are so over the top you have to grind out decent load outs. The best place to do it is in small cluster fuck maps, that way you have an enemy interaction every 5 seconds.
The slower games on wide open maps are nice, but you get dominated by people with more time to play the game. Experience + loadout.
Use your exp boosts. Makes everything unlock super quick. Unlocked over half the pistols in under and hour with 100% xp boost.
And there was no way they could have tested this out before they released it? This sounds like a pretty easy thing to detect in even a very basic and quick stability test.
Haven't gotten 100% yet, only 25/50% and I didn't pick up premium so no extra packs.
It's PARACEL storm, BTW.
And TDM maps aren't built for 64-players, so your argument is still crazy.
Once again: DICE did not build maps with 64-players in mind outside of Conquest and that's even debateable *SnoopBlingeeYOLO420SWAG.gif here*

What? No. This isn't BC2 where Magnum Ammo > *. None of the perks or guns so far have screamed "OMG UNBALANCED" to me just yet. And like BF3 the default guns are good. The problem is they start out (unlike the beta) completely barebones. The starting LMG for instance: Total domination in the beta with scopes, barrels, etc. attached to it, but now? Have to grind a bit to get it good.
Experience only helps in knowing the maps. If you're good at tactics and aiming, that level-up and unlock isn't going to do much.
Eh, it takes a little longer than BF3 but it isn't too bad outside of wanting a gun that's further up the ladder than it should be. MP-443 is the third unlock and I want it, but so far it's taken me two weeks of no-2XP (outside of "launch weekend") to reach that. Mostly because I don't use pistols enough to do that but if I wanted to grind for it I could.
Out of curiosity will this disable anything else?
getting some brilliant BSOD 50% of the time i try to load a map now
It's been said before but BSODs or any sort of crash that ends with you hitting the reset button your PC is probably not the fault of the game ......

"Every time that a player exited a vehicle, there was a small chance that the server would crash."
"Sometimes the game would crash after removing old bullet holes/scratch marks in the world."
Etc.
That is too funny.
Next year I'm waiting for them to finish their game before paying anything for it.
Christ. Why would they do that?
I'm just gonna tune out for a month. Hopefully things will have sorted themselves out somewhat by then.
We have to figure out how to do the same process and turn up the opacity of hud elements (names, revive icons, objectives, etc).
Makes things very difficult to see.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Yep, that's my experience in BF4 so far. I want to believe shit will run smooth!!

A game just ended on me.... it seemed like I got kicked but the screen went black and NO reason for it.No little red status bar at the bottom or anything. Right at the start of a round too
Sorry, I saw that after I posted. It fixed it for me.
Then I crashed at map change...

hahahaha no. Battlefield games have definitely been the least stable high profile series on console. when BF3 launched on 360, it would randomly crash all the way back to the 360 guide sometimes. and there were certain spots in BC2 on Harvest Day on PS3 that were like a 50/50 chance of a crash.

Oh god my eyes. I not lying when i say that CA has strained my eyes.
WHAT THE FUCK, DICE?
WHAT THE FUCK, DICE?
When the screen goes black in a match (with the white loading mark in the upper right corner) and you find yourself back to desktop it means you lost connection to the server.

Ugh, tried the CA fix but i'm still getting it in game.
This is actually more game-breaking or me than launch day.

The only thing this patch fixed for me was the borderless mode working now, other than that there are still way too many bugs. Worst of all it seems to affecting performance a bit, just randomly spiking my fps for a few seconds and then going back up.
The person who okay'd adding new graphics features into a desperate bug fix patch should probably be fired. That shit couldn't wait until China Rising?
The rage it would create if they delayed the patch in order to sneak in CA...
