It's a huge step up from BF3 though. imo that game had the worst SP campaign I've ever played.
Yep, favorite new mode for sure.

Mine was in the neighborhood of 26 hours for download and install.
It is an issue for everyone. See this thread for more info: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=717761

Choppers have such a tenuous balance in these games. I'd say that the critical hit thing causing the pilot to lose controls is extremely annoying in the game. At the same time, the 25mm cannons rain down hell from the sky and it's devastating to infantry if it goes unchecked. Yesterday I fired all my stinger missiles at a little bird with an engineer and he healed though it. So, get another engineer to take it out as well right? Easier said than done in a pub server. Likewise, if you actually do have a couple of engineers with stingers and no engineer repairing the chopper, you will go down in seconds. One single player on either side of the equation can break the balance completely. I feel they should do something to force vehicles to engage in vehicular combat instead of going after infantry. Make the guns as useless as the boat miniguns but give more options to lock on to air and ground vehicles. That's fair game IMO.
On a side note, good to see you on GAF dude
On pc has anybody else notice decreased performance in the last week. Have not hot to play much this week until today and it feels like it's running slower. I had it running mostly on ultra at launch and than lowered it to high to Smith out the frame rate. Now it seems like it runs much worse than when it was in ultra settings.
I'm noticing the same thing. Was 50-60 and now it is even dropping to 34.
Yeah, I did not do much FPS testing before and after but that feels about the same what has happened to me.

Obliteration is insanity. I had no idea it would be like this.

You'll understand the point once you get older and you no longer have the reflexes of a teenager.

I just leveled up to level 22 back to back in 2 separate games.

It's awesome until you end up on a shit team vs. Good team. When you see your enemies using choppers and tanks to transport bombs but your team play the round like its TDM
at least someone agrees. My finger keeps hovering over BUY 780 Ti but I've understood that this game is a pile of
shit
Back in the battles of 1942, we could not only take off from an aircraft carrier, we could drive the darn things too! Until some whippersnapper would take the ships and run them ashore on the islands!
And that's how we invaded Midway, ramming the blasted island with carriers!
Please let there be controllable ships. :<

Yeah, looking like THAT on a PC with max settings is bizarre. That section needed another pass before shipping (no pun intended).
I tried changing every setting on my rig to see if that changed anything but nope, not a thing.

DICE says PS4 patch coming next week.

The Patch Approval process seems much much faster than on PS3. Good stuff.DICE said:
As someone who has basically never played Battlefield before and is jumping in with B4 on the PS4, I'm just looking for some basic advice. I can't seem to competently do much. I feel like I'm shooting people but having no luck, and it just seems like with these numbers someone is always behind me before I even have a chance. Just some basic advice so I can get a hang of the game rather than selling it off would be much appreciated.

Yes. Conquest has not been available since launch.
You can't run and gun one man army style in this game. It's more team based (as opposed to COD).
Slow and steady wins this race. Also, stick with your teammates.
In order to kill enemies you have to compensate for bullet drop. You also have to shoot ahead of your target if they're running laterally across the screen.
EDIT: One more thing, take a look at the map and your teammates screen before spawning on them. You should assess their situation first before jumping in and getting shot from behind.
You are a bad person.
The UTS-15 has a 15 shot capacity although not the ROF the DAO had. DBV-12 is an 11 shot semi auto.
I guess I need to learn what a kit item is and how to sue them?
That's unfortunate because in the games I found nobody was talking. I guess I am too used to CoD style though. I'll keep that in mind going forward.
Thanks guys.
Man I had a great time playing with Olimpia and Faceless yesterday.
I had a hard time keeping up but I think I did well considering it's been something like 7 or 8 months since I played BF3.
What times are you guys playing? Seems like there is no one playing on the afternoon or early evening anymore.
I'm getting my PS4 around December 17, what about you guys? (PS3 crew: Olimpia, Faceless, Dream, Evolved, etc.)
Hopefully by then the MP issues will be sorted out.
I liked the new maps a lot.

Play a lot of TDM to get into a lot of firefights so you understand how the game's shooting mechanics and build up your reflexes.
It will make you better at shooting and awareness for every other mode
The best classes for infantry teamplay:
Assault (primarily a medic) = medkits/medpacks, revive ability
Support = ammo packs, ammo boxes
Just throw medpacks and ammo at people, even if they don't ask for it. If there's a pause in the fight, drop some. If you are in a fighting position, drop some.
Then the second tier of team-orientation:
Engineer = repair tool, anti vehicle weapons
Recon = spawn beacon, sensors to help spot guys on minimap
These classes require more finesse to be useful to your team, although they seem straightforward at first. The gadgets don't work in any easily explainable way, so watch other players and read some guides. A well placed beacon can turn the tide of a map, and having enough anti- vehicle weaponry on the field is important for some maps.
Why did I buy this game lol? The more I read about it the more intimidated I feel. It should arrive with my PS4 in a few hours. Does the single player campaign at least control the same as the multi? I'd like to at least get a feel for character movement and gunplay before jumping into an online game and dragging my team down.

I haven't unlocked the 25mm cannons yet, so unfortunately I'm stuck with the pea-shooter miniguns. I look forward to getting the 25mm cannons as well as missiles. Maybe then it'll be semi useful -- at least during those rare occasions in which I'm not being hit/disabled by AA!
P.S. Where the hell have you been!? You used to be on Rage all the time, but it looks like you haven't posted for over a year!
At least, that's how it works on PC. I'm assuming it's the same for consoles unless someone else can prove otherwise.
I'm just getting my PS4 today along with this game and have a quick question ... I've read about al the MP issues but is anyone having problems with the SP? I had planned on playing the SP anyway to get the MP unlocks so if there are no issues I'll definetly do that before trying the MP.

Yeah, the campaign has some similarities to multiplayer. It features the same weapons (you even unlock some weapons for multiplayer through the campaign) and also has several moments in which you drive vehicles -- the same ones you use in multiplayer. If you want to practice on your own, there's a "Test Range" you can go to in order to try out every vehicle and the weapons you've unlocked.
Anyone else coming from primarily Xbox play and struggling with the left analog? I feel like i'm constantly wrestling with a comfortable placement. When i sprint for long periods, i have to push down hard or my thumb will slide off. It's uncomfortable as hell.
Other than that, this game (when it works) is so GD fun, and incredible looking to someone like me who has never even seen a high end PC game in person. May jaw dropped. Hope they get all the BS sorted and add in some party support.

As stated above Test Range is your best friend.
Other tips - squad up and use your mic.
Always throw ammo/health. Pay attention to blinking ammo and health icons on the map. This means someone needs help.
Repair vehicles if you are an engineer
Spot spot spot. It's R1 on PS4. Knowing where the enemy is, is essential.
Play with friends whenever possible.
Depending on game mode, objectives are more important than kills.
Team deathmatch is a great way to level classes/weapons and get a feel for the game without being overwhelmed by the complexities of objective based modes.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear!
Thanks! I will keep all of this in mind and I'll shoot you a friend request once I have everything set up. Thanks again.
One thing that's driving me crazy on the PS4 SKU:
Why in the hell is the Battlelog mapped to the big touchscreen button? Why on earth do they think people need instant access to this feature? Add on top of that the fact that it's a laggy sluggish mess when it's trying to load your stats... just... ugh.
I've accidentally hit this button so many times while trying to press the options button to bring up the map. Then that awful laggy window pops up obscuring everything, and I'm slamming on the touchpad button to get rid of it while some guy is shooting me in the face.
Just put the damn thing in the options menu. Please give us the option to de-map it at least.
