I think if you go into the system menu there is an option to copy your file to the cloud. I'm at work though and can't check for you right now.
7GB for that amount of gameplay is pretty standard.
I mostly play infantry-focused Conquest maps. Something like Seine and Bazaar from BF3.
Because vehicles can really ruin the fun of infantry play on Conquest. Unfortunately, BF4 doesn't really have any infantry-focused maps for true conquest, so I've had to resort to playing domination.
Playing conquest at the beginning of BF4 destroyed my K/D, but its getting back up there.

Managed to find a cached copy of manual for the Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 with voice and head tracking details!
WHAT CAN I SAY
If you are a Squad Leader, and there is a Commander, you can also say “Request Order” when your squad is readyfor duty. Let your Commander know what you need by saying “Request Scan”, “Request Vehicle”, or “RequestSupply”. When you are in the Deploy screen you can deploy by saying “Spawn”. During gameplay you can plan what classyou should deploy as, next time you deploy, by saying “Next time spawn as Medic” or whatever class you choose.The next time you deploy you will be deployed according to your wishes.The full list of Voice Commands can be found under “OPTIONS > KINECT”
LEANING
Using the Kinect, you can lean to look out from behind cover. Use this as a tactic to keep yourself partially behindcover while at the same time being able to shoot at an enemy. You can lean while standing or crouching.To turn Leaning ON/OFF, toggle the setting under “OPTIONS > KINECT > LEANING ENABLED”.
HEAD TRACKING
The Kinect can track your head. When in a vehicle, you can turn your head to look around. This will allow you tokeep driving in one direction but still get a good look at your surroundings.To turn Head Tracking ON/OFF, toggle the setting under “OPTIONS > KINECT > HEADTRACKING ENABLED”.

So I'm thinking of getting this for the PS4 because frankly I'm quite chocked at how good it looks. I haven't seen it irl but judging by the videos it's pretty damn impressive. I can't believe that it runs so smooth at 60fps.
Is there anyone on here who has it both for PC and PS4 and can try to explain what the graphical differences are? Apart from the obvious ones, like resolution and so on.

Hopefully the latest nvidea patch gives me the performance dice took away from me in the last patch.

It's total overkill but I do have a 144Hz monitor and I'd like to be able to play at higher settings and get to that level. Right now to hit 144fps I play on all low and I could easily play the MP maxed out (No AA) and get 60 pretty consistently but 144 is just SO much smoother
Plus I might get another monitor later and I'm trying to future proof a little.
I think volumetric lighting might be different as well as the particle effects, also some textures being slightly lower on PS4. Higher AA and AF too I'd imagine
You're getting bad habits. Do you play on consoles? I'm now getting used to play at 60fps on my PC. Yesterday I played Xbox 360 and the framerate and FOV weren't making the experience very enjoyable.

I'm getting elitist habits haha but I only want the 144fps for BF4 and any other competitive shooter because it allows for such quick snappy movements.
For anything else 60fps is fine
lus.... I love buying new gear for my PC lol
I did this. And the cloud bit me in the ass.
I backed up my save to the cloud, and played for a bit and got the crash and save corruption . I shut my PS4 off for the night, and in the morning went to retrieve my uncorrupted cloud save but it uploaded the corrupted cloud save overwriting my uncorrupted one.
So, remember to disable cloud backup if you plan to keep an uncorrupted save file up there. Then again, that will also disable cloud backup for all your games... unless you can just speficify turning it off for one?
I've found that option but I'm wondering if there's a way that I can have the PS4 do it automatically.
You play a bunch of pistol-only servers?
So much this. I was always a console fanboy. The couch, the comfort, the controller, the crowds... I scoffed at frames per second and honestly never cared.
I got a gaming capable PC to play games with my friend. I play most stuff at 60 fps, and when I go back and play some 360 I can barely tolerate the frame rate. I mean 30 is okish... but most late gen games push it hard and drop well below 30 and I cringe. I literally never noticed or cared before. I can't go back..

Safest way is to play offline. Once you finish playing transfer your save to a flashdrive that way when you start the game while online and it corrupts your save you have a backup.
It took restarting the first two levels 3 times before I came to this workaround.

If you play Dawnbreaker you're gonna have a bad time
Map is pretty crappy from the few times I've tried it on Conquest.
Yeah it's pretty crappy. Also shit on Rush. Found some enjoyment on it by screwing around as infantry around B though.
Ran over a guy who was in the elevator by driving an ATV in there. ShadowPlay pls

Dawnbreaker is a strange map. It feels like it should be larger for some reason. Why the hell did they include jets on it, for example? And what's with the number of vehicles? It's almost like they set out to design a map 2-3x larger than it currently is and just said, "Fuck it," about midway through its development. It's a shame because it seems like it had potential to be a great alternative to Shanghai. As it stands, it's arguably the most forgettable map in BF4.

So I started the game on PS4. Finish the first mission. Quit as the second mission starts. Going back to the main screen, the game crashes and goes back to the PS4 Homescreen with a message that there was an error with BF4. Start BF4 again and it says my save was corrupt and that if I continue I'll lose my data. I thought well this is great, hopefully it at least saved the fact that I finished the first mission hopefully. The main screen is about to pop up and it crashes again.
1080p, 60 FPS, games crashing. It really does feel like I'm playing on PC.

Most of my PC issues have stopped. BF4 is very enjoyable now.

Seems to be pretty standard right now.
If you are on the PS4 either hold off or make sure your saves are properly backed up.
By playing too much =P

Is the eye-raping CA effect gone?
I do believe they will have direct to youtube integration. I could google it to check but I'm on an iPad and lazy. I know they will have a twitch.tv mode for streaming.

Use the "Low" quality preset and if even that doesn't produce files small enough for your liking, take them into a video editor (Windows Movie Maker is free; Sony Vegas or something similar is preferred) and compress them to an even lower bit rate.
Hiding near my spawn on Hainan Resort rush means I'm like a half mile away from the mcoms. That's not a very effective way to arm mcoms in my experience.
Pretty garbage.
But if you actually enjoy COD campaigns then you might be right at home.
Heard the patch is coming in a week or so.
I had fun with the first two, so I guess I'll take this as a positive.
Dang, my capture of a really great multikill that gave me 420 points got messed up somehow. I don't know if it's the share button or just the way Battlefield uses it. I got a screenshot, but the video capture was displaced.
Anyway... here's some spectacular missing.

If you like linear campaigns, check out Metro:LL/2033, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, and Shadow Warrior.
Best singleplayer shooters to come out this year by far.
Expand those horizons.
Are you planning on recording and uploading 20 minute games? Because you're not going to get significantly less than 7gb without losing a lot of quality. That's also because it's recording at 60fps. You could render it at 30fps afterwards, but that could take some time.
I hope they'll add resolution and fps options in the future.

Yeah, I at least expect a "30 FPS" option either by the end of this year or early next. 60 FPS is really a complete waste since YouTube is the only noteworthy (non-streaming) site for gaming videos and it's stuck at 30.
I thought there was no aim assist on ps4, looks like there is a lot there unless you have the smoothest aim ever. Also you should stop moving when firing a DMR, makes them quite inaccurate.

Operation Lumberjack was a success
40x scope is ridiculously awesome.
That slow mo blood splatter. Looked like his head exploded.
Also those 1 shot rifles are the business
