This game is fantastically optimised. DICE, you've done a commendable job!
Cheers bud, worked like a charm.

Yes.
Steam overlay doesn't work with the final just like the beta didn't. Someone find a way to fix this.
I think you only need it up to the point you have joined the server from battlelog.

Can someone give me feedback on PS3 version? Is it better than beta? Is it still freezes?

I think Parcel Storm may just be the greatest BF map ever. It's gorgeous, and end-round storm brings some amazing atmosphere, and the vehicle balance is perfect. No attack choppers. No tanks. No jets. Lots of transport though and the always-awesome attack boats, so it's a large map still primarily focused around infantry.
Running for your life through the trenches while an attack boat is laying down fire on you and a little bird is strafing overhead is glorious.

If we set aside the length, what's the gaf feeling on the campaign? Is there anything remotely there that I could justify paying full price on, given that I'm shocking at the multi and doubt I'll play much of it.
awesome, thanks!

Man i stayed up way too late playing this game. The map design has come leaps and bounds beyond BF3. I've only played conquest so far, but I'm already enjoying the hell out of BF4.
Yeah. The jets look cheesey and cheap. Maybe its the camera angle. And they seemed to have more weight in bf3
Was I right? I'll be firing up my VPN tonight when I've pre loaded.
Sigh. They put millions into the SP campaign again and then lock the FOV at an unplayable setting. I'm dumb enough to enjoy some military shooter campaigns but lately it's been impossible to play any of them because every company locks the FOV to protect their precious QTEs, animations and what not. I don't care about clipping hands or whatever, I really just want to change the FOV into a setting that I can actually play the game with.
The game even has that FOV slider in settings. It just doesn't do anything in SP.

This made me instantly want to buy the game. I was not really interested before.

I've never understood why locked FOV freaks people out.

Yeah every map that I've played so far feels really unique. Feels like they learned a lot from their expansions on what works and doesn't.
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for making the start of my afternoon a good one xD
friend of mine tried it and he's playing now just fine. So yes, it seems you were right
If they locked it at a value that doesn't cause nausea and headache to some people, it wouldn't freak anyone out. That's how games used to be 10+ years ago but X360/PS3 generation made a hard push to have unplayable FOV in most games citing many reasons such as performance issues and low FOV being better for couch gamers. But I don't play on a couch.

They're getting bombs now, though, right? That could make a huge difference in the way jets contribute to the overall battle. I'll be interested to see how things play out once more players have their class/vehicle unlocks open.
Isn't the default FOV basically how people see with their eyes?
I still don't get those. DIVISIONS, REGIONS, LEADERBOARDZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz!
What are your laptop's specs?

Wow the load times for multiplayer are rough. I think I'm going to have to move the install to my SSD.
I got a cheapo SSD caching unit for my PC. Best thing ever.

So, if I pick up the PS3 version and then upgrade to the PS4, how concerned should I be about downloading the PS4 version day one? It'd be nice to screw around with the PS3 version for a couple of weeks and then upgrade for 10 bucks, but I don't want to be unable to play BF4 on launch day because I can't download it.
In one word, no. And that wouldn't work in a game anyway. Here's a quick gif from Bad Company 2 showing how different FOV values look in that particular game:
There's a sweet spot somewhere in the middle but console games have very low FOV and many developers don't bother making exceptions for the PC version so they keep that low FOV for PC as well. Some games do offer FOV sliders but for example Battlefield games offer FOV slider only in the multiplayer. Call of Duty Ghosts doesn't offer FOV slider at all and that is the only single reason I'm not buying that game.

The default filters are shit, go in and change them yourself to something like only maps with 1-5 open spots on and you should get more than enough servers with people on.

That is the reason I am just buying it on disc for the ps4. I don't want to risk psn being overloaded and not being able to download games.
i7-4700mq
GT 750m SLI

Ran well at high settings with some things turned off. I tried a single 750m and it ran well on medium settings. Resolution was 1080p on both.
Thanks, I didn't even think of that. Had to do that with 3 as well.

Yeah, I'm probably just going to go that route as well. A little patience will probably result in the best launch day experience.

That sucks. Played about 4 hours this morning on various servers, not one crash. Pretty good performance overall.
Asus 280X

Nothing really OC'd.
edit: what Catalyst are you running? I'm not using the beta drivers.
Good to hear. I have a 680m, and I am completely torn whether to get this for PC or PS4.
