it goes down in price? by how much? would it still include all of the same stuff that it does now? maybe it would be best for me to wait.
lol I noticed that too.
Apparently they do that for Quality Assurance reasons. If they run every cutscene in-engine you could run into a bug that doesn't allow the player to progress, or some kind of hack they used to get the cutscene working in the first place doesn't turn off after the cutscene. Example: Irish gets stuck in a door and the cutscene never ends.

I'm a huge BF whore and even I don't buy Premium right away. It's a shitty business practice. And this may sound corny, but honestly, I'm waiting to play Titanfall before trying to register how much time I'll be sinking into BF4.

Origin works fine.
We are all waiting on Titanfall, that game actually looks compelling. BF4 looks like more of the same, now with fixes the community has been requesting since BF3 beta! ®
There we go, game complete and a last batch of screenshots from me.
Appreciate the comment but I'd still love to see what you can do with your magical tools man <3

Well, it will go down at some point, maybe in a year. By how much, no one knows. I think BF3's Premium was £20 for a while back in March (50% off, a year after it launched) but no one can really tell as the game is launching as we speak.
alright, thanks for your input. i'll just wait then. it's better that i actually get my hands on the game before committing to something that costs more than the game itself (i preordered the game for $40).
ah, ok! thanks for the response.

Still downloading since yesterday, only 33% done 
Battlelog shows 10 maps right now.
I did. Wanted it to be 1440p goodness but apparently YouTube has removed the "Other" feature for resolutions. Fucking hell.

its only happened in MP so far. usually immediately after a death that involves explosions.
And that's fine with me. Don't need me no Titanfall. It has no Rush. Nobody ain't got time for that if doesn't have Rush.
Are you going to play for the next two years? If yes, then yes.
If no, then no.
Are you a cheap ass? Then wait.
Otherwise, buy.

Mother of God...
OK seriously considering getting the PC version... it can eat it for breakfast but I'm so used to console.
I think that's lag. I had the game bounce me off a rock and skip me across the water earlier today. Was hilarious but also annoying.
That's SP.

Playing in 5120x2880 seems to have a tiny almost unnoticeable effect on some animations ...
hahahahhahhaha wow awesome.

That would give me a seizure.
I just played a round of rush and boy was it laggy. The 2 CQ large games were fine.
Aight PC guys - I downloaded BF4 last night and set everything to ultra. Used the console to show my fps, but that made me wonder... What should I be doing to figure out the best settings? I mean, I know more fps is better, but on my setup I noticed it going down to 25-30 in areas with a bunch of geometry or a lot of explosions on the screen. Should I be knocking my visual settings down in order to increase those dips? Or is it all a judgement call (I know the fps dropped, but it didn't bother me to much because I'm used to some stutter playing on the last gen consoles). When I was just walking/running around I was getting 40-60 fps. Any advice?

Is it just me or did the rotors go missing?
<3 the screenshots btw.
I just played on some island map (I forgot the name), and HOLY SHIT THERE WAS A FUCKING HURRICANE! The waves swelled up, a fucking ship ran aground in the middle of the map, rain started falling, trees were getting blown around, holy shit holy shit holy shit this game is nuts.
I got caught out like that last year with Black Ops 2, I got the season pass, after month 3 I was well onto something else...
I swore then I would never do a season pass or premium again, however I did premium on this as I did the Mexican VPN trick, so got the game and premium for £43...
You have to ask yourself are you the type of person who plays game continually for years...
Only WOW ever got me for that long, I fully expect I will play up to and including China Rising, but after that I highly doubt it, but premium does give you added benefits, like queue jumping et al
Lets be honest Titanfall will be the game that sucks in large swathes of players from BF4 and COD (presuming they don't mess it up)
and from all the hate on MS, they must be wishing March to come around very quickly

EDIT: Just to clarify, this is single-player.
Yeah at least that didn't make you die.
I had a glitch where I was following Omar (Irish) up the rungs on the ship and somehow when my face touched his legs, i got blown away to my death.
Saying i was surprised would be an understatement and for a moment i toyed with the idea that Omar kicked me off the ship or something.
I was getting random crashes due to destruction last night as well.

It's one of those silent choppers from Thirty Dark Zero.Is it just me or did the rotors go missing?

BTW, just a heads up. I researched this, and what you are describing would result in screen tearing, not chop. Screen tearing happens when the refresh rate on the monitor is not in sync with the video card.
For some reason, the game was choppy throughout the first level, but it completely went away after that. Even the most intense firefights on shanghai were butter smooth. I am not sure what is going on with that first level.

Did you take a native resolution screenshot? O_O
Add me earvcunanan , i'm isual13 on psn.
I'm thinking of just getting the ps3 and then selling the code later on...and just get a ps4 when mgs5 or the real exclusives hit.
You are not comprehending what I am trying to say.
When you experience an extremely variable frame rate that is indicative of the first level of BF4, and Frost Bite games in general.
You will get that choppiness.
The reason you are seeing it, is because you are below your monitor's refresh rate. That means you visually see when you are dropping frames. It is significantly more noticeable in games with extremely variable framerate, or when you drop more than 10 frames at a time. Both line up with what I have experienced so far with BF4.
My suggestion was to either lower your settings so you get >60 fps. I'm sitting at 75-85 fps right now and I never notice drops because I am above the refresh rate.

When did Battlefield become a Call of Duty clone?
I remember playing Battlefield 1942, skipped vietnam, 1943, I played Battlefield 2. All of those seemed to be Battlefield games.
I was looking at the comparison footage, being curious about Next Gen, and I noticed the heavily scripted story and many Call of Duty like elements.
When did this series stop being a sandbox shooter?

When you're playing singleplayer. *giggle*
When COD made ten trillion dollars.
At work now. I hope that the switch to WIndows 8 when I get home fixes my crashing problem because the game seems really good
I've only experienced two crashes since yesterday. I'm on 8.1

Nah the old Battlefield games were sandbox shooters even in single player.
It's still a sandbox shooter in multiplayer.
