Well, they are quite different in pacing and gunplay.
But i really enjoyed HL Beta and (Probably because there's less elements to sync) the netcode seemed a bit more accurate than BF4's.
Well, it took a lot of time to fix but it works now and it's fun.
There are still a bunch of unfixable things like the Unlock System and the Squad Buffs or whatever are called.
HL Unlock System makes sense at least.

Any rumors as to what it is? I cant imagine getting excited about a video.
Rumour is still we get some remade BC2 and BF3 maps for BF4.
We needed to vote even on it a while ago.

No way the voted maps are in a state to be shown. Definitely believe they're the night versions of Shanghai and that other one.
Is this it you guys think. BF youtube just posted it.

Not mod tools everyone. A "community designed" map.

So another map made for Conquest. Great.

I'm just waiting for him to post. Maybe he saw it and finally gave up?

For a moment I thought we'd actually be able to create our own maps. Nope, just giving feedback. :/

Yeah, it's misleading, but at least an extra map is better than nothing. I have a tiny bit of faith in the BF community and that the map will end up being at least decent.

I'd like a symmetrical map in regards to flag placement and the flag placement needs to mean something. They each need to be an important point on the map.
As for aesthetic, I'd like a night time desert on the coast, potentially with a grounded carrier as one of the flags. Massive changes in elevation too with large sheer cliffs.
I just hope people like LevelCap and YouTubers don't get a big say since they seem to only play TDM and complain about verticality.

You mean I never am not?
Yeah I tried searching today and it just returns a bunch of empty servers. It's a bummer that it isn't a option, I hope they support it going forward.

anyone here play on the CMW hardcore servers? Specifically their Rush server? It's all I've played on for the most part since bf3. Can't play regular mode it's just so dumb with the unrealistic damage and triangles everywhere.
I wish I liked CQ more as it seeks to be more popular but I like the focused nature of Rush. CQ is just too spread out and not as much teamwork is used. I always get a way better feeling either defending or assaulting the nodes in Rush than I get from capping a base in CQ

Getting a refund for the premium version is out of the question, right?
The most advertised feature, which would be Conquest Large, doesn't run at the advertised framerate and still lags like hell. It's so frustrating to play, and even more frustrating that I stupidly bought this digitally.

What did you get it for, where do you live, and what servers are you trying to play on?
Works fine for me on PS4 with a crappy DSL connection as long as I stay in my regional servers.
Germany, PS4, regional and official servers only.
Are you calling the framerate fine or are you saying that it doesn't lag?
Tal Shiar Agent

Both. The frame drops don't bother me outside of levelution on the Hotel map. They don't seem to be big frame drops. Certainly not enough for me to care.
I don't get nearly as much packet loss as before, even on shitty DSL. I haven't had a problem with kill trading lately. Corner shooting is as it is in every online FPS. I haven't had problems with rubber banding or other noticeable lag issues.
Well I guess some people notice framerate drops more that others, so there's that. I definitely have a huge problem with the framerate in every CQL match with either lots of vehicles on screen, or lots of destruction. I honestly find it hard to believe how anyone could not be bothered by it, but then again, I consider myself somewhat whiny about framerate. Still, when all other modes (lower player counts) run at nearly 60fps all the time (which is why I like Rush better than CQL), it is just really frustrating to play the clunky mess that is CQL.
As for the connection problems: lucky you, then. It doesn't happen all the time for me, but when it does it is quite substantial. Sometimes I am unable to move and then seconds later I am dead. Other times flying a heli or a jet is impossible due to the screen shaking around because it is lagging, just to give examples.
I can't explain why it doesn't happen to you, but the fault can't be on my end, as other games, including BF4 on PC, run just fine through the same connection.
I don't play hardcore but their Normal Conquest Large servers are pretty well balanced. Both teams usually have equal amounts of good and bad players; I always have games that are down to a couple tickets.

Yeah it's pretty fair, has nice balancing features, auto kicks for people who go AFK, and uses the really nice anti cheat called FairFight. The people are mostly cool too and are regulars on the servers. Check out hardcore sometime, come join me on the Rush server =)
So the premium version is on sale for twenty something on the PSN store, and I've got some cash sat in my wallet.
I've been putting off picking this up til all the problems got fixed, and this seems like a good time to get in on the action. So I ask you BFGaf, how is BF4 now? Is it as good as BF3 yet?

I've got over 200 hours of BF4 on PS4, and over 225 hours on PC. The game is fantastic, and the premium maps are excellent. Personally I don't think Hardline is worth the money when DICE has already confirmed another year of continued support and content for BF4.
Don't get me wrong, the Hardline beta was good and I really enjoyed it. But for me, I hate faction-specific weapons with a passion and the time-to-kill felt more like CoD than Battlefield - yes it created a faster rate of play, but it felt artificial to me.

I'm a Battlefield veteran and you should take my word over any other. Many have ignored my warnings and have found themselves sobbing in a corner after experiencing BF4.
Yeah Cod-style gameplay isn't my bag these days, I like the breathing room and sheer scale of games like BF3.
I should've clocked that, I read the last page or so ;p
Don't toy with me mang!

As mentioned above, the framerate in 64 players servers sucks sometimes. Also, if you look at the maps, some of them seem to have been rushed out a bit.
But ultimately, if you enjoyed BF3, you'll definitely enjoy BF4 as well. DICE LA has come a long way of fixing the game, especially from a gameplay perspective (tighter controls / removal of visual recoil).
The only thing they really still need to fix imo is the server situation. I can't understand why the hell there aren't mixed servers yet. Be prepared to only play DLC maps on CQL or sometimes Rush, and never have a proper rotation in any server; i.e. it's always the same rotation.

Xbox live deals made me buy BF4 back in Novemeber, the recent premium discount made me jump on that too.
Dragons Teeth has a great set of maps honestly.
I never played Bf3 so maybe I just don't get it, but the Metro map is awful imo.

For real. I played my first non conquest mode after 100 or so hours on the game. Quickly went back to conquest afterwards

So I wanna get back into this game on PC. What's the online community like now a few years in? I don't have any of the expansions sadly. I'm wondering if that's maybe why I'm not finding as much servers as I used to before
Thanks for this. Yeah, I think once this paper's handed in Friday I'll drop the cash and give it a go. Badly need a good shooter to replace Destiny (might as well not have PvP lol).
Not so much a problem for me with maps as BF for me has always been conquest: the game

Been playing Hardcore Rush after playing Conquest and nothing else for months. It's a real breath of fresh air, matches feel so much more engaging now, and teamwork is way more important.
Seems like they've made an effort to balance the mode, I remember thinking the vanilla maps were just terrible for it. Some still are, but for the most part it's good now.
played BF4 yesterday and this happened:
