I was hoping we'd get a little BF4 teaser today. I thought they'd want to take a little something away from COD's livestream.
EA will be curb stomping COD tomorrow with 64-player MP. I just really hope they show XB1/PS4 footage so I can see what it's going to look like on a version I'll be playing.

Youre wrong because Frostbite 2 does not give poor performance as you stated.

PC specs? Also you do realize that BF (and PS2) is a bit CPU intensive right?
Don't forget that stupid blue filter shit.

Honestly, I'd wish they'd just go back to the aesthetics of BC1 and 2. At least BC2 was bright and had some color.

Yea I agree. I'm just being impatient. Hopefully they give us some console love.
I love how people are comparing and complaining about a completely unfinished product with a finished product. Plus I'm sure people who by this on PC or PS4 will get a great bump in graphic fidelity. It's so silly how people complaining about a 8 year old piece of hardware not getting a huge graphical bump.
Just think how impatient we'll be if they wait til close to launch to show next-gen console footage. :'(
It took forever to see BF3 running on 360. Which is the version I bought. Show some next-gen console love, EA/DICE.
If by console love you mean showing off some cramped 24 player map like Operation Metro, then yes that is probably what you will see.
Water could be a big deal in BF3 since they advertise their game as combat over different environments i.e. air, ground, water. It's just something I find surprising that they haven't done much in terms of water tech when they want battles over seas and have carriers. Maybe it just hasn't been revealed, so we'll see.
What we've seen so far from BF4, it seems that the blue shit has been toned down a bit in-game. The 'Fishing in Baku' demo looked pretty clean, so lets hope that rings true for the rest of the game.
They just wont. Why show off your game on the biggest, most watched event of the year on a technically inferior platform? It just wont happen.
Demo and trailers will all be on PC, and the game will almost assuredly be running on PC on the show floor.

So microtransactions are in?

Think Mass Effect 3. But the short answer is yes I suppose. They are allegedly only cosmetic, though.

Hopefully the water in MP of BF4 looks better than BF3s.

Ugh microtransactions. As long as they're cosmetic I don't really mind though
I have a feeling I will hype this game a lot and it will let me down. Please fix your class system at least DICE, you broke it to fuck in BF3
Also is that on the fly scope switching I see?

I REALLY want to know how much physics will play in destruction animation. It would be really impressive to have air vehicles crash animation dependent on physics. \\\each explosion would be unique. They could effect different parts of the vehicle accordingly, so every time you get damaged, you're vehicle will handle slightly/severely differently. Don't use static defaults, go with dynamic ranges. So a plain hit on the right side will fly differently depending on how much damage, what hit it and at what angle. Most of these are number calculations, just allow for a few animation branches and randomize the sequence so we would have the final effect of seeing a plain crash relatively differently each time.
I believe next gen has the tech to do that.

They've been promising that with pretty much every game since Battlefield 2. Never going to happen if their history is anything to go by.

Half the game isn't textured. Give them a bit of time at least.
EA can sell a texture pack.
Oh youll still be grinding, this is just an extra unlock on top of the other 5000 unlocks in the game. Its the modern FPS way

So the battlepacks are in game credits that you get while playing? That's not bad then. As long as EA don't exploit it and have a "Pay $5 for X amount of credits"

I hope you're kidding.
Some of the best infantry weapons in the game are available to new players from the very beginning.
If you want unlocks right now is the easiest time to do it between all the different map packs.

well, looking at server browsers, Metro seems to be way more popular on PC than on either console.
sell more than one! high contrast packs more more cheddar!

People judging graphics by alpha footage of last-gen console versions...lol.
that looks fucvking awful without the color filter. maybe toning it down would be good but removing completely is garbage.
So right, I'm gonna sum up what this tells us:
Clear and confirmed:
- Beta map is likely to be "Siege", an urban map with a very vertical inclination (Bravo point is at the top of a skyscraper) and from the looks of it, lots of side-paths and rooms to breach through, while still maintaining enough ground attack space to support three MBTs, a couple of humvees (now Buffalo MRAP, thanks Tekku)
- 5 members to a squad.
- C4 for snipers (may be just for the alpha)
- Able to change both Knife and Grenade type
- Top Down view of deployment area when deploying on static points (squad spawning uncertain)
- New Optics (Trijicon pattern 6x sight, "CL6X")
- Two stage optics takes up the "accessory" slot in weapon customization, likely activated by same button used to toggle LLMs and Flashlights
- New weapons
-Assault Rifles:
CZ 805 A2 (Czech Republic, 5.56 NATO, 700rpm)
QBZ-95-1 (China, 5.8 PLA, 650rpm)
-PDWs
CZ 3A1 Skorpion EVO III (Czech Republic, 9x19mm, 1100rpm)
-Sniper Rifles
Steyr Scout Tactical (Austria, 7.62 NATO, Bolt Action)
-LMGs
Ultramax 100 (Singapore, 5.56 NATO, 600rpm)
-Pistols
QSZ-92 (China, unknown if 9x19mm or 5.8mm, single fire)
Needs further clarification:
- Unlocks handled by "Battlepacks". Unclear as to whether these are the only way to unlock everything, whether they unlock attachments, or purely aesthetic elements.
- Battlepacks unlocked via gameplay (CONFIRMED), but unsure of requirements to unlock them via gameplay and if they can be "bought" like crates in TF2 separate from gameplay.
- Unsure if you can get "doubles", ie, two PKA-S Red dot sights for the same weapon, from these battlepacks and if there is some planned marketplace to trade/sell attachments.
- Simplification of specializations? (unsure of what "offensive" means)
- Unsure if knives will have different stats such as swing time, range, recovery, and damage, or if they'll be purely aesthetic differences.
- If Battlepacks aren't the sole way to unlock things, how will unlocks be handled within the game? Linearly as BF3 or in a manner to work with the battlepacks?
- Appears to be accessory option for sidearms. May be corroborated by the short shotgun with Trijicon RMR sight from Fishing in Baku. Needs further clarification.
So, any controversy about this?

Yeah but nerfing weapons ain't the same thing as working on core concept systems. I had a good time with BF3 on and off, but i had a great time with BFBC2.
