Battlefield 4

Geddes · Dec 8, 2013

Some maps are great at 64 but one or two maps aren't. I really really like the PS3 conquest set up on it, I'm just not settled in on this.

Ray Gin · Dec 8, 2013

The frame rate (if that's what it is) drops MASSIVELY when the levolutions take place, so much so that the game almost pauses.

Also, on PS3 the Siege of Shanghai levolution was a tad disappointing, as when you can see the building split in half all you can see is white, I thought for the PS4 version they would have added some detail into it but it's the same.

Not noticed that myself, seems to be fine on mine.

This game is so broken

I should have said, it seems fine but when you are up close it happens. For example if you are on the hotel roof, on Hainan resort when part of the building collapses, few of us had the same issue recently.

Turned this on earlier to play the campaign and it started from the beginning with no option to start where I finished off last time.

what a joke.

Gavin. · Dec 9, 2013

I have never ever raged at a game as much as this and bf3, it drives me up the f**king wall. I need to give it up I think.

On Xbox One?

I had the same with it on PS4. Not gonna start it again until they patch it though really enjoying MP.

I find its very dependent on your team. If you get a half decent team then the game is generally awesome. Get a $hit team and the rage quickly builds.

dk · Dec 9, 2013

yeah on xboxone

banther · Dec 9, 2013

Found out how to change vehicle controls to BF3 ones - OPtions - Vehicle controls - Veteran (use triggers to accelerate rather than analogue forward).

Also - used my China rising DLC but if I try to join a server using those maps it directs me immediately to the "Buy Premium" page.

dk · Dec 9, 2013

i inputted my code when i first played it, then i went to the store last night to download it and it only offered me the premium package, i have no idea how I'm supposed to actually get it. I tried to redeem the code again and it just said it was already redeemed.

this does seem to be a bit of a shambles.

Exactly the same as me.

WOnt be purchasing Premium just in case!!

Had a 55 min long game of Conquest last nght. Levelled up 2 times. Got booted came back in and yeahhhhh back to rank 6. Cheers EA!!

Does it boot you all the way back to the Xbox home screen too?

dk · Dec 9, 2013

ive not had that, but then I've not played it online hardly, al the stories have basically put me off.

If you get kicked don't rejoin the server as you'll lose your points from that game. That has always been the case with the BF series, join next round.

I had a patch to download last night (again) for the pc, played for three hours and levelled up 7 times, now rank 76. Its all getting a bit silly with battle packs and a double xp all the time. If they want to make it like COD then ffs rename the series as the reason I play the BF series is for its realism.

Oh and the unmanned drones, wtf? Can kill a tank with one hit from anywhere, road kill troops, most over powered kit in the game.

N0ddie · Dec 9, 2013

I think the ranking up system is alright tbh. Not too fast like COD but fast enough that you don't lose interest. I've played 11 hours and am rank 11.

I definitely think though that rocket launchers are underpowered. 4-5 rockets to destroy a tank? Surely thats not right?

v16daf · Dec 9, 2013

Played 4 straight hours on this last night, all obliteration. The rounds had no lag what so ever. Attack boats are devestating, probably my favourite vehicle in the game

banther · Dec 9, 2013

All I ever play is conquest - what else is good fun?

Dont like the whole team deathmatch vibe. Prefer to play an objective

N0ddie · Dec 9, 2013

Conquest is definitely the way to go.

Yeah in BF3 I was always the one just going round capturing bases whereas some people just go for the kills. PTFO!!

Isn't China Rising only available to Premium users at the moment? They get it 2 weeks early. So although you've put your code in, it's not actually released yet to everyone else.

I think.

Scutch · Dec 9, 2013

Also, yes, Conquest is the mode of choice.

Ray Gin · Dec 9, 2013

I'm really enjoying Conquest, although I played Rush mostly on BF3.

Good

NOt sur if you saw but vehicle controls are changed in options - switch to Veteran and you have BF3 vehicle controls back. Much better IMO.

Scott™ · Dec 9, 2013

Love voice commands on the kinnect. Tbh it be nice to play with some of you lads on here. I also love the revised tunnels and halls on op metro. Gives it a new dimension.

Padso · Dec 9, 2013

Are the servers down tonight or something? Been trying to get onto multiplayer all evening and keep getting "You have lost connection to the session" messages...

matt91 · Dec 9, 2013

yeah i think so, i had that around 6ish i gave up and not tried since

Scott™ · Dec 9, 2013

No issues on xbox one or on my iPad as commander.

This is is really starting to f**k me off now, payed £400+ for a console and game that is completely unplayable, can't even get into a game just constant "lost connection to ea servers" they should be fixing this now!! I wouldn't mind if they where atleast giving some info of when it will be fixed but ea/dice seem to be keeping everything under cloak and dagger

You're not well up on EA's priorities are you? Make money with new DLC's first then fix issues if they can be bothered second. That's normally how it works with them.

This is on the one yes

N0ddie · Dec 10, 2013

Allegedly the PC version is fixed?

Some PS4 issuess have been sorted:

We at DICE have a long tradition of supporting our games and our community well after the release of a title. While millions of players are enjoying Battlefield 4, we are aware that some players are experiencing issues with the game.

If you are one of them, this Battlefield 4 tracker will give you the latest updates in regards to some of the top issues we are going to fix and fan feedback we’re implementing in the game. We always work with trackers for our games internally which enables us to track and fix bugs as quickly as possible. We’ve never made it external before, but this seems like a great way to keep you constantly updated on how we’re progressing.

Before we dive into the tracker, please keep in mind this is not a comprehensive list – we’re working on some smaller fixes as well. Each of the issues in this tracker will have one of three statuses. We’re commited to fixing all issues in this tracker (and more.)

Statuses explained
INVESTIGATING means we are aware of a specific issue and working to reproduce it. Often, getting a solid reproduction is what actually allows us to eliminate a bug in the end.

FIXING means that we have been able to reproduce an issue and are working on a fix. This might be a simple line of code or a larger task. Once we have the solution, we code, test and get it live. An issue with the label FIXING is on its way to being resolved.

FIX LIVE means that we have fixed the issue in a patch that has already gone live. For example, we had a bug that accounted for a quarter of all crashes on PS4. That issue was fixed in the latest PS4 game update that went live Dec 5. Many other issues are already addressed.

Geddes · Dec 10, 2013

Just counted on the things of that list that's still happening to me up to now and it's 7. Yet it still crashed 3 times in the space of an hour n bit tonight. Very very frustrating

MikeLYR27 · Dec 10, 2013

I've not been able to join a game online for ages! Really annoying!

BigDaveRotary · Dec 10, 2013

I get the sound bug and some crashes between maps. It has been a long time since it died on me mid map.

Overall not too upset by BF4. Love playing!

Darren S · Dec 10, 2013

The game is simply too big and complex for its own good. Funny on how the older, simpler BF's never had as many issues as this. BF3 set a new standard in feck-ups (one of the main reason's why I jacked it in) - but they don't appear to have learnt much with the release of BF4.

Can EA/DICE plan to make a more focused affair - rather than being rehashed mess of 3 and 4? I really hope they can.

Scutch · Dec 10, 2013

Xbox One patch is arriving soon apparently.

timuss · Dec 10, 2013

Non premium members get the map pack from the 17th.
