As in pros and cons of the game. I just want to make sure that when I have the money I won’t regret the purchase.
Nothing yet, it’s just a DLC pass.
One shiiy camo
And a %25 xp boost
crashing every 5-60minutes… SO aggravating. The game was not ready for release of course. Might stop playing until they figure out a fix for it
Go to the file ‘redist’ and activate the DirectX installer.
Nothing major. Don’t worry about it. Just buy it if you want and enjoy the coming perks.
It just looks so damn fun though. I mean to the untrained eye, nothing has changed but from BF3 the game has really evolved in both magnitude and complexity. Also, any money that I save will go to the Oculus Rift first.
If money is an issue and you have the base game then don’t buy and don’t worry. Your not missing anything major until dlcs start rolling out… Anyways…
Did it, still crashing. Started with beta drivers: tons of crashing. Normal drivers: slightly less crashing. DX install: slightly less crashing. Still crashing. The state of this game aggravates me to no end
I wonder if I should torrent it, then buy it later… that’s what my friend did with Skyrim. Oh, I should clarify that I do not have the base game.
Battlefield 4 is an amazing game. I’d be a fool and a liar if I told you it didn’t have its fair share of frustrating problems (Rampant crashes, save files corrupting, and missing features). Despite these issues, it’s a terribly fun game. Even on the worst build of the game (the Xbox 360/ PS3 version) with lesser graphics and smaller maps, it’s a testament what 12 years can do for a franchise. These problems will be fixed in due time. It’s a matter of being patient enough to suffer through them, or just waiting until it gets a more stable build. I’ll be perfectly honest, this game excels because of it’s Multiplayer. The Singleplayer game, though filled with dazzling locations and situations, is only 7 missions long.

Battlefield Premium will include all the DLC expansions included in the price as well as immediately including:
A custom knife (Carbon Fiber Knife)
Some Emblem customization options
Three player camos (ERDL (USA), Urban Tiger (CN), Yeger (RU) )
Two weapon camos (Beogam and Relish)
Premium exclusive Dogtags
and a Gold Battlepack.
There will be “content” drops weekly. Anything you miss before you buy premium will be given to you at purchase. These “content” drops can include: Gold Battlepacks (Once a month for a year, 12 total), a new knife (3-4 per year), Double XP events, Weapon/Soldier Camos, dog tags, and Emblem customization options. Here’s a rough image of the schedule I found on google:
I hope this helps you make up your mind.
I find the stability of the game to greatly increase when I’m not alt-tabbing or going into options.
The Premium off-the-bat thing makes me worry about the game’s longevity though.
I’d suspect that this wouldn’t work with something like Premium. It’s not software per se, it’s a service (and tied in to your Origin / BF4 account…)
What is there to worry about? If anything, we have far more transparency as to what’s coming. The only thing we really don’t know is exactly when all of the DLCs drop (thanks to timed exclusives).
Well we already have a rough one year calendar. I am just saying that I know that BF3 is still going strong but maybe not another year strong and that may be the case of BF4 considering its early weakness regarding optimization.
Even if your torrent the game, skyrim and bf4 are two totally different games where as one is strictly single player and the other is mainly multiplayer. I highly doubt you’re going to be able to play the game at all with other people because you’re not going to be able to connect to the servers
Am I the only one here tht thinks bf3 felt better overall (better movement speed) and had much less foliage cluttered light rays everywhere maps
