Bought BF4 since the launch of the PS4. Is it still worth playing even without the season passes and stuff?
Yes! They’ve done a lot of work and improvements since it was released. Most people only have the base maps anyway it seems, so that shouldn’t give you much trouble at all. But I felt premium was worth having all the maps to choose from.
Did you know they added a timer to the revive icons? Lots of little stuff like that and other larger changes as well. Full control over your minimap size, HUD and settings for all sort of in world icons. Not to mention customizable sensitivity for weapons of different ranges and in zoom. And how much information you want about control points/enemies when looking at them.
There’s a lot more fine control of all sorts of different aspects to help it work best for your play style.
I also make use of the presets on battlelog. Have it open on my PC while I’m playing on PS3 and use it to quickly switch my loadout for match start and when respawning. I just hit apply and it loads it all up just how I want it, down to the class perk or paint job. Extremely handy feature.
Also consoles are soon going to get access to CTE (if you have Premium I assume), so a lot of updates will get influence from consoles as well
With all the new updates it’s like it’s the game we all hoped it would be. Final Stand has literally brought back this game from the dead for me.
As in from the console, or still have to play on a PC?
Totally. It’s always been an excellent game, even when they released it as a bug-ridden “final” product, and it’s only gotten better.
As in from the console so you actually feel what it’s like on console
What is CTE?
Community Testing Environment I think
I have premium. How do I access the other maps? I want to play the bf3 maps
I bought it for $5 at gamestop last week. I’m actually enjoying it. I’m not so good at it, though. I focus on being a medic and helping my team more than my k/d. Not that it would matter, I suck in comparison to the 130 level players. So I’m content with my 1.35 k/d. but I’m usually at the top of the leaderboard on my team. But it’s a little annoying at how good a lot of people are in the game lol. so if you aren’t halfway decent at FPS.. you’re going to experience a lot of games by being killed a lot.
But I bought BF4 Premium and really like the maps. Not all of them, though. If BF3 comes on sale again for around $5, I’ll probably buy that, too. The only thing about Bf4 I don’t like, is that I don’t have friends that have BF4 so I’m stuck with bad squad mates.. and I play conquest a lot. And the squad leader never utilizes the extra points you can earn by ordering your team. And it’s so frustrating.
more now than ever!
Download the Second Assault map pack. It should be free with premium
yes.
Awesome! Any time I’ve owned a Battlefield game it’s my most common choice for multiplayer. So I’d love to be able to actually get to participate in CTE. (also, PS3 too? or no?)
I wasn’t at the beginning either, it just takes some time to get used to! Sounds like you’re already playing better than the lone wolves though, so a good start for sure. I’m sure my ratio is worse than that but I do a lot of crazy stuff in the name of teamwork. You can also reset your stats on battle log after you get better, so you can afford to try things out to find your play style without tanking your stats.
I add the random good players I meet in quick match and also hit up /r/battlefield_4 for Find a Friend Fridays.
What platform are you on? Also not sure if you know you can make presets for each kit loadout, and apply them from your web browser. With premium you get four preset slots for each, instead of the non-premium 2 slots. Makes adapting to different situations a bit faster and easier.
That part is frustrating for sure. But picking up some online buddies can help a bit. You’ll also learn how to spot good squads, and I recommend switching to them if there’s space.
Well I really only know about it from a Jackfrags video where he mentioned it. Looking at http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2014/12/08/bf4-cte-ps4-coming-soon-dice-confirms/ it seems like it will be all consoles
Is it really still worth it with Hardline right around the corner?
BF4 is definitely still worth playing. I can’t get enough. I try to use every gun, even if it sucks. You just got to hope you have a good team cause sometimes you’re stuck with a group where everyone goes their own way and then you get slaughtered.
So I just played my first BF4 games last night in about 6 months on ps4.
I stopped playing, because I was bored. Not to brag but the game comes easy to me (don’t be stupid). It’s fun, sometimes frustrating and annoying, but going solo drains you of the fun over time.
So, my issues with last night games… I played large conquest two times, and the game is as laggy as ever before (rubber banding). I was completely surprised with how the maps changed for rush. When did this happen and how do they work? Is there a pool of map variances? For example, The Flood map in rush started in teh hills and moved toward A(at the second level of the building) and B on the top of the buildings. In the rush mode last night these were the last bomb sites.
also if anyone looking to play rush a lot add me psn:extravegant
