Agree with you truegun, apart from the speculation that the company is too big. I think they are just VERY VERY ambitious in what they try to pull off. To be fair though, for the most part they succeed. The high ping issue is nothing new though as i am sure you are quite aware. It has been a hot topic since way before the release of BF4 and something really needs to be done about it. I know PC have script which kick consistently high ping players, we need something similar.
I though bf4 had a 2 year life span.?..if so there is still a lot of time left to enjoy this game..if they fix it properly
About is being too late …maybe, but I wont be buying Hardline, (at least not on release) because my face is still burning from the slap that I took with no warning from BF4, I learned My lesson here…
If they manage to really fix the game when it comes to laggers, not the supression or triage or anything of that really matters for me, the laggers do, they make the game horrible then I will stick with this one for a while until another one comes along but Hardline is not really in my horizon
Nothing that I saw compels me to buy it
I played BF3 for 2 years, only the last 3 months I was really starting to get fed up with the game…
this one has bigger maps, more meat to chew, I really enjoy playing it aside from the problems it has…
In the end it is on DicEa Court, the way they handle this situation will weigh on my decision after…
At this point I am hopefull again, Dice LA has been doing a great job, the past few weeks it has been good news
Today was the best of them all, even not being a confirmation of it happening it is a major step in a direction…
Acknowledging the issue is a huge step
If They Fix It This Game Is epic
^^^^I second that
Of course the South African think he’s a beast at the game. It has NOTHING to do with his 400+ ms ping to pretty much any server.
I am looking forward for the next few days
Why? I seriously doubt we will see any meaningful change over the next few days.
Why?
Because the seed is planted…
Final thoughts.
BF4 will be an after thought once Hardline hits.
Hardline Beta plays better than BF4 currently on consoles.
DICE isn’t completely to blame for this launch.
They only had 1.5 years to complete BF4.
BF4 is honestly just a test on next (now current gen)consoles for battlefront.
Hardline will run great, and it may even be competitive.
Just enjoy this game, don’t take it too seriously.
Hardline will be fun for you infantry guys.
It is a shame that they released the game as it is and decided to have DICE LA be the clean up crew, it is what it is.
I want that MuNny kid to go ping test a server on the east coast US and tell us what he gets..then playing on console adds another 50 to 80ms..all I know is I join from BL at 23ms..I’m game test says I’m at 110ms..so I know his is up there.yet with his so called “bad connection” and 300 ms ping he has over a 2 kd..OK bud
I agree with You nevertheless should have been a better product ( I know it is not fair the comparing but) look at battlefield 1943…
that was a test for 10€ I played for very long time, started my jet pilot skills there
Hardline is also what you say it is but For me that is not Battlefield, but “something” disguised (switch something for the first game that pops in your head)
I want this game to be playable even that is nothing more than a 120€ test for future tittles
The way I see it, Dice La is making a damn good job so far, if they deliver us some kind of feature resembling ping cap and players pings on scoreboard for me they could stop there and pick their money…
I understand.
Hardline is just a title similar to battlefield 4, as it uses the frostbite engine; and involves several modes that are similar to the base game.
Visceral made the DLC Close Quarters for BF3.
They did a great job with it.
Hardline is their new project and they had three years of development time.
The name Battlefield:Hardline doesn’t bother me at all.
They maybe should have just called it “hardline” and been done with it in my opinion.
Going forward, people will probable just call it hardline anyways.
Well I’m done with bf4 for awhile. …I didn’t spend 500 on a console so I can get passed off everyday..I’ll keep checking BL to see if there are any patches coming up..later guys
Dunno about that.
I’ll have to see it at launch.
I will wait on this one since I got burned with Bf4,
Of all the Dlc from Bf3 that was the one I liked less, I am an all round player but close quarters it is not my obssession and every time I Think Battlefield I think BIg maps as Valparaiso, Oasis ; Arica harbour (sorry about being from Bad Company series), Didnt like much those claustrophobic ones I played it enough to realize what I am saying…
Still gonna bump this thread
I highly doubt they will get their own servers it will cost and you know EA as for the Japanese lol the Euro servers went into melt down not so long ago because they flooded our servers and heck last night in an official Euro server we had Brazilians/Japanese/South Africans and US/Canadians it was a total mess.
This i why sadly i don’t care about this game and any of my stats haven’t done since a month after its release the game is a wreck a total mess so i just F**K around doing stupid crap everytime i play because ATM my 38 down 8 up Fibre optic connection and 10 to 25 ping is well just say a waste of money playing BF4 almost tempted to try and slow it down.
