With as bad as the polls were on Origin for interest in SP I'm surprised it's even in there. Only so many modern combat FPS's you can do and the story is the same thing every time.

I never load up the single player in any FPS. I never played Halo SP past Halo 3, Never played CoD or BF3 SP at all either. I just want to kill people lol.

there are some good sp fps and i love playing them and i don't want mp integrated to them just bcoz publishers want to tick on one more feature. mp won't be any good and developers have to divert resource from sp which reduces quality of sp also.
mp in dead space was such a waste.

same goes for games like bf3.
we don't want sp in it, please just focus on mp, if we want to play sp we can other games like singularity(one of my fav.) or bioshock

moabs like dota 2 and lol got it right in this aspect of game, people only play them to play online and they focus on that only.

Says you.

They should have done more coop or made the whole campaign coop IMO.

m not against sp but as u know games have fixed budget that means resources and time which could have been used to make e1 better mp who be diverted toward sp. if sp in bf3 means that quality of mp will be lowered than i don't want sp. m ok with mp only.
its they somehow get good sp as well as mp it would be great.

While I agree that single player isn't that important, I'm not sure I agree that the resources are wasted on it. Almost all the audiovisual resources built for single player will/can be applied to multiplayer and the maps could be played multiplayer; I don't think there's a great deal that would go into the single player part of the game that couldn't then be re-used in multiplayer aside from some of the actual 'character' models/faces/voices and probably a handful of specialized levels/areas.

[B]...My takeaway is that the Nvidia GTX 760 gets a slight edge over the more expensive AMD 7950 ...[/B]

THIS. Being able to play the entire campaign in coop would be AMAZING. Oh, but right, they wouldn't be able to use all of that QTE junk, or at least they'd have to think outside the box to make it work.

Odd, I remember QTEs in the last Coop map for BF3. It was nice, as the partner had to protect the defusing player. Too bad it was the same QTE code.

A short single player campaign that functions primarily as eye candy and showing off the engine works for me.

I like eye candy. It makes my eyeballs wet.

vg247 - Battlefield 4 Battlelog reveal coming later today

We're releasing a first glimpse of #Battlelog for #BF4 with a trailer later today ..

Softpedia - Battlefield 4 Battlelog 2.0 Trailer Leaks, Shows Integrated Experience

Youtube Link

The development team at DICE has announced that it will deliver a new trailer for the Battlelog feature of the coming Battlefield 4 and the video has now leaked ahead of the official reveal.

Members of the development team are featured in the leaked trailer offering information on the various new features that will make Batllelog a more integrated experience that will work on the PC, home consoles, phones and tablets.

Players will also get more options to customize their characters and can also set up a new type of challenge that will be linked to the match’s leaderboard.

Battlelog is an integral part of the Battlefield experience and has been adopted by other Electronic Arts games.

The new shooter is set to arrive on October 29 in the US and on November 1 in Europe on the PC, the Xbox 360 and the PS3.

Battlefield 4's Battlelog will incorporate a second screen into play, allowing users to utilize a tablet as a dynamic mini-map during matches, or as a stat-tracking ...

Half of it looks useless (checking stats, changing loadout while you're not playing) but the way they're integrating other devices to be used while you're actually playing is pretty cool really. Dedicated minimap close at hand would be really useful and the "missions" among friends will be amusing. Being able to change servers without unloading the game and going back to the battlelog seems convenient as well.

I'd be happy if I could have a full screen map on my 2nd monitor rather than my iPad.

I'd probably grab a small, second monitor just for that right there. (second monitor for dedicated map)

Not sure why this hasn't been added to almost all FPS games...especially online games like BFx.

The concept seems so simple to me and I agree it would be sweet to be able to have!

Does sound cool, but may make things too easy. Might feel like I was cheating.

Then again since I mainly stick to HC my map would be blank. LOL

Probably because the actual number of end-user dual monitor setups that play video games is ultimately pretty marginal. I think it's a good idea/feature, but doesn't have much of an audience. The number of tablets owners likely blows the number of multi monitor owners out of the water.

mp1st - Battlefield 4 After-Match Report Now Shows Next Map in Rotation, [Update: Vehicle Decals Spotted]


Originally spotted by “JumboNess” in the recent Battlefield 4 Battlelog trailer, you can see in the screen capture below that the next map is clearly indicated when finishing up a previous match.



While it is a real nit-pick, it has been a heavily requested feature since the launch of Battlefield 3 in 2011. Currently, players are unaware as to what map they will be entering into upon ending a match in Battlefield 3 – that is unless, of course, you have the entire map rotation memorized.

Pretty cool! What are some other missing Battlefield 3 features that you hope make it into Battlefield 4?

If you missed it, we caught a few other nifty surprises from the Battlelog trailer, including a new snow-covered map and how joining a match as a spectator works. Check it out here!

Thanks, JoyPad.

Update

Taken from the Battlefield 4 Alpha Trial, the screen below shows off not only customizable vehicle camoflauge patterns, but also the ability to display clan emblems or decals somewhere on the exterior.

We’ve already confirmed that soldier and weapon camos will be a part of Battlefield 4, but it appears that we might have even more customization options to look forward to with regards to vehicles.

Thanks, Bf4cental



What do you guys think? Cool, or gimmicky. Keep in mind that the image is from the Alpha trial, meaning what you see might not be anywhere near final.
