The AT Battlefield 4 F.A.Q., News, and Discussion thread

The tiered reload means you get exactly to the point of realoading you were at before you switched guns? Call me weird, but I don't like it. I know this is not reality simulator, but ahem, this seems pretty stupid.

That all sounds great except the less "floaty" movement improvements. Im not exactly sure what they mean by that because I dont feel that way at all in BF3, it moves and feels great to me. I sure hope they dont go back to BC2's "stuck in mud" feel. If I cant strafe run.... BF4's movements look fluid enough in the videos, I guess Ill have to wait for the beta and see how it is for myself.

Does this mean I am in the CoD crowd? D:

yep! strafe sprint is garbage.

sorry!

tiered

not wherever you left off

I would imagine that until you get to the part where the mag gets pulled, you would start over if you interrupted

I would guess that

remove mag

insert new mag

would be the tiers, because the next big animation is racking the slide pumping the shotgun ETC then you are reloaded(for a full reload from empty chamber)

I refer you to my previous posts.
Step 1: Read them again.
Step 2: Repeat step 1.

Reread my previous posts which cites experience.

And than read your posts, which cites nothing.

Sorry!

blasphemy!

 

[Zargon]

Truth. No one can do it. Its garbage.

 

[DeadFred]

Truth. No one can do it. Its garbage.

No one can sprint forever without stopping. No one can reload while vaulting a wall. No one can survive a full on blast in the face from an RPG, M320, mobile AA gun, or half a dozen rounds from a tank mounted 50 cal. Neither can they jump from a jet, then hit E at just the right moment and enter a helo....

Sooo, whats your point? :biggrin:

I just can't get over how much atmosphere the weather effects on the paracel gameplay video's adds. I had no idea my multiplayer games were missing that kind of ambience. Pretty cool stuff they are doing.

Completely horrible for competitive gaming, but I'm old enough to be over competition in gaming. Just don't have the time I did in college to devote to it.

 

[Ackmed]

Speaking of effects, I reeeeally hope they take out the over dramatic and just idiotic day time blinding by tac lights, or the sun. It's fucking stupid, and I hate people who use them just to blind others.

What DICE has done is amazing overall...I remember going back to BF2 not long after BC2 came out, and shooting a hut with a tank. Nothing happened. I was so underwhelmed after getting used to the destruction in BC2, I couldn't go back. There were a lot of issues in BC2, but they did so much more right with it in terms of progression that I couldn't go back. Same with BF3...the gun play was so much tighter, the maps bigger and better, and the vehicles so much better than BC2. Unfortunately, they still haven't gotten back to BF2 levels.

I hope upon hope that BF4 gives new destruction interactions, plus the ability to use vehicles without the stupid mechanics in BF3, where joysticks are inferior to KB+M in Jets and Helos, and there's a stupid bouncing mechanic in the vehicles for no reason whatsoever.

Games=fun
competitive gaming= real life war.

BF4 might be fun

Heh, I haven't reverted to games just being fun quite yet. I'm somewhere in the middle when I play. I just still have this overwhelming urge to destroy people in game and piss them off.

Truth. No one can do it. Its garbage.

It would be great if game would allow you to try to do it.. (same for backward running, jumping.)
But it would cause one to fall down on rubble, stairs etc.

LOL

can climb/vault some obstacles and reload, I do it all the time on Noshar, it looks really funny when you are jumping over something with both hands on your weapon while your butt and both legs are in mid air.

yes, forever, can sprint all the way across Caspian!!! PS-I havent played more than a few hours of any CoD since 4, your marathon means nothing to me. (give me dead silence, UAV jammer, and a suppressor and im a freaking cod4 ninja!!!)

I cant begin to count the times Ive survived or had someone survive a direct hit from a RPG/320 while playing HC. Heck, it even takes 2 headshots from the G3A3 to kill on HC. Happens every game, support guy or sniper get bipoded up behind cover, nothing exposed but thier head and it takes two hits to kill them if they are at full 60% HC health. RIDICULOUS!!!

Anywho, my point is its a game there is nothing real about it....let there be strafe!!!!

BTW, Whats your beef with it? It sure helps us run and gunners, without it Id just camp more. :biggrin:

How is that any different than walking sideways, backwards, or even forwards while aiming down the sights?

makes it harder for me to HS guys sprinting if they can strafe dodge while running :ninja:

 

[taq8ojh]

What does "vault" mean?

 

[jackstar7]

What does "vault" mean?

In this context: Jump over.

 

[DeadFred]

LOL

Okay, but you gotta remember that it works for you too!!

 

[SLU Aequitas]

Personally, the only thing I'm disappointed with is that EA and DICE have not included twerkin as an evasive combat maneuver in this game :'(

 

[Zargon]

LOL

Okay, but you gotta remember that it works for you too!!

yep

I know other ways to dodge bullets(see SLU's post )


I would prefer the movement mechanics for infantry be as real as can be while still being 'fun'

not jr level superman like some other popular FPS series

I checked and you can sometimes 'vault' and reload, they should fix that. asap.

there are always going to be compromises, because its a game, especially with vehicles

better to hit E and warp, than start a 20 second 'getting in a vehicle' animation that makes a sitting duck, I hate dying while doing some scripted BS like that, so frustrating

though it would be fun to snipe people off the top of tanks as they crawl in

Attack of the Fanboy - Battlefield 4 launch with 10 maps, 7 game modes

[quoter]

DICE has revealed that there will be plenty of content to arrive with Battlefield 4. In a recent interview at Gamescom, DICE’s Linnea Harrison revealed that there will be 10 multiplayer maps and 7 game modes that ship with the title.

By comparison, Battlefield 3 saw 9 maps and 5 game modes at launch.

Other Battlefield 4 details that came out of the covention, include new information about Commander mode. BF4 Central is reporting that Commander Mode will not be available in all game modes, and will be limited to objective based modes.

DICE also revealed a brand new game mode at Gamescom, called Obliteration.

DICE describes the new mode as “one of the most frantic and high-paced modes available in Battlefield 4.” In the all-new mode, “Two teams face off on medium-sized battlegrounds where one bomb spawns in a random central location. The mission: To pick up the bomb and arm it at one of the enemy’s three military installations and blow it up. When the bomb has detonated, a new bomb spawns in a random location, and the race is on again! The first team to destroy all three objectives wins.”[/quote]
