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

Screw BF4, I'm going back to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

Forget that. I'm going back to Dig Dug and Donkey Kong.

Pre-load will be at least 24 hours before the game launches (if you ordered on Origin). My question is how soon before game launchs will Amazon(BF4) and GMG(Premium) send me my keys to enable me to start downloading?

Thanks. Just saw the preorder blurb on Origin.

I know GMG generally gives out the keys a day ahead of time, not sure on Amazon. Hopefully you get it early.

Pong! FTW

Bah, you aren't hardcore unless you are on a BBS MUD.

Tetris on the original nintendo was much more fun then BF3, picked up a clear colored gameboy and even had it on there a couple years ago and i got into this zone with that game and that gameboy and it was so bad i actually had to give the damn thing away so i could stop playing.0_o True story.

BF3 has been fun but not even close to being as addictive as Tetris was.

If you're not using punch cards, you're doing it wrong. I win.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

MP1st - Battlefield 4 "Flood Zone" Gameplay Incoming this Friday, Xbox One and PS4 to Follow.

I did a pre beta upgrade -> 1TB EVO SSD.

Maybe another upgrade post BF4 launch depending on how the cards hold up to the final build optimizations. The 580's were not bad on a 1440 monitor.

I haven't pre-oreded yet. Might just wait for the BF deal with Gamestop ($30). I believe for BF3, Origin also had $#) BF deal.

On the same note, what about Premium codes..i got BF4 with origin, but premium with amazon.

 

[darkewaffle]

Good call on the GMG pre-order deal. I didn't get in on the previous one because, well, I forgot lol. But I got the coupon for this one again, so that works out nicely.

I think to be eligible for the coupon you may have had to have ordered an FPS or a BF product from them before; I don't believe it's just 'all customers'.

Dranzerk now has access to Battlefield 4.

Preload Oct.26th 11am CST.

Remember the BF3 launch where we all used proxies to register in some foreign country (was it Korea?) so we could download and play before everyone else? Yeah, I don't remember that either

Anywho, speaking of upgrades, I may try using a 32" 1080p TV I have kicking around, but if it sucks, I will keep using my 1050 monitor. I think I might want to upgrade the old 6850. What say you guys, 7870 MYST @ $140 or 7950 @ $180? I don't want to spend more than I have to, but I want to see some eye candy! I will not be overclocking. I have a i5 2400. Thanks!

Can this still be done?
If yes, does it only apply if you haven't bought the game yet, or?

 

[imaheadcase]

BF4 Preload is 25gigs, also amazon.com will have codes to you before then.

 

[Grooveriding]

I'm guessing we can't. For the BF4 beta release they standardized the release across all time zones to be in sync. So my guess is they will do the same for the retail release.

 

[taq8ojh]

Standardized in what way? I am sure in Europe it launches several days after America, which royally pissed me off.

they are so cheap now I dont even want to sell the one I am not using.....:|

If Wikipedia is to be believed you are actually right and I was wrong thinking it be the same across regions.

I guess the best way to unlock early for people out of NA is use a NA VPN to login and unlock. Seems completely asinine to me to release such a major title staggered this way, particularly a multiplayer focused one.

 

[taq8ojh]

Yeah I don't know what are the people in EA thinking.

 

[Alamat]

So any pre-order deals around? I didn't get the GMG email so...

Maybe the´re thinking that having everybody starting to play at once will probably overload the servers?

I'm looking for a deal too. The only thing I've found so far is @ Amazon where you get some kind of $10 credit
