You CAN dive while swimming, by using the "Prone" Key

Well fuck me, I could have swore I tried this... Thanks!

I didnt think you could do it either. I tried diving in the beta, but I thought it would be either mouse look or space to control depth. Using crouch or prone is kinda weird.

It feels natural once you try it, it's prone for down and jump (space) for up, just like on land.

Honestly, AI "intelligence" is night and day vs. a game from 10 years ago. Go play one from 10 years ago. It is easy to make it so that AI can just laser kill you from across the map when you step in range, it is it hard to make AI look somewhat believable.

STALKER: ShoC was developed in the mid-2000's and has far better AI than any BF game has ever had.

Same for Crysis and even F.E.A.R.

AI with scripting that lets NPC's evaluate distances to cover and speed of approach, with the ability to flank and even receive input from other NPC's, as well as use some pretty advanced navigation techniques.

Battlefield for the most part has none of those things. They design AI to basically bob up and down behind an anchor or run along a strictly defined path. You can see they're still using it in the video.

I remember just standing there watching it in BF3's single-player campaign. Guys just bobbing up and down, using the same animation over and over.

No big deal, though.....DICE invests in the MP side of this game. That's what it's all about. The SP campaign is mostly just a showcase for some of their rendering tech.

Yup, yup, no worries, just an FYI.

Video looks good. I can't help but think there was a lot missing from the beta in terms of graphical fidelity. It was good, but nowhere near as good as the video makes it look.

I wish I could find good pilots so I could be a gunner, in bf3 it was like 1 out of every 100 games. lol

Does anyone think Battlefield 4 would sell a lot more copies if it was sold on Steam too or would it not make a huge difference ?

To me I don't care.

You can't dive while swimming, if you jump in from a higher level you do go deeper into the water so this might allow you to access something you're "not supposed to".

Sure you can, hit ctrl while swimming and you dive down under the surface.

I do that all the time.

Unlike most games I don't think it matters a lick. Which is probably why EA keeps it on Origin. If not for Battlefield, no one would even install Origin methinks.

Yep, I think Titanfall also is going to make it more popular though.

someone else also said that ended at 10am ET today. I tried it at 11am and it would not even accept the code. But it could also be because I've never ordered from them before - another criteria others were mentioning.

TAREM-BF4NA-BOOM1. This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with another voucher, valid on Battlefield 4 NA ONLY. Valid until 1500UTC 28/10/2013.

TAREM-BF4NA-PROMO. This one however, ended today.

I wasn't able to get in on the PROMO one but I received the BOOM1 code early today and was able to buy it. I guess the amount of complaints from people made GMG realize that people still wanted to get this game and decided to make it available to everyone who has purchased something before.

If you have a mic, then I humbly offer my services when I'm not flying for Zargon

I just used the BOOM1 code on gmg and it was successful. And yet, I still feel dirty. I was going to wait to purchase when the price was closer to half off but decided, wth, I spend that much a week on gas.
Now, the question is, when can we get premium for half price? :hmm:

Premium on BF/CM will probably be 30+% off.
Regular copy is already expected to be 50% off on BF at GameStop.

Thanks. That one works. Now I'm debating on if i should go ahead and grab premium too, even though it's not discounted..
