Just read this article: EA Defends BF 4, SimCity Launch Efforts, Discusses Future
That guy should be a politician, he knows how to not answer questions :D Just wish EA would stop screwing us around and fix the game already.

It's not that broken... I've been playing for more than a week now without any issues.

How is BF4?

I'm not a fan of flying planes, driving tanks or buggies. Just want some FPS action similar to COD. Should I try it or stay clear?

Have you ever tried a BF game before? If you haven't, the idea you might have of the vehicles could be completely wrong. It's simple and adds a whole new level of depth to the game - Try it by a friend.

I want a variety of FPS games, BF4 qualifies but the vehicles puts me off a bit as I am not interested in driving, just plain running around shooting is what I enjoy the most, basically.

You never have to use a vehicle in BF, the infantry are ultimately the most deadly tools.

Then wait for Titanfall.

It's got vehicles as well though :p Well Titans.
 
I use to love hunting tanks as an engineer in bfbc2 with old og and rambo. And it bf3,getting bf 4 end of the month :D Amped.

I get bored when its just infantry I like the dynamic vehicles make, I think a lot of people think tanks make it to hard to just be infantry,I say nope its easy to take a tank out :D
 
And another Gold battle pack challenge lands 50 Million vehicles destroyed to get it. Just fix the Shotguns first please and Give me an MK3A1 i miss my gun :D
 
Played a bit of Obliteration last night, finally seems like they've fixed the freezing in that mode on the Xbox. Was really a lot of fun, often massively chaotic. A welcome break from the monotony of conquest.
 
Yeah i'm a bit tired of conquest but it seems it's all everybody plays where are all the TDM servers or some servers that run at least 4 game modes across the different maps, That's what i loved about BF3 CQ was my fav exp :)
 
Well I managed to play 3 rounds without issues last night...Seems Nvidia drivers are sucking hard lol
Went back to AMD and now my game is fine...lol

Did you use Mantle?
Click to expand...

I have used mantle, it def improves performance especially when you have it running with a FX8350 and a R9 290.
My biggest issue with it is, I don't think AMD should have used BF as the launch platform for it, yes it helped them sell a heck of a lot more cards ect but BF4 is just a buggy mess. Personally I won't be running Mantle again before we have a WHQL Mantle driver and I don't see that happening in the near future, possibly only in a month or so from now.
 
That's true, I also wondered if BF4 was really the best platform to show off Mantle considering the bugs but I guess they kinda had no choice since it's been hyped for ages.

I also saw an improvement but i got stuttering every now and then not permanent but it's annoying so i went back to DX11. But Joker maybe you can give me advice or tell me what the issue might be my card is a R9 270x O.C and my cpu is a i5 2320 quad and i have 8gb of 1600 ram. do i have an issue somewhere or is all that fine?

Was debating whether to download the 14.1 beta drivers and use them but I guess this settles it, will wait for WHQL mantle drivers, seems there are too many issues at the moment.

That should be fine, what I will say is that BF4 actually loves faster ram, For instance if you run 2400 ram over 1600 ram you should see an extra 10fps or so, not sure if the price of upgrading is worth it though for you. Other than that your rig looks fine.

I miss the days when Rush was the most popular game mode (BC2 days really)
Click to expand...

It still is pretty popular, BFBC2 was just done right when it came to Rush. The maps were designed for Rush and adapted for Conquest. They shouldn't have stopped using that method.

Weird, I know 4 people on nVidia incl. myself who've had no issues at all. Think it's something else.
