Know exactly what you saying. It feels like a REAL shooter his time. BF3 was very watered down in my opinion. It just didn't have any depth in the feel of the game. And the maps were super disappointing. BF4's maps are going to epic if they're all like Siege of Shangai. Much more elevation etc and cool map features like the shutters and those pole thingies you can raise on the bridges.

Can't wait to see what the other maps are going to be like! :D

I was playing on Paracel Storm, and I'll tell you now, that map is epic :epic:!!!
 
Played BF4 on PS3 last night. Not as ground breaking as bf3. Also, I know its a beta but there was a complete lack of textures on the map. Just loads of smooth grey blocks.

Cool dude, just don't be discouraged by the framerate issues and the MWEB lag failz. Maybe you're one of the lucky people that have no issues with the game. :D

Are you talking about the conquest map, after it gets dusty then that big building falls? :P

Or actually textures not loading?
 
Have only played on conquest so far. The scale is epic. The area, the heights. Awesome.
 
Apparently the consoles are not doing that well gfx wise on bf4, textures are bad, there is no comparison between pc and console atmm. Pc is light years ahead. Just go look on the forums and all the complaints. They say the map is dull and too much smoke. There are comparison screen shots all over the web and I must admit it looks terrible on console. Maybe the new consoles will fix that.

I have to say I am impressed , besides the server Lag a bit on the JHB servers , the game itself is awesome .
That building falling that was an awesome sight .
I'm not liking recon though it just seems off to me ,but assault is cool .Not sure what to make of the commander mode yet , because all the guys I have played with seem to run around like headless chickens doing their own things.

Come to think of it, it could be dust but its like that before the building falls too. I must take note if I play it again.

Yeah don't worry, totally get its a beta. I have already purchased it anyway.

Ja man, i dont like the "colours" at all, more like grey scale. I just dont like the look of it, similar to COD:MW. I much prefer the blue of BF3, or the darker colours of COD:BO. This could be because there aren't any real texture packs and stuff in the beta.

There's really funky bugs though....often some enemies are invisible in the rubble of B, like when objects are far away they aren't rendered, except this time they're right in front of you.

The tank shell splash damage is very small. Also if you try to shoot through a gap or close to a wall it doesn't go though and seems to do nothing.

There's virtually no time to revive anyone. They have to have died almost right next to you to be able to get there and revive in time.

And really hope the actual release is better. Unfortunately conquest on the 360 is really boring too, domination is better.

Yeah you should check that out because the first time I played the conquest map I was wondering why everything was so grey and without textures. Of course I dropped into a round where the building already fell, so the next round I caught on :D. Maybe it was just a bug where the textures didn't load correctly and it was grey from the start of the next round. Life in BF4 beta is like a box of chocolates.

Good. I saw a whole bunch of okes going "This game is shit and buggy" and "I'll never buy this, it's so broken" etc and I was just like :rolleyes:

Didn't notice anything strange about the colours, hmm.. Maybe you should adjust the digital vibrancy of your GPU :P

It becomes very grey once that building falls in the map, but that's about it hey. On the other hand, I tend to think that BF3's colours we're dull as hell and the maps really didn't have that much detail when compared to BF4. But then again, this IS the beta and I'm sure the final build is way ahead. It's going to look 10 times better in the full game. Just like what happened with the BF3 beta.

It's very much buggy at the moment, but hey, beta times :p. I saw the famous camel-neck bug again the other night. Some oke's neck was stretching up and down as he ran. Haha, kark funny!

I still can't play :(. Hanging on the loading screen from day 1 that the beta launched. Played the Alpha though and I would like to compare how they improved.

Jy sal maar moet wag vir die release version bru! :<

The beta is dependent on luck. It works, barely works or doesn't work at all. No use in going bos, reinstalling windows, new drivers etc just for the beta. At least the game's coming out very soon \:D/

How long does the level take to load for you guys? Takes longer than BF3 for me.
 
The game is AWESOME. It feels sooo much better than battlefield 3 did.
Feels so much more squad and team based than 3 was. Really a big step up from 3.

Having said that some issues:
The majority of South African battlefield gamers seem have no clue what teamwork means. The majority seem content to camp on the roof of buildings and try and shoot stuff... While the opposing team controls the objectives. This makes winning any game an uphill battle.
However, when BOTH teams actually play the objectives and only use the roof tops to prevent the opposing from taking back ground lost it really is EPIC win :D.

The light machine guns are AWFUL. You literally have to be standing still to hit anything. And even if you do hit someone... you have to empty the clip to make they are dead cos the LMGs do so little damage (if you hit them anywhere but in the head).

The addition of the Designated marksman rifles is awesome; however, I hope they don't plan on releasing red dot sights for these weapons. They feel significantly more powerful than the other guns and having only an iron sight for close range encounters seems like a fair trade to prevent everyone just equipping these.
