Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 01, 2013, 06:57:39 pm i've been reading good things about it. choppers are no longer unstoppable raep machines, engineers are really important, suppression isn't like rubbing vaseline in your eyes and recons can now contribute to the damn team since they have access to carbines.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Kreater on October 01, 2013, 07:01:57 pm I wanna play. :(
I also heard that the controllers aren't customizable. LAAAAAAAAAME! Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 01, 2013, 07:07:01 pm Can you check the PS Store for me right quick. I'm not at my PS3 right now. It's supposedly available to Premium members too. Thanks
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 01, 2013, 07:07:31 pm Oh and it's supposedly available when the PS Store updates but then why were people already playing it...
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 01, 2013, 07:17:16 pm It should be available now. Ima check when I get home from the gym.

Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 01, 2013, 10:02:32 pm yeah they changed a few things so it feels a little bit weird to control, but i don't think it's anything too hard to get used to. i was talking with crzy on psn and he really hates the flying controls. they put acceleration and deceleration on the same stick as left and right turn or something. it's kind of the same with driving controls too. you gotta press forward on left stick to drive forward and then turn left of right using the same stick, I think. Kinda weird.
K, you'll be happy to know that the aiming feels good. at least it did too men. it doesn't feel super floaty like in bf3. i've only played a little bit because i had to work out as well, but from what i got to play, i think the game is really good. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 01, 2013, 10:21:55 pm So spot is R2 now.. Could be nice.

Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 01, 2013, 11:42:54 pm wait, when the hell did i write that "too men" thing? i don't remember writing that??? man im really tired.
anyway, guys, you cannot play this game running and gunning. this **** takes some actual squad tactics. when you start capping a flag, you better have a person watching every damn corner. if you get wiped, you get penalized in a way because you lose position (and it can take a while to get back to a position in this game) and then you also lose perkbar progress. you really gotta play smart here. this actually plays out differently from BF3 and especially BC2. I really like this game. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 02, 2013, 11:28:45 am where the hell is this thing I can't find it
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 02, 2013, 11:35:50 am duh nm I just read the article
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 02, 2013, 11:44:45 am anyway, guys, you cannot play this game running and gunning. this **** takes some actual squad tactics. <3Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 02, 2013, 12:59:50 pm I'll just be playing this on friday when its open to the public
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 02, 2013, 06:49:07 pm It kind of feels like the damage at range has been increased. I've been knocking people out pretty quick at range. At close quarters it feels more or less the same as BF3, which I'm okay with too.
Support guns are a lot more accurate now. I feel badass with the lmg's downing an entire squad like it's nothing. Tank and jeep lmg's have gotten a serious buff. In BF3 they were like bb guns but now they cut through **** real quick. You down people so easily now and it's badass. The RPG now reloads a looot faster and travels straighter. I think that's because it's speed has increased. Easy as fawk to knock a chopper right out of the sky. I'm diggin the hell outta this game. Can't wait for 64 player pc. Oh and Levelution is pretty damn awesome. The building coming down is actually pretty cool to watch. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 02, 2013, 09:00:16 pm what modes are available for the beta?
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 02, 2013, 09:24:38 pm well basically it's just conquest. they have another mode called domination but it's just basically conquest on a small map. not quite as small as conquest-domination from BF3 (which were all CoD-sized maps) but the maps are much smaller than regular conquest. You find action a lot more easily, that's for sure.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 03, 2013, 12:08:13 am Aghhh I'm so jealous.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 03, 2013, 09:57:15 am I finally got this thing downloaded and installed last night, but I had work to do. I'll try to get on tonight.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 03, 2013, 10:00:11 pm Aghhh I'm so jealous. Why jealous, m8? I finally got this thing downloaded and installed last night, but I had work to do. I'll try to get on tonight. That's too bad Jd. Hopefully you guys can play this weekend. I am seriously enjoying the gunplay in BF4 and I want to try out the new Domination mode with a squad of 5 of us. It's an infantry gametype so no vehicles. I think it's only 20 players but the maps are small-medium so you find a lot of action. Anyway, the gunplay is a lot better, like I said. I think that the guns here don't have a random cone of fire meaning that as you fire the bullets will go out randomly. It's all based on recoil and the better you control the recoil, the more accurate you are. What you point at gets hit. Also I really like that the medics have to charge their defibs now so there's no endless med trains or a lot of Rambo reviving. If you're going to revive someone yourself, you better make damn sure that you're clear to do it because it's going to take you a second and even then it's hard to run up to someone and then run back. Movement is a little bit heavier than BF3. Not the stone-footed soldiers of BC2, but definitely not the soldiers on ice skates like BF3. Can't say enough good things about this game. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 03, 2013, 11:16:51 pm I thought the beta was only for premium subscribers. So it isn't?
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 03, 2013, 11:21:00 pm I thought the beta was only for premium subscribers. So it isn't? Well, Premium members and people who actually bought MoH: Warfighter (lol) get EARLY ACCESS. It's going to go fully open pretty soon. I think maybe tomorrow actually, but I'm not at all sure. You'll definitely get to play this man. Hit me up when it goes full public. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 03, 2013, 11:23:18 pm You can get it tomorrow and possibly at midnight if you just search it if its not in the store, another trick is to make a psn account from a different county, I have done this to get stuff early
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 03, 2013, 11:26:57 pm Are you going to download it, Dave? Hit me up.
So far I've only played with Crzy. Lakkus almost played with me but he's just a huge jerk who never replies or joins my invites and if he does, he leaves after two minutes. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 03, 2013, 11:28:55 pm Ya I will let you know , it will be be later in the day for me because the sun came out and it will be my only chance to get some yard work done. Man I went on my India PSN account to see if they had it yet, there ps plus is giving away far cry 3 for free, those bastards
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 03, 2013, 11:36:29 pm Alright, I'm available at around 4 central all the way until Sunday night at 10pm.
That's actually pretty crazy. I seems like other places get better deals than we do sometimes. Maybe Sony does better business in Europe and Asia than here in the U.S so they put together better deals there. I heard Far Cry 3 campaign was pretty good. The bad guy was supposedly some kind of badass voice actor or some ****. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 03, 2013, 11:48:32 pm Sweet. I'll probably be on GTA most of my time so if you guys get on send me an invite.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 04, 2013, 11:41:21 am I'm reading that it will be available at 11 am pac time 2 east
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 04, 2013, 01:29:06 pm Its available now
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Oomomo953 on October 04, 2013, 03:20:15 pm 8) I'm going to download it.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 05:43:17 pm man im shocked actually this game is pretty dam good imo idk what they did but i love the feel of the game way more then bf3. It has more of a bfbc2 feel to it. Also im having problems joining games etc or trying to join friend. I hit ps3 button and it just sits there in frozen mode **** lame. PsFreeze
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 05:51:25 pm actually dude, they let you use Battlelog right from the game. Just hit the "select" button and it brings up the Battlelog menu. From there just highlight the person you want to join and then hit "X". It's super easy and so much faster than waiting for the menu to pop up when you use the "PS" button on the controller.
But yeah man, this game feels a lot better. You should play Domination. I think you'll like it more since it's a smaller map and infantry only. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 06:17:38 pm ill be on all day had to get off cause of internet problems charter guy installing neighbors setup so it humps up mine
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 07:21:24 pm wow i freeze everytime i get to the menu for the next game ****
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 07:28:44 pm yeah i froze a couple of times myself. i think if you're looking through the menus or pressing any buttons, it doesn't have like enough memory to process everthing and freezes. that's my best guess at least.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 07:30:10 pm the game is pretty dam fun though im enjoying it i just unlocked the scar
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 07:40:59 pm i can't decide which one i like better dude. the ak5 has a lot more bullets in the mag and fires faster BUT the scar hits like a fawking truck. I think for this beta map the ak5 is better but on the larger conquest map, if you play from far away, the scar is better. that gun hits like hell at long range but the bad part is that it has 20 bullets in a mag.
oh and also the pistols sound a lot more powerful. heck, all the guns sound a lot more powerful and i really like it. i'm about to get on Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 08:01:34 pm have you noticed when you reload you lose all the bullets you had left in that mag relealistic but annoying lol
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 04, 2013, 08:23:11 pm games dope, runs pretty damn well for a beta, man I haven'tplayed an fps in like forever,what a rush
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 08:29:59 pm ya i like it its pretty good **** trying to make a party though
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 04, 2013, 08:39:17 pm I'll be back playing in an hour or so
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 08:51:05 pm i froze again if you hit any buttons fast when you pull the menu up your ****
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 08:57:15 pm yeah red, I noticed the bullet thing. it makes it super important to have a good support now. before support was a **** class but now the guns are a lot more accurate and is really important to give people ammo. the guns still feel a little weak to be honest but it's still a much bigger improvement from bf3, especially hipfire.
and yeah, don't hit any buttons or do anything in the menus during the respawn. i guess the game can't process everything and gets stuck when it gets too many comands. dave, sorry we didn't play much. like red said, it's a bit of a **** to get in a squad right now. as soon as you see me join a game, hit "select" to bring up battlelog and then highlight my name (or red's) and press join. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 09:00:12 pm the game is faster then bf3 i bet rush would be fun as **** on this one
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 09:08:25 pm naw, I don't think you ever played conquest-domination in bf3. that was fast as hell right there. this is a little bit slower. i think i'm going to like domination in this game sometimes but you're right, i really want to play rush.
unfortunately, i'm going to be playing on the pc :'( Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 04, 2013, 09:13:05 pm :'( im not even sure if i can afford it im poor as **** atm
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 04, 2013, 09:21:29 pm afford a pc, a ps4 or the game? if you want to get the game, I suggest eating out less every day for lunch. this whole week i didn't eat out and just took a thing of ham, a loaf of bread and some salad mix and kept it at my desk/fridge in my office. at that all week with some doritos and water. had a good ass lunch and spent no money. saved at least 30 dollars.
do that for 3 weeks and boom, you got youself money for the game. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 04, 2013, 09:47:29 pm they are making this for the ps4 as well right? I don't want to waste money on the ps3 version
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Oomomo953 on October 05, 2013, 12:10:51 pm ggs last night dave.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 12:21:29 pm u2, I ended up rage quitting ,some how after i parachuted off that building my ak got put on single shot and I started getting owned hard and for the life of me I couldn't get it back on auto, I got pist and left before my I started cussing in front of my daughter
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 01:57:43 pm u2, I ended up rage quitting ,some how after i parachuted off that building my ak got put on single shot and I started getting owned hard and for the life of me I couldn't get it back on auto, I got pist and left before my I started cussing in front of my daughter oh lol. yeah you have to push up on the digital pad to select fire mode. single shot mode is when you're at long distance and using full auto makes you too inaccurate for hitting people far away. yeah, they really need to fix the spaws for release. i'll spawn at our area and 5 seconds later our area becomes their spawn area and i get gang raipt by 5 dudes. I just raged myself because of that. It's kind of the reason why i liked battlefield over cod though and this reminds me of that. battlefield has always been about open maps and squad tactics. this is just running around trying to kill people. It's fun but it's too much CoD-like. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 02:09:46 pm Oh and Oom, I forgot to accept your FR. I deleted you because we never play anything. I'm very like that
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 02:15:30 pm conquest feels more like bf dom on this is basically cod lol its still fun though the map they released for beta is mad small in dom the medic and eng class are the only ones worth using. unless your snipng on top of that building.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 03:01:24 pm I do like the map,I'm going to go get some taco bell to try to win a ps4, my job is on hold for awhile which sucks so I got to start being a tight wad
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 03:05:20 pm im going to jack n the box get 2 chicken pitas and like idk 6 tacos
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 03:17:43 pm LOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UPE9SogNIc Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 03:18:27 pm ya those 2 for a dollar tacos are good, I don't know what kind of so called meat that is but **** it I love the crunch
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 03:18:49 pm yeah what's really pissing me off right now too is that a lot of new people started playing BF3 2 years ago and never learned what the **** the different kits are and what they're used for. You still have a lot of morons running around as Assaults and can't offer up a medpack or revive. I know there's a lot of low levels right now that don't have their defibs but damn, I'm sure a few here and there do but don't know wtf it is or what to do.
but yeah, conquest is good ol' battlefield. I want to play that mode more but it's just too empty with 24 players only. Also keep in mind that those 24 people are still learning the ins and outs of the map and new game so it makes things even slower. It should be a totally different story on PC/PS4 where there's fawkin 64 people running around. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 03:22:28 pm also im going to whataburger to get like a hamburger with 3 meats and large fries. i just thought we were comparing diets or some **** but i remember that taco bell is giving away ps4's right now so that's why dave said it. oh i get it now lol
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 03:26:15 pm lmao@ that vid
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 06:22:06 pm ill be on later tonight tcu and oklahoma game about to start
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 06:33:48 pm Yeah, sorry I quit again. I just had to take care of something right now. It didn't take long but it put me in such a sour mood man. It sucked out of me all the will I had to play vidya instantly.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 06:50:09 pm someone go to wu chat im bored lol
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 07:09:12 pm FAwk that man. Post here more. We need the activity.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 07:11:38 pm im doing sum curls for tha gurlz. about to eat 2 bags of trail mix after
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 07:14:02 pm man, i should probably do some too. I didn't do anything last night and i was supposed to.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 08:02:07 pm watch tv and do concentration curls while your watching you can just sit down and do them. Switch between regular curls and hammer curls too. Have like 3 dumbells sitting there do the lightest one first then the medium one and the heavyiest without much rest maybe 10 seconds. after all 3 sets done wait about a min start again but start with the heaviest and go down the rest of the way. 6 sets of curls done in about 3 min.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 08:06:54 pm that reminds me. i was going to ask you what the difference is between doing barbel and dumbell curls? I got two 30's here and I can curl them individually but when i put 30 lbs on both sides of the bar, I can't lift it anymore. WTF. Am I doing the dumbell curls wrong or something?
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 08:17:16 pm with any exercise when you change it up your body isn't use to the movement. It could also be the bar adding more weight. a regular staightbar is 15pounds, a ez curl bar is 18 pounds and a Olympic bar is 45 pounds.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 08:21:08 pm oh ****, i forgot to account for the bar. i'm not sure how much it weighs actually. it's not a regular bar that you'd find at the gym either. i got a little bench with only 110 lbs or so and the bar isn't really big. i guess i'll have to find out how much it weighs
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 08:25:15 pm link a pic its prob the 15 pounder
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 08:33:25 pm it probably is. i don't have a picture with me at the moment but i measured it and it's a 1' diameter bar. i'll probably go get it measured to make sure.
anyway, i would prefer if it was a thicker bar. i heard thicker bars help increase your grip strength a lot more Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 08:34:48 pm doesn't matter the weight on curls matters about the form, if using dumbbells lock your elbows on your sides keep your back up against a wall, hold them by your side with your thumbs facing forward, slowly curl one side up slowly twisting your wrist trying to bump your fingernails into your chest, slower lower it down then do the other side, repeat.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 08:37:08 pm oh okay. then i must be throwing the dumbells up a little bit then. i'm going to go check right now
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 08:45:44 pm well i just checked and it turns out i CAN do them both ways. i guess i couldn't the other day because of muscle fatigue or some ****. going to do one more workout with 30's and then hopefully move up to 40's. i used to work out a loooong time ago and i was using 40's to work out. i want to get up to 50lb curl
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 08:47:56 pm doesn't matter the weight on curls matters about the form, if using dumbbells lock your elbows on your sides keep your back up against a wall, hold them by your side with your thumbs facing forward, slowly curl one side up slowly twisting your wrist trying to bump your fingernails into your chest, slower lower it down then do the other side, repeat. Great info. I like to put back against the wall and do ezbar curls and go slow on the negatives. Also geting on your knees and doing curls that way minimizes cheating and makes the rep harder too. After working about about 2 years ive noticed biceps are my genetic weak point its kind of lame but whatever ,for alot of people its calves it seems.

Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 08:57:38 pm that gap between your bicep and your elbow joint that you have when you flex, to fill that better in you do this, if you have a bench you can incline you incline it a few clicks up, then lay on your stomach and most likely you have to have somebody hand you the dumbbells and then you just curl up
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 08:59:09 pm ya pretty much when your tall you have to add more muscle mass then a shorter guy to fill out your body more to make you even look like you lift lol. Also when doing **** like bench its harder cause you have to go down more etc where a short guy like 5
5 or whatever can lift more cause they going down less on the reps. Easier for them to keep advancing on strength etc. But aesthetically imo someone taller with some muscle looks better. Ive been working my shoulders/traps a **** load and lats to get that v taper look atm its filling the shirts and overall makes you look better. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 09:03:21 pm that gap between your bicep and your elbow joint that you have when you flex, to fill that better in you do this, if you have a bench you can incline you incline it a few clicks up, then lay on your stomach and most likely you have to have somebody hand you the dumbbells and then you just curl up oh **** why didn't i think of that lol. Great info again O0 I have narrow biceps they are defined and look pretty decent size wise but that narrow **** is annoying. Ive been doing alot of heavy hammer curls to try and add some girth. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 05, 2013, 09:05:01 pm use a straight bar, hold with a wider grip to hit the outer bicep hold narrow grip to hit the inner
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 09:12:48 pm you're right about the aethetics. short guys never look good when they're all muscular and ****. that's why i don't want to focus on size. i'd rather have muscles that are very strong for their size.
anyway, i gotta do something or play this game or some ****. i'm pretty bored at the moment and when i get bored i start eating. im eating a **** donut right now Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 09:26:28 pm hmm i guess i should ditch the ez bar then. Ill start using the bench bar and go far for outer i use to use the ez bar exclusively for the longest time (ONO). Northwestern beating ohio state good **** **** ohio state.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 09:58:07 pm how the hell they forget the party option lol
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 05, 2013, 10:07:18 pm i froze again god dam that **** annoying
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 10:21:25 pm i dunno man. apparently DICE has something against making it easy to joni a party. it's weird. it went from bc2 being sper easy to make a squad and just join a game together, then bf3 split you up but at least you got into the same game and now bf4 left the option out completely. wtf. the final version will have it though.
and yeah, i **** hate freezing. every time it's loading up the next map, i just set the controller aside to make sure i don't hit anything and blow the ps3 up. even then it still freezes. good games though. im really liking the type-88 lmg. tap fire that **** and you'll get headshots all dey erry dey Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 05, 2013, 10:26:34 pm Downloaded the beta. I played for all of 5 minutes before I quit and deleted it from my PS3.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 05, 2013, 10:28:44 pm why is that?
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 06, 2013, 06:35:20 pm It was terrible. The textures look like they were meant to be seen from across the map, and the gameplay was just bleh. The biggest thing for me was the increased recoil. But there were other things like friendlies not having a blue triangle, spotting is even less incentivized than ever, support items like ammo packs are hard to get the hang of.. It just wasn't fun.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 06, 2013, 07:49:21 pm well to each his own. i do have to disagree with you on the increased recoil. If anything it's a lot easier to manage, especially the support lmgs. as for the support ammo, well, not a lot of people have unlocked it yet. Regardless, it is a bit of headache. I'm sure that it'll be remedied once people play a few hours in the final release.
Can't really criticize the graphics either. PS3 is really old and outdated tech and BF4 is one of the most technically advanced games yet. But again, it's all good man. If it's just not your cup of tea, then i'll just invite you to a soda the next time. O0 Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Red Fatality on October 06, 2013, 08:58:09 pm the recoil was alot less imo bf3 the **** was all over the place
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 06, 2013, 09:24:42 pm I actually like recoil in games, makes it more realistic and harder to get good at
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: JabbaScrub on October 06, 2013, 11:25:32 pm It's really just the combination of all those things. Anyway I'm sure I'll get it on PC whenever I save up enough for one.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 08, 2013, 11:26:19 am they are making this for the ps4 as well right? I don't want to waste money on the ps3 version You can buy the PS3 version, and then upgrade for $10 if you get a PS4. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 08, 2013, 11:39:02 am Also, I'm enjoying this so far- when I get a chance to play it. As for the textures being horrible (jabba), it's obvious that they didn't release the fully-rendered code. That's why some of the objects in the distance (non-scoped) aren't visible until you get closer.
Besides the freezing and rendering limitations, I like this game and will probably get it for PS3. The only thing that annoyed me is the reconfiguration of the buttons. Hopefully they'll allow you to customize this in the real release. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 08, 2013, 12:03:19 pm thank you

That's why some of the objects in the distance (non-scoped) aren't visible until you get closer. I'm not too confident in that. BF3 for PS3 honestly didn't look much better than this, and if EA has learned anything from releasing a beta it's beta = demo. I doubt they released an actual WIP beta knowing casuals will treat it as a demo and decide not to purchase because of that.Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 08, 2013, 05:56:58 pm There were a lot of code bugs in the BF3 beta that weren't in the release version (e.g. swimming under the ground). I think these betas are to test how their engine is affected by online traffic. I could be wrong. :-\
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 08, 2013, 06:57:37 pm I actually like recoil in games, makes it more realistic and harder to get good at I completely agree. I really like that BF3 had a lot of recoil and I like it about this game too. There were a lot of code bugs in the BF3 beta that weren't in the release version (e.g. swimming under the ground). I think these betas are to test how their engine is affected by online traffic. I could be wrong. :-\ Yeah, that's the official reason they give us but Jabba is right in that it's a demo because casuals don't understand the concept of a beta. The thing is that this beta actually runs pretty damn smooth in my opinion. It is lacking some stuff and it does freeze quite a bit, but compared to the BF3 beta, this is really smooth. And again, you're right about the final bf3 release didn't have a lot of bugs that were in the beta. I don't really think graphics will improve much but I'm okay with how it looks on the PS3. Honestly, the machine is tapped out so you're not going to get anything more out of it. In any case, what we are playing now is not the final build. A little while back a bunch of Youtubers were invited to play a build that was further along than this one. We have an older build because Microsoft and Sony require certification and that takes a while.

I think these betas are to test how their engine is affected by online traffic. I could be wrong. :-\ I think that's the only reason they release a beta at all. It might stir up a little hype but traffic is the main thing. I don't know if that's what caused those glitches. I really hope so, because how the hell could they miss those bugs..Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Crzy on October 09, 2013, 12:42:07 pm I think that's one of the main reasons they even bother with a beta...what good is destruction and new gameplay tweaks, if people are falling through the map or the system crashes constantly. I know people think "Oh it's only 1 month away from the real release, they can't change anything" but what LT says is true...this build honestly looks like a pre-E3 build TBH.
PS3's version doesn't even have all the skyscraper interior on the Rooftop B Flag like you see in every other E3 gameplay. I know most E3 footage is PC and PS4 but you can't tell me the PS3 can't handle some chairs, counters, and tables. >.> Not to mention the textures with the dust looking like Wii graphics. For what the beta is, it's pretty good on PS3. The hit detection is pretty spot on, gameplay seems to go smooth, no real game-breaking glitches, and it handles the tower destruction pretty well. Still don't understand their control changing choices or how the Scout choppers don't damage Tanks anymore, but ah well...I'm sure that'll be different on the REAL version for PS4. :P Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 09, 2013, 06:14:11 pm I'm sure that'll be different on the REAL version for PS4. :P PS4. :P >_> I wish you guys would take the plunge and build a pc too. It's a tall order to ask but I think it'll be the best platform going forward. I'm still getting a PS4 actually, but that won't be for at least a year. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 09, 2013, 06:31:10 pm Hey guys, apparently the new mode Obliteration is available to play on consoles too. Anyone want to squad up for that? It looks really fun.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 09, 2013, 09:52:34 pm I'm up for it. O0
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 10, 2013, 06:00:37 pm I'm up for it. O0 Awesome man. Let me know when you're available. I hear it's pretty chaotic. 2 full teams chasing after one guy with a bomb does sound pretty action packed. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 11, 2013, 11:26:22 pm how do you get Obliteration?
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 12:18:51 am uhhhh, you know what, I don't know actually. I haven't been on to play in a couple of days so I haven't downloaded it or anything. I'll get on right now and check. It might be that it's just Premium or it might even be that I was totally wrong and it's only PC that can play Obliteration.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 12:55:31 am okay, i played obliteration and it's super fun. basically each team gets three mcoms total and a bomb spawns in the center of the map. when it spaws both teams rush to pick it up. one person runs it to the enemy's mcom, plants and destroys it. first team to destroy all the enemy's mcoms wins.
**** is happening all over the place. it's not an infantry only mode so vehicles are driving and flying by all over the damn place and both teams are either hunting down or trying to protect one **** guy. another thing that makes it tough is that enemies can spawn in through paradrop so they can easily just float in behind you and flank faster than you can run through the map. Good tank drivers will pick you up and let you be in the gunner seat while they charge to the enemy side. fun as hell. we gotta play guys Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 12:58:54 am oh and dave, i didn't have to download anything. it was just kind of there and i could join. didn't see anything about premium either. when you're in game server menu, press either L or R 3 and it'll let you setup the filter. You can choose what gametypes to filter in or out. If you see Obliteration and it's not x'd out or checked, then mark it and then back out to the server menu. You should be able to see Obliteration mode in the server descriptions.
let me know if you have any problems. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 12, 2013, 01:06:54 am k thanks
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 06:13:54 pm were you able to figure it out, dave? i just played a couple of rounds. pretty fun stuff. it's a blast running a serpentine line while you hear sniper bullets ricochet off the road and seeing 5 dudes with machine guns blaring away as a squad mate drives next to you with a jeep, you jump in and take off in between a volley of shells from the 2 tanks trying to block your path and a helicopter hovering above you with the gunner at the minigun tearing away at the truck.
it's **** epic. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 12, 2013, 09:47:12 pm awesome mode LT, I have to do a few things for my daughter and make some coffee, if you are going to be on in about an hour I'd like to play for a few hours, I like that mode alot
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 12, 2013, 09:57:28 pm also is there a counter melee move because I swear I went through the motion of about to knife somebody and then the animation changed into them knifing me
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 10:45:07 pm yeah there's a counter melee when you melee from the front. if you go up to someone from the front and use the knife, they have like a second to press R3 or L3 and counter your knife. If you knife from the back there is no counter.
comes in handy and it's pretty bad ass. you block the knife, punch them in the face, twist their hand and jam their own knife into them. be careful if you're going for a knife from the front and be quick if someone tries it on you. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 12, 2013, 10:48:18 pm also this mode can be frustrating as **** if your squad wipes out. then you have to parachute in and it takes a while. i like it too though
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Permanent Poopface on October 13, 2013, 01:00:53 am gg's LT, after you got stuck in loading my ps3 froze, I think I'm gonna watch the last few episodes of the following.
Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 13, 2013, 01:08:41 am alright man. yeah ggs. you did pretty damn well for a guy who hasn't really played battlefield. i think once you get used to the spawning and how to spawn on vehicles and teammates you'll get into the action a lot faster. i kept spawning in the truck and picked up the dude with the bomb so i was always near by.
i know it's kind of a pain to watch a dude get picked up and taken away while you gotta huff and puff all the way across the damn map. Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: jd111 on October 15, 2013, 04:09:23 pm IT'S OVER?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo.........
:-[ Title: Re: BF4 open beta Post by: Laughing Turd on October 15, 2013, 04:29:25 pm yeah bro, it's over. which kind of upset me because i'm all happy because i got my pc finished up yesterday. i go to download the beta and it tells me it's over. oh well. i guess the full release is only a few days away now. |
