Battlefield 4

Idk about that. I think, regardless of all the issues right now or how casually you plan on playing it, you're really missing out on the true BF experience by playing on 360/PS3. Get it for PC, it's really worth it honestly.

Can't even get the true BF experience right now with the screen blurring every 2 seconds and it crashing every other match.

And when it's fixed? Sorry, I'll stick to anything but 360/PS3. Been there done that, worst $60 I've ever dropped.

DDOS attack confirmed against the PC version

Battlefield 4 players hoping for some multiplayer matches on PC this weekend found themselves frustrated by server issues – the result of nefarious activity.

Prior to its replacement with a PS4 news post, the Battlelog main page contained a message confirming ongoing issues with PC servers.

“We are currently experiencing attacks on our infrastructure that is impacting online gameplay on BF4 PC. We are working on mitigating actions,” DICE wrote, as reported by Kotaku.

In a post on the Battlefield forums, DICE’s Ali Hassoon confirmed the nature of the attacks.

“We are being targeted by a DDOS, but working on fixing it ASAP. I’m sorry somebody is ruining your and my day. Rest assured we are doing our best to mitigate the situation though,” he said.

No I agree that PC is better than consoles but it also currently has way more issues.

Agreed on the bugs. And I'm mainly talking 360/PS3. I actually got Bf3 for PS3 to try and play with a few rl buds some months ago (before it was free on PS+) and I just couldn't make the shift from all the perks PC offered.

Now that PS4/X1 offer all the perks PC does people will enjoy the game it was meant to be played.

Ok, I'm consistently coming in top 2 on my team now, but I am still kinda clueless about some things.

What does it mean when I get "Scar Battle Pack"? A lot of the time, I run out of bullets. Is this how I can get more instead of having to switch to a pistol?

Battle packs are awarded for reaching certain levels and for getting an X amount of kills for certain weapons.

Open the menu in the game, click battle packs and open whichever ones aren't open.

The battle packs awarded for gaining levels give you random attachments for random weapons as well as XP boosts and emblem pictures to use with the emblem creator.

Battle packs awarded for getting kills with certain weapons award you with attachments for that specific weapon as well as XP boosts and emblems for the creator.

Was deep in to campaign on PS4 when it crashed. Crashes every time on startup now. Reinstalled and it fixed it for about 5 minutes before it did it again. Got a message from Origin stating there's stability issues with the PS4 version and a patch is expected next week. Lot's of problems it seems with BF4 no matter what way you try to turn

You get a weapon pack every 100 kills iirc, which have an exp bonus and Attachments

Battlefield YouTube personality LevelCapGaming, who has had a few hours of hands-on time with Battlefield 4‘s upcoming Second Assault expansion during a recent press event, is answering questions about the DLC via a posting on Reddit.

“So I just spent a few hours playing the 4 new second assault maps,” he writes. “Metro, Oman, Caspian and Firestorm. Metro looks great, with new paths, fire that spreads through the grass outside and the ability to kill the lights. Oman looks very similar except the beach is now super rocky providing good cover and the sand storm is crazy! Caspian’s new wall makes a big difference in the flow of vehicular combat. Firestorm is extremely fiery now. Lots of gas leaks that will kill people standing too close.”

He went on to answer a few questions about the DLC, revealing some of the key differences between the original Battlefield 3 maps and their newly reimagined Battlefield 4 variations.
Q: What are the vehicles on Oman? And does the US still spawn on the carrier? Oman was my fav map of all time so im super excited!!!A: There is still a carrier. Once the sandstorm starts you can’t even see it. Vehicles look the same as before, helicopters, jets, tanks, etc. Skid loader is back with vengeance. That thing has a crazy top speed now and you can operate the shovel. Skid loader = OP

Q: How is Metro now, is it more like OP Locker with more paths that prevents choke points (at least in 32p version of the map) or is it still the same clusterf*ck?

A: It will play very much like the old metro. But has a few more sneaky paths. Also the elevators work but none of this will change that good old clusterf*ck feeling of metro.

Q: Is Conquest on Metro still 3 flags? Or did they add another flag in the park area?

A: 3 flags on conquest. Also they blocked off some of the paths so it gets more narrow on conquest.

Q: Whats the Levolution event on each map?

A: So massive tower on caspian is a really cool event. Creates a bridge up to the D point area as we’ll. Oman is the sandstorm and I believe you can bring a crane down. I think metro is smaller levolution stuff like bringing down the ceiling. Firestorm you can destroy the giant pipeline creating a fiery hazard. I didn’t get to see it.

Q: Did the flag placement change? Are there any additional buildings on Oman. Is metro still the one tunnel only or can you go outside? What are the new assignments? Would be sweet if you could answer some.

A: Oman looks very similar buildings are almost identical with small changes. I didn’t see it but apparently you can bring down one of the construction cranes.

We’ll update this post if any further interesting comments arise. Be sure to stay tuned to MP1st tomorrow where we’ll have a round-up of Second Assault footage right here. There’s also a Second Assault live stream to keep an eye on with developers DICE LA.

Battlefield 4 Second Assault launches on the Xbox One first this Friday, November 22.

What? Can't stabilize our 1.0 version of the game? Better add DLC!!!

Because FPS DLC is so hard to engineer? Reusing existing maps and tweaking them for a new engine wouldn't be that time consuming

After the PS4 patch that went out yesterday, I fired it up on the off chance it would fix the stability issues and I was able to play for about 20 minutes before I had to go to work. Hoping that the patch solved the stability issues and it won't crash every 5 minutes like it did a few days ago.

I hope that's the case. The game was damn near unplayable.
