The funny thing is it really isn't that much of an exaggeration of the 10 minutes between their responses.

It took them 2 hours on chat with me and we didn't get a resolution. He told me he was sending it to esculation, which took a week and a half to get back in touch with me, just to tell me I was SOL.

Not surprised. Origin support is terribad.

Click on the Premium tab upper right - does it say I have it as a friend?

I like this game quite a bit, and I think Premium would be a pretty good investment. (It's a particularly good deal since my son and I both play this. He wouldn't get any of the battlepacks or anything, but at least he would have access to the maps). Am I correct that the BF3 DLC was generally well-received?

I'm not sure how premium works for multiple accounts on the same xbox. May want to confirm that.

For the most part, the DLC that came with premium was good. The only exception was the close quarters DLC, which was just a garbage COD rip off. However, it came with a bunch of assignments and some good weapon unlocks.

Of the other 12 maps or so (Armored Kill, Aftermath and End Game) there was only one "bad" map. (Alborz mountain). A few of the others weren't great (mostly because the armored kill maps were too big IMO) but all were playable and brought unique stuff to the game.

I just wish they weren't charging for the 2nd assault DLC. I just played those maps for 500 hours in Bf3. I don't need to see them again.

Premium comes with other fringe benefits (most of which is useless) but you're really just paying for the maps and some other perks like 2x XP weekends, battle packs and extra assignments to complete.

Got the new rig up and installing Windows now. Sli 670's, 2 ssd's, 1 velociraptor hdd, etc. It's gonna be great.

I'll be pulling the trigger on this card shortly to replace my two 570's.

You could get better performance and a cheaper price going SLI/XFire with 2 lesser but still good cards, you know.

recommendations?

What is the complete rundown on your current rig? Don't leave out the psu

Sonuva b. There is literally no way this will work out without intervention, is there? I cannot believe they ever felt they were a steam competitor.

 

[Mad Cow]

Well, it worked out last night, it now shows me as premium with a few battlepacks to open.

 

[Mad Cow]

Now if it would just fix itself with the last mission unlock issue. Has anyone been able to get that to work?

 

[Corporation]

Now if it would just fix itself with the last mission unlock issue. Has anyone been able to get that to work?

Yes we unlocked all 3 guns from the last mission, although I had to do one of the options twice to get it to register.

It's not a long mission, but having to wait through the cutscenes = Having to do it yet again to MAYBE get it to register again =

Yeah it's a pain. You can skip past the first cutscene of the boat on the water but I don't think you can skip the rest.

Worked for me the first time. I did one ending, let the credits roll. Played another, same. Played another, same. It took a while for each of the challenges to show completed (and unlocks), but they did after an hour or so. I have read there is an issue with it for many others, though. So I probably got lucky.

 

[TLEF316]

anyone else getting kicked by punkbuster today?

I get booted after 30 seconds every time i try to join a server today

 

[SlaX]

I didn't earlier when I played. I had no crashes and no rubberbanding, even on Paracel Storm. That was prior to 4pm. If there was a PB update, then it was after.

 

[MaxThreshold]

Decided to go with two 770's instead of one 780. NewEgg and Nvidia have some good deals going on. The two 770's were only $75 more than the one 780.

You should be able to sell the game codes you got with them to make up that difference. Nice purchase.

BTW I will be on for a while tomorrow with luck. Wife going to dinner and movie with sisters.

I'll be on tomorrow night as well. Probably around 6-ish CST.

 

[Corporation]

I've got my FIL's bday but should be able to join around 730 or 8 cst. Everyone get on mumble!

 

[Mad Cow]

Oh I am going to low battery fire alarm the crap out of you all tonight on Mumble.

 

[SlaX]

This is my "Battlefield Moment". I bet Cooleyo has had a few of these too.

 

[Mad Cow]

No one on tonight? I mean, I know Corp is watching a game and furiously making Facebook posts every 2 downs, but the rest of you?

Anyone looking for some performance tips, couple good videos posted lately by XFactor among others:

Way nicer IMO than using the in-game settings, especially since you need to restart BF4 anyways for some of the settings to take effect. Not to mention, having a backup is nice if you have to resetup your PC.

 

[Gator Shawn]

I want to get this game. Not sure how it will run. System Requirements Lab says I meet all of the minimum, but my video card is not at the recommended level. I have a 650 Ti.

I'm currently running a 650. I'll be getting a 770 GTX soon. I get about 30-42 FPS on High Settings and around 55-60 FPS on medium. You should have no problem playing BF4 if your card is your only worry.

 

[Mad Cow]

Thanks for the games last night. I was thinking how long many of us have been playing BF together, crazy.

I would have played longer last night, but I had the opportunity to play on my favorite multiplayer server. I started out as recon and earned some good points, switched to engineer to really get the game going, then went all out assault to finish off. Great game.

 

[SlaX]

What is your favorite server, Madcow?

For those who aren't Premium members, I have a BlackEyed Joe Emblem made that only uses the 20 layers. Let me know if you want me to enable it so you can copy it for yourself. It's basically the one I'm using now without the headset (and a minus a couple of strands of hair).

Should be able to run it fine. I'm running a 6870 and it does fine on medium settings.

I have a feeling he might be referring to sexual intercourse.

:woosh:

 

[Mad Cow]

It's not often you can get both in one night, ya know.

 

[Corporation]

Not sure your wife would appreciate being called the multiplayer server though

And I'm guessing it would be a client side crash long before the server crashes

Oh I can play all night long, baby. And, and, I have an ssd installed so if it crashes, I can reboot in seconds, if you know what I mean. I hope so because I'm not sure I do. . .

 

[IvanKaramazov]

The last time I tried multiplayer, I was hoping to spawn on my squadmate but got TKed instead. Had to go SP. :(

They are always premature, too. Oh wait.

I've tried playing commander mode 2 or 3 times now. Its beyond boring and the interface is too confusing. Probably not something I'll ever try again.

It was kinda fun in Bf2 and 2142. Not sure what happened.

Sex is really enjoyable after you and your partner have established the right chemistry. Don't give up on girlfriend #3 yet.

When I played commander, I was never given options for HVTs or tomahawk missile strikes. And some of the options I had I didn't understand what they did, like the clock icon.

Think I'm now disturbed that we're still using Battlefield as a metaphor for sex.

After a few hours of playing so far I feel BF:BC2>>>BF1943>BF3>>BF4 out of the Battlefields I have played. For some reason it just feels different, not like a BF game at all. This is on console. It's a combo of the very high bullet damage and congested maps that give me this feeling I believe. Not to mention the freezing every 20 minutes and then not saving the stats along with the worst pop in graphics I have ever seen including sound missing for minutes while it renders. Single player was alright and better than BF3, but that's not saying much. BC campaign blows it out of the water. Also the destruction is still lacking but better than BF3.

I never felt like BF:BC2 was a true Battlefield game. I guess it was just that so much was taken out of the game to make it console friendly. BF1943 was obviously stripped down, but it felt more like Battlefield.

Well, I take that back. BC2 did feel more like Battlefield than BF1943, but mainly because the squad system was broken and voice chat didn't work in game. Battlefield 2 is still the best one, but it had loads of problems and Dice decided that it was best to move forward than to continue tweeking the game.

Granted, I'm speaking from PC experience. Battlefield 3 and 4 were better to me because it brought back the big 32v32 gameplay that was missing in the Bad Company series. Even the PC version of BC was slimmed down and I didn't like that. It did make for better Rush battles though. 32v32 on Rush is just a huge mess.

I can see BF3/4 not working as well on the existing consoles. What is it, 12v12 on them right now? I'm sure it'll be better on XBone and PS4.

BC2 was my first dip into the Battlefield universe and i really liked its openness and destructibility. I also felt on console the balance was really well done especially in the Vietnam expansion. I loved playing rush and conquest in this. Since then it has felt like BF3 and now even more in BF4 that the game has gone main stream and has moved towards the twitchy FPS that I want to get away from with BF.
