Battlefield 4!

[Hoos]

Neither am I.

Clearly the shocker of the thread.

Who here can explain what the fuck jumps my points up so high at the end of the round? Often, I finish with 7,000-8,000 points and am in third place but then get jumped over 10k. I tried to do the math and see if that "additional points" you get in the breakdown is what it is, but that doesn't add up.

You get ribbons (1500 for winning, etc) and if you have a bonus for XP boost, or if you have medals, they will add onto your total score in-game.

I'm sorry, but this is a grown-up discussion, don't ever interrupt us again. Please return to the children's table and mind your own business.

I feel like you use this line in every thread you are in...

Lol, just did a forum search and anything that references "grown-ups" gets back to jsence telling someone else that, usually nick. LMAO

There are some huge things coming this next month w Battlefield, as they launch Player Appreciation Month. A lot of things in here for n00bs as well as veterans. If you haven't played yet, I would do it now.

I'm waiting to hear more about "Platoons", not sure what that will entail, but that's coming in February as well.

A Battlepack a Day
Every day that you log into the game in February, you’ll receive a Bronze or Silver Battlepack. For those of you who haven’t started opening your earned packs yet, these Battlepacks contain bonuses like XP Boosts and soldier camos. Normally, it would take approximately 30 hours gameplay to earn that many packs. Every day that you log a multiplayer game during the month of February, you will receive a new Battlepack. During weekdays, these will be Bronze, and during Saturdays and Sundays we will give away Silver Battlepacks. Remember to activate your earned XP boosts in the in-game menu to accelerate your progress.

ShortcutsShortcut Bundles
We are preparing two shortcut bundles for Battlefield 4 that we will make available for download at no cost during the Player Appreciation Month. These voluntary shortcut bundles will unlock all grenades and handguns for Battlefield 4 (the base game) so you can make up for lost time. Or if you’re new to the game, they will help you catch up with players who have been on the Battlefield since launch. We will get back to you with more details once we have set release dates for these items.

For all of our Battlefield 4 Premium users, we’re adding two additional weapon shortcuts, unlocking DMR’s and shotguns. That way, if you like, you can quickly get your hands on a large portion of the weapons available in Battlefield 4.

Double XP Weekend
During the Player Appreciation Month, we’ll be running a double XP weekend for all players. If you’re one of our many Battlefield 4 Premium members, you’ll also get an additional double XP weekend during the Player Appreciation Month as an added bonus.

Community Missions
You will be able to participate in global DICE Community Missions where you will work together to unlock Gold Battlepacks.During the first of these Community-wide challenges, we will ask you to grab a set number of dog tags during a specified time. More details on this first Community Mission in Battlefield 4 to follow.

DICE Developer Talks
Increased developer interaction and transparency on how we work is frequently requested from our fans. During Player Appreciation Month, we will host a number of interviews with some of the core developers of Battlefield 4. In these interviews, you can ask them about their line of work, the effort they’ve put into Battlefield 4, or in the case of our core gameplay designer, what the balancing process of Battlefield 4 looks like. We will announce the dates and channels for these developer interviews as the Player Appreciation Month kicks off.

We’re going to have more information available on each of the Battlefield 4 Player Appreciation Month activities throughout February. Check back here for those details.

If you are currently playing Battlefield 4, we hope you enjoy this month-long community appreciation. If you haven’t played in a little while, it’s a great time to get back in the game. Whoever you are, we appreciate the time you spend with Battlefield 4, we thank you for your support and we hope to keep hearing from you on the Battlefield 4 forums on Battlelog. Here’s to a great 2014!

I think we've already lost Aj and Coug.

[cougnix]

Not yet. I had to make dinner.

[trendon]

On my way!

[jsence2]

Headset!

[trendon]

No.

I'm going to give it a chance as a game I play to change things up.

That said there are a few things that are a tad annoying.

- Gun play seems to be a pretty secondary part of the game. Jsence talks about no "killstreaks", yet the entire game is a killstreak really with the 3 tanks, a jet and 2 helis all at once....constantly, and thats just for the other team. Which I'd be fine with if I had a stinger or something. which leads to the second thing...

- not being able to set up class other than in game or the app might be one of the dumber things ive seen. I can get past the not being able to party up pre game. Seems to take forever to level up guns...

the game itself is cool. we'll see....

[LetsGoPeay]

I've got this, on PS3 obviously, and haven't really played it. It just seems a bit sterile compared to CoD.

Do you have an iphone? There is a battlelog app where you can set a class up on there. All of them actually. Tanks and all

[ajalves]

yeah Coug told me that. and thats fine. I just think its silly you cant set it up on the game either between games or prior to joining

Yup. Has the battlefield guy on it holding a gun and "EA" in the bottom right corner. You can do loadout in there, and mess around with other shit that is less important too (kill stats, etc)

[ajalves]

thanks

You can also log in at battlelog.com and make changes as you play or any other time. It's quite easy to use. That said, you're right that it's silly but you get used to it.

As for vehicles, when you unlock mines on Engineer, use them. If you use Recon, the night vision goggles can be used to "paint" targets for teammates to shoot down with non-lockable launchers. As you unlock launchers and mines, you can negate the vehicles.

Vehicles play an important role, but they can be countered. That's why teamwork is so important. That's why if we have guys sniping from a rooftop, I'll go up to them with a Stinger and keep the skies clear, or I'll go up with Support and provide them ammunition. But gunfights happen as much as vehicle fights, from what I see. Vehicles can't get into some of the points, and even w the vehicles there is still a lot of ground warfare. For example, Siege of Shanghai---you have vehicles fighting for Bravo and Delta a lot, but not as much at Alpha, Charlie, or Echo. On Zavod, there is a lot of infantry gunfighting at almost all the points.
