Battlefield 4

[Ronin13]

I'm too broke to afford these nice, new consoles, but my brother and I play the crap out of BF4 on Xbox 360... But of course, no one here has time for those archaic old systems, right?

Eh...if Origin does a huge Christmas or Cyber Monday sale, I might pick it up. Otherwise, I'll stick to Arma 3.

You missed out. It was 29.99 on Friday via Origin. I think it's still 30% off through tomorrow though.

Is that right? How does it actually run? It was so buggy and chopped in beta that I uninstalled.

I didn't have any issues with the beta.

It runs really well on my rig but does crash on occasion.

The beta needed beta drivers for my video card, cleared up most all the jitters.

I'm doing it on PC too, RblDiver if anyone wants to add me. I most frequently play on ADK's Locker server with no explosives.

I'm surprised how few console players there are. I always played on a PC up through BF2142 but everyone I knew switched to consoles. I guess it may be time to switch back. I really suck with a controller anyway; probably how I would shoot a real weapon after about a 750 of whisky. Nothing like a mag dump at 5 yards only to see they're still at 100 health and I'm dead.

The ONLY way I would play BF3 or BF4 is on a PC equipped to handle it. I think that the CoD series is the best experience on consoles and BF is the best experience on PCs overall.

My ps4 should arrive this week. I also bought Bf4. Should I have purchased COD:Ghosts instead?
I haven't played console games in a few years so I'm not up to speed on which might be better.

Never played COD but BF provides benefits for playing as a team. If you can get a 5 man squad to work together on the 64 player maps you'll typically crush the other team (I'm usually on the receiving end). There are also several game types so you can change it up depending on what you're in the mood for. So far it seems pretty balanced across the classes and weapons/vehicles.

There is also commander mode where you help direct your team (spotting, launching drones and cruise missiles, giving squads orders, etc and not actually in the fight). There's an ipad app for it which I haven't tried out but seems like the way to go. I'm going to give it a try in San Francisco this week.
