Battlefield Franchise Megathread V1 - 'Hardline is still DLC' Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;47097555]hotwire would be a lot more fun if people would actually drive some god damn cars[/QUOTE]pff, play the objective? nah, i think i'll just lay down some c4 on the road, hide in a house, and wait for an enemy to drive by.

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;47097555]hotwire would be a lot more fun if people would actually drive some god damn cars[/QUOTE] This is Battlefield. Being the only guy driving a car while the enemy team constantly has atleast 3 running is part of the experience.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;47097631]This is Battlefield. Being the only guy driving a car while the enemy team constantly has atleast 3 running is part of the experience.[/QUOTE] it would be less annoying if any car other than the tanker truck was available but i drive that for 15 seconds and get blown up by a stiff wind

Is it just me or is it now taking forever to load pages in Battlelog? Also it refuses to get in any Hardline servers. [editline]8th February 2015[/editline] I think Battlelog is being DDOSed.

Yeah, for about half an hour now it's been a mess and connecting is impossible.

Right on the money: [IMG]http://puu.sh/fD133/48bd6383b7.jpg[/IMG] It's pretty blatantly a DDOS since the entirety of battlelog is affected. [editline]8th February 2015[/editline] Haha, they updated the notice to this: [IMG]http://puu.sh/fD2h5/6e44324bde.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=SuperHoboMan;47092947]Having premium for BF4 means you get all the expansion packs, right? Because it says I don't have Final Stand, but I have all the other DLC.[/QUOTE] When I bought the premium edition of BF4, I was able to download the expansion packs for free.

It's up again. Anybody wants to play?

It was a good run but Hotwire is officially unplayable. Every game is now breaching charges on the road and people hiding in bushes with rocket launchers. RIP the only fun I was having this beta.

[QUOTE=AdrianTheShep;47096522]atleast you have the sound config on "War Tapes", right? at first i couldnt hear shit too, but then i realized that it had the "cinema" (i think) config by default and it was annoying, i switched to war tapes and [I]my life is better now[/I][/QUOTE] War Tapes has too much unrelated noise so I use either the Headphones or Hifi setting. [editline]8th February 2015[/editline] I get a lot of "Server doesn't exist" messages when joining.

[QUOTE=Akasori;47098236] I get a lot of "Server doesn't exist" messages when joining.[/QUOTE] Servers are taking a shit, it's taking a awhile for server pages to refresh for me. Also, wow, Heist is a really bad game mode or Bank Job is a bad map for it.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;47098338]Servers are taking a shit, it's taking a awhile for server pages to refresh for me. Also, wow, Heist is a really bad game mode or Bank Job is a bad map for it.[/QUOTE] To me, I think it's just the map. The dev have to take note in both the gameplay of the map and the layout to make it look like a bank as much as possible. It's either a map with good gameplay but with bizarre mapping that make the bank look 'un-bank like' or a map with bad gameplay but makes the environment realistic. Take a look at the other Heist map, Downtown. It works well as the map are larger.

I just randomly got 8 battlepacks Do they just give them out at random sometimes or something?

Just tried hardline practically I haven't even played bf3 and bf4, my god this game is horrible and having to join servers with the browser is so annoying, Uninstalled and I'll go back to playing my beloved bad company 2 on steam. The UI is confusing as fuck and matches end so quickly I can barely kill 1 or 2 dudes. Graphics look straight out of a console even on "Ultra" I'm so glad ea lets us test those games because paying 60$ for this would be like stepping on a lego.

[QUOTE=spectator1;47098728]I'm so glad ea lets us test those games because paying 60$ for this would be like stepping on a lego.[/QUOTE] Not sure if this is good. Nowadays companies don't bother hiring a game-tester / bug-finder to help improve their product. Simply release all content and wait for community to respond. BF3 had Little Bird campers. BF4 still has them. Even Hardline has them but they are easy to destroy.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;47098212]It was a good run but Hotwire is officially unplayable. Every game is now breaching charges on the road and people hiding in bushes with rocket launchers. RIP the only fun I was having this beta.[/QUOTE] Where do people even get the rocket launchers? I thought the whole point of no one spawning with one was to make it more fun, but it feels like nearly everyone I come across has one anyway

[QUOTE=The DooD;47098912]Where do people even get the rocket launchers? I thought the whole point of no one spawning with one was to make it more fun, but it feels like nearly everyone I come across has one anyway[/QUOTE] Look on your mini map, there will be a little icon for them.

I had some fun with the beta... ...but it solidified my decision not to buy the game, at least not at launch. I'm gonna wait until the Premium Edition comes out and then I might just reconsider.

[QUOTE=spectator1;47098728] The UI is confusing as fuck and matches end so quickly I can barely kill 1 or 2 dudes. [/QUOTE] So this is where they get the idea that their games are too hard.

[QUOTE=The DooD;47098912]Where do people even get the rocket launchers? I thought the whole point of no one spawning with one was to make it more fun, but it feels like nearly everyone I come across has one anyway[/QUOTE] Use mobile armory for infinite rockets.

Ive owned every single battlefield game to date on launch day. While I played bits of this it feels very different in terms of a battlefield game. Maps are relatively small and is going to be a fragfest on 64 players. While im enjoying myself and this game is pretty fun I think im going to sit this one out and wait on a premium deluxe version a year later. Why? I cant explain but it dont seem that fun of a battlefield game you would play hours on end and not exactly a real battlefield either. More like get tired of it within launch week and play for like 2-3 hours every week afterwards. Something feels very off about this game to. Its like they took all good stuff like hud fixes and shit from bf4. But then make this game and the gun models and sounds is like they never made a battlefield game before what the fuck dice.

Hotwire is fucking fun as hell, that alone is making me consider buying this, if I can afford it when it comes out. Also, did anyone notice that with the criminal operator, sometimes he has some weird looking white watch on his right hand? Is that just some visual thing or does it represent something?

Has anyone had trouble activating the boosters? When ever I try and activate it just hangs at the "activating booster" forever.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;47098338]Servers are taking a shit, it's taking a awhile for server pages to refresh for me. Also, wow, Heist is a really bad game mode or Bank Job is a bad map for it.[/QUOTE] I think Heist as a mode will work better on larger maps where vehicles can introduce a lot of chaotic gameplay and are required to win.

If I could describe BFH, it would be "WOOP WOOP DAS THE SOUND OF THE POLICE" repeated on loop while all the Mechanics in my hotwired vehicle sit there without repair torches.

So I just found out that Bad Company 2 now has a thriving modding community that has already added WW2 airplanes to the game... Yup.

Holy shit some of those rare reloads in BFH are hilarious. Also why the hell can't I get into BF4.

[QUOTE=Alsojames;47100014]Holy shit some of those rare reloads in BFH are hilarious. Also why the hell can't I get into BF4.[/QUOTE] -snip- I can get in, so I dunno.

Are there any more recorded secret reloads other than the Desert Eagle, RPG, AKM, RO933 and that one revolver?

[QUOTE=simkas;47100058]Are there any more recorded secret reloads other than the Desert Eagle, RPG, AKM, RO933 and that one revolver?[/QUOTE] I know for the M16A3 instead of dropping the clip your character just throws away his gun and grabs a new one.
