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

[QUOTE=JJ4prez;48833070]You won't be seeing 120-144hz, too expensive for a game like BF4. You will likely see pro leagues with 10 player slots do that. I am just asking for all of the popular US conquest servers to go 60hz, it's a huge difference than 30hz. Right now, a lot of them are going 40hz, which is barely a change.[/QUOTE] A few German servers exist but it's a bit pointless with a 100 ping. [editline]5th October 2015[/editline] As for the price, if someone's willing to pay it someone's gonna host it.

That's true. I am assuming TBG, eGO, the 24/7 Siege servers, et al. will go to 60hz momentarily. They all get so much in donations and some are even sponsored. If they want to remain the best, they will be the best.

I'm not sure about the Asian servers, but I'm sure that the Singaporean CPU server will go 60hz since that server is fucking populated as fuck with having atleast 11 fuckers in queue everytime I refresh the browser. It's also the only popular Asian server I know that has Night Shift in its rotation, further boosting its popularity.

It's amaze but a clusterfuck [QUOTE=Kilgore 2nd;48833648]What sever is this on to get away with this kind of language? I shit you not I've been kicked for saying 'christ' and also another server i was kicked from for saying the word 'computer'. Every place I seem to find has the wierdest fucking word filters.[/QUOTE] MhSV server. My thread about the ordeal today got locked, too.

Admin uses forbidden gun and threatens to kick others using shotguns... Yeah, splendid server

What's wrong with naming and shaming genuinely shitty people though?

[QUOTE=LoNer1;48841173]Admin uses forbidden gun and threatens to kick others using shotguns... Yeah, splendid server[/QUOTE] yeah but [quote]Their server isn't up on my post, so it's no naming / shaming. [/quote] are you twelve?

There's mostly no point in complaining on b-log about badmins.

There's no point in complaining at all, they aren't gonna do shit about it because they don't give a shit. Rant about it to a friend and get over it, it's what I do.

Yea know, it's really refreshing seeing this game continuously get updates long after its ran its cycle. Any other company would've just stopped bothering with the game by now

[QUOTE=Jmir 54;48846094]Yea know, it's really refreshing seeing this game continuously get updates long after its ran its cycle.

If anyone on PS4 in the EU is interested. The Playstation Store is doing a pretty great deal. For £19.50 you get Battlefield 4 and Hardline together. Not as good as some PC deals have been, but great price for PS4 versions.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;48848157]Yeah, color me extremely surprised. It's almost an entirely different game compared to launch.[/QUOTE] I am not too surprised. If Hardline was a great success, we would be getting 75% less support than we do now. Battlefield has always been about listening to the community and changing/updating things to make them feel fresh. BF3 and BF4 were giant clusterflucks at release, and BF4 for a year was broken. They feel bad about their VERY loyal community. Let's not sit here and praise DICE/EA for being so good with us, remember, they still rushed out BF4 and hyped a very terrible shovelware BF title (Hardline). I do however think they have learned a lot in the past 3-4 years with Battlefield. The last thing they want is negative PR to their most beloved franchise for releasing broken games. I know it sounds harsh, but I am too thankful they just didn't move on. I hope BF5 has all of the outstanding changes in BF4 plus some things from Hardline (getting ammo/health from players manually) plus getting rid of levelution for good (doubtful) and giving us back Bad Company 2 destruction. Hell, I am fine with destruction right now sans levelution. The coding in levelution is too grand for the Frostbite 3 engine imo.

People keep talking about BC2 destruction. As far as I remember, it was only a tiny set of buildings they copy/pasted to hell and back. BF3/BF4 had just fewer of those buildings but that allows for urban maps like Siege of Shanghai and Dawnbreaker. I guess it'd be better if they added more details but overall it's still at least on par with BC2.

[QUOTE=JJ4prez;48850472]Battlefield has always been about listening to the community and changing/updating things to make them feel fresh.[/QUOTE] This is exactly what went missing until DICE LA took over Battlefield 4. You are correct about not blindly praising them : we had to wait a good while to get what turned out to be extremely good fixes [editline]7th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=StrawberryClock;48850675]People keep talking about BC2 destruction.

What sold me on BC2 was Port Valdez during the beta. The first stage changed so drastically over the course of a rush battle it wasn't even recognizable afterwards. I want that level of fucking shit up.

vid is private

So I played in that "Rekt | 80hz High Tickrate" server on PC. Magnificent. 64 man conquest, hosted on a private server, played smooth all night while keeping a 64 player base. There's a couple lag hiccups from time to time because it's a private server, but the hit registration felt glorious and I didn't run into any dusting activities.

I'll play it tonight since I forgot to set Battlefront Beta to download. -------- It doesn't have any dumb rules on it, does it?

No dumb rules that I know of. [url]http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/servers/show/pc/91ffab31-0525-4088-b7cd-68b0dc4a9595/Rekted-80Hz-High-Tickrate/[/url] It's dead during the day but gets popular at night - usually.

Oh damn, wrong thread. Sorry, folks!

Is Hardline worth getting or should I just stick to playing Battlefield 4? as far as I know feature wise there wasn't much difference from Battlefield 4.

BF4. BF4 is loaded with SO much more content.

I just got both at once in a bundle for 50. BF4 is 30 dollars normally on PSN so I just take it as buying Hardline for 20, which I always felt was a fair price for it.

Shield with shotgun and mp-aps is my new thing in rush. I am distracting the enemy so crazily much that I just mark them while they first try to shoot me and they always get mowed down by others. As soon as they start to ignore my straight look into their face I just pull out a pistol and shoot them (I already pre aim through the shield then just plop into the head). I am freaking annoying and I can just feel how confused and "what do now" the others are often.

Could do this in my sleep [t]http://sharex.moe/i/2015/10/15-10-10_15-40-01.jpg[/t]

Since Battlefront is beyond unbalanced and terrible, guess I am playing more BF4 until BF5.
