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

[QUOTE=Scratch.;49108355]I question everything because it's not clearly stated (or I suck at reading) it is an EA game mind you[/QUOTE] don't worry, it's going to be free for everyone It was [B]clearly[/B] stated that all post final-stand DLC would be free

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;49117181]don't worry, it's going to be free for everyone It was [B]clearly[/B] stated that all post final-stand DLC would be free[/QUOTE] I believe it even though I haven't seen it

[QUOTE=Scratch.;49117199]I believe it even though I haven't seen it[/QUOTE] Jeez, fine. The weapon crate was free, Night operations was free, Community Operations was free, and the Legacy Operation page states that the DLC will be Free* as well *Requires base Battlefield 4 (so no premium)

[QUOTE=1chains1;49100455]I have since bf2 ran shotguns, but the slugs for me in bf4 are so underwhelming since pretty much anything else in that range area totally out classes it. Like there is literally no situation in which a slug loaded shotgun is the better choice versus some other weapon.[/QUOTE] What also ruins it is the defensive perk, even when up close, players wont die of slug rounds because it takes up a second shot. And it gets worse when taking up shots at far distance. I hope they'll buff that that up fast! Because i love slug rounds since BC2. They are always my favorite, and of course people's reaction to it.

guys anyone like bf2 modern combat a lot? thats my favourite one and i had bf2 for pc when i had that so its not console nostalgia noob

[QUOTE=1chains1;49115034]Flir is gross, makes game ugly and even more dumbed down. Whoever uses it just lets me know all they care about is their k/d and instantly puts me off being anywhere around them.[/QUOTE] When I care about my k/d I go shotgun on Zavod middle. Tbh the flir is useless passed midrange and since smoke got flir immunity I don't see it used much anymore.

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49121389]When I care about my k/d I go shotgun on Zavod middle. Tbh the flir is useless passed midrange and since smoke got flir immunity I don't see it used much anymore.[/QUOTE] In open maps using SRR-61 and FLIR with not many people using smoke or flares, it's a little overpowered.

I like how they removed the scope model sway from the FLIR and IRNV, most likely to balance it out with the smoke nerf

Yea its been balanced a bit, still don't like it at it's very core because it forces you to sacrifice something to counter it. You have to give up either explosives for destroying vehicles/structures since you have to go smoke or you have to give up your medkit/ammo pack or just have a single use grenade. What does the person using flir have to give up? They can keep their packs, their explosives and only get inconvenienced if someone decides to use the smoke which can just as must negatively impact your team if not placed properly, not to mention the entire risk of trying to find the flir person to fire the smoke in his general direction, not to mention he probably already knows where you are thanks to his flir. So good luck sticking your head out long enough to line up a decent shot to place that smoke. For me it feels like a shit ton of work that relies on your teammates picking up slack or knowing your intent while all the flir user has to do is just pick an attachment and go wild, I want that kind of teammwork but it is not a two way street concerning the flir so it gives them a natural advantage. The only true solution (you know the one that actually benefits you, instead of forcing you to go a specialized build your teammates MAY or MAY NOT take advantage of) is to go flir yourself, and then you have just become part of the problem. edit - So tl;dr version: Something is broken when it requires multiple teammates to build and react to ONE person who in the end doesn't even get that impacted by what you are doing.

well, it doesn't help that FLIR and IRNV have awkward magnification levels and take up a lot more of your FoV. Light sources are much more of a problem than you think for these two sights, so if someone's being a cunt you can just load up on flares (who even uses these) / incendiary grenades / flashbangs / flashlights and go ham

So it requires a large part of teammwork on your side and almost none on theirs. Something is broken when it requires large coordination and risks to counter but, on the other end all you have to do is pick the flir, a suppressor and have yourself a field day. Or just hop in a vehicle once you start seeing the smoke everywhere and watch as they can't do shit to you.

Some content for the thread. One man's trash is another man's lift: [video=youtube;Ugoq3twr05g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugoq3twr05g[/video] I'm still guilty of ditching vehicles, but you should never do it. It's not worth the risk of it falling into enemy hands.

Thats why I never ditch air vehicles and if I have to ditch a land vehicle or a boat I always makes sure to destroy it first

I dont ditch, I trap them. Whenever I'm an engi or especially support, I either mine my vehicle or c4 it. Today, as example, I rigged a transport with 3 c4's and park it in the only flagzone the enemy has. Thinking to myself, surely some unfortunate prey will take the bait ... Full squad wipe with 5 kills. Damn that was lol. Also did something questionable today. I hopped into a server where the difference between my level and the second highest guy below me was 34... The rest were all nobs. Level 20-30s. And I spend my fun time in the Tunguska. I went 39 in 2 and one of the deaths was me trying to rep my tank with my rpg. Hate when that happens

The other day a recon decided to use an attack jet as a sniper transport, it landed perfectly intact by our spawn and gave me a solid 20 minute joyride, mostly because the MAA forgot what his job is.

So what is your favorite dlc? I have enough to buy one but I am torn on which one would give me my money's worth. Only one I currently have is china rising.

Honestly just wait until premium goes on sale.

Hey guys, my dads having a bit of a problem with BF3 So he's been playing BF3, and continuously ever since it came out (hes gotta have put 2000 hours in it by now) anyway, as of today something odd has been happening in regards to punk buster so he keeps getting this message every half an hour into gameplay "Game disconnected: you were kicked by PunkBuster. Stated reason: PunkBuster kicked player 'HipsterHendrix' (for 0 minutes) ... RESTRICTION: Disallowed Program/Driver [130827]" For whatever reason, I have no clue what is going on, I let him play the game on my account on the same server again and it still had the same message. I looked into the message a little deeper, I havent changed my drivers ever since GTAV came out back in April to which I updated them, The only things I have installed the past 4 days is Fallout 4 and CSGO; and Fallout was installed on Friday; which my dad has been playing BF3 perfectly fine since. Could someone point me in the right direction to fix this problem? I have no clue what is happening, Punkbuster is checked as private through firewall if that is any help Thanks!

What programs is he running in the background? Anything new installed, other than Fo4 and CSGO? Punkbuster is pretty finicky when it comes to other software running

I want to buy Battlefield for this Christmas but I'm not sure about getting it. There's is Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield Hardline is too bad to even be considered. So I gotta buy Battlefield 4. I'm afraid that if I buy Battlefield 4 another Battlefield game will be announced very quickly soon after I make my purchase. I don't know what to do. I have shitty luck and I don't want to lose my money on a game that will die in like year.

I'd like to see Battlenonsense's fictional Battlefield 1982 that is [I]way[/I] too good to ever happen. EA would never do that one of their biggest cash cows. I mean, I still like modern Battlefield games. They're very good in their own right, but I want to see something like classic Battlefield again. Just, without the grenade spam and OP planes, please. I've been playing a lot of BF2 and BF4 back to back, and the comparisons between the two are very interesting. They really are games from different times. Really though, I'm not sure what they might do for the next Battlefield game. I'm thinking it's either going to be Bad Company 3 or Battlefield 2143. Probably 2143 because the trend nowadays is futuristic stuff, but I want to believe Battlefield is above just copying the latest trend, even though in the past that's been proven to not be the case.

Battlefield future shit is actually cool and they've teased the fuck out of it esp in end game.

Either 2143 or Vietnam 2 Can you imagine the vietnamese jungles rendered in Frostbite? mmmlmlml

I'd prefer 2143 TBH. we already have a "preview" of how it could look with Final Stand's futuristic gadgets
