Probably a dumb question, but if I bought naval strike now and decided to upgrade to premium later would I just have to eat the $15 or would it discount it off of the price?

Never buy premium. I say this as someone who used to buy season passes in the previous gen, and I have 140 hours in BF4. Also, naval Strike has some bad rubberbanding from what I've been told. I tried played Paracel Storm last night, and the rubberbanding on it was really bad for some reaosn (maybe they broke it in a new patch+they obviously need new servers). I'm not going to buy Naval Strike until they do something about this. Now, if we get custom servers with a full map rotation, maybe premium would be worth it, especially if you don't have any of the packs. I got China Rising for free, so it'd be only 10 bucks more for me to buy piecemeal.

I'm hoping that they're waiting to release custom servers at the same time as the game servers get upgraded.

The best mix seems to be a joint and a bottle of cider. The former heightens my tactical senses, and the latter inures me to the senseless mass murder that occurs.

If you didn't learn your lesson from BF3 premium, go for it. How many of the BF3 DLC packs lasted more than a few weeks after release? Its a shame, because I did like some of the maps but anytime we tried playing anything other than vanilla and maybe Back to Karkand, we killed the server

Wait for the inevitable premium edition that will package both the game and a premium code. Though seriously, you guys are gonna buy the dlc anyway so what's the point.

As said before if we had a custom ps4 server where we could do map rotation from all the map packs, then buying premium might not be a bad idea. As it is, each map pack is its own special rotation so you'll be rotating on the same 4 maps until you switch over. Also Apperently naval strike has some insane rubber banding issues and it's creeping over to the vanilla set too. I haven't bought a single map pack yet (China rising for free with a preorder) and I get frustrated enough with regular rotation maps. Keep in mind, this is dice, we may never be fully unfucked.

How is this a good idea? Why can't you just have a random map for you or your squad each round? I actually really wanted the game to so I can do some multi with my shiney new ps4. Oh well I guess. I'll bookmark the thread in case things change.

Moochewmoo posted:The gently caress? How is this a good idea? Why can't you just have a random map for you or your squad each round? Yup. Here's the dumb thing. Until we get custom servers, the map rotation is always the same. Playing vanilla map? You always play operation locker after golmud rush. Play on one of the dlc packs? It rotates among the same 4 dlc maps in the same order. This is true for every game mode. It rotates in the same order. No matter what game type you play. Bf4 is worth it for vanilla maps alone but I can't in good faith, recommend anyone buy a single dlc pack or premium. Now if we get custom goon servers on the other hand,that's a whole different story. Edit: if it helps, it's the best multiplayer on ps4 for now, especially when it works.

Is later evenings a good time to play? I swear when I play at like 6-9pm est the game is entirely full of insufferable shitlords who know 3 things. 1. take transport/jet/attack heli as personal taxi and park on random rooftop. 2. snipe and go 3-2 after a 40 minute match. 3. use stinger from rooftop. there is nothing else but the rooftop. always stand on rooftop. the rooftop wins you the game.

The rubber banding was getting too me and the weather has started to get better so I haven't been on. I'll be back though, the battlefield franchise is really the only shooter I still have a lot of fun playing. Especially with a full squad of goons.

Talking about Bad Company 2 with Rhenasaurus a couple nights ago made me want to go back and play a few rounds. If anyone else on PS3 feels like having fun playing rush ( Laguna Presa), I'll probably hop on sometime this week.

I'm still playing...sort of. I let my Live sub lapse for a little bit on purpose while I finish up a couple other games and go back and get the single-player achievements in the campaign. I only have a couple more levels to go, but it's been...interesting. I found out through the awesomeness of wearing my headset while playing late at night that when you are near a collectible dog tag in the campaign, a distinct sound rings out, which helped me narrow all of them down that I missed so far. The "collectible" campaign weapons, on the other hand, don't have the same jingle when you are near them and are a pain in the rear end to find. A bunch of them are in locations you would never think of going to. One of them was in such an obtuse location that I would have never found it without breaking down and checking online (which I absolutely hate doing but gently caress this game). I also had a fun time in Kunlun last night where the level had trouble loading a lot of the level textures after meeting Irish, and after I took the elevator up, hardly any of the next part of the level loaded, and I had the distinct pleasure of watching a gunfight with almost a dozen people fight in the vast openness of nothing while endlessly falling through the level. The second I stepped off the elevator, I went sailing through the level and fell to my death. Reloading the checkpoint didn't work, restarting the game didn't work, so I had to restart the level and do it over again. Typical .Oh yeah, and despite still having to play through two more levels, I already got the Tombstone achievement for beating the campaign on Hard. Yay!  I have to go back tonight and get the achievement where you have to get 20,000 points in Singapore. I can safely say that once I get the rest of the achievements and the other two multiplayer weapons, I'm never touching the campaign again. Why is it so loving hard for these people to make a stable campaign experience? Jesus.

I fire it up from time to time but rarely last a round before it's just frustrating. The game is such a bungle, I kinda hope those talks of a class action end up happening just so the industry takes notice. Or at least something like Epic/Atari did with UT2003, where the next turd Dice pushes out is reduced for BF4 buyers.

Look this game has problems but it's still fun as gently caress. Despite the rubber banding on NS the maps are a fuckin blast. I love burst firing at wookies across the islands in Lost Islands and destroying them before they know what's going on.
