It also introduce the world to that horrifically terrifying thing known as chemical warfare. The next war ends with something worse. Yay!

Playing battlefield 4 last night just making more hype for this game solely due to the lack of lock on weapons.

Rocket gunning tanks is tense as hell, especially when you know you got only three shells.

Oh you know it'll come out later as part of an Imperial Germany Gear pack or something. These things always go 'extra content' after releases.

Aye, this is true.. Plus I'm off work for a week from the 21st so I should probably just be sensible and let :dice: have a few days to patch out the inevitable game breaking bugs at release then binge on battlefield during my holiday.

I'm still hoping we'll be able to change certain elements of the uniform now, I know we'll get a bountiful choice of player character heads from the single player campaign. If they are doing these weirdo promo battle pack code things now it'd be nice if it was more weapon skins.

Actually requiring a bit of team work to deal with tanks is a good thing.

I mostly used the launcher to snipe guys though since that thing flys pretty drat straight.

Outside of infantry shooting at helicopters lock-on weapons barely feature in BF4, are super easy to avoid unless 3 or 4 people are working together, and aren't really a problem for anyone (which is actually the problem). That said removing them and therefor not trying to design anything around them is a good thing.

The thing on Xbox is that there's been a big influx of new players recently so a lot of them don't have the rpg or don't realize it's the best choice so I run into lots of laws and javs. Not a big deal but still annoying and frustrating when they get that lucky kill after an armor battle. Then there's other poo poo like staff shell tanks and the always fun little bird "lets hover at max range and take turns shooting missiles at each and popping counter measures". 1v1 dawn breaker miniguns only duel with honor imo

I'm sure it'll take some time to balance out stuff in battlefield one but I take solace in knowing someone will have to actually aim to kill me

Yeah, the problem with lock on weapons in BF3/4 for air vehicles is the utter impossibility for people to die to them unless the air is completely saturated with stingers. By yourself you'll never down a dude because the flare reload time was tiny as all hell.

You can get the digital deluxe edition for $70 if you buy an AMD code off ebay, or you can just get the base game for $47 from GMG. It's kinda a no brainer - you don't miss out on much and you can avoid supporting EA's incredibly lovely business practices.

So does the GMG key skip all the pre-order poo poo? I'm totally not interested in that crap at all.

GMG keys generally will include pre-order bonuses (or at least their steam equivalents do, no idea about Origin)

I've been running Stingers all weekend and focusing on helicopters just to be a dick, and yeah. The best I can do is make air vehicles run away 90% of the time. I think I've killed 4 helicopters by myself this weekend, and thats it.

Gmg standard order will not get you the early enlisted bonus. Unless you play a lot on week nights I'd avoid paying extra.

I dropped 5 bux already just to give the spin and I suspectany other folks will too. Besides Titanfall is more fun than expected and is tiding me over until then.

Large open ended space with lots of moving back and forth. Animated opening of crates for items around the game world. Some large-ish battles with friendly AI (that were either MG emplacement murdermachines or confused pigeons.) Pretty decent "wow war really sucks and you shouldn't be excited for it" vibe despite long periods of one-man-army kind of gameplay.

Got the vibe that each chapter is actually one giant map that you run around doing stuff on.

The AI was really buggy, such that some people think it might be unfinished code. Only new weapon is a four shot shot pistol.

Speaking of weapons, I've been watching Westworld, and one of the characters has this sweet loving revolver that has a shotgun shell alternate fire.

Here's a guy shooting a regular cartridge and then the shotgun:
