PC with premium was cheaper than buying the Standard PS4 version because NZ prices are worse somehow than Australian ones... and I don't have a PS4.

so um, yeah. I am become autism, destroyer of nerds.

Edit: I don't like how every round I played ended up as both teams lining up at opposite ends of a hallway, spamming grenades with no obvious way to sneak around behind and stab mans.

Currently my Kay Dee, it's bad... bro.

Kind of wanting to hook up a ps3/360 controller because ugh too many buttons and weirdness with keyboard.

Seriously: why does crouch/prone need FOUR options?

Crouch (toggle)
Crouch (hold)
Crouch (toggle) Prone (Hold)
Prone

There are separate movement key options for infantry and every vehicle type.

:pcgaming:

I don't know how to get the iPad battle screen thing working, like if I set up filters in the server browser on the tablet, it propagates through to the PC and vice versa. but I can't join games.

On the plus side, it hasn't crashed yet.

The only real problems I've got on PC are having to listen to Australians, and my non-goon buddies only ever wanting to play Locker/Metro. :shrug:
If people are still playing, I'll probably get a PS4 with battlefield when I'm less busy with other things (work/music/etc.), and if/when a BF4 + Premium is released like they did with BF3.

It's fun and all, but not worth paying NZ$200 (again) that it is currently.

I don't know why when you unlock the larger Ammo boxes/Medikits that the smaller ones don't disappear because there's no reason to use them any more, like the Individual perks did in BF3 once you'd unlocked all the squad upgrades.

fake edit: the answer is always :dice:

They behave differently. The larger ones are stationary but more effective. The smaller ones give less ammo/health but can be picked up on the move and taken with you or even thrown at moving teammates. They are different items. I personally prefer the first aid pack to the medic bag because I don't want to have to stop moving to self-heal when I'm rolling round Rodeo Locker with a shotgun. I'd rather be able to heal in smaller increments (you get unlimited packs; just has a cooldown) on the run than become a sitting duck who heals slightly faster.

Thanks!

The game saves a checkpoint before the final scene right before you choose Irish/Hannah/Do nothing. Quit the game just before that (Like in Baku :hurr:), and make another copy of your save file.
Go back in and finish the game, then quit after getting the unlock for that ending, restore the save game backup, and repeat without having to play the complete final mission.

This is the bit where someone tells me the save games are protected and can't be copied isn't it?

I've seen Sankersizzle and scott playing PS3 BF4. I haven't played since the beta and I think Chalupa Joe is on PC now, but everyone else must be on PS4 by now.

I am, and I hate it: Knifing is broken as gently caress, I keep getting shot through walls and the only maps everyone ever plays are Locker or Metro... I also got kicked from a flood zone server last night for using the airburst on the admins, who were sniping from a rooftop :negative:

Why are you under the impression console BF4 is any different?

I'm not, it's :dice: all the way down. But console has the "buddies talking about random poo poo" feature built in, which apparently is also in the PC version, except no one uses it in favour of farting about with Teamspeak/Mumble like it's nineteen loving ninety seven still... At the moment I'm mostly just playing the commander app anyway.

Are you for real complaining about having to double click a thing to talk to people? I get some of the complaints about PC stuff, and I won't pretend some things aren't annoying, but mumble is painless after you spend ten seconds setting it up and the conversation is more or less the exact same stuff as I experienced on Xbox.

No, I'm just using hyperbole because this game annoys me, yet I am unable to stop playing it.

It makes sense to skip BF4 on console if you already have it on PC. I just don't, and I'm not spending $200 on this game+premium twice. Hopefully by the time I can afford it they have a premium version of the game with everything packed in like they did with BF3.

I need an adult. :gonk:

There's a free week-long trial of BF4 on origin, I'm not sure if that's a week of actual game time, or just a week to play as much as possible. Either way the trial only starts the first time you start the game up.

Come see how awful Locker is. :getin:

Highlights include a round of Locker that was actually fun instead of the usual dick-punching meat grinder, me forgetting that Golmud railway is actually the worst map, and Manatee getting kicked from a server at lvl 8 for being too good at the game.

Outside of Locker and Floodzone almost all the maps in this game are better than the BF3 maps. Maybe Dawnbreaker isn't great as well, it comes up so rarely in most server rotations now that I have no idea if it is as terrible as I think it is.

Dawnbreaker isn't too bad, it needs to have more paths through the buildings instead of the majority of them being solid blocks, but seems to have a decent mix of cover and open space. There being at least 4 jets available is completely pointless though.

Silk Road is an Armored Kill map done properly. so I guess that counts as good.
Operation Mortar is ok, because it has some semblance of cover from the gunship... well except it's the only map in the Naval Strike pack which doesn't have it.

Reminder that 2 SLAMS was all it took to kill a tank back at launch. Making it take 3 is still somewhat reasonable. Especially since the blast radius got nerved.

Take a support buddy with you and that's still at least two opportunities for SLAMbike.
