Any other Battlefield junkies here?

I so believe that they limited the graphics on console to incentivize upgrading to the new consoles.

Wouldn't doubt it one bit.

So I played last night for a few hours and it's getting better. I was able to get into games at will. My biggest complaint now is that you can not party up then go into a game together. We spent some time looking for games that four people could join and then timing it right that you get everyone one in. I really wish they would fix that.

yeah ive got a few hours in multiplayer and the more I play it the more I get used to it. Not sure how I feel about the weapon unlock system. How you unlock each weapon in that category, by playing with that category. It looks like it will take a longgggg time to get everything unlocked. Still not liking the controls though, I really hope they give us a bf3 control option.

[Daniel]

Most of the weapons are pretty lame until you get the attachments unlocked.

so this game is PLAGUED with glitches, on the 360 anyway. thats all the threads are over on the BF forums. My biggest complaint is its freezing my 360 every few matches. I have to reboot it. Also, today, every premium member has lost some of their premium items, and there was an issue with the battlepacks. EA said they are working hard to get it all sorted out though

I've tried to enjoy all of the bf titles and I just can't get into it. There is no reason to run for 5 minutes and have zero action. As far as playing with friends, I've never been able to party up and have all my friends on the same team.

That is what the vehicles are for. ;) Sniper class can own as well if you take the time to learn the best lines of sight.

Exactly, pretty much at the first of every conquest match i hitch a ride in the chopper till i get where i want to be in the map then just jump and parachute down.

That's actually why I prefer Battlefield to Modern Warfare and the like. Small maps that are just 24/7 bloodbath are fun occasionally, but  I like the ability to drive vehicles and spread out a little bit. To each his own! :cheers:

I play Halo for that haha. They have Halo 3 for free through live right now by the way.

TDM is for you.  To your complaint, the size of the maps is a plus in my opinion. When you have 48-64 players you wont have 5 minutes with no contact.

I do not have any problem finding people to shoot. If you are playing an objective based game just spawn on your squad or a flag. If you do not see anyone for 5 minutes you must be camping way way back on a map. My complaint now is that I have the hardest Damn time actually seeing enemies in the game. I can be looking straight down a hallway and never see the guy laying by the box that shoots me. I have heard this from multiple people and I am wondering if it will be better with the one. Kinda like was mentioned before..... more incentive to buy the new system.

If your difficulty is seeing someone then the XBO is not for you. BF4 is only running 720 vs the PS4's 900 (and the PC's 1080). Difference is even greater on CoD with 720 vs 1080. Not sure if this will be indicative of their hardware throughout this generation but if devs can't squeeze out 1080 at 60fps on a cross gen game I am not hopeful for their future when games will be more demanding.

Found out about a fix for the shotty graphics on xbox 360! I read about it on the battlefield forums and it worked for me.

In the main screen menu go to options, then display, then go down to "network smoothing" or something like that. Its set at a default 50%. Take it all the way up to 100%, then save the settings and join a match and check it out!

Again it helped me a lot. Im playing on a 1080p led screen with hdmi. Hope this may help some of my fellow gamers on the 360 who was also disappointed in the graphics on bf4.

I will try this tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

I found this video just now, It explains the smoothing factor.

Dang right. Bf3, soon to be 4

[felinesNfreedom]

So I was playing tonight on X box and I got the disk unreadable message probably 15 times. I am taking my game back to target tomorrow to swap it out. I am afraid it may be more that just the disk. 

[reed1285]

The only problem im having now is it freezing up every 4th or 5th match. According to bf forums alot of people are experiencing this problem.

Oh also i was playing yesterday and noticed the hit mark system was glitchy, i would be shooting somebody and wouldnt be gettting any hitmarks but they would still die.

Then all of a sudden it would work again. Oh well, at least they are getting them straightened out slowly but surely. Ive warmed up to multiplayer a bit, especially after the network smoothing factor fix.

[DangerDanJD]

Just found out my Xbox One is delayed so I went ahead and grabbed BF4 for the Xbox 360. Gamertag is DangerDanJD and I do not plan on doing well for at least a few days until I figure out the new maps!

You dont get hit markers on Hardcore servers.

[reed1285]

Yeah but what you do get is a server full of campers using sniper rifles, been down that road. I've tried the hard-core servers on a few occasions and that's all I've ever ran into

LOL. everyone always hates on Recon class. 

[reed1285]

No, I dont hate on the recon class. Im more of a play the objective type bf4 player. Im sure in team deathmatch or other game types the recon class really comes in handy. All I play though is conquest, and whenever Im the only guy on my squad playing the objectives because my other two or three teammates are sitting on top of a builiding somewhere, it gets aggravating sometimes. Hard to win a conquest match when a third or sometimes even about half the players are sniping.
