Quality is our number one priority and we will not release Battlefield 4 Naval Strike on PC until we feel it meets the highest quality level possible.

Since when? :whiste:

It must have been really jacked up, like to the point of not even running, for them not to go ahead and release it. LOL

It is kind of peculiar that they're not having any issues with the console, just PC. I thought they were developing on PC?

It's a busy week for games, D3 expansion released and the big FFXIV patch coming in a day or two as well. Even if it was perfect, it wouldn't get a lot of attention this week. Could be a business call.

They are.


But is much easier to find and fix issues when your hardware is all the same, ala consoles.

PC, there's just so many possible configs.

Worth it to purchase the 'premium' pack for this game? I got BF4 for free with a video card a couple months ago. Just got it installed a few days ago. Seems fun, though I haven't really played a BF game since Desert Combat (mod for 1942). If this game is going to stay popular for a while, I'd consider throwing down the money to keep up to date. Lots of ATOT people still playing?

That's a tough call IMO. I would probably just buy the DLC that you specifically want or wait for a great deal. There are going to be dozens of maps, but the core ones are played most with some community favorites or servers that specialize in rotating DLC maps.

Worth it for me since I'm a pretty big BF fan. Add Moonbogg and we'll get together and make 'em hurt.

I'd play for a few weeks before deciding. If you're playing long term, sure. If you're gone in a month the base game has plenty.

Premium isn't worth $50 but if you see on sale for $30 I would say go for it.
