Oh boy, SP looks like BC2 style sandbox style system. Nice to see more of a squad together. Interesting about spotting/calling air support.

Definitely more destruction, but I wonder how much will translate to MP.
 
Meh. I got about 10 minutes into the BF3 campaign and couldn't be bothered since. MP is all I care about and want to see.

This looks just like BF3 to me, the engine is pretty much the same. More destruction and better facial animations, but same deal.

For me it looks like the lines of BC1/2 singleplayer. I enjoyed that, and I am looking forward to what they do for this one.

It does look like a more polished FB engine. Small details look a lot better, more particles and the animation for the models while running are much more detailed. Time to wait for E3 or something for MP.
 
waiting for the commander announcement

that pretty much determines whether i buy it or not =/

but damn does that game look good
 
you listening origin/ea ???

So $59.99 tonight for BF4 + first DLC pack, then $59.99 later for 3 more DLC packs + the one you already got in your first $59.99 purchase ?

That is really nasty business. This is a title I enjoy so much I wouldn't want to wait past release to play though. I'll just wait till the day before release and buy then.

They should do something like $79.99 for BF4+Premium as a preorder if anything imo.

79.99 for BF4+Premium - that I will bite.
59.99 BF4+DLC1 then 59.99 DLC2+DLC3+DLC4 - that i will pass.

So annoying.. 🙁

The other big change I would like to see is vehicle respawn, even servers set to 100 just spawn way too fast. there needs to be a consequence to losing the vehicles

If BF4 doesn't have PC features like spectator mode and battlerecorder, I'm not buying it. BF3 is so trash in that regard, I know there was a guy aimbotting just now, but we can't prove it. He's making insane kill shots with the M4 and the type 88, but people are ghosting him and it's inconclusive, though it looks like he's snapping back and forth like crazy in kill cam.

I'll wait a year for BF4+Premium for $50. BF3 and PS2 is enough FPS to hold me over.
 
After getting burned by BF3 "Premium" (with regards to paying twice), I think I'll just play the hell out of 3 until 4 Premium is available at a single cost and covers everything.

This here.

I like BF3 multiplayer, it's not perfect and is missing features from BF2 that could make it better, but it's good. Need to see BF4 MP before deciding on this title.

Fortunately if you paid for Premium you will get access to the BF4 beta without having to preorder BF4. Go into Origin and right click the BF3 icon and choose game details. You should see BF4 beta listed there amongst the DLC/Premium icons.

Really? I hated that they spawned so slow in BF3! Vehicles are so easy to destroy in BF3 especially with 64 players running around that i wanted them to spawn FASTER! Its the biggest mistake in armored kill map that they didnt spawn fast enough! I remember just sitting waiting in the deployment area for vehicles to respawn, so annoying"

If they just fix some of the design decisions they made in BF3, I'd be happy buying BF4. If it's just going to be Flyingfield 3 again, I don't really see the point for us consumers.

Oh, and it'd be nice if they could include a Glock 20 loaded up to max 10mm pressures. Having a sidearm that's both great for close in and far away would be a very nice thing to have...

Kinda feel the same way, but have to admit that Ive certainly gotten my moneys worth out of BF3 Premium considering all the time Ive put into it. I cant say the same for the other two FPS games Ive bought since BF3's release. Ive barely touched Medal of Honor Warfighter or Black Ops 2 in comparison.
