I just wish they'd let you fully customize your character. I hated the camo system for BF3. I wanted the digital forest (Cadpat that should of been for the Americans) but I wasn't a fan of the American side of the camo. Give us the option to choose everything. Different faces, skin tones. Make unlockables for all the gear. Choose from different helmets, tac vests, gloves, boots, pants, etc.

One day, my friend. One day. That would be like Battlefield 10.

Aren't games under some kind of license when they make put guns in their games?

I miss the power drill and the big beefy looking guns that took up half the screen

AMD reveals the $4,000 PC that ran Battlefield 4 at E3
23
The PCs that powered BF4 at E3 retailed close to $4,000 each, and featured an 8 core CPU and dual HD 7970 graphics cards.

JUNE 15TH, 2013 IN NEWS
AMD and DICE are partnering for Battlefield 4, as AMD’s Radeon card ran the very first singleplayer demo we saw a few months back. Now it’s been revealed that AMD supplied over 64 ultra high-end PCs for the E3 show floor.
AMD has revealed the PC hardware that powered Battlefield 4 at E3, and they’re quite expensive machines — the gaming PCs were some of the most powerful ever made, and each would retail close to $4,000.
On the CPU side, they sported an FX 8350 CPU, which has 8 cores and runs at 4 GHz, paired with 12 GB of DDR3 RAM.
On the graphics card side, the gaming rigs featured dual Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards in Crossfire setup. Those cards retail for $1,000 a piece, and feature 6 GB RAM each.
All that powerful hardware made sure that Battlefield 4 ran at a steady, smooth framerate at the highest settings during the show. And we’re sure DICE had quite a power bill at the end of E3.
AMD also released a photo of the fancy gaming rig, which you can find below:

New details about Battlefield 4 commander selection process
10
Players will join a special queue in Battlelog to become Commanders of a team, and can be voted off by squad leaders.

JUNE 16TH, 2013 IN NEWS

We were pleasantly surprised when DICE unveiled the new Battlefield 4 commander feature. And even more surprised when it turned out that the Commander didn’t count towards the 64 players, so in effect, Battlefield 4 supports 66 players.
But a few questions arose with a system like that: how do players apply to be Commanders, and what happens when a Commander is kicked out by his team? Does he get booted off the server? Apparently, he does.
DICE answered some of the questions via Twitter regarding the Commander selection process, saying that players will have to queue in Battlelog to be Commanders on a team. In fact, it won’t be based on rank like in previous version (BF2/2142). In Battlefield 4, you simply join the Commander queue in Battlelog and wait to get picked.
If a Commander isn’t doing a good job, squad leaders will be able to initiate a vote to kick the Commander off the team and replace him with someone else.
The Commander in Battlefield 4 will be playable on tablets such as iPads, which will connect to a game server with no need for a PC or games console. The Commander feature will be supported on all platforms.

So all you people that want to be commander on a clan server forget it...all servers that have a bunch of friends playing on it, well, same lol

Hehe, it reminds me of the mortar or artillery units from Bc1. "Get off that mortar, I want to use it!"

Is it safe to assume that rented servers will be back?

Is that how they do it?

I'm assuming. Don't you play on console?

All Frostbite 3 Titles to Ship Optimized Exclusively for AMD
AMD racks up another win.
June 18, 2013
by Scott Lowe
Amidst the fray of E3 reveals and gameplay demos, EA announced a new partnership with AMD that could tip the scales for the chip maker's Radeon graphics cards. Starting with the release of Battlefield 4, all current and future titles using the Frostbite 3 engine — Need for Speed Rivals, Mirror's Edge 2, etc. — will ship optimized exclusively for AMD GPUs and CPUs. While Nvidia-based systems will be supported, the company won't be able to develop and distribute updated drivers until after each game is released.

With PC gamers demanding peak performance, exclusive optimization partnerships have served as a critical battleground between Nvidia and AMD. In the past, Nvidia had held a tight grip on the market, but over the past year, the company has lost several significant titles to AMD, including Tomb Raider, Crysis 3, and others. To make matters worse for Nvidia, AMD is now the sole graphics supplier for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U, guaranteeing a baseline performance edge for all titles developed with console as the lead platform.
With Nvidia passing up the opportunity to power the next-gen consoles and focusing heavily on its Tegra platform, AMD is making big moves to regain control of the desktop gaming market. Can Nvidia defend its stake as the current market leader?

 

[snappahead]

Is that how they do it?

I'm assuming. Don't you play on console?

I did. I stopped shortly after rented servers showed their ugly heads. The same three maps all day long? Check! One million ticket counts? Check! Impossible to find just a normal game of Conquest? Check! Ugh. I know they make EA good money, but their the worst thing to ever happen to BF IMO.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I hate rented servers, but i can find regular games just fine

 

[kain4521]

The Josh rented servers one time and we had a blast. We set it up as normal rush with the all the maps in rotation.

A big addition to Battlefield 4 multiplayer is the new Spectator mode. The spectator mode gives players the ability to spectate any soldier on the map, in addition to a free-flowing camera and even first and third person views of other players.
The Spectator mode in Battlefield 4 will be a much welcomed feature to the E-sports community. Developer DICE has previous commented that they are very interested in E-sports, which explains the addition to the Spectator.
The spectator mode features 5 different free-cams, which players can customize and position anywhere on the map. Players will be able to spectate any match in Battlefield 4, regardless whether the server is full or not.
The Spectator mode also supports the “table-top” view seen by the Battlefield 4 Commander. The Commander is another one of the additions to Battlefield 4, where one player on each side is tasked with leading his/her team in the battlefield.

Damn, that looks good!
