First Impressions

Use this thread to discuss your first impressions of Battlefield 4.

[Nix]

I starting playing SP on the 32-bit executable.
Did not crash once, I assume it would be the same for MP.
Works on MP, crashed twice in 3 hours. Not bad.

Famas my love, wait for me!
Im coming darling.

You can drive the russian transport trucks in the first mission, it was quite hilarious to drive over all the russians.

only played one round of MP and I crashed there

All the "minimaps"

Delta flag on Golmud railway is a train and moves towards the uncap of the team holding it!

both companies recently released updated drivers. download them, I'm having horrible stuttering on the BF4 beta release from earlier in october that was perfectly stable for me during the beta.

otherwise I'm liking the half round I played. updating my driver now, will return after I play some more.

hangs, "stopped working" and crashes all the time.
besides that, tanks and LAVs can kill infantry efficiently now.
basic/first RPG you get (MBT LAW) sucks. cant make rear damage, when the missile arcs to hit the vehicle it can hit a building or a sign and deal no damage (or sometimes deal 4 damage). pfft.
need to get used to infantry play. people seem to insta-kill me even when im anticipating their movements. seems im getting more bullets into the target from the hip then ADS on close targets.

Plus the two different jets!

If you're getting lagging/stuttering/sluggish gameplay performance: it may be caused by a glitch with battlelog.

ALSO: JDAM dumb-fire bomb for jets!!!!

apparently per that thread dice disabled the effect hours ago. Still getting no better than 35 fps average on HD7850 with most recent drivers, with horrible stuttering and it's basically unplayable.

will come back tomorrow to see if it's better/day 1 patch/more updated drivers/not using VPN for origin login/etc.

CRAZY good performance, around 100 stable frames per second with a i5 3570k @ 4.3 Ghz and a GTX 670 on high.

Stunning graphics.

Not a single boring map.

Agile scout choppers.

Attack jets on Conquest (JDAM is sick)

Higher turning speed for jets.

Putting up a video tomorrow of all the highlights I had today with snookfingers, mesh, giggles, corranhorn and all those crazy guys. Also a video showcasing the JDAM against MAA ("TUNGUSKA U SEE NO MORE.")

What can I say? I already played 10 rounds of RUSH and just enjoyed them all.
Already took down 2 choppers with the mighty chinese tank!

Performance

-Better than BF 3
-No crash
-No FPS drops
-Extremely good FPS even when recording

Gameplay

Is it just me or the game looks like BC2 + BF3?
So far Im liking the gunplay. I guess we'll have to wait and see when everybody has all the unlocks, guns, etc.
MAA = OP. I basically took down everything on my path, LAV, JEEPS, HELIS, INF.
MBT = (y u no add heart thingydingy)
Tried to fly the scout heli (then realized there were 2 jets behind me) and the controls seem different than BF3. I used to turn left and right easily, idk, Im bad, so that may be why.
Good maps so far. (didn't played them all)

Only thing I don't like, but I guess time will tell, is that it's quite hard to see enemies in some terrains, like some russian soldiers in the jungle, or some chinese (?) that wear black clothes.

I GIFF GAEM 9/10
