Preorders are up on Origin.

System specs not yet announced heh.

[reap3r]

this should be a service-pack/patch not a new game.

Umm, why? BF3 will have been released two years ago.

This, Most modern FPS games are like this

[.Markus]

That looks friggin amazing! Just love the attention to the smallest of details!

[Boz]

If those 17 minutes of BF4 gameplay don't leave you speechless I don't know what will.

[Dotdot]

Cant wait. Looks utterly epic and the little piece of story already sounds way better than the BF3 campaign.

As said above the details are amazing. Really want to see the MP in action tho, as hey its BF.

Will deffo be sticking a pre-order down for this one.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Wow! That is the best graphics I've ever seen for a video game. I can't wait to play the campaign. It looks much more emotional than Battlefield 3.

[trag3dy]

Single player campaign. Why waste your time DICE? It will be just as forgettable as BF3's. No one buys battlefield games for single player. :pinch:

One thing that looks noticeably improved are explosions and smoke though. It's hard to say what else has changed since BF3 from the video.

That doesn't mean they shouldn't try.

I'm blown away. I don't get hyped for games too often, especially... ESPECIALLY FPS games. I'm excited though! :D

I wouldn't pay for a multi only game.

[TheLegendOfMart]

?54 for digital deluxe on Origin, pass.

[trag3dy]

I would. Maybe they could make a multiplayer only version for $10-15 less. A man can dream.

I am suddenly remembering Brink =) Of course, now that I can play Brink on my connection, noone else is o.o

[Chicane-UK Veteran]

I was hoping to see some of the multiplayer as that's all I play of Battlefield 3.. I'm sure I'll end up buying this but not sure I can be bothered with pre-ordering.

And yes I would pay for a multiplayer-only version of the game with the single player element stripped out!

[trag3dy]

Fair point. But I should also point out that Counterstrike 1.6 was and still is the most competitive fps game ever played and it had 0 single player campaign (if you don't count HL1). And then most of the older Battlefield games all were without any sort of single player.

There are two sides to that coin. Of course if they chose not to make a campaign that doesn't necessarily mean the multiplayer would be better as well, I'm willing to concede that point.

[TheLegendOfMart]

Why are people whining about single player, they have to include it to combat CoD, BF2 could afford not to have SP because CoD4:MW wasn't out back then.

I did :laugh: it wasn't bad [bF3], but not worth the money if your not interested in the multiplayer (which I'm not). I won't be making the same mistake again with BF4 though!

[MikeChipshop Member]

Looks great and i'm looking forward to it. Graphics and engine look vastly improved and hopefully they'll have taken on a few of the flaws of BF3, which was a fantastic game.

We all know a lot of the team work intricacies were removed from BF3 but that aside, it was still plain awesome.

Looking forward to some multi-player footage.

[0nyX]

Looks great but i dont know abt the single player.Maybe it should have been like BF2 single player which is in reality offline multiplayer with bots.

[TheLegendOfMart]

What have they done to the epic DUNDUNDUN DUN DUN DUN from BF3, just BRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZRZRZZRZZZZZZZDUNDUNDUNZZZZZZZZZZRRRZZZZZZZRZZZZZZ in BF4.

BF3

[the better twin]

Story looks completely uninteresting. Hard to get excited about this after BF3 which wasnt great.

Looks more like an updated B3. I would rather it had more development time and was next gen only rather than cross gen as im sure they would be able to do more if they didnt have the woeful specs of the PS3 and Xbox 360 holding them back.

BF3 for the 360/PS3 was notably different from the PC ver. I'm rather curious if the differences are greater this time.

We shall see.
