Can someone explain the Tablet feature to me please? Is that an actual Tablet application that connects or was it a touch screen PC of some sort?

Also, they said it was multiplayer but it looked like the opposite team were bots or something. Would be cool to get bot support back! :D

Probably Smartglass. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/smartglass

I don't know all its capabilities or how they differ between the machines but I saw it a few times during the show for launching artillery and stuff.

Did anyone get an alpha key?

 

We all know that BF4 Premium is coming, I just wish they would allow me to purchase it now alongside the game itself.

 

But then they couldn't make more money in selling the limited edition version which will include the first map pack, which you'll get for free in Premium.

 

 

the 64bit only caught my eye :p

 

Where did you get them specs from? I don't get why 8 wouldn't be included lol. Also no word on minimum RAM?

Unfortunately, a lot of my friends did though. Coincidentally all below average players :D Stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/n12_mcflyjesusxd/b/418222679

It's completely daft, that's what it is. I might see if I can just hang on for BF4: Premium Edition.

Specs were in the alpha email. And it's true Windows 8 isn't supported.

Honestly I can't see the difference in graphics between BF4 and BF3?

Probably more in the special effects and lighting than amount of detail...though you can blow up buildings again.  Just looking at the video it seemed that way anyway, and it seemed like Warfighter had better effects overall than BF3 when I was playing em, haven't touched em in a while though.

 

Might be notably bigger maps on PC if they intend to stay 64 bit only, but we'll see.  That would be unexpected, but EA did cut compatibility with dx9 before anyone else.

Implying that not supporting W8 would tank sales. Good joke.

Consider that as far as applications are concerned 7 and 8 are pretty much the same.

 

Consider that high end gamers would be more likely to be on or move to the newer OSes.

 

Consider that if they didn't support 8, why would I expect their software to work on 9 or 10 when I upgrade to that?

 

Consider that new machines are sold with 8.

 

I dunno man, I think you're the only one laughing.

I really hope they allow Windows 8 to work with it.  I just ordered an new PC that comes with 8.   Hmm.  

It'll work, there's no doubt about that. As for the alpha, it may never support Windows 8. The beta is more likely to support it.

I know they will support 8. I don't remember ever saying they won't.

 

Got any proof to backup that second statement? W8 doesn't offer any performance advantage over W7 that isn't a statistical anomaly.

 

Again, where did I say they will not support W8?

 

Consider market share.

 

Thanks for making me laugh harder.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      Lol are you mad because I'm not using AI? I'd rather pay people than lose a bunch of potential customers and get humilated because I used AI. A lot of people won't purchase a game if it used AI during development.
    • LibreWolf 152.0-1

      LibreWolf 152.0-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 152.0-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 152.0 Release Notes Notable changes: The AppImages are now built on Codeberg along with the other releases We have decided to wait a bit longer to enable the settings redesign, due to use being aware of multiple upstream issues Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "I know for a fact I'll never own one of these." This is why choice is better than government regulation. Globaly Android has something like 72% of the smartphone market. Granted the vast majority of that is low end phones. Apple can and should charge whatever they want. The market will decide if it is too much.
