I am having a hard time deciding which copy to pre-order. I can get the XBox One copy, or the PC copy. I would like the PC copy but for optimal requirements DICE recommends ATI HD7000+. I have a ATI HD6950 2GB Frozr III. Would that be enough?

Yes.  But with the X1 copy you won't have to worry about what servers are good or drivers or any of that jazz.

 

Your call.  I haven't decided yet myself, but I'm looking more towards the X1 ver.

Ugh. 360 or PC? I don't know. 360 cause I have it. PC cause I want to play with 50-60 people again.

I wonder. I can run BF3 on high/ultra on my rig. With a GT 650. What do you's think I'd get bf 4 at with it? High? I'd be ok with that. Maybe after Christmas pick up a better card.

Is this on console? Never experienced this on PC. close to 700hours played.

Me neither.

 

And if you guys know anyone in Mexico, I'd write to them and ask them to purchase BF4 for you. **** is cheaper over there: http://i.imgur.com/prmoF1l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QxcN1dF.jpg

(A Mexican proxy/vpn will work too)

 

edit: Those are peso and no dollar signs in the receipt screenshots :D

Have you guys read about the changes that they made to reloading and reviving?

Reloading is now like this: You want to reload and your character pulls the magazine out. While that happens you see an enemy and quickly pull out your pistol. The reload position is then being saved so when you get back to your gun, the magazine is still out and the character puts a new one in by pressing reload.

And Medic Trains are a thing of the past now. A quick revive gives the revived player 20% health and a 4 seconds charge of the defib gives the revived player 100% health. The medic now has the ability to load his defib. up like they do irl by rubbing both pads against each other. A medic can get 3 revives per spawn out of his power back. That means medics now have to think carefully about who and how they revive someone.

The later is the one that's going to be the biggest change to the classes if you ask me. It'll also take some time to get used to it but it's a welcoming change if you ask me.

I guess you mean the support class with "ammo crates"? I believe that can still happen :p But yeah, balancing classes like they're doing is welcoming!

For everyone? That will give me an idea what I can run it at. Buy it for PC or 360.

The info about the open beta is all here: All-New MP Footage, Open Beta Details, BF4 Premium Announced :)

Open beta is usually free to play for everyone though.

Yeah this rocks. Maybe it will limit all the spawn die, spawn die, spawn die moments. :)

That's what I was thinking as well! And it would make players more careful on the field as well knowing that they might not get revived as fast.

You mean I can't get 100000's of points by reviving people over and over and over and over! :) jk! 

 

The medic changes are a great idea, looking forward to getting my hands on this game. 

 

Interested to see how sniping will be this time round.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Microsoft Eyes DeepSeek V4 for Copilot Cowork: What Azure Hosting Cannot Fix

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
