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.

Yeh that'll run it sweet. Go PC. Cheaper, better controls, better gfx

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.

awesome stuff, its nice to see them add balance to the weapons and soldier class'. It was pretty lame when medics spammed fibs the whole time, and engi's spam ammo crates with people using M320's :/

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.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
