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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
