You can also use vpn to play early. My game unlocks at 8am CST with vpn ^_^

If you wish to vpn unlock then use this thread, pretty easy to follow. http://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/1pbx9o/bf4_best_way_to_get_early_access_using_proxy_all/

Can confirm this is working. Played now for about two hours.

Even had my twitch account banned, because I streamed the game too early... and found out that twitch allowed to stream the game after it happened :D

Well a somewhat disappointing console situation. PC clear winner and XB1/PS4 both muddling along according to polygon and eurogamer. 

 

PS4 - higher res, worse textures, more washed out picture, unstable multiplayer

XB1 - lower res, crisper textures, more saturated, nobody knows about multiplayer

 

Both have pop-in, both have decent FPS, PS4 2fps higher. XB1 has Kinect, another unknown quantity. 

 

Both reviews seem to heavily imply that XB1 code especially was not final code, and definitive answers are coming in ~3 weeks. Back to the waiting game for consoles I guess.

Just played some on PC. I'm impressed with the optimizations since the beta. On my amd 6950 I can now play it with all "high" settings, and with vsync on and get a smooth 45-60 fps with no drops. Thats even better performance than I got on BF3 with a mix of high/medium with vsync off. Very well optimized game. Only problem I've had so far is graphics flickering on the killcam.

I was watching some console comparison footage. Actually I think both of them look pretty damn good, and I can't really tell any substantial difference between XB1 and PS4. Sure, youtube and it's 30fps and compression degrades quality but it still looks very good. Now back to my PC :)

Why does it not say that I'm Premium anywhere in Origin or battlelog? Anyone else?

Dude, come on. I got what you were saying, but whatever your translating thru. Its awful!! That or you need to get to school some... a bit... a lot.. fact just stay there!

It would be nice if console and pc could play together, espec as its next gen consoles. However, as a console gamer I wouldnt play against pc players with a gamepad, and expect it to be fair.

Quake 3 on dreamcast / pc showed us that way way back in the day. Analogue sticks = handicap against Mouse.

Not something Id want popping up in BF tbh.

Anyone else think the LAW rocket is the dumbest weapon imaginable? It isn't super powerful but it doesn't require aiming....When in a vehicle fighting infantry if you don't kill them in under 2 seconds you WILL take a rocket hit.  What a stupid game design decision.

 

This game is based around infantry game play first to please the newer fanbase who have converted from you know where. It's been that way since BF3.

I was pretty impressed with how well it ran last night. I was expecting some issues, but the game ran pretty well.

 

One issue I noticed was environmental sounds went mute occasionally. I could hear people and guns, but all other sounds weren't present.

How are you guys playing it when it doesn't come out until 1st November? 

 

1st is for the UK.

 

If you use VPNs etc you can play it in a released timezone.

 

SimpleCDKeys told me today my key will be with me today... not seen it yet though...

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.

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

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
