Released today. Anybody got the game yet? Thoughts, impressions, videos or screenshots? I'm picking up my copy for the PC on the way home and going to dive into single player tonight. I want to get through the story mode before I touch multiplayer because I know if I don't I'll never touch story mode again. Can't wait to check out the new maps, guns and vehicles though in multiplayer....

Worked on getting it to play on PC last night.  Finally figured out a 3rd party app I run to remotely connect to my PC from work was hosing it up.  Odd, doesn't mess with any other game.  By the time I found that out, it was bed time.  Will try to play tonight.  I really only joined the test range and it looks good.  I tried running performance test in the options but it won't run, so I wonder if it's bugged out, since I pass recommended requirements by a bit.

 

Should be great though.

Forgot about that. 

 

Have you pre-ordered the next gen yet?

 

I completely flubbed on it, so I'm thinking about camping out on the 14th to get it on the 15th with the little stock they'll receive outside of the pre-orders.

Yeah pre-ordered in June from Amazon. Getting it the 22nd and they waived the shipping!

wow...  I'm such an idiot lol.

 

I've never done the "camp out" thing the night before a release, so it's kind of intimidating...  I'm questioning whether I should just wait until the next wave of stock comes in, but I think if I wait, I may not get one until sometime in 2014.

I doubt that. They'll push a ton of crap out for Christmas.  I think it's just a big hype machine.  There should be enough eventually, I doubt it'll take till next year.

Got it yesterday and I love it.  Granted I was knee deep into some Heinekens but I had a blast.  I really like some of the changes they made to multiplayer (like the little preview of where you're going to spawn).  Didn't really play the maps enough times to really judge them properly but I like the verticality of them.  Also, snipers are really going to earn their kills.  In this game if I get sniped I don't get mad like in COD, because there really isn't any quickscoping.  Not only do you have to adjust for wind, but now you'll have to manually adjust for distance. 

 

I've found that the UI is a bit confusing, especially when trying to switch classes.  Just not as intuitive as it was in the past, but I suppose I'll get used to it.

 

Played about 4 hours of the campaign before I hit multiplayer and it was pretty tight also.  Lots of "oh poo" moments.

Awesome folks!  Enjoy!

 

I'm going to sit out the next gens until they settle a bit more in 2014.  Also, I need a new job first...

 

I also want to see that there are some real improvements other than "moar shinnez!"  Graphics are nice, but is it fun?  Do more shadows and uber textures make it more immersive?  Or does your crap shine more?  I look forward to seeing what the new consoles really do.

Played campaign mode for a few hours last night before the Lakers game started. Didn't get too far into it so I can't really make a ton of comments. Of course it looks incredible, and controls feel tight and responsive on the PC. So far, my favorite gun is the FAMAS, but like I said I'm not very far at all in the story. Played a couple of games of multiplayer with a friend, but really waiting till Friday to dive into it with the double XP this weekend....

Bought it for PS3 yesterday...  I played one round of conquest IIRC.  Don't notice much difference.  Could be that I'm just rusty because I quit playing BF3 quite awhile ago, but I found it to be somewhat disorienting.  I couldn't really see where the enemies were coming from and I got popped from behind multiple times.  My final KDR was 4 to 9.  But, my team won, so that's cool.

 

Also, the customization of your loadouts and soldier's appearance is extremely convoluted IMO.  Seems like they tried to pump in a lot of new stuff and it just comes off confusing to me.  I also don't like this "battlepack" nonsense...  I was willing to buy one individually, but instead, of course, EA wants you to buy up to some "Premium" version of the game for basically the price of an entirely new game at $50.  Bullcrap.

 

Hopefully, the gameplay makes up for these issues.  I remember BF3 being extremely addictive in the unlocking and ranking up process, but so far, I'm not really feeling this like I did BF3.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
