Battlefield 4/CoD Ghosts

[jdhu]

Fellow nerds? Anyone playing one, or both (CoD just out today I guess)?

I bought both, have tried BF4 a bit, not easy at all, getting my ass kicked. I imagine CoD will be more arcade style, which is good and bad.

Favorite classes, weapons?

The gamer in me wants it, but I have a feeling it'll be even more bullshit than MW3. I used to be a HUGE CoD fan (even played in tourneys) and the series has just become a fucking parody of itself.

All the PC tournaments play CoD 4 for a reason.

BF4 looks awesome but unfortunately it doesn't suit my playing style (I was more successful with the run n gun arcadey shit in CoD) and I would probably have to upgrade my computer to play it properly, while Call of Duty is the same rehashed Xbox port with shitty graphics, so I know it'd work just fine.

In terms of classes, I'm best with a fast moving and silent SMG type deal. In MW2 I got so efficient and predicting spawn patterns I could run around in circles and shoot the same guys over and over. Not the best programmed game

I'm getting Ghost for the playstation, which system do you use?

I want Battle to blow up the buildings

I like how they now have adjustable sights for range. Before it was like, why am I using a sniper rifle zeroed at like 50 yards? The idea of getting a 20x scope and camping in the top floor of some derelict building, hiding prone on a table, and sniping people from a half mile away sounds fucking rad.

But then again, everyone will be doing it

They already made one...

I have a PS3. I used to be a PC-only gamer (mouse/keyboard SO superior to thumbstick), but since most of my friends played on console, I made a switch.

BF4 is fun, but I just suck. Then again, I only started getting decent in BF3 when I got some weapons/upgrades.

Even if CoD is mainly rehash, I'm ok with it, because arcade-style is kind of fun, especially when you squad up and have headphones, etc. I mainly camp in CoD haha, not a run/gunner.

After reading reviews and watching game play i am buying neither until they go on sale. I know Gamestop is having a $30 BF4 deal for Black Friday but I haven't heard about a sale for Ghost's yet.

It used to be fun, problem is the games feel so completely lacking of polish and finesse. I played MW3 a good bit, and it was like, spawn, shoot a guy, get shot, repeat. There's no strategy, they've dumbed it down for mouthbreathing 12 year olds on Xbox. The spawn system and balance is all wrong.

I understand that it's basically DESIGNED for Xbox, and on the PC, it has the unintended effect of playing out much faster due to efficiency of the controls, but I'm not hopeful they'll make any meaningful changes.

I do like how it's possible to abuse the matchmaking system though. Thanks for taking away public servers

Not buying COD, undetermined on BF4, didn't really like BF3 all that much but not sure if it was the game or that I'm just burned out on mulitplayers. Not going to buy a COD until they do another WW2 shooter

Yeah, that is why I dislike run/gun, because as you say, you spawn, run a bit, get 1-2 kills, then die.

My clan (lol) and I have nice headsets, we communicate, and we dominate specific sections of maps. Our win/loss ratio is literally like 25 to 1.

A game that is well-designed doesn't suffer from that. In MW2 I could get a nuke pretty much every match if I wanted... I was more skilled, and I could utilize that skill to win, like how games are meant to be played.

But they have determined games sell better when they aren't fair so people who suck don't feel like they suck. Almost every player I've seen in MW3 had a KDR close to 1. Mine was like 2.8, and that was still really really low for me. In MW2 it's like 5.5

I only play free-for-all because impossible to win if you're camping. Or at least it should be.

Wow, solid ratio. I am like 1.3 to 1 (so, aligned with your theory). I never played MW3. It's interesting though, it seems like Battlefield DOES suit your style, if you dislike the "equalizing" gameplay in some CoDs.

All of this talk makes me want to go home and "wreck shop" (such a dumb term).

Been playing BF4 since the beginning of the beta and I gotta say WOW WHAT AN AWESOME GAME. They really did a number on the game again and it looks/feels amazing. With that being said the current state of the servers is complete shit. It is very hard to complete a game without it crashing to desktop or freezing up. Once they get that under control the game will be amazing once again. The beta ran smooth so I can understand why people who didn't get a chance to play the beta are upset.

I have support maxed out and I am currently working on engineer.

COD well what is there to say? There always has to be the little brother to the bigger game. COD owns the console systems and with that tons of people that want that style of gameplay which is vastly diffreent from BF4.

COD will do well on the console and sell millions. BF4 will do well on the PC and sell millions but to try and compare the two would be like trying to compare old school games like Quake vs. Tom Clany. They are both FPS but come at it from different angles making them completly different.

I feel as though you think a K/D ratio actually means something in the game which it doesn't. Wins mean something because you get points for them. You don't get points for fewer deaths. The idea behind both of these games is to capture and control or blow up objs, not to stay alive the longest and have the most kills. Anyone over time can do that and both of these games don't present any sort of skill mastery. It's run and gun for a reason.

Yeah, wasn't BF3 the first game truly designed for PC, with consoles as an afterthought?

I thought BF4 beta sucked, slow, choppy, etc. Don't seem to have those problems with the actual game.

Jeez, maxed out support? THe game has been out for 6 days!

What weapons you prefer, both support and eng?

Beta was indeed slow and choppy at times with dumbed down graphics. The release is even worse but looks amazing. I am actually running it in high with a GTX560TI and its smooth.

good god the pkp is awesome sauce along with the m240b however these weapons are best when combined with a silencer. It does knock down the damage a bit but if I surprise your squad and start dropping 200 rounds down range then there isn't much you can do about it.

For Engineer I would go with any carbine. However I am enjoying the RPK but who uses a gun as an engineer. Rockets are the gun of choice!

Honestly I wish consoles would up and die. They are destroying the gaming world as we know it with their walled in gardens of Eden and mega push to make as much money as possible. With that being said I kinda get a chubby waiting for the Steam Box.

OK sweet, thanks. I remember loving the A-91, F2000 and MTAR from BF3, and from CoD BO2, I LOVE the AN-94. But ok cool, my squad needs a support guy anyway.

Support gets c-4!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea why on earth you would give support c-4 with the ability to ammo pak. For example in the beginning you get a MX25 auto grenade launcher. Totally awesome for 4 rounds and then your out of ammo but drop an ammo box and just hole up in a building raining 203 rounds on everyone. Now imagine that but with c-4. Why would I want another class?


Peep my Emblem. Anyone know what it is? Took 45 mins to make!
