Sweet! I hated having to die or steal another persons kit when I needed to change mine. Sometimes being a Recon/Sniper no longer cuts it when you have enemy helicopters trying to blow you up.

excaliburps4313d ago

Same! I hate it when I'm a Medic and the team desperately needs someone to take out tanks! Good move by DICE, I reckon.

Also, being able to play BF4 while outside is nice! I can play it while the wife's out shopping! :D

LOL_WUT4313d ago

I usually went around knifing people if I ended up choosing the wrong loadout. And man did I get a lot of hatemail ;)

I wish there was a commander rating system that couldn't be negatively abused.

No down voting, but if they did a really good job you give them a +1 or something.

That way nobody abused it just because they are butthurt at not being able to be commander that round, but also, more importantly, rewards a really good commander who has awareness and knows what he/she is doing.

slazer1014313d ago

Or when the kit decides to change itself when respawning. Man that chaps my ass.

This makes me wish I had an iPad. I'm not sure if you can even do this on an iPhone, but even if you can, it will be too small of a screen.

I'd love to set a tablet on my lap and overview an entire 64-player match as the commander.

I think paired with voice chat (obviously) you could get really really tactical. Especially if you're playing with a clan or a tight knit group who are willing to trust your judgment and attack when and where and how you command it.

excaliburps4313d ago

Seriously considering getting a Nexus 7 just to be able to play Commander while out of the house. :D Can you imagine having a good Commander on your team? They can change the tide of a match with loops.

JunioRS1014313d ago

Exactly!!

And I hate to make a comparison to CoD, but it would be cool if there was some type of commander reward system where you can earn a UAV scan and look down over the screen as a digital plane flies over and reveals where the enemy icons pop up!

That would be so cool. I think I would make a good commander.

excaliburps4313d ago

There is! Read the post as it states one of the "loops" is:

-Two types of Map Scans – Vehicle and Infantry Scan, used for long-term highlighting of enemy units on the map for your team.

Bam! =)

When I see this feature now. All I can think is how awesome MAG was. So ahead of it's time and on the PS3. It had leadership command feature like this and as we all know, 256 player Domination games.

Aztec_MC4313d ago

Meh.

Back in my days, you conserved your ammo & had to re-supply with a dead man's Kit, and WE LIKED IT!!!

just more dirt to bury cod with.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1181d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501180d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1180d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1180d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1180d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1181d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1180d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881180d ago (Edited 1180d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331180d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881180d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1180d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
