If the next xbox isnt backward compatible ill be pissed. Im in no way a pc gamer i much prefer the feeling of playing with a controller (i know you can on pc but likely to get whipped by everyone with a mouse) |

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not completely compatible, the 360 isn't except for emulation of a small amount of games and the same goes for the PS3 playing PS2 games, and the PS4 isn't going to play PS3 games. |

Well put it this way, if you bought it for 360 to play before the 720 comes out and it actually does have backward compatibility, I'd be very surprised it online worked... and if it did you would be playing with 360 players not 720 as it will be a completely different game than on the 720 due to hardware. |

Just got done playing a couple rounds of the beta on my PS3 (pre-ordered BF4 on PC but because I have premium on BF3 on the PS3 I get the beta on that as well) and it seems pretty good. My biggest gripe is they've fucked around with the controls (won't be a problem on PC as I can just reassign them) with no option to have it the same as BF3, for example the grenade used to be on the right trigger but that's now for spotting and the grenade is on the left, which used to be for knifing but that's now on circle, which used to be for getting into and exiting vehicles and picking up weapons, the latter which is now on triangle (along with toggle weapon which is what BF3 had) and I couldn't even figure out how to jump out of a heli I spawned in (just held a load of buttons until it worked). Also holding select used to bring up the scoreboard (pressing was for spotting) but now it just brings up some shitty version of Battlelog (only shows friends and some weird "missions" thing) no matter what you do. Also the customisation screen seems a bit shit for console, might be able to get used to it (not that I'll have any need to), instead of just clicking on shit you have to press the arrow buttons to select and option that you want to change, a different direction to change the option, and then the opposite of the first direction to go back. Also spawning is shitty on console, trying to select a spawn point by moving the cursor on the map instead of scrolling through the options like BF3. One last console thing is the sensitivity is really fucking low for some reason, like it'd probably take you a good 4 seconds to turn all the way round at the default 20%. I ended up at 40% in the final match and only then started playing half decently, would've likely ended up going over 50% to match how I had it in BF3. Gonna give it a go on PC in a little bit. Had to update my graphics drivers (fuck knows why Catalyst stopped doing it automatically), it crashed on me when I tried playing before doing that so hopefully that was the problem. EDIT: Literally just got less than 10 seconds into a game and it closed due to running out of RAM, definitely going to have to move up to 16GB soon. For now I've closed about 20 tabs in Chrome but still hovering around 3.5GB usage. One issue I do have that I really hope they fix is it still take a year and a half to join a server and get the game running, fuck knows why they can't just have the game running all the time like on console instead of using this browser based Battlelog shit. EDIT2: Played one match, didn't go too terribly considering I have played an FPS with a mouse in quite a while. Somehow managed to get my graphics card up to 90°C though when it would barely go above 60°C when stress testing so something's definitely wrong and urgently needs fixing. I know the loop needs topping up as I can hear some air bubbles going through it but I wouldn't have thought it'd make that large a difference, perhaps I've messed with my fan speed at some point and not realised.

Had a good few games on it now, It's a lot more laggy than BF3 was in Beta, but less buggy from what I've seen and a lot less polished than BF3 Beta was. Apart from that, I like the small changes they've made here and there. Multi optical zoom scopes, your player leans with walls which is more realistic. Helicopters seems to handle a little bit better and more realistic when firing. Love the attack boats ! Shame its plagued with lag. Can't wait for it to be released. |

Do you mean the frame rate dropping? That's a common problem which I've also experienced, but when it runs smoothly I get like 50fps+ so in the final game I should be getting 60+ most of the time. Also apparently the beta isn't actually the latest one as they had to submit an older version to Microsoft and Sony as it takes so long for it to be accepted, not sure if it's the same one on PC. Can't say I've noticed any actual lag on the PS3 unlike BF3 where there was shit loads of rubber banding. As for PC I've only been able to play about 2 games, whenever I try now it just won't connect to the EA servers and before that it would get stuck at the loading screen (I could hear stuff and view the map on Battlelog in my browser), so I just give up and play on the PS3 instead. |

From what I've been able to find out the likely cause I've my issue is because I have multiple soldiers, one for my PS3 account and one for PC. The solution they suggest is to set a different one to active in the "edit profile" bit and then try joining a server, but of course with one being on the PS3 it can't do that and even if it did I don't want to play on the console, and setting the PC one to active causes the error. The only solution seems to be having the other soldiers deleted, which would mean I wouldn't be able to play on the PS3 and you have to phone EA to have this done. Really considering trying to cancel my preorder somehow and just get it on PS3 instead, don't think I can handle all this shit on the PC version (having to use Origin, having to use Battlelog to join matches, and then this stupid bug). |

Your really going to choose PS3 over PC because you have to use Origin and Battlelog... The bug will obviously get fixed, its still only a Beta remember. Im getting absolutely appalling FPS whether I run it on Ultra at 1080p or Low at 800x600 or whatever the lowest res is. But still I'm not saying fuck it lol... You can't let a few little bugs on a Beta influence your choice in cancelling your order. The benefit having it on PC over PS3 far outweighs any negatives at the moment. |

Sucks that you cant change the grenade lucher to rocket luncer on that support perk. The amo box is useless with that grenede lucher gun or what ever it is on that support perk. Game runs on my pc well. As much as i have looked my fps, then it goes to 40 in low or 35 to 30. I like the map but i want to have rocket luncher on my support so i can reload rockets. Or would be nice for c4. Just sucks cause there are skilled copter drivers and you cant do nothing ageinst them. Same with the tank's. I am waiting for a hard core mode and hope it will come on beta. This right now just sucks. Sniper takes you down from other side of the map with one shot and if i do it i cant even see them and if i hit them i dont kill them like that. That battlelog system sucks already from bf3. And it takes like 2-3 min to get in game like that. I dont know why for me it is so slow. I have the game on SSD The best thing would be to have one more map in beta, but that will never happen. And i have played it a lot over the last 9 days, since it comed out as closed beta for bf3 premium edition owners and for pre order people. |

Its not the Battlelog system which is slow, it will be your PC or internet connection. On average its taken me less than 30 seconds every time to enter a game. |
