Thread: EA at E3 Streaming Live right now. BF4

Vehical auto heal is also back.

3rd person infantry view.

Just saw something, theres a med bag and like a little med pouch, not sure what it does.

And it seems like theres red and blue teams, so if your red force, don't shoot the red triangles.

More flags you get, the more assets your commander gets. certain flags.

Dropping the skyscraper, changes the visability of the rest of the map. Alot of dust and ash.

Commander can also select a player and see what they see

Think i just saw some sort of a flash bang, not sure.

Big white markers in multiplayer let you know right were gernades are.

Gunship is manned by players, after the skyscrapper came down you couldn't see much from the gun cam.

Counter attack is all about being quick on the F key to turn it around.

I think that may be a script that is said when the Commander issues an order. I'll believe VoIP when I hear someone say,

"What the fuck! He's hacking!"

... Something that isn't scripted anyway.

All this footage on spectator mode. Not only is that freakin awesome its just one more tool for TPG to keep the peace in server. VOIP is obviously very important we all want it but for me I only play on TPG and we have a great TS system so a lack of VOIP I don't think will be a deal breaker for me.

I don't know about all that being able to command from a tablet thing lol. How relevant is that to us really as well? Most of the hardcore guys usually only invest their cash into their rig. I know I do at least.

Looks like squad parks are earned by following orders, ala bf2142.

We know Kanati will be the only one playing Commander from his tablet.

You don't have to command from a tablet, but i give you the ability to play anywhere in some manor. What I want to know is any log in conflicts, say I want to storm around in a tank this round and command the next with my tablet, do I need to log off on my comp and then log back in on the tablet to find out the server is full?

One thing we know EA is super good at is Hype. So.....take this all with a grain of salt.

Commander may only be for VIP holders and Ps4 only...
Perhaps a completely Separate game/subscription is required for Commander mode.
MAybe this is a Console only release...

That would break the game. That is something I believe is a whole new level of evil that I don't think EA is capable of and frankly probably impossible to do at this stage. Sure take it with a grain of salt I always do but don't be outlandish :P. Since this is pre-alpha I am very scared that the game will change a lot and not for the better.
