All I see is that you're complaining because the new mechanics for revive caused infinite revive spam to get removed and no infinite tank ammo....but yet you want a hardcore mode...
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

I always felt the player ran too fast in BF3. They slowed it down in BF4 which gives you the feeling the map is larger, takes more time to get around which I like.
For me BF3 missed that BF2 feeling...With BF4, Squading up with running with a group of Tanks over the last few weeks brought me closer to the BF2 feel in some aspects. Throw in the commander and we have a winner. I've enjoyed the crap out of this Beta and can't wait for the official release.
I had this on preorder at Green Man Gaming, but I submitted a support ticket last night to cancel & get a refund. I put ~22 hours into the beta. I spent time unlocking all the weapons I could, played the different classes, etc. It was a lot of fun.
That being said, I want to be 100% sure they fix the crashes before I spend $60 on the game. I got confirmation from a few others while playing that I'm not the only one with periodic crashes on the killcam, but there would be times where 3-4 times in a row, the game would crash. I'm not dropping $60 on something that doesn't run properly.
I'll probably wait and see if it goes on sale around black Friday like it did last year. If I can pick it up for $30-35, I'll probably do so, and hopefully they have the remaining kinks worked out by then. Otherwise, I guess I'll be waiting til everyone else already has the cool guns
As I think about it more, I mind the tank reloads less. Instead of the tank being this infinite ammo spewing behemoth, launching tank shells at any random bush or single infantryman, you use the MG for infantry and the main gun for armor. I think it could create a bit of a better balance between the vehicles and infantry.
This was forced on the community because there were so many armor whores that just camped in armor and couldn't do shit else and infantry at times where helpless. This is a balance measure. While unrealistic it gives the infantry a fighting chance. I say bravo. If you (not specifically you twisted) complain it's because you're a tanker whore.

"While unrealistic"? What's unrealistic about tanks not having an inexhaustible supply of ammo? Eventually you run out of shells.
I was speaking in terms of a different loading speed inexplicably out of nowhere. But I believe we are on the same side of the table here.

Same with attack heli's on the rockets
I played a tad more yesterday. I did have a blast at times. Although I forgot that you start with very little "fun" toys until you level up things.
The engineer starter gun with Acog and handle upgrade thingy makes it a fairly nice gun.
But can you switch seats mid-flight in the helos to rain down tv guided missles...
At work so I haven't had the chance to log in today to check, so is the beta done?
Sure if you want to be an easy target for the enemy's TV missile and everything else on the map. Not to mention attack boats will have TV missiles. If you've got leftover butthurt from BF3, well get it out of your head because that has little bearing in BF4. Its a whole new game with totally rebalanced vehicles and unlocks for anti-vehicle. Stop being a victim.
yes.
140logged hours in bf4 beta ton of fun

6 years bf2.
2 years and only 200 hours bf3 (hated it)

Crap! I was enjoying it too.
around 10hrs/day
you sir are hardcore.
There seemed to always be a certain lvl of frustration with lag in BF3 that I could never really enjoy the game too long before raging. Same thing was present in one of the later BF2 patches where missiles would fly through objects and it would take multiple tries to reload a gun (this was the time I switched to COD). BF4 on the other hand has been a smooth experience.
Yea, some friends along the way helped
I liked the map IMO best in the BF series last 13 years.
well designed, multiple tactics, can hide tank from chopper etc..
houses could be good spotting places and the tower taken down, I found it really well made with multiple tactics.
netcode is improved, still need to find a server where latency works for you.
low ping for me and I get one shotted, 40-60 and I was immortal (almost)
mechanics was good, tanks good machine gun for inf, shots reload made you save them for good shots. a good squad was hard to beat and required effort.
Its just better but time to kill is too fast still, I would like that to be increased a bit more.
not enough skill needed to kill IMO.
at age 49 soon 50 I find it fun and much better overall than BF3.
still called cheater by the kids.
many roof wookies but its the way many want to play and levolution brings that to stop for most. team with those looses.
with friends and a squad we did have a great deal of fun.
look forward retail

- Hey DICE, do you hate medics? Do you? We now have like 2.5 seconds to revive a dead guy. Stop that nonsense! Of the 40 or so hours I plopped into the beta, I kid you not, I was revived FOUR times. Each time I'm like, what is this goofy accept/reject menu? Did my game just crash? It's a crying shame that paddles are just .... gone from this game. Add to that they don't work 100%, either. Sad, sad, sad.
Yeah its called no more medic "revive trains." Nothing worse in BF3 than mowing down 5-6 guys and they're all back up 2 seconds later thanks to unlimited instant-revive spam. Now killing someone actually means it.
But it's still too ridiculous the way they have it now. They've gimped the "team" role that the assault holds way too much. Now, the only thing you're good for pretty much is healing yourself, and that doesn't promote teamwork. BF3 was too much on the revive goodness, but BF4 beta was too little. There definitely needs to be a balance between the two.
