I wanna say after playing more of the MP.... that certain stages seem to be using lower settings then others and although still close to the pc are less close then that tad I noticed the other day.

excuse the sh!tty quality, it was taken with my cell phone, and it was not easy holding phone and trying to use mouse.
Anyway, it shows my settings, I move mouse around quickly so you could see fps during movement, I show my pc hardware and gpu, and also my config file showing that I on purpose capped game at 50 fps. I can get over 60, but it ranges from mid 50's to sometimes mid 60's, and I don't like the fluctuation. I prefer a nice solid framerate, and I selected 50, because it's high enough, without worries of getting any dips. I personally don't care what anyone else is getting....I know what I'm getting, and that's all that matters.

That's what I'm finding. Some parts of certain maps look really really good, but then there are other parts where it's obvious that it's more of a medium setting. Looks like textures are tight, but lighting and shadows and AA is where the game differs the most from pc.
Some stages seem high and some seem high/medium with levels like Parcels? having weather effects that are noticeably below Ultra on the PC.
The 660 is a beast card for the price. I'm really amazed at what my 660 + i5 2300 can do. I think you get slightly better visuals than me because you don't mind those dips to the low 50's. Me, I can't stand em, so I lower a bunch of stuff to make sure I NEVER dip below 60 except when assets are first loading.
come on man....... fps dip when things pick up and certain key assets you have low or off.
I even dip here and there.....the game is demanding. I DEFIANTLY feel BF4 on PS4 is equivalent to a mid ranged pc and id bet it gets a more solid FPS then a mid ranged pc does.
Are you kidding? PS4 also has dips. Do I get dips? Yes, but they're rare, and the dips aren't bad. Over 95% of the time, my game stays at what I capped it at, and that's also during heavy firefights.
As for "key" assests being low of off, I have AA post on high, you don't need AA deferred if you're using AA post. The only other setting low is effects, and I do that because I don't care so much about the purdy explosions and stuff. Blur I have off because I hate blur. Other than that, most of my settings are ultra or high. And in any case......the settings I have are STILL higher than next gen console.....at 1080p. Also, I have my res scale at 110% AND field of view at 80....2 things higher than console.
Point is, on my 660, quad core cpu and 4 gig ram....I'm running the game better than next gen console. Make no mistake though, I'm loving the hell out of playing on PS4....but never, ever, have I ever seen a spot where I thought it outdid what my 660 was pushing.
Not according to the frame rate analysis videos that were floating around a little while back. According to those videos the PS4 version frequently dips into the low 40's.
My pc dips, and it's not often, to mid 40s, it's why I cap it at 50...,because that's where it's usually at....and that's at higher res and higher settings.
Battlefield 4 doesn't impress me at all. It's a slight upgrade from BF3, thanks to the facial animations which look cool. by the way.
I could say for certain that it looks better than Killzone Shadowfall. It's funny reading posts at Neogaf by some posters comparing the KZSF to other games like Metro LL and Crysis 3. Hah.

I still have this game in shrink wrap should I open it or sell it. I heard the game is broken ps4 version
Finally got round to having a few games last night and I didn't get steamrolled 
Tempted to pick this up for next-gen but I'll wait and see on what happens with the consoles when they are launched over here.

It's a DICE game so it's buggy as hell but when it works though it is brilliant, give it a try and if you keep having issues wait until DICE release some updates and then go back to it.

Yes you can only edit loadouts in the game don't if you can do it through battlelog though.

I believe he said he had a Phenom II X4, which is faster than a FX 4100, seeing as it's a two module/4 thread CPU.
lmao, I don't people have played those games maxed out on PC to really, really know what they look like. Both of those games are unreal. Plus MLL has some great PhysX effects. BF4 doesn't even come close to those games.
The game is broken, for many, it continues to crash on almost every game (crashes a ton for me)....but they are aware of the issues and are working towards fixing it.
I rented COD Ghosts from Redbox last night. Had to rent both discs to play the SP campaign, it requires an install. My god was that game horrid. COD has become so over saturated and milked to death, the game has lost its integrity.
After playing a few matches of the multiplayer, also horrible, I switched over to the SP. The entire first 20 minutes of the damn game barely involves any shooting and once the shooting does start, it's just a borefest. I guess I'm spoiled by BF4's sp campaign having a bit more depth to it, which is to say a lot about BF4's SP campaign.
As for Ghost's MP, it doesn't stand up at all to BF4. I'm so used now to certain things in BF4 that the gunplay and moving mechanics in COD feel foreign, it's weird. As for the 6o fps in Ghosts, the graphics look ugly as hell and it's not as smooth as it used to be in previous COD games.
I still don't get how the masses enjoy COD so much, it's a very boring shooter with no challenge at all. I was playing normal Team Deathmatch and the game felt like 1-shot kill damage, which in my opinion isn't all that fun. The maps are also very large in comparison to past COD games.
I know this is a BF4 thread, but I just wanted to give an opinion about Ghosts coming from a BF player. I used to like COD back before COD4 Modern Warfare, and it was definitely a game I'd play alongside Battlefield sessions, but my god, COD has died.

Agreed. I LOVED CoD, and many here know how much I've defended it, but I just can't get into enjoying this one....not after having BF4.
The daughter had an out-of-town soccer tournament this past weekend, so I was not able to play my shiny new PS4 at all. With that said, the wife and I decided to take the day off yesterday and dive in to the BF4 multiplayer. We played every version of COD on the last gen consoles, but this was our first time with the Battlefield series. With the Conquest servers pretty much un-joinable, we played mostly Team Deathmatch and Domination. First off let me say, we both suck at this game. Ha ha…As decent COD players, it was a little frustrating at times. Hopefully, we get better as we spend more time with it and unlock some of the better weapons. Even with that, we enjoyed the game very much. I was blown away by the graphics. Very beautiful game and seems to run extremely smooth. Hopefully DICE will get some of these bugs ironed out quickly so we can play Conquest to get the true “Battlefield” experience.
The PS4 version has worked perfectly for me, aside from Conquest, which is down for everyone. BF4 on PS4 in my experience runs much better than any of the other multiplayer shooters available for the system. I couldn't be more happy with it.
Of course, you'll probably come to this thread and see everyone just complain and argue about specs for page after page. The amount of drama and ego involved in PC gaming is pathetic.

Umm, it's a BF4 thread, for both pc and console version. If statements are going to be made that the console version could be mistaken for pc ultra/high version....it's an appropriate thread to call BS on it.
With that said, there is no ego here involved in pc gaming.....pretty much everyone here, including myself are saying the console version is awesome.
Yeah, but drama & ego is pretty much with everything in life. lol.
Anyways, they are restarting the full backend for BF4 on PS4 & applying a server wide update. Hopefully you guys can play some Conquest then.

God, I hope so. Game is bloody awesome. Although I've played on pc, the game on PS4 makes me giddy every time I fire it up.
So, I just picked up BF4 for X1 and on the back it says 2-66 players on Xbox Live... are they going to have 33 v 33 servers? Is this the same across PS4 and PC and i just never noticed?
EDIT: Nevermind, im assuming that extra player would be the commander for both teams... duh
