Latest “Only in Battlefield 4″ Trailer is Pretty Lame, Shows Something You Can do in a Ton of Games

The "Only in Battlefield 4" series of short trailers has been very cool so far, showing stunts that were definitely spectacular. Apparently, though, the campaign is running out of juice, or at least of spectacular stunts.

Hmm.... I wouldn't say it's lame tho. Definitely a great heads-up move regardless of the game. Can't wait for this one.

Abriael3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

Agree to disagree there, killing two people with explosive is something really basic I'd say. For sure not "Only in battlefield".

malokevi3863d ago

Just lame because of that dry British accent.

Spot of tea, please?

djplonker3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

There is no such thing as a british accent...

Britain is 4 countrys

malokevi3863d ago

lol..... right on, bud.

I don't know if you're including Dominions to start some sort of lame argument.... and I don't care.

malokevi3863d ago

*googles "british accent"*

Oh yeah, I forgot, only on N4g. lol.

nugnugs3863d ago

There's no single English accent either.
Off the top of my head there is Geordie, Liverpudlian, Yorkshire/Lancashire, Manchester, Brummie (Midlands), west country (pirate to anyone who does'nt know) Southern, Cockney and upper class posh tw@, all wildly different, within England.

you guys are about as entertaining as a bag of nails.

To be honest this "Only in BF" campaign is lame. It's just a bunch of actors saying how amazing the game is.

Something closer to "You're mom hates Dead Space 2" would've been better ;)

Blastoise3863d ago

I'm not really as excited for Battlefield 4 as I used to be

iR_phantasm3863d ago

Same, especially after playing the beta. Its not bad, but feels like ive been there, and done that too many times.

TekoIie3863d ago

Same here! Haven't been this excited for a shooter in ages.

Just thought I'd give a heads up that if anyone's going for the PC version and wants premium I'd really recommend this offer: http://www.simplycdkeys.com...

MidnytRain3863d ago

Well, it's not like that there aren't another hundred if these trailers that are more representative. Don't see why this particular one matters.

McScroggz3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

This is in direct in comparison to Call of Duty. Battlefield 4's message is basically, "Hey, look at all of this craziness that can happen in each map. In Call of Duty, all you do is shoot people with the same guns you've been using for 4 years. You never know what's going to happen in our game."

And, I gotta say, as somebody who doesn't play a lot of multiplayer and doesn't have an innate preference I think this subtle message is a smart one. That commercial where the guy is talking about running from a tank and the tank keeps shooting top far ahead and creating holes in buildings that allows the player to keep running. That's crazy (a little hyperbolic, but still).

I think DICE needs to have a commercial where they basically call out all of those stories in the new CoD commercials for being the story and not multiplayer - then poke fun at people not playing the CoD single player. Then, they need to show footage of insane stuff happening in a multiplayer match of Battlefield 4 and some real reactions of the players.

That would be a BOLD statement.

STK0263863d ago

Battlefield needs to stop trying to get CoD fans to hop on the BF bandwagon; all they risk doing is alienate their own fanbase. Call of Duty is faster than Battlefield, the small maps are not limiting Call of Duty, they are part of Call of Duty and likely will always be, just like Counter-Strike is set in small maps and not in large battlefields. For the last few years, all DICE has done to BF is make it a bit more like CoD hoping CoD fans will switch game; but they have ignored a lot of complaints coming from the core of their own fanbase, people who played BF, not because it's similar to CoD, but because of its own strengths.

ambientFLIER3862d ago

Well said. Leave COD to be whatever it is and focus on core BF gameplay. There's room for both. COD is great for a quick game of intense and fast paced combat and BF is good for tactical play.

Neonridr3863d ago

Regardless, I do enjoy these Battlefield commercials. It is interesting seeing what can happen, regardless if these are "actual players" or just people paid to say that stuff.

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.

-Foxtrot785d ago

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

gamesftw250784d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface784d ago

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

PapaBop784d 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.

Inverno784d 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

XiNatsuDragnel785d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps784d ago

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

Pudge102888784d ago (Edited 784d 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

pr33k33784d 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.

Pudge102888784d 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_D3TH784d 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

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