@syed117: Sony has been doing that since the PS2 days.

@syed117: I agree with you, it's not ideal. For people who insist (or require) using over-the-ear headphones for game audio, this sucks.

The PS4 comes with a fully functioning headset. I fail to see the problem here.

Its no secret that these systems are coming in HOT, and this was likely a last minute feature, since the bundled headset plugs into the controller, bluetooth headset functionality was not a critical function of getting this thing out the door, and thus was likely not highly prioritized.

But you seem to have already made your mind up that this is some kind of massive problem, so keep running down the street with your pitchfork.

I only plan on doing it for BF4. I have a number of friends who are getting the PS3 version and not upgrading to PS4 at launch, so it will be good to play with them before I go off into my next-gen solitude. Maybe it will help push them to upgrade too.

Pretty cool to have a Packers branded chopper.

PS4 version of BF4 comes out November 12.

After playing around trying to copy that super meat boy emblem, I made a Green Bay Packers emblem.

It boosts your in-game score? All other previous "double xp weekends" in BF3 gave you an XP bonus after the round, but actually boosting your in-game score? That's fucking horseshit.

I have high hopes for Batman Blackgate, but I'll probably wait for a price drop or sale.

Tearaway seems like a must buy, even though I'm trying to save my pennies for a PS4. If the reviews are glowing, I probably wont be able to resist.

(Playing on PS3)

Controls are snappy & tight, gunplay is satisfying. Sound design is improved from BF3. Parachuting seems easier to control. Love that auto-deploy is back in when you want to respawn.

Overall, the game isn't a huge overhaul to the formula, its mostly small changes & tweaks, which all seem to be well thought out and fun (weapon pickups on the map, squad bonuses, knife counters, etc). But for the most part, it doesn't really feel all that different from BF3. This isn't necessarily bad in my eyes, since BF3 was great in most ways, and BF4 seems to be an improvement overall...but unless you're a die-hard Battlefield guy, there's not a huge incentive to get this game.

Only thing I'm not so sure about these "battlepacks" though, which are a straight rip of the weapon packs from Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. Its obviously an EA thing to try to microtransaction the shit out of all their games, but I'm dubious that they'll "fit" into the game's persistent progression. It's easy enough to ignore, but its the one thing that really sticks out to me as a publisher forcing something on the developer.
