I have more to rant about talking about the stupid community than I do about the game.

 

Game is glitchy rant over.

 

The community across all five platforms are some of the most immature, shortsighted, greedy, and just downright stupid people I have encountered. There are always outliers but for the most part all I see are a bunch of raging trolls who are mad because they are not the best at the game. I could go on but I would rather not.

It honestly is getting better with the updates... at least on my side. As for now it is a bit laggy but taking just the feel of the game and the maps into account, they are pretty good in my eyes.

Sounds terrible. I wouldnt know because the game is broke to the point where multiplayer doesnt work for some (me included)

In all fairness, it looks nice (when it works) and most modern PC's have at least 6GB of RAM.

It might also be that you're still rocking a 560Ti. A 680 might reduce or eliminate the laggyness.

All of my computer's COMBINED total up to 6GB. But I'm poor. 4GB would be a lot more reasonable, in my eyes.

That's obviously true but even that doesn't excuse it from running on medium settings and getting a lot of stuttering where to be fair at those settings it doesn't look that amazing and maybe a little worse than BF3 on Ultra which ran flawlessly on my rig.

I'll start. December is 2/3 of the way complete. WHERE IS MY MANTLE?!

I have lost almost all hope for mantle.  It has been talked about for months now, but nothing has been shown about it, no concrete evidence of any real improvement.  I don't blame DICE at all, if AMD expects anyone to buy into Mantle we need to see it giving a real improvement somewhere.

I'm just ready for it because they are quoting 20-40% improvements. And thats huge. That could possibly make my 7870 more powerful than a 770.

We are talking a game that wants 6GB of RAM. And it looks pretty good on my Xbox 360 (only way I can play it) at 720p. Pretty smooth, but it still looks like crap compared to on the PC.

 

They have 6GB DDR2 setups

I'm gonna try and save up for Dominator, so I'm not gonna drop $40-60 on cheap DDR2 RAM, when I don't even have a single dollar.

Ermm they never said it would be out before the end of the year, wait!!! it will be worth it if the 20-50% gain they are saying is to be believed. I doubt it myself I know it break the 5k drawfame wall that devs has but unless they totally recoded BF4 for Mantle we wont be seeing the 50%. Perhaps newer games such as Star Citizen will get a better boost.

It does!  I haven't played in about a month (because of work), but even then it only crashed about every hour and lost sound once or twice a game.  Looks fantastic and is a ton of fun.

At GPU14 in Hawaii they said by the end of this December we would have it for BF4.
