Back in BF2 you felt more connected as your Commander Assets (ooer) could be destroyed by the opposing team: the mobile UAV command centre, artillery and infantry/vehicle-sweep radar could all be taken out.

I got kicked so many times for doing that even though it was my job

Yeah, I remember being told off on occasion. A lot of servers had special rules that allowed Spec Ops class in with the C4. What a pain that was and yeah, stupid to get kicked for doing that really. It was what the class was made for at the time!

I loved playing Spec-Ops

My C4 deaths show the sacrifices I made for my team

Strange it says I was only Banned/Kicked From Server 1 / 4

I'm sure it was loads more than that :/

Don't get me wrong mate, I think BF4 is a big step up compared to BF3, but I couldn't put my finger on the right description. Now I reckon your contrast comment is likely how I feel too. It's good to know the visuals improve in the online proper.

Why do you think PC games haven't matched KZ visually, budget? The irony is that KZ will probably only move 5 million units (not that that is a terrible number) whilst making COD visuals look amateurish. I wonder if there will ever be truly phenomenal looking multiplats, but I hope Battlefield steps up to the plate next time around.

Oh, and the PS4 version does have that slider you mentioned. I haven't fiddled with it yet but it's set at 50%?

Only 144 hours playtime? Lightweight!

Check out the devotion! Ah, brings a tear to my eye and still, I was nowhere near ranking up to Colonel.

500 teamkills from me... Naughty! Shocking eh?

Yeah, I've been playing with it but forgot I'd set it. You can also set your Field Of View crop too. I've been experimenting with things like that as I've been finding it quite hard seeing people. I think also it didn't help that I've only just discovered there's a brightness slider (maybe that was added in a patch?) Worth checking these things out though.

As for PC graphics. Far Cry 3 has some nice views as did Crysis all those years ago. I truly feel consoles held back development in PC gaming massively so perhaps we'll see some truly jaw dropping visuals in games to come? I think I am probably a little hard to please in some respects as some games certainly do have certain aspects of really high quality artwork: Dishonored, Borderlands but ultimately don't give you that wow factor. My own views might not be shared by other PC gamers like Herr Toady and co though.

So, I guess you're been well impressed with Killzone then? What kind of game would you most like to play where the graphics were outstandingly gorgeous to look at? For me, a nice sandbox RPG like Elder Scrolls or something like GTA would be superb. I'm really looking forward to a big expansive world that looks highly detailed and super realistic.

Actually, I read today that that gaming headset - the Oculus Rift could soon be changing the way we play our games and it's exciting to think FPS games like BF4 and COD could get a serious injection of realism just by the mere fact you can properly look to your left and right without deviating from your course (like reality!) Yeah. Look around you. I'm sure with that I'll finally know what the hell is going on and should (hopefully) die a little less often!

Blimey 715 hours I bow to you
You obviously never [censored] anyone off enough to get banned though

Hey my accuracy is better than yours and I have a higher death streak hehe

It's still installed on my old PC maybe I should have another go. It's been 6 years since my last game so I maybe a bit rusty.
Just noticed I started playing 12 days before you Spooky so that makes me the BF vet around these parts

6 days before me eh??!!!! Wow. Can't change that now. I feel like a fraud.

I've been kicked plenty of times. I don't think the stats got properly recorded for stuff like that.

My accuracy still sucks these days as I just like to shoot like crazy, especially when I'm bored or have a big minigun or something. Also, it won't help that I spent a good few hours on one BF4 map shooting down all the trees.

6 years eh? That's quite a gap innit? I've got BF2 installed still too. And BF1942. Tried to play '42 the other day but it asked for the disc and I couldn't be ar'sed to go and find it. It's been ages since any game has asked me for a disc. I felt insulted! That's what you get for buying most of your games on Steam I suppose!

12 not 6 don't try to gain 6 days
My accuracy will be 0% now as I've gotten used to the stupid PS3 joypad thing, even though I'm rubbish with it

In BFBC2 I seemed to be more of a lumber jack than a soldier, me and my mate took it upon ourselves to clear the maps of trees
