The PC DLC release date was let-out-of-the-bag by Origin Germany.

Finally, some decent maps

The game still isn't working properly, I guess its still EA policy to make money first worry about the rest later.

Total joke that XBO has had this since November......

Lost interest in BF4, it seems to me its trying to be like COD.

BF4 is the first battlefield I haven't bought in ages. I got so annoyed with the continual demand for money via dlc and annoyed with myself for still wanting to buy it.

Bring back the old days when you only paid for a game once and the community built maps. If the community was active more people bought the game, the developer got more money (obviously less than the current model of bleeding everyone dry).

How stable/ buggy is everyone finding BF4 now on the pc?

I don't buy any games when they first come out any more. I usually wait until they're in the Steam sale or similar, often for about £5 or less. It has the added advantage that being an older game, my mid-range graphics card can play it quite nicely too So I've got another 6 months or so before I'll even look at buying BF4...maybe by then they'll have ironed out the bugs. Or not.

If the official date was the 18th then wouldn't Premium members have been given early access on the 4th?

I've been doing that a lot recently.
My only worry about doing this, is that by the time the game has achieved stability and a suitable price, well then there won't be many playing on-line. Or maybe those that are still on-line will have achieved all the decent weapons so that when we start with our peashooters the game will be useless.

What doesn't work, there are balance issues still, but I haven't had significant gameplay problems since more or less the first patch, punkbuster at server 11/12 notwithstanding. A lot of the hype is spouted by people that don't understand the game. I get a lot of killed through wall hacker/netcode grief as I'm a big fan of the xm25, which is basically designed to kill round corners.

Think the last game I played like that was Star wars Battlefront - 9 years ago.

I've had no issues with BF4 for a while....

The last full map pack/ skin I can remember was COD4 MW Star Wars mod by BlackMonkeys but yeah you're right a long time ago now. That was 2010 I think. If I remember right there was also a paintball mod with maps too.

Glad to hear that BF4 is settling down too. Anyone got any idea how much the dlc will sell for ?

[KeyboardDemon]

My guess is DLC map packs for BF4 will be £11.99 each as that was the price for China Rising, the Premium pack at £39.99 looks more attractive and has been selling on eBay for around £24.99.

Can you trust buying those kind of things on Ebay? For £24.99 ,thats a good bargain

I was ok with the one I got, I've bought quite a few codes from eBay at a fraction of the Steam, Origin and Uplay prices, often with people selling on codes they got free with graphics cards, humble bundles or other incentives, but so far all have been genuine.

I just spotted this on Battlelog, so that's official now, Premium license holders will get the update on the 18th and no doubt that will be followed by loads of posts from non-Premium players complaining about how they haven't got it, so I guess I'll just have to avoid the forums while I play Operation Metro, Caspian Border, Gulf of Oman, and Operation Firestorm.
