is BF4 coming out on PS3 first or before COD:Ghost?
pretty sure PS4 wont be out on 5/11/2013.

BF4 confirmed for PS3 (but with fewer players than PS4), PS4 firming for Oct/Nov release though, so it being out on 5/11 not crazy.  It being out in Australia and New Zealand on that date a longer shot though....

EA has released an official survey that has described bits and pieces of what could potentially be a part of the Battlefield 4 multiplayer experience. These are not official/confirmed details for the game, but they do give a small indication of some of the new features that we can expect to learn more about in the future.

What was not mentioned earlier were some of the details of dynamic maps, like sounding vehicles alarms when bumping into them mistakenly, cutting power to buildings to envelop enemies in darkness, and seas that “swell” or become “stormy.” Mention was also made of “Battlepacks,” yielding possible rewards bonus XP boosts, knives, weapon attachments, soldier camos and weapon paints.

Again, EA has stated, “these are just some of the ideas included in our survey and [are] not indicative of anything we have in the works.” So you might want to keep that in mind before getting too excited.

For more details and images from the EA survey, check out the MP1st article here.

Not hard to tell those MP1st lads are a pack of landlubbers, who needs to put those words in talking marks?  They'd be walking the plank on my boat, that's for sure .  I like the idea of the naval assault pack - a couple of patrol boats going at each other would be awesome - you could maybe get away with frigate or even destroyer-sized vessels if you got arcadey enough with how it ran - would be awesome fun .

PS3 release date, November 1st, 2013.

Pre-order DlC
Battlefield 4's China Rising expansion is apparently a "sprawling" add-on in which you'll explore the "vast and majestic" Chinese mainland across four multiplayer maps. It bundles all-new vehicles and high-tech military equipment into the bargain, and will be available with a pre-order at no additional cost.

All sounds good apart from:

The more control points his team has, the more weapons and gadgets the Commander has at his disposal. Some of the weapons include artillery, Tomahawk missile strike, UAV drone, and more.

Good see matches going south really quickly once a tipping point was reached if it's not handled right.  It's also pretty unrealistic - generally in a conflict you reinforce your troops that are in trouble, not the ones that are doing fine!  I'm not sure I'm a fan of unbalancing a game just because.  Am sure it'll still be fun, don't get me wrong, and it's been a long time since we saw a truly balanced shooter on consoles.
