Battlefield 4: Current-gen to next-gen multiplayer data transfer confirmed

Battlefield 4 players will be able to transfer their multiplayer data and Premium membership from current-generation consoles to next-generation consoles, EA has confirmed.

What about our BF 3 stats? Will they carry over to BF 4?

famoussasjohn4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Battlefield 3 stats do not carry to Battlefield 4.

This is in regards to if you buy Battlfield 4 on Xbox or PS3 and buy the Xbox One or PS4, the stats for Battlefield 4 will transfer over, along with Premium if you have that for Battlefield 4. Your Battlefield 3 Premium does not transfer to Battlefield 4.

It's also a one time transfer, you can't go back and forth.

MWong4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

Why would your BF3 stats transfer over to BF4? The only thing that is transferring are your BF4 stats from current-gen to your next-gen console.

Kleptic4666d ago

but, just to clarify, you do get that veteran status stuff for battelog, by putting 'x hours' into various other battlefield games with the same origin account...you get some dog tags and possibly side arm unlocks for Bf4...they did the same thing with BF3...nothing new...

but yeah...'stats' don't carry over...why he asked that is beyond me...

MWong4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

What the article is basically saying is if you buy BF4 on PS3/XB360 and buy it on PS4/XB1 with the press of a button all your unlocks and stats can be transferred with 1 button.

Correct, your veteran status and stuff increases with every BF installment and that won't change as long as you continue using the same Origin account. I don't know what they might offer this time for veteran status.

I loved the WWII pack they offered with BC2 though. The M1 Garand was a nice little throw back.

Why the hell would your stats from BF3 carry over to BF4?

Actually no... i don't want to buy the game twice so i don't get outleveled from my friends.

I'll come in on my brandnew BF4 on Ps4 and what i see are people on high ranks. That's stupid and unfair. :(

BALLARD324666d ago

Same here except I just don't want to be at a disadvantage on day one of the next gen version.

Hufandpuf4666d ago

You don't want to buy it on current gen, but others might. Stop being so selfish.

KwietStorm_BLM4666d ago

Well it's not "unfair," because the option is available to you as well. Higher ranks don't mean better players either, so just play the game and stop making little sad faces.

SillyYou4666d ago (Edited 4666d ago )

@KwietStorm

Higher ranks mean better equipment, i think thats fact.

KwietStorm_BLM4666d ago

Yes, better equipment, but only good in the hands of a better player is my point. And as we can see in BF3, with the M16 just as one example, the "better" equipment doesn't always come with high ranks.

Man what idiotic living being would buy the same game twice?And this a muliplayer focused game
Anyways pretty good news

Transporter474666d ago

maybe if they release before the Xone or PS4, or for people that won't do the jump to next gen as soon as the consoles are released.

famoussasjohn4666d ago

Well, the game comes out possibly before next gen hardware, people want to play the game and may not want to wait for it on next gen.

tracyllrkn4666d ago

Because if someone doesn't have the money for a new system, or won't buy a next gen console until 2014, they can play it on current gen. When they upgrade, it won't be a problem.

sAVAge_bEaST4666d ago

that's good, but doesn't really matter, since Ps4+Bf4, day one.

cyclindk4666d ago

Glad many companies seem to be doing this. Really smart and helpful for the consumer.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot1517d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw2501516d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1516d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop1516d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno1516d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel1517d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1516d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge1028881516d ago (Edited 1516d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k331516d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge1028881516d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH1516d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
