Mod [Mod] Welcome new users!

Now that /r/ps3bf3 redirects here I figure we will start to see some new faces. Make sure to check out the Wiki for any questions you have. We will be keeping all info in the Wiki so it will be everyone's go-to place for info.

Background History

Some people may be wondering why we closed /r/ps3bf3 and opened this one. This subreddit was created for all Battlefield games on any PlayStation system. Previously there was /r/ps3bc2 where the first group of Redditors met up and played together. Later many of them moved on to /r/ps3bf3 where the community grew with Battlefield 3 being quite popular. With the release of Battlefield 4 as well as PlayStation 4, it seemed best to create a new single sub to compile all PSBF info, rather than to create a new sub every time a game was released.

Submit

Each submit button assigns a tag to your post so users know which game your post is about. If none of the game tags apply to your post you can just use the "Submit General" button.

For example clicking the "Submit BF3" button will create a new post with [BF3] in the title.

This helps people quickly find posts about games they care about without having to look at ones they don't.

Link Flair

Tagging posts correctly will assign link flair even if you assign the tag yourself. The tags that currently will work with flair are as follows:

Filter

The filter can be used to view only one specific kind of post. Each game has their own filter as well posts for mods and events.

Filter Notes:

[PS4BF4], [PS3BF4], and [BF4] all show up under "BF4 only". The purpose of having a separate tag for each system is for features that may differ between the two, or posts about looking for new friends to play with. All the old posts that were marked [PS4BF4] have been assigned the [BF4] flair since none of them were system specific.
[BC] and [BC2] posts show up under the same filter.
[Mod] posts show up under "BF4 only" and "BF3 only" in addition to "Mod only". This is because these are the two filters that will likely be used most often.
One final thing to note, if you know you will only be looking at posts for one game, you can bookmark that filter. For example, if you only want to see BF4 posts and will never care about anything else, click on "BF4 only" in the filter and then bookmark the url (http://fu.reddit.com/r/psbf). Now that link will always bring you to the BF4 filter.

Spoiler Tags

Comments in the form [spoiler](/s)will use the spoiler tag.

In the place of "/s" you can also use "/spoiler" or "#s"

Examples

This: [spoiler test 1](/s)

becomes: spoiler test 1

This: [spoiler test 2](#s)

becomes: spoiler test 2

This: [spoiler test 3](/spoiler)

becomes: spoiler test 3

If you have anything you want to see added to the wiki, or have any questions about the sub, leave a comment or message the mods.

Subreddit looks great. You guys rock.

I have to agree, the new subreddit looks good. Much better to consolidate. I won't be getting bf4 until my ps4 comes in so I'll be a bit late to the party, hopefully my bf3 will stop being all glitchy until then.

I hope we see some new faces show up, too. I've run out of targets.
