    From the levelouted maps to commander mode to the new squad mechanics, Battlefield 4 is a top-to-bottom improved multiplayer experience over Battlefield 3. And Battlefield 3 was damn good, so that’s saying a lot.

    It's hard to make a judgment on Battlefield 4 because of the large gap of quality between the campaign and the multiplayer mode. Both are absolutely beautiful, but the former has nothing else... Fortunately, a Battlefield game is made to play with some other players. Maps are huge and well-balanced, the "Levolution" feature is kind of cool and vehicles make the experience really enjoyable. If you play alone, forget Battlefield 4. If not, go for it.

    BF4 gives continuity to what was achieved in the previous chapter, but there is still a long way to go until it reaches the desired quality. Recall that initially BF3 was not what we have today, a game improved to the max with all the updates introduced over two years.

    Battlefield 4 is an excellent multiplayer game that makes the most of its ambitions, proving once again that destruction is a valuable strategic addition to competitive combat, which reaches its full potential with two killer Commanders are bringing out the best in their squads. On the other hand, its single-player campaign is a disappointing.

    In spite of technical shortcomings, Battlefield 4 is a solid continuation of the series and its core content - the multiplayer game - will last you for a long time. [Issue#236]

    With new game modes, an enhanced interface, evolving maps, and greatly improved small-scale battles, Battlefield 4 continues the franchise’s trend of setting the standard for the squad-based multiplayer shooter.

    Another day, another PC launch riddled with bugs and issues. Battlefield 4 is a perfectly decent game with a crashing client, crashing servers, and a whole host of issues that cause lag, disconnections, graphic and sound glitches, and plenty more. When they get fixed it's easily worth a purchase; right now, it's a frustrating experience.

Guns mechanics seem to be better. Now you cant snipe guys with a controlled AR rifle. You now actually need a scope to engage at longer range. Now guns just dont lose accuracy after some only 3 bullets. you can fire longer burst. Suppression blur is removed. there is only a gun sway when you are suppressed without any accuracy hit and blur. guns and vehicles are more open to customization like you have more accessory slots for weapons and vehicles. Map design is very good. there are no choke points so far. you can always come back in game with alot of flanking ways. Expand

Now that the game had time to settle, the game is much better than it was at launch, and it's worth getting with all the DLC, especially when the game frequently goes on sale on Origin. Even if you're uncertain, there is a week long trial on Origin that you can try out. Expand

    They upped the game-play from BF3, but most of the maps are not very good for all game modes, and Rush for example has taken a huge hit to groin from BF3.
    I love it when I can play it without any issues, but the bugs and crashes, which are never fixed, because EA, leaves this game nowhere near a perfect score and can only land it at 6 in my opinion!

    Cant give it more then 3. Why? Because client and/or servers crash so frequent you cant enjoy it. There is nothing but constant crashes. OverCant give it more then 3. Why?

    Frist of all, Im not a fan boy, but I like Battlefield series. Lets list some of the battlefield 4 problems:
    1- At Team Death Match the game stay 80% with no sound. No shoting sound, walking... The game just emit a game music theme! That´s suck.
    2- Battlefield 4 is the same of 3. Its could be a DLC.
    3- The servers are always with problems. I got kicked all the time, even when Im with ping of 7ms! I have only 4 servers with good ping, is a little complicated to play multiplayer.
    4- Origin and EA games dont care about do not care about their customers, that is the truth!
    5- The campaign, like Battlefield 3, is very buggy!
    6- I hate the method that open the browser to play the game, is awful! PLEASE EA, STOP IT!
