    I hate the fact that in 2022 in Battlefield 4 I need to unlock every decent vehicle mode and weapons for literally MONTHS.

    The game is plagued with bug its none stop, been playing the game since release and had to stop for a while as the game has never been fixed.

    DICE releasing a small amount of patch that are only making the game more unstable. don't get me start on the Hit Detection (IT DON'T WORK)

    Best battlefield I've ever played, after BF3 it started to decay, until I got to this 2042 game that can't even be called a battlefield.

    This is by far the worst battlefield ever, it's straight up a pure downgrade from the amazing game BF3 was.
    Bugs are all over the place, the shooting feels awful, the AI is one of the most scuffed I've ever seen, the vehicle control is non-existing and the physics are completely broken.

    The lowest point of the entire battlefield franchise. Battlefield 5 and Hardline were dodgy, but boy, if you want to see some truly awful game design, load up battlefield 4.

    Genuinely one of the worst genuine attempts at a video game I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through, buy a better video game, it's not hard at all.

    Campaign is the wet dream of America just like that dream It is full of faults/bugs.
    I hope whoever named that character "Irish" dies a painful and slow death.

    And multiplayer is dead compare to battlefield 3.

    This game had so much potential but devs decided to throw it out of the window, multiplayer hit detection is non existent, there were moments i was one meter away from enemy and they had been standing and my bullets still wouldnt register. Whole multiplayer is like this if you arent on 144hz server which is impossible to find. It would be a perfect game if it had good netcode.

    The game has some shortcomings, but overall if you play it with friends you can have a reasonably fun time. Though, it basically just feels like you're playing a BF3 expansion.

    Battlefield 4 on the other hand feels like a hamsterwheel and grindfest replaced good gameplay!

    This was the game that made me quit online-gaming and continuing playing only cooperatively with friends!

    If you thought Battlefield was an alternative to the annoying and kiddy-riddled Call of Duty you are wrong!
    Be prepared for annoying waiting-queues and sometimes totally unexplainable loading times!
    Yes:
    It looks fantastic!
    and yes:
    It sounds even better!
    In fact: There is no other game that has this absolutely astonishing sound-design! But it's nothing more than a facade!
    In fact it consists of an annoying and totally hollow game-mechanic!
    A XP-System that deludes you into achieving something, and is obviously a cover up for the bug-riddled gameplay and hostile game-enviroment with more random deaths and unfair gameplay every round!

    The servers are filled with cheaters and death-squads who overrun and deliberately hunt newcomers!

    If you thought: "Just have to get better", there is no way to get really better. You just earn xp and more guns and attachments (that's the Hamsterwheel that can get you into wasting time very fast! How often did you realize: NOT PLAYING FOR FUN, BUT FOR MORE XP AND BAGDES?)

    Tactical approach is often missing totally and it's "everyone for themselves!"

    Weapons are a joke!
    It makes NO DIFFERENCE if you shoot with a SMG or a Heavy MG!
    What should obliterate anyone coming through the hail of bullets, often doesn't do a scratch and you wonder if you even hit!
    Just to make you understand: The LIGHT MG farts 20 DMG and the HEAVY makes the same amount of stink!
    Pathetic!

    A game that will make you hate campers and online gamers in general!    … Expand

    I've near finished the base campaign. The action is fun, but the characters are a cliche and show little depth. The action is fun to play through...

WHEN I get the chance to actually play instead of watching so many cut scenes or hands off ghost cinematic. BUT... I bought this game to play multiplayer so my score reflects my satisfaction in multiplayer only.

    Multiplayer Battlefield 4: is simply frustrating... I loved BF: Bad Company 2.
    -My biggest complaint exists with the vehicles. The vehicles are far too maneuverable. They can turn on a dime and attack any position. The vehicles make little to no sound so the player cannot tell they are even nearby or even directly behind the player. They can move forward and in reverse at full speed almost instantaneously. The cannons and guns also have no reduced speed to aim unlike in previous BF installments. This make it almost impossible to hide from a tank, the drivers can round a corner faster than a player on foot can run. And finally, THE TANKS and Helicopters MAKE LITTLE TO NO SOUND!! I cannot count the number of times a tank sneaks up behind my soldier while I'm running and not under gun fire. I can actually hear footsteps from other enemies on foot better then the vehicles. This needs to be fixed, how has this been overlooked? Stealth tanks.. yeah that makes sense. =/ It is telling that the developers do not even play this game. It is ****

    -Latency issues / rubberbanding on servers where I 'supposedly' have a 20-40 ping.

    -While searching through servers in lobby, many of the servers show there are 40+ players in game when there are not any in reality.

    -The BF4 takes far to long to start unlocking the weapons and gear for each weapon must be unlocked separately. This takes forever. It ruins the balance of the game, especially considering these weapons and gear do provide a significant advantage of beginning equipment (stability, accuracy, recoil, spread for guns and longevity or speed when being attacked both in vehicles and on foot)
    -The maps are gorgeous! however, they are not designed well from the perspective of being fun. A player is almost forced to camp and there are ~4 entrances to every building or roof. There is absolutely nowhere one can take a shot at an opponent that does not leave them exposed to retaliation fire.
    -There is TOO much clutter to get stuck on in several maps.    … Expand

    The game is riddled with players who are using cheat mods to gain a significant advantage, much like all games in the Battlefield series. Save your money and play something else, unless cheating is your thing too.

    Child game, un-enjoyable, unbalanced, bad netcode, AR/carbine weapons = nailguns accuracy, hit dectection is so weird. If you play alone you will sooner or later have enough of this game, because it gets annoying. it is enjoyable enough with friends, but without, you will have a hard time with the whole essence. Anyway I am level 109, so I have more than enough game time.

    The singleplayer campaign is atrocious because the story is irredeemably stupid. The story goes like this; you are Recker, a silent protagonist tool whose job is to go through the cliche-filled motions. Your team consists of a token white guy, a token black guy with a messiah complex and trust issues, and a token Asian person who also happens to be the token female character in your team. No surprise there given this game was made mostly by a Swedish studio (DICE). All throughout the game, you have to suffer through their poorly written drama and stupidity. They are supposed to make you feel badass, like "Good shot Recker!", "Nice shot Recker!" and etc. You get the picture. But sadly, you are also everybody's b1tch on so many occassions; "Open the door Recker!", "Plant the charges Recker!", "Lead the way Recker!" and "Jump Recker!". You are the leader of the group but they always order you around. Your "companions" are also fake holograms as they do 99% less damage to enemies. I've seen them move next to an enemy, empty several magazines at the enemy soldier's face and it's like nothing bad happened to enemy soldier. They are just there for window dressing and you should think of playing the campaign as if you didn't have AI companions. It's just a joke and it makes the experience feel completely fake. There is even a scene where you have to jump off a plane and your companions go first. If you let your companions jump ahead and wait ten minutes inside the fast-moving plane, and you jump, they will appear like they just jumped 2 seconds before you and it's as if the plane didn't move one inch. Very immersion breaking. I guess this is Michael Bay's fetish lens-flare explosion-filled game and bullets must be made of flint as they cause so much sparks when striking objects.

    The multiplayer is very good and is a fun riot but it is full of lootboxes, with many gun accessories and other things hidden behind lootboxes. It's not enough that you buy the many DLC packs to unlock them through gameplay, you still have to buy the lootboxes separately in the hopes of getting the upgrade that you want for the weapon that you want. No amount of gameplay will get you any of the lootbox rare items. I am against the practice of asking for so much money for all this content, putting most items behind a very long grind and topping that off with so many items you can only buy through lootboxes and a fukkton of luck. Battlefield 4 is a great game behind money-gouging and unacceptable business practices.

    Multiplayer is where Battlefield 4 shines. It's a good game especially if like me, you bought the Premium edition for $25 on an origin sale. But combined with the DRM and poor business practices and unpolished state during release, I can't give it too high a mark. Just buy it for the enjoyable multiplayer combat and buy it on a sale. For $25, you'll get your money's worth.    … Expand

    i'm glad I'm playing this game now, and not when it was released. it was probably even more of a **** and having this in the light of the recent controversies with Visceral Games shutting down, Mass Effect: Andromeda being an utter mess with support being removed almost immediately after launch, and the Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) debacle, it seems like EA has been on a long-standing decline, and I hope things like this sink the company and their employees go on to find better jobs in less horribly managed development teams. it REALLY wouldn't have taken much to have a single person play through the finished game to find these bugs. a disappointment and a farce.    … Expand

    Battlefield 4 could just as well be called Battlefield 3.5. The new Battlefield features are only marginal improvements over Battlefield 3, but even as such it leaves the competitors way behind. Hopefully the bugs will be squashed soon. [Nov 2013]

    Even if multiplayer wasn't buggy, Battlefield 4 would still only be a barely passable installment in all respects besides the snazzy graphics. EA and DICE played it safe by providing the same thing they did the last time around, with another phoned-in campaign and only minor alterations to the online.

    Battlefield 4 keeps soldiering on in the same footsteps as previous games in the series. The lack of worthwhile news makes you wish for more. Dice stays in its comfort zone calls for explosions and not much more. The series needs to evolve or fade out.
