The vehicles and aircrafts are either way underpowered or way overpowered depending on what perks you have. There is already hacking going on... And this is likely going to get worse. The graphics are great in some areas and the lack of detail like in a chopper or tank armor and other things you will notice here and there, these could get better with newer updates. In all the game is an utter disappointment from launch and while it could get better, I fear the game will always suffer from hackers and trolls exploding everything they can. This game is not for you if you like tactical realism in fact at the moment this game feels like COD on steroids, this will hopefully change. I made the decision to hang up the FPS games for a while since they are all following the same tune which is rush the game and collect their money and since people keep buying into the games before reviewing them they will keep rolling out more polished turds like this one.… Expand

    Now after being able to play I can tell: It is okay. It still feels good to play, but it's too much like the previous game. There are many improvements, but I really feel like I'm still playing BF3.

    It's funny because I just had a little look at one user review who said this was the height of shooters and gaming in general. YEAH, MY ASS IT IS! If u could play it, if it would let u play it, or if the game was even worth playing at all. £40 for an expansion, BF3.5 that's what you get, and a half assed one at that.

    Don't buy this game for vehicle combat.

    Despite this game being out for almost a month now, Dice and EA have done very little to attempt balancing the air vehicles. The stealth jet is only decent at taking out other air vehicles. Like don't even bother attacking ground targets. You are better off ramming a tank with your jet, bailing out, and hitting it with infantry launchers. Eve    Don't buy this game for vehicle combat.

    Despite this game being out for almost a month now, Dice and EA have done very little to attempt balancing the air vehicles.

    The stealth jet is only decent at taking out other air vehicles. Like don't even bother attacking ground targets. You are better off ramming a tank with your jet, bailing out, and hitting it with infantry launchers. Eve his role of air superiority is a joke. Two of the jets can barely out maneuver the ground attack jets, and the third (the SU-50) can out turn all other aircraft at almost a 2:1 rate.

    The ground attack jets are overpowered. They kill the stealth jets (supposedly their counter) in less than 1 second. The only exception is the SU-50 which can literally fly circles around you. Their main cannon is so deadly against ground vehicles that it is pointless to even swap to a secondary. In fact the only excuse to use rocket pods is to kill infantry. Ground based counters are ineffective against attack jets just like BF3, jets (attack or SU-50) are the only vehicle that can kill an ace jet. Even with longer countermeasure cool downs you can still just retreat to your (fully automated computer controlled) stationary AA and it will kill anything (even a TV missile) on your tail.

    Little bird helicopters with 2 engineers repairing are nigh indestructible. Granted, you will spend most of yo r time disabled due to lockon spam, so getting kills can be challenging. But yo. Basically can only be killed by the MAA, a jet ram, or a dumbfire infantry weapon. Even fighting another littlebirdis more often a stalemate than not.

    Don't even bother getting in an attack helicopter. With every missile hit causing you to lose lift and rudder control, combined with the fact that missiles have a knock-over effect, even a single hit (that still ignores flares from time to time) usually results in a crash and death.

    With air vehicles so crippled, ground vehicles basically run amok. The mobile Anti aircraft vehicle is more often either lobbing missiles that have unlimited range across the map from their base (effectively), or roaming the field with AA dumbfire rockets that decimate infantry in droves. Tanks are not OP, but unkillable basically because their counter (the attack helicopter) is so gimped that it either has to camp on the deployment doing nothing, or go down in seconds as it's used as transport t a flag.

    Basically, battlefield has become the new call of duty. The same regurgitated garbage in a flashy new bugged package with weapon systems so dumbed down that your dog could probably effectively use them.

    Skill is not welcome in this game. Rip good first person shooters.    … Expand

    If you don't have BF3 or BFBC2, I'd recommend this game. If you do, don't pay EA a cent.

    Firstly, graphics impact my opinion on a FPS (or really any other game besides RPG) for the first 4 hours of game play. After those 4 hours of OOOOs and AHHHHs, you realize this game is just a BF3 with minor tweaks here and there. And really nothing else.

    The most important part of a FPS is hit detection and this game is a complete joke when it comes to that. Sometimes you will drop full health enemies with a quick burst of a SCAR across the map and sometimes you will have to pump 10 bullets into a guy right in front of you and to no avail.

    Pre-game lobbies are still laughable. You wonder how DICE hasn't figured out how to transition between games. We just want a simple UI system so we can see the next map, and adjust our classes accordingly. Not have to click on some slow-loading screen to see the map, then ALT-Tab to adjust our class on battlelog. And refresh the page to make sure the changes actually will work.

    The crashes. Oh the crashes. After their LATEST patch, I had two crashes back to back games. I won't say anymore to that, you probably have read enough about it.

    A much needed positive to this game is that the longer you play, the better you will do. You have to acclimate to the game type and learn the best weapons, classes and perks to move about the map. I have been playing mostly domination recently, and after 8 hours of grinding the maps out, I'm starting to get consistently great games. I know how to approach the flags and how to use the spawns to my advantage. So in conclusion to this, practice makes perfect. There is a good size skill gap in this game.

    Overall, I give this a 4 just due to the fact nothing has really changed,, and what has changed is mostly negative. (incredibly bizarre hit detection, crashing, etc. As a BF 1942 veteran, I'd rate this as my 5th favorite battlefield. If you are new to the franchise, I'd recommend it and tell you to stick with it, and your game will improve. If you are on a budget and don't have 100+ dollars to dump in a game, I wouldn't justify it.    … Expand

    Battlefield is made for multiplayer. It would be a great game too, if EA didn't rush it to beat Ghosts to the shelf in Tesco. 95% of the time, I'm sent back to the server screen because I lost connection. When I do join a game, I'm put in a small queue for about a minute before I'm sent back to the server screen again. This more or less prevented me from joining a game with my friends.

    After 20 minutes of waiting, I'm greeted by a glitch fest that makes Skyrim look like it was released on time Textures going crasy, Shooting through walls and mountains, spawn killing, glitching through the ceiling and dying, getting sniped by untrackable players, crouching while running, 10 tanks on the map at the same time...

    The season pass costs £40 in Britain, and adds everything that should have been in the game at launch. How they can make 2 DLC's within 45 days is beyond me. They couldn't have cut it out of the disk, could they?

    Basically put, Battlefield 4 is a game that would have been amazing if it was released in April or May, but EA had to have it out before Christmas. Dice is very tallanted, but due to EA's greed, they made a rushed, unfinished game. Save your money on this unplayable piece of rubbish.    … Expand

    Single player is just a rinse and repeat of
    A)goes to linear corridor level
    B)kills everyone in said corridor
    C)something blows up and character is sent hurdling
    D)go back to A
    So there's nothing to say about it, the story content is just so mindless that I switched off and can't remember any names of the characters at all they're so forgettable and bland.

    Multiplayer;
    I would say Battlefield 3.5, but they've somehow copied BF3 and taken it 2 steps backwards.

    Damage balancing is all out of order,

    Recons are able to Rambo it up and one-hit-kill players at close quarters while most other classes are not so lucky.

    Engineers serve no anti tank/anti air purpose anymore, with their launchers doing minimal damage and having to expend all their rocket ammo to down just one vehicle. With how they have the submachine gun they're only use is to "run and gun". They might as well be called the "pandering to the call of duty audience class"

    Supports are only useful for the ammo now. Their hopes of suppression, let alone killing, isn't very high because they're damage is akin to nerf guns. I have been a support and had a gun run at me, sponge the weapon and shoot me dead and I've been able to do the exact same to others.

    Assault/medic classes are generally pretty balanced actually, but damage inconsistency can really mess your experience up as you'll find one moment you can kill a fully healed enemy in 2 shots and the next it takes 8 or 9 bullets to put a guy down.

    Maps are completely unbalanced, you only have two options. Completely bottle necked with grenade and explosive spam or Completely open with no cover, there is only one map that breaks this trend and it can get old fast.

    I thought BF3 was pretty mediocre and hoped they could bring it back to awesomeness, but this was the killing blow.
    It's become nothing more than EA forcing DICE to copy paste the previous game in a rush to shove out yearly titles.

    Tried this again now 7 months after release and it's still a buggy mess. I get frequent culling of sounds that then suddenly pop up when the kill cam displays(such as helicopters coming in behind me). Kill cam seems to display the wrong character many times(or else there is something really weird going on).

    Server availability is now outrageously poor unless you have DLCs.

    Sadly the formula Dice used in BF4 sucks. The flying the jets require no skills, the soldiers can be easily killed. spawn areas are messed up......etc what shall i say. the maps are small and its like playing 64 players on 32 or 48 players map.... console feeling. the only good thing is the graphics.

They made milions of from the last game, and this is their best? COME ON. I dont know what is happening to the gaming industry, but it's bad.

    I'm not going to brag myself, but i need to say how i have monester pc, and after few minutes of playing bf4 i thought the problem is in my video cards, or drivers, or my disc or whatever, god dosent like me and so on, but then i saw the same problems have people who have better (15 000$ pc) and worst systems then me. So I realized there is something wrong with that game, like others that come out in this year unfinished product. So i have about 15 min (the most) long experience in multiplayer, there is a lot, A LOT of bugs, from texture, sound, fading soldiers and so on. And the singleplayer OMG, i still dont know what is worst, single or multi and i am realistic, because if you make such singleplayer where is unreal, fast and incomplete then dont even make half od product. I mean they have the best in the world, and that is not best. You will se on the end what i talk about.

    So I go on the start of this post, and ask myself how come there is guys who are in the games everyday, who are "pro" in their line of work, give game like this 10, or 9. HOW? Base on what? They get money for their score? Look at the user score and critic score, something is wrong here, I belive in users like me, because most of us are real, and we give score base on facts and actual situation.

    With milions of and few year in building progres they deliver THIS!? What is new here? This games become like sports game, the same game, just diffrent year on the cover, and you pay full price. People are not stupid, they will not buy unfinish crap all the time.

    The gaming industry has become too greedy and they dont see the full picture, they have money in their eyes, not gamers, and that is sad. This is not the first game that need first day patch, and that make me sad.

Which means you'll be paired against people who have the best upgrades and you're armed with stock. That sounds fair right? Yeah I know.

    The servers are absolute garbage, with lag all over the place (even with my 54 ms connection). People will dash across your screen and gun your ass down without even looking at you. Other times, you'll have the drop on them, pump 12 bullets into their chest, and still get killed with two bullets... from the guy who had to turn around to kill you. Bravo Dice. The disparity between weapons is mind boggling, with pistols (that use higher caliber rounds) doing barely any damage compared to assault rifles. The map are set up in a way that allows for spawn camping and vehicle camping, ensuring that your mismatched teams will produce one sided battles. As stated, the matchmaking is a joke and you'll be paired with idiots 99% of the time while fighting against clans or players who play together. Real balance right there folks.

    Performance wise, the game is a mess. On my 3rd gen i5 HP with 6 gigs of ram, the game takes TWO whole goddamn minutes to load a map. Two whole minutes of watching a screen load while everyone else is having fun. And if you are really lucky (like me), you'll get singled out for PunkBuster's inability to properly configure its damn self 5 seconds into the match, requiring you to mess around with Firewall settings to get the program to function PROPERLY. Something the damn thing should be able to do on ITS OWN. The game is poorly optimized and its anti-cheating software can't even install itself properly.

    I got the game solely for multi-player, based on the Xbox 360 gaming I did with BF4. But goddamn is this a mess.Weapon balance issues, repair exploits for helicopters, and other issues marr the experience. Good grief, stay away from this hunk of garbage until they fix it.    … Expand

    I rate this a 6 due to the glitchyness of it. Graphics are pretty good, story is meh,
    Also the sniper lag is horrible.    … Expand

    I bought this game and upgraded my RAM for my PC mostly for this game. So far, the multiplayer experience is AWFUL I crashed 3 times in a single round! Yet the game has be released 3 WEEKS ago and it's still not playable for a big company as EA the game should have been patched DAY 1. IT IS THE LAST TIME I BUY A EA PRODUCT AND YOU SHOULD TOO. I paid 60 for a beta state of game. DO NOT, II bought this game and upgraded my RAM for my PC mostly for this game. So far, the multiplayer experience is AWFUL I crashed 3 times in a single round!

    take destructive buildings from earlier battlefield games, add them to battlefield 3 and upgrade graphics, here is your bf4. levolution is nothing new, there has been destructible buildings much before bf4 and the game itself is exact same as it was in battlefiel 3. this is starting to remind me of CoD series, where they upgrade graphics and add new guns for the price of full new game.iftake destructive buildings from earlier battlefield games, add them to battlefield 3 and upgrade graphics, here is your bf4. levolution is nothing new, there has been destructible buildings much before bf4 and the game itself is exact same as it was in battlefiel 3. this is starting to remind me of CoD series, where they upgrade graphics and add new guns for the price of full new game.if you already have battlefield 3 or any earlier battlefield game, do NOT buy this game. but if you have never before played battlefield, then this is the best place to start since it has everything earlier games had, so you won't be missing out.… Expand

    This game might be fun if I could finish a single multiplayer game without it crashing. When I do get to play it the game seems fairly fun. I just wish I could finish a game.

    Ill be honest, at first i thought this was great, but the more i play the worse i realize it is, the attack helis are still blatantly op with a half decent pilot and gunner, being able to destroy just about anything with relative ease, spawns are terrible in some game modes, the netcode is straight up broken as are the servers. a decent game but too much is wrong with it for a decent review.

    Extremely poorly designed game. Its obvious all effort was put into the art department and the marketing, because the gameplay is a step back in every way from BF3. The technical shortcomings are also staggering, to the point that the game is still effectively non-functional, even after 6+ months.

    From my standpoint, BF4 is the end of the franchise. The ill will this disaster of a game has created for DICE/EA has destroyed the Battlefield for the fans of the games. I would be willing to bet, from this point on, we will see BF head in a Freemium/casual direction. There is no hope anyone will be willing to spend the 120$ pricetag again, in a year when BF5 will be released.    … Expand

    The game is ok until you start getting Instant crashes. PC reboots, the game is buggy as hell. The single player is boring and forgettable, I finished the game few weeks ago and I don't even remember what I played. This game is very forgettable.

    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.
