    This game is great...when it doesn't crash.

    The gameplay is great. I actually do love it.

    It's happened to me more times than I want to admit. I've probably only received credit for around 60% of the matches I've played in. Yes, I've been disconnected around 40% of my matches and received no xp or other credit for those.

    That was after three days after launch of being unable to log in. There was no help on the forums, either. I eventually had to figure out on my own what the problem was as to why the Battlelog site wouldn't start the game.

    This will be a fun game when they get the disconnection problems fixed. Until then I'll play CoD and get griefed by all the hackers. At least it doesn't disconnect me.    … Expand

    I wanted to love this game, battlefield is like crack to me, still get my fix online, but single player needed alot more work. Dice should re evaluate for the future before passing off another single player that doesnt make the grade.. The game is better without it (but who buys battlefield for single player anyways...and we know why...)

That being said i know with the exception of bad company story has never been a priority for battlefield or all that good in general but there is no point adding a 3 hour campaign that has no real merit towards the game other than showing some of the multiplier map locations. So in a nut shell for campaign. It felt rushed and left me with the feeling that it was not really necessary.

    Onto the multiplayer, at this point i should point out that i used to always favor the battlefield form of game from playing 1942 onwards as opposed to CoD. That being said i feel battlefield 4 as to be abit of a letdown, as i said earlier the game feels unfinished still quite buggy in places and not completely balanced and still resembles the beta. The main issue i find with this game is just that it feels abit samey, by that i mean there is no really additions to make me want to pick up and play it, at the moment i am playing simply because i bought it and no other reason.    … Expand

    This game is rife with issues as it is. On Pc at least. Server crashing, game crashing, netcode and bug issues. They released a patch recently that seemed to cause more problems. The game was released to us unfinished. It hardly holds up to what it should be. I am very disappointed in BF4, a game I anticipated for a while and when I finally receive it...the game is broken.

    In alot of ways its similar to BF3, but with more bugs and glitches that should have been dealt with in alpha or beta, but not after we pay $70.00 for it. At this time I don't recommend the game for multi-player, though the single player was polished that's not really why we get shooter games anymore is it?

    EA and Dice dropped a steamy pile, something I would expect from Infinity Ward /Trearch and Activision.

    The continuing failures of game designers is a plague brought on more recently by laziness and greed. How many patches were released for Super Mario Bros?

    Because BF4 is a good looking game and brought some expanded version of its predecessors and a polished single player I will give it a 6/10. If, by some miracle they fix all the glaring issues within a reasonable time I would up it it to somewhere around an 8 or a 9 out of 10. Frankly I am sick of getting unfinished games and paying full retail for them.    … Expand

    Battlefield 4 hardly seems like an improvement but the game is still fun to play if your one of the few not experiencing any problems. On PC, or on mine at least, the graphics look really good. Better than the their current gen console counterparts though I can't talk for next gen since I've yet to experience it.

    Campaign: What can I say.... it just sucks. We all know the campaign in    Battlefield 4 hardly seems like an improvement but the game is still fun to play if your one of the few not experiencing any problems. On PC, or on mine at least, the graphics look really good. Better than the their current gen console counterparts though I can't talk for next gen since I've yet to experience it.

    Campaign: What can I say.... it just sucks. We all know the campaign in these games are usually not good and this game is an example of that. Most of the time you can hardly care less about what's going on and you'll just want to get through the campaign already. To make matters worse, the devs decided to put some multiplayer unlockables in the campaign, meaning you have to play it if you want certain items or guns in the multiplayer. The story itself is just boring and part of that is how you, the main character, is poorly done. You never talk during the game which would be fine if you weren't the squad leader for the majority of the game. Often times you'll get scenes like a commander saying, "I'll answer to the squad leader only" and yet your companions will end up doing the talking for you like your a new trainee just learning the ropes and following along yet your suppose to be veteran and the leader.

    Multiplayer: Of you've played Battlefield 3 then you'll know what to expect. Same classes are there though some items have been mixed around. Really like that they added stats to the weapons and actually categorized so if you want a submachine gun you can just go to that. One big drawback that I don't understand why they didn't add it to the game is being able to customize your loadout while waiting for the next game. It doesn't make sense to do it while playing since you rather be playing and helping out your team rather than take time to change your loadout when you could've done it before the game started. The maps are pretty well done though, ranging from big vehicle maps to smaller no vehicles map yet big enough to accommodate a 32 and even 64 man matches.

    Biggest problem so far that everyone is mad about are the bugs and crashes that happened during launch. It is really unacceptable especially considering that they've had to delayed their first DLC, though I don't know why there's already a DLC, but the fact that it's been delayed shows how not ready the game was from being released. I can only recommend this game if you manage to get it for cheap like I did for 20$ and if your into FPS were sometimes you just want to jump in and experience some high action shooting.    … Expand

    Bf4, the new franchise will be a dream to many new comers, an elegant adaption to BF2 user base, and potentially new to bf3 users except for some map modes.
    Levolution works and works well
    The wrong for gamers and bf3 users going bf4 is simple: 1) Bf4 is not a visual stunt and realism compared to bf3 in ultra max settings. 2) Some maps in Bf4 are empty! you look at Parcels, you look    Bf4, the new franchise will be a dream to many new comers, an elegant adaption to BF2 user base, and potentially new to bf3 users except for some map modes.

    2) Some maps in Bf4 are empty! you look at Parcels, you look at Shangai. They are empty, sure you have effects like flying paper all around or you can swim under water weewwwwww, cool heh? yet nothing compared to realism of BF3. I do not blame Dice for their choice but console manufacturers to force developers to get to their best with crunched down ultra minimal hardware possible.
    3)Yes the game is really expensive, what you call premium is just BF4 with all expansion attached and ready to download when each of these expansion will be available. yet or +$100 compared to 1 year, 1 year and half and bf4 premium drops at 40$ altogether because well gamers are going other horizons and also Dice may want to "annualize" their franchise then what of this 100 dollars worth? just the right to be called premium since beginning with or without all expansions out already.

    Now the good:
    1) The engine seems and appear to diffuse scatter light a bit better in SOME situations compared to bf3 such as the locker room when you go in/out of the indoor tunnel and you get somewhat blinded and everything become contrasty. The engine needs a tweak for that whereas when you stop in the middle if this light diffuse and scattering then the changes stops where they are at and sometime remain as long as you stay on spot instead of diminishing as human eye adapt to light change after a short period of time. Sometime it works well, sometime it does not but those are fixes that will come along the way and it will be something plush and plus to the gameplay and game.
    2) Physx works well if not better than bf3
    3)Introduction of hide behind a box and pop to shoot. It is not perfect but fixes will come along.

    Conclusion:
    It could have been great and limited itself. Overall a good game but not worth +100$    … Expand

    Improved gun-play over BF3 and slightly better visuals with well designed maps make this a nice buy. On the downside, you have to go online to play single player and the servers aren't very stable. The game also have frequent crashes which set back progress. This would be an 8 or 9 if these issues were not present.

I really appreciate the changes DICE did (new attachments, scoring for damaging vehicles, light switches, Commander Mode, but the map design could be better (for instants "Operation Locker" a.k.a. "Metro 2.0"). Sometimes it's impossible to play Rush, because a lot of maps enable baserape (but this is a problem we already got in Battlefield 3 and for this the players are to blame), although the map offers more than two ways to get to the objective. At least Battlefield 4 comes with an impressive graphic and levolution is a great feature, which is able to change a whole match.

The nice thing about this game is that players now have the option of spectating games that allows them to observe suspicious players. People no longer have to wonder who is hacking... It actually shocked me that I have discovered servers that I performed extremely poor on had almost nothing but hackers with modified skins and movements uncharacteristic to normal play. They can also now be aware when they are being observed and they will literally sit still... which in the least part is a heck of a way to grief cheaters trying to hide their cheats.

    They also added what I nearly forgot existed all the way back from Battlefield 2142 the Commander slot in battles. Commanders can be devastating for matches yet very few want to play the role as it is not exactly exciting when most people do not follow orders... but one can progress in rank quick from being a Commander. It sure does suck when your opposing team has an Commander and the other team doesn't; the Commander's team usually wins...

    One thing I did not like in this game was the new vehicle set-up. Jets seemingly lose control when I start firing; they simply stall out in the air and I lose my positioning for a kill. Manipulating the throttle to increase turning speed has been significantly gimped; when the throttle over exerted the plane literally stops turning entirely as if it lost all of it's wind. They also put in several different types of Guns for the jet and it makes spotting cheaters damn near impossible when the 30 mm cannon naturally does too much damage. The Miniguns on the Transport Heli no longer harm Tanks; as if they really did any serious damage in BF3. They are now good for killing soldiers and eventually bringing down other flying vehicles.

    All in All BF2 is still the best game. They do too much with this franchise and it has now become exclusively all about the money and it really irritates me that they have already created Battlefield Hardline.

    This may be the official last Battlefield Game I ever buy... purely for the fact that they keep rebuilding the beast... if they want to go this far then they should just make it a P2P MMO.

    When I look at it statistically, this game comes out at about $70 retail and then people wind up paying another $100 for all the: expansions, Weapon Kit Shortcuts and Premium status; the shortcut kits have been designed to be more useful in such a way because items are practically random now from the suitcase bundles...

    They've already duped us into paying $15/month to play this game without them being held accountable for all of the Hackers running Injectable code cheats in this game.

    Look at the release date, this game isn't even a year old yet and it's already being phased out by Battlefield Hardline; which is a whole new kind of garbage...

    Talk about encouraging the existence of a Police State and Criminals with Guerrilla Military style weapons. It's just not right to advocate the killing of Police...ever...    … Expand

    At its core battlefield is all about epic battles on a big scale with cool toys and gadgets to somewhat simulate real warfare.

    Now EA and DICE have rolled out patch after patch, steadily the game is getting better but still, to be this far into the game and still to have some major problems? that's unacceptable. The one thing you will notice though, is that all of these problems are server based.

    If you can get beyond the inconsistencies of the game connection, there is still a lot of fun to be had. The graphics are as usual, brilliant, the audio through-out the game is incredible, seriously, play a game of large conquest with some headphones on, I guarantee you, you may soil yourself. OK maybe not, but you get the jist of it.

    I gave Battlefield a 6/10 for a reason. Had I done this review a few months back, the score would of been a lot lower and you could possibly say that I could return to this review in a few months and the game will be worth a higher rating.

    I know this game is all about multi player but someone should really address just how bad the campaign was, it was a woefully bad experience! it was like watching one of the worst movies you've ever seen.
    the single player campaign could have done with much more work. and again, this is something that most reviewers just don't care to mark down, like this part of the game never exists. its still a component of the game, even if most people buy it for the multiplayer the solo side should still have a large amount of consideration. when you add these two bad gameplay experiences together it should impact the overall score significantly enough to drop it down from good to average.
    i'm not going to give this something ridiculous like 0 because it has merits and there are a lot of good things that reviewers did pick up on and that I agree with but I am giving this a lower score than what the average critics gave it as I think thats correct and fair in light of its flaws.
    I seriously hope they fired the people responsible for dragging this game down and employ some people who can do the job properly to work on hardline. if hardline is anything like this then make a point of NOT buying it. they've got to win people back by showing they are capable of providing a gaming experience that is worth your money.    … Expand

The level/building destruction is nice but as it plays out in the gameplay mechanics is still not a main feature and offers mostly cinematic value. Where as if someone was hiding behind a wall from your tank in the pre-destruction battlefield games the only difference now is that they will have to hide further back or retreat behind another wall or object to gain protection. In a way this is balancing, but it still feels like there's not much point to leveling a building in BF 4.

    When it came out this game was a non functioning POS and even when it did function the servers would only update the clients 10 times a second which as it turns out is the worst thing you could do to a visceral FPS experience. EA titles should always be approached with caution knowing that their first priority is revenue and having a decent (or functioning) gaming experience is NOT a priority at all. The only reason it got fixed is because nobody would have bought their subsequent battlefield games if their last one was still broken 2 years after release.

    That said... today battlefield 4 is a polished functional and GOOD experience. The formula has been mostly graphically upgraded from BF 3 but the formula remains true. Unfortunately there has really not been enough innovation in modern mainstream video games to render this obsolete.

    So if you're looking for a FPS that involves large numbers of troops fighting as infantry and in vehicles, on good maps, includes some creative strategic thinking, with great graphics, and offers squad play as it's key dynamic its hard to go wrong with battlefield 4.

    The only thing to take note of is that you will encounter in almost any game, players who use cheats to see positions of other players. This is not the same as using the minimap. The most common type shows boxes around each enemy even behind walls and across the map. It is extremely obvious who these players are and often nothing is done about it. Because of this, I'm giving this game 1 point lower of a score. It cannot be overlooked however in the end it is not gamebreaking.    … Expand

    Quite a time has passed after the game release, and most of the issues are fixed by now. However, you can't escape the past and after all patches which have came out the core of the game can't be changed.

    So what is about it? There are so many gadgets and weapons in this game that around 40% I have not and would not use at all. Why? Because most of them are purposeless or there are other options of weapons of perks which are far superior to the rest of the content in the game.

    Map variation is OK, there are a lot of them and you certainly will find a couple which perfectly suit your style or preference.

    Graphics? Nothing too special, even though Shanghai tower falling looks really cool.

    Gameplay and stability? If you look back at the launch state, this game was absolute crap, as I was spending on average 10-15 minutes looking for the server which was not crashing. Moreover, **** net code was adding fuel to the flame confirming that EA pretty much does not care about quality of the product at the release state.

    As I am writing this review now most of the issues were fixed and there are loads of people playing this game, as it is far more attractive than BF Hardline and most of the people are tired of BF 3.

    So, If I was writing this review in 2013, I would give 1-3 just because how bad this game was, but after 2 years passed even bunch of crappy programers could manage fixing big issues, therefore leaving BF 4 at OK state, still with problems like reload bug and unbalanced weapons present.    … Expand

    Genelde bu tür oyunların hayatta kalma ve hikaye kısımlarını seven, 3-4 kişilik seçkin bir tim ile kahramanca çarpışmayı keyifle icra eden biriyim. bu yüzdendir ki cod mw 1-2-3'te nice çılgın atmalar yaşadık john başgan, nikolai ve maktıraviş ile.

    Bu oyunun bütçesi nedir, kimler yönetmiştir, kaç mühendis çalışmıştır bilmiyorum; olmamış da demek istemiyorum böyle güzel bir emeğe, lakin    Genelde bu tür oyunların hayatta kalma ve hikaye kısımlarını seven, 3-4 kişilik seçkin bir tim ile kahramanca çarpışmayı keyifle icra eden biriyim. bu yüzdendir ki cod mw 1-2-3'te nice çılgın atmalar yaşadık john başgan, nikolai ve maktıraviş ile.

    Bu oyunun bütçesi nedir, kimler yönetmiştir, kaç mühendis çalışmıştır bilmiyorum; olmamış da demek istemiyorum böyle güzel bir emeğe, lakin sıkıcı olmuş. ara sahnelerde öldüm sıkıntıdan. Hikaye kopuk, ne için ve niye savaştığımızı bile pek bilmiyoruz. sadece tipik amerikan tarzı dünya görüşüyle, kime neden saldırdığımızı bilmeden bize karşı olan herkesi öldürüp üslerini ele geçirmek için yetiştirilmiş binlerce askerden birkaçıyız bu oyunda.Cod'da öyle değil ama, her şeyin bir nedeni ve operasyonların bir karizması, ağırlığı var. operasyonların sonunda elde ettiğimiz şeyler verdiğimiz kayıplara değiyor. Lakin üzülerek söylüyorum ki bu oyunda böyle bir şey yok.

    Takdir etmek gerekir ki, bireysel çatışmalardaki silah sesleri ile aksamları ve öldürme hadisesi çok gerçekçi olmuş. Hele kaliteli bir kulakiçi kulaklığınız varsa oradaymışçasına oyunun atmosferine kapılıveriyorsunuz. Sıktığınız asker önce dengesini kaybediyor, silahınızın gücüne ve nişan kabiliyetinize göre de bir veya iki kurşun sonra düşman ölüyor. Bunu resmen alkışladım pc başında, çok başarılı.
    Ama söylemeden geçilmemesi gerekiyor ki, ekibiniz hiçbir işe yaramıyor çatışmada. Kaldı ki tüm düşman askerleri sadece size sıkıyor, kafanızı dahi kaldırmak güçleşiyor. Ekip arkadaşlarınız bir halta yaramadığı gibi, güvenemiyorsunuz da hiçbirine.

    Bu tür ölüm-kalım mücadelelerinde sırtınızı yasladığınız adamlara güvenmeniz çok önemlidir. Örneğin tarihteki bazı savaşlarda 10-20 bin kişilik sağlam bir ordunun 40-80 bin arasındaki düşman ordusunu eze eze mağlup etmesi gibi. Bu ordudaki personelin cesaretine, yeteneklerine ve daha da önemlisi birbirlerine güvenine bağlıdır. Ama bu oyunda bu yok. fazla hümanist ve doğruları daima uygulayan bir irish, cool görünen ama bir halta yaramayan pac, dost mu düşman mı belli olmayan çinli bir kızla beraber savaşıyorsunuz.

    Cod'da bu böyle değil. ne kadar zor durumda olursanız olun, durumun farkında olup size moral vermeye çalışan başgan pırays'ın "haydi millet bitiriyoruz"vari söylemiyle kendinize gelip çılgınlar atabiliyorsunuz. daima sizi gözeten bir büyük abiniz varmışçasına. veya soap'ın profesyonel nişancılığına kendinizi emanet edip 5 askerin arasına korkusuzca dalabiliyorsunuz. ve ne kadar kapana kısılmış olursanız olun, nikolai'nin bir yerlerden bir helikopterle gelip sizi oradan alacağını biliyorsunuz. takım arkadaşlığı önemlidir.

    tıpkı maradona'nın topun nereye atılacağını hissetmiş gibi ardına bakmadan pasın geleceği yere koşup attığı o efsanevi gol gibi.
    sorduklarında "oraya atacağını biliyordum" derken, hissediyorsunuz o takım ruhunu, bir olmayı.

    Tüm bunları göz önüne aldım ve amaçsız şekilde ilerleyişten sıkılıp, az önce tamamladıktan sonra oyunu sildim. Çatışmalardan keyif almakla beraber, 20 metre ötedeki adama tankın otomatik tüfeğiyle defalarca sıkıp öldürememek de nedir? Geçiyor ağacın arkasına ve ölmüyor eşek kadar mermilerle ağaç yıpranmıyor. tank var yahu altınızda, yuh! Oyunun eksikleri var ve bireysel çatışmalar hariç (onların da bazıları) keyif vermeyen bir oyun hikaye moduyla.

    Co-op multi oynamadım, ona güzel diyorlar. Belki bir gün, kim bilir...    … Expand

    This game is worst game in series . In this game bad optimization, graphics almost like in BattleField 3 . In this game terrible gameplay and this game has got high requirements for such graphics . The only thing which is the average in this game this is storyline and it doesn't very good, just average . Bad Game .

    Firstly there was a surprise, at the the end the disapointment. Game looks like a DLC for BF3, at first look almost nothing has changed. Multiplayer is great but after a few hours a little bit more stereotypical than BF3. For me BF3 was better, it was something new in a serie with a beautiful visual and free gameplay, this seems like a poor cousin of BF3 and I don't now exactly why, maybeFirstly there was a surprise, at the the end the disapointment.

For me BF3 was better, it was something new in a serie with a beautiful visual and free gameplay, this seems like a poor cousin of BF3 and I don't now exactly why, maybe the game just needed more time to be more different and not only a same as the previous game. In fact I am more into singleplayer than MP, so i was looking forward to play these, because SP in BF3 was quite good in my opinion, but this time it was only MEH ... if you want a good modern combat FPS with tanks, aircrafts and things like this keep playing BF3.

    + Visual
    + solid gameplay
    + Huge arsenal
    +/- MP is really good, but BF3 is better
    - dissapointment in SP and a few decisions at the end of the game can not improve it
    - nothing has really changed
    - no inovations
    - total stupid AI in SP (for me the most retarded AI after Homefront)

    P.S. Don't buy it if you only want to play SP, better buy ArmA 3, Modern Warfare remastered if you want modern combat FPS.    … Expand

    от 3 части не далеко ушла, игра посредственная как по мне, сюжет просто мертвый, графика приятная и на этом плюсы закончились. Про баги промолчу. 6/10

    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.
