    The game simply does not work. The vast majority of games that I play I cannot finish because of CRASHES. Even if the game didn't CRASH it would still be mediocre due to the bugs and glitches.
    DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, IT DOES NOT WORK.

    As Chinese player, some of us have to use an monthly-paid internet connection booster to play the game. Otherwise the game will lose connection while in Loading Level stage.

    Anyway, the game is great.

    Anyone also playing this game for the SP campaign is foolish why they even include it, I don't know I would mark them down here if I cared (I only play it for the M249)
    Overall, this is the best current MP shooter game available I don't care if you have a hard-on for COD or CS1.6 this has the best mix for customisability/graphics/environment and realism (aside from ARMA) available.
    Whilst I don't think this game's initial maps were as good as BF3 (except Paracel Storm) I think the variation within each level is amazing i.e. you can have close quarter fighting in a map with vehicles this brings a whole new dynamic to the game that we didn't have in BF3
    I think, like BF3 (and remember enthusiasts, BF3 wasn't without a massive amount of issues too) BF4 will improve as the title goes on for the next 2 years e.g. the Sniper class NEEDS to be nerfed it is far to COD like (to note, this is a negative) and too easy to master

    Overall I mark this down for the required tweaks, but am not emotional enough to let it ruin an otherwise perfect game!    … Expand

    I love the new multiplayer! It's the second Battlefield that I play and it's just awesome! Some say, the destruction of buildings is just eyecandy but I disagree. You can use destroyed buildings as protection and the "Levolution" thingy forces the people to change their strategy in mid-game.

    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.

    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 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

    The game modes are really cool and so are the graphics and the gameplay, but to be honest, its hardly possible to finish one round without stumbling into an bug.

    In addition to the bug nightmare I am also not very happy how the game design treats casual gamers: it says you' to them. Through leveling you get one weapon after the other in a specific order. But I don't want to judge them for only behaviour, because this behaviour is/was common behaviour, its the way how they implemented it: You are leveling so slow that its not possible to see the light in the end of the tunnel....

    Bugs can be fixed and my critics to the game design can be fixed too. I hope they can achieve to fix at least the bugs any time soon.    … Expand

I am extremely upset that I not only bought this garbage but preordered base game and premium. DO NOT BUY! They game is still in a beta state nearly a month after coming out! Instead of a shinned up turd like say COD what you get here is a turd smothered golden nugget. Underneath all of the terrible problems and CRASHING there seems to be a good game. That said this is NOT a good game. This game might be good one day after their 50th server patch (they are already on their 10th as of a week before this review). They have taken this game from alpha like state when it launched to a beta like state that it currently is. The worse part is the improvement is sporadic. They one week make it better then the next it is worse just to have to be patched again! MAPS: How a big game like this launched with multiple broken maps is beyond me. Maps will have levelution events that crash the game everytime, and some maps have "corrupted sound files" (that's DICE's explanation) that will leave you playing every game on that map with NO SOUND for about 85% of the game. Some maps even have big issues like spawn points not working for no apparent reason leaving you to spawn elsewhere and run 5 minutes to get back to the action. CRAZY! No one of the worst offenders is the netcode. It is so bad that people report objects exploding when the RPG that hits it is only half way their on your screen! Good luck dodging locked on rockets when the warning lockon starting sound only happens after it hits you! Want to snipe? Good luck. That new bullet smoke trail for others to see is on your screen as well for no apparent reason other then to make sure you can't see where your own bullets are going. Overcame all that and had a good match? Too bad you crashed near the end and get NOTHING. All your stats from that match are wiped, unlocks relocked, exp taken back, ect. To top all that off they will lower your "skill" level by near 30 freaking points. Tried to join a game they automatically put you in but they also filled it before connecting you? They kick you, tell you its full now, then take away skill points because you "quit". This game is so anti competitive that it amazes me. BF4 will NEVER be a competitive shooter that people care about because of netcode, and stat wiping, and just the general problems that plague it. I LOVE the Bad Company games but this will be the last EA game that I ever buy. Simscity, BF4, Rivals, ect. They keep releasing these terrible not working games and expect more and more money for them.… Expand

    Singleplayer might be just an addition to the game but is simply awfull. It's the worst singleplayer I've seen in over 15 years of gaming, with messed up story, plain boring characters, bugs around every corner and not even a little bit fun. Which is even worse you need to complete it in order to unlock weapons for multiplayer.

    Multiplayer on the other hand has a lot of potential but players are brutally punished by a rushed release of the game. It's been over 3 weeks since the release and a bunch of patches has been released. Unfortunatelly they only fixed a few of the problems. The biggest ones still persist:
    - optimalization issues on many different PC setups
    - game freezing
    - long map loading times (unless you have SSD)
    - poor netcode
    - random game crashes

    On top of that we have poor class/vehicle/weapon balance and most of the maps are way too small. Anyone who tried playing Zavod with 64 players will know what I mean.

    Battlefield 4 can become a great game... someday. Right now it needs A LOT of patching and minor fixes instead of rushing with DLCs.

With the new customization options soldier classes are the most diverse they ever have been. The game is beautiful as well and level design is unique and fun. but it does fall short of some of the BF3 maps like metro, and seine. With that being Said DICE has a long track record of providing map packs for its games, and soon the most popular Bf3 maps will be brought to this game on the new frostbite 3 engine.

    Gameplay: The game plays very similar to Battlefield 3 with a more tactical feel, and a more serious tone to the single player campaign. The guns feel realistic, the hit detection on enemies is improved. Unlimited sprinting, and sprinting while reloading. All types of vehicles which are fun to control and play a great part in the campaign. The campaign has more action, and better scripted events than the previous BF. The multiplayer consists of huge player battles, and the maps seem a lot better than Battlefield 3. This is one of the perfect FPS's on the market. Compared to COD, this is more of a realistic shooter rather than an arcade shooter. The single player was just way too short even on the hardest difficulty, but BF games are known for their multiplayer experience. 9.5.

    Story: The game plays out like a scripted hollywood movie, and while I did enjoy the story's progression, it quickly falls short and dull, and the choice at the end is just ridiculous. We all wanted to go in ourselves. With that said, the emotions that they try to put in this game are just looked passed, and not given much thought. The characters seem interesting but the short campaign doesn't allow enough time to feel familiar with these characters which also makes the endings decision not much of an impact. 7.

    Replay Value: Short campaign, but endless multiplayer. Co-op is no longer apart of the package, I would still recommend this game for people who enjoy endless unscripted multiplayer battles. 8.5.

    Its like a new map pack, with horrible maps. This isnt a new game. Its a rebranded BF3. Its a gimmick with a large price tag. Im still very disappointed they didnt do away with the seperate server browser. You still have to launch the game from a browser. Even after all the backlash about that in BF3? Why would they do this? The moment I saw that I realized I made a mistake in purchasingIts like a new map pack, with horrible maps. This isnt a new game. Its a rebranded BF3.

If you want a good battlefield game go back to Bad Company 2, I sure as hell wont be buying into anymore battlefield titles, and EA.… 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.
