    Please ignore the single player because it has alot of bugs,glitches,invisible walls and bad texture pop in.They didnt bother rendering 2 feet out of the bit they have designed for the level.The multiplayer is great as always!

    Great game in keeping with the BF tradition. The Battlepack system is a great addition and the graphics are insane. Early issues with crashing appear to be fixed and i havent had any issues in a while. I highly recommend.

    This game is alot of fun...it's just like BF3 which isn't a bad thing, although $60 for new maps is a little steep. Oh and it would be really cool if the game didn't have so many bugs upon release, I can only play about one match before the game crashes and then I have to try connecting to another match only to have it crash again after one game. Maybe they should do a beta next time.This game is alot of fun...it's just like BF3 which isn't a bad thing, although $60 for new maps is a little steep.

If not for the bugs I would give this game a higher rating 8 or 9 for fun factor and replayability, but the game crashing after one match, sound cutting out, lag, and other stuff that shouldn't be present in a released, it gets the lowly 6 of shame.… Expand

    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.

    First, Battlefield 4 is way better than any CoD game, that's a fact.
    The big fights on 32vs32 maps are fun, dynamic, beautiful.
    It's overall a good game. Though, this game has big weaknesses : -too much vehicles. It doesn't give a good idea of war combats. 10 infantry soldiers and 20 people in vehicles for each team kills the interest. You still can have fun not being in a vehicle,    First, Battlefield 4 is way better than any CoD game, that's a fact.

    Though, this game has big weaknesses :
    -too much vehicles. It doesn't give a good idea of war combats. 10 infantry soldiers and 20 people in vehicles for each team kills the interest. You still can have fun not being in a vehicle, but you'll probably kill less, die more and it may become frustrating at times.
    -the maps are not good. They are similar, not creative, not that interesting. After a few games, you've see, it all. They are also not very numerous, and if you want more, I guess you'll have to pay more.
    -The levolution is... not impressive. It's just scripts that launch at a certain time of the game and it's... yeah, meh. They basically built their trailers around it, and it's bland in game.
    -It's pretty much the same as BF3. I know a lot of people keep saying this, but it's true. It's the exact same thing, except two or three little things. And now that's a problem 'cause if you played a lot of BF3, no need to buy it. At all. Stay on the 3rd. For the first few hours, you'll have fun, then it will get boring very quickly and you'll regret the money you've spent.
    Same thing for the people who didn't like BF3, you won't like BF4 either.
    -They are selling a game $60 when it is barely playable. Crashes every 2 games, lags, freezes, bugs, ...
    The game is clearly not finished. For such a price, it would be legitimate to expect a new polished game.
    It's not new and not polished AT ALL.

    I wanted to give EA a chance with this game after what they said. It was BF, I really thought they wanted to take care of the series, at least because it could be a mountain of money. They didn't. This game is a failure. Not a complete failure, some things are good, but still a failure.
    Totally not worth the money.    … Expand

    Surprised that a lot is giving this game a 0. This game has been an epic experience from day one to now 2 or 3 weeks later. the single player is bland but the multilayer makes up for it. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was the day 1 glitches soon to be fixed

Then it happened....I NEVER INSTALLED THE 2nd DISK!!!! That's where the HD textures were hiding. THIS GAME ROCKS. I loved COD, and opted out of ghosts due to some pretty bad feedback and didn't want to shovel out another $60 just yet. I really enjoy conquest modes, and I guess I'm the only one who enjoys rush mode also. Looking forward to some new maps, but so far, I really do enjoy this game. Just wish I could pilot helicopters and planes, all in good time...… Expand

    Battlefield 4 is a epic game with many innovations and a big quantity of bugs, but if you stop to pay attention, the creators are launching updates that are improving since the launch, and if you wait they will correct the rest, like in battlefield 3, i believe you need to wait until they fix the bugs and then, you can buy one of the best games made.

    It's sad how this fantastic game gets bad reviews. The community here is full of haters who don't know their game and keep claiming that every BF game after BF2 is bad.

    BF4 filled all the missing features of 3, but is "bad because of bugs". BF3 is bad because it lacked all the features of the previous BFs.

    BF3 is bad because it lacked all the features of the previous BFs.
    BFBC2 is golden and better than 1943, but worse than BFBC1.
    BFBC1 is bad because it's only for consoles.
    BF2142 isn't as good as 2.
    BF2 is the best BF.
    Seriously, this is ridiculous. I will go as far as saying BF4 is the best BF yet, as it is currently clean of bugs, but still receiving updates for balancing issues, which are mostly fixed now. BF4 was, at the start, completely unplayable, but is now 100% functioning, and now they've balanced out the weapons and vehicles, and this is all because of a hard-working team called DICE LA-they're in fact the most supportive/active developers I've ever seen. In fact, if I read a new forum post or watch a new Lvlcap video about balancing issues, a week later, DICE LA has fixed it in the newest update, which makes me think that they check absolutely every corner of BF4 hate on the internet. They really do their job well and are saving BF4 from being a buggy unbalanced disaster
    Sure, BF4 has had the worst launch of any BF game, but it sure is one of the best multiplayer FPS out there now (If not THE best). It's a game that improved on everything amazing BF3 did wrong, and sure put every CoD game ever made to shame.    … Expand

This game was unfinished right from the start (even the beta was an alpha indeed) and was rushed to be released before COD. Yes, it introduces many new -and nice- features but turns into pure abomination in the end due to the constant freezing, disconnections and the countless bugs. On my ps3 system (don't begin to say the gameplay was intended for next-gen since there's something called "optimization" and if the PS3 system wasn't enough to deal with the game then it shouldn't be released for that console in the first place), it freezes on my "every" play and enough is enough. I regret that I even purchased Premium right from the start. The patches, on the other hand, didn't help at all. It's sad to see the Battlefield series at its current state. I hope BF5 will be tested properly and have more constant MP (as well as SP). My 5 out of 10 is dedicated to the fun I had with the game in spite of many frustrating moments. But I have to admit, this is the worst BF product ever.… Expand

The only maps that really have any Levolution are Siege of Shanghai, Flood Zone, and Paracel Storm. Those are the only maps where once the Levolution occurs, the maps are significantly different.

    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.
