    I tried to give it time, hoped it would be patched, but no that hasn't happened yet. It's a buggy piece of **** very frustrating to play. BF3 was excellent this is not, last time I will purchase a BF game.

    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

    Where do I start? This piece of **** claims to be a "game"? It has multiple problems:

    Also, to claim that this is a "game" is utter nonsense, the single player "campaign" cannot be called a game for any reason. You run inside a goddamn pipe doing EXACTLY what your NPC friends say otherwise it will reload and you just have to do it.

    In BAKU you have to "spot the targets" for someone presumably in helicopter, this is next to impossible, by pressing Q and something else I finally managed to do it but it took me almost an hour. YOU_JUST_CANT
    _FKING_DESIGNATE (PRESS QQQQQQQ PRESS whatever **** key))))

    so yeah after that. There is the "Burn those **** - "scene" which I could not pass even after 20 tries.

    Multiplayer is not much better; it could be, but its too damn HECTIC. If you shoot for example a tank with your panzerfaust, it takes almost 1, max 2 seconds for you to die. They somehow "know" where you are all the time. Other times you get reaped by people from levels > 140. WTF

    This game is made so much for someone who just wants to glide through, but messed up because this is really made for consoles and PC version suffers.

    SHAME on anyone responsible for this utter horse****. This piece of whatever is made purely to grab your money. Avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    Utter crap. A buggy piece of **** where nothing seems to be working. Getting shot behind cover, bullets suddenly taking off in random directions, hits not registering, hits not registering with proper damage, pistol one-shot kills etc. etc. Ever second kill in this game is caused by some weird bug. At least. Do a Youtube search for "Battlefield 4 netcode" if you don't believe me.

In single player if you shoot an enemy in the face be prepared for them to get straight back up and shoot at you and this is more irritating than the Ai possessing the ability to warp in new baddies like something from bloody star trek.

The multi-player is better but still not great (I have more fun on Planetside2 or Ghost Recon for example), something about the gun mechanics and movement just don't fit right (weapon feedback seems more like COD than previous games to me).

With US and Russian conflicts at an all-time high due to the events of BF3--and with China on the verge on siding with the Russians due to the assassination of their leader being blamed on the US--it's up to you and your squad mates to help prevent war from breaking out. As a story, it's not that bad. The voice acting is once again great; the characters are slightly better and more memorable this time around compared to BF3; and the settings are still nice and varied. Unfortunately, you're still a boring silent protagonist with no personality. Overall, the campaign is better than BF3, but it could still be improved upon. 6/10

    Gameplay: The shooting remains largely the same as in BF3 (although with no stupid panic-knifing enemies), but with the added addition of squad gameplay. Since you lead Tombstone squad, you can spot enemies for them to shoot, and have them enter vehicles and fight with you. You can also change what weapons and gadgets you use in the campaign to suit your play-style. All of the improvements are nice, but the gameplay is still largely the same as before. 6/10

    Graphics: In short, the graphics are everything that made BF3 gorgeous, but made even better and without the annoying blue tint. Although, the vehicle collision and character models can still be better. 9/10

    Sound: DICE is excellent at creating realistic sound designs in their BF games. The sound here is everything from BF3, but once again, made even better. Simple as that. 10/10

    Multiplayer: Unfortunately, the MP here is disappointing when compared to BF3, and it's not because of its launch issues. For starters, the 4 infantry classes from BF3 return with some tweaks made to their arsenal. One big new feature is "Levolution"--a mostly gimmicky feature where each map has a scripted large-scale destruction sequence (like a building collapsing) caused by player action, and it only affects one part of the map. There are also an abundant amount of vehicles--land, air, and sea--to use from with improved unlock orders; Commander mode--a mode where 1 person steps away from the battlefield and gives orders to all squads on a team in hopes of leading them to victory--returns from BF2 with a few new features that might be considered balance issues like highlighting areas with radar; Assignments--challenges from BF3 that rewarded you with guns and customization items--are also available to add more replay value to the game; the suppression was balanced; and there are still a plethora of gadgets to use. There's a lot to like about BF4, but there are also some MAJOR flaws in its system. The game does have 10 maps, but these maps aren't as fun as 3 and often feature plenty of camping spots like the rooftops of buildings where the only way you can get up there is usually with a helicopter; but even then, you'll probably have to deal with a few squads of campers which might lead to a death. Outside of conquest, these maps mostly SUCK for other modes like Deathmatches or Rush. And speaking of modes, there is a lack of new game modes here. Besides Conquest, Rush, Deathmatches, and Domination (rip-off of CoD's domination mode), there are only 2 new ones, and both flopped. There's Defuse--BF4's attempted response to CoD's Search and Destroy mode that failed--and Obliteration--a "CoD Sabatage-style" mode with 3 bombs on both sides that flops because of the large map size, and the limitation of only 1 bomb carrier; so if you spawn far away from him, the mode becomes a running simulator since you'll have to get up to where the action's happening. The counter-knife system--where if you knife a guy in the front, a QTE pops up--sucks, but 4's BIGGEST sin is it's progression system. For starters, there are an excessive amount of guns to choose from, and while it's good for allowing more customization for the player, there's so many guns that they all start to feel the same. Why would I need 9 different sniper rifles if they all perform the same? It's like DICE copied and pasted several gun stats and merely changed the looks. And unlike BF3, you DON'T unlock guns by progressing your class as the 2 are separate. This means you HAVE to get kills with that gun class in order to unlock more guns. With all classes that have the last gun at somewhere in-between 48K-83K, you would need HUNDREDS of gun kills and assists in order to progress. This is all on top of that same stupid attachment progression system from 3. There are also Battlepacks--packs of random loot from attachments to XP boosts--that are very much unnecessary and almost pay-to-win due to the awful progression system. This game, essentially, is a major GRIND-FEST that only gets fun once you have everything you wanted unlocked, and good luck with that. 6/10

    Verdict: The game had promise, but with a grind-y progression system, and maps that only work for Conquest, Conquestfield 4 disappoints.

    Battlefield 4 is better than Battlefield 3 in almost every way, although it must be said that the game is still rather unstable in its current state.

The campaign is still quite dull, but its hard to criticise the game because of that, since Battlefield is definitely a multiplayer game. There are many great improvements over Battlefield 3: the graphics and sound are better, the interface has been improved and you can now select spawn locations by clicking on the map with the mouse. The best change in my opinion is that most of the maps are great. To be frank, most of the maps in Battlefield 3 were terrible. There are so many great maps here and there is a good mix of large open fields, islands and buildings. Parcel Storm in particular is really great and reminds me of Invasion of the Philippines from Battlefield 1942. The weather even changes, forcing large waves and gusty winds. Flood Zone is also good but to be honest, once the water level rises, it does get a bit ridiculous as the match turns into a swim- a-thon rather than a battle. Other maps such as Rogue Transmission and Lancang Dam are also great and improve upon the let downs that Battlefield 3 presented.
    In all, Battlefield 4 improves Battlefield 3 in almost every way. Sure, it may seem a bit of a stretch to pay full price for a game that seems to be very similar to its predecessor. But the many subtle improvements make it a great purchase. Once the wrinkles are ironed a little further, this will be a truly great online FPS game. Its even better optimised that Battlefield 3 too and runs flawlessly on my laptop!    … Expand

The real problem is that some people can't even complete it, and you need it to unlock the weapons in the game. The multiplayer is awesome when it works properly.

    At its core battlefield is all about epic battles on a big scale with cool toys and gadgets to somewhat simulate real warfare. This game does that but it has terrible net code and some weird game mechanic choices. I am a fan of Battlefield but after six months this game still has lots of issues and I would only recommend it at a discounted price.

    Battlefield 4 - basically a dumb down and even more casualized (yes I made that word up) version of BF3 except with more customization.

Pro's compared to BF3 in my opinion. -More variation and customization across the board including weapon    Battlefield 4 - basically a dumb down and even more casualized (yes I made that word up) version of BF3 except with more customization.

    This review is going to be directed toward players coming from BF3 and will be multiplayer focused, more of a comparison if you will.

    Pro's compared to BF3 in my opinion.

    -More variation and customization across the board including weapon accessories, weapons themselves, kit upgrades and gadgets.

    -Improvement in overall sound quality (gun report echos etc)

    -More game modes

    -strengthened naval combat presence.

    Now the Con's compared to BF3 in my opinion.

    -Serious hit reg and lag issues (apparently being worked on alongside all the typical expensive EA DLC)

    -Average projectile speed about 50% the speed of a comparable projectile in BF3 (everything that can be fired moves much slower then it's BF3 counterparts to the point of feeling as if some weapons are more similar to space weapons (see halo series covenant weapons). This makes for much more drug out fights over medium to long distances especially with most vehicle weapons.

    -Bullet spread and inaccuracy even higher then in BF3, (you want to see a newer FPS game doing small arms right?, give Insurgency a try.

    -Even more conquest uncap spawn rape then BF3 matches normally experience.

    Now taking these con's into consideration from what I've experienced in-game this has turned BF4 into more of an imprecise game of chance and guesswork where your PDW and carbine bullets move at the speed of your average pellet gun (meaning firing at a guy 50m away running to the side requires you to shoot an absurd and unrealistically far distance ahead of him to hit) and your 120mm tank cannon acts more like an over-sized potato gun or T-shirt launcher rather then a real cannon. (No biggie at 1 kilometer you only have to aim approx 100 feet above target to be on).

    Now I know this game isn't mean't to be all about realism etc but they definitely took an even bigger step away from reality, competitiveness and skill based gameplay with BF4 compared to BF3. Obviously they're choosing to make it more approachable and tolerable to lower skilled and casual players so as to sell more but this version is beyond something I can enjoy playing online. Its much harder to consistently hit targets with most weapons at further ranges, thus forcing players to get very close to each other before being able to engage semi-reliably.

    This game will do just fine as the market for casual gamers is huge. (see last 5 years of COD clones for proof) But for those of us that enjoy a stronger level of teamwork, realism and skill in our games It's safer to stick with BF3 or even better yet BFBC2, both are much better games then BF4 in my opinion even with their age and lack of refined customization and weapon variety.    … Expand

    Where to start... I'll start with the good features of battlefield: 64 player multi-player, good weapon customization, and platoon based clans / large player grouped communities.

    Here is what they got wrong: They pushed the game out in an unfinished state back in October of 2013; ever since then it's just been one giant beta test (funny story, they already did a beta test before    Where to start... I'll start with the good features of battlefield: 64 player multi-player, good weapon customization, and platoon based clans / large player grouped communities.

    Here is what they got wrong: They pushed the game out in an unfinished state back in October of 2013; ever since then it's just been one giant beta test (funny story, they already did a beta test before releasing the game) to try to get the game in somewhat decent condition. It's been a full year now since the release of the game, and they managed to fix "some" of the bugs and glitches. (For some reason, they also had their Battlepack micro transactions perfectly intact during launch, but the game was broken). The single player campaign is a joke, as it's only purpose is showing off the features of the game's features and capabilities, rather than gameplay. A great example of this is with the 3rd mission "South China Sea", you enter the remains of an aircraft carrier to find a data stick. during the mission, you have to go under water to get to another area of the mission. This segment had no effect on the gameplay or story, but only served to show off the underwater physics and effects. As of October 8th, 2014, they have release nearly all of their dlc; so I might as well review those pieces of content as well.

    China Rising: This dlc is OK, as it provided maps that appealed to all the classes in the game. However, the "Levelutions" are missing from these maps; they either rushed this expansion out as well, or decided that levelution was just to much for the engine of the game (or to much of a gimmick for anyone to care about).

    Second Assault: This is basically a couple of maps from Battlefield 3 that they implemented into Battlefield 4. This map pack is actually pretty good as it added weather "levelutions" to some of the maps and improved on the already well known maps.

    Navel Strike: oh my god; what didn't they mess up on this map pack (this is where I started to really have problems with their game). First of all, the weapons in this expansion are either over powered (AWS, AR160), ore are the weakest, most worthless guns in the game (SR338, SW40). Textures would start rendering as i played (on all their maps including vanilla maps), and for some stupid reason, my FPS was throttled down during gameplay (unless i restarted my PC every time I wanted to play BF4). These aren't the only issues I had with this expansion pack; the map designs sound cool (with island warfare and attack boats ), but fails in gameplay. Traversing the maps are a chore if you don't have a boat or an air craft. objectives are easy to hold once you clear the island of enemy players (cause boats and choppers are sky-lined in the big empty water). Also this expansion had the BIG reveal of the mystic Megaladon; honestly, they put more work into a prehistoric shark, than they did fixing their own game.... let that sink in...

    Dragon's Teeth: Same as China Rising, but with levelutions.. so it's an OK expansion.

    Conclusion: Do I want to play a game that requires me to restart my computer in order to get maximum performance?

    Do I want to play a game where the developers put more effort into Easter Eggs and forum events than fixing the game?

    Do I want to play a game that's still in beta testing (yes it's still in beta testing, it's called Battlefield CTE. CTE = Community, TEST, Environment)?

    The answer is no. I did have high hopes for this game, I really did. However, this game ultimately failed to deliver. DICE should be ashamed of themselves for: 1.) releasing the game in a broken state. 2.) failing to fix the game in a timely manner. For me, Battlefield 4 ruined the reputation of DICE as a development team. I'm sorry DICE, but i'll never play one of your games again, not after what I experienced with BF4.    … Expand

And Battlefield 4's HD experience is ruined by the unstable game engine, slow matchmaking and server connections, dodgy connections in general, and the constant pestering to give EA more money.

    I don't believe for one second that microtransactions and DLC are inherently bad. But how they're implemented can either enhance the game and make the developers a lot more money, or can completely ruin the experience. In Battlefield 4, it's the latter. It's one thing to include a microtransaction system in a free-to-play game. But when your game costs $60 USD, you're already pushing it. BF4 continues to be updated with expansion packs, which cost $15 each. Sure, you can just not buy them- but good luck finding a server that doesn't require them! Even servers playing on stock BF4 maps still regularly reject players who do not have the expansion packs installed. Players can also pay money to skip leveling (a feature common across almost all next-gen titles, unfortunately) and get a "premium membership" where their XP earned is doubled. This trend of "double XP" modes in games has already made the EXP/leveling system pop up in games where you'd least expect it as a cheap cop-out way to add microtransactions into the game. The worst part of paying to skip leveling is the massive number of inexperienced little kids running around with all the best weapons in the game because they got a hold of their mom's credit card. It totally ruins the balance of the game.

    On top of all that, Battlefield 4 just isn't that much different from its predecessor to warrant me forking over $60, or more like $100+ if I actually want to play. Levelution is naught but a gimmick. 90% of the time, levelution-based changes to the map are purely aesthetic and hardly affect gameplay at all. And when you consider how slow the server connections are, even on the fastest fiber optic connections, and how buggy and unstable the game is, you're better off sticking to BF3.    … Expand

    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

    Ok, first I played this game from the time of its release 2013, until now 2015.
    And I have to say, they changed a lot,
    not only the gameplay itself, also they added the so called CTE(Community Test Environment) and they added new night maps and are in development for other free maps, which are remakes from the older Battlefield's(the community could decide which ones).

    The singleplayer is.. Not good.. No, not only "Not good" it's like.. Did you ever wondered how leukemia would taste like if it is a food? Yeah, sounds accurate.

    In 2013 it was a Battlefield 3.5 more or less, I have to admit that, it had bugs, like a lot of bugs, like wow, so many bugs.
    The netcode was just laughable, the only good things were the gunplay, the designs, the animations(although they could add some new levelution animations, because the current ones are getting annoying) and that's it.
    Most of those problems may be because of its early release, but now after almost 2 years later the game plays completely different.
    (I still hate the unlock system and the **** ship-trash, but atleast they offer you something for your money, 4 new maps, new weapons, new gamemodes and now after the release the whole thing is a lot of cheaper, and definetely worth it).

    They overworked the netcode, now it has a better netcode than any CS, which was always praised for its Netcode, 60Hz servers are now common(at least in CTE).
    A lot of patches overworked the bugs and missing gameplay features and unbalanced weapons.

    Everything has been overworked, even the loading times, which annoy some people as it seems.
    (Don't join a full server, or get rid off your bad Internet).

    The unlock system is still bad and I hate it, but it's a modern multiplayer game and sadly it's common to do that in such games.

    They are still developing a lot of new content, apologizing for its bad release.
    DICE LA is trying hard to get the best experience out of this game and the managed it, now (2015) it's awesome and one of the best multiplayer games and Battlefield's of all time.

You can make a good argument for giving it a 5/10 (but not lower than that) when considering that this game can be summarized as an inferior version of BF3, but this argument becomes less and less relevant as the online BF3 servers become more and more sporadic.

Not only is it predictable, it denies all sense, and loves riding the sino-russian thing to the grave. We get it. It's an easy idea to run off of. I paid you ~$70. Show me you deserve it. It's not enough to demand that much for basically the same game with only a new gloss--which wasn't really needed for the game experience (yay, realistic sun in my eyes... great, now can i have the key/control that lets me present my realistic hand to block the angle of the sun?.....? well? if you're going to waste so much time adding irritants, you're not doing yourself any favors here...)It's not enough to pay $70 to also update the game and essentially present it as a hacker-free environment... it's going to last for all of 3-6 months at best.

It was very quick and easy to access this customization. Despite having played the beta and played this game for a while, the entire thing is still opaque to me. The amount of information available is a bit ridiculous, especially where it neither adds to the game, nor to the player's awareness of the fire-arms.

    -3 for a ridiculous single player campaign. Single player was the main driving reason for which I buy games, it also has to be fun to play solo, and re-playable. Some stories are brilliant, and there are games I enjoy re-playing for the single-player component. The single player in this was trash. And that's ignoring the fact that a squad of mentally disabled children would have been more effective for helping you play through the single player than the AI that governs the single-player team-mates.

    -3 for what is fundamentally a recycle with a spit-polish. I appreciate that there is only so much that can be done with an idea, but, really, I just don't see what Dice has tried to do in order to keep my loyalty apart from un-necessarily lavishing me with more guns to choose from. I expected the beta release to be fairly elementary. It's not the case. The beta is exactly what you will buy.    … Expand

    Full of glitches and occasional game breaking bugs. The netcode is STILL bad, even after almost a dozen Battlefield games. I hope you like getting shot around corners before you even crest it! The menu is a complete mess of pretty colors and eye-searing white lines, making it difficult to navigate at all, and impossible to do quickly and efficiently.

    Graphics are sub-par. The game dazzles you with lots of pretty colored explosions, but it can't hide the 2004 style textures and modelling.

    Of course, you have to pay incredible amounts of money to get the full game experience.

    I haven't even scratched the surface. This game is very sub-par. Basically just Battlefield 3.2

    It's tragic, because BF2 was probably my favorite shooter of all time. But the series has just been so bad for so long. I'm done with it. And EA/Dice altogether.    … Expand

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

    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

    This game is absolutely broken full of bugs and even 4 months in the problems keep getting worse. I've lost all respect for EA and DICE.

    BUYERS BEWARE, stay away from this game.

    This game is .. not worth paying a dollar for and let me tell you why:

    * LOTS of bugs and glitches
    * LOTS of game crashes
    * Unbalanced weapons / explosives
    * Ridiculous spawnpoints right in front of an ennemy
    * Worst team-balance ever coded

    Really disappointed..

    As a HUGE Battlefield fan, I was looking forward to BF4 as i thought they might have learnt from all their mistakes in BF3.. I was dissapointed. Will no longer be supporting this franchise, and I dont say that lightly as DICE has given me at least 1000+ hours of entertainment in the past with the series.

    Totally buggy and unplayable game. Among the show-stoppers is a 0-health bug that makes some players invincible. This happens every fourth-third time you die, and DICE still hasn't fixed it.

    Don't buy it, don't fund this crap.

    Overall, not that good. BF4 is not a good progression in the game series. Basic game components are broken such as bad net code, glitches in gun-play, and unrefined game-play. The maps are not very good and over cluttered. This game was released far before it was ready and it shows. They tried to make it too much like CoD and less like Battlefield.

    I turned to Battlefield 4 because I am tired of the COD **** then I found it is even worse than COD !!!... The single player campaign task designs are so bad.. no Bots to play before I can join in Multiplayer.. how can I practice??? I will never buy any battlefield again. I played battlefield 3 before, it was slightly better than this latest crap.

    This game is full of problems. I don't even know where to start.
    How about the fact that I got this with my Radeon R9 graphics card for free and it still is horribly flawed and it's on the border of hatred?
    The main reason this game is horrible is because this game is carrying a **** ton of bugs that DICE and EA are ignoring. Oh, and also, the single player is a broken piece of ****.    This game is full of problems. I don't even know where to start.

    An incoherent mess of a game.

    The Good: Graphics (when on high)

    The bad: Everything else

    Spawn system: Enemies materialize off on their squad leaders when being engaged. Enemies materialize on points under capture at random areas. Enemies spawn out of the sky from choppers and fall down onto points. There is no semblance of a frontline. Enemies can be anywhere at any time very easily.

    Unlocks: Right off the bat you'll be playing against experienced players with access to better weapons and vehicle perks that completely dominate over the base guns/vehicle loadouts. Want to compete? Either be fodder for a few weeks and level up or pay to win by buying unlocks outright. Merit counts for very little in this game. It doesn't matter if you are an experienced, team oriented FPS gamer with a working microphone and a will to work with other players.... it counts for nothing in this game.

    Maps: Small. Lots of geometry which makes it difficult to spot enemies on the lower non anti-aliased detail settings. No real choke points. Lots of maps with many stupid high sniper points which basically ensures that you will often get killed from very high unexpected. Due to the spawn system, and the large number of entrances on every capture point, you'll have enemies coming at you from every direction and there is little you can do to play defensively to hold a point. It's Unreal Tournament deathmatch with capture points.

    Vehicles: All vehicles feel weak and underpowered without the unlocks. The way the choppers fly is a definite downgrade from BF2. Not agile one bit. Planes dominate and spawn frequently.

    Damage system: Baffling... to say the least. Once again unlocks have far better handling than the default weapons and are overall more effective. Guns seem to either be grossly overpowered or underpowered.

    As an original fan of the BF1942 and BF2, I find this game to be truly a piece of crap. It is an insufferable cash-grab. It has turned a once merit-driven team-based FPS into a pay-to-win clusterfu__ sh__fest with absolutely no redemable qualities. The type of game design you would expect to see on a free-to-play cell phone game and not on a $50 game that requires an expensive machine to play.

    Utter... complete... sh**. A disgrace to the team-based FPS genre. Par the course for EA Games published title.    … 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.
