    What can i say. i was booted from a single player game because my internet connection went down. are you having a laugh EA. SINGLE player. even if you are collecting data and metrics don't boot me because my connection went down. I wonder if they realise that the internet does not equal test LAN servers they operate in there dev studio.

    I record all my matches and realized that the problem was due to the game. The game has HORRID hit detection and netcode is at its worst. I empty full mags on enemies with their backs facing me and there are many hit marks on the crosshair. Yet they take 0 damage, turn around and instant kills me quite often.

    I wouldn't have a problem if BF3 was still alive and kicking. However, only 2 servers that ever show up on Battlelog for BF3 and it really **** everything up.

    I instead tried out some other FPS's like CS:GO and even TF2 and realized how much more fluid and crisp the gameplay was. None of this uncertainty of netcode and hit registration.

    This literally **** up the battlefield franchise for me because there is no good battlefield to play atm with people playing in them.    … Expand

Remember BF1942? Well, it's everything upside down in here. People spawning everywhere, falling on cap zones, atrociously bad hitboxes and what retards love the most: a **** of irrelevant crap on the screen, medals, badges, unlockables! Play 1000 hours to unlock that awesome skin or a dogtag! If the gameplay is about RNG killing/getting killed at the moment of spawning, delude yourself with that another tasty Super Seargant of Cool badge! Run around doing nothing and get 10000 points! Try to play with others - get stomped by a camper that spawned behind your zones in tasteless, designless levels!

    I feel dirty after playing it for few days. Unfortunately it's too late to get a refund.

    The new water system, dynamic maps, commander mode, and the improved effects are nice in Battlefield 4, but EA needs to slow down with the DLC. a high-end title should get no more than 3 DLC's, and DLC should be for an efficient price, and have actual content to offer. There are still many bugs in the game, even after the beta.

    Don't buy it yet. Game issues won't be sorted till at-least January. Its an absolute mess right now.
    Bullet hitreg is more miss than hit, the game is poorly optimized for all but the most powerful graphics cards.
    It crashes all the time and will frustrate you with its many bugs and lack of polish. Stay away until a good few months of patches have been applied!

    This is a good game, but i have a 50% quit rate because of the awesome bugs that kick you from servers. If this many people are having problems then don't release the game. Make sure it works first. My guess is that EA wants to win the worst company in the US for the third year in a row though, so they are just making sure that we vote for them.

    An unstable bug filled mess. No time was spent for Q/A and the product was released unfinished. I have yet to finish a match without the game or, worse, server crashing. When the server crashes you lose ALL progress. Highly advise to stay away for at least several months when they finally patch this game.

    For players looking for Rush gameplay, this BF4 is a sore disappointment.but if EA give us battlefield 2 and 3 with i will buy itseeming more like the Armored Kill and End Game maps. There are no maps like Grand Bazar, Seine or Aftermath.

    There are serious problems with the spawn on the defensive team of a few maps, resulting in many instant kills after spawn.

    And it finally came out,I was angry that game has so many errors. graphic of this game cool but,
    It is only good thing of this game.

    Single play was so boring...and Multiplay was more bad than singleplay.

    Battlefield 4 promises so much. Sadly, Battlefield 4 is like a gourmet meal spoiled by the chef pouring vinegar over the entire dish.

    The graphics is much better than Battlefield 3, and finally the maps aren't just 50 shades of blue. Sound is still in a class of it's own. DICE has reintroduced Commander mode, squad leaders aren't a joke, and a commo rose that works. Changes to the    Battlefield 4 promises so much.

DICE has reintroduced Commander mode, squad leaders aren't a joke, and a commo rose that works. Changes to the server listing in Battelog means it's quite feasible to run settings close to classic Battlefield without having issues with filling it up.

    So on paper, there's a lot to look forward to. But both single player and multiplayer are almost completely ruined by a few but very important core issues. Note I do not mention co-op because Battlefield 4 has no co-op, a surprising and sad move in my opinion.

    In the case of the single player it's the story. Sure it's a corridor shooter, but even those can be interesting if the story is good, for example like Spec Ops: The Line or Medal of Honor (2010). While the story in Battlefield 4 isn't as bad as in Battlefield 3, it is not a whole lot better. It contains a handful of bland characters doing things that make no sense, with tons of boring cut scenes and highly predictable plot devices. By trying to make the story as "epic" as possible DICE has completely lost sight of what makes a good and engaging story. In the end the single player is a boring interactive movie which you grudgingly grind through just to unlock a few weapons for the multiplayer.

    Now, singleplayer is one thing, but what keeps people player Battlefield has always been it's multiplayer. With gorgeous visuals, rich and engaging sound scape it's hard not to be impressed, even after playing Battlefield 3. However there are a couple of things which are essential to a good multiplayer shooter, and as Team Fortress 2 shows, it's not super-realistic graphics.

    The basics are gun play and netcode. Sadly Battlefield 4 fails miserably in both categories. First, the direction the bullets travel and the direction the barrel is pointing are just vaguely correlated in Battlefield 4. Players who are good at controlling the recoil and keeping the aim on target will be punished. Snipers who are quick to react and get the crosshairs back on target will miss. This creates a serious disconnect with the weapons. Add the toned-back-but-still-present suppression effect and you often find yourself thinking you're shooting blanks.

    Worse is the netcode. DICE has finally come out and said that improving the netcode is a high priority for them. However the issues that plagues Battlefield 4 has consistently plagued Frostbite games since Bad Company 2. They've had 4 PC shooters using the Frostbite engine with the exact same issues. In my view the most frustrating issues are client-side hit detection and broken chronology, meaning you get hit and die from someone you haven't seen shooting yet, who is pointing a completely different direction or is behind a wall. They are somewhat intertwined, but Bad Company 2 had chronology issues yet with server-side hit detection.

    The netcode issues affects vehicles as well. Lock-on warnings which sound immediately before the rocket hits, etc.

    With the absolutely fundamental issues more or less completely broken, it's a real struggle to have any fun playing multiplayer. If you just want to sit on a hill, have a few beers and take potshots at the enemy running around some flag then it's not half bad. But it is very far away from being a serious shooter.

    Which is sad in a way, as one easily senses there's a lot one could like about Battlefield 4 had it not had vinegar all over it.    … Expand

    Probably the worst battlefield I've ever bought. Videos shown while loading levels in SP stutter to the point of unviewable. In MP, gameplay mechanics are unresponsive, laggy, and unbalanced, even 8 months after release, BF3 plays a lot better than BF4. I'm going back to playing BF3, arguably the last good recent BF.

Forcing me to play TDM or other smaller map gamemodes. Anyone who says this game is great from the start is completely wrong. I could compare this start to SimCity.

    We all know that battlefield has a great history of awful campaigns ,but this one is just absolutely empty. The plot is really uninteresting, even though it tries to give us a brief overview of characters the game ends too soon to make us feel anything for them. Story has to show all vehicles (air/ground/water) not just few of them and it really lacks freedom in game play ,i mean really its battlefield series after all so i would at least expect possibility to change story path by choosing my own actions The end mission decision really does not count). But never mind the story mode ,lets talk about the diamond of the battlefield series.

    The Multiplayer. Oh my god ,the multiplayer. I will not lie ,i did have some fun playing it ,but i could as well say that i did have some fun playing call of duty for 30 minutes and threw it in my games box afterwards. We all know about these common pc crashes (applies to single player too) and disconnects that seriously hurt when you are having a clan match, these problems SHOULD NOT EXIST, as the beta was absolute disaster we should at least expect technical improvement after so much torture, but no ,it really feels like the focus of all time was the consoles even though the game plays nearly as awful. A personal issue for me would be the sniper class, in hardcore mode they are absolute quick scope master class ,i am saying that because i tried the class and i got 300 kills in about 6 hardcore matches. We all know that at the moment air rules the battlefield as the ground vehicles were nerfed while air was powered up to the max ,you can dominate the battlefield without any unlocks.

    I will give this game a 0 ,not because it is that awful ,but because the Dev's did not put effort in the things that make battlefield play like BATTLEFIELD. I am really disappointed, because i spent around 600$ to improve my pc so i could run the game flawlessly ,while it really doesn't show any features that should require such expensive gear.

    I love battlefield series and i will not tolerate if this game gets destroyed because of devs focus towards unecessary features instead of what the game really is about.    … Expand

    The maps have no flow and it is entirely impossible to predict where your enemy will come from.
    No matter how quick you are with your gun, if the enemy always shows up behind you there is no tactical element to speak of.
    In Battlefield 3, the previous game in the series, even losing a match was a lot of fun.
    In Battlefield 4, there is not a minute of enjoyment to be had, win or lose.

    The specialization mechanic is frustrating, causing you to have too little ammo until you reach the mandatory number of squad paddy cakes.
    Because the upgrade paths are already set, there is no way to have both extra rockets and extra ammo for the engineer class, causing you to either run out of your ability to defeat tanks or run out of your ability to fight infantry.
    The gadgets are designed to be frustrating and involve no tactics or skills.
    The UCAV in particular comes to mind.

    Do not pick up this game.
    I would go even further and suggest that you should not buy any more games designed by DICE until they've proven themselves to be worth the money and your trust.

    Finally if you are looking for a nice and strategy based FPS you can always buy BF3, BF4 is the next generation of "call of duty multiplayer full of amateur/childish" kinda game. Do not waste your money and time this game is poor, amateurish, full of lag and nothing remarkable new just another "pop corn" over-advertised product, good luck, and see you on The real Battlefield at Battlefield 3.    … Expand

However, the map design is both effective and beautiful with plenty of flanking routes contrary to BF3. Rush players will be dissapointed, for attackers rarely win, but domination and obliteration gamemodes are fun and importatntly add to the feel of bf4. The Battlelog interface looks prettier, but is incredibly buggy. The singleplayer campaign was beautiful. Graphics were fantastic. Story was nothing new, but definitely better than BF3. I would recommend waiting a month or two after all the patches are rolled out before you buy this one.… Expand

I have been playing since Battlefield 2 and this is by far the worst product they have ever put out. They tried dressing shiit in great RPG graphics and calling it good, well they were wrong.

I have been playing since Battlefield 2 and this is by far the worst product they have ever put out. They tried dressing shiit in great RPG graphics and calling it good, well they were wrong. Some things I have noticed.

    - Same bugs exist upon release that has been in every game release. Glitches that manipulate leaderboards, repair bugs, one hit bugs, sound bugs. All have been in previous releases so why not expect they would be in a new one before releasing it.

    - AIRCRAFT- Stealth Aircraft. (1) Aircraft period take far to long to respawn. well over 3 minutes. If you like to fly you get autokicked for being idle. (2) Flares/ECM virtually useless. There is virtually no lockon warning before your sent to the ground in a fireball. (3) WAY TO MUCH AA. You can't go anywhere on a map without some form of AA shooting you down. In a combat situation missle reload times far to long. Decrease the time or make more of that weapon available such as BF2 had. (4) Stealth Aircraft has the worst gun site in the game I believe. U have barely a little dot in the hud that is hidden by the flight indicator making tracking virtually impossible. You have a better chance of hitting in an external view. Thats just the jets, lets go to a battlefield favorite!!

    The Helo's. In particular the
    - ATTACK HELO. Was an awsome model from games past. Little or no armor against any form of AA. And the gunner is as useless as its weapons seem to be. Guns, just as the Stealth Aircraft take far to long to reload. TV missles! Every Helo Pilots faveorite weapon to seat switch into has been nerfed so bad that it cant destroy a thing. And by a think I mean a fence. WTF!

    Any and ALL Armor is way overpowered. Have put 4 SMAW on target yielding mayby 50% damage. If that and trying to run and gun against that is crazy.

    Ok the Kits. Seems the the Assauly kit is WAY TO OVERPOWERED. One shot kills while using seem to be the motto in every server I go into. Weapons are overpowered compared to the other kits.

    Rarely get hit markers on anything. I Have put full clips into targets, many at close range and didnt get one hit marker yet one shot later im dead.

    Quite honestly I think I have finally gave in with this game. Ready to leave the gaming clan and quit playing altogether because of this game. Its frusterating going into a game that constantly crashes, or has more bugs than my backyard or all the horrible critiques and messages everywhere that DICE still wont fix the game. Instead they try to dress it up with a horrible DLC (China Rising) Addressed nothing, fixed nothing. You added a few new maps, a couple POS gadgets and think thats what we want?? Maps alone would be fine if you listened to the gaming community and fixed the game. I would really like all the money I have spent on this game from the Premium Membership to the Digital Deluxe version just refunded but that like hoping this game would be fixed is just a dream. Now while Im sure there will no doubt be a lot of Die Hard BF fans reading this, and I assure you I have been one since BF2 that they will say "Well, go play Call of Duty"! Ide say gladly. I have had all there games and they were tested right and release will little or no bugs. So DICE, take a page from their books. They obviously are doing something right.

On my computer, one slightly-above-average desktop PC, the game stutters and crashes far beyond the acceptable limit before frustration. Maps, which have yet to make anybody happy except the stereotypical expert player, in which huge open ranges allow for 110-rank players to sit and annihilate your entire team regardless of what part of the map you spawn in. Vehicles are now more overpowered and the lesser ones now made worse. Jets are now invincible, travel at the speed of light, and cannot be shot down by anything, and helicopters now require you to run away whenever you enter any open area because any engineer with two rockets in a rocket launcher can take YOUR ONE FLARE and reload faster. Tanks, previously effective anti-infantry vehicles, previously 'fair' in BF3, are now not even weak enough to be called a 'tank'. Several of the secondary more-powerful anti-tank mines will only disable movement. Anti-aircraft, a vehicle whose purpose was completely obliterated when people now use the heavy machine guns in order to mow down infantry, and end up camping in their spawn locations (which you cannot enter.) Alongside a whole other set of unbearable problems, like a rocket artillery you find campers hiding in spawns, can also take down piles of infantry. Tanks can now carry two different types of different, more advanced shells, both overpowered to the max. Anybody who likes BF3 (Or any previous) should take a big look before they purchase this game. Sixty dollars I would rather spend to have my house egged.

    EA management have shown some serious contempt for their customers, because selling this game in its original state must have bordered on illegal. It just didn't do what it was supposed to...ie : play.

    After 3 months of constant updates and patches, its better (ie: It actually plays, most of the time), but there's still loads wrong or flawed within the game.

    Overall, BF4 is good looking when it works but the endless flaws are difficult to accept when you've paid a premium price, for a second rate game.

I haveHonestly one of the biggest disappointments of 2013 for me. There are so many things wrong with this game that plague something that could have been very good with proper preparation. The amount of times I find myself instantly jumping 100 to 0 health is outrageous. Suppression was a good concept in Battlefield 3, and it returns edited. It is still, unfortunately, terrible. I have lined up hundreds of shots with a carbine only to miss every shot because an enemy with a light machine gun fires one bullet near me. There is still a stupid amount of lag in servers, even with 30- ping, which to me is unacceptable. The game simply does not have a high enough server refresh rate, so what you see and what your enemies see are often different, resulting in the earlier mentioned instant health drop. Hitboxes actually fall behind players sometimes, so what should be a hit is sometimes displayed with no hitmarker, no damage, but blood from the enemy. This can be proven on the test range, which actually is nearly useless considering there are very few realistic situations available. By this I mean there are a few slow UAVs, a few motionless boats, and a couple buggies.

    Now for the campaign. There's really not much to say about the campaign because there is really not much to it. All it is is pointless cursing and shooting. There may have been a plot that I missed, but for the most part it could just be an interactive Michael Bay film. There are silly cutscenes, situations, you name it.

    The only way I would ever recommend this game to anyone is if its bugs are fixed entirely. The multiplayer has a good base, but EA just decided to rush another game out the door, creating possibly the biggest disappointment of 2013 for me personally.

Machinima stands to make a great deal of money on sponsored youtube channels that show BF4 gameplay (notice BF4 doesn't have nearly the amount of content creators as BF3...why do you think that is?)

    EA DICE buys millions in adspace from IGN, so it's no surprise their review is entirely irrelevant and biased.

    So, here's a completely unbiased review from an actual Battlefield fan - one who has owned every single iteration of the franchise to-date:

    The is probably the worst launch of a AAA title I have ever seen. It is entirely unconscionable that the game was shipped in such a broken state. The bugs range from unusual to game-breaking, and you don't have to look very far at all to find them. While BF3 felt rushed with its short development schedule, huge list of features that were never fully realized - not to mention promises that were never delivered, it is nothing compared to the state of BF4.

    Several developers have anonymously stated that although they knew the game had not passed QA (what we used to call bugtesting), they went ahead and shipped the game anyway.

    Whatever happened to finishing a project before you sold it. EA / DICE has gone over the line with this game, they've sold half a product with a promise to fix the rest later. A promise only delivered after a huge backlash against their broken game. I have since abandoned it, and I would caution anyone who values their money to avoid this title. Premium is a joke, as the DLC maps are - unsurprisingly - unfinished. Jets that can't take off on the runways, areas of the maps where models do not clip properly, MAJOR netcode issues, major vehicle unbalances...the list goes on and on.

    Also, as has been mentioned elsewhere, the developers have added in RUSH only as an afterthought. The maps are so poorly balanced as to make some of these maps unplayable. It's clear that whoever is in charge at EA/DICE is just directing the team to create as much content as possible, spend no time proofreading their code or testing it, and pushing these broken, half-products to market as quickly as possible.

    Like I said, I have owned every other game in the series prior to this point, and I am MASSIVELY disappointed. So much so that I have abandoned my favourite series, fool me once, shame on you, I won't be around to see how much worse the next Battlefield is.    … Expand

The netcode got even worse than in BF3. You have to play the sp to unlock some of the weapons, which wouldn't be so bad if the developers could program properly.

    Broken and buggy is Battlefield 4,Crash after crash, missing sound/textures, terrible hit reg,awful blur effect(added last patch?)grass physics removed last patch?... the list goes on and on.

    Game is super disappointing and frustrating to play due to loss of progress because of the constant crashing.

    I have given up playing until they release a miracle patch that can fix this abomination.

    Broken game, updates are useless. Online is garbage. Just another call of duty with vehicles. Spawn points are just as bad. The actual player base is useless like a bunch of monkeys, with no brain.
    Graphics are nice, just wish this game wasn't ruined with the new features that absolutely ruined HC.
    Fix your game before release. This game is worse than any alpha release on any game I have played.

    This is actually a good game, but what a bug-filled crash-fest on PC. Campaign is unplayable to due to the game crashing every few minutes.

The multiplayer was plagued with horrible lag the first few days, so you couldn't play any aspect of the game on release.

    The multiplayer is better now, and the maps are alright. Operation Locker is like a worse version of Metro, set in some sort of gulag. Horrible map, even more grenade and rocket spam than on Metro.

    The game is really beautiful though. Other than Operation Locker, all the multiplayer maps were great. The campaign is also very enjoyable as long as you treat it as a Shoot-em-Up movie. Don't expect an intriguing plot and deep underlying themes, you wouldn't expect that of your typical adrenaline filled action movie. Of course, I've only been able to play the first three and a half levels due to the game being broken, but those levels were enjoyable.

    What really pisses me off, which seems to have been repeated, is that the Defib is not unlocked right away. You need to play 2-3 games to actually unlock it. I don't play Assault so that I have a grenade launcher, I do it so I can heal and revive people.

    Pros:
    -Mostly really good multiplayer maps
    -Beautiful graphics

    Cons:
    -Horrible crashes, unplayable campaign
    -Lag online

    Fast forward several months. I figure today is the day I'll give the multiplayer a shot. After hearing all sorts of issues with the BF4 launch, I hoped by now they could have sorted out the kinks. First of all, to play the game you have to download a huge patch. Then you try and launch the game, but that doesnt work because you have download another stupid patch for the browser. Whoever thought that gamers want to use internet explorer to play your game should be fired. Anyway, I get the browser plugin working and now I'm trying to launch a game - any game. Just to see if this is worth a second more of my time. No you can't launch that game, you need to buy an expansion pack. Oh great - click another server same sh*t.

    Keep clicking on servers until I find one that doesn't ask me to buy another expansion pack. 30 seconds later the game launches and I click the spawn button. Three seconds later I'm kicked to desktop with a friendly message: Service Communication Failure: PnkBstrA.exe. Rinse and repeat this 3 more times. Now lets try googling around to see if there are any answers on how to fix this problem, people are suggesting to disable windows firewall. Ok lets give that a go - oh that didn't work either. Lets try downloading punkbuster directly - why in gods name am I having to download this myself is beyond comprehension for a multimillion dollar blockbuster title like BF4.

    Now to recap, this is a game with crap single player (can't say I was surprised), and multiplayer that doesn't even work. So not only was this a ripoff at half off - but at any price.    … Expand

    Save yourself from a lot of misery and don't buy Battlefield 4 for Christmas.    … Expand

    The game as it is now is decent. It shows a lot of potential, but it's quite poorly executed. You realize that EA wants to make as much money as possible and promotes premium features and battlepacks making the players almost having to buy more content to thoroughly enjoy the game.

It shows a lot of potential, but it's quite poorly executed. You realize that EA wants to make as much money as possible and promotes premium features and battlepacks making the players almost having to buy more content to thoroughly enjoy the game.

    The graphics are great! I love them! A huge improvement over the last Battlefield title and it was better than I had expected, even if I can not run the game on higher settings than medium. However, sometimes the graphics flickers a lot and it becomes difficult to see enemies further away from you, and flickering objects easily draws your attention away from the enemies.

    There have been some improvements to the game over Battlefield 3 that I really like. For example being able to select where to spawn by clicking on the map. Also weapon customization has been improved, but I really miss the ability to quickly change weapon with only a few clicks. Now I have to go in and change the weapon in the customization menu instead of doing it at the deploy menu.

    Some of the maps are great, while others are just ok, and a few are not worth playing at all I feel. Some of them feel rushed and unfinished, not suited for this kind of game at all. Others are great, and offer huge playability with all the gamemodes available.

    Battlelog has disappointed me a little. The server browser is far inferior to the one available for Battlefield 3 and I would really want to see more options when searching to servers. It also doesn't seem to show all servers available and seems kind of random at times.

    The unlock system is very similar to the one in Battlefield 3, but I feel with the introduction of battlepacks, it has become slightly worse. Also with the huge amount of unlocks available for every gun, it feels like it takes ages to unlock something you want.

    When the game works, it feels good and is quite enjoyable, but that is not often. Most of the times the game won't even launch, but instead battlelog gets stuck at the joining server message blinking and the game isn't even starting. The game also crashes and disconnects a lot. I feel this is unacceptable since we paid for a fully working game, yet it feels like a beta/alpha version with a lot of bugs and crashes that still needs to be resolved.

    The guns overall feels quite nice, but some weapons really behave weird and not at all like they did in the previous title. Overall the gameplay is quite different and you need to get used to the new guns and attachements before you can perform very well. Some guns are ridiculously underpowered and desperately needs some tweaking, but I haven't really found an overpowered weapon yet, which is nice.

    If the game did not have so many issues, I would have rated it higher. However, it shows a lot of potential and can be rated higher in the future if they fix these problems. Therefore I feel that a 5 is a fair rating for this game. My advice is to wait before buying this game, since it's near unplayable for a lot of people. In a few months the developers have hopefully fixed a lot of issues. Also, expect to be paying for more than the actual game if you want to be able to enjoy this game for several years to come, because EA and Dice will try to force people in to buying Premium and Battlepacks. Personally, I am really against this kind of thing with DLC and premium features, I mean I already paid a ridiculously high amount for the game itself, why pay just as much again just so I can get a few more maps and weapons? We'll wait and see how much content premium actually offers, but unless I can find it at a huge discount, I will not buy it.    … Expand

    I'm sorry but this game.....I just don't know what to say. It's fun when you can play it! But even after the recent patch the game will still crash and now its booting players from the server right after a match ends! "Oh man this server is great!" To bad it kicks you anyway! Anyway, don't even believe those asshats critic reviews they'll say anything to get to hand first on a game andI'm sorry but this game.....I just don't know what to say.

    This is a good game but it has a whole bunch of stuffs they need to fix. Personally, I like the multiplayer gameplay because it makes up for the terrible singleplayer and the graphics are improved, the gameplay is great, and also the scale of the maps are really huge. Its great but not excellent.

    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.
