    This game was obviously nothing but a money grab for dice/ea. Very few progressive concepts were introduced, and plenty head scratching changes were made...

    Gunplay has been dumbed down since BF3. Less bullets til death, hit detection is bad, kill cam is bad and a ripoff of COD, all weapons do the same amount of damage, the guns don't have the "real" feeling that they had in BF3, mags get dropped when reloading. Absolutely pathetic changes across the board.

    Maps are too big for 24 players and terrible for infantry type players. Campfest and not my idea of fun.

    Character movement is so slow! Another horrendous and inexcusable change from BF3.

    The controls have been turned upside down! Please fire the person/persons who thought this was a good idea as they certainly need a new line of work.

    levolution cool, I guess, but it doesn't add anything useful to the MP experience. I guess dice thought this would make up for the core gameplay failures?

    My copy is being returned and I feel like dice may have killed the battlefield series with this atrocious attempt. Like I said earlier, this game looks like it was nothing but a cash grab for dice...well, you aren't getting my money! The lead developer for BF3 wasn't part of this game which may have led to this outcome, IDK. It really sucks because I enjoyed BF3 so much and was looking forward to this game, but they turned it upside down and made a complete mess out of it. This sort of gameplay simply isn't for me.

    I'll be playing BF3 until I find my next shooter    … Expand

You know what, I'll leave at the fact that the SP in BF4 is garbage.
    Second, the graphics... yes it looks good, but I swear every time I look at this game, I believe I'm playing an expansion to BF3. The texture pop-ins and weird graphical glitches really annoy me.
    Third, the multiplayer. I had zero percent fun in this game's MP. since this is the current gen version, its only 24-players online. It'll get boring very fast. Levelution doesn't help the experience for me either.
    ....
    You know what? I've had it. I'm done!
    I'm sick of the BS EA has been pulling this generation! EA has completely ruined the Battlefield I know and love! Battlefield is no longer the franchise I remember anymore.
    This game is just a pathetic attempt to take down Call of Duty!
    Why should I continue to support a franchise I like when its own publisher is only making it to take down another game I like?
    I am officially done with Battlefield and I'm not returning until then!

    A short and stupid single player campaign saved by Michael K. Williams and a multiplayer game which in it's current state is so miserably unenjoyable that you'll be screaming in frustration.

    My opinion is wait and see if it gets any better if it doesn't then it's one to avoid.

    Page right out of COD, congrats EA your Activision's brother..
    Game hasn't had as much of an experience since bad company 2. They're comfortable in rehashing last years crap slapping a new number on the end and calling it visceral. I own it and I play it, doesn't mean it's at all the best game graphics or experience wise. The campaign is flat again and the multiplayer experience lacks innovation.

    BF3 was a great game, BF4 so far is just an average game. You would think since DICE had 2 years to IMPROVE upon BF3, BF4 would be amazing but amazing it is not. So far everything seems like a downgrade, not an upgrade. If you enjoyed playing with your friends on the same squad, on the same team DO NOT buy this game (or wait until they patch it). Currently you are unable to create a squad pre-game, no pre-game squad lobby. You are unable to switch sides if you or your friends end up on opposing teams.
    In order for you to try and get your friends on the same team in the same game, you have to go to a server that is basically empty and wait for players to join in. Then your friends can exit and re-join the same game a HOPE that they are on your team.

    In terms of graphics and weapons and maps they are all on par with BF3 with slight tweaks and slight improvements but nothing "earth shattering". The newest feature: "levolution" or massive destruction where you can collapse skyscrapers and implode bridges and dams is very cool, but does NOT make up for the short comings of this game.    … Expand

Dice rendered the "wheels" not as circles, but as body color hexagons. Yes, that's right.

    The first thing I noticed were the graphics; they appear to be late '90's or early 2000's graphics (Multiplayer). For instance, there are fork lifts in the game. Dice rendered the "wheels" not as circles, but as body color hexagons. Yes, that's right. The wheels of the fork lifts are the same pink color as the body of the forklift, and they're not even round. Yes, that is what you can look forward too. Games like Unreal Tournament or Doom 3 have superior graphics to this game. Yes - no lie.

    Then we talk about controls: on the PS3, the controls are very sloppy, slow, and clunky. They tried to address it with patches and updates, and while it is improved based on what it was, it is still a far cry from other PS3 FPS games. IE- both Bad Company games, and BF3 have superior controls. And while I'm not a huge fan of CoD, that series also has superior controls (oh, and graphics as well). Further, they also decided to revamp the buttons and layout. After 5-6 years of Battlefield games for PS3, they changed everything, so now your existing muscle memory will conflict with this game, meaning, if you actually do manage to see your opponent before they see you, you will likely hit select (to spot them) only to have the game freeze up on your end, as it brings you in to the menu. You will then subsequently die, as it takes about 8 seconds to exit the menu again. Now, should you survive that mistake, you will go to shoot your target, only to either A) Spot them (now spotting occurs by using the trigger), or B) lob a grenade. Of course, you can change the settings in the menu, but they are all pre-programmed layouts (like Goldeneye on N64), and none of them actually match any setting previously found in a Battlefield game on PS3...but you can maybe get past that.

    Now, assuming your brain can translate the imagery on screen (it's tough, I haven't seen graphics like these in roughly 15 years), and assuming you survive long enough to make it to a vehicle, you will again be greeted by new controls, and terrible graphics. If you're in a jet, 90% of the screen will be covered with canopy lines and buttons...because that's what a pilot sees. Lines and buttons...but if you manage to find yourself in a tank, you'll find it mostly useless, mostly because every button you've been conditioned to press, will do something else. Meaning, once again, you have to wade into the settings to try and find a layout that works. "Veteran" is the one they suggest if you have played battlefield before, yet if still doesn't match any settings that ever existed, so really it should be called "Close Enough" because it's not actually what we did use, but it's close enough.

    Finally, points and leveling up; this game will make you feel special. Ok, not special in a good way, but rather in a specifically insulting way. For instance: Did you shoot at someone, and not even hit them? POINTS! Did you play a round of Conquest?! POINTS! Literally anything you do, you get points. If your squad mate spawns off of you, you get points. This game might literally be the first game in the history of gaming, where you can get points simply by turning the game on, and leaving your character to sit. Which is actually a reasonable tactic, since the graphics are so poor it's likely the enemy won't see you unless you move.

    Which leads me to my next point: matchmaking. You would think that using "quick join" would allow you to select a certain map, and then join in to any random match of that map....no, you can't. So if you purchase an expansion map, it's entirely possible you will never ever play that map, via quick join. Which is too bad, because the server browser seems to cause glitches quite frequently, either your PS3 locks up, or it reports there are no games. Or you have to spend 2-5 minutes filtering all the maps and modes you do and don't want.

    Ok, maps: It seems that the graphics are so crippling, that you can generally find one spot, and pitch a tent, and your enemies will blindly run at you multiple times, to no avail. Perhaps they can't see you? Just get a big gun with a large magazine, and sit down for the whole match, and you'll probably lead your team to victory and/or will be the points leader.

    Sound: the sound is terrible, not even worth talking about, not sure how they went backward considering many of these weapons already existed, thus already had been previously recorded, meaning they somehow intentionally messed up...

    Don't waste your time or money on this game for PS3, maybe it's better on a different platform.    … Expand

    Bad Company 2 was a good console title. Battlefield 3 didn't quite do it, and now Battlefield 4 does it even worse. Instead of saying a proper goodbye to current gen they just screwed every console player over. It's a suprise to me that not everyone is aware of this. This game looks pathetic.

The best thing about this game is the multiplayer. Not that fact that its amazing, but the fact that everything else about the game seems rushed. I started off playing the campaign to get a feel of the game first, and yes ive played all the battlefield games so i am not new at these types of games. The first level I found some WTF moments with the checkpoints. There was a point where you have to run down a hill and fall down a wall. The game did a checkpoint when i was at the bottom of the wall. Well i was faced with a convoy of enemies up ahead. Well I needed ammo. Go to the weapons cache you say. Well I would except it was at the top of the non-climbable wall!!!! Next option was to revert back to last checkpoint. Guess where it was...at the bottom of the wall. Only option was to restart that level all the way over and watch all the cut scenes, which cannot be skipped. I got to the same area and found the cache which was hidden in some other crates, easily missed. Another thing I noticed right off the bat was...wtf is up with these PS2 looking graphics? The game looks like total garbage. The textures look horrible from about 15 ft and away. EA definitely took a whole leap backwards from BF3 in the graphics department.

    Alright, on to Multiplayer. EA also took a huge leap back with this as well. It is nearly impossible to group up with friends!!!! They took away the option to group up with friends in the lobby and then join a game. Your only option is to pray you get in a game and there is enough room for your friend, which im sure with in a few more months there will be plenty of space if EA keeps this up. I even tried going to server selection and the filter settings. I marked 1-15 slots open. The servers refresh and all get displayed is 24/24 on every server. I have tried since launch to play with friends and ive only gotten to play with one once. The rest of my friends are off doing their own stuff. Finally, My last statement before I submit this. The one time i did finally get in a game with my friend the game completely froze 5 times with in 15 min, this also happened in campaign mode several times.

    The few things i like that they improved on was the character customization screen. A big upgrade from BF3. I guess that is really the only thing I like about this game... So, to let you know how good this game is... Since BF4 released, I've mainly been playing BF3...just to give you an idea of how bad it is.    … Expand

    BF4 is a great example of how to make a game for multiple platforms some of which arent even out yet.

    Take out lots of the great features like customizable load-out and knife kills (I may have been thick on this but I couldn't work it out) and add in bugs such as freezing/locking environments that just suddenly dissapear and other great features designed to ruin game play for the end user.

    Make the graphics look like they were designed to work on a PS1/PS2 even though your earlier release had great graphics. I know graphics aren't everything but when they are so bad you cant see what you are doing which kind of helps in a online shooter.

    Make it impossible to join games from the lobby and then when people finally join games kick them out endlessly.

    If you want to be really mean to consumers why not hold a beta prior to launch and ignore all the comments about what needs fixing and add new problems.

    Dont forget to kill the servers for the earlier versions so people cant even go back to BF3 which works.

    Make sure you pay certain sites to give great reviews and lie about how bad the game really is.

    BF4 is a great exercise in how not to make a good title but as a multiplayer example its just a great example of how to epically fail.    … Expand

    The campaign is dirge. If you like single player stay the hell away. It's bad when CoD is beating you in campaign!! I'm not a fan of BF multiplayer so this game was a shocking disappointment after all the hollow promises. BF3 had a BETTER campaign.

    Gameplay is horrid in this one, compared to others. I cannot get used to the weapons at all, it seems as if they all are very weak weapons, it takes a lot of hits to get the enemy down (When you know you hit him in the head 3-4 times, and he's still shooting, it just pisses you off).

    This is a very boring game so far, and I am unhappy I spent good money on it.

    IMO, this game is the disappointment of the year. The closer it got to the release date, the more I understood that it would be bad.
    My major complain: this is not Battlefield 4, it's Battlefield 3.1. It's not step forward, it's step back.

    Let's start with the campaign. It's one of the worst fps campaigns I've ever played: it's all cliche, it's boring, it doesn't use any of Battlefield mechanics. I made myself to finish it (I don't know why). The only good thing is the ending: unlike other games, here you have to make decisions faster :)

    The most disappointing thing about the game graphics. Don't get me wrong, I don't judge game only by its look. But the visual element of the game is worse than in BF3.

    The multiplayer didn't change a bit:
    - Yes, we've got commander mode similar to bf2, but I've played for a couple of hours as a soldier, and haven't seen any activities from the commanders. People don't even care: no one signs as a commander.
    - "Dynamic" maps. Yeah, the skyscraper can be destroyed, the doors can be closed: this is not a big improvement and in general the maps don't change.
    - The only change I really felt was that now we have different progression for class gear and weapons.

    I don't understand, why we have to get rid off bf3 addons and start all over again. The maps are horrible, especially the big ones, where it's impossible to find other players. I prefer COD multiplayer to this one. If you've played bf3, you've played bf4.
    I think that EA is jealous of COD, and they try to copy different elements from it. It's a bad practice. If you can't create a good campaign, don't even try to do it.

    BTW, I'm not a fan of COD series but I get more fun from cod than bf4.

    A rehash of BF3 would have been better. The graphics on BF4 are worse, the maps lack the dynamic that made BF3 fun. They restricted the maps down to just around the objectives but have a bunch of rooftops to perch on, not really a plus in my opinion.

The ground lacks in depth ground features leaving you out in the open to be quickly sniped and the flight areas are too small to make a jet worth flying. they added 40x and 20x scopes for the sniper rifles as well as a way to zero them in up to 1000 meters, but most maps aren't near big enough to make that viable. There may be a spot or two in every map to get a shot that long, if you want to just sit in the back of the map. it's supposed to be a squad based game but the dynamics of it really doesn't lend well to working as a squad, most of the time you have to split up and head different directions anyway just to cover all the areas, and the recon class with the IRNV goggles and 20x scopes is so over powered on these wide open maps that the only way to combat getting sniped constantly is with a sniper. they added a Designated Marksman Rifle class, which is an idea i love, but they totally botched it by not having any scopes higher than 4x to put on any of the rifles. They did away with team chat so you can't communicate with anyone outside your squad, so often you get stuck in a helicopter or a tank with somebody that you can't talk to. There's a lot of things that made BF3 a good game that they managed to completely fail on in this game, for example smoke grenades in BF3 actually provided smoke thick enough that you could use it to cover movement and actually push up on your enemy, the smoke grenades in BF4 are completely worthless, you can see straight through the tiny amount of smoke the entire time. As far as i'm concerned most of the Levolution stuff doesn't really add to the game play (or make up for what's lacking in it), it may be a neat treat for the easily amused, but in my opinion it's more of a silly distraction from what the true battlefield fans look for and enjoy in the game. I know most of the true Battlefield players that i've talked to have all said that adding more maps and more items to BF3 would have been preferable to this disappointment.
    And i haven't even gotten the absolutely terrible technical performance of the game itself. It's absurd that they sold this as published title, the game has so many bugs and issues i'd say it's barely fit for play testing. I played it for a week with just the occasional 3 or 4 console freezes a day, but as of this morning, i can no longer play support class. my console freezes every single time i attempt to deploy as a Support gunner. I wouldn't bother continuing to play BF4 for a couple years like i did with BF3 without the premium package and the extra maps and whatever else comes with it, but as it stands now, i can't see myself paying anything more for this game. Maybe if they fixed all the bugs, made the items work effectively, and took the inferred off the Laser Designator, i may continue to play. Custom servers would be a huge improvement as well.

    The campaign is nonexistent as far as I am concerned, as it is utter horse (you know what), and the multiplayer is clunky, with a decisively overly complicated customization menu. It takes five minuets just to put your loadout together. Servers are slow, the game is just crap.

I mean come on DICE, can't you make a game is worth playing for generations? The game does feel more rushed than previous BF games and that's due to the COD feel that this game possesses, especially with the new unlockable camos/achievements that they added. Literally all the players/teammates in all the squads have started to worry about K/D and W/L rather than winning the actual match. Pathetic. Not to mention the unbalanced size of the maps when you try to play Rush and capture all the spots which enables the enemy teams to have the time to re-capture them. The whole game is off

    I honestly feel like this was better off for Next-Gen consoles because all of the graphics are a step-down from BF3. I take that back, from BFBC1. Everything feels off, and connectivity is a huge issue especially with TDM. When you try and search for a TDM match in Quick Play, it freezes the console FORCING you to restart the whole system. The game is ridiculously buggy and is too minuscule to fit the 4th Title of the Battlefield Franchise.

    The Blue tint from BF3 is gone, thank GOD.
    Lots and lots of customizable options, including creating your own emblem
    Buttloads of weapons
    Buttloads of vehicles
    Good maps
    Is different enough than BF3
    Battlelog system is a great resource for stats and stuff.

    Cons: (The cons break this game so much that I'm making each con a paragraph)
    - The campaign: Not only is it boring and cliche as hell, but it's simply broken! It never saves your game, so when you turn it off for the night, and come back to play the next morning, all your progress is gone. Apparently this has been an issue since launch and it still hasn't been fixed. It's also buggy as well, with Ladders proving to be your worst enemy, and NPCs will clip through you and your teammates. Also, sometimes, when you die, the screen will just stay black with that annoying little blinking light at the top, whilist you're actually dropped back into combat. the only way to fix it is to restart your system, and as mentioned before, you then lose all the data.
    -Performance: This game was obviously not meant to be played on the old gen consoles. Frames are all over the place, textures are bland and low res, (looking worse than BF3) but the biggest offender is the rendering of key elements like...Enemy soldiers, your guns, and the iron sights of said gun. I've lost count of how many times I spawn into a new server, everything looks crappy low res while it all loads and I get shot from an enemy who was actually right in front of me but hasn't rendered yet, making him invisible. Then he renders in a couple seconds later. Same with your weapons. Spawn in, enemy in front of you, gun hasn't loaded in yet, and the enemy spins around and blows your defenseless a** sky high. And exactly the same problem with the iron sights not loading in when you pull them up, the sights just look like a solid piece with no hole to look through, making them useless. and while you figure that out/wait for it to load, the enemy kills you. The menu also never remembers what's a new unlock and what isn't. So I constantly get that orange triangle that means "New item!", but it turns out it's the default camo of the gun I'm using. You know, the one you start with? Also....why change the controls???? The old controls were spot on and logical. I was at least able to fix the infantry controls, but vehicle controls remain a mystery for me.
    -Battlepacks and their unlocks: This was...the absolute...worst idea for an unlock system...ever devised. Not only is what you get completely random. Not only is some of the stuff you get for weapons you don't have. Not only are the camos you get stupid looking, they charge MONEY for these. Absolutely disgraceful. Also, the battlepack attachments are pretty much useless. They're just reskinned attachments you get normally. Stubby grip reduces the automatic fire penalty by 15%. Potato grip does the exact same thing and looks downright stupid. The soldier camos you get are bad because with the weird lighting and bad textures, you can hardly make out any difference in the soldiers appearance. Also, you can get knives from this. Why are we copying CS:GO?
    Also, there's no "customize" option in the main menu. you actually have to go into a match or the new "Test range" to change up your class.

    Don't get this game for PS3. If you don't mind the battlepack system, get it for PS4/Xbone/PC. I'm sure it'll run a lot better/actually be fixed. This game is good, but it's just downright broken on old gen. Don't waste your money for the PS3 version.    … Expand

    I decided to try out BF4 after playing BF3, which was a pretty decent game besides the short campaign. Well, let me just say that it was a pretty big disappointment. I think I literally said "this game sucks" within the first 45 minutes.

    THE BAD: **** enemy Ai -Your teammates don't do anything half of the time, even when you command them too -The Killzone 3-esque takedown command    I decided to try out BF4 after playing BF3, which was a pretty decent game besides the short campaign. Well, let me just say that it was a pretty big disappointment. I think I literally said "this game sucks" within the first 45 minutes.

    THE BAD:

    **** enemy Ai
    -Your teammates don't do anything half of the time, even when you command them too
    -The Killzone 3-esque takedown command doesn't work well. at times it takes your character 5 seconds to take down a guy which is a long time when you have dozens of guys shooting at you
    -There isn't a lot of instruction on where to go
    -I noticed 2D characters on the street that didn't even move (wtf?)
    -The controls don't work as well as they did in Bf3 (where is the prone command and why do I fall off ladders all the time? Should have been more thought out)
    -Weak storyline
    -Immemorable characters

    THE GOOD:
    -Pretty good graphics
    -Some well written dialogue
    -Nice level design
    -Multiplayer is decent, but not as good as the Bad Company series or BF3

    Overall, why did they mess with a good thing? BF3 worked; this game doesn't. I'm a Battlefield fan, more so than COD, but I'd say go get Black ops instead.    … Expand

    there are so many superior war games out there, the censorship and pandering killed the battlefield series

    A non stop action blockbuster that showboats more than it aims to entertain. I was bored.

    The fps on this game is trash , the Graphics is Horrible , texture's.... I think ps2 better than that , the pop up on this game is too many , a lot of glitch's on this game especially on campaign, the story and character's of campaign is normal , game play is bad because the frame rate is not stable at ALL!!!!!! , the game play on campaign is Kindest than multiplayer.

    Господи что за графика?! Это полный ужас! Это совсем не то что есть на ПК и PS4, от графики вылезают глаза наружу + ещё разрешение 720p. Я конечно всё понимаю, то что консоль старая, но всё таки...

    To blow COD out of the water, they will need a more polished game than this. Perhaps the next-generation will provide it.

    So there you have it, the current-gen version of Battlefield 4. To be honest, it’s not a huge leap forward over Battlefield 3. It looks slightly better but performs slightly worse.

    The really unfortunate thing with this Premium nonsense is that the greater body of players are made to feel like they're travelling in economy class, so that the core fans can be milked. I'm not anti-DLC, but the way Battlefield Premium constantly thrusts at you just feels grubby. It's not a nice way to treat paying customers, and it's a pity to see it besmirch such a great game.
