    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.

    They're asking full price for a game that wasn't designed to work optimally with a current-gen console, It's just a cheap port. If you're going with a cheap port you're not going to ask for full price. They should have taken the time to re-design the game for console.    … Expand

    Ok I dont normally write reviews, but this game has pissed me off so much that I made an account on here to help spread the word. 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 soOk I dont normally write reviews, but this game has pissed me off so much that I made an account on here to help spread the word. 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 lost everything individual it had before...Single is BUGGED, MP is BUGGED.
    Graphic on PS3 is specially made awful! Looks like console version was made by left leg.
    I've never thought that DICE would SPECIALLY DOWNGRADE graphics that doesn't look like "thank you fans for buying BF3".

    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.
