    Battlefield 4 is a powerful entry in the multiplayer FPS scene, and improves vastly upon its predecessor. It is somewhat hindered, however, by a alarmingly large number of problems with its online component.

It is somewhat hindered, however, by a alarmingly large number of problems with its online component.

    As seems to be the trend with most games in its competitive niche, Battlefield 4 adopts a single-player campaign largely for the purposes of marketing. It's short and provides some fairly impressive set pieces, but brings no advancements in narrative and fails to avoid invoking tropes in shooter campaigns that we've seen so many times.

    Of course, it's the online multiplayer of Battlefield 4 that comprises the bulk of the game. It's a robust offering, with extremely developed player progression and deep gunplay and vehicle mechanics that outperforms competing games such as Call of Duty in certain respects. While the "Levolution" feature admittedly loses its charm after you've destroyed the same skyscraper for the third or fourth time, and so on, it's a novel element and a sign that the franchise is indeed still innovating. Player and weapon customization has been greatly expanded upon from Battlefield 3, and a real mix of balanced attachments and guns now make the "best" combination for a kit unclear, encouraging diversity. There have been some controversial moves taken with the kits and their respective equipment, but none that have clearly unbalanced the game. The two new game modes, "Obliteration" and "Defuse," seem to be more competitively-focused, and are welcome additions overall, drawing from concepts that Battlefield fans have been asking for.
    Overall, Battlefield 4's gameplay is superb, and would have merited it a 9 or 10 rating from me were it not plagued by certain problems I'll discuss later.

    The graphical quality of the game is amazing, and Battlefield 4 ranks easily among the best of this console generation's games in terms of of visual aesthetics.
    Yes, Battlefield 4 is beautiful, but only when it works. To be blunt, the servers are in terrible condition, and you will often find yourself disconnected mid-game. You may find yourself losing records of stats, kills, stored experience boosts, and so on, with frustrating regularity. Both server-side and client-side patches have been promised to fix these problems, and they can't come soon enough. Speaking candidly, Battlefield 4 is an unfinished product.

    One last qualm is with the new "Battlepack" system. EA seems to have placed this in the game as a way to introduce microtransactions into Battlefield 4 similar to Mass Effect 3's, but their purpose seems to have been confused. There's currently no way to purchase them, and yet they come in randomized packs with varying levels of rarity, like a collector's card pack would. The Battlepacks unlock at certain rank intervals, which would be an acceptable system were they not often made inaccessible by the unreliability of the servers.

    That's the prevailing issue with Battlefield 4; it's a wonderful game, but only when you're able to play it.    … Expand

    I felt that this game deserves much better praise than what it has been given from the user reviews. Battlefield 4 is in no way a rehash of 3, it is in fact a definite improvement.

For being the original "levolution" creator (Not Infinity Ward), DICE has been able to dynamically change the field in which you play. The player progression has gotten a total overhaul, with weapon usage unlocking newer weapons. This allows player to stick with what they like, while gaining that progression, and only trying out new weapons if they want to.

    No one can expect the game to run flawlessly within the first month of release. And as multiplayer games become more and more complex, they WILL have those issues. DICE does a great job on staying on top of the problems that arise. They practically fixed their DDoS attack in less than 24 hours, and they continuously pay attention to what is going on within the community and correcting missed mistakes, no matter how many there may be.

    I'm giving BF4 a 10 because they have proven, even if not to everyone, but at least to me, that they know what it takes to make a great FPS. CoD should not be the basis for what an FPS needs to look like. That's old news. That idea needs to evolve. And DICE may not accomplish it with BF4, but this clearly shows that they are on the right track.    … Expand

    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.
    P.S. Also filters for servers work strange: no matter how many people on a server I filter it always shows full servers..    … Expand

    Battlefield 4 is big step forward (ignoring the launch issues), the game is way more balanced now, levolution adds a great level of interaction to the every map. This game looks beautiful. The campaign is not the best I've played (it has a good base but its very rushy); but again, Battlefield is all about the multiplayer.

    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.

IF you are new to battlefield then you would give this game a 10/10 but if you are a battlefield veteran, this game isnt bad its actually great but you wont feel the same with bad company 2 or battlefield 3 in this.

    Somehow it just didnt have the impact that BF3 had when it launched with big maps etc. Graphics on PS3 were a little bit...MOHW and end game of BF3....probably not the same people who put the original BF3 together. Still an awesome game and even more so now captures the essence of team play then its predecessor. I cant wait to see the PS4 version.

    Though the new levolution feature is truly remarkable, it must be notified that the graphics seems to take a down-step from it's better-PS3 suited predecessor, Battlefield 3.

    A game that would not be recommended to play on the seventh generation of consoles, players should play on the eighth for the actual great & breathtaking experience, it's what the game is designed for.

    I love this game. The graphics, destruction, dynamic gameplay, etc. in this game are spectacular. However, it doesn't go unnoticed that DICE hasn't greatly improved much. Yes, you can collapse roads now and there are big set pieces in each map, but these are guilty pleasures and not great improvements to the game. Regardless, this game is one of the best this year, besides GTA V perhaps.

    After playing it a lot on past two weeks:
    THE VERY GOOD: I like the perk systems, the customization of soldier and weapons. I like the way they improved cooperation between a team and squad, which is the nº1 reason i like bf series. You get more points for assist, tagging vehicles, you can "talk" to your team members through a menu etc

    THE GOOD: great graphics, great new maps. it feels like bf3.5. It is better than bf3, but not a huge leap forward, but i like the fact that it's a "new" bf game and I wasn't expecting much more since I believe the programers are already taking the ps3 to it's limit. If we are expecting drastic improvements on graphics, get a PS4. Air vehicles are more balanced in terms of ground atack. Besides being a more underpowered, the AA missiles are much faster. The jets also fly faster (some users say otherwise, but I have the opposite feeling and I flew A LOT on bf3), Also, Air to Ground missiles of jets have to be locked until they hit target, you can't fire and forget and switch to guns to finish off a tank, which was the way I got huge jets scores on bf3. In Bf3 was that you could base rape a team with a heli. I could get 20/0 kd ratios with jets... Little bird vulcano canon could destroy tanks, now you need an upgrade etc.

    THE BAD: some conquest maps are clearly designed for twice as many players (PS4) and they lack action. The navigation on the menus is very bad and confusing at first. I hope I can get used to it but it doesn't seem a good idea that you have to use a lot of controls and buttons to navigate menus to costumize your weapons etc. VERY confusing and you have to do this during the game.

    THE TERRIBLE: Bugs. It froze my ps3 a dozen times at the end of the games in the middle of my cheering for my epic score (which btw is lost forever). It erased my campaign progress two times and I gave up on trying to play it until a patch is released. The jets can only fly in a ridiculous map strip, making them much less fun. It is almost impossible to have a decent dogfight. Combat jets are useless. I was never shot down and I also couldn't shoot down other players. Helis can fly on a larger area so I'm guessing they might solve this with a patch.    … Expand

    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 sounds of the guns is good and I really like the "twing" as bullets ricochet of the ground etc. There's something really satisfying about being able to use a heavy machine gun to destroy a will and kill the guy behind it. I've heard people say that this game is slower and COD is fast paced. Really, being a COD fan, playing domination with 19 other guys is far more frantic that any COD game I've played. There are people and bullets flying everywhere and the physics of the guns is much better. They can actually kill you. Unlike COD where you empty a clip at a guy from 100m and yet he still manages to charge you with a knife and kill you.

    Comparing to Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4 looks like a joke. It has a cliché low quality arcade feeling. With BF4 there is no more that real life war simulation feeling it had before.

    There's definitely more of a focus on teamwork which is great, that being said, not everyone is used to this teamwork mindset so it can be frustrating when you're on a bad squad. It also doesn't help that they removed the ability to squad up from the main menu (the biggest con in my book), still though it isn't that hard to join your friend's game. When you do get a good squad however you can really dominate, and when you have two teams with good squads going head to head the gameplay gets really intense and exciting.

    It seems more realistic. If you shoot your gun and still have 15 bullets in the clip but decide to reload so you don't run out of bullets in your next firefight you lose those 15 bullets that were in the clip.

    There are lots of people are complaining about hit detection, and I've only found that to be true about one class of guns LMGs(At least the first few, later guns are pretty good). I feel therer's more of a focus on picking your shots as opposed to spray and praying. If you have enough skill to shoot short bursts at a time, you'll kill your enemy. If you want to just aim in direction of an enemy and hold R1 trying to get a kill, thanks for giving me 100 points.

    The classes have stayed the same (Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon) but every class has different options now.

    Assault now has to earn their defibulator and charge it, yes I said CHARGE IT... It also has limited uses and you don't have as much time to revive teammates (which works hand in hand with gameplay centered more on teamwork, no more running across the whole map and reviving someone. Stay close to your medic.) If you don't charge your defib they only spawn with 20% health but you can charge it up to 100% if you have the time.

    Engineer Not too much has changed in this class outside of the fact that vehicles are easier to destroy so overall this class becomes stronger due to that fact (it’s not impossible to take out aircraft that have a million flares, now they have to wait to use flares again).

    Support This is where you'll see a lot of your 0-5 ratings coming from whiners. Support is NOWHERE as CHEAP as they were in bf3. Suppression has been lessened in this game (Thank god), so now support can't shoot 100+ rounds at you and have your bullets disappear like they did in bf3 so they'll CRY about that (at least it felt like your bullets disappeared cus you could barely hit anything while under suppression). As I said before you have to pick your shots now and not just hold down R1 and destroy everything which I think requires no amount of skill, they'll cry about that. The new reloading technology will also put a toll on those that want to reload while they still have 60 bullets in their weapon, that's 60 less bullets for you. Support doesn't start off with C4 and recon does *cue more crying*. All that being said, support is still a good class it's just not as noob friendly and actually requires some, dare I say it, skill *GASP*!

    Recon It feels great to play recon now, and the new additions to this class actually makes possible to play other game modes. This was my favorite class in bf3 and because of it I consequently hated conquest. In bf3 recon is pretty much insignificant in conquest because of one thing VEHICLES (Unless you were just camping on a mountain somewhere doing long distance sniping, which sucked). Recon could not do anything to defend themselves from tanks, helicopters, jeeps, pretty much any vehicle so I hated conquest. Bf4 recon can actually have an impact in the game because now we have C4 already unlocked from the get go, now I can play all game modes and conquest has actually become my favorite mode. Side note, the bullet drop has changed and definitely takes some time to get used to.

    All classes now use carbines, DMRs (Semi auto sniper rifles), and shotguns. Carbines are great for those who pick their shots. DMRs are annoying but then again I've always felt like semi auto snipers take no skill (just my personal opinion though). Shotguns are sort of overpowered, they definitely pack a punch and make the same noise a sniper rifle does when it's suppressing you.

    All in all this is a great game and definitely worth the money, also you can upgrade to next gen systems for only $10 which I plan on doing.

    The only major con is no squading up from the main menu anymore. Why you do that DICE? For a game so focused on teamwork this step backwards makes no sense.

    Final note: I feel (or hope) that bf4 was made for future gens and just ported to current gen. So when people complain that the maps are too big remember next gen systems will be 32 vs 32.

    Terrible campaign. The history is dumb and has zero emotion, you just don't care about any of the characters, not even yours...
    A lot, and I really mean A LOT of graphic glitches.
    The A.I. for your squad members is a completely ineffective and plain stupid. Vehiche controls are a huge mess.

    Battlefield 4 shows a great improvement compared to it's predecessor. Though the gameplay was roughly similar, some new much needed features were added that really made it much better. The story, although not perfect, was greatly better than that of BF3.

    DICE certainly focused a lot more on the campaign and tryed their best to make it great, but I felt like it could have been more.

Multiplayer wise, the maps were mostly well designed and very easy to navigate once you get used to them. The game feels very balanced, and I almost never felt like it was one-sided.

    The destructuble enviorement was well executed and well balanced. You can destroy huge buildings without ruining the entire map, wich was nice. The graphics were very realistic, much better looking than CoD: Ghosts, so that makes it a winner. The physics and sounds were almost as good as real life, but they lacked that certain «Oumpff» to make it perfect.

    My only complaint is the uncountable amount of bugs this game contains. If you plan on buying it, wait a month or two so EA can fix all the bugs.    … Expand

    My install was a little annoying, mainly because it was a little buggy and i don't have patience for that when I want to play so...bad. In about 20 hours of gameplay I have crashed to desktop twice. Well whaaa. I got over it and continue to enjoy the game.

    Lots of harsh feedback from folks reminds me of the Diablo 3 debacle. Long story short, they made the game too different and predictably arouse a salty and modest population of people who feel wronged, and indignant. It's just the exact opposite here. Same population size, same bitterness, different gripe. One thing you can count on is that this type of QQ'ing will invariably occur whenever a company does something awesome initially, and tries to do something awesome again in the future. It's a long fall from the top of the food chain.

    Lets talk about similarities between BF3 and BF4. Do they exist? Uh huh. Is it tangible to truly believe that there is so little variation between the two that BF4 has failed as a result of this? Only if you're blind.

    Personally, I could justify paying the games retail price even if it WAS the EXACT same game with new maps but that's just me.

    My advice, do yourself a favor and if you're kinda having a hard time accepting the fact that your awesome powerhouse computer is actually a 5 year old POS that wasn't even top-end during its heyday. Stay away from the game. It will only...hurt you more.

    I have an Alienware M17x; a great rig but if a computer is two years old, that's like 60 in human years. I ain't gonna lie and say that there isn't some magical $#(T in the graphics settings I would dream to set on Ultra, but I can't.

    I've played through the campaign, it was playable but forgettable. At least it was playable up until you turn your system off or quit out and the game decides to delete your entire campaign save file. But lets make no mistake about it, battlefield is all about the multiplayer and i'm basing my review solely on that.

    Why the hell is there no party system of any kind for christ sake? Bf3 party system wasn't great and caused numerous joining problems but at least it existed! why just remove something so vital completely? Won't moan about connection issues just yet as sadly it's now become inevitable the first month minimum of most games have major connection issues, it shouldn't be the case that people just accept it but i trust it will be sorted eventually!

    Other stupid omissions from the game like not being able to quick search for a particular map or not being able to skip the full servers in the server browser make finding a game very tedious. Not being able to customise your loadout in the menu's, meaning you either do it via battlelog (I actually like battlelog in general and this feature in particular) or you do it in game and lose about half the game time customising instead of actually playing the game.

    When you get past all that and manage to get into a game the gameplay is mainly standard battlefield, it's what we've come to expect and there isn't really much need for any core changes. However i've noticed a few cod-like gameplay tweaks sneaking in such as taking less bullets to dying, you're dead before you even realise you're being shot at and try to respond and the overhaul of the sniper class is dreadful, it just feels very very easy and overpowered now whereas in previous battlefield games the sniper class was something only good players could play effectively. They are small changes but have made the game considerably less skillful and enjoyable in my eyes.

    Finally the maps. The levolution inclusion is a great innovative feature. I feel there;s only a few maps where it actually changes the way the map is played in any noticeable way but it bodes very well for future bf installments. The overall layout of the maps are fairly poor though. The conquest maps aren't too bad, there's a decent variety in there but most maps either feel too open or too enclosed with no middle ground. There are no maps that spring to mind as a potential battlefield classic but most are playable. When you switch to a smaller game mode however such as team deathmatch or domination the maps in general are fairly poorly designed, in particular floodzone is absolutely terrible.

    Overall, there are a lot more things wrong with this game than there was with bf3. It's by no means a bad game but given the potential it's so far disappointing. Luckily, most of the issues are easily fixed so lets just hope Dice/EA get their fingers out of their arse's and do so soon.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield is hailed by many to be a Call of Duty killer and one of the best first person shooter experiences on the market. However in the latest iteration of battlefield all is not as well as I first thought.

    Firstly the Single Player campaign although improved from Battlefield 3's awful single player effort remains a painfully dull experience in which the U.S marines as in the majority of Modern Military Shooters go off and try to save the world bringing freedom, swearing and more macho dialogue however for once they aren't fighting the Russians they are fighting the Chinese and the Russians how original. In terms of gameplay it is mixture of corridor shooting action and more open action for the player. In fairness to Dice the open world sections are nice and are a refreshing change from corridors and the weapon unlocks and the ability to chose your own kit are nice additions to the game. However trying to create an emotional story whilst gaining points for headshots is a questionable design choice.

    Secondly the Multiplayer. Tradditionally the best part of Battlefield this part of the game has 10 mostly great maps such as operation locker and Paracel Storm along with returning modes such as Rush and Conquest which are noticeably more interesting due to better maps which is suprising considering the ancient hardware its running on with action feeling less sparse and more exciting. Furthermore new modes such as Obliteration are really fun increasing the ammount of team work required to win as transportation of the bomb carrier is key. The ammount of kit at your command has also improved with the attatchments and gadgets system overhauled giving the player more freedom within the returning classes which have also seen improvements in balancing to all with Support and Reacon players playing an important role. Also the Levolution Dice has been talking about really does have an effect on the game with the ability to use lifts to reach a rooftop or raise and lower bollards to prevent vehicles using a bridge is a really great feature. However issues from the previous game have also been transported over along with several new ones. Firstly a whole host of bugs return such as audio and animation glitches which are getting increasingly annoying as the developers just aren't fixing them. Furthermore the new weighted feel although more realistic makes the solider feel a bit stiff in movement although it is a good addition ultimately it does need adjusting in my opinion. As well as that the netcode has been reported to be even worse with players desynced to others in the game which can be borderline game breaking although this is rare for the most part. Lastly the graphics have taken a hit although I don't think they are worse that the past game I do think some texture issues and considerable pop in and frame rate drops before and after the levolution events in the game which ultimately believe are gimicky anyway even detrimenting your experience of the actual gameplay in maps like flood zone which makes anyone in the water after the dam collapses a sitting duck to rooftop dwellers and vehicles which can get very irritating if one team is dominating.

    Overall I believe this game has taken some steps forward but some steps back as well in certain areas. Ultimately I feel that if you have played Battlefield in the past you will enjoy this game and be willing to over look its flaws but new players will be disappointed in the current gen version compared with the next gen version. Whilst this is a good game there are a lot of things holding it back and right now I am disappointed and hope that the next battlefield will be better.

The maps are not much fun to boot. Dice should be ashamed. Now i am reduced to either hoping people keep playing bf3 or jumping on the bandwagon of call of duty kids.

    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.

It's a riot! There are maps which reveal the system's age more than others.....conquest maps really spread the graphic rendering capacity thin. But, even so, the gun handling...the exquisite audio...the destruction...the epic feel of it all gelling smoothly together more than makes up for any graphical shortcomings. As it's been said a billion times before...."it's the gameplay that matters". That being said, nobody does FPS multiplayer gameplay like DICE and Battlefield. PS3 version easily gets a 9...and, from what I've seen, next gen and PC versions clear a 10 without breaking a sweat :D… Expand

    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.

    I am a fool for downloading this for the PS3. The graphics are the first thing you will notice, then that the controls have been mangled.

    The graphics are dumbed down to near PS2 levels, or so it seems. Its an insult to what the PS3 is capable of. Just a ploy to get you to buy that shiny new PS4 and upgrade your copy!

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

    This game is utter crap. I am so glad I cancelled my pre order and played on my friends PC.

    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.

Still, it's a good time and I'll sink a ton of hours into it. Sure, it seems very familiar, but the excitement is still there. Can't wait to see it on PS4. PS: The flood zone stage is very annoying.

Going in you should expect low resolution textures, frame drops and missing features to be a common occurrence. However what was not expected was a mash up of a Battlefields identity with Call of Duty elements that ultimately serve to dumb down the entire experience. From bright red circles that highlight a grenades life span, extreme amounts aim assist at close range and vehicles that have been majority nerfed in every aspect to make the game easier. It's clear this is Dices best attempt to make Battlefield a game more accessible for the causal audience. On the flip side of the coin you have to question several design decisions as well. At release the game ships without a party system to play with friends which is unheard of in today's age of gaming. However the most absurd might be the lack of editing your weapons/vehicles in the games main menu system. Instead you are forced to actually go into a match and spend time tinkering with all sorts of unlocks while being completely useless to your team, or go log into battlelog on a tablet, or laptop and edit your loadouts remotely. Equally impressive is how Dice is centering the majority of unlocks on a lottery system called battlepacks. Instead of earning a scope by racking up experience with a gun, you are forced to unlock it by simple luck by opening battlepacks. It is a system that is solely designed to suck your wallet dry. Gameplay wise despite all of the above I still would consider Battlefield 4 to be the best of the shooters currently out. However that's not saying a lot considering today's state of the shooter market where it is cod or this. I found my experience overall a marginal upgrade from Battlefield 3 and when this game makes the switch to next generation simply adding 64 players and pretty graphics will not hide this titles flaws.

    I'm not even gonna talk about the solo gameplay, boring and disappointing, I'll focus on the important thing. THE MULTIPLAYER.

    First off I'd like to point out that I played and liked BF 3, reached colonel level 10, I know is not that much but is enough to be familiar with the game. I've been playing the multiplayer all day and got nothing but stress, around 6-7 hours of gameplay.

    BF4's multiplayer is not bad, it has potential, but the problem is that I consider it very inferior from BF3's multiplayer, I'll let you know my reasons.

    Vehicles: I'll start with the general problems regarding vehicles: First off, they changed all the controls for them, how hard is to put an option to drive/pilot them with the BF3 regular controls?, not hard, but they didn't the most similar setting is "veteran" but even so, the triggers of the controller are completely changed even between helis and planes, maybe is no bif deal since you'll get used to them soon or later, but there was nothing wrong with the old controls. ALL of the air vehicles are slower, VERY VERY SLOWER, they feel strange kinda like if you were driving a cloud, you don't feel the same weight and control that you had in BF3.

    Helicopter: it feels I don't know how to describe it, is slower and is like moving a cloud around, you don't feel the weight or the mobility from BF3's chopper, is not really that bad really, but you'll get down far more easy than in BF3.

    Jets: They completely ruined the jets for me, they are horrible, they are very VERY VERY slow, they have more maneuverability, but is completely eclipsed by the big mistake that dice did, you can no longer fly away from the map, that's right the main map is all the space you have to fly, this transforms the jets into a completely useless machines, they only fight other jets, oh and what other jets? well JUST 1, that's right in every map there are only 1 jet per team, I mean I wasn't a flying ace in BF3 but I enjoyed the feel I had a 4 star in the jets I may not be the best but I do know how to fly them, and let me tell you, jets in BF4 are broken, really they doesn't matter they don't do any difference, because, you feel inside a cage, they wouldn't be so bad if the space was bigger but no, the lack of space in the map transforms the jets into useless machines.

    Ground vehicles: they're more or less the same, but they have more power towards air vehicles, with the veteran config you'll manage to drive around like BF3 but with the triggers inverted. Otherwise they're the same.

    Professions and footsoldiers: you gonna die in this game, A LOT, they changed the feel and the accuracy of the weapons, its the same problem you don't seem to have good control on them, they feel heavier, some do more damage and less damage, talking about the professions they broke support profession, you can get the C4 as the last gadget, that let you with claymore and a lot ot useless crap, since the bullet box isn't aviable from start. Medic, is harder to revive allies, you need to actually get down to do it, and you get only 20 points per revive, plus you don't start with the defibrillators, they "long ranged" weapons doesn't seem to be as effective as in BF3.

    Maps: the main problem with the maps is that they are too big and open or too small and narrow, there's no middle point, either you're always in the open or you can't seem to find or see anyone, the "levolution" thing is not as impressive as you thing... you trigger some little changed that sometimes ruin the map like flooding a narrow map... yeah, becaue everyone likes to swim everywhere, a ship crashes into an island... yeah but that doesn't change anything, you don't even noticed, in the big maps takes you forever to find someone and in the narrow maps you get frustrated because the lack of space... every map of battlefield 3 is better than the maps of BF4 that's all I've got to say.

    General Dissapoint: there are some minor things that are annoying, that you simply can't understand why they did that. for example, in my soldier settings you can no longer manage your vehicles and soldier weapons and stuff you need to be inside a match to do it, why? beats me, when you're trying to find a match you CANNOT longer choose the map you want to play, I mean WHY?, what was wrong with that?, I pre-orderd the game to get china rising before, and guess what?, around 8 hours of multiplayer gameplay and I DIDN?T PLAYED IN THE FRIGGIN MAP EVEN ONCE, what was wrong with choosing the map? maybe you want to train jets or helicopters or like a map in specific well you're because the map is going to choose the map for you and there's nothing you could do about it.

    Anyway, I highly regret preorder this game...but there's not a lot I can do now. My advice?, stick with battlefield 3, until some changed are done BF4's multiplayer is nothing against its older brother. maybe you don't believe me, if you want prove RENT IT FIRST. I'll be playing BF3. See you there.    … Expand

    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?

    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.

    Don't get me wrong. It's a good game, maybe it might seem like an awesome game to you gamers who couldn't just keep up with the technology upgrades, but going from all the attention it attracted, I expected something bigger.

    The campaign is decent. The story is better than the one we had to go through in Battlefield 3, but that really isn't much. Compared to it's predecessor, in terms of graphics, there is a slight improvement. The voice acting is very good, and the multiplayer is good, but not really something major. We'll get to that later. We'll first review the single player campaign.

    As I said, the single player story is good. I expected a more refined experience, but it was good nonetheless. The characters were really well-developed, and there were some really heart-wrenching moments there. Starting from the well-doing Irish, to the obeying rookie Pac, each of the characters had one or two traits that made them unique, even those who had a relatively small role in the game. However, some of the effects were just too bad for a triple A game like Battlefield. In a mission right around the beginning of the game, there were a few what appeared to be dolphins jumping out of the water. But the effects were so bad, they looked like they were flying while shaking their booties mid-air. There were also some really weird bugs, with one particular enemy not dying after receiving two shots in the head.

    The multiplayer was also good, however it didn't just provide the same atmosphere I thought it would. The scale of the map is to be praised. The map's huge, and when it reached the maximum of players, it gave you that feeling that you're in a real battlefield. It even allowed for squad co-operation, which was good. But, the Levitation thing didn't offer that much excitement. Apparently, in the Shanghai map, you could only destroy the skyscraper. As awesome as that was, I expected more major stuff to be destroyed there and offer me more excitement. And there was something wrong with the framerate. I had played the demo before, and I had noticed that the framerate was a letdown, however I thought that they would fix it. They did, but they didn't try hard. The framerate is still not good enough.

    Overall, I really suggest that you buy this, if you are fan or if you are a newcomer to first person shooters. I assume that if you are a fan, you'll buy this anyway, but still..    … Expand

So far the campaign Is Steps ahead of last years and enough action to keep your heart beating rapidly. The multiplayer maps are huge Desert huge.. not the small sandbox COD likes to put you in. There is something here for everyone. Tanks, Jets, Helos, Dune buggies.. list can go on. You cant beat buying in on the current gen and upgrade to next gen and move stats with you. This has Polish, It Has content, and it has guns... well until the Prez tries to take our digital guns away. If you liked BF3 this is a no brainer. Buy BF4!... If you was on the fence about coming over to the land of Battlefield now would be a great place to start.    … Expand

    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.
