    The usual decent FPS campaign. Good for one playthrough, but forgettable and sometimes frustrating gameplay makes me not want to revisit it for a second playthrough.

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

Everything else is pretty ok, variety of guns, vehicles, scenario.

    Now for the real thing we all know: Online multiplayer.

    What was good in BF3 online is now even better. The destruction, freedom, shootouts, vehicles engaging, explosions, objective. An excellent diversity of maps, presenting us to a real satisfactive and relaxed gameplay, or the agitation and brutality of a CQB map. Can't say nothing more but simply perfect experience.    … Expand

    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.

    Gameplay is little bit confusing from start, i mean HP system and etc. Annoying enemies with grenade launchers. Medal reward system in campaign is too easy so i was a little bit dissapointed with this.

    But what is worst in this game (in my opinion) is AI intelligence... its absolutely terrible, Hannah and Irish getting stuck tens meters behind me, because they are staring on enemy, or just shooting on him and dealing no damage. Engage system rarely works, in most times they are just distracting enemies.

    In this point, i would give this game 6/10, but what saves this game is definitely multiplayer. Even on PS3 its still so alive, there is no problem to join immediately to game. It is really addictive and i will come back to it for sure.

    So in the end, im going to give it well deserved 8/10    … Expand

    3) NPC-противники очень тупые
    4) NPC-команда тоже очень тупые , пока не нажмёшь клавишу Q они противника не увидят и будут стрелять в землю

Weapons and sounds are once again in a league of it's own. Loved playing BF4 MP when I was taking a break from GTA Online, sometimes got so obsessed with it I played it months on end. Also a nice addition was different kind of knives instead of the plain Bayonet from BF3, the ACB doesn't count for me since it was Premium only.    … 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 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

    The "normal" game modes however are not good at all. For one thing normal game modes have been dumbed down for the 6 year olds who play this game. Health regeneration is painfully slow, so it's common that a player will find themselves in the situation of having next to no health, and then getting into an engagement with an enemy player that has 100 percent health. This is not fair at all and it's obviously because that EA obviously thinks that all the players are mentally slow people who get frustrated when any sort of challenge comes out of the game.

    The campaign of this game is not anything to get excited about. the story is not solid and makes no sense. and the campaign only lasts 4 hours. So it's probably not a good idea to come into this game expecting a 5 star campaign experience.

    All in all, it's really important to understand that the hardcore game modes are the best here. The normal game modes, like said earlier, pander to the 4 and 5 year olds who play this game. And again, the campaign mode is nothing to get excited about    … Expand

    Pros:
    *Personal one* SCAR-H is now an assault rifle and not a carbine. Thank you for fixing that.
    "Levolution" Is a wonderful showcase of the new frostbite engine
    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

    It's been a year since BF4 came out and I finally got hands on it. This is due to the many glitches that were plaguing the game, especially multiplayer.

How can you do that and not fix the fundamentals. Is it any wonder why I didn't buy the game on release? But it really paid off, because after a year, I not only got a fixed game, but I got the Premium Edition. So for all who are laughing at me because I'm late to the party, I spent half of what many of you spent for the full game and all DLC. Joke is on you.

    But on to the game. First the campaign. Playing BF for the campaign is like going to an amusement park just for the popcorn; it's not the main feature. At the same time however, BF is about being a frontline soldier, and here, you're a special ops member. It doesn't fit. I finished this game on hard and never played it again. Now to the online. Yes, it's almost like BF3 (yet better), but they really did some work. First the Levolution. It's where the environment changes and it feels like a new map. Sometimes it's player-triggered and sometimes it's the weather. Some command posts (usually B) are on structures and can be destroyed. What I didn't like however are the battlepacks. Sometimes they can unlock attachments way too early. I know there are items you can only unlock with packs but many are the same as the default attachments. They look different, but acts the same. Like for example, the default red-dot sight you unlock by XP is Russian-made; the Chinese red-dot can only be unlocked with a battlepack but it's possible to get it before its Russian counterpart, removing the need to unlock the default red dot. See what I mean?

    In the end though, the game is fun. If you like BF3, then you'll LOVE this.    … Expand

Few players used their headsets, but teamwork was still possible. Some maps are DLC and I didn't play those. I would say the game is enjoyable enough without DLC. The different game modes each can make one map feel like several, because the goal changes your approach to the map. I went directly for the multiplayer and kept playing compulsively for around 40 hours. Then I played the campaign. I regret playing the campaign, let me just put it like that.

    The reason why the game only receives a mildly positive score: I feel like I wasted time, not learning anything. The player profiles could have been more personalized, with short 'soldier biographies' or whatever. There could have been a team-finder function where you could compete in online tournaments or something. I felt that the primary reason I kept playing was to unlock a few trophies and see what the unlockable weapons would be like. They weren't that much different, though, and I can hardly see myself returning for more rounds now that I finished the campaign and have played all maps and most modes. Been there, done that. It feels weird to not have access to planes, BTW, they are seemingly only in the DLC. And if there were only a handful of players in a match, the maps were mostly empty stretches.    … Expand

    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

Other than loading bugs, there shouldn't be any major glitches getting in the way of the online experience. I think most people only hate on the game because of the bugs, rather than the gameplay. There have been many enjoyable moments in BF4 online, such as parachuting from the building of Siege of Shanghai to get to a bomb on Obliteration, or rigging a PWC with C4, and driving it into a DV-15 watercraft. The customization in the game has a very good variety of guns, paints, and camouflage. Switching from CoD to Battlefield, I can say my online experience has been a lot more pleasant. This is coming from someone who has bought every single CoD from 2007-2013. I would recommend Battlefield 4 to anyone looking for an FPS game.
    Downsides: When you switch classes, it sometimes takes a while to load your class, which can be very annoying when you spawn in on a gunfight. Rubber banding seems to be a big issue if your connection isn't good. The amount of people who have blue tooth headsets could be higher, and the map loading time can be frustrating sometimes. Graphics on pilots seem a bit funny. If these were on PS4, Xbox One, or PC, I would give it a 9.    … Expand

However it still feels very barebones to me, even with vehicular combat, and honestly don't plan to sink a lot of hours of this multiplayer (to me gets boring fast).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield 4 is much better than Battlefield 3, and it has been a major improvement, like the Levolution, guns look a bit better, character animations are awesome and the most realistic I've seen. Combine this with a very good gameplay which is partially connected to the multiplayer you get an AWESOME game. But, there are a few things which have annoyed me: if you kill someone in Singleplayer with a sniper rifle closer than 2m their guns fly off 20m into the sky... I mean it's funny but come on, are sniper rifles so overpowered?! And also the "failed" checkpoint system. Why am I saying failed? Because it saves the game when I have an enemy gun pointed from behind to my head and I have about 5 health points? Or maybe when I fall off a cliff or I fall off a dam and it saves the game when I am at the bottom and I have to restart the mission? It's a great game overall and it's worth buying it but it has a lot of these minor flaws that just distract you.… Expand

Yes, it introduces many new -and nice- features but turns into pure abomination in the end due to the constant freezing, disconnections and the countless bugs. On my ps3 system (don't begin to say the gameplay was intended for next-gen since there's something called "optimization" and if the PS3 system wasn't enough to deal with the game then it shouldn't be released for that console in the first place), it freezes on my "every" play and enough is enough. I regret that I even purchased Premium right from the start. The patches, on the other hand, didn't help at all. It's sad to see the Battlefield series at its current state. I hope BF5 will be tested properly and have more constant MP (as well as SP). My 5 out of 10 is dedicated to the fun I had with the game in spite of many frustrating moments. But I have to admit, this is the worst BF product ever.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played literally all of the Battlefield games, from 1942 to Battlefield 4. Now, I agree with everyone else that the gameplay has been dumbed down A LOT from the first game, but I have to say, this game is quite satisfying if you have time to live through all of the freezes and corrupt hard drive checks. It's also runs a lot better than the beta, as the graphics have been upped and most of the game-breaking glitches have been eliminated. People say that its literally Battlefield 3.5, that's kinda true in a way, seeing as the graphics can't be improved a whole lot from BF3. But the gameplay has been completely revamped, so don't expect this game to play the same as BF3. Conclusion: Buy this game if you can stand the crashes etc. If not, get a next-gen console, upgrade to a PC (even more crashed BTW) or stick with COD.… Expand

    Review from a long time battlefield fan (since 1942).

    In one sentence... Do not buy this game yet. This is the most disappointing game I've bought this year. I mean, I've had some fun with it, and am still playing it, but the problems are so severe its not even funny. This game is, in almost every way, inferior to BF 3. In a nutshell, the campaign is an improvement from the    Review from a long time battlefield fan (since 1942).

    In one sentence... Do not buy this game yet.

    This is the most disappointing game I've bought this year. I mean, I've had some fun with it, and am still playing it, but the problems are so severe its not even funny. This game is, in almost every way, inferior to BF 3.

    In a nutshell, the campaign is an improvement from the console BF3. Its well paced, much more open ended, and much more fun than its predecessor campaign. The graphics on the campaign are also quite good for current gen consoles (ps3/360).

    Apart from that minor advantage over BF3, the game is ultimately inferior. The first thing you will notice in the multiplayer are the severe pop in issues. These were prevalent in BF3, but they are much worse here. The textures are also VERY slow to load. There are many in door levels in the game where its clear that the developers did not even bother to add textures.

    Before getting to more negatives, on the positive side... the multiplayer features plenty of guns. The sound design is great. Some of the new game modes are great as well. Obliteration, for instance, when its working right, is a perfect fit for consoles. It merges the large scale destruction of conquest with an objective that keeps the action focused and frantic. Its really a very fun mode.

    More importantly, this game suffers from some of the worst bugs I have ever seen in a major title. I bought this game after christmas. Despite the game being out for almost two months, I have experienced a variety of major issues. First of all, YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR CAMPAIGN PROGRESS once you switch to multiplayer. This issue has been brought to the teams attention OVER a month ago but has still not been fixed. LUCKILY, if you play the campaign ALL THE WAY THROUGH, without switching to multiplayer, you can AT LEAST keep your weapon unlocks and trophies. A heads up, there are FOUR guns to be unlocked in the campaign. One in the first level, 3 in the last. I will not give any spoilers.

    I think that the above mentioned problem by itself is pretty awful but there are more. On the multiplayer side, the game freezes every so often and you will have to reboot your PS3. This has happened to me, on average, once per roughly every 3 hour session In addition, THERE IS ABOLUTELY NO PARTY SUPPORT. This means that you cannot create a party with your friends and join a game together. Instead, you must join a friends game or get invited to it. This doesn't seem like a bug, it seems it was intentionally omitted from the game. This speaks to the level of quality of this product.

    Another issue is the spawns. Initially, the spawns on modes like squad deathmatch were very bad... usually placing someone right in front of the enemy. This seems to have been fixed. However, there is still a possibility that you will spawn UNDER THE MAP.

    The controls have also been changed. These can be set back by switching to all VETERAN settings in the options menu. I am not docking the game for these choices, but I did find it personally annoying.

    Ultimately, BF4 is a game that fans may enjoy. It does provide the same basic CONSOLE BF experience. However, something important was lost with this release. This game is by no means a quality product. It is riddled with game breaking bugs that go far and beyond what to expect with a major release. Some will discount any of the campaign bugs as insignificant because "no one plays the campaign", but that is simply wrong. I know people who ONLY play FPS for their campaigns. On top of that, if the most basic functions of your single player (such as keeping your progress) don't work...what else is wrong with it. The truth is, there is alot wrong with this game. I bought this game for 25$ on sale. I sometimes have the urge to buy the DLC, but i'm not going to do it. This product is unacceptable. These problems need to be fixed and if they are not, this company needs to feel the consequences. I understand that many of us love DICE, but that doesn't change the fact that this game is simply incomplete. I am truly disappointed with this game.    … Expand

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.

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

The best thing about BF4 for me personally is the restored balance between capabilities of vehicles and foot soldiers which was sorely missing from Battlefield 3. Thankfully an adequately equipped soldier is a good match for any in game vehicle. Helicopters and tanks are very capable and dangerous but with some care they can be blown up even by a barely leveled up infantryman which is how it should be in a game. Contrary to some reviewers I find even zero level equipment both for soldiers and vehicles deadly enough which is also a good step away from BF3.

    Then there is the levolution of course. Not all maps are created equal, but on most maps the effect of triggering the levolution event is both visually spectacular and can significantly alter the flow of the battle. Apart from levolution buildings and terrain in BF4 maps is definitely more destructible than in BF3. Some maps can be leveled completely, some only partially but any cover can be damaged or even removed completely by gunfire and explosives.

    The only real problem I have with Battlefield 4 is that Dice and Electronic Arts have released a work in progress. Even a month after the release on PS3 there still are interface bugs, network hiccups and not so rare slowdowns and complete freezes during multiplayer matches. The game could a perfect fps experience and it will be, but judging from the current progress we will have to wait till March 2014 for that.    … Expand

However similar to Battlefield 3, there is not enough destructible environments, which for me is a huge selling point for the Battlefield games. The multiplayer and the game does have quite a few glitches, and I have froze on multiple occasions, luckily Dice and EA have been introducing patches to fix these problems. The campaign is relatively short, however the characters and story is much more interesting then BF3's as well.

    In short, the game is very fun and you will sink many hours into the multiplayer. The game is a little glitchy but by the time Christmas rolls around, most should be fixed. The single player campaign is fun and actually has a decent story and interesting characters. However the main selling point of the game is of course the online multiplayer, which is one of the best online FPS shooters to date.    … Expand

    What a Disapointment.
    This game is a blurry shadow of what BF3 is.
    On PS3 the game graphics are garbage (plain and simple). Frostbite 3 is just a pipe dream. During parts of the campaign missions the rendering simply crashes and there is no way to know where to go or how to continue.

    The "Genius" that decided to change all the buttons configuration should be fired! At least give an option to the players to customize the controls they way they like it that's common sense!
    The only good thing is the addition of a few new vehicles and that's it.
    My suggestion is to not even bother buying this game stay playing BF3.    … Expand

    Review of multiplayer only Battlefield 3 showed me what Call of Duty was missing. I never thought I would go back to CoD, but if they cannot do better than this with their follow up effort I just might have to.

I never thought I would go back to CoD, but if they cannot do better than this with their follow up effort I just might have to. I wish there was a Battlefield clone that I could recommend for those of you are addicted to the large scale warfare set in a realistic world that requires teamwork and includes vehicles, but unfortunately this is probably the best you are going to get. If you haven't played BF3 yet, I would highly recommend that instead... if they still run BF3 servers that is.

    There are just so many "headscratching" moments during any given session that it really make me wonder if this could possibly have been the finished product they intended. I realize this was probably designed for the next-gen systems and the PS3 was an afterthought, but here are some of my issues:
    1) Bullet detection I cannot count the number of times I have just WAILED on an unsuspecting opponent from close range with my primary weapon run out of ammo switch to my sidearm and hit him some more just to have him turn around and shoot me once with a pistol and I go down immediately. Then, as if to demonstrate just how poorly their software is working, the "I just got killed" screen shows me that my target still has 50% of his life left... wha? and while I must admit I sometimes get to be the unsuspecting target with the pistol that was magically victorious, it does not make me feel any better about it.
    2) The gunner on just about every vehicle is so much weaker than in BF3. Picking off guys in the helicopter or from the gunner seat in a tank used to be fun. Now you plug a guy several times and they still won't go down. The vehicles are pretty much only good for rides across the giant maps. The jets used to be my favorite... they are pretty much worthless now and I pass on them every time.
    3) Graphical anomalies during round startup!? Why would you want the round to start before all the textures were loaded? The first 30 seconds of every round looks like you're playing on a PS One. And the sound during this time period is atrocious.
    4) Sound This is the first game that I have noticed the sound... which means it is BAD... REAL BAD. Long stretches (30 minutes) of sounding like I'm under water. Random loss of sound. And I'm guessing many of the times that I'm been killed by one magic bullet is actually probably the 6th or 7th fired, the sound of the first 5 isn't heard on my machine.
    5) I've been playing the game for a month and very few games have locked up requiring a restart as often as this one has.

    Am I going to stop playing? No. If fact, I'll probably get it for the PS4 when I finally get one. But I'm just coming to realize that I am more fond of the concept/potential of this game versus the game itself. If this had been the first BF I played back in my CoD days, there's no way I would be a BF fan.    … Expand

    Originally, I over-looked the low scores of this game and assumed they had to have been posted by COD fans and people who are not fans of the series, as there is a war out there amongst such titles. As a fan of the Battlefield series, I urge you to take these low scores seriously. This game should have never been shipped and sold at the price it is in its current broken condition.

Theirs a lot of things to do after you finish the campaign, you could complete it at a higher difficulty, you can collect all the guns/collectibles and complete all the assignments. This is a solid shooter, with an underrated campaign, and also this games graphics/story/gameplay are way better than COD: Ghosts. Overall Score= 78/100… Expand

It proves that name alone doesn't make up for a rush job of a game. Still despite its issues it still provides a decent enough of an experience to be worth a spot in your multiplayer selections, just don't expect greatness.

    The campaign is enjoyable enough to be worth a playthrough. It's short and the characters and story are forgettable, but the firefight you'll find here are fun enough to keep you entertained until the credits roll. The only thing that really stands out about it is the fact that you can rank up a high-score based on how well you perform. For the most part though it is about what you would expect for a modern FPS campaign. Lots of explosions and set pieces all crammed into a 4 to 5 hour experience. It's not perfect but it is far from the worst campaign I've played in a FPS. But let's be honest no one is going to buy this game for its campaign, multiplayer is the strength of this series.

    As far as multiplayer goes it to is simply an adequate experience. It's also where the game feels the most rushed. The graphics, which manage to stay pretty nice throughout the campaign, are atrocious during multiplayer matches. Textures are washed out and everything just looks dated and ugly. Gameplay manages to hold up for the most part with a nice selection of maps and game modes. Minor glitches and some balancing issues hold the experience back, but what really hurts the experience is the sense of deja vu. It feels remarkably like Battlefield 3 did, only with dated presentation. But even with issues Battlefield 4's multiplayer provides enough thrills to be worth playing.

    Overall it seems like DICE rushed out this latest Battlefield simply to compete with the latest Call of Duty. It lacks the polish of previous entries in the series and ends up feeling like more of the same. In the end it is hard to complain about more of the Battlefield series sweet multiplayer, even if it does feel very rushed. It may not wow you in the same way Battlefield 3 did, but its multiplayer will keep you entertained. I can only hope that with the next Battlefield that DICE manages to make sure everything is up to snuff before releasing it. I understand that they want to compete with COD, but they will only manage to hurt themselves if they don't add that last layer of polish.    … 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.
