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

    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.

    P.S This is based on the current gen version from a long time fan of the series This also is based on my opinions    … Expand

    Best FPS experience I've ever played and definitely the most realistic. The graphics are stunning for a 6 year old hard drive and graphics card. I love this game. BF4 beats COD Ghosts any day.

    Although Origin is still a chore and what I REALLY wanted was something like Battlefield 2142, dems da breaks.

    Been on a total bender playing recently. I left BF3 to collect dust a while ago and was totally pumped that this game reignited my inner killer. Call of Duty was always kinda meh to me and I think most people would agree that EA has the formula down for leading this genre.

    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. So I sign, maybe get a little misty eyed, play the game, and feel a lot better.    … Expand

    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

    Where do I begin? This game is great... it has it's flaws but then again what game doesn't?

    It feels "fresh" definitely different from bf3, so it'll take some time to get used to it. It's a faster paced game than bf3, and also it feels like you have less health in this game compared to bf3.

    It feels "fresh" definitely different from bf3, so it'll take some time to get used to it. It's a faster paced game than bf3, and also it feels like you have less health in this game compared to bf3.

    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.

    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.

    Battlefield 4 is the newest game in the Battlefield franchise and this game is pretty decent. If you are a veteran player, this game to me feels like what Battlefield 3 should have been. The multiplayer maps are once again huge and all have very interesting "levolutions" which change the map. These changes can be collapsing a skyscraper, flooding a city or blowing a hole in a dam.

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.

It was just not worth the $60 price tag at launch. Since then, it has gotten much better with a lot less lag and barely any rubber-banding.

    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.

    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.

This is due to the many glitches that were plaguing the game, especially multiplayer. And in the midst of all this, EA was releasing DLC after DLC for the game. 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

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

    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.

    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

The netcode is terrible, weapons are unbalanced, it constantly freezes your console and there are many glitches/bugs from audio to graphic to even a few game breaking bugs.

    The orange filter on the killcam is cartoonish and a put off, the graphics on a PS3 are significantly worse than BF3 at times (when they even decide to render) and the map design is bland and at times boring. Not to mention every gui is ugly and glitchy in the game.The menu is ugly, slow and freezes, the server browser becomes not responsive, the spawn menu is slow and confusing for a few hours of gameplay.

But I don't have hope of it getting better because they've ruined the feel of Battlefield and seem to be trying to compete with Call of Duty by copying that play style and adding vehicles.    … 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

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?

    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.

I hope to whatever god that's out there that the PS4, Xbone, and PC versions are much better than this.

    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

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

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

    THE BAD:

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

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

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

    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

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.

    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
    5) точность стрельбы в игре просто ублюдство
    6) физика разрушений прикольная
    7) текстуры красивые но их физика говно как говорил ранее постоянно будете через них проваливаться

    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.
