    **** campaign, token **** token chink, token women to appease our new nice friends SJWs
    Female angry sergeant because they need to show that there's a stronk independent womin around
    Ebin music out of the ass when nothing worth giving a **** about happens Silly and short story Sometimes the gameplay is alright, the other times it's on rails Although you can die for bull**** like in    **** campaign, token **** token chink, token women to appease our new nice friends SJWs

    El juego tiene unas imagenes brutales, unas graficas brutales, una buena customizacion; pero nada de eso se puede disfrutar si no sirve el juego. No lo recomiendo para nada, a menos que quieras pasar un 95% del 100% del tiempo que jueges molesto; con rubber band brutal y un lag asqueroso. Soy premium y me arrepiento tanto de haber gastado tanto dinero en este juego.

    Purchased the game but it feels like a demo. For nearly every game mode or map i have to buy expansions. Avoid this sneaky new business model people. The game may cost like 50$ but you will need to pay atleast 50$ more for expansions. And probably even more.

    Awful abomination, that was created for whatever reason, but not enjoyment. It's not a shooter, but arcade. Hit registration for that game will make you question the reason why multiplayer exist for this game. Cheating, hacking, glitching and poor balance on top of that: that's all what you will find in this game for unreasonable price... Don't even think about investment in this game.Awful abomination, that was created for whatever reason, but not enjoyment. It's not a shooter, but arcade.

    Do the game makers really want us all to be fighting these battles in a sand pit with no sharp edges and with only balloons as weapons so that no one ends up loosing or crying? Stop pandering to those sad creatures/tree huggers who don't like head shots, shotguns, or anything else that might be too much like a real war 'cause they might get scared. These idiots will ruin the game.

    I've been playing this game since release on both PC and PS4. Always been a huge BF fan so I had this on preload for PC and picked up copy I got my PS4. The game released to a very rocky launch filled with issues and bugs specially on PS4. That is not the reason for my score infact it barely has any effect on it. You know what my issue is?

That is not the reason for my score infact it barely has any effect on it. You know what my issue is? How BF went from what was so great in Badcompany 2 and BF2-3 to release this. This game is clearly made with the purpose to directly compete with the CoD series rather than be a BF game. I can list my various little complaints all day if I wanted and if you can't see what I'm saying you still wouldn't be any more convinced as to why I feel this way. As a long time BF player I feel like the series has lost it's way. I didn't purchase hard line and I likely will not purchase what comes next. I still play this game but mostly because of a felt obligation after going premium. Too much invested to not get some time in. It must not be too bad if I can at least stomach it right?… Expand

    Wow, as a long Battlefield fan. There is no words how much DICE f**ked BF4 up.

    Litterely everytime I spawn I get killed by some helicopter ot a Premium player who kills me in 1-2 seconds, Giving me no chance to react or defend myself. There is no spawn protection either. So when you're playing this sh*t you'll just find yourself dying every 5 seconds. Well, let's talk about the    Wow, as a long Battlefield fan. There is no words how much DICE f**ked BF4 up.

So when you're playing this sh*t you'll just find yourself dying every 5 seconds. Well, let's talk about the singleplayer story

    Battlefield has never been a singleplayer FPS. But for some reason they keep adding it. And what's even the point in doing that? The singleplayer is just 4-5 hours long, Maybe longer if you're playin ln a harder difficulty. And what happened to playing against bots? Anyone remembers that in Battlefield 1943?

    It just seems like everything DICE develops turns out to be a disappointment.

    The multiplayer aspect of the game is just so boring and repetitive. There was just 5-6 maps at launch. Since then DICE added 2-3 more. Unless you own the Premium edition you'll just find yourself playing the same maps over and over. Untill you get bored and delete the game.

    I mea, how much can you f*ck up Battlefield? A couple of maps, 2 teams, vehicles and control points? A bunch of 12 year old cab create a better version of Battlefield than a studio full of grown men and women. 12 year olds woulden't use the same engine for 14 years. Let's just hope the next Battlefield isn't a broken piece of sh*t at launch. Or else the Battlefield series is screwed. They'll just keep pumping out new Battlefield games every year untill people stop buying them.

    So no, don't buy this on any system. Go out and buy Battlefield 1942.    … Expand

    Initially this game released with massive bugs, but they turned it around, and made it great. I do not enjoy the class changes this had compared to Battlefield 3, and I hate the IRNV/FLIR being in the game, and I never really liked the gun-play in this. It's essentially full auto to win

    Map selection is okay, and the map changing events were a major gimmick to sell the game, and so battlefield players could use as an elitist argument against call of duty.

    Now, DICE wasn't really ever known for making great campaigns, but this plot was pretty neat... the execution... so-so. It has a really gamey ending.    … Expand

    This is only a review for the single player campaign, because that’s all I played.

    The game has an average story with a few twists and turns to keep you awake through its beginning, but I actually enjoyed the ending.

    The game has an average story with a few twists and turns to keep you awake through its beginning, but I actually enjoyed the ending. It’s a pretty good war movie about a squad of marines coming together.

    However, the gameplay was an issue for me throughout. First, you’d better nail your headshots, because otherwise enemies take four, five, or six shots to bring down. That takes a long time, especially when they’re all hiding behind cover. Your best move is to run around them just to speed up the process, but then you might find yourself outgunned without cover, and you’ll die quickly.

    And when you die, the checkpoints are miles apart. There are multiple points where you’ll clear a monstrous path of enemies featuring tanks and folks with mortars right and left, then die in the next section (with its OWN tank and guys with mortars), and you’ll have to clear the first area again. It’s too much.

    On another note, the levels were too long. It took me an hour and a half to do each one, on average. Forty-five minutes is about what is good—double that, and I got tired. (The levels would have been a lot shorter if the checkpoint system had more points of respawn.)

    It was very strange that the main character wasn’t voiced, yet he gets asked so many direct questions. Ha. If you knew you weren’t going to voice the main character, isn’t it better not to ask him things directly, so there aren’t so many awkward pauses? It could have been written differently.

    There wasn’t much mission variety other than the context of each mission. What I mean to say is that each mission gave you a new story you’re involved in, but the gameplay was basically the same other than boats and tanks. Mission variety keeps things moving.

    And, lastly, it was cool that so many buildings could fall apart, but this led to some really clumsy hitboxes and shots that looked totally clear but were actually obstructed (by nothing).

    All in all, not a game I would recommend for the campaign (or, more accurately, a game I would recommend somebody watch a playthrough of rather than play themselves due to all the bugs). I gave it four points because at least it worked (generally), and I did enjoy the ending of the story.    … Expand

    This is a boring game. I'd give it a "2" out of generosity. It costed 4 bucks and even that was too much for that game.

    In comparison with the current-gen of consoles, Battlefield 4 is the shooter for the next-gen consoles. The graphics are even more stunning than before and there’s an ability to play with more gamers on the console. Choose the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One-version above the current-gen versions.

    The issues aren’t ruinous, and in the case of the multiplayer more an inconvenience that EA needs to address than anything else – but it’s enough to take the shine off what should be one of the best shooters on PS4.
