    Campaign is fun but there are major issues with save files corrupting. Many players are having to re-do countless hours of singleplayer due to bugs.

    Multiplayer is basically unplayable at the moment as well.

    The game is fantastic when it actually works. Right now, a week after launch, it is completely unplayable due to developer incompetence.

DICE and EA don't deserve your money at the moment for the shoddy, bug-ridden experience they have put out here.… Expand

    Absolutely awesome startup to new ps4. Awesome graphics, awesome multiplayer, great perfomance. The new levolution system works and feels great, especially on flood zone. Ps. 1080р and 60 fps. 10/10.

I have been playing this game for 2 years on Xbox and on PC and I still keep coming back to it. It deserves so much more credit than it got. BF1 is nice, but it just doesn't have that unknown thing that makes the game addictive and something to look forward to. This is one of my favorite two games of all time.… Expand

    First of all, just want to clarify I’ll only give my opinion about the SP campaign, I haven’t tried the multiplayer nor I am interested in it, although I’m pretty sure it is quite decent.

    I am just going to say that the graphics, voice acting, sound effects etc. are quite good, I don’t think this comes as a surprise as DICE is usually very good at that. In terms of gameplay, it is just another FPS game, with all the good and the bad. If you like FPS, you will definitely enjoy this one. I don’t think there is a lot to say as everybody has played a CoD or a BF or something at some point and there is nothing special about BF4. I’d only say, in terms of the campaign, I am a bit disappointed. The campaign is not as spectacular and such an adrenaline rush as it is in other games. The story is quite basic, there is absolutely nothing special about it, the characters are a cliché and the missions are not specially surprising, meaning you won’t see something you’ll say “wow”. As I said, this is kind of a disappointment since BF3 had a great campaign, with great story and some really “wow” moments. I understand a lot of the focus on these games (from devs and players) goes into the multiplayer and, that solo player is not that important anymore, but BF4 campaign feels as if it was done quickly to just tick the “this game has a single player mode” box.

    My opinion then is, if you enjoy this kind of games for the campaign, just buy this one if it is quite cheap (got it on sales for less than a fiver), otherwise look for something else, because you’ll complete the game with a “meh” feeling. Those mainly looking for a good multiplayer experience, I don’t know, but this game is probably quite good for that (read some other reviews ).    … Expand

    I've played an awful lot of first person shooters in the past and not many have come close to being so frustratingly addicting online.

Firstly though, let's address the extremely average campaign. I found myself often watching cut scenes with a whole lot of destruction and angry men shouting, without really understanding what was happening. Even the incredible graphics & sound design couldn't take away from the countless repetitive missions featuring set objectives... yawn. However, the multiplayer aspect of this game is where everything clicks. Call of Duty really can't come close to this, in the sense of sheer map design & size, teamwork, realism and self satisfaction. It is't a simulator of course, but it makes it's main rivals look like Space Invaders. One of the best games of 2013 - purely for the multiplayer experience.… Expand

Para colmo la clase de apoyo es inútil si vas a usarla ni se te ocurra llevar las ametralladoras porque tienen una dispersión ridícula. hay armas chetadisimas como la AEK971 o la ace 23 que les ganan a todas las demás hasta a escopetas o snipers. Hablando de snipers son muy malos las balas son lentas y lo peor después de los 100 metros ya no matan de un tiro a no ser que des en la cabeza y con una velocidad mala y caída exagerada suerte dando en la cabeza. Los tanques son difíciles de matar porque se reparan rápido y si fallas un lanzamisiles suerte matándolo. Además son rapidísimo les disparas y van a 60kph hacias atrás además hay muchísimos por mapa. Los helicópteros de reconocimiento se pueden reparar en el aire en medio de un tiroteo esto los hace un blanco mucho más difícil. También hay ridiculeadas como que el arma de un antiaéreo puede perforar un tanque. Básicamente no tiene sentido y hablando de antiaéreos estos se pueden quedar en su base quietos y destrozar cualquier helicóptero o caza que haya y de los cazas se puede decir que son inutiles sobre todo el de ataque ya que en este juego si tiras un misil guiado a laser a un bug no lo destruye le hace 48 DE DAÑO. En fin el multijugador es un desastre que no arreglaron nunca. Y del modo campaña siendo sincero no jugando te haces un bien… Expand

    Do NOT buy this game! In it's current state this game is a mess. Every time I play the campaign the game crashes and corrupts my save. DICE seems to be putting no effort into fixing the issue. When the game works it's great but MP issues and a broken campaign makes me feel like I've been cheated $90 for what I paid for it.

You can drive tanks, jets, jeeps, helicopters, jet ski, etc. You can be a sniper or go with a shotgun, however you like to play a shooter, the game lets you play the way you want to! Most maps are large so you can choose how you want to attack a target, this gives you room to maneuver - charge or retreat.

    2. Head glitching is STILL a MAJOR problem and I constantly get killed from someone's forehead.
    3. I STILL get shot from around corners or through LAYERS of thick concrete from an assault rifle.
    4. OP guns are still OP!
    5. Campaign is absolute crap and about a black guy hating a Chinese lady. That pretty much sums up 4 hours of your life right there.
    6. A shotgun with explosive rounds can ABSOLUTELY DESTROY a concrete wall but takes an ENTIRE magazine to kill someone!! WTF?!
    7. Scope glare from snipers is visible even if the sniper's FACING AWAY from the sun! Stupid balancing!
    8. Sniper rifles take more than one shot to kill someone, even if the shot is directly to the persons heart!
    9. PDWs (like the mp7 and such) are TERRIBLE and their damage is so little they should never be used!
    10. Spotting system lets you spot someone in complete cover and in bushes and stuff where, even in real life, you couldn't ever see that person! You can also spot from the other side of the entire map!
    11. The Airburst kills people instantly and is waaaay too OP.
    12. A shotgun directly to someone's chest not even 1 foot away doesn't kill that person.
    13. Whenever you join a match, about 90% of the time you're automatically on the losing team and about 90% of the time you lose the match terribly.
    14. The maps are REALLY dark and you need a flashlight to see people in broad daylight! Legit no joke.
    15. Incindiary grenades hurt you from a significant distance and even go through walls and ceilings!!!!

So you have to wait till a perfect moment when your friend says "SOMEONE LEFT QUE QUE QUE!!" and maybe just maybe you get to play together.

    I honestly can't believe people payed $60 (+$50 for premium) for a broken BF3 downgrade. It's essentially a beta that you pay for. In fact, it's more broken that the beta that was released months ago. Freezing and god awful netcode makes this game unplayable.

    Ignore the critics, this game is awful. Spend your money somewhere else. Perhaps on a game that is finished.

    Awards system makes game more attractive, as you need to play it to unlock accessories, weapons or vehicles. This causes every player has their own mastered skill set, using different range of weapons and/or vehicles which makes the play more entertaining as you just can't predict what the next round would look like.

    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.
