    Bigger and better, Battlefield 4 evolves what we saw in Battlefield 3. An experience any fan of the series should try. Cod is for kids, battlefield is for the men.

    Battlefield 4 is a good example at the fact of life that there has to be a winner and there has to be a loser. In the battle between the BF franchise and the CoD franchise, it's always been neck and neck. But with the latest installments, a winner has been crowned in my opinion.

With a community that focusses more on teamwork instead of who can get that 25 killstreak first. I can say that I did have more fun in BF3, but if you have to chose between CoD Ghosts and BF4, you better be wise and get BF4. Expand

    The game is awesome and great. A major step up in graphics even on current gen. I'm really excited for the next gen version which will look and play even better.... and with that many possible players at once.... who would stay away

    Great game. Builds on the decent Battlefield 3 by far. Does include a tacked-on Campaign, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Kept me entertained far more than it's main competitor's, Call of Duty Ghosts. Also a bit longer.

    Now, the multi-player has always been the meat and potatoes of this series. And it doesn't fail to deliver. Finally they are adding back more

    Now, the multi-player has always been the meat and potatoes of this series. And it doesn't fail to deliver. Finally they are adding back more destruction. The weapons feel great, good recoil and fairly balanced. Graphics are nothing special (on Xbox 360, on my PC looks much better). Animations are about the same. Controls are responsive and have few flaws. Map design is varied and interesting, at times stellar.

    Overall, this is a great game that I will gladly play for years to come.

    This game is honestly the biggest disappointment you will buy this year. Sound does not work, graphics do not load, and glitches are constant. I actually played for 50 seconds today before my gun spawned in. This game is WORSE than a beta. Do no buy, a complete waste of money.

    It is great for the system it is on(PS3.which is 5 years old) so I understand there are limitations. The controls I actually enjoy more. I believe this is a good game for the system and can't wait to play on PS4.

    It's game made for multi-player, nothing more. In my opinion, it has to be an Arcade Game, Free-to-Play running with micro-transitions.
    GOOD THINGS:
    A better BF3 multi-player experience, Levolution, Commander mode returns, pistols are better now.
    BAD THINGS:
    Weak campaign, the series now is trending to become annual.

    Crashes, crashes, crashes, battlepacks, battlepacks.. Another rushed EA game on the market. I really do try to like it, but dammit! Dawnbreaker or ''gamebreaker'' still crashes everytime, gun sounds dissapear and the list goes on.
    BUT when the game works, it's a solid FPS and BF sequel.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Electronic Arts, they are one of my favorite game developers. Once again, they have blown it out of the water. Battlefield 4 is an immensely powerful game both in gameplay and software requirements. I had to buy an Xbox 360 Hard Drive for my Xbox 360 Slim Edition. It requires a lot of storage, about 10 GB.

    The graphics in Battlefield 4 are exquisite, the textures may be slightly bland, but the game was optimized for the Xbox One. The sound quality was also very well done, the destructive properties are unique, and unlike any game, I have ever played. I have shot down skyscrapers with a tank and watched them fall just for fun.

    The campaign is a little difficult for someone who is new at Battlefield 4, (such as myself), but you get used to how the gameplay mechanics work.
    The multiplayer was amazing and very well, done, there may not be as many game modes as Call of Duty, but in Battlefield 4, you actually have to shoot people and take cover, you need to use strategy in multiplayer mode. Electronic Arts did a fabulous job at developing Battlefield 4 and I will always remember this as my first ever Battlefield gaming experience.

    I keep asking myself how people can judge a game by playing it for less than a day, those people who are just complaining should have a break. These days it's hard to find a good opinion.
    The game looks the same like its prequel, but what would you expect for the xbox360.
    On the other hand, there are alot of new changes in the gameplay. Maybe it will feel as an expansion pack but

I enjoy being able to defend myself against a knife now. Now there are things I don't enjoy about the game, the games vehicles are extremely armored and a lot of them have over power abilities that make it almost impossible to take down your enemy. Some of the guns are overpowered and under powered. I discovered this when running and I pulled out a gun and started to one shot everybody from 200 meters away. Made the game fun on my part, but not on other players. The game has bugs but again I know Dice will have an Update. In all the game is set up pretty well. I can't rate the campaign yet because I havn't played it through quite yet but I hope so I give this game a 8. Expand

It's amazing how you can dramatically change the maps through events. My favorite is the hurricane in paracel storm and the levee breaking in flood zone. They also added a ton of customization and it feels a lot easier to rank up vehicles now.

    Here are some minor problems with the game:

    1. You can be killed immediately when you spawn. Doesn't usually spawn you right next to enemies, so it typically happens when you spawn on a squad mate in the middle of battle. Really it's your fault for having poor map awareness. I would be much angrier if I was getting killed by temporarily invulnerable players who just spawned on the guy I was fighting with.

    2. Occasional game crashes. I would say once every 8-10 matches. Sometimes I have to turn my console off and on again. This obviously will be patched, so no need to make a fuss about it.

    3. Sometimes you start a new game and here is no sound for about 5-10 seconds. Always comes back. Same as above, not a problem and will get patched.

    I think everyone is just really really mad at the occasional stability issues. I encourage everyone to read the reviews instead of just glancing at the low user score. You will then see that the game is actually really good, and these people are just getting absolutely furious at the minor release bugs and mashing the 0 rating.

    The multiplayer is tons of fun bugs aside. I haven't even looked at the campaign disc (their not labeled though as BF3 was) because I have been having so much fun playing multiplayer.
    Bugs, it's got 'em. Yes it freezes about every 5-6 games with no warning. Yes it leaves a ghost of the game mode menu on the previous menu and you have to back out to the main menu to clear it. As annoying

As annoying as they are they aren't the bad part, it's the integrity. The game loads slow, I won't say the graphics are worse than BF3 but not much if at all better. There's enough menus to make you go insane, dang near impossible for a big group of friends to play together( there are a few glitches that don't help with it either) filters are pretty much worthless too. What is most annoying to me is that I can no longer customize my loadouts in my soldier. What the hell?! I have to use battlelog which is slower than cold molasses and oh so inconvenient. You have no idea how aggravated I get with this! I hope they don't dis these new games because of the next gen consoles because they charged full price so I want full price quality.
    On another note you die a lot faster than BF3 personally I don't like that all that much. Aside from the bulk of what I said this game is fun, not as fun as I could be, but that's fixable (as I hope happens) because I don't plan on rushing out and blowing $700 on an xbox 1 and all the new games for it.
    All in all it's a good game that if fixed would be a great game. If I hadn't pre ordered it I would have waited until the ratings improved.

    I've never been a big fan of campaign modes when it comes to shooters, I only play it if there are important perks/upgrades that can be gained in them for online multiplayer. From playing and watching campaign modes through the years, I have to say that I'm a underwhelmed by the campaign mode in this game, which inspired me to push through it as fast as I could.

    As far as online

From playing and watching campaign modes through the years, I have to say that I'm a underwhelmed by the campaign mode in this game, which inspired me to push through it as fast as I could.

    As far as online multiplayer goes, I like Conquest mode the best. I feel like it's the best all-around mode which showcases what this game is capable of/all about. Even after dying/waiting for respawn; spectating the action across the maps is a great experience. The Levolution feature definitely adds a new dimension to battles; the mayhem is a sight to behold. The sea/water maps are very realistic; especially with the bouncing you experience while riding in a watercraft and trying to aim your weapon at the same time. One of the only gripes I have are the stability issues of the servers, but I'm sure that will be ironed out as time goes on.

    One of the best features in this game, which I think other similar games should have is the test range where you can get familiar with the myriad of weapons, vehicles, and their associated loadouts/upgrades.

    I noticed that the shooting/gunplay was much tighter and that the weapons upgrades showed a much more noticable difference than before, which is great on top of the fact that suppressive fire is that much more lethal now.

    I will definitely buy this for Xbox One once I get my hands on it.

    NOTES: Played on Xbox 360; switched back and forth between multiplayer and campaign; finished campaign about a couple od days ago.

    Note I would have given a rating of 10 if it weren't for the cons listed below.

    Pros: - Test Range The "Test Range" is the best new feature introduced in BF4 that seems to go unmentioned and is often overlooked (hidden in the Multiplayer menu…should be moved up to top menu level). The Test Range allows you to test all the vehicles (helicopters, jets, tanks, boats, etc.) in a private
    Note I would have given a rating of 10 if it weren't for the cons listed below.

    Pros:

    - Test Range The "Test Range" is the best new feature introduced in BF4 that seems to go unmentioned and is often overlooked (hidden in the Multiplayer menu…should be moved up to top menu level). The Test Range allows you to test all the vehicles (helicopters, jets, tanks, boats, etc.) in a private environment so that you can become proficient with the drive controls and weaponry. There is also a shooting range so that you can test out weapons with various setups. This feature should have been added many years ago.

    - Destruction Think of the destruction in BF4 as a combination of the destruction available in Bad Company 2 destruction in BF3 some new “Levolution” destruction. The point is you can fully take down and collapse most of the smaller buildings (BC2), you can chip away at (and often fully destroy) walls and other various structures on the map (BF3), and you can bring down some really big stuff via Levolution features that are specific to a given map (BF4).

    - Graphics BF4 graphics are actually very good on the 360; however, many people mention the graphics negatively, saying they don't looks as good as BF3. There is a quick fix for this, go to "OPTIONS GAMEPLAY NETWORK SMOOTHING FACTOR" and adjust the network smoothing up to 100%...bingo there are your stellar graphics.

    - Spawning How you spawn into a game has been greatly improved/simplified in BF4. It is now very easy to spawn on a squadmate or into any vehicle directly.

    - Vehicles All the traditional vehicles (tanks, choppers, jets, land vehicles, etc.) are here and boats are back in a big way...the "attack boats" are especially fun and allow you to have a crew of up to 4 players in a boat while accessing a variety of weapons for anti-aircraft, anti-vehicle, anti-infantry, etc. There are some new controller layouts for the vehicles and these are designed to make piloting the vehicles a bit easier and more intuitive. I have found that the new control layouts are pretty good and often more intuitive (esp for choppers)...and if you don't like them you can switch to "veteran/legacy" layouts. The Test Range is the perfect place to tryout which controller layouts will work best.

    - Maps The maps are well designed and balanced and have a great variety of landscapes and features. Without going into a great amount of detail on the maps it is safe to assume that they are very good in general...my personal favorites are Paracel Storm (islands) and Operation Locker (prison).

    - Weapons The weapons are great and there are too many features/attachments to list out here. One of the better updates is the ability to quickly range/zero sniper rifles (although snipers seem a bit overpowered). There are also a variety of new rocket launchers that are helpful in taking out all of the various land and air based vehicles.

    - Obliteration Game Variant This is a new game variant that involves a single bomb that each team fights to maintain control of and eventually plant in enemy territory. Without going into too much explanation this game mode is very, very fun and filled with lots and lots of action. The traditional game modes (conquest, rush, domination, etc.) are also there, but from my experience so far Obliteration is by far the best new game variant.

    - Commander Mode Reintroduced in BF4 the Commander game play option can be a fun way to play (higher level, somewhat slower pace). Players need to become educated on how to interpret the Commander orders and it is probably best to play as Commander with a live mic on so that you can actually talk to the squads when issuing orders. A well versed Commander can really help to drive a team to victory as they have the ability to see a global view of the action and to deliver resources and orders accordingly. There is a new app coming out supposedly in Nov that will allow you to play as Commander on a tablet (Apple or Android).

    Cons:

    - Game Lockups As of the date of this review you do in fact still experience an occasional lockup while playing, and this is very irritating as it causes you to have to reboot and can sometimes result in losing some of your settings. Apparently clearing your cache can help with this. EA needs to fix this issue ASAP!

    - Joining Multiplayer Servers You currently can’t join a multiplayer game with a pre-assembled squad of players (each player has to join on their own). This is irritating at best and hopefully EA will fix this. Additionally, while the server browser works, it needs some updates in order to make it more useful (e.g. ability to scroll servers from bottom up). Despite these issues joining servers is very fast and once you are on a server it is fairly easy and fast for your friends to join you (provided there are available player slots).

    - Configuring Loadouts When you first try to configure your weapon/vehicle loadouts you will most naturally go the “MY SOLDIER” menu option only to find that you can’t configure your loadouts there…very irritating. The only way you can configure loadouts on the console is a) within an actual multiplayer game or b) on the Test Range. The other way to configure your loadouts is on the Web via Battlelog.

    - Campaign The campaign was ok…but just ok. The storyline is a bit hard to follow at times and I was surprised at the very sparse use of vehicles during the campaign. These things aside you will want to plod through the campaign as there are several weapons that are unlocked via the campaign that you can use in multiplayer.

    - Newb Factor BF4 like the other BF games can be somewhat intimidating to jump into for inexperienced (and even experienced) players. The Test Range is a step in the right direction and will help some with this…but it would also be helpful if there were some simulation game variants so that players could fight against a variety of bots in order to develop their skills (on the Test Range nothing fights back).

    I've been playing BF4 since and am glad that I've made the switch to a game which has a lot more 'mature' players. Don't get me wrong there are some sweaty kids about who are clearly only interested in their K/D ratio but overall as the teams are 30 each you are usually only lumbered with a few of these morons at best so they don't have an impact on the result and usually end up near the bottom of the leaderboard when playing 'conquest'.

    The gameplay is excellent, the vehicles are very good and you have to learn them all as they are not (apart from most land vehicles) that easy to use straight away and the choice of guns is more than adequate. Graphics wise I prefer it to CoD as it seems a little more realistic (CoD now seems a tad 'cartoon' like in comparison when I occaisonally watch my friends clips on XBOX ONE taht appear in my stream.

    The only thing I would change if given the choice would be to limit the amount of times people can use some of the more unique vehicles on certain maps as some people will crash an attack chopper (like the 'Little Bird') and then just hang around not respawning until the helicopter itself respawn's at base and then they deploy straight away and end up spending the whole game 'hogging' certain vehicles.

    That is just a minor gripe, at the end of the day there are lot of selfish idiots out there, this game is VERY GOOD. If you like FPS's and aren't 12 years old and obsessed with having a gun with diamonds on it then I'd advise you to buy this as you'll love it....I look forward to meeting you on the Battlefield folks!!!

    Not the greatest launch with this one. At the moment there's some bugs to be fixed; crashing, net-code problems etc. Anyways Dice are working on the patches and the game is definitely getting better and more stable after them. I also expect more from them, cause this game deserves more than 8. Just because of bf3.

    Hopefully they will patch these problems away, soon! Then it's 9 or 10.

    This new installment of the Battlefield series opens it's campaign with you shooting the windshield of a sinking SUV and next shooting a helicopter down and much more thrills. Sadly, this level is the exception. The rest of the campaign goes into complete frustration and making you follow a [relatively] set path. This campaign seems still to be a step down from BF3's already drab campaign.This new installment of the Battlefield series opens it's campaign with you shooting the windshield of a sinking SUV and next shooting a helicopter down and much more thrills.

This campaign seems still to be a step down from BF3's already drab campaign. Yet, the multiplayer is AWESOME. From knocking down buildings to calling in air strikes in commander mode makes this multiplayer the best. Hug maps and endless supplies of vehicles definitely surpasses that f BF3 or Call of Duty: Ghosts. If you can't pilot a helicopter quite well try the "test range" where you can try all the vehicles. Battlefield 4 has an amazing multiplayer and stunning opening campaign level, yet the rest of the campaign is severely drab. If you are looking for the complete package BF4 is not quite it, but worth it if you want a great FPS. See you on the Battlefield! Expand

    While the campaign is a damn sight better than Battlefield 3's, it still falls a little flat in spots. [Issue#105, p.82]

    For all of its innovative bonuses however, Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360 is beginning to show signs of age. It can be applauded for great water physics and being able to handle the frame rate of a constantly dynamic environment rather well in both single and multiplayer. However, the character models and maps are definitely looking rather blocky and dated, even at 1080p.

    Battlefiled 4 lacks in the single-player campaign with a dull and forgettable story, while its still remains a very strong experience in its multiplayer side. Unfortunately it gets dragged down by several bugs capable of impacting the entire experience with hangs, savegame corruption and hitbox problems that we hope will be quickly be fixed.
