    This game was rushed. While the game has potential, it lacks stability.

    Multi-player is broken. Can't join friends most of the time. Says server is full, but my friends clearly state there are several slots available on both sides. Going from server browsing back to main multi-player menu leaves a ghost of previous text on screen. Have to back all the way out to clear. Server browsing is useless. Doesn't show active games, even if you filter to only show servers with people in them.

    Needs a lot of work to save this title from infamy. I better get my money worth from soon-to-come updates or I won't be pre-ordering this franchise again. Too expensive to gamble on a crap game. Thank you, EA,, for putting our money towards a coffin. 3/10    … Expand

    Sorry to say, this is a buggy mess. The server matchmaking is broken, the load times are still awful, and even the Menus bug out regularly. Just spent 30 minutes trying to get into *any* TDM server. No Dice. I wouldn't mind that this is similar to BF3, if they had only fixed the things that were bad about BF3 here.

    -Huge beautiful maps
    -Incredible destructive environments
    -Great, if slightly choppy animations, and mobility systems (slide, duck, prone, run, swim, parachute)
    -Many well realized ways to engage in combat including but not limited to: vehicles, turrets, and a vary deep class customization system.
    -Tons of weapon variety
    -A capacity for strategy and teamwork just not seen in other war-themed multiplayer games
    I would have given this game a 9 BUT:
    What can I say... I loved the Beta because I expected bugs and server issues, but now that I've put a great deal of time into the full release on the xbox 360, and I'm very disappointed! I'll keep the CAPS to a min, but I can't help myself; THE GAME ISN"T FINISHED! DICE have created something with amazing potential but I can hardly run it on my early 2012 Xbox 360. I understand that it is becoming standard practice for developers/publishers to use the end users as quality control but this is ridiculous. Every time I sit down to play within an hour or two the game freezes and on two occasions this freezing has corrupted my saved game files. In addition to freezing my xbox the servers will become unavailable and there are many in game glitches.

    Bottom line: After a similar release fiasco with BF3 (major updates having been needed) I would caution everyone not to purchase any EA/DICE product within the first couple months.

    The game tries to build up a relationship with you and "Tombstone squad", as well as the threat from the east, but the writers clearly missed a huge oppertunity to make a good story. The characters are boring, the story I couldn't really care about and when you are faced with a a"ultimatium", they clearly missed a Third choise and resulted into this "I couldn't give a damn" attitude I felt after completing the story.

    Now, moving on to Multiplayer:

    Multiplayer is broken... Surpricingly broken. It seems rushed and worst: They aliennate the BF3 Veterans from the game!

    Featuers such as Sqaud up and Customize solider in the main menu is removed in favour of doing it on Battlelog, which should be a surpulus, NOT A REPLACEMENT!

    Haveing issues with joining friends in servers, by reciving messeges such as: No avaible Commander position, "black screen of death", In game "Lag"(even in multiplayer), Start is leaderboard button- confusion(really Dice?), battlepacks is the new reward system, and more

    Also, let's start with the grafic bugs too, shall we?

    Ugly, delayed pop-ins that even block Iron sight, SPAWN IN WITHOUT WEAPONS, wierd physics, dissapearing bodies when aproaching them to revive them and more to come...

    Thought, it did have something that I think was cool, such as Commander mode returned from BF2, some maps wasn't half bad on Domination, Levelution counts for every map on every game mode, You starts with flares and missilies on helicopters and Jet's, Singelplayer have some neat featuers in Multiplayer such as exclusive unlocks and Squad based perks, you get for team effort among squads!

    But all these can't bear the weight of the negative experience I have been trhough with this game and therefor I say the game is equal to a 4/10 based on the experience I have been left with...

    it is a pitty, I did enjoy Battlefield 3, despite it's problem, but this game feels so rushed out of the studio that I think it was to compete with Call of duty Ghost's releas date on the 5th of November...
    If they have taken some time to iron out some of the issues, I would have gladely given it a 6/10, but right now...

    The jets are not so good this time. Lack of controls and smaller boundaries make flying terrible.
    You start in the jet, no more taking off...can't slow down...just terrible

    Sniping has been improved imo. Perhaps the game outgrew the current gen consoles.

    The game has made some advancements over Battlefield 3, but it falls terribly short in game play and over all experience.

Usually more is better and in this case it would have been, but instead of just adding features like the battle packs, EA decided to remove features like editing load outs pre-battle so that you now have to waste gameplay time adjusting gun or vehicle upgrades. Unless of course you make those changes from battle log (a 3rd party website) on a computer.

    The tuned graphics are great, but many areas have not been fully refined leaving the game with an unfinished look. In game sounds aren't any more realistic and whatever enjoyment could still be had in the game is ruined by constant crashing and the difficulty one experiences trying to join a game with friends.

    The OEM button mapping is ridiculous and the only other option, "veteran" which is intended to mirror BF3 mapping, is just dissimilar enough to confuse BF3 players in those life threatening in game moments. Again this kills any gameplay enjoyment and no other option for button mapping is available.

    The single player game play is dreadfully slow and boring. Parts of the single player game seem like a mixing of a FPS and an RPG and definitely not in a good way. For example, after a large action fight, your character then has to walk forever around an aircraft carrier looking for someone. When you find that person, you then need to listen to them babble on without any skip option. Not many play BF for the single player and I can't imagine anyone enjoying this. It feels more like a chore to endure in order to unlock multiplayer weapons.

    I would have purchased an xbox1 if BF4 was decent on 360. I'm not going to risk all that money for a game and console that might play the way it does on the 360. Very disappointed. Do not buy for 360 if you haven't already.    … Expand

    The campaign is dreadful and embarrassing for a a company that allegedly was looking to 'excel the single player experience'. The multiplayer is simply appalling in this day and age and EA have done a superb job in selling the gamer a red-herring in its promotional videos as the experience with the fine Battlefield community does not reflect the impressive footage we saw in the aggressive promotion over the past few months.

    The maps are completely unbalanced and don't accommodate the modes to a high standard unlike the ones we saw on the brilliant BF3. The destruction may seem impressive at first but this becomes a familiar affair once you know the ins and outs of the individual maps. It soon feels predictable and scripted if you frequently play the uninspiring and characterless settings. The matchmaking and server reliability has to be called into question as too many games suffer from crashes, stutters or general drops in quality. The reliance on Battlelog to instigate games just condenses the menu presentation into a dreary mess why you can't customise in the menu is beyond me. It seems EA are hell-bent on condemning the game to Cloud which means any server issues their end can cause loss of data which I experienced a couple of times in my first few games. I had to trawl through 4 matches before my stats were finally logged and saved along with my unlocks. I lost too much data on a DXP weekend which was infuriating.

    The vehicles are extremely naff and on many maps you'll struggle to sift your way through with the cumbersome controls and terrain that renders them useless. Slowdown and texture issues are also more prominent when action is rife and this just makes the overall experience tiresome and dour.

    Premium players also have a massive advantage over casuals so EA really want you to cough up the dough to improve your experience. Sadly this game does not warrant any more of your money if you've already purchased it. Those waiting for the next gen should change their pre-order immediately as this game will not improve overnight particularly as the PC version is also a major let-down.

    Ultimately, this game is broken and unfinished; even if radical improvements were issued by patch; the overall game itself feels extremely unbalanced and dissatisfying. EA do not deserve your cash and this being the follow-up to Battlefield 3 in the state it is in; is tragically tedious and a continuous disappointment that is rushed and woefully executed.    … Expand

Perks should be fixed for both teams or not have any at all. I've always loved the battlefield series and DICE. But now that EA has DICE's balls in a vice, it's finally over. The people that rate this game highly are most certainly COD converts that now like the game because it has become so similar to COD. And what's up with having to scroll from the top down on the browser server? Why can't you scroll from the bottom anymore. By the time you do locate a game that you and your buddy's can load into, it's already filled because it takes forever to scroll through. In addition to not being able to assemble a squad before hand, this game is more than frustrating when trying to play with your friends. It's sad to see such a talented bunch deliver such a huge letdown to thier core players. I'm not even going to go into the technical issues! For most, this alone is a deal breaker. I'm usually willing to put up with that crap because they usually get this things ironed out after about 6 months after numerous patching. But to just leave out a pre-game squad option is just like DICE conceding that they have come closer to COD, and emphasis on team play has been minimized. This is a fair game at best for the seasoned FPS player. It's a great game for COD players and new players to battlefield. But to us salty Battlefield guys, well, it's just clown shoes. I'm gonna sound like a for saying this, but "I'm hurt" and saddened to watch one of the best franchises around come apart at the seams.

    I just wish this game wouldn't crash during one play through. Every single time I attempt to play this piece of garbage it crashes. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

    ZERO out of ten.

    F**** you DICE.

    Dear god this game f****** sucked. I don't care if it was rushed or not, it's no excuse.
    Here are the problems(which haven't been fixed as of about a month ago, since I broke the disk):
    1. Servers constantly freeze. 2. All of my settings reset(sensitivity, screen adjustment,ect.) 3. Common frame rate drop outs. 4. The total under-powered-ness of attack helicopters(scout are not as    Dear god this game f****** sucked. I don't care if it was rushed or not, it's no excuse.

    3. Common frame rate drop outs.
    4. The total under-powered-ness of attack helicopters(scout are not as underpowered as long as you have more than two people repairing you constantly.) As, attack helicopters have a 2 minute spawn time, a 25 second flare recharge time, and are incredibly unstable when hit, forcing you to have gyro stabilizers on. When flying you have to deal with every engineer with a stinger(which is most), every other helicopter, AND the jets. You have to have some serious skill when flying, a good gunner, and be very lucky to get a 1.0+ kd.
    5. The DMRs are worthless. Quite literally, as you will be r**** if you try using them. I've unlocked most of them, and I get beat every time by ARs and SMGs.
    6. The graphics are seriously downgraded from BF3.
    7. Destructibility applies to a very limited amount of buildings.
    8. There's a map which will butt f*** you called Dawn Breaker unless you have your brightness all the way up and a flashlight on your gun.
    9. You can't change your contrast settings, so your colors will be f***** up if you want to actually see something.    … Expand

    The Xbox version is even worse than the pc version! I've played both. This one is even MORE buggy. Sniper lag and glitches are even worse! Still mediocre story, graphics and gameplay
    Kinda linear

    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.
