Battlefield 4: What a Disappointment


Recommended Posts

I bought BF4 thinking it was gonna be better than BF3 and I am very disappointed to say the least. 4 months later I am still regretting buying it. There is hardly anyone playing it. Most people I see are still playing BF3. I went back to BF3 and its amazing. Why would EA want to mess a good thing up by making BF4? There was no need to. All they had to do is create more maps and optimize the game. Constant disconnects are the least of its problems not to mention that horrific new menu.

 

Anyone else here unhappy with BF4?

I was when it was launched due to all the issues but now it runs great, always loads of matches to play and the graphics are lovely to boot.

Ps4 version btw

I still play it plenty and enjoy it and there are loads of servers on the PC,
A few game types are lacking lots of servers like Carrier Assault, might just have to wait in a queue a few mins, but you have to remember due to the demands of the players they don't use peer hosting, it's dedicated servers, those cost to run especially on PC where played expect larger 48 and 64 player servers.

What platform are you on? If pC what's your system specs/internet connection? I've been playing BF4 for well over a year and only experienced problems the first month of the launch. I also recommend a SSD and an upper scale vid card. If your system/vid card/internet speed is inadequate then the experience will be far from positive on BF4.

I am on a PC and a member of a clan [NODA].We have 2/48 slot hardcore servers which stay mostly full the majority of each day. One 16 slot defuse server that is full most of each evening into the morning.

Anything I can do to help make your experience better let me know.

My friend bought a new vidcard and loves it.  I've been intending to get back into it when I get one as well, but that seems to never actually happen.

I was on 2 Nvidia GTX 460 se's in SLi which ran BF4 on high settings with an FPS of 75-100. I now have a EVGA Nvidia GTX 970 FTW that runs all on ultra 100-130 FPS (after editing the fps limiter in the config. I think it was limited to 80?) 

I'm getting ready to put those 460's on ebay.

Not sure if serious or trolling....

 

No I am not trolling. Yes I am serious. The connection problems are there, just look at the BF4 forums and you will see. It's not just me. Yes I have the hardware to run it.

AMD FX-8350 Unlocked running at 4.5 GHz

Have you looked at the BF4 forums for any fixes for the connection issues? Describe these connections problems you are having. I genuinely want to help if I can. If you're just venting and don't want my help thats cool too. :)

This is on BF3? and BF4? How often does it happen to you? Anything else happen or just disconnect from server?

Sounds like he has a problem with his connection. TBH

I think it's more likely an issue with the browser plugin.

It happens on both and when I click reconnect then everything works fine. Like I said, the BF forums are full of this issue. Check them out and you'll see.

My feelings on Bf4 are mixed. It's been nothing but a laggy buggy mess since release date, and each patch seems to break something else.

 

But on the other hand, its still a great game, and i love the pace and feel. Just hate the being shot around corners, and high pingers obviously having some advantage.

 

If hardline is anything like Bf4, i'll just have to pass, which is surprising since I've bought every Battlefield game released.

I'm so glad I didn't shell out for BF4. I was a huge fan of BF3, but as soon as I got into the testing phase of BF4 I knew it wasn't for me. They didn't learn any of their lessons.

I'm still kinda ###### they never carried over the xbow to BF4. The "Phantom" bow is all great and dandy but IMO the xbow was way, way better. I used to troll snipers with it left and right. :D

I remember when this game came out, I actually paid full price for it which is a big thing for me as I usually go for steam sale/humblebundle games or pirate the hell out of A+ titles. I recently got BF3 with the HB and thought that BF4 was going to be great. The beta came out and it ran great, looked great and was on track to be a winner.

 

I don't know what the ###### happened but the game came out with serious issues from day 0. Not only that but after every single patch they actually created more issues (to the point where the game became unplayable on ANY SLI/Crossfire setup), the BF forums were going nuts every single day for more than 6 months after release with people complaining flat out. it was incredible how badly EA/DiCE screwed up with this game.

 

It taught me a valuable lesson to NEVER pay full price for a new game ever again and to treat EA like scum as that is what they are for ruining such a great franchise by releasing it early to compete with COD, it was my first and last game to be obtained at launch. After the patch that caused texture flickering came out, I abandoned the game and never played it again, that and also I haven't even opened Origin ever again either.

Gun Master Mode is the thing I wished they'd carried over from 3.

I kinda do and I kinda don't.  It's nice to see less of a focus on stuff the previous game already offered.  I liked Scavenger too.

 

But I can load up BF3 for that anyway.

Started playing again last month and honestly it's been pretty great, I put over 100hrs into it since then. Most of the old bugs (I was there during launch....) are fixed, no lag or rubber-banding on good servers anymore and 'no one plays' is flat out wrong, tons of full 64 player servers every time of the day for the popular maps. Check the stats on http://bf4stats.com/. Haven't had any connections issues either. Only real problem are cheaters.
