Battlefield 4 (2013 Video Game)
1/10
Rushed and broken product!!
16 January 2014
It's been 2 months now and things just keep getting worse with each update. Don't believe me? Go check the Battlefield/Battlelog forums yourself. Hundreds, if not thousands of posts with problems and people wanting their money back.

I bought the PS3 copy and got the digital upgrade for PS4. PS3 isn't so bad with problems, but the PS4 has ton of issues. On both, people are losing their campaign save file. Yup, turn on your console the next morning and you have to start all over again! Only thing you can to prevent this is to save your save file to a USB drive. Rubberbanding/lag issues to were you walk a couple feet and stop, a couple more feet and stop. Which got worse after the Jan.14th patch, of which, was one of the things that was supposed to fixed with THAT patch. Doesn't matter if you have an awesome internet connection either. Sounds not being there when you start a map, and after the Jan.14th patch, when the building in Shanghai collapsed my sound died and got majorly choppy to where I had to shut off my PS4 to get normal sound back. And it isn't the PS4, because I also have CoD: Ghosts & Killzone and those two run PERFECT. I didn't renew my PS+ for a couple of weeks just waiting for it to be fixed, nope.

And for some insane reason they made the controls on PS3 different to PS4. R1 or L1 for fire on PS3 and R2 or L2 for fire on PS4. Really annoying when you switch from one system to the other to play with your friends that haven't got a PS4 yet. Call of Duty: Ghosts did both versions the same, why couldn't Battlefield?!? And once again, they give you a map pack with pre-orders, just like they did with Battlefield 3. Well, if you end up getting "premium", you end up paying for that map pack anyway, no discount on premium for already owning one of the map packs, weak. I had bought premium on PS4 and it said it was downloadable to PS3 as well...NOPE. Had to call up Playstation and get a refund and re-buy it on the PS3 for it to be transferable to PS4.

I was a fan of Battlefield for a long time, played: 1942, 1943, #1, #2, Bad Company 1 & 2......but after how POORLY #4 has been, I will NOT be buying Battlefield 5.

edit: a year later and STILL issues, 13 updates later and still broken! They fix a few things and break a few with each update. The most recent massive/fall update, well, now you have to jump over every damn pebble and curb, stuff that anyone should just be able to walk over. Taking 3-4 times jumps to jump over a handrail! Remember when game used to come complete & finished, maybe ONE update? Seems the gaming industry has forgotten and rushes games out now for the holidays and MONEY and with the thought that "hey, we can just fix it with updates later!". So wait on buying games, don't pre-order like sheep and hand over your money blindly, make them go back to decent standards!
