It seems there is a common misconception that BF4 is still a mess and unplayable, and that's only true if you have a 360 or PS3 (or so I've heard)

join the current-gen master race you peasants

. For the other systems i'd say 90% of the bugs have been fixed and there's no more lag.

If you're on PS4, Xbone, or PC, this game is most definitely playable now and IMO the MP game of the year. So yeah, go out and buy it and bask in all its incredible battlefield glory.

It's finally going gold after the beta testing went so well.

Well done Dice.

Illusive_Juan · Jul 11, 2014

The question is: Can I safely play campaign on Xbox One with it erasing my progress? I replayed the opening level 5 times and never got further than the third stage.

Moaradin · Jul 11, 2014

I haven't had major issues with BF4 on PC for like 6 months.

VisceralBowl · Jul 11, 2014

The PC version has been just fine for a while now.

CTE > Base Game

Outside of netcode issues the game has never had problems for me. Never even encountered rubber banding.

Fracas · Jul 11, 2014

Maybe it's not but 9 months later, I've lost interest in finding out.

Piggus · Jul 12, 2014

I haven't had any major issues apart from some weird audio bug (only on a couple different servers) and occasional rubber banding for a really long time. I think a lot of the issues were overblown in the last three or four months.

Mass Effect · Jul 12, 2014

BF4 hasn't been broken for a while now. But I no longer care to play it anymore. Too little too late.

Asgaro · Jul 12, 2014

I believe you, but I'm still waiting till this game drops to around 15.

(I'm on PC so should be possible in a few months.)

Thread over.

UnforgivenTwin · Jul 12, 2014

Well with the new patch I am still encountering lots of rubber banding. Especially on hanai resort. And when part of the hotel falls apart, forget it. The game slows to a crawl. So it is still broken.

Conflict NZ · Jul 12, 2014

My loadouts reset every other game. I have 100mbps fibre and still get rubber banding, black screens and crashes after games. It's still a broken fucking mess.

Lord of Castamere · Jul 12, 2014

Netcode is still shit, and the servers are really iffy, but yeah the big problems are fixed.
It's perfectly playable and has been since the rubber-banding was fixed.
It is a great game.

One thing that almost never happens and lasts 1 minute. Just stop you look foolish.

Cow Goes Moo · Jul 12, 2014

I'd rather play garden warfare

Ardenyal · Jul 12, 2014

The maps are still worse than any other battlefield.

I just borrowed this game from the library and it still has some lag but it's not as bad as before. Unfortunately, they forgot to patch fun into the game so it only stayed on my hard-drive for ~5 multiplayer matches.

SniperHunter · Jul 12, 2014

Got bored of it after 150 hours. Gonna take a long break from Battlefield now.

Linkark07 · Jul 12, 2014

Still waiting for the game and all the DLCs to be $20 or less.

FleetFeet · Jul 12, 2014

I'm not going to waste my time with the single player portion unless it has been confirmed to be fixed.

Does anyone have updates regarding that game breaking bug?

The timing is curious though... since double xp weekend is upon us and all.

Ryouji Gunblade · Jul 12, 2014

Are the Attack Choppers still unsafe to fly?

The Goat · Jul 12, 2014

Was never broken, for me at least, on PC. Now get rid of PunkBuster, and I will come back to the BF fold.

TimeEffect · Jul 12, 2014

Yeah well I sold it.

Calmine · Jul 12, 2014

Well that's nice. I even got an email thanking me for taking part in the beta...or was that for Hardline hmmm

Not even close. Most of the base maps were pretty good. Huge step up from BF3.

epmode · Jul 12, 2014

Battlefield 4 was too innovative for my taste. Maybe next year.

Jomjom · Jul 12, 2014

Who even cares anymore? This game is so damn old. Not that I would know or agree, but even if it's fixed, it's so damn late.

I would hope every game would be fixed by the time it's been out 9 months.

Which year?
The year it released?
The year after?
Isn't there a new Battlefield due out soon?

ArtificialIntelligence · Jul 12, 2014

I can't even play the SP on PC. How is that possible, it's still in BETA!!!

TheCloser · Jul 12, 2014

Moaradin said:

Nope, the maps are still pretty bad and the game is more boring than bf3. I didn't think that was possible. I'm afraid that dice are going to ruin battlefront. It's like they forgot how to make hood games.

JCV · Jul 12, 2014

gee that was one long beta test

3DShovel · Jul 12, 2014

Honestly, I haven't had any major issues on PS4 ever since they actually got 64-player Conquest going, and that was like... A week or two after launch...

Did I miss something?

HF2014 · Jul 12, 2014

BF3 was broken and was having major input lag issue for about a year and a half after it got finally fixed.

BF4 got his problems and that push me away from the serie.

IF they think one second i will gave them another chance with Battlefield Hardline, they can put them self a finger in the eyes. There is no way i will trust EA on doing a Battlefield game.

too bad this didnt happen 5 months ago when I traded it in.

I fear for battlefront

Overdoziz · Jul 12, 2014

Now we just need to wait another half year until they've balanced everything properly.

Kade · Jul 12, 2014

For a while now.

Cizeta-Moroder · Jul 12, 2014

DICE doesn't care about balance. If they did they wouldn't inject OP DLC weapons in every single DLC Expansion. They did it in Bf3 and they're still doing it in BF4.

Any time someone tells me to go out and buy something on gaf, the answer is yes. You don't need to say that if you are good at telling us why something is good.

Don't waste your time with it, period. I think it's definitely worse than BF3 and that's saying something.

My problems with the multiplayer are with the design, not something they could/would ever fix.

It was on sale for $20 last December on Origin. That's when I bought it

Same. Everyone on GAF is capable of articulating and justifying their excellent taste.

What? These maps are far better then the base maps for 3 and far better than anything in the BC games.

Log4Girlz · Jul 12, 2014

That was quick.

Balance? In a Battlefield game? Personally, I can't wait for Dragon's Teeth to break everything until DICE nerfs the new toys.

edit: Wait, they put guns on the EOD bot? Oh my sweet lord, please tell me that they're adding it to Meat Locker and Meatro.
