How active is bf4 on the ps4?
There are a lot of active severs but only conquest or rush and mostly original maps. But still fun and worth it. If you want the best experience I would just play on pc they have the most acive servers. Add me and maybe we can play ( Howardmoon900 )
Actually as of last week the PS4 has the most active servers with around 32k and pc running around 19k.
Plenty of action. Unfortunately almost everyone is significantly better at all aspects of the game than me.
Do you think this will change with their next release? More “casual” and “noob” players?
I want to start playing battlefield instead of cod this year, but it is such a steep learning curve and the competition just stomps all noobs like me. I am solid at cod, but haven’t been able to gain much skill in bf4 because all the active players are so good. I wish there was a least somewhere to play against bots and gain a little confidence with the maps prior to taking myself online.
Conquest on the CQB maps is always full
Not sure. No matter what server I go on I have mostly down days. I came from black ops 2, which I smashed but put in almost as many hours as this. The emphasis on this is all down to teamwork, I like playing medic on locker for instance. If you get a good squad it’s enjoyable. If you try and go alone it fails. Nobody hardly has a headset on ps4 either. The learning curve is steep, but I’m level 80 and it’s getting harder and harder!
COD is more of a solo game – where reflexes and map knowledge rules. BF4 is about the squad and flanking. Bullets in COD are instant, whereas bullets in BF4 not only drop, they actually have to travel to their destination – making sniping a different kind of (largely ineffective, not team friendly – unless you are awesome) beast. Stick with your teammates and PTFO (play the fine objective), you’ll do fine. To put it in perspective points wise: a kill = 100 points. A capture, called out by squad leader and commander is 800 points. Kills in the area of the capture points are granted a multiplier as well.
Use the server browser to find servers, and remember BF4 is a squad/team game. In most modes it’s the objective you need to focus on, combat is secondary. I think of it like this: The best mission would be one where no bullets are fired. I’ve acheived #1 player, and ace squad, winning team with horrible (1:10 KDR) combat reslults - because I focused on the squads needs, and PTFO.
Is that even fun though? That sounds like more work than actual, ya know, shooting and stuff.
IMHO it’s awesome fun. Think of whack-a-mole (head pops up – knock it down with a little hammer).That’s fun, simple, and frenzied. That’s COD. Not knocking COD - it’s a great twitchy shooter. It’s massive sales do not lie.
Now, imagine a game where some moles can only be hurt with a red hammer, and others with a blue hammer. And, you use a team mixed with both red and blue hammers. If the team keeps the mole heads supressed for long enough, a button becomes pressable that grants every one playing some points. It would be beneficial to have someone watching to see if that button pops up, while carying a secondary duty to try to whack moles. That’s BF4. It’s large userbase 2.5 years after release doesn’t lie either.
I think there should be a balance between the two.
I don’t necessarily want to sprint around a tiny map shooting anything that moves.
But it’s not really run to walk around gigantic maps taking unoccupied bases in order to gain imaginary points.
I just wish there was a middle balance.
The ps4 has loads, I played it today and there’s seemingly no end to the amount of active servers!
You could try csgo. Has teamwork, though you can also play solo without helping team. Rewards accuracy and reflexes.
I couldn’t agree more. When there is a balance (it happens sometimes), and the plans come together (or fall apart) – it’s super fun. I’m embarrassed to quote marketing material, but it’s fitting: “Battlefield moments” that make it really fun.
Wow that’s impressive for an oldish game.
Is it because it’s that good or because hardline and battlefront areas that bad?
Edit : or both?
It’s because there was a sale and BF4 was at 11 bucks…
PC Broke so i started playing on PS4 more, add me if you like @Aecrelis. Ill go out and get a new ps4 mic soon 
I have a headset and will talk to you haha. It does get annoying that no one in squad communicates
You in the UK?
Started playing again recently, was pleasantly surprised the game is very active. Add me Sinergie88. I play pretty often.
