How does Battlefield 4 compare to Battlefield 2, ARMA series, and other realism milsim games? Is BF4 more like Call of Duty?

I used to play Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, and Battlefield 2, because when those games were out they were quite ground breaking and offered the most realistic and fun open-world milsim combat.

In my humble estimation, Call of Duty is the arcade version of that. I’ve seen gameplay of some COD title or another, and tried to play Bad Company 3 which struck me as another fast running, arcade style, spawn and talk shit with teenagers piece of fluff.

What’s Battlefield 4 really like?

It would be wrong to say that bf4 isn’t more of the same shoot-em-up action, because the majority of the maps and game modes are designed to encourage that.

However bf4 also offers larger games maps, mostly in conquest game mode which offers multiple vehicles and paths around the map which offers game play much in line with bf 1942.

Not quite the silliness of CoD, but it’s pretty silly. I’m not sure there’s a decent way of making a BattlefieldIf you’re looking for realism, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Project Reality or ARMA.

It is worst BF ever IMO. And I played all from 1942.

the most “realistic” bf is still bf3

right on. I’ve been playing ARMA 3 since it’s official release and I’m blown away, but I see videos of Battlefield 4 that look incredible. Plain vanilla ARMA 3 is pretty basic in terms of variety and knock-out spectacle.

I need to know how you’ve played bad company 3 already. Are you from the future?

oh, thanks for pointing that out. it was BF: BC2

Can you elaborate on why you think it’s the worst?

Vehicle balance, design of the maps, weapons are too equal, smart weapons do not make sense, ranking system, progress system

and add all technical problems to that and you have one very bad product

My go-to is 64 player hardcore conquest large, and it certainly is evocative of BF2 in some ways in that scenario. The shooting is certainly tighter though.

What do you mean by the smart weapons?

basically weapons and gadgets that do not require any skill or effort whatsoever: mbt law, active radar, airburst, Active protection

I think that ruined the game and made it too noob friendly

Active protection is bullshit, I know there is a real thing but it only protects against things like rpgs not a 30mm burst from an a10.

Its now my primary fps on ps4. Def not anything like cod. I think its the most realistic bf so far. Mounted guns are UP tho.
