I just got BF4, and I was wondering if the game will still be really enjoyable without getting DLCs. If not, what is the best DLC to get?

I played a ton of bf3 with only Back to Karkan (because it was included for early buyers) dlc for two years with no problems. You’ll be fine. If you do decide to I think you may as well go premium. Give the base game a month or two before you decide. Really no rush. Plus by that time the dlc will feel refreshing.

Naval strike (I love all the maps) and second assault (for caspian border / operation metro). That’s all the stuff I recommend. Everything is else is just really bland IMO. Not sure on a release date for the next DLC.

If you have 50$ its more than worth it to get premium. You get all the DLC plus some other cool shit. But if you only have 15$ go with NS.

Ok, if you really want to make Bf4 a bit more fun, then get premium, not just single DLC’s. Mainly because if you buy one, you will say ‘Oh I should have got that one’  
So Bf4 is enjoyable without it, but I would say best s Naval Strike. But try get them all!

IMO (not others’ opinions here): Guillin Peaks is really the only fun map from CR. Second assault is suprisingly bad, BF3 was better. XM25 makes metro a whole lot less fun. Naval strike is awesome.
