I’m wondering if people still play this game anymore. Or if there are only a few servers left like on bf3.
Thanks in advance.
Still populated. Albeit PS4 seems to be the most populated. Quick Google search will show you the stats.
I just got premium since I got tired of CS:GO. There are still a lot of populated servers. A lot of high tick ones too.
Very populated
Jumping in on this, I haven’t played since BF2. Would I be better off going Hardline as it’s newer or go base BF4 with Premium ontop.
I would say to go ahead and get BF4 with premium. They are still adding content with another map to be released any day now. Hardline is basically just BF4 reskinned with no tanks or heavily militarized vehicles.
I just got it and it can be hard to find a server with different modes, or rotation. Most are 1000 tickets conquest large, which can be boring when you want to jump in, jump out of some action. (I’m in Aus)
I’m also finding it quite buggy.
I just got it for $10. Plenty of players.
I have it for PS4 and PC and seem to play it more on my PC. My brother and all my buddies play it on PS4 so I jump on that when theyre on. If I’m on my own, I play it on my computer because of the performance settings.
Yes! If you will be playing on the PC, i highly recommend you get premium edition. There aren’t that many vanilla servers and having premium gives you access to so many servers..
Had premium for 360 but finally bought it for PC and have been playing nonstop for 3 days.
Bf4 is way more active than hardline if you’re still deciding.
The game/experience is not buggy anymore. Update your Punkbuster, for starters. Google for pbsetup.exe this is a little updater app from Even Balance.
Thanks took the plunge last night as I saw BF5 will be released November next year.
Oh yes it is. I’ve fallen through floors/ground and had sound crap out on me on multiple occasions. I’ll check out that PB update too. Thanks.
Wow. I am telling you that is not normal or even close to common at this point. I can say for sure as I have been playing again the last few weeks and it runs like a dream now and (I am still on aging 670 SLI at 1440P). Plus I see no mention of these types of problems anywhere anymore.
PBsetup won’t fix that shit but it does help with server connection issues and the like and is very helpful to be aware of.
Update some drivers perhaps? What version of Windows? Also try a “repair” on the game install just to see.
If you played BF2 you should try out Squad. Have you played the Project Reality BF2? BF4 is not at all like BF2 IMO. More like CoD mixed with BF2
Squad is made by Project Reality Developers and is very promising.
Squad is that early access game right? And it leans more on the realistic side? Not interested in that TBH. I’m not looking for something similar to BF2 just more of a statement or what the last BF I played. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Yeah it’s a mil-sim. Much walking, tactic and suppressing fire 
Not everybodies taste
Ive seen the phraise “hardline is just a 60$ expansion to bf4” and i definitely have to agree, it was fun and all, buuut bf4 is just incredible.
Plenty of players, Plenty of content, Still being updated… Why not? Also the graphics are still breathtaking at times. :3
