Have most if not all the bugs been ironed out? Are there still massive connection issues and buggy gameplay?
Xbox 360 AUS.
I just got it on the PC in EU, and there are no servers in my country (Denmark)
Whatever other server I join, I get booted from it within 5 minutes due to high ping, even the ones from Germany, Sweden and other countries nearby. Simply put - there is no game to be played.
Sometimes the ping limit is absurd.
I understand that I play using a mobile connection and my ping is never going to be awesome but kicking me because I’m over 80ms or 70ms is ridiculous.
Or the servers that kicks you without even a warning, because in your perfect utopian world lag spikes don’t exist…
I have it for the ps3 and I swear the more they patch it, the uglier it becomes. I feel completely ripped off by the buggy, ugly game. I enjoy playing it so much, but it isn’t what it is suppose to be.

That’s really all you have to say the rest is occasional issue you may have that you are probably now blaming entirely on EA.. bad connection FUCK EA!
Well enjoyment aside, I still think the current gen got screwed when this game dropped. Also this is an opinion, which is what op asked for.
We bought it yesterday regardless, I’m a little disappointed. It feels much more like modern warfare 2 than battlefield. The guns are heavier, maps are more condensed, every bullet seems to explode when it hits something, the vehicles have been made idiot proof and texture popping has gotten out of control.
I know they still have some work to do on the game but I feel like they’ve lost the scale and feel of battlefield. I’m enjoying it none the less but it doesn’t feel like BF3 or BC2.
I don’t understand this at all. The infantry mechanics feel weighty in the same way that BC2 did, which is the opposite of how it was in BF3 where you felt like a floating camera with a gun strapped to it. The gun play is also clunky because it ISN’T CALL OF DUTY. You’re not supposed to be running around quick scoping people or being a bad ass marksman… you’re there to PTFO.
Z Fighting issues do exist, but they’re dealing with huge sight lines and a lot of tricky LOD issues. :\
It’s worth buying if you can get a good deal on it. GMG usually has a promo code floating around good for 15-20 percent off. They also ran it half price recently on the Origin store.
The game is a little buggy, admittedly, but it’s been well patched and it’s essentially fine now for me and everyone I play with. The game is great fun, especially the Obliteration game mode.
It feels foreign, I believe there was no seamless transition in gameplay between bf3 and bf4. I personally don’t like it for my own reasons, I don’t like COD and this is what it feels like. You can hardly customize the controls, they’ve completely changed them from bf3 and changed the way all vehicle handle, they feel sluggish and arcade like.
The gameplay feels forced, like you can only play a level a couple of ways, even though the destruction is improved it still feels like the levels funnel you. The HUD changes seem a bit excessive to me, the objectives completely flood the screen making it hard to see enemy soldiers. .
I didn’t notice significamnt HUD changes, but I do enjoy the HUD in 4 over 3… you’re right about the info dump, though.
The markers for MCOMs/Flags need to be smaller… they shouldn’t be able to completely cover an enemy soldier only ten feet from you!
I got it a week or two ago on PC. The multiplayer has been good so far save for the occasional audio glitch (it has only happened once or twice)
The campaign was buggy as shit for me though. So there’s that. It’s not unplayable but I did have to reload saves quite a few times, sometimes I fell through the level or the objectives weren’t loading… But its mostly a multiplayer game anyway I guess.
