$40 on Amazon. Big battlefield fan but have avoided 4 because of all the problems, but I’m itching for a shooter with a big population not named ghosts.
Have enough of the problems been sorted out to justify the purchase or is it still a buggy mess?
I don’t understand why people bitch so much about battlefield 4. I bought battlefield 4 premium and even though it was expensive I still enjoyed the game. Even though it was buggy and there were a lot of problems I loved way the community got together and improved little by little. Every game has flaws and some has more but I still think battlefield 4 is a great fps. I tried playing battlefield 3 again, it had good mechanics but overall game play and graphics, I preferred 4.
BF4 is a great game, def worth the money. That said, IMHO, Titanfall is better.
No xb1 and limited access to my desktop = ps4 only 
I have the ps3 version and I get a lot of freezes where I have to shut down my system. Rush and Obliteration are unplayable as I can only play a match for about 10 minutes before it freezes. All other game modes are fine though and might only get a freeze every other hour.
You have a PS4 though and I’m pretty sure I read that the PS4 version is more reliable than PS3.
But all in all even with the freezes I’m still playing. It’s definitely a great game (though frustrating when it freezes at the end of a match and It doesn’t save the stats.)
Worth it.
EDIT: anyone have any ideas on a fix for the freezing? I disabled the media server (read somewhere that might help.) it seemed to help with not freezing conquest but as I said before; rush and obliteration are unplayable. :‘(’
Definitely buy it now, its pretty fixed
The amount of time it has taken for the game to get to the current state is ridiculous. That said, I believe the game is, for the most part, fixed and worth the money.
Well it’s time for you to get a new console. To be honest consoles are the main reason that’s holding back the games. Battlefield 4 could have had more features and better gameplay/graphics if it wasn’t for the old consoles. Old consoles will have problems running the game. I set my PC to budget of 600 and because of the small RAM it freezes sometimes but the game is pretty damn smooth
I agree that it is time for a new console. Sadly, I won’t be able to afford one for a couple more months unless I trade my ps3 in towards one. Only problem with that is I’m looking forward to the new Borderlands so that’s out of the question.
I’ll just deal with it for now and play smaller game modes as they tend to run smooth still. Thanks for the reply!
Exactly what I wanted to hear, thank you
If you’re buying for a PC or next-gen system, I’d say this is a good time to buy. The worst of the bugs and glitches have been tamed (not not quite eliminated), and even then, the game was still worth playing.
Still needs works, minor rubber banding still gappens
I just picked the game back up after a couple of months, after hearing that the issues had been fixed. Great! I set the Network smoothing option, update origin, and jump into a game with 16 Ping. I wasn’t that surprised that I was rubberbanding like crazy, and the game was still an unplayable mess!
Four hours of sever hopping later, I was ready to uninstall Battlefield 4.
So from my personal experience, having played since release and giving up on the game out of pure frustration more than once, I would say avoid it. You’re better off waiting for Hardline to be released now anyway, considering how much you would have to pay for the game plus premium/DLC.
I realize that this is not everyone’s experience, some have been able to play fine from day 1, and some have struggled through endless problems to get the game to a playable state. But if you get unlucky, the game will never work properly for you, and that’s just something they expect us to accept.
