it is the most fun ive had since bf2. straight up fun! so far the maps have been balanced and well thought out. plenty of opportunity to get your opponents off guard. the only real bugs ive seen is the sound on golmud railway and lancang dam. had some server side lag on some servers. wasnt so much that it was a problem, didnt affect game play other than cosmetics to be completely honest.

i played bf3 for the first time about a month ago and now ive got bf4 to compare it to and let me tell you, bf4 destroys bf3 in pretty much every aspect. bf4 is just 10x more fun just for the maps. we have some classics in the making men.

I didn't have many problems with BF3, but I have to say, I'm enjoying BF4 a lot more. Feels a lot smoother and the naval aspect of the game actually works well - it doesn't feel like a last minute bolt-on, like I thought it would.

However, I'm not a fan of the vehicle and weapon customisation. It just seems so much more long winded compared to BF3. Also, I HATE how some of the vehicles take a lot of rockets to destroy...3 LAW's to kill a FAV and an inflatable boat ffs? I've even hit an FAV with a TOW missile, and only got vehicle hit points Even 2 LGM's from the jets don't destroy tanks or mobile AA.

By FAV, are you referring to the MRAP's or the buggies?

I don't mind that for tanks. I know it isn't so realistic, but when the other side has a dominant pilot shredding everything up the battle can get kind of lopsided and frustrating. Nothing worse than driving a tank and getting 50 meters out of your base only to be destroyed by a jet. AA I'm not so worried about because at least it can attack the jet back.

AA is WAAAAY OP when you factor in the long flare/ECM reload and lack of 'Below Radar.'  I can fly my attack chopped right on the deck and try to find a place to hide, but that AA missile always finds its way before the flares reload.  Worse yet, getting hit with an AA missile tend to flip me almost every time.

I wouldn't complain so much if the AC weapons actually did some damage when I did make it out on the battlefield, but they don't.  Two barrages of Hydra or Zuni rockets to disable a tank.  Good luck being able to finish him off without being scared away by AA or chewed up by a mounted 50 cal or HMG.  The guided rockets are a bust, so i've taken to swapping out heatseekers for the twin TOW missiles.  They don't always work, but they sure sound badass when launching!

You didn't see all that coming?

Buggies...I still use BF2's acronyms without even thinking

When you are in the jet, 1 pass and 2 missiles which then take what, a minute to reload is just no fun. Ground based AT is just as effective, so whats the point of jets given their longer reload and re-spawning time? Yes, you can gun-run to finish it off, but perhaps I'm just a BF2 bomber-jet-whore at heart and long for those days back again
Granted, when you are in the tank, it is quite relieving. But with the power of mobile AA, and every foot soldier given a choice of portable AA, jets just seem unnecessarily weak to me.

I like the AA as it is, its actually doing what its supposed to be doing, plus its funny to see people nut off at you on lancang or zavod for killing them over and over.  I get the impression that a lot of pilots complaining just don't know how use the air assets properly.  The purpose of AA is to make sure you can't just fly round low & slow racking up lazy kills like you could in BF2.  If you know how to fly & use cover, air is very effective.

I do think there are too many homing missiles though, both for air and armour.

This game is shit, dont buy it

Tanks.  APCs.  Jihad jeep (C4+jeep).  SRAW.  Commander missiles.  Theres five good ones.

It is a little silly when it can sit in its uncap and fire accurately across the map, and have active radar missiles which can be fired all the way across the map into the enemy spawn and not give any lock on warning until they're a second out. Can't say I love that.

I can use cover and keep moving, but thanks for the tips anyway m8.

Active missiles can be fired straight over/around cover and still hit the target, some maps have very little cover for helicopters and you can be hit by two active missiles at the beginning of a round before you've even fully taken off. Not to mention that you are then disabled and are a sitting duck for the next 2 active missiles that can be fired instantly after.

I think active missiles are a bad addition to the game. That's it.

What a frustrating piece of shit this game is.  The spawnpoints are worse than CoD and the you pretty much can't join a conquest game where the teams aren't stacked.

Glad I didn't buy it.

I cry at night thinking there will never be another good BF game
