Battlefield 4

Yeah if customisation and UI are your two main selling points I'm not buying it

**The Despondent Mind** · October 22, 2015, 09:22 PM

I would say that how you receive your information is extremely important in a fps game, so the UI is important and way way better if you can actually customize it to your sensibilities.

Anyone still playing BF4?

**TheDarkKnight** · June 15, 2016, 03:20 PM

Probably not. I actually recently picked it up for a few bucks at Gamestop just to beat the singleplayer campaign.

Why would you throw away your money and time for that?

**TheDarkKnight** · June 23, 2016, 08:54 PM

Because I find single player games to be infinitely more enjoyable than the repetitive multiplayer

that publishers like EA and Activision keep pumping out every year with only a new coat of paint and maybe a slightly different mechanic, especially for only the cost of five bucks.

I might pick it up for a couple bucks too for the SP.

Battlefield multiplayer repetitive? And BF single player not repetitive ? Are you being serious?

CoD and Assassin's Creed's writing are Tolkien, Virginia Wolf and Dostojevsky compared to Battlefield, and the gameplay... dear god....

Do you really care that much about how I spent my money? It was an enjoyable campaign where I can just turn my brain off and kill endless waves of NPCs.

At least I had the good sense to wait until it was five dollars and not preorder it and all its DLC for 90+

All right...

I finally had the chance to play Battlefield 4 properly. I made an update to my video drivers, cleaned out some useless software and somehow the laptop fan turned into overdrive, keeping my laptop nowadays cool at all times.

In essence, it runs relatively smoothly, on low-to-mid settings, but it's decent enough to make it playable and somewhat enjoyable. What I'm really liking so far is the fact that the customisation levels are absolutely massive and that's really really impressive. Some maps are a lot of fun, some remind you of BF3 battles, but that's not a bad thing. BF3 is one of my favourite games in fact. Multiplayer is a blast - and customisation is awesome - and so far yeah, big thumbs up.

I'm a bit late to the party but it took some 2016 drivers to make the game work for me at least decently.

That being said, I do prefer the BF3 campaign.

(It also helped that all BF4 DLC were free to add to your library this weekend!

Battlefield 4 is a really great game, and I find it extremely enjoyable in short bursts. It runs really well too, not anything like release. They are moving on to BF1, though. I've heard a lot of servers are apparently shutting down. I still play it every couple months for a bit until I get burnt out. Recently started playing it a bit again since all the DLC are free.

**Basileos Leandros I** · September 22, 2016, 12:51 PM

PC is always full, so that's not a problem at least not for the moment. A lot of people are playing BF4 in anticipation of BF1.

I don't reckon its worth making a new thread just for this, so may as well revive this thread.

The "They Shall Not Pass" DLC for Battlefield 1 is free if you pick it up in the next two weeks.
