Battlefield 4™

One of my favourite games from 2013. I played the crack version back in my childhood but wanted to play the legit one. Finally got it in sale after all the years in 2025. I am so happy to have this game in my library. I will keep enjoying the game <3

Wait to install game Boot game Stuck loading Troubleshoot for an hour Get into game Servers are full or empty Wait to get into server Get kicked by Punkbuster Troubleshoot for another 30 minutes Try again Wait to get into server Get kicked by Punkbuster again This game actually might be kinda cool if you were allowed to play it. Too bad they forgot a key component of game design: being able to play the game Very unfortunate, the five or so minutes I actually spent in a match seemed kind of exciting. Too bad this is a fake product. Not even worth the price of a McChicken....

It's the kind of game where your most brilliant tactical maneuver is usually followed five seconds later by being unexpectedly flattened by an unmanned enemy jeep someone bailed out of at 100mph

It is a good game, although I don't play it as much. There is mostly nothing wrong with the gameplay or the community, I'd recommend it. But not for the full price, just wait for it to be in sale again

Great game, best battlefield! EA make more battlefields like this.

Hoping to not get kicked by Punkbuster is similar to me hoping my dad will finally come back with the gallon jug of milk he promised to pick up.

EA games is a terrible company who will ban you at the drop of a hat with no option to appeal. Avoid EA and all their products like the bubonic plague.

this game is fun but sadly it would crash my PC even after i did a Driver Update I played the game on low settings and it would still have a Problem this would happen just after my 2 hour playtime. I suggest you look to see if the game is able to be on most PCs since my PC is able to play most games without a Problem.

Multiplayer is impossible to play with this shitty punkbuster antivirus. fix your games EA.

Jackass game cant play because punk-buster dint work and kick me for no reason they need to get their shit together would be a cool game if it would work.

truly amazing classic. impressive sense of scale. VERY detailed environments, yet long-ranges as well. Tons of weapons in each category. Many types of vehicles. The expansions add amazing maps.

patriotism does not come from home. it comes from shooting every other red outlined enemy troop you see, from shooting down tanks using planes, only to be brought down by a javelin missile. you want chaos in life, you get it 9/10

Its a fun shooter that might not be the best BF game but is overall a nice exp with an exceptional campaign. P.S: hot take BF1 & BF4 might be the best BF games in the series!

This game was amazing when it first came out! Seeing it on sale for only $2.50 aud i thought why not. now i see why. Thanks to punkbuster I am kicked within 5 minutes of any game... for only $2.50 I will happily play the campaign but be warned if you are buying this for multiplayer.... probably not for you sadly..

A dumb installer that doesn't save your login, gives you 4 different EA apps, dead servers, and a bugged anti-cheat? All for 40 dollars off sale? What a steal!

Can't play the game because their Shitty Anti-Cheat, "Punk Buster" keeps kicking me. Trying to install the "Punk Buster" .exe file separately to play the game is like being stabbed again over and over. Thanks EA!

i can't play this game 'cause the anti cheat finish my gameplay saying i'm using hilicite program, do not recomend

Not great story campaign , but still enjoyable

fun game, tho the AI team in the campain has the intelegence of a moldy potatoe and shoots paper bullets unless u instrukt them and even then dont do shit also campain is like michal bays feverdream lol pick it up on sale ffor 2 bucks

Its amazing dont get me wrong but alot of bugs, one where you cant swim you have to click esc then it lets you for a short while.

Playing this game 11 years late. Feels like I've been standing my whole life and just sat down.

Battlefield 4 is a game that perfectly illustrates the difference between how a game launches and how it’s remembered. Released with technical issues and player frustration, it could have easily become a cautionary tale. But thanks to persistent support and a rock-solid foundation, BF4 evolved into one of the most refined, feature-rich, and dynamic multiplayer shooters of its generation. Let’s address the weakest link first: the campaign. Like its predecessor, Battlefield 4’s single-player mode tries hard to replicate the cinematic spectacle of modern military dramas—but lacks meaningful characters or stakes. You play as Sgt. Recker, leading a squad called "Tombstone" through a series of global conflicts. The plot attempts to tackle U.S.-China tensions with a side of betrayal and heroism, but it feels like it’s there mostly to show off the engine’s visual power. While a step up in polish from BF3, it never feels essential. Still, it does deliver some impressive set pieces—collapsing buildings, aircraft carriers on fire, and massive shootouts—but the gameplay is linear and lacks the sandbox flair that defines Battlefield’s identity. Where Battlefield 4 shines—and shines bright—is in its multiplayer. This is Battlefield’s core fantasy fully realized: massive combined-arms warfare where infantry, tanks, helicopters, jets, and boats all converge in beautiful, deadly harmony. Key strengths: -Levolution: The centerpiece mechanic that allows environments to change mid-match—skyscrapers collapsing, floodgates opening, ships beaching into maps—offered not just spectacle but gameplay-altering consequences. -Map variety: From urban combat in Siege of Shanghai, to wide-open vehicle warfare in Golmud Railway, to vertical chaos in Zavod 311—each map offered a distinct playstyle. -Classes: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon return with a refined balance. The loadout options are massive, with dozens of guns, attachments, gadgets, and perks allowing deep customization. -Commander Mode: A returning feature from Battlefield 2, allowing one player to oversee the battlefield with a tactical view—issuing orders, dropping supplies, and calling missile strikes. -Vehicle mastery: BF4 offers arguably the most satisfying vehicle combat in the series. Jets feel responsive, tanks are balanced, and helicopters require skill but reward precision. Let’s not sugarcoat it: Battlefield 4 had a disastrous launch. Crashes, rubber-banding, netcode problems, broken hit detection—it was, frankly, a mess. For months, even hardcore fans struggled to enjoy the game consistently. But DICE didn’t walk away. Through patches, updates, community feedback, and eventually the Community Test Environment (CTE), the developers turned Battlefield 4 into a model of post-launch support. By the end of its lifecycle, it was arguably the most stable and balanced Battlefield title ever released. BF4’s premium content delivered serious value with five DLCs: -China Rising: Introduced new vehicles, maps, and an airborne focus. -Second Assault: Revamped classics from Battlefield 3. -Naval Strike: Focused on aquatic combat with thrilling island maps. -Dragon’s Teeth: Urban infantry chaos at its finest. -Final Stand: Hinted at a near-future tech war with snow-based maps and prototype weapons. Each expansion added content without feeling gimmicky, offering fresh gameplay and extending the game’s life well into the next generation of shooters. Even today, Battlefield 4 holds up visually. Destructible buildings, dynamic weather, water physics, and particle effects—all powered by Frostbite 3—still impress. But it’s the sound design that seals the deal. From the thunder of distant artillery to the crackle of suppressed gunfire in a hallway, BF4 makes war feel deafening and immediate. Battlefield 4 is the ultimate redemption arc in modern gaming. What began as a buggy mess transformed into one of the most complete, satisfying Battlefield experiences ever made. While the campaign won’t leave a lasting impression, its multiplayer is a masterclass in scale, variety, and depth. If you love large-scale strategy, vehicle warfare, and emergent chaos, there’s still nothing quite like it—even a decade later. Pros: -Vast, thrilling multiplayer sandbox -Incredible post-launch support -Dynamic maps with “Levolution” -Deep weapon and class customization -Vehicle combat at its finest Cons: -Weak, generic campaign -Rough launch hurt early reputation Rating: 8/10

It's 2025, I don't recommended it. Single Player campaign has the worst plot and character arc I ever seen in my entire life. Multiplayer 4/8 servers I palyed have hackers. It just lost it's popularity over the years, and I just don't find it enjoyable anymore.

"A cinematic experience with epic action – 10/10!" Battlefield 4 delivers a campaign that feels very different from Battlefield 3 – and in a good way. It’s like playing through a high-quality action movie, packed with great graphics, intense combat, and a gripping story centered on a conflict between the United States and China, with a third nation adding even more tension. The gameplay is immersive and dynamic, featuring a wide variety of weapons, large-scale battles, armored vehicles, and a lot of destruction that keeps you hooked from start to finish. I was genuinely impressed by everything the game offers. As for the multiplayer – it's easily 10 times better than Battlefield 3. There are plenty of active servers, and the game modes are varied and exciting. Whether you're into close-quarters infantry combat, tank warfare, or aerial dogfights in jets and helicopters, there's something for every type of player. Customization of classes and weapons also adds a deep strategic layer. All in all, a beautiful 10/10. A must-play for any FPS fan!

It was good for a long time, but it's a broken game that won't ever be fixed and is overrun by hackers. The icing on the top is the fact that Punkbuster (the Anti-Cheat system) will kick you out of a server. As far as Battlefield 4, I believe that the campaign is the only thing worth playing. matchmaking in different modes are always dead and will not find a game, whilst public servers are full of hackers and the Anti-Cheat system kicking you. It's quite ironic that the Anti-Cheat system kicks players that aren't hacking, and not the hackers.

Review: The game has potential, but currently it's quite average due to several bugs and performance issues. I'm running it on a Ryzen 5 5500H with 8GB RAM and an RTX 2050 (4GB), and it still lags frequently. There are also a lot of glitches that affect the overall experience. If the developers fix these issues, this could be a really great game. But as of now, it needs a lot of improvement. Peace out

bad campaign. do not get it. buggy as hell and the campaign is so annoying to get through as enemy just spawn outta thin air.

Ni bien entro a una partida o me expulsa el admin o el punkbuster y no llevo nada totalmente limpio ni 5 minutos en un server la verdad que comunidad injusta

There's not a single Call of Duty that even comes close to how good Battlefield is.

i first played this game when i was 6, i am 17 now and this game is still a masterpiece. R-I-P Michael Kenneth Wiliams aka irish and R-I-P Kjell Reutersward you both will be forever in our hearts.

Although some parts of the game is frustrating. I would still recommend this game, it looked way ahead of its time. The only thing I don't really admire is the storyline, its not as fun as what i thought it would be but overall, its fun.

its good game but i keep getting kicked out by punkbuster which is the engine, idk why and how

Good game but so many bugs and glitches are irritating as hell:( My Rating:6.5/10

Revisiting Battlefield 4 on a fresh EA account, didn't realize how short the campaign felt but I still had fun. The online though feels very very different, few players compared to 2-3 years ago and those who are online are simply too good, bunny hopping around and just laying you out. Online pvp is very different compared to back then and I barely play it due to PunkBuster randomly kicking me from games after a few minutes. Overall I'd say it wasn't bad for $1.99

Game is trash, you cant event play it because you get kicked by punkbuster spyware. Game comes unplayable, you need to install more crap to make it work.

Still plenty of populated European servers in 2025. Lots of very strong players but still playable because of this game's stronger focus on team play. Having to unlock equipment and guns from zero is annoying but is somewhat offset by the mountain of boosters you get. Sometimes goes on sale for 1.75 dollars so get it then.

With a credits this long I would expect: -Campaign not held together by ducktape; -fixed bugs (I despise the swimming segment); -Fun gameplay and gunplay (It's easily the best part of this) it costs 2$ most of the time, so I mean it's alright

No amount of trouble shooting corrects Punkbuster's poor programming from kicking you from the game.

just starting out, but can tell it's going to be the best shooter game I'v ever played. 9 out of 10. Buy now on sale and gift it to your friends. Will say that the Punkbuster game kicking is a bit annoying but it's only happened 2 out of the 10 games I've played.

battlefield is the only good mainstream shooter because it lets you do funny action movie type shit and this is the best version because it lets you put a 3x scope on a pistol

This was way better then 3 in every terms , i can imagine how much people would've enjoyed this game at launch.... Story was way better than what i initially expected the story would be.... Graphics , Better then so called some AAA games... Multiplayer was good but their are few servers that is full of players, but the only issue in online was ping it never goes less 300 ping... There was many bugs in the game which were annoying... Overall , it was a great game not a masterpiece , it have some flaws but at the end of the day i enjoyed it... A 9/10 , a must game.....

12 year old game and still has a massive bug that stops your progressing by not letting you swim. Also got softlocked when it decided to autosave while i was falling to my death. Several more bugs where i had to restart to progress. Constant bug with the guns where bullets wont register and hitboxes are terrible

In the campaign, the enemies only shoot the main player, and the teammates are completely useless. Felt like was playing the game alone. However, its not a bad game, it offers a large destructive map and variety of weapons to kick the asses. The Punkbuster anti-cheat has some bug which kicks the player out automatically in the multiplayer. It can be fixed by re-installing the anti-cheat system but i hope someday the game devs would fix that problem.

campaign is good, super immersive, very good FPS game

Better than any recent battlefield but underappreciated in its time.

Campaign is what this game is in 2025. Multiplayer is a big no no.

Game still holds up pretty well, but I recommend updating punkbuster once you get the game, otherwise you'll run into problems in multiplayer.

Singleplayer playtime is short but multiplayer servers are entertaining.

Growing up, I loved watching local content creators play Battlefield 4, and now that I've finally gotten the chance to dive into it myself, it feels like a dream! The graphics are still stunning, and the gameplay is smooth, stable, and just downright fun. I've speedrun the campaign several times because I'm that hooked on it. I haven't ventured into the online mode yet — it’s probably a bit quiet these days anyway — but honestly, the single-player experience alone is totally worth it. It's a classic that I'll always cherish!

Greatest Frostbite Battlefield without a doubt. Was playing it back in its prime, the launch was an absolute tragedy, but DICE LA really did pull up a U turn and fixed it. Worth a play even if the lobbies might be sweaty.
