    Overall impression of BF4

    My impresion from BF4 is that EA no longer gives a f*ck.

    They want you to pay $110 for a game that did not work on day 1 and will not work until people stop playing it. If you count the features this game supposedly has, and then count how many work you're looking at some really bad figures. Battlelog doesn't work, the SP doesn't work, the MP obviously doesn't work. The updates don't work.

    EA is bak on teh ban list, after they screwed everybody with BF3 they were on my ban list, and now with an unfinished game, they land right back on it. I think MOh was 1000x the game that BF4 is just because it worked. everything about it was straight from COD, but it worked, as does COD. I bought MW3 after I got tired of putting up with BF3 and it was so much better, no lag, no crap, just exactly what you would expect from a $60 game. And I hate COD, ever since COD 4 it went downhill and never recovered IMO, but at least I can join a game and point my gun at your head adn get a HS, in BF4 I can't even kill you, because the server is lagged out and I'm shooting where you were 15 seconds ago.

    Tried every hardware/software fix in the book, turned the graphics down to practically 2007 and still no results. This means it is on EA's turf and not mine. BF4 is going into the dust collection pile with all of their other flops, and they will not be getting the $50 from me for premium like I was planning.

    Beta worked great, should have just sold it as the finished game, at least we would have one spectacular working map...

    So EA (notice I'm leaving DICE out of this as they did their job) has 1 week to fix the game or I probably won't see an EA logo on my screen for a good while. More and more people keep giving them 2nd chances and I see more and more people disgusted with the 2nd opertunity.

    1 week, or I'm ditching this hunk of coding errors they call a game, and going back to ARMA III and hanging out in the "games that work" zone until these producers remove their heads from the uttermost parts of their money enriched posteriors

    I am failing to see how they could correct the amount of errors without some R&D.

    As it is, they are patching every 2-3 days. Simply put, a week is unreasonable.

      I have always thought that EA sucked and this time around I set my expectations low. The way they handled BF3 and the attitude they seemed to have toward some of the errors left the impression that EA really didn't give a F&%k. Although there are issues with BF4 I think they are working hard to fix them and there was even some sort of communication I read which had a totally different attitude. I wont drop the coin on premium if that changes but so far I'm enjoying the game.

        I had such high expectation for this game because BF2 on PC was amazing and I loved BF3 even though I only played it on my Xbox. I spent the extra cash building my new computer just so I could play BF4 smoothly on it and the game play is just utterly terrible right now. I rarely have a smooth game and am getting so sick of the glitchy game play. It will be good whenever its finally fixed I'm sure, but I'm just hoping my experience isn't trashed by that point destroying my enthusiasm to play it.

          I think I liked EA better in early 2000 when they just spam released 007 games and what not... Now I avoid them like the plague. I made an exception for BF4 just because Cain's Lair was playing it! But, put simply: BF4 is a mess.

              I enjoyed the games last night. And I think the game has been good overall. Yes I get some stuttering and I crash once in a while, but overall it has been a good game. Everyone keeps looking back to BF2 and talking about how great the game was. Most seem to have forgotten the problems that BF2 had and everyone complained about. So yes every game has problems to work out. I remember how long it took EA to fix bugs in BF2. You have to admit they have been rolling out bug fixes quite quickly for BF4. And the stuttering complaints, remember BF2142 Titan lag anyone? I also think the team play in BF4 is as good as it can get for a public game.
              So in conclusion, I like this game overall.

                I set my expectations around the mid point and that's the game I got. A few network performance issues here and there and a couple of crashes per day. Other than that everything is fine and dandy for me.

                    If a week is unreasonable so is $60.

                    I'll give them 2 if I can get $20 back

                      I won't be buying another 'modern' Battlefield game. The only title I'll buy in the series to come is along of the lines of a BF2142 sequel. This is pretty much my last BF game in the 'modern' era. Unless there's some improvements in stability and server stability, this game has been successful but seriously annoying when 'bugs' hurt the gameplay so much.

                        I agree that was really fun! But the game is still janky as all hell! What I meant by my earlier post is: If you guys weren't playing it, I would've never have bought it. This game is infuriating to play when you don't play it with any friends!

                        Apache, I don't know if I personally can relate to your post because the only other BF games I played was 1942 and Vietnam. But 1942 was the only one of those 2 that I actually purchased. I see what you mean though.

                          I loaded the newest AMD drivers (9.2) and have not crashed since.

                            Probably because AMD and DICE partnered for BF4 and added extra GPU acceleration. Which is cool, but you'd think they'd have atleast sent Nvidia an email or something, being that around 60-70% of PC gamers have Nvidia :\

                            Developers seem so picking about which GPU's they want you to use

                              The game started out decent for, stability-wise. I had a few CTD's. Now it's an unstable P.O.S.

                              CTD's multiple times per round (most common is BF4.exe appcrash then Crash To Desktop), other times I get "driver stopped responding."
                              Frozen screen with repeating sound a few times a day
                              Lost sound on certain maps

                              So yeah I'm done for now until they seriously fix this game.

                              Another $60 wasted....
