I bought this game 3 times. I repeat, I bought this game THREE goddamn times. That should tell you how good this game is. I bought it once for Xbox 360, once for PS4, and once for PC, which I play on now. This was my first game I played in the Battlefield series, and in my opinion is the 2nd best, behind Battlefield 1. Thats probably an unpopular opinion and I 100% will get shit on for having it, but I had so much to say for my Battlefield 1 review.
For battlefield 4, I think the story is a nice semi-realistic plot but doesn't do anything too amazing. I like the subplot about Hannah being a double agent and the eventual end of the game where you have to sacrifice one of the characters. I remember I was so confused what was happening and picked Irish to go plant the C4 and when he died I was legitimately sad because I was a kid who didn't know why I was choosing between two people. It doesn't really make a difference tho, cuz Irish comes back in one of the Battlefield 2042 promos.
Anyways, for the multiplayer, the effects are good, the gunplay feels nice, maps are amazing, and the vehicles are awesome. I especially loved some of the map changes like the tower falling in siege of Shanghai or the radio collapsing in radio transmission. This is the definition of classic battlefield. Love this game.

i hate hate hate hate hate vehicle players, but it’s battlefield and playing on normal tdm servers is even more of a hectic mess.
this game 8-9 years ago = 4 stars and pretty dang awesome
this game nowadays on steam servers = kinda rough and sweaty and players are annoying so i’ll generously rate it 3 stars and call it a day

The perfect follow-up to my favorite battlefield. This takes all of battlefield 3's strong suits and puts it on a larger scale. Everything one loves from Battlefield is in this game. Massive destruction impacting the live multiplayer maps. This game will be a decade old this year and still is visually impressive for an fps game of it's size. DICE and EA peaked with this entry and it's clear they haven't been able to replicate this since. I could go back and forth between 4 and 3 being the better game but either way this is an amazing fps game. It's something EA and DICE should recreate, cause all this futuristic stuff they've been trying isn't working clearly
My personal favorite battlefield game. I absolutely love the multiplayer in this game. The servers are still relatively active, even compared to some of their more recent releases (Battlefield 1, I'm sure Battlefield hardline falls into this same boat). Would highly recommend giving this game's multiplayer a shot if you have not done so already.
Real heads know. I could write a thesis on why BF4 has the finest multiplayer in any class-based shooter ever made, but I won't here. I don't care about anything else in the game, Battlefield 4 absolutely perfects the multiplayer battlefield style experience. It will be sad when it finally runs out of steam, but at least we have Battlebit too.
