Battlefield 4 is arguably the best Battlefield infantry experience you can get!
It had a disastrous launch and it took DICE LA (not the developers) years to polish it out. The movement system is fast and fluid, combined with addictive gunplay. There are some exploits like ZouZou jumping which take some time to practice but can make the difference in most situations. There are tons of HUD customizations and this should be mandatory for all FPS titles but you won't find it outside BF4. I started playing it actively back in 2017 and I have spent 300+ hours playing mainly Operation Lockers 24/7 and other good infantry maps.
From here on, everything goes downhill. Battlefield 4 is FULL of annoying gadgets, grenades, etc. Most of the maps are terrible or made for vehicle combat where a good pilot/tanker can dominate the entire enemy team. Before it was full of terrible admins who would ban every good player because of "cheating". Currently, most good servers with proper rules and weapon/gadget restrictions are offline so It's a lot harder to find a proper server.
Battlefield 4 is also the last "good" Battlefield title. Everything after it has been a shitshow and DICE is trying to attract casual players and forcing political correctness, Swedish style. I'm a fan of the series ever since Bad Company 2 where I spend 1000+ hours. I pre-ordered Battlefield 3 (where a lot of bad changes were implemented like suppression), Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 (which I couldn't play for more than 100 hours). After so many disappointments, the whole franchise is dead to me and I couldn't care less for the future titles.
