Battlefield 4 surpasses Battlefield 3 from a gameplay perspective but falls behind in terms of it's aesthetic, and single player offerings, as well as some frustrating multiplayer imbalance.
Battlefield 4 plays leagues better than BF3 does, with the game feeling much faster and more fluid than its predecessor. With more weapons, vehicles, and customization than Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4 is easily the go-to if you want to play a modern day Battlefield title. That said, you have to get around some of the more infuriating realities of multiplayer. Those being: vehicle mains getting 100+ kills in Attack Helicopters, Tanks, and Jets. The Mobile and Base AA are also problematic, with mobile AA having incredibly long range, and the AI controlled AA gun being easily exploited by lesser skilled jet pilots who can't win dogfights.
Battlefield 3 remains superior in terms of its gritty aesthetic and its single player offering. BF4's graphics often look too shiny and reflective compared to BF3's dusty feel. That and I prefer BF3's blue screen tint over BF4's piss filter. Battlefield 3's campaign also offers a better story than BF4's weird virtue signaling thing they had going on with Irish and Hannah's forced rivalry.
