BF4
Battlefield 4 is a first-person shooter video game developed by video game developer EA DICE and published by Electronic Arts.
The game came out in 2013, October 29
Firstly I would like to mention, that I have played BF3 and BF1942 before picking up this game. I currently have 20h ingame.
The pros
- Graphics
Even though the game is almost 5 years old at this point, it still looks great. Thanks to the Frostbite engine the game offers great destructible environments and large scale levolutions. You can throw a grenade next to a wall and after the grenade explosion there will be a hole in the wall.
Here are some of the levolutions:

Price
Currently the game is priced at 20€ in the Origin store, which is pretty good for a AAA game.
The game has a lot of content - from a great singleplayer to battling out with other people in the several multiplayer modes.Combat
Guns feel great to shoot and they also make nice and satisfying noises. There are customizable parts to choose from starting with suppressors and ending with different paintjobs on your guns.
The cons
Cheaters/hackers/scripters
From aimbotting players to server owners who purposely boost their server ranking on the server browser to make people join.
This is a pretty big problem and sadly it seems that DICE/EA has no interest in fixing these issues.
For the first hour I couldn't even play, because all the servers I tried joining were empty. After figuring out whats going on, I downloaded a plugin and everything worked perfectly.A decreasing playerbase
This is a trend in Battlefield games. The older game always loses players when a new game in the series comes out. It's same with bf4.
The conclusion
BF4 is a good game. It has some flaws, but it can still be fun to play. If you liked the gameplay of the older battlefield games then it's definitely worth picking up.
