BF4

Let's be clear here - it's TWO MONTHS after this game was released and we're still having to bend over backwards to get into games (which often are totally unbalanced). BF4 is a failure - there's no way to sugar-coat this pill.

So do the tens of thousands of us actually enjoying the game on a regular basis actually have broken machines?



Maybe the problem doesn't actually lie with DICE and EA but rather your own personal set up?

Then why have EA and DICE own people made several statements admitting there's issues which they are still looking into, even more updates planned? ..

Of course problems can arise through "Our own personal set up" ... Dodgy broadband, maybe the game didn't install properly, could be a number of reasons but it's funny that the majority of problems especially with the first batch of next gen titles that are
being constantly reported are mostly with EA titles, funny that.

You seem to be one of the lucky ones Mr Az, or maybe you have had issues but I have a feeling you wouldn't want to admit it ;-)

 

I just wish for BC3 Dice backs away from EA... their games would be 100Xs better without them

 

I had a lot of problems when I first got this game on x1. Have it on pc as well and trust me, it was just as bad on there as well. But all seems fine to me now. It's not perfect but I've had no trouble getting into games, it hasn't kicked me to the x1 home
screen and overall the experience has been much improved. I know some people are still experience problems but I don't anymore. I'm not calling those people liars either. Just trying to give my perspective on it. To me it's a great game but I have to say I'm
with tohellnbak in that I really wish for a new bad company. Having played battlefield since bf1942 on PC, I have to say that bad company 2 was my favourite.

 

BC2 was and still is one of the best FPS I ever played.. well balanced.... vehicles and weapons... classes were perfect..

Medic = Defibs

Assault = ammo

Recon = M95 (lol)

Engi = Smaw

Choppers were OP

Tanks werent.

2 things on BC2 got it right IMO... No prone and lack of KD in score board

 

For sure. And it still has some of my favourite battlefield maps of all time. I really wish they would redo some of those.

 

too small for BF4... maybe extend but would love to see White Pass or Valprasio ohhh I miss that lighthouse....haha

100% agree. Get as far away from EA as possible.

Of course you can get issues with any game, SP or MP but in all my time playing consoles/PC, I've always experience the worst problems with EA, especially their servers.

I was hoping they would have got their act together with the next generation of console, sadly not ...

I traded my BF4 copy but talked to my cousin and another friend and they still having issues since the last update. Loads still reporting losing their save game progress.

I started playing Need for Speed on PS4 yesterday, had a few issues with that. Phoned my son who's got it on Xbox One and he traded his copy 2 days ago because of the issues and he's about to give up on FIFA 14 aswell.

I wonder if EA will be voted worst company again this year like they have been quite a few times before, anyone taking bets? ;-)

 

It's funny. Go back a few years and everyone hated ubisoft the most. Ah how things change.

Sure I've had issues. Prior to the patch it sometimes took up to 5 minutes to find a game.



I entered a game once and it was a little juttery.



But that's about it.



Tell us about your set up and maybe we can help. Are you using Hardwired Broadband or a wireless connection?

Hardwired.

BT Infinity, just ran a broadband test on laptop ( again wired ) ... results ...

Download Speed: 76.33 Mbps

Upload Speed: 17.81 Mbps

PING: 10ms

The last time I was on Xbox One and played Battlefield 4 my NAT was OPEN so no issues there.

Thanks for the offer though Mr Az but I think I'm ok my end, well I've had no major issues with other games on XB1/PS4 online.

Forza 5, only once it didn't put me and 4 other friends into the same game, other than that it's been brilliant.

Ryse: Son of Rome. Me and a friend have clocked up 50 hours now in co-op arena, not one single issue.

COD Ghosts ( on both XB1/PS4 ) .. It didn't cause me no issues but once when I was in Party Lobby ( XB1 version ) it said my NAT was MODERATE, weird as it said OPEN when I tested it on XB1 Dashboard but still didn't have no issues joining games, didn't notice
any lag etc in either Team Deathmatch or co-op modes.

I've lost count how many hours I've put into Killzone Shadowfall online, not one issue.

Dead Rising 3. Played a fair bit of co-op, not had one issue here, well apart from we had a power cut in my area that lasted 6 hours and the electric went off when in-game.

Not had any problems downloading updates, full games, DLC etc on either the Playstation Network or Xbox LIVE.

I've also been playing 2 titles online on my PC ( only about 10 hours in last 3 weeks though ) no problems here.

My Battlefield 4 has been traded now so I guess I will never know for sure but my guess is it was just another "Shoddy" title released by EA, I guess though I can't rule out a conflict between my broadband and the EA servers, there's always the chance I guess
but not something I need to worry about now ;-)

 

I liked bc2 alot.

but loved the vietnam expansion. One of the best dlcs ever.

 

BF4 is nice since the updates. Make sure you guys are clearing cache. This seems to help many.

 

Finding the right servers makes all the difference in the world to me. The problem is many of my friends aren't in the right servers... =(

I would have thought me being in the UK that the European servers would have been the one's to choose, these I found the worst lol

US West Coast were not much better.

I always found US East Coast servers the best/most stable.

 

Americas army that take me back
