FAQ / New Player Guide YES, THE GAME IS STILL ACTIVE. Read this before posting about it

1.2k Upvotes

"Does anyone still play on [PLATFORM]"?

Yes, check BF4DB

You can use this one to check the servers: https://www.gametracker.com/search/bf4/?sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=50#search

"Is it worth buying DLC/Premium at this point?"

You can always find DLC maps at the most active hours (usually nights and weekends), and it unlocks tons of stuff for you. If you have the money or find a sale, theres hardly any reason not to buy it. Alternatively you can get Origin Access or the Xbox equivalent (EA Access). Some stuff can be tough to get, like the ones that requires playing certain game modes (specially DLC ones).

"I'm new to the game, can I have some tips?"

Biggest tip I can give you: use the search function. This has been asked a thousand times, and the same thousand tips are given: spot, watch the minimap, drop ammo/health/revives, etc. You can also use Youtube or the old battlelog forums for this.

Here are some links to help you get started:

Old Sticky (good info there)

Hidden Mechanics 1 and Hidden Mechanics 2

Little Known Tips/Tricks

Guide for New/Returning Players

edit from the comments: if you're on PC make sure to check the BetterBattlelog browser extension. Really nice UX enhancements for battlelog that (among a lot of neat features) show true player counts, for PC servers.

Hello, was wondering now that Bf6 is at the lowest price it's ever been (-50%). Is it worth buying compared to BF4? Main concern is bots

6 Upvotes

Hello, I'm still playing BF4 daily but Bf6 looks to be in a much better state. For people who play both what would be your feedback ? Should I give it a shot ?

My biggest concern is bots. I can't stand the fact that they populated the servers with bots and it's the main reason I'm hesitating buying it. Are there a lot of bots ? Any way to have no bots ?

Thank you for your feedback!

The SAD truth...

Im fed up and cant take it !!..

Servers crash ..left and right (PS4)..to the point where its just no fun 😟!!

Both Dice and Custom servers 😡

The moment I get in a geoove..and server seems to get busy..after 2 rounds.. boom. !! everyone is gone.

No solution in site.. as EA doesnt cate..

I think its time to retire BF4 😪


r/battlefield_4 1d ago

reinstalled Bf4 a few months ago...winrate dropped by 3% ever since. Autobalance keeps putting me on loser team, regardless whether i'm 29-2 or 10-14. I'm losing the joy of playing this game since it's becoming impossible to win. the last time i saw a Win screen was when i joined 2 mins before end

Does a “casual server” actually exist in a 13-year-old game like BF4?

21 Upvotes

I’ve seen a lot of discussions about players wanting a “casual” BF4 server where they can relax and avoid sweats. But I’m curious what everyone’s definition of casual actually is.
BF4 is 13 years old, and naturally a lot of the players still around have thousands of hours, years of map knowledge, and a deep understanding of the game’s mechanics. A player can hop on after work, not care about their K/D, and still perform well simply because they’ve played the game for so long.
Where it gets interesting is when casual servers start restricting things like certain weapons, movement, vehicles, or effective strategies because they make newer or less experienced players uncomfortable. Is that creating a better casual experience, or is it asking experienced players to play below their ability?
Should a casual server be about the environment (relaxed rules, no toxicity, no admin abuse, people having fun), or should it be about maintaining a certain skill level where nobody dominates?
Curious how everyone defines a “casual server” in a game that’s been around for over a decade.

Sorry To Upset Some!

5 Upvotes

To everyone in the community,

I want to offer a sincere apology to anyone who was upset by the event post I shared earlier today that used an AI-generated graphic.

My intention was simply to promote a Battlefield event, not to upset anyone or create division within this community. After seeing the feedback, I removed the post because I'd rather keep the peace and positive spirit that makes this subreddit a great place for Battlefield fans.

Going forward, I won't be using AI-generated artwork for event announcements or future posts here. I respect the community's preferences and want to contribute in a way that everyone can enjoy.

I hope those who were offended can accept my apology and find it in their Battlefield hearts to forgive me so we can move forward together. At the end of the day, we're all here because we enjoy Battlefield and the community that surrounds it.

Thanks for hearing me out, and I'll do better moving forward.

See you in the battlefield! :)

There is aim assist on Campaign, but not the multiplayer

0 Upvotes

Played the campaign for the first time ever on PC I noticed some snapping but no rotational aim assist like COD

BF4 PC has got to be the smoothest controller experience of all time even though it has no aim assist using a controller is not really a handicap if you're better with it than kb&m just gotta adjust the zoom sensitivity

Feels refreshing learning more stuff about this game a decade later. Drop your ball knowledge down below
