Customers are satisfied with the graphics, multiplayer, and overall fun of Battlefield 4. They appreciate the realistic environments and feel they are getting a good value for the price. However, some customers have expressed concerns about bugs, a short campaign, and a less engaging storyline.
It is always good to have a hard copy, plus, after the download, you have a online copy as well. The disc set that I bought made it easier to download and faster to download. Overmore, the disc set was on sale on Best Buy so it was a little cheaper than online purchase at that time. Too good to pass up.

First of all, if you're buying this game to play the campaign, and you truly don't care about multiplayer (pretty much like me on consoles and almost all PC games I ever owned), then give this one a pass. The campaign is short, heavily scripted so there's no freedom. There are a few moments in the game where you actually choose something, but it doesn't make much of a difference because it's a linear game. As for the story on the campaign, well, it's the usual US versus the Communists (Russia alone got old on BF3 so this time we have... CHINA TOO!), and your character, along with his squad, are on a mission to prevent a full-scale war from happening and terminating everybody who opposes to that. The Multiplayer is something I took a very long while to start getting used to it. I ran BF4 on a 9800GT so the low settings were literally ruining me, as I couldn't spot players too far away, meanwhile they could get a HS on me from 5mi away on a AK-47 with sniper scope. The maps are different from BF3, this is kinda nice, but there are more useless things to learn (and I feel like an old dog on this one, so I hate learning maps every year). The multiplayer used to be buggy, as in, someone can shoot you through a wall but you can't shoot them back because they're behind a wall. And last but not least, the thing I hate the most about battlefield games: If you aren't an early adopter, you WILL suffer on multiplayer. Why? Because the older players will have better weapons, with all the attachments and mods to reduce or nullify the ridiculous recoil on some rifles, etc. and better aids to hunt you down from very long distances. Meanwhile you get bad weapons to start and you simply can't be as accurate as they are, so you have to rely on close quarters shooting to score some kills and move ahead.

I bought PC and Xbox 360 version. First off, graphics are amazing. I thought the game play was smooth and easy to play as well. Some people have said the single player campaigns were either boring or unrealistic. I don't think they're boring, maybe unrealistic, but entertaining. I haven't done a ton of multi-player but what little I have done I've enjoyed. I'll say this - i have no regrets with my purchase, i'd recommend it for anyone interested in some war action. I have my PC hooked up to my surround sound with 2x 24" Samsung monitors. The game plays amazing for me on a i7 2600k with 16 gig ddr3 corsair ram, OCZ Vertex 4 256gb ssd, and a AMD Radeon 6950 2GB Sapphire flex card (which is below specs game is calling for) on max settings. The surround sound doesn't seem to work properly which i am trying to resolve. My PC streams full Dolby 5.1 for everything but this game.. Can't seem to figure out why, but other than that its a lot of fun. It does have some crash issues that will surely be fixed in upcoming patches.
