“Battlefield 4 is DICE’s strongest effort in the series yet, with a gorgeous campaign joined by an excellent evolution of epic warfare online.”

At the end of the day, it’s Battlefield. If you played Battlefield 3 than you’ll know what’s in the latest instalment. If you haven’t played Battlefield before, and you want to try an amazing squad-based tactical first person shooter than give it a go. You will struggle the first few weeks but there is a lot of enjoyment that comes from large-scale warfare.

Battlefield 4's campaign is a sluggish addition that might delight those looking for heavy action without any sense of direction. But the multiplayer is an absolute delight. It's outstanding and definitely the primary reason for playing it.

Here we are at the dawn of the next generation of console gaming. While the gaming community is busy salivating at screenshots and videos of what they can expect over the next few months we still have developers absolutely pushing the limits of the current generation to their maximum. Their attempts are valiant ones I’m sure but you can’t help noticing the limitations in the current gen build of Battlefield 4. It’s pretty, sure, but the cracks are there and they hold back BF4 from being a much better title.

Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360 is a fitting advert for the very real need for a new generation of consoles; developers' ambitions are being restricted by, at this point, frankly antiquated hardware. Visually, it's an eyesore, with overblown lighting effects illuminating the game's plentiful issues with aliasing, screen-tearing and low-resolution textures.

Nov 20, 2013

Almost every event that you're a part of in Battlefield 4 is punctuated by some sort of demolition or explosion. Pursued by a helicopter? It'll blow up sooner or later. Running up a flight of stairs? They probably won't be there on the way back down. Need to get past an armoured vehicle? Better blast it to bits. And that's basically the franchise's newest entry in a nutshell – it's a bit bigger, and slightly bolder – but is that really enough to warrant a sequel so soon after Battlefield 3?

Powered By the Frostbite 3 engine, Battlefield 4 offers players a glimpse into that is more human, dramatic and believable than anything before it, where multiplayer game design elements are incorporated into the single-player campaign.

Nov 6, 2013

Battlefield 4 was a rushed and unprepared game, which is very disappointing.

Dec 4, 2013

The multiplayer is spectacular with large unbelievable battles that last a whole game and it will leave you wanting more. With bullet and physics mechanics that shape the battle it has the most amount of realism whilst still remaining a fun and immersive game. A masterpiece that will not cease to amaze.

If there’s one thing that the upcoming generation of consoles is unleashing on us as an industry, it’s this whole cross-generational development malarkey. You know, one game on four consoles, across two generations. For us as reviewers it means playing four versions simultaneously – not exactly at the same time, because that would be ludicrous! – which ultimately means that a.) it takes us twice as long to review a game; and b.) the next-gen versions are going to make the last-gen ver...
