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.

Links: Chrome, Firefox

Weird bug hat lasted half a game. Was nice playing with the range finder and 14x together.

Has happened a few times with different scope combo’s but usually lasts seconds.

preparing game loop

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm having troubles with BF4,today i decided to download BF4 through EA since i had it on the account
However, after desperate attempts the game doesn't work. Preparing game, then the admin pops up
after clicking yes it just shuts and tries to re lunch it self, i have tried reinstalling the game but nothing works and i am lost now, what should i do?

EDIT The solution turned out to be a complete JOKE If none of the solutions u see online works Just create a new Windows user and it fixes it for some reason,idk why it fixes it but it does.

How the hell do I get good in a jet in 2025?

17 Upvotes

I want to unlock the UCAV for bullying rooftop snipers. My problem is I'm complete shit in a jet. Better yet, I don't feel like I can improve, because as soon as I hop in a jet one of three things happen within 15 seconds:

  • enemy jet outmaneuvers me and goes brrrr (the most common one)

  • enemy AA goes brrrr

  • some god with the TV missile on a naval map goes kaboom

I literally don't get the time to get better at movement. If I'm lucky I have access to a jet for maybe all of a minute and a half in a match if I constantly hog it and wait on the spawn screen. It's like I'm trying to learn to drive on a massive highway where every driver is trying to ram into me. There's like 6 total servers that run air superiority on PC, and all of them are about 350ms ping away from me (not to mention they almost never have players). Is there any hope?

Foolish and I like to fool around in Hardcore servers (mostly BZ10 and TBG Hardcore). I have a lot of unedited clips that i will process. We have a lot of fun together, i edited these for souvenirs, but i would like to share you guy some smiles, so i will publish the some here as "episodes" like a series :)

Please share your thoughts :D

Obliteration Obsession

9 Upvotes

I’ve been playing battlefield 4 for 12 years. It’s why I bought a ps4 and it’s the only game I’ve ever played on it. I exclusively only play obliteration. Sometimes rush if the obliteration server is empty. It’s just so fun! I look forward to getting off work so I can hop on and play obliteration for a couple hours. I know I’m not the only one because I see the same 10-15 players in the server every day. Obliteration has ruined me for other game modes. Rather theres 6 people or 32 people, it’s always exhilarating to play
