Battlefield 4™ is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of Frostbite™ 3, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other.
Only in Battlefield will you blow the foundations of a dam or reduce an entire skyscraper to rubble, or lead a naval assault from the back of a gun boat. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory.
In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense and dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's struggle to find its way home.
There is no comparison. Immerse yourself in the glorious chaos of all-out war, found only in Battlefield.

Forget premium buy this and see if you like the game. If you do then buy premium.
No point buying premium straight away more than enough content in the base game to form a proper opinion from.
When the game first came out it was absolutely shocking. It's playable now though after many delayed patches.

What is the multiplayer like on this version? Or do you need the more expensive version to get a better multiplayer experience?

The base maps still get played a lot. Plus there are some free maps (no premium required) in the not to distant future.

I bought the game a couple of months ago and picked up premium when it was on sale - I still spend most of the time on the original maps. Premium is nice for a bit of variety, but is by no means essential.

U must get premium to get the full experience. One of the best games in my opinion

for the more casual gamer who wants to dip his toes there's still plenty of game and a busy online community using the non premium maps for less than a tenner.

There are far more players playing the standard version than the premium maps. I'd recommend getting the premium for an extra tenner as it adds loads of content (like double the maps and game modes), but it's an awesome game even without premium.

Can someone point me to where I can upgrade to premium for £10?
thanks

What should I get out of this or the saints row re elected and gat out of hell offer?
Both very different I'm aware but I haven't played either and believe it's a fairly decent offer for the game + expansion at 16?

The problem with the Premium maps are most fully populated matches use the base maps everyone has or the latest maps released under premium, the inbetween ones become under used.
To try the game, the base maps will be fine.

Still one of my favourite games on the 'new' consoles. I already have it on the PC and XB1 though so I'll be giving this a miss. It is a good deal though.

Sorry, but I just couldn't let this go. There's a line between game and glory? And it's normally not blurry? Nope. Never seen it.
And exactly what genre did Battlefield 4™ define, exactly? I can't believe people actually get paid to write this crap. Bull like this really blurs the line between 'marketer' and 'simpleton'. A line that actually *has* been blurry for quite a while.
Feels good to have got that out of the system. :smile:

Yeah, the difference is that I enjoy both types of game and to be fair I haven't actually paid for BF4 once. I got the PC version given to me and the XB1 version was on EA Access.

I found it playable for the first month, with the exception of Lancang Dam which suffered from serious rubber banding.
They then released some patches and made the game worse. Since then, as Sonny said, now the patches have been released its actually playable and a more enjoyable experience.
At release it did feel some what like a beta but I believe dice have learned from these mistakes and are rewarding the community that still play with free content.

Tbh, as someone who only plays on Operation Locker, I totally agree with this although Premium does unlock all of the guns straight away which is nice.

Best game for the price.

The full premium edition is £24 with Plus. It is often cheaper just to buy that than to get the addon pack for the standard game unfortunately.
The only minus point would be the 21 months experience that some will have over a newbie which might make for frustrating gameplay but for a tenner, you can't go wrong!
A (now) solid game with a strong user base (none of my PSN buddies play BFHL any more :disappointed:).

When did premium unlock all guns? Is this just on console or am I missing something?

The small maps make CQ games a bit CoD-like (fastest finger 1st, no major benefits to team & strategic play) but I do like Blood Money for a bit of comedy and the money-based level system makes more sense than any other BF game.
It was killed before release by people calling it DLC when in reality, it's the biggest change to the BF franchise to date (which killed it off for everyone else :wink:).
Foolish me got Premium for it too so I want to get some value out of it but it's not the same without yer mates :disappointed:

I have this in disk. Will all my saves carry on for the digital version?
BubaMan to FrugalFergal
13 Aug 151#27
Yes but you will have to delete the cached game data from the disc version before downloading this one.
FrugalFergal
13 Aug 15#28
So should I uninstall the disk version first and will my saves be kept?
Nevyn13
13 Aug 151#29
I would back them up to make sure.

13 Aug 15#30
^This but yes.
Also, your saves should be backed up to PSN, assuming you have Plus.

cheers for the link to the premium version - will be getting this! Have BF4 on PC and its great, just looking for a console shooter with some quality vehicular warfare :smile:

I know it does on the Xbox. I haven't tried it on anything else though.

It doesn't unlock anything other than the maps, you still have to work to unlock the weapons.

Had this on the 360, including premium!, but had to stop playing as getting freezes and kicked every damn game ruined it for me.
3 hours of this so far on the PS4 and love it. 64 player conquest is fantastic, and the game is still very well populated! Think I might regret not getting the premium edition, but Battlefront is out in a few months I suppose.

Out of interest are there any benefits of buying the premium version if you mainly play the campaign mode? I dont have much interest in multiplayer maps.
ocelot20 to FrugalFergal
13 Aug 15#40
No there is no single player DLC. Plus the campaign is poor imo and lasts about 3-4 hours.
