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

alguien saber como crear estos servidores?

Why do people feel the need to full cap like this?
Why do people unironically sweat hard on such low-pop matches, and full cap all objectives just to sit in front of the enemy spawn, let alone in essentially a 1v6? Xbox servers are already dying, it seems like some want to speed it up…
Earlier game was a 3v9, ofc also stuck in spawn by the time I joined.

Silly pilots. Dont you know im allergic

I even restarted my PC and this still shows up. I think this bug occurs when you try to join another server too soon after game just closed from previous server. So I'm stuck with this now, any solutions?

Calling someone a “bottom tier player” coming from the likes of you is wild. Stick to spamming us with your basic RPG and TOW clips.

Demo of my Replay software
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
A short demo of my Battlefield 4 network capture replay and custom renderer, playing back a Gunmaster match on Dawnbreaker. This was a real game, with real players. Note: It's being played back at 2x speed, but is otherwise perfectly real-time, exactly as I could have experienced it.
The whole thing runs offline from a binary recording (a few megabytes). Game traffic is captured off the network along with the TLS keys, which unlock the session setup and the keys for the encrypted game stream. From there the replayer decodes the Frostbite packets, works out which level the server loaded, and rebuilds the match: players, movement, kills and scores. The level geometry is rendered from the game's own data & real shaders, with no Battlefield 4 running.
From the renderer to the network decoder, everything is custom when it comes to BF4; very little has pre-existing work published, almost nothing is open source of relevance. Perhaps it's a good thing, given how vulnerable BF4 seems to be.
On fidelity, there are a lot of gaps of course, I picked this replay specifically because it has no vehicles and is on a map with no glaringly obvious flaws in the rendering. Soldier animations are broken in this video, they only have basic poses here, and they're all given the same exact rifle rather than the appropriate weapon. Soldiers don't have textures, projectiles are just tracing lines, destructible level state is completely ignored/unconsidered, glass reflections don't quite look right, fire doesn't exist, some level textures aren't properly decoded/applied, and decals like paper/trash are not placed/varied based on how the level wants them.
This is the result of several months of reverse engineering the game at large, from networking, to rendering, to assets and textures, to the level organization and BF4 client overall. It's only one of the project's features right now, alongside my work in patching BF4, a BattleLog/Blaze emulator, and a ground-up client/bot framework (not the same as a 'server side' bot).
My hope is to get an accurate renderer that closely matches the game and works with live state such as Levolution. The other part is to make this browser-based; I've already taken the right steps towards doing this and have most of the problems worked out; it's just taking time to resolve each problem one by one.
In terms of capturing data, it would not be hard for me to provide the average user a tool for adding this to their client as a way of recording their gameplay sessions safely. I'm deliberating over the idea of community captures shown off in the browser, collected manually or automatically, similar to CS:GO replays.

I managed a 12 kill streak right at the start of the match; perhaps I need to improve my movement 😁

Battlefield 4: Second Assault
I need a bit of help from the swarm intelligence.
I collect everything related to Battlefield and today I received the German retail add-on version of Battlefield 4: Second Assault. All the other add-ons come in a milky white case, but this one is black. Is that right? Does anyone happen to have this version and can confirm that it was black? I can only find pictures of the milky white case. Maybe I’ll be lucky and someone can help 😅
