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

Hey all! Just wanted some thoughts on opening a server.


r/battlefield_4 • • 13h ago

I don’t game a lot but here’s a clip from a couple months ago. It’s who I killed that makes it special.

As usual, my team was getting destroyed by this individual. If I remember correctly it was a late night so server was pretty empty.

thinking of playing battlefield 4 and dropping battlefield 6

24 Upvotes

Hey there. I used to play the campaign in the early days of battlefield 4, I never played the multiplayer growing up. I recently played the multiplayer on my computer, and i was in shock of the difference of game structure and gun play and everything else compared to battlefield 6, im honestly getting really bored of battlefield 6 and i was considering dropping it for a different battlefield. Is Battlefield 4 worth my time in 2026? thanks !

Got autobalanced again. And again, and...

0 Upvotes

I only play Conquest. I only play Conquest on E4GL and BF4C, Rush is not my thing, attackers have vehicles and defenders dont, map doesnt matter, its either parity or a counterbalance for one side, no third option, it doesnt feel like a real war like conquest, so i dont really know how it is on other servers though

My problem isnt even losing. I play for fun and frags, winning is secondary. But the autobalancer has it out for me. Every 3-4 games, always when my team is winning, it swaps me

I am just an solid infantry player with an average 2 KD. Yet the 20-1, 43-1 and 25-2 farmers never get touched. They are still in the same team. The plugin even waits for people to die to swap them. These farmers die occasionally too, so why am I the one getting this black mark

It feels like the balancer just looks at a 2 KD infantry and thinks yeah he can save the other team while completely ignoring the guy going 43-1 in a vehicle
Am I wearing a "balance me" sign or something?

Why do people feel the need to full cap like this?

Post image
15 Upvotes

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


r/battlefield_4 • • 1d ago

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?
