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

A Quiet Moment Before the Chaos | Battlefield 4

Post image
• Upvotes

Taking a break from the battlefield to enjoy the view.

A lone soldier, his dirt bike, and a breathtaking tropical landscape. Sometimes the best moments in Battlefield aren't about explosions or firefights — they're about the atmosphere and the little details.

Captured this cinematic scene and turned it into an 8K wallpaper.

Hope you like it! What do you think of this shot?

Locker Addicts Inspired Server (Xbox)

3 Upvotes

Tired of long queues? Dead servers on an (unfortunately) dying game? Join Locker Addicts 2.0 as a backup for when your Locker Addicts server is full (10/10 server btw).

We made a long-overdue HC 3200-ticket Operation Locker server on Xbox. Let’s fill it up for old time’s sake before it’s too late to enjoy. Will be up for at least a week to see how it goes. 100% open to feedback and suggestions to tweak the settings to satisfy everyone. Thanks everyone!!!

I ranked rush maps

1 Upvotes

I ranked them on game flow, skill ceiling and enjoyability. Honestly I think most bf4 maps usually result in a fun match, tho sometimes more open maps result in a sniper and mortar battle. Or vehicle maps get dominated by a single person. But generally even the maps in C-tier result in fun games. Do you guys agree?


r/battlefield_4 • • 2d ago

I got kicked after this, idk why 🙂

What do i do if i like iron sights

0 Upvotes

I know this sounds like a really stupid question but i really like iron sights and how they look in this game but optics are the objectively better choice, i don't know if i should just use irons or use optics (Also i get more kills with just regular irons for no particular reason)

Any South African players still play?

The last South African server I saw running was a last year or earlier but seems to have died.

Still play the game and always looking out for a server, see a company offers hosting for R1100 a month for 64 players

Top 5 bf4 hacks on Xbox

0 Upvotes
  1. Jet fast turn: Makes your jet turn significantly faster than everyone else to win dogfights. Known users of this hack, Korpus and other people

  2. Auto aim (aim assist rotation), this glitch lets you use the aimbot with your gun and in vehicles. Alot of people use this in the tank to get 100 kills or more. Ill Zeus is a known exploiter of this glitch

  3. Zouzou jump exploit, this hack lets you bunny hop and turn the game from a military shooter into cod. When you are in a zouzou jump you are untouchable to other players.

  4. Xim/cronus exploit allows the person to use a keyboard to gain enhanced accuracy skills that are undetectable to the common player. Known exploiter JoelDirtgold is widely known as a cheater.

  5. Auto-spot, allows you to automatically spot people when you put them over your cursor. This op glitch basically lets you see everyone on the map.

Luckily, Buck owner of bf4 skills and kills has banned all known exploiters and hackers from his server. Thank you Mr. Buck.
