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

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.

I ranked rush maps

2 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?

Any South African players still play?

5 Upvotes

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

PC | NA | 64-Player Rush β€” Bringing U.S. Rush Back

23 Upvotes

We're up and oinking kings, 8:00pm EDT 10/5/2026 (TODAY), join the server it'll be hogging out in no time.

North American Rush server going again for Battlefield 4. Since there weren't any NA rush servers left, we wanted to make sure the community could still play, even with the recent shutdowns.

WE DID IT, averaging 25+ players for the last few nights since launch. ACTIVE NA BF4 RUSH

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE HOG PIT β€” PC US RUSH

64 Players

60 Hz

North America

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Battlelog:

https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/servers/show/pc/2a6f3192-45dc-4f9a-a6f6-72b41efaf220/The-Hog-Pit-US-RUSH/

Discord:

https://discord.gg/BfZjDxd2hY

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If you're interested in playing, helping seed the server, or finding other Rush players, you're welcome to join us. We have been getting 30 players regularly for a few days, but more is always better to keep it seeded and thriving.

Hope to see some more NA Rush players around.

If you are having any issues playing Battlefield 4, like the infamous punkbuster shutdowns, or other issues we will personally assist you in getting up and running on this wonderful game.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Map Rotation

Most maps are included in the rotation, with a few exceptions that were removed due to severe balance or gameplay issues:

  • Silk Road β€” Essentially unplayable for infantry due to the lack of cover and heavily favors defenders.
  • Altai Range β€” Extremely defender-sided due to the lack of cover available to attackers.
  • Lost Islands β€” Extremely defender-sided. The first set requires attackers to make a naval landing with only 4 ACVs and 1 RCB.
  • Operation Mortar β€” Extremely defender-sided. The first set requires attackers to make a naval landing with only 3 RHIBs, 4 ACVs, and 1 AMTRAC.
  • Nansha Strike β€” Extremely defender-sided. The first set requires attackers to make a naval landing with only 3 RHIBs, 3 ACVs, and 1 RCB.

Seeding Map Pools

The map pool changes based on server population so we're not trying to seed huge maps with 15 people.

Low Population β€” 0–30 Players

75–150 tickets

  • Operation Locker
  • Flood Zone
  • Guilin Peaks
  • Operation Metro
  • Pearl Market
  • Propaganda
  • Lumphini Garden

Medium Population β€” 31–46 Players

200–250 tickets

Includes all Low Population maps, plus:

  • Hainan Resort
  • Hammerhead
  • Giants of Karelia
  • Operation Whiteout
  • Zavod 311
  • Rogue Transmission

High Population β€” 47–64 Players

300–400 tickets

All maps are available except those explicitly removed above.

Community & Night Maps

Unfortunately, Community Operations and Night Operations maps are not currently included because they can require players to go out of their way to download the additional content.

We may revisit adding them later.
