Hi,
Noticed on Amazon that some people are saying Battlefield 4 is full of bugs? is this true?

They have also said that Battlefield 4 is slow and not much action. is this also true?
 
The game is ok - the crashes are less frequent since they released a server side console patch and the gameplay is quite good. 8/10 for me on PS3.
 
A lot of the bugs I read about are the same as those that were in BF3 when it was released. I won't be buying it until at least 6 months have passed (if ever). I was not impressed with the state of BF3 at release.
 
Plenty of action.

However:

-Maps = bland
-"netcode" = shoddy
-Basic gameplay features are often poorly implemented with a seeming "that will do" attitude when its mostly sort of working.
-Lots of unfinised work in fundamental engine features i.e. "netcode", sound, input handling, texture streaming, etc.
-Crashes a lot due to half arsed implementations of the communication between server, game process and browser plugin for battlelog (EDIT: This probably doesn't affect consoles)
-Crashes due to the previously mentioned half arsed work on the sound engine.
-Terrain traversal (as in the map geometry not just the terrain ground) is very poor and you often get caught up on clutter or struggle to move over shin high objects.
-Lots of this stuff should have been fixed post BF2 let alone post BF3.

thanks for all the replies. Think I'll wait until it comes down to about £20 before I buy it.
Hopefully by then they will have fixed all the bugs.

Maybe you need to let the game grow on you, I disagree wholeheartedly there. For me the gameplay is the best since 1942, maps are excellent. I think the game plays to the purist.
 
It's so buggy.. Fired up multiplayer today, all my stats have been reset, it's lost all my upgrades... Urgh Dice.. To top it off it crashed after about 10mins....

This game will be great after about 5 more patches.. Will try again in a few months :p
 
I was playing it online on my uncles pc last thursday for 3 hours online with no crashing and it was the same on the 360 versions I was playing too yesterday no crashing at all.

Single player isnt great, but who buys a Battlefield game for its campaign?

I havent seen any bugs in the campaign so far

Haha, oh you will. Last night on multiplayer my iron sights took so long to load the textures I was firing at someone with what looked like a big block of metal, crashed twice in 1 hr, single player is also buggy as hell, its a joke.
 
I've played six hours or so in total, not had any issues. I've failed to connect to servers because they had just all gone down, but that's no big deal to me. It's the server admins I feel sorry for.
 
Thinking of getting this for the PS4 but the stories on the web about crashes were starting to make me think twice.

Is it just the PC version that's been unstable or are there issues affecting consoles too?
