Honestly a perfect statement. A lot of people say this when a product hasn't really begun to show its age, but this game has. The HUD is a little dated, the water isn't as good as future games, and certain textures, objects, and shading don't look as good as they once did. When you account for the atmosphere, though, this game is just miles better than any game I've ever seen. The lighting, the particles, the sound design, I could go on.

I played it a lot before but I tried going back on the Xbox series x because it’s 120 fps but I couldn’t deal with not being able to change the FOV and the game being 720p isn’t great either
hit it on the head with this one. One of the main reasons I love them. True freedom and sandbox fps feel. You can approach situations (usually capture points or vehicles but perhaps a nice squad that lines themselves up for u lol) in any way your brain can conceive.
@@sitlong1 only difference between 3 and 4 is 3 had harder recoil to master imo. Just a little. Battlefield 4 is mostly just more battlefield 3 with better and more of everything. Not here to debate it though. Just wish it was the same dice making these games nowadays :(
I feel like Bf4 gets better with every year simply because the newer Bf and other games show us how well we had it back in the day. What I would give for basically the same game but with modernized mechanics and graphics...
@@enjoi9970 Every game has issues. Look at 2042 then. With that game almost everything is an issue and pretty much nothing works.

I can sense the happiness in your voice when you play bf4. I fully understand it because the voice in my head does the same thing when I play it. It's just a special feeling that is not present in 2042.
I remember that if you flew a chopper all you had to have were 2 Engineers riding with you and spamming the repair toll and you could virtually stay in the air forever.

@@IamBATMAN2024 It was good when it came out. It just as not aged well in my opinion, especially compared to Battlefield 3 that came out just a year after and still feels mostly modern.
The thing with BF4 is that yes, it was broken at launch but the ingredients for a great game were always there. With BF2042 I'm still trying to figure out what the ingredients are.
Guys I can't believe it's already 9 years I remember how I came home out of school and play it for long hour when I was 8 y.o. This game have very special place in my heart
I really hope that Dice will put back the chinese faction in the next battlefield, because it's more realistic. After all it would make sense to have the 3 most powerful countries present in a modern war.
Went back to this game recently. The thing that really hooks me about this game is that it doesnt have stupidly wild recoil patterns. I shoot, and my gun isn't flailing uncontrollably around the screen.

Map wise, yeah they had a blunder, compared to the blunders that are in the 2042 lineup.
I absolutely love BF4. Currently playing it again. The biggest gripe I have is the wall glitch on locker. People exploit the crap out of it. Plenty of players on XB1.
"Maybe that's where we are headed" heard that before the latest release and before that lol 😂 Ain't going to happen, we need a new game like BF4. Dice has lost their chance.
@@enjoi9970 Seriously. Battlefield 4 has not aged that well, and looking back there were some serious design flaws. Battlefield V is what was really sending the series in the right direction imo, vehicles finally had some nuance and class balance and incentives have never been done so well.

this game was and still is such a MASTERPIECE , every expansion was great and like jack said: you really had a roll and in this game: teamwork makes the dream work. love bf4 content ❤
They said 2042 was largely based and inspired by bf3 and 4, and look what happened there. We just have to accept that the dice studio is nothing compared to what it was .
Every time you dip back into an older BattleField game it makes me so happy. This franchise has so much going for it, BF2042 was such a let down. Im glad to see they have made tons of improvements but We can still go back to BF1 and the gameplay is impressive. Even BF3 or this game. Thanks for the great content Jack. Much love. Thank you for what you do.
The big difference that makes this game still fun is the work that went into the maps : the layout and the less, way less, reuse of assets between maps, in 2042 you have the same corridor, the same ladder, same containers, etc in all maps
Can it be said that BF4 aged like a wine?
Vine or Wine?

I’m a big CoD fan but BF does this way better. Negative KD players can still make match altering plays with the support roles

And still the best battlefield so far
