 Was hoping this would be the Battlefield game that recaptured the magic of Battlefield 2 and even 2142.
Was especially looking forward to the commander position coming back so the teams were actually using a little bit of strategy.

Nope, the commander only seems useful for calling in derp strikes by cruise missiles on positions.  Still a bunch of wack a mole point capturing and retaking.

Honestly if you did not tell me I was playing Battlefield 4, I would swear i was playing Battlefield 3. The graphics are not a huge upgrade. The gameplay is near identical. Its obvious EA has chosen to pretty much make  Battlefield a cash cow and release yearly editions with minimal improvements. Hell I am already bored playing on what seems like the same 4-5 maps over and over.

Other problems are servers and the game crashing constantly. If you can play an hour straight without crashing you are lucky.

Just a big disappointment. Mediocre shooter gameplay, crashes, expensive, more of the same, does not capture the magic of the older titles in the series.

Thanks for your view. I respectfully disagree. :)

However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."

Im curious as to which parts you disagree with, and if you can make me see what I am missing.

If you want to feel better about BF4, go play COD: Ghosts.

Regardless, it's good to see you.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Of course RPS gave a poor review - they didn't get an advanced press copy.

I actually had the same problem RPS had when I first bought the game. 2 hours of Internet searching and tinkering with browser settings later, and I got it working.
