I've just gotten so used to the crashes, so it's hard to even evaluate the game. What's really infuriating is how the crashes result in the PS3 telling me that the system was improperly turned off. Not only do I lose save data on multiplayer settings, but also the single player data. I've spent hours playing DICE's shitty single player to get multiplayer unlocks, and then all the progress is gone.

As for the gameplay, I'm mixed. Battlefield 4 did fix the biggest problem with BF3, with map designs. Although BF3's map designs were so horrible, the bar was set really low.

They've still kept the damage model which is just killing the tempo of the game. Battlefield was never supposed to be a Quake like twitch shooter. It was supposed to be about the bigger picture and experimenting like you would in GTA. So if you run out in the open you instantly get killed, and the result is everyone just sniping or clinging to corners.

And then the destructible environment.

Destructible environments were introduced in Bad Company exactly to combat camping. Yet they've toned down the traditional destruction (lots of buildings where you can take cover) and replaced it with more context sensitive type destructions (e.g. shoot this pillar to bring the floor down). In Bad Company, destruction was an ever present element and the backbone of the game. Now it feels more like a set piece/feature for them to show off how pretty the game is.

So in a nutshell, aside from the bugs, better than Battlefield 3. But Battlefield 3 was so horrible, it's not really an accomplishment to improve on it.

Because it still has aim assist and even lower TTK?
