The story mode
I had this played out for about 5-6 hours on hard. I think this is due for a major multiplayer shooter in the frame and is acceptable.
However, I do not know what to EA / DICE has thought at the level of difficulty. Way too easy! No real Herrausforderungen, no jobs demanding.
Graphically is Bf4 behind Bf3, but this one has to deduct the console. You can tell that you have the Game runtergeschraubt conscious for the console. This due to frame drops. This dip in the story unfortunately still on once or twice. Every time when the console due to the Frostbite 3 engine is a lot of destruction. Incidentally, it is the first time on the PS3 I experience frame slumps. Well, here you can then look forward to the PS4, on the, as I go out of, it will look wonderful and run.
Tonal skin Dice at Bf4 back on it fully. Each effect, every crackle is implemented absolutely awesome. Brute shot-noise. Super.
The Multiplayer
Here are, as usual, to find many small teething. Points are not taken immediately after the broadcast, or when you start the next round. Overlay fonts menu. Graphical errors ...
Well, but was in relation to Bf3 playfully much improved, and there are not nearly as many bugs.
The game takes place in liquid, the Aiming fit for the start quite well, all in all the Multiplayer is well done. Especially the maps I like very much. Not too big, not too small (depending on the game mode).
There are seven game modes. I like the new mode very well in the both teams have 3 points, which they have to protect. A bomb will spawn randomly. Both teams have to try this to get, turning the three points of the opponents.
Very action-packed and fast paced gameplay.
Control
The control system is, in my opinion, unfortunately partially failed.
Although I have to adjust the options that control, but a Bf3 control in vain.
Especially the mock on R2 I still feel as a negative point.
The vehicle control do not like it so. Otherwise, the foot soldiers is acceptable and can be adjusted except for some details of the Bf3 control roughly.
Battlefield 4 has learned a lot, making many new and correct, unfortunately, some also wrong, but on the whole it seems deliberate such as BF 3.
That should no graphics here should be clear every PS3 owner. But since I now times like online games Bf, I can live well with this one month smears.
From me 4 stars with the certainty that the fifth star in a month or two loose addition.
Symbolically:
One should be aware that you here a Trabi buys (PS3 version), but in a month with the new road (PS4) has a Porsche. (BF4) :-) to get the code to the PS4 version is the pack in the way. For 10 euros extra each PS3 owners can download the PS4 version.
Addendum of 21:11:13:
Now that I've played the game about 150 hours online, I am compelled in my view to complete this review.
Rarely have I seen so many frustrating technical problems with a Battlefield release.
Why I disconnect a star in the review !:
-fehlendes Squad menu
-fehlendes equipment menu outside of a server
Clay bugs
-absolute worse Netcode which varies from server to server
-XP Are not calculated correctly by broadcast
-Serverabbrüche
-Freeze The PS3, over and over again
....
these are only the most striking weaknesses.
Too bad that I still have to downgrade so my first impression.
Although one can assume that EA is much solved with patches, it is to bring an impertinence the game as to the market. Pity about a really good game series.
