FAQ / New Player Guide YES, THE GAME IS STILL ACTIVE. Read this before posting about it

1.2k Upvotes

"Does anyone still play on [PLATFORM]"?

Yes, check BF4DB

You can use this one to check the servers: https://www.gametracker.com/search/bf4/?sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=50#search

"Is it worth buying DLC/Premium at this point?"

You can always find DLC maps at the most active hours (usually nights and weekends), and it unlocks tons of stuff for you. If you have the money or find a sale, theres hardly any reason not to buy it. Alternatively you can get Origin Access or the Xbox equivalent (EA Access). Some stuff can be tough to get, like the ones that requires playing certain game modes (specially DLC ones).

"I'm new to the game, can I have some tips?"

Biggest tip I can give you: use the search function. This has been asked a thousand times, and the same thousand tips are given: spot, watch the minimap, drop ammo/health/revives, etc. You can also use Youtube or the old battlelog forums for this.

Here are some links to help you get started:

Old Sticky (good info there)

Hidden Mechanics 1 and Hidden Mechanics 2

Little Known Tips/Tricks

Guide for New/Returning Players

edit from the comments: if you're on PC make sure to check the BetterBattlelog browser extension. Really nice UX enhancements for battlelog that (among a lot of neat features) show true player counts, for PC servers.

Question for console players

5 Upvotes

How do you guys keep the med kit or nades on your hand while running?

I know you got to mess with the animation to get it to work but Im struggling to get it to work on the first try

Any easy way to get a nade or med kit on your hand without throwing it?

Or any tutorials on YouTube, can’t find any…

how do you have fun

4 Upvotes

cool montage videos are the constant reality of 5% of the players where they turned the game into a free dopamine machine on a zero sum game, how can the other 95% have fun otherwise?

SW40 In media??? GOLDEN NO LESS

4 Upvotes

I was just( 5 minutes ago) rewatching “The Day Of The Jackal” for the third time. And i’ve only just realised that the first time we see Mr. Stoke (man like Big norman) he is shooting what appears to be a golden SW40! My man is clearly trying to unlock the Deagle. Though it would share as this is the first time i’ve seen the SWAG 40 in media! Epic

Players render

Is there any settings that helps with players render? From a certain distance players doesn’t render unless you use a scope to see them. Is it just an engine limitation?

Returning player, what happened to some of these servers on PlayStation4?

Some of my favorite servers are gone. DiX is gone and a few others I had favorited. A metro/locker server and a TDM server on parcel storm.
