I have a 360, I got bf4 about... a month ago or so... So far these were my issues - Installing and activating DLC was a HUGE PIA, seriously, why was BF4 more of a pain to install than an average PC game???? That should not be the case... I ended up having to clear my cache, unplug my 360, hold down multiple buttons on the controller, reset my router (All of this was at the directions of an EA or MS employee, I dun remember...) So basically before I even had the game fully installed, I was already pissed off and confused.
Second Issue, game crashes, A LOT more than BF3 did. In the first 24 hours of playing, I probably had 4 completely xbox lockups, just black screen or a frozen screen of the game.
It's pretty bad, I own a LOT of 360 games, NONE of them crash and freeze the xbox like this game does.
SO then I decided to play the SP, get all the weapons and dogtags, etc, I spent a couple days burning through them on hard mode, grabbing all the collectables along the way, everything is peachy. For about a week my awards showed all of them as completed, all I had left was to start busting out MP to get to the other awards. I get on today and BOOOM! For absolutely no reason that I can tell (it never crashed today yet, and yesterday right before I shut it off I was looking at my awards, they were still there...) everything is gone, all of my SP awards, dogtags, and weapons collectibles, it's like the game completely reset.
So I've done a lot of readoing today, turns out this bug was promised to be fixed over a year ago, that it HAS NOT been fixed, and that the other thing I realized is that buying PREMIUM for ANY BF game is COMPLETELY POINTLESS - DO NOT PURCHASE PREMIUM FOR BF GAMES< let me repeat this one more time, then I'll explain why. DO NOT BUY PREMIUM CONTENT FOR BF GAMES EEEVVAAARRRR!!!!!!
There is LITERALLY no point, besides the guns you can get, but HONESTLY, even pimped out, the stats are pretty much the same, so the guns ARE Not really worth the price of DLC either. AND HERE is why: NO ONE PLAYS ANY OF THE DLC CONTENT (There ARE a few servers that OCCASIONALLY have people on, but really, the only DLC content that gets regular play is the SA stuff, the map remakes of BF3, and even they are EMPTY most of the time, I've been trying to get into a DLC game for 3 days now, and I've found two, that had around 8 players on max, and fell apart rather quickly.
My overall experience with BF4 so far is pretty terrible, this game should not have been released in the condition that it was in, I'm really suprised EA and or DICE did not get sued heavily over this. They deserve to be (EA probably I'm assuming)
In the future, EA / DICE, w/e, maybe one of your people will read this and realize that even the hardcore players / fans like myself are getting pretty fn sick of this incomplete buggy garbage.
I love the game, besides these bugs, which completely break immersion, and just make the game feel rushed, and like my satisfaction as the purchaser of said product is greatlly reduced because I feel like I've purhcased a half a$$ product...
I probably won't be buying anymore games for EA / DICE, I've said this before, but that was before I had to spend 3 days on the phone with tech support just to get the content I bought and paid for working...
I will wait for the next great game company that makes somehting better than BF and actually supports / tests their product.
