Bf4 still uses Origin/the EA app as its launcher unless you specifically bought the steam version

Yeah, sorry, I've been up since 4 AM for work, pretty much take the Steam player count and quadruple it for Gamepass, Steam, Epic and EA. So about 4k players on pc

No because bf4 has persistent servers and admins. Haven't played since release of bf6 but it was never hard to find a full server running dlc maps at random hours

I remember playing bf4 on console, and there were multiple cases in which I met cheaters during the years 2023 and 2024. Since I haven't played it in years or experienced it on pc, I have no idea what the game's current state is. Would you still recommend bf4 on pc? I have been considering it for a while now.

I wouldnt for the single player but the multi is still good. Progression and unlocks will probably be a pain for some items, especially DLC ones where you need to play modes that were dead a week after release to fulfill the criteria. However you can probably find an empty server running the mode/map you need and when I last played there were still servers dedicated to unlock grinding. You also probably wont see the full map roster for a while of playtime but the game goes down to like 3$ with all the dlc on sale pretty regularly so it's not like you're wasting money getting the premium version over basic.
 
Welp, since it was on sale, I finally bought and played Battlefield 4.

Putting aside the, honestly, pretty crappy campaign, I can see why people like the game. I admit, the scale of the multiplayer matches is quite a spectacle, and even if you go negative in your K/D ratio (like I tend to do), there’s still a role for you to play.

That said though, as someone who is absolutely crappy at using the vehicles, and tends to stick to playing an infantry role, it is rather frustrating to constantly be killed by them over and over, necessitating you play engineer just to have a shot at taking them down.

That, and how tedious it is to level up and gain new weapons and attachments. It seems like a ploy to get the players to invest in those battle packs tbh.

With that said, I am overall liking the game. Just not as much as I would’ve hoped. Course, that could just be because I’m a complete noob who can’t control the air-based vehicles properly to save my life. XD

BF4 is THE vehicle whore game btw all im gonna say is good luck to a new player trying to drive anything
 
Bad Company 2 was released in early March 2010.
Medal of Honor came out in October 2010 (Multiplayer was basically BC2 Afghanistan).
Vietnam DLC in December 2010.
Battlefield 3 came out late October 2011.

WTF?

This timeline has been shrunk. It feels like there was at least another couple of years in there.

I haven't heard much about the reboot of Medal of Honor. Its multiplayer I believe was made by Danger Close. Looks to be Battlefield infantry with CoD TTK (time to kill) if that makes sense.

The 2010 Medal of Honor reboot was set in Afghanistan. Danger Close made the single player using the Unreal engine. DICE made the multiplayer using Frostbite.

As a result, the modes looked, felt and played like completely different games. Different levels of quality, different assets, and so forth. The MP looked much better and it really was as if they made a BC2 expansion set in Afghanistan. Genuinely was really good.

In 2012 the sequel, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, came out done completely by Danger Close using Frostbite. I remember the SP being kind of fun and comparable in graphics quality to what DICE was doing. The MP however, was really basic graphics wise for what the engine could do. It looked like an older game than the previous games' MP. It wasn't very good. Whatever team did it, wasn't overly familiar with utilising the engine. It was as if the maps were built in a test form with out the details put in.

Honestly, having only played the single player of both Medal Of Honor reboot games (and only a bit of the MP for 2010), I thought that the campaign of 2010, while nothing to write home about, was pretty decent and did do a good job of capturing the actions of Tier 1 operators and Rangers, along with a surprisingly emotional ending.

Also, funnily enough, while it was all in a cutscene, it also took a jab at the AC-130 mission from Modern Warfare two years before Spec Ops The Line.

Warfighter however? That was one of the most soulless and bland things I’ve ever experienced. It says something that the only notable thing it has is a stealth section done with cars, and one of the most superfluous breaching mechanics ever made. Beyond that, it is one of the most restrictive and unengaging campaigns I’ve ever played, and a huge sign at the time that the Modern Military Shooter genre was reaching the end of its lifecycle.

Best it gave us was this parody song.

I wish I had the original MoH reboot. I've played Warfighter; everything you said about it is true. It ran like molasses, whether in campaign or multiplayer. Only thing I remember about it was its limited edition being sold on clearance weeks after release. It tried to be a movie, then it forgot to be a game.
