Anybody else disappointed by BF4 multiplayer on PS4 ?

[teragon]

I found a ps4 in a store out of pure luck a 3 weeks ago, and having previously enjoyed BF3 on PS3 and BF2 on PC, I spent my remaining 65€ (that's 90$ mind you) on what I thought would be hours of pure adrenaline and fun.
Now, for the record I did not even try the solo mode, I don't buy FPS for that, I almost exclusively play online, TDM, Conquest or Rush.
Well it must be the first time I seriously regret buying a game. Every chance I give it, I end up wishing I could swap it for something else, possibly Ghost since I usually also enjoy TDM in hardcore on the latest COD games (I like the speed and reflexes it requires, almost like an arcade game).

Seriously, between the lag in conquest 64 players (not my connection, widely known bug on PS4), the players I shot multiple times killing me while they have literally 0 health, the god awful defibrillator that takes forever to be effective and therefore the lack of any revive on the field (can't blame them, I tried too as I enjoyed playing medic on BF3, but nobody has the time to charge the damn thing before getting shot), the objectives way too close to each others and small map on general, wonky hit detection at times, especially regarding head shots, the exaggerated range on most assault rifles ... And the list goes on ...
It just ends up being frustrating most of the time. If some of you actually enjoy it, how the hell do you do it ?

You dislike the range on BF4 guns? Don't COD guns have infinite straight line range?

Anyways, after the last update I've rarely had lag. When a leveloution occurs there is some issues, some sound drops, 0 health. So I have been enjoying myself on PS4, for the most part.

Slightly upset with choppers effectiveness. But I do go some matches without dying in them, so it can't be as unbalanced as everyone thinks.

I've heard a bunch of bad things about the launch of this game and crashing issues, mostly on the PC, it seems like EA keeps laying eggs at launch lol. It sounds like they're getting things working better than Simcity.

Your first problem was getting it for a console. The 0 health thing is on the PC too and it's a bug, they don't really have 0% health. Most people don't get how to use the defibs. You don't have to fully charge them. I usually charge it for a couple seconds and revive, which doesn't give full health, then throw down a medpack. There's still some bugs, but it's fun. I've had a few crashes, but overall I haven't really noticed many bugs.

Yeah the range on the assault rifle annoys me when I use the recon class with a sniper rifle. If I have a hard time hitting someone relatively far, I don't appreciate getting shot by him and his full auto assault rifle. I don't get how they can even aim properly while I barely see them in my scope !
i'm going to check for updates, but yesterday it still lagged heavily regardless of the decor, mostly when I run. I have the sound bug too, when a match start none of the vehicles make a sound, but that doesn't really bother, doesn't hinder the gameplay like the rest of the bugs.

dont get me wrong, I did enjoy a few matches, and I appreciate the fact that recon has c4 now, not powerless anymore against vehicles, but I still feel cheated of at least 40$. That game was not ready to launch clearly.

edit : about the defib, if you do the short charge then launch a medipack, you're still not at the 100 points you should get for saving a fellow soldier, not to mention that staying over a medi pack right on the spot where you died is suicide.

So, what's the single player campaign like? I'm itching to play something as i'm pretty bored with Killzone......

Oh, BF4 has me good and steamed... So much that I haven't played it in weeks. I was on a mission on an aircraft carrier, to continue on, all I have to do is climb a simple ladder... So I did...and as soon as I got to the top....WOOOOSH! I was about a half mile in the air, than falling to my doom. SPLAT, dead. Reload checkpoint....a quarter mile in the air...*falling whistle* splat... reload checkpoint...the same thing, over and over and over. I had to start from beginning of the damn mission... I turned the game off and walked away.

Completable in 3hours...nothing spectacular. Multiplayer is the big draw.
