why so few players?

[D4R1U5H]

seriously it doesn't make sense

[SpicyKitten]

Because Wiple doesn't promote this game.

They must to pay Youtubers or streamers to promote IronSight. Aeria did this and it worked.

[KiraJava]

It does when you realize there's no communication, toxic in game community, bad netcode, bad weapon balance, no bugfixes, no real updates just more cosmetics for sale...

[FidelCastrol]

Because game is dead even before release.
Few players, lots of abusers.

[Kirilla]

heh battlefield 4 goes free for all twitch prime users. and yes optimization and netcode are good

[Loco]

Let's not forget that cheaters don't get permabanned either. If they're using a trigger script, all they get is a warning, maybe a temporary ban.

When I can analyze the audio in acid and all the shots have the exact same delay between them... that's not a good player, that's a good trigger script. Developers that don't do anything about the handful of people that are using cheats, just calling them good... yeah, that's another reason there's no players.

Here's a link to go with Kirilla's post! https://gaming.amazon.com/loot/battlefield4

And you don't actually need twitch, just an amazon prime account.

well i got permabanned without any evidence of third party software. i got to admit i used the donkey kong cheat in goldeneye 64 years back ...maybe they found out about it. love how they treat long-time supporters here...people that advertised the game, played fair, bought ♥♥♥♥

[V75Hästen]

they need to change netcode . but they wanna fix the current isnteed of changing the connetction process . thats sad. the game gonna die if they dont change that very now...

[76561198110242365]

No promotion....i found this game because of a youtube video released in 2019...thats terrible

[typeshi]

u cant even play with 3+ with your friends lmao its stupid asf we as 5 started playing it until we realized we can't play with 3+

[Hydralisk]

The random respawn have to be changed imo
Spawn kills and death by the back is annoying af and people give up on the game
since mosto of maps are mirror the sides shouldnt change

[Rechlome]

Discovered this game today and EU servers are good. Finding a match in no time. Also, love the game. Really takes me back about 10 years. Gameplay just feel simple and awesome.

[Jafarson]

Net-code major issues
Cheaters
Lack of content and changes (still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weapon customization)
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of game modes for the daily 800 players (split these to servers)
Matchmaking queue cause of that
and devs that don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about suggestions of majority of the players and only listening to that minor people who instantly buys ♥♥♥♥♥♥ uwu-owo ♥♥♥♥ skins as fast as they add it to the shop.

[Terzu]

because there is 1 of 10 players play without hacks.

[Mr. Shmoove™]

People keep screaming cheaters..the amount of cheaters in this game is no where near where the billions of post on this subject say it is. The mast majority of people who you think cheat don't cheat it's just how horrendously bad the netcode is in this game. You get shot behind walls, and people shoot you dead before they turn the corner to the insane peekers advantage and laggy desync issues. Seriously. There are some hacks but this game isn't littered with them.

And it's not why there are so few players. Wiple prefer to nickle and dime you with skins and loot boxes with terrible rates rather than fix bugs, issues and overall balance that have been outstanding for YEARS. They literally just finally fixed performance with the beta rendering option. You know how long the game has run like total dog**** for some people? Since day one. Hard to take the game nor the devs seriously when they'll update loot boxes and things that generate money instantly and critical problems have gone completely unfixed for so long.

That's why people left.

[Vergel]

A lot of cheaters.
Seems that they not get banned because they spend money in the game.
