This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Battlefield 4 for PlayStation 3
Battlefield 4 for PlayStation 3 combines a military single-player campaign with the large-scale battlefields for which the series is known. In the story you play Sergeant Daniel Recker of Tombstone Squad. After a failed mission in Baku, the unit becomes involved in a conflict between the United States, Russia and China. The route runs from Shanghai to warships, flooded areas and military bases, with infantry, vehicles and collapsing environments.
During the campaign you assign squad targets, mark enemies and switch between found weapons. Open areas let you begin an attack from another position, while tight buildings demand more direct firefights. Score performance and hidden weapons encourage replaying missions. The campaign remains locally playable; the continued operation of original online features, Battlelog and servers is not promised.
The multiplayer was designed around classes, vehicles and changing maps. Buildings can collapse, a dam can flood an area and Commander functions support a team remotely. The PS3 version has smaller player counts and technical differences from PlayStation 4 and PC, so features of those versions are not attributed to this disc. Download expansions and Premium content are not automatically part of the offered standard edition.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Battlefield 4 for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Battlefield 4
DICE developed Battlefield 4 with Frostbite 3 and Electronic Arts released it in October 2013 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC; PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions followed. The game built on Battlefield 3 and tried to bring multiplayer features such as squad commands, open combat spaces and vehicles more clearly into the single-player campaign. Recker and Tombstone Squad provide the continuous line through that story.
Levolution was the name for large and small changes during multiplayer matches. A skyscraper could collapse and alter routes, sightlines and objectives, while other maps used storms, flooding or destructible cover. The series retained Conquest and Rush and added Obliteration, among others. On PlayStation 3 the design remained recognisable, but the generation imposed different limits from later consoles on player count, resolution and map presentation.
After launch, Battlefield 4 received many updates, balance changes and downloadable expansions. That history explains why online footage may show features absent from an unchanged standard disc. This description covers the original PS3 game and the campaign that can start without a current network service. PS4 upgrade codes, Premium rights and old promotions were tied to time and accounts and are not guaranteed with a used copy.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Battlefield 3 uses the same combination of campaign, classes and vehicle combat, but Battlefield 4 gives squads more orders in the story and makes changing multiplayer maps more prominent. Both offer modern warfare; Battlefield 4 extends destruction, water combat and Commander support. The campaign also remains playable independently of online progression.
Battlefield Hardline trades international warfare for police, criminals and chases. Battlefield 4 uses tanks, jets and military units on larger battlefields. Both run on Frostbite and combine a campaign with class-based multiplayer, but Hardline plays more with arrests and robberies. Hardline deliberately limits its scale to urban crime.
Call of Duty: Ghosts sends the player through tightly directed missions with rapid set pieces and smaller competitive maps. Battlefield 4 more often provides vehicles, open routes and destructible environments. Both have a campaign and online shooter structure, but Battlefield puts more emphasis on squads and combined arms. The vehicles also change the pace of every fight.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter follows special forces in a linear story with short, focused firefights. Battlefield 4 likewise uses modern weapons, but opens combat areas and adds vehicles and large-scale map changes. Warfighter is more compact; Battlefield 4 places more systems side by side. That makes replaying and improvising noticeably different.
Killzone 3 offers futuristic weapons, vehicles and a cinematic war against the Helghast. Battlefield 4 stays in a near-modern setting and uses recognisable military equipment. Both deliver large action scenes, but Battlefield 4 supports freer squad and vehicle choices where Killzone 3 is more tightly directed. The realistic setting also determines the available weapons.
