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 4
Battlefield 4 for PlayStation 4 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.
Multiplayer was designed around classes, vehicles and changing maps. Buildings can collapse, a dam can flood an area and Commander features support a team from a distance. The PlayStation 4 edition supports the larger battlefields and presentation of the newer console generation. Download expansions, Premium content and old promotional codes are not automatically included with this standard edition.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL 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 4 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 in November. 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 form the continuous thread through that story.
Levolution was the name for major and minor 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 other modes. On PlayStation 4, the console version could provide larger online battles and smoother presentation than the previous generation.
After release, Battlefield 4 received many updates, balance changes and downloadable expansions. That history explains why online footage may show features that are not present on an unchanged standard disc. This description covers the original PlayStation 4 game and the campaign that can be started without a current network service. Premium rights, download codes and old promotions were account-bound and are not guaranteed with a used copy.
Similar games for PlayStation 4
Battlefield Hardline runs on PlayStation 4 with the same Frostbite foundation, classes and vehicles, but trades international warfare for police and criminals. Battlefield 4 uses tanks, fighter jets and larger military fronts. Both have a self-contained campaign; Hardline adds arrests and evidence, while Battlefield 4 places more emphasis on combined arms and changing battlefields.
Battlefield 1 moves the series on PlayStation 4 to the First World War and tells several separate War Stories. Battlefield 4 follows one modern squad through a continuous conflict. Both allow room for vehicles, open routes and destructible environments, but their weapons, pace and historical context differ greatly. Battlefield 1 also chooses an anthology instead of one protagonist.
Call of Duty: Ghosts takes players through tightly directed missions on PlayStation 4 with fast set pieces and smaller competitive maps. Battlefield 4 more often provides vehicles, open routes and destructible environments. Both offer a single-player campaign alongside network play, but Battlefield places more emphasis on squads and combined arms. The pace therefore shifts more strongly between infantry, boats and armoured vehicles.
Advanced Warfare uses a future vision on PlayStation 4 with exoskeletons, boost movement and smart grenades. Battlefield 4 stays closer to contemporary military technology and lets vehicles and map changes shape the battle. Both have spectacular campaigns, but Advanced Warfare guides the player more tightly through scenes while Battlefield 4 more often allows a choice of attack angle.
Killzone: Shadow Fall offers futuristic weapons, a controllable OWL drone and broader infiltration areas on PlayStation 4. Battlefield 4 uses recognisable modern equipment, squads and controllable military vehicles. Both feature large action scenes and technical effects, but Killzone builds a science-fiction world while Battlefield 4 presents its conflict as a near-future geopolitical crisis.
