On the flipside, some of the smaller maps might actually feel too intense. It puts the Battlefield back in Battlefield. On the PC, Battlefield 4 is full of this stuff. It hits you that, on the Xbox 360, Battlefield 4 multiplayer rarely had the big, cinematic, epic feel you get from racing to a checkpoint on a quadbike while tank shells shatter the trees around you, or that you get from a last ditch defence against a squad of enemy troops where victory or defeat come down to the last few health points. Tanks, helicopters and other armoured death machines seem to be everywhere, and the result is a game with a lot more boom, bang and bluster. Of course, it’s not so easy to score cheap points by capturing unattended control points, but then this is Battlefield, not Cower Near A Flag or Camp Out With a Sniper Rifle. You seem to spend more time with squadmates (there’s more chance that one will be alive next time you respawn) and there are more skirmishes going on around the various control points. Maps like Flood Zone, Siege of Shanghai and Lancang Dam, which seemed vast and oddly empty on the current gen consoles, come alive on PC. Finally, the sheer numbers and enthusiasm of the players make online multiplayer, and specifically Conquest, so much more enjoyable. You’re experiencing Battlefield 4 as it was designed to be experienced. Secondly, the performance issues – providing you have some half-decent hardware – are a thing of the past. Firstly, Battlefield 4 goes from being a good-looking console game to an awesome-looking PC title. Yet three things will strike you almost immediately. The single-player campaign is virtually unchanged beyond the cosmetics, and the feel of the multiplayer action is broadly similar. It’s an exaggeration to say that the PC version of Battlefield 4 is an entirely different kettle of fish from the Xbox or PS3 versions.
