This game has already been around for a while, I am wondering if it's still worth getting for its multiplayer.

How many players are online in average?

If you have BF3, stick to it, it's better.
Played bf4 for a few hours (30.... against 1k on Bf3) and.. meh, Not the same feeling, you know? I think the game has lots of useless shit, and it's very buggy. Wouldnt recomment you to buy it. BF3 I would, awesome game :P

Well...I don't have BF3, so I can't really compare them. If I am going to get BF, I would be spending most of my time playing multiplayer, which I think there are a lot of people playing BF3 by now...

About BF4, does it have patches that can fix bugs? I mean...games usually have patches later on

By the end of january they released a patch, a huge one. They fixed some of the netcode and weapon ballance. But still meh. Probably they will release many patches. Bf3 when launched had several bugs too, they released many server updates, and everytime they'd release a DLC, few days before, it had a patch to fix ballances and some bugs. When the cicle of the game was complee, when the last DLC came out, the game was very pleasant to be played. I think this would happen to BF4, but we'll have to wait for it to happen. Currently, BF4 is the only Multiplayer game I am playing. Bf3, for me, is kinda boring now... since the humble bundle it became a noob land :P, few times I got a really good match...

But like some said bellow, BF4 is like a beta so far. They released a game before it was REALLY ready, we just have to wait for the patches eheheh

so there should be a group of people waiting for BF4 to be "offical" released?

What I am wondering right now if that...are there still a lot of people playing BF4 now? I don't want to get the game and realize after that it's not easy to find a game to play...

By the way, thanks for the detailed explaination :)

Bf4 servers are full, there are maaany people playing. Today I saw a server with 18 people in the queue to join the server :P. Not all of them are this full, just an exemple.

I think that all the battlefield fans that would buy the already bought it. http://goo.gl/Wdl7CC(Don't know how to make it clicky :P) Here, take a look at the server list at this very moment, filtered for normal/north america servers. You should not be worried about being alone ehhehe

did you remember when BF3 started to be less populated? Like...how long after the game released?

Few months before BF4 came out. Dice release DLCs every 3 months with 4 maps each and diferent gameplay modes (some of them died few time after being released, like tank superiority mode, but others, like capture the flag, are still being played). End game, the last DLC, was released on march/2013, after that dice turned their focus to BF4. I played the game until december/2013, in christmas I got BF4 eheh
Bf3 isn't unpopulated, the point is that the population is... well, how do I put this?... noob :P. The humble bundle did this, I guess. In many matches one team got stucked at their base in the beggining and couldn't move anymore... 30min killing enemies at their base, not fun and boring. I play BF4 now to change the envirorment, after playing bf3 for 2 years. eheheh

I assumed you mean bug fixes?

But if I wait for any longer, would I still be able to play multiplayer easily?

Your argument it's stupid,too stupid to be honest.
Maybe you are confusing Battlefield (dev. EA + DICE) whit Call of Duty (dev. Infinity Ward)

Its was a joke, meaning that the second they shit out all the dlc for bf3... bf4 came out...

EA are legendary for dropping game support in the blink of an eye.

Since they made BF more like CoD, that's possible.

So far I have liked BF4 more than BF3. I don't know why but I just like it more. I have had BF3 since release and I just didn't get into it so I have played only a little. BF3 and BF4 are almost the same game. I would not buy BF4 for full price and you should be able to get BF3 cheap from Steamtrades for example and wait for BF4 to go sale.
