Bugs, crashes, complications with the game

Are bugs, crashes and associated problems which happened to (to my knowledge) many players (mostly pc version) after the game's release noteworthy enough to be included in this article? I saw one article about it on pc gamer and I myself have had issues that made the game unplayable until a recent patch. 188.23.194.226 (talk) 13:40, 20 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I find that these problems should be mentioned since many gamers have been very annoyed with the forced by the too early (IMO) release. All people I have spoken with have had crashes, lockups and general issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.227.189.9 (talk) 12:03, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just added something about these crashes in the reception paragraph. As usual, reviewers for AAA games like this one only mention how the game is great, critics from "trusted" sites often come after a lot of players have encountered game breaking issues.

Be warned, I just discovered that what I added (which was fully sourced by "trusted" sites) was removed some days ago without any reason by another editor. I re-added it, but it could be removed again Hervegirod (talk) 15:25, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Battlefield 4 Writer

Can we please add on the fact that former Modern Warfare writer, Jesse Stern was the writer of Battlefield 4?

Single Player Campaign Progress Bug

I think this bug is serious enough to warrant mention. My previous edit to include it was removed, which I have replied to here.

As I mentioned in my reply to GoneIn60, the article's current wording surrounding bugs and glitches implies this was only at release, when quite obviously, it's not. A bug that deletes players single player progress, affects all platforms, has thousands upon thousands of complaints across both social media sites and forums, and has yet to be fixed after 6 months of commercial availability seems serious enough to warrant mention. 87.242.160.151 (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ban In China?

I'm pretty sure this isn't banned in mainland China, at least not anymore. I'm actually playing BF4 as I'm writing this on a server in mainland China, and the Chinese users are telling me that it is only illegal to play this game if you are under 18. I'm even playing the China Rising DLC maps with them. This Chinese server is one of several I noticed in the server browser.
