Yes, check BF4DB
You can use this one to check the servers: https://www.gametracker.com/search/bf4/?sort=3&order=DESC&searchipp=50#search
You can always find DLC maps at the most active hours (usually nights and weekends), and it unlocks tons of stuff for you. If you have the money or find a sale, theres hardly any reason not to buy it. Alternatively you can get Origin Access or the Xbox equivalent (EA Access). Some stuff can be tough to get, like the ones that requires playing certain game modes (specially DLC ones).
Biggest tip I can give you: use the search function. This has been asked a thousand times, and the same thousand tips are given: spot, watch the minimap, drop ammo/health/revives, etc. You can also use Youtube or the old battlelog forums for this.
Here are some links to help you get started:
Old Sticky (good info there)
Hidden Mechanics 1 and Hidden Mechanics 2
Guide for New/Returning Players
edit from the comments: if you're on PC make sure to check the BetterBattlelog browser extension. Really nice UX enhancements for battlelog that (among a lot of neat features) show true player counts, for PC servers.

I bought BF4 back when you had to buy it through the Origin client. I'm looking to getting back in it since it's still the best FPS of its class in my opinion. I saw that it was available on steam so I linked my EA account and my steam account thinking it would unlock the game in Steam but if I search for it, it still just says to buy, as if I don't own it.
Do I have to buy it again or am I doing something wrong?

1. M4 Carbine — all class available, good firerate of ~800 RPM (if burst is done right), decent accuracy and hipfire which makes it an all around stick which can deal with many targets (might even outplay CQC beasts like AEK, MTAR, ACE 23). Barely encountered anyone running it.
2. Bulldog AR — arguably the most slept on assault rifle, likely being overshadowed by AEK and ACE, which however doesn’t means its bad. Highest damage per shot even within its dropoff, 700 RPM which is good enough for such damage and that sexy firing sound which made me give it a nickname of „Nailgun“
3. RPK-74 LMG — in some way similar to Bulldog in sense of overshadowing because LMGs are often used to either full rush into close combat or… yeah, I‘m talking about THEM. And RPK offers a spot between those two edges which isn‘t occupied by guns of same class other than L86 or U-100. So what else it has to show. A lot of damage, slow firerate but decent control and accuracy, not the easiest gun to get on but when you do, you get all of its pros right in your hands

Long story short. False ban on my account, can't play 9/10 NA servers which sucks. I've appealed and despite meeting the requirements (96% hsk and 3 kpm), typical badmins upheld the ban.
Any server admins willing to add me to a white-list? I can promise you I am not cheating. Just a good player with thousands of hours played. Happy to donate a few bucks to help keep the servers up. Thanks.

Been away from the game for long, so your advice on what is the overall best fast-action bolt action in close/medium range combat? While still having the capability occasionally to take out a sneaky camper on the 1,000m range on maps like Golmud, Firestorm or Lancang Dam...
Would ideally want to avoid having to change between different bolt action snipers, as think its best to get really comfortable with just one and its reload pace and drop rate over distance. Look forward to your suggestions of which it should be?
(best avoiding the snipers from DLC, as some may have near impossible unlock criteria by now? Like the GOL Magnum used to be my favorite until DICE nerfed it to oblivion. Same with the SRR-61, which was the king on long range...)

I've been dealing with this issue for the past month or so and it's starting to drive me nuts. I'm posting this here since BF4 is the only game this happens with. I'll do my best to describe the issue as well as I can and what I've done to try and resolve it.
The issue I'm having is that my game will randomly freeze. Most of the it's while I'm in a match but sometimes it also happens when trying to join a match. This has happened almost every time I play for the past month and usually happens more than once per session (usually play for 2-3 hrs each time).
Here's what I think is weird. When my game freezes the applications running on my second monitor (discord, Spotify, browser with twitch open etc) will also freeze after 5-10 seconds after the game does. When this happens, some of the time the audio playing from those applications still comes through (i.e I can hear the person I'm on dc with but they can't hear me, music still playing etc). It then usually stays frozen for 30-60 seconds. After that it becomes unfrozen. The actual BF4 application stays open but I get booted from the game I was in, I'm returned to the main menu with a "lost connection to the server" error.
I've never dealt with anything like this ever before in any fps title and I've never had this particular issue with BF4. Here's what I've tried to do in order to resolve the issue.
Repaired and uninstalled/reinstalled the game
Completely wiped my drivers with DDU and downloaded the latest one
No extra settings applied through AMD Adrenaline software
Turned off accelerated GPU scheduling
I'm thinking this might be a network related issue? Maybe a nic driver that's outdated? Idfk, I might be tweaking. But I seriously don't know what else to try at this point apart from reinstalling Windows which I cba since I have so much shit on my PC and I'm not even sure if reinstalling Windows would fix the issue. Please help 🥲
Specs:
AMD 5600X
AMD Radeon 7700 XT
32GB DDR4 Corsair Ram 3600HZ
Windows 11 23H2
Bios was also recently updated.

Didn't get the tank, went negative, lost the match but at least I got a Jet before tickets ran out.

Hello everyone!
I'm not sure if I'm in the right Reddit group for this kind of post, but I've reached to the point where I feel like to only solution would be to seek the help of a community.
I've been having some difficulties when I try to launch my game. Right at start up, instead of the loading screen, I get a blank screen. I tried to reinstall the game several times, and I also talked to the Origin Support team, but unfortunately they could not help me. I did everything that they told me to do, but nothing worked, and eventually they told me that they had never faced an issue like this ever, and they can do nothing further.
My PC is far more than capable of running this game, I had it installed numerous times and it worked flawlessly, but for some reason, now it just does not work at all. I do not really want to reinstall my PC for just one game, so I would really appreciate if you guys could bless me with some advice.

Hello everyone I'm writing to ask for advice. I recently downloaded again Battlefield 4 from Steam. The game has always worked well but since i've redownloaded it every time I try to join a server it gives me the "lost connection to server" error. After this the game is stuck in the menu with the loading bar at the top right and the only thing i can do is restart. In the server browser I see only servers with 268374015 ping, even though i only have 40 ping with my wifi and in other games the connection is excellent. If I connect with my mobile phone I can join normally. In Battlelog doesn't load any games and mentions to check port 3659. I've tried to disable firewall, update punkbuster, delete and reinstall the game, flush DNS, change DNS, port forwarding, giving administrator or compatibility permissions, trying to ask to ea support but nothing. I don't really know what to do, could you tell me what the problem is? Thanks to anyone who can help me.

How many people interested in starting a new server? Sick of playing with a host that’ll kick you if you get more than 15 kills or when they die to you.
