Okay, so, assuming the Amazon Black Friday deal is correct, BF4 will be down to $30. Which I can just about afford (started a part-time job last week).
So. Is it worth it? Reading the last couple of pages, it looks like it's all pretty bad, and that the only reason to buy it is because everyone else has, and people are putting up with it rather than going back to BF3. Is that a fair assessment? What are the chances it's actually going to improve any time soon?

10 maps in vanilla is a joke in itself, back in the old times, games used to have more maps + none of them sucked as much as every map in bf3/4 (and they were huuuge vs 100 squre m in bf4) ... plus you had community created maps. If you still had map tools (even without modding capability), they would never sell any expansion pack. Making a map is not that difficult even for a person who does it for fun. If they have a team of dedicated mappers working 8 hours a day, 10 maps seem like nothing... Now dice is trying the "activision way" and selling us "map packs" - 16 new maps... yeah, if there is even 1 semi-good map in those 16, I would be really surprised.

And now it's you who is exaggerating
Btw, I do think the absolute best maps in BF games are in the past. I just don't go around saying every map in BF3/BF4 is crap. There are actually several good maps in BF4 like Flood Zone, Paracel Storm, Dawnbreaker (when they fix the crashes),Goldmud Railway isn't half bad and it's huge (they just need to fix the annoying audio bug), plus I'm sure, sveral of the upcoming maps in the expansions.
You expected to get 26-30 maps on release date? Welcome to the harsh reality where the greedy publishers just can't wait one additional year for the devs to be able to complete all the content you would like to have with a single payment. Either you decide to play that "game" or you just find yourself another hobby. I for one take many factors into account before deciding to buy or not a fresh new "crippled" game, especially when it's multiplayer. Right now I only play 2 mp games, and I don't plan to add any others to the list anytime soon.
So Second Assault is being released in 3 days for XBOX1? When on PC?
4 months
Please tell me you're joking?
No. It's the second expansion, supposedly coming in March 2014. The first one is China Rising coming in about 2 weeks.
EDIT: To be honest, there's no official date yet, just a "Coming Soon" that would only indicate that it's coming after China Rising. So it might be as early as December 15? Who knows

spawn points seem fubar... number of times i spawn at point taken by our squad, and get insta killed.... spawning on squadmates is basically suicide as i die a good 80% of the time whereas in bf3 i surived at least the first 5-10 seconds...
It's because of the below stuff.

Still sucks if your view is black for at least a second
Easiest fix is to remove the black screen
THAT! The fucking black screen is so annoying, whats the purpose of that?
Good that I'm not to onlyone annyed by that. My "fix" was to spawn on friend I see is fired upon and start shooting myself, even if the screen is black. You can control your dude, you just can't see anything, so shooting is at least better than nothing.

I doubt there's spawn protection, I've been killed on the spot a couple of times in recent games.
There is spawn protection, 100% sure. I think 1-2 seconds max.
Yes there is as I've shot enemy and he had squadmate spawn there. One clip and he takes no damage, then as his black screen is gone and he moves could finally kill him. I just don't get why you have to pop the dude on the battlefield before the player can see the world, just do it at the same time. Show world, add "delay player spawn 1-2s" on code and whoa, it works! There is even the timer on the map delaying the spawn, world could already be loading then
