Yes, you can run Battlefield 4.

Yes, you can run BF4 on your i5-4690k without a GPU. It will be limited by the CPU and memory, but it should work fine for a basic version.
However, at low or medium configurations under 60 FPS (optimal at 720p)
I tested it on my 4700hq at 1080p and it works fine. However, you can get the best experience with a lower resolution like 720p.
I don't have a GPU because it's not necessary for my current functions.
You're welcome! I tested it on 1920x1080p at a steady 33FPS, and it performs even better. The configurations I used along with the user.cfg adjustments and the command "-GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60+" in my launcher worked well. Of course, I've boosted my iGPU to 1500Mhz and set my RAM to the top level available. Without an overclock, you should be able to run smoothly at lower resolutions on all settings! If you're curious, I have a list of games I'm currently playing and testing with HD4600 graphics on my profile. I'd be happy to try more titles for you if you have them. Let me know what you think before making a purchase! *I'm sorry, I can only use my iGPU, so I've had to work with what I have. Not everyone can afford them or there might be other factors...*
