Battlefield 4 Review

I only played this on the ps4 since that's the only next gen system I have and I don't have a PC powerful enough to play games. There is no difference between the ps4, Xbox one, and PC version. But it is different on current gen because it can't handle the 64 players online and I believe that's the only difference besides the graphics. Now for the review:

Single Player



    This game is broken. I am really getting to lose faith in EA. After that long time making the game and today's technology you should not be releasing a broken game! I have not had any trouble with the online but I have faced many problems playing the story mode. First I'll talk about the campaign. DON'T buy the game if you want a good campaign! First I'll talk about the pros: The story is better then the last game, the graphics are amazing, and the acting is very good. Ok, now for the cons: The story is still not very good and is still confusing. The actors ,even though very good, don't have a good script. The script is so bad that they will get annoying after a while. And your character doesn't even talk! Why is he silent? I don't understand! You are supposed to be the leader but how are you supposed to be the leader when you don't talk! This leads to awkward moments when your squad calls out commands that you should be calling. Oh yes, I do like the gun lockers where you can choose any gun you have unlocked in the whole game. The guns are very good and sound and look very realistic. Another positive about the story mode is that you get to drive vehicles unlike the last campaign. This leads to more open areas where you actually get to make your own decisions; it reminds me of the Chyrsis 3 open areas. The truth is: it's just another shooter. They could have made the campaign so much better but it looks like they just didn't care. Now for the major complaint: IT WONT SAVE! So I haven't even beaten the game. I played the first 3 missions then after a few days I put the disc in to continue but I have to start over. I played through it a second time and got pretty far during this play through and it was saving. Then I came back the next day looking to finish the campaign and guess what It didn't save. That's when I decided not to play through it a third time. If it was a great campaign I wouldn't mind playing it. I probably replayed Uncharted 2 10 times as well as Assassins creed 2 and I am on my third play through of Fallout 3. But I didn't want to waste my time on a mediocre campaign. While I was playing through there was also many bugs. Assassins Creed Black Flag has bugs but they are little things that you laugh at, maybe press the share button then move on. Battlefield 4 bugs include having to turn off the whole system to get it working again. Why doesn't EA forget about the story mode and just make a multiplayer game because the online portion is outstanding! Or they could hire someone that's actually good at single player while they focus on multiplayer. If it wasn't for the bugs the single player would be getting a 5 but because these bugs are completely unacceptable Battlefield 4 single player gets a 2.0 out of 10.

Multiplayer



Multiplayer is what people get Battlefield for, and they won't be disappointed. I didn't really get into Battlefield 3 multiplayer and wasn't very good at it. But this game is a different story... I love it. There are still bugs but I never found any major ones. Many people were talking about how they encountered mess ups in the multiplayer. I have been playing for a month and never came across anything major. Maybe I got a good copy but this review is based off my gameplay experience. I was utterly amazed at everything that was going on at the same time. You see a jet crash right in front of you after you get done shooting a couple people. Far away there's a helicopter shooting at enemies bellow all while a skyscraper is falling to rubble. This multiplayer is truly the next gen experience. The graphics look so realistic as well as the guns and sounds. But the most impressive is how much you can interact with the environment. From blowing up bridges so vehicles can't cross to destroying a whole building in order to kill the people on the second floor.The ranking system is the same as the last battlefield game except that it takes much more experience. The good thing is that you don't have to be good to rank up. As long as you are a helpful addition to the team you will get points. This includes helping to capture an area, giving suppression fire, getting exists, and giving health. Another addition is the squad commanders who can order you to defend and attack certain locations. It's really good they finally brought this system back. There are all types of modes to play like team deathmatch, domination, and squad deathmatch. They are all ok but not nearly as good as the main Battlefield experience: Conquest. There is also another mode called test range which was a excellent addition. You are basically put on a map ,all by yourself, with a number of guns and vehicles. Almost like a training area. This is the perfect place to practice flying jets and helicopters before you get into the real thing. I only wish you could play test range with a friends. All the maps are really diverse and put you in a different setting every time. Each map will give you different ways to reach your objective. The best part is the blockbuster set pieces you will encounter about half way through the match. These will drastically change the battle. Either by creating a flood or destroying the biggest skyscraper. I enjoyed the multiplayer much more then the campaign and it made it a worthwhile buy. Battlefield 4 multiplayer gets a 9.0 out of 10!
