Battlefield 4 – “doubling down on single-player” but “multiplayer itself is worth the money”

OPM: Most games – particularly most modern FPS games – are determined to make you the hero. You’re the one who puts the knife in the bad guy’s eye, you’re the one who defuses the bomb strapped to the little girl’s face, you’re the one who pushes the big red ‘PRESS TO SAVE WORLD’ button. Battlefield doesn’t want to make these concessions: here you’re part of the war machine, playing one part among many.

I'm really more into this game for the online...BF3 I got for my PC and just had a lot of issues of freezing and force closes on only the single player portion. I also had some graphical issues which only showed up in SP as well. It got to the point where I never finished it, I just didn't find it interesting.

These games are meant to be played in multiplayer.

Doing that, every game is different, every situation different, every opponent different and new, all actions and situations and circumstances are new and you must adapt to what is happening.

That is the appeal. That each time a game starts, there is opportunity to gain knowledge, learn something, and adapt your tactics and strategy.

At least in Battlefield.

Well yeah, they have more time to spend on singleplayer since the multiplayer is basically BF3+Commander on new maps. The sad part is that even though it's BF3.5 I'm still going to get it for the multiplayer.... I love the Battlefield series.

Sometimes I don't know the difference beetween a sequal and a .5. What warrants a omg its Game 2.5 and a WOW its Game 3.

Hazmat133882d ago

not gonna lie if games are just coming to multiplayer only then i feel sad for gaming. but im still gonna play the crap out of the storyline for BF4!

thekhurg3882d ago (Edited 3882d ago )

Good news for me. Never been a fan of Battlefield online since I don't like mile long maps with vehicles everywhere. I prefer my multiplayer more along the Killzone style where people are all on the ground and in the action.

At least I know I can rent it for a good single player experience.

younglj013882d ago

I'm sorry please don't compare this game too BF3..BF4 will have 64 players on consoles.Better destruction,more guns,improve customization,levolution,more gadgets..

This is the BF brand that PC gamers have joined for years.Now that PS4/Xbox One can achieve 64 players alone is big news for the franchise....

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot749d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250748d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface748d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop748d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno748d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel749d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps748d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33748d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888748d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH748d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
