Battlefield 4 Singleplayer Review | The Game Effect

War. Whether it has changed or not, one thing is certain: people really enjoy it in games. Publishers love that because it makes them money, so they continue to release a multitude of military games, flooding the market with so much gray and brown that you’d think it was the bottom of an officer’s boot. With such excess and the strong competition of Call of Duty, can Battlefield 4 stand up as a solid single-player experience? Is it still valid on a console rapidly approaching its final curtain?

lol, click bait much ??

I won't even bother clicking and read it. Bf4 on pc looks and plays great. definitely not a 5 out of 10. If it is then c.o.d is a 2 out of 10 in single player.

lets_go_gunners4193d ago

Spoken like a true fanboy. No one said anything about cod but you had to right. If you read it you would of seen his points but nah..why would you. Battlefields SP campaign is the worse campaign I've ever had to suffer through because the smart asses over dice decided to lock MP weapons to SP.

MRMagoo1234193d ago

I have BF4 and i havent even played the SP , i have played maybe 3 hours of MP all up lol, in general i dont think this is a very good BF game at all.

I am not sure if its a problem with anyone else but when ever i play a MP game i seem to die in one hit every time , BF3 if i was getting shot i saw the flash of red and i would run for cover, in BF4 as soon as i get an indicator that I am being shot i am already dead with no chance at all at getting cover. Anyone think its maybe lag related or something , i am in Australia but i didnt get this problem at all on BF3, my internet is def fast enough for this game not to lag.

SNACK_SHARK_TROLL4193d ago

@MRMagoo123, Yes I'm having the same problem, it's like everyone is overpowered. I try to play like I did in battlefield 3 (Flanking, distance shooting, strategy), but it's like every time I walk I get killed, maybe it's the levels, because they don't seem to offer as much cover or advantage points like in the pervious BF's games. You're like always in the open. Or maybe I just lost my touch in the battlefield series, and suck. The game still has stupid amount of glitches.

@MRMAgoo123 & SNACK_SHARK_TROLL

It's not just you guys. I've been trying out MP now that it's more stable (originally I couldn't even play it, hence the review being singleplayer only). I know exactly what you're talking about. So far only two maps or so seem built for squad tactics, the rest are more like a level from Crysis, but you're one of the regular mooks instead of the one in the super suit.

At least there's always Battlefield 2142 to play, right? I think there's one Russian server for that that's been modded to hold 100 players maximum now.

porkChop4193d ago

So your reason for the SP not being a 5/10 is just because it has good graphics and plays well? Yeah, nevermind the atrocious story and writing, or the piss-poor level design, or the completely forgettable characters, or the games unacceptable length. Nope, it gets a free pass because it looks and plays nice. Get real, man.

I for one am loving the fact that in the move to next gen, reviewers seem to be getting much more fair, honest, and realistic with their reviews. They aren't accepting last gen games with next gen graphics.

Paradigmthefallen4192d ago

Thank you. I'm glad you count TGE amongst those ranks, as we really do want things to be back to the days of honesty and fairness. I hope our editorials and reviews continue to please!

Fluke_Skywalker4192d ago

Seriously? I actually wouldn't give the campaign 5/10, it's absolute garbage! The graphics are awesome, that's absolutely all there is good to say about it. The story is rubbish the dialogue is a joke! It's just utter crap!

Ashby_JC4193d ago

I was surprised with the sp. Want liking it early on..but middle to the end I enjoyed. It was very very short though. If give it a 6/10 (I liked it)

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.

-Foxtrot1175d ago

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

gamesftw2501174d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface1173d ago

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

PapaBop1174d 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.

Inverno1174d 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

XiNatsuDragnel1175d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps1174d ago

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

Pudge1028881174d ago (Edited 1174d 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

pr33k331174d 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.

Pudge1028881174d 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_D3TH1174d 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.
