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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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!

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!

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)
