BC2 or BF3 should be #1. BF1 is okay but it gets boring very quickly, no way it should be #2.

pandehz2904d ago

Agreed.

BF1 is way too high up the ladder.

Sciurus_vulgaris2904d ago (Edited 2904d ago )

Well I can't make a personal opinion of battlefield games, outside BF4, and BF1. I don't see why BF1, got such good reviews. It was like critics were overly looking its faults, and giving very generous scores.

WeAreLegion2904d ago

Agree with #1. Battlefield 2 is still the best.

USMC_POLICE2904d ago

BF2 MC is way too low, hardline scored higher...no way.

ParanoidFreak2904d ago

Bad Company 2 will always be tops in my book -- I did greatly enjoy 3 & 4 though. I really wish DICE would focus on a BC3. With today's tech it would be spectacular if done right. And BF1 is alright.

Battlefield Amass 25M Players in Last 12 Mos, Next BF One of "Most Ambitious Projects" in EA History

Battlefield series snags over 25 million players in the last 12 months, as EA calls the next entry "one of the most ambitious projects" in their history.

peppeaccardo331d ago

I will never give my money to them again. Showe it up ....

excaliburps331d ago

I hope DICE has learned their lesson and the next BF game is a true-blue Battlefield game. I can handle the live service BS as long as it's not predatory, and the gameplay is good.

Inverno331d ago

Every BF is the most ambitious. Their ambition is to successfully screw over the BF fan base with mtx. They pull you guys with pretty graphics then they reveal their true intentions and screw up lol. EA are sad.

neutralgamer1992331d ago

Every BF game lately has been filled with broken launches and micro transactions. BF4 literally launched unfinished and it yooks them many updates and patches juts yo make it playable and when it became playable they launched a new entry and restarted the whole cycle of rinse and repeat

Inverno330d ago

I've said it before and I'll continue to say it. If BF fans want a modern game then play BF4. It's playable, not broken, content complete, and it's cheap as hell to buy the premium edition. BF4 is practically begging for a resurgence. Don't want modern? play BF1 which is probably their most unique twist on their formula, also cheap as hell to buy, also contemt complete. All their games after BF1 have basically been left to die because they were banking of filling em up with mtx to support em long term but that never happened.

The Battlefield Series Peaked With Bad Company 2

Battlefield 2042, the next entry in DICE's series of big, noisy multiplayer shooters, is set in a grim vision of the future where climate change has irreparably ravaged the planet and everyone is divided, angry, and depressed. So basically like the world today, but with more robot dogs. The series didn't always take itself so seriously, though.

Back in the spring of 2010, EA's flagship studio launched Bad Company 2, a delightfully silly, self-aware shake-up of the series' established formula that not only had an infectious sense of fun, but was a killer FPS in its own right. Some honestly don't think there's been a better Battlefield since.

Nah for me imo was battlefield 3

LucasRuinedChildhood1400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

It depends on what you're looking for. Destruction was far better in BC2 (it was consistently a real gameplay factor) and the maps were better designed for Rush.

Arica Harbour is a good example of a map that would feel very different as a match progressed as buildings around you were getting decimated.

BF3 had planes, bigger maps and the ability to go prone so I'd understand why some would prefer it. They are different.

THEDON82z11399d ago (Edited 1399d ago )

Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the best hands down. I have been craving for that level of destruction for a long time. Its sad how they choose to dial it back over the years instead of going head strong into giving us more destruction. That was the one game that kept camping to a minimum.

LordoftheCritics1399d ago (Edited 1399d ago )

I liked the gunplay, movements, camera work besides all the sound and various improvements of BF3.

There's a lot more than just planes, bigger maps and going prone. I enjoyed BC2 but BF3 felt like a big upgrade.

franwex1400d ago

I agree. In 11 years they have not been able to replicate the experience.

WeAreLegion1400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

For multiplayer, possibly. Bad Company had a better campaign than Bad Company 2 though.

I personally enjoy Battlefield 2 more than any of the others.

Fluke_Skywalker1399d ago (Edited 1399d ago )

The first Bad Company had the only good campaign of the whole BF series imho. All others just felt generic and tacked on to appease console manufacturers. I just recently replayed the BC campaign and it was brilliant. Thoroughly underrated game that one.

ALMGNOON1400d ago

Someone clearly didn't play BF3 or BF4...

LucasRuinedChildhood1400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

Nah. There's a reason people used to always plead for a Bad Company 3 even after those games released - destruction ... which was massively toned down in BF3 and BF4. It was 90% reduced to just being a gimmick.

Rush is also at its best in BC2, and it has fantastic, chaotic maps with very little downtime. I still like BF3 a lot but BC2 was pure fun. BF4 was alright but most of the launch maps were fairly weak.

If you prefer BF3 and BF4, fair enough, but there's plenty of reasons to prefer BC2. They're different.

Fluke_Skywalker1399d ago

Someone clearly didn't play BC2.

ssmilloy361399d ago

maybe it's because both were unplayable at launch?

yeahokwhatever1400d ago

I still like 1942, Desert Combat, and BF2 the most. In that order. :-)

badz1491400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

but the SP campaign suck! BFBC2 had a good SP campaign and great MP

forsakenskys1398d ago

Yeah bf3 sp campaign was bad. Bf2 was also fun mp

This soundtrack is really good.

REDGUM2376d ago

Damn right it was. Infact I really liked the campaign and all the music that went with it. Well thought out. The tank mission was a blast!

Hungryalpaca2376d ago

If you consider AI that just drives out in the open a blast then more power to you....I thought it was a cliched story “wait we is da baddies” AGAIN, the AI is dumb as bricks and I beat it on hard in under 40 minutes. It was pretty boring.
