Campaign: The very first thing I did when I popped the game into my system was jump into the single player. I've never had a Battlefield game before, but I played it on Hard nonetheless. The first thing that really jumped out on me was that the Campaign was really easy. It wasn't hard at all. I would probably compare Battlefield's Hard to Medium...but that just might be me. The hard part about playing on hard is trying to avoid the enemies as they tend to just gun for you as your teammates just stand there and provided cover fire without actually hitting any enemies, and one or two shots and you're dead. The campaign was also short, I was able to finish it in under 7 hours. During the campaign you play as several different characters with the main character reliving all the these different parts in flashbacks. The story is the main character, whose name slips my mind at the moment, is being interrogated by two government officials about his involvement in the current WMD attacks on several cities, and as they ask questions you relive the missions. There's nothing really too special about the single player, in all honestly I don't really remember the story all that much because there was nothing that "wowed me" or anything like that. The one memorable part of the campaign is when you fly in a jet as you take control of the weapons of the jet. It helped my live my fantasy of flying a jet....even though you're not actually flying it. All in all if I had to give this game a score based primaly on the campaign I would have to give it an 6/10. Let's face it though no one is getting this game solely on the campaign as it's all about the multiplayer.
Multiplayer: The first thing I want to note is that if you played the beta and experienced all those problems, I'm happy to say most if not all of them are gone from the retail version. One thing I want to say about the online multiplayer is that it's really slow, but I guess I'm a little bias as I'm comparing it to the Call of Duty series which is more fast paced. Nothing against Battlefield as that's what makes it different. It took me a little while to get into the multiplayer but now I'm pretty hooked. It's not really because it's that great online, because there are still a lot of problems online, it's because I'm not all that good at it yet. There is also a major influence on teamwork as there are four different classes to chose from in which you can either heal/revive your teammates, provide ammo to your teammates, anti-vehicle class-which comes equipped with RPGs-and then you have the sniping class where you can put down a respawn beacon where you and your teammates can respawn from. You also can call out to you're teammates, even if you don't have a mic, by pressing select (or back with xbox360) to ask for ammo/health. You can also press select to call out enemies and enemy vehicles to your teammates and their locations will show up on the mini map. I really like doing this as I tend to snipe and when I can't get someone I just call them out and let my teammates try and deal with them, and you get points for doing so. I'm still playing the multiplayer and trying to get better and well update this the more I play. I have yet to try the co-op but will try to in the next couple of days.
Thanks for reading! Peace!
