This Is War..
Anyway, it's all good, because when you first connect to the ea server and go online on battlefield, it tells you how much more score you need and pph etc. to advance to the next rank. It's a great game, it also announces things lkie " Blah Blah " is one of the top players in SNIPER kit in 6th place in the leaderboard, which is also shown on the information bar at the bottom.
There are 46 achievements for this game, so it will take you a darn good while to complete, although i must say, if you do not have xbox live then i wouldn't buy the game, because at least half of the achievement score and 3/4 of the fun comes from online gameplay, but that doesn't mean count out the campaign mode is good, and unlike call of duty, which does show that your in the war with all the screaming and etc. going on around you, with this game, symbolising "modern combat" you can hear the missiles being shot and the missiles landing, you see the explosions, cars blowing up and people screaming/talking tactically on how they are planning to attack. it's a absolutely fabulous single player mode yes.
Anyway, about the online, incase your wondering yes, you can drive cars, helicopters, boats, tanks, snow mobile's etc. because that's what happens in modern combat, you drive around, the maps on this game are huge and are basically unlimited, literally you can go away from the action and lie down on a mountain in some place and snipe people, it's a very rare occasion you do get such an opportunity, but in a map named "Bridge TooFar" You can sit on a mountain next to the opponents spawn place and snipe a couple of times, but you are visible with a long-range gun and you will end up being shot.
Online game modes: The online game modes.. to be quite honest there is not alot of option, there are 2 online game modes, Capture The Flag (CTF) / Conquest, i'm assuming you know what capture the flag is so i'll just quickly explain conquest..
Conquest; the aim of the game is to take all the flags and make your opponents "tickets/numbers" run out, the one that runs out first loses, you basically need to go to a flag, lie next to it, stand/sit in a car or a tank or anything, and wait for all of the bars to fill up so that it then becomes your flag and you control it, you can then spawn at the spots which you have won, but each team has a default spawning point. So not everything can be taken, only the available flags, it's honestly enjoyable.
You know, when you first get the game trust me you won't think so highly of it, you will seriously contemplate taking it back, and probably try, but trust me and listen to me here, DO NOT take it back at 1st thing, give it a week, let it sink in and you will have endless fun out of it, you can plant bombs on cars and blow them up when someone gets in(online) and you can go to a computer database when an artillery strike is available and you can air-strike a point on the map where alot of your opponents are, and kill a few off, the weapons bit is really cool, the maps are huge, there's lots of achievements, and i don't think i've quite seen every map yet either, so if i were you and i had live, i'd buy this game.
