A game improved in graphics, not gameplay...Read On, there's more than just this...
First of all, I want to make it clear that I am not a hardcore fan of either games, and I am 100% neutral with both. They are both great games with their strengths and weaknesses. With that said, let us begin.
I played battlefield at Beta. And it was a great first sight. However, soon after playing a couple hours or less, you start finding bugs very quickly. Now, I know it was beta, so I gave it a chance. Instead of being pessimist, I decided to look at it's strengths. Well let me tell you, Beta was almost better at several points.
Graphics take over anything else in the game. When I played it, it was like watching a movie. Never before have I seen so good of programming. However, after the first few missions, they quickly down ported from what they originally were, because they were focusing on gameplay more. Now, I know for one thing that it is very hard for game creators to attempt to balance Gameplay, graphics, and programming. However, the missions kept on bouncing from Gameplay to Graphics alot. One minute, you would be looking at Tehran, Iran's cityscape with beautiful vision, and the next minute you would be staring at poorly rendered npc's. Other times, it would be reversed. I dont want to sound like I am full on dissing this game, it is just unbalanced at points. Gameplay is great, and I am always telling people that if the bodies fall like rag dolls, I am generally happy. I honestly hate it when bodies die pre-programmed. IT SUCKS. But, they got my name in their happy letters today with that subject.
The story revolves around, I think, a guy who has been arrested and put into interrogation from the CIA. And He was a marine. That's all I got from the story. So...in essence, the story generally is very confusing. It really didn't make sense at all and jumped around WAY to much.
The characters were good, however I couldn't tell who was in my squad or wasnt, because they always ended up somehow different. Who was Who?
Pretty much I followed the objectives throughout the campaign until it was the end.
A strongpoint in this game is sound. Imagine being in a movie theater with surround sound. This is not what this game represents. It represents full on mothertrucking war. I couldn't believe how real it sounded. It's like the sound guys in production went to World War 3 and back and brought loads of sound.
To end flat because I'm running out of room I believe, this game is an adv-ed choice for a FPS gamer, Battlefield 3 fanboys/girls, and those who want the latest game. It has it's improvement base, but it is not the worse game you'll ever play. Thanks for reading, Shocker OUT!
