The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

User Rating: 7 | Battlefield 4 PS3

Single Player Campaign, PS3 on Veteran

The Good:

  1. Graphics are exceptional
  2. Weapon Variety/Accuracy (especially the scoped weapons)*
  3. Voice Acting
  4. The overall game play (despite the story or lack there of) was surprisingly fun

The Bad:

  1. AI is suicidal
  2. Almost zero stealth required
  3. * While plentiful and fun to use, I finished the game and still had only accessed 50-60% of the available weapons in the game. No idea what one has to do to acquire the rest of them.
  4. Even on Veteran, the game is on the easy side

The Ugly:

  1. While the voice acting (especially Michael Kenneth Williams of Boardwalk Empire fame) was superb, the story itself was ridiculous. I had a hard time figuring out who were we fighting against and why. Individual dialogue was good, but the plot and ending were poor.
  2. Had the game freeze on me a few times during game play, requiring system reboot. I would say it was my PS3 if it happened in other games I play on it, but it doesn't.Game was purchased new as well.

Overall, it was fun. While not a big MP'er, I have played some in BF4 and I like it better than the COD offerings. I gave the game a 7 as the game play (when not freezing), visuals and voice acting/dialogue were great. If they could have actually hired someone to come up with a clear story plot and make the game a little more difficult, it could have been a 9.
