BF3 single player is a steaming pile of crap

in the Night Shift mission I wandered a little to far and the Mission failed and saved at the same time. No my game loads at the Mission Failed screen, does anyone now know how to get around this besides replaying the chapter? i have not tried multiplayer yet however the single player seems to be terrible, the xbox 360 controller works like crap also. button prompts have problems working. i can not beleive developers release this garbage.

go play online, it's what it's made for

They should have never made it. Really. What is Battlefield for other than the multiplayer?

Its definetly not fun, but it really doesnt need a single player campagne imo.

Am I the only damn person out there that really liked the campaign?

I'm pretty sure that after the reviews people are going in expecting to hate it, and with that negative mindset they do.

I'm sorry, but it really isn't bad at all. Just as good as recent COD campaigns, better than MW2's campaign actually. It borrows from MW 1's campaign quite a bit, but the graphics and gunplay are so incredible that its really entertaining regardless.

The mission "Comrades" was excellent. The rest has ranged from mediocre to good.

Easily better than BC 2's campaign.

You shouldn't be using a controller for a PC FPS anyways. Why would they focus on perfecting something less than 1% of PC gamers use? My suggestion is to get used to keyboard and mouse or go to consoles. As for the single player, it's Battlefield 3, what did you expect? BF2 didn't even have a campaign.SF_KiLLaMaN

I enjoy it when people pull statistics out of their behind. Also battlefield 2 came out like 6 years ago, standards for games obviously change over time.

BF3 has a SP campaign? Who cares about something that was just thrown in for the hell of it?

I thought it was all right. Nothing great, but definitely not crap

Im finding the campaign really enjoyable. Alot more authentic and thrilling than 9/10 CoD... God knows how it scored lower than that "stemaing" pile of crap.

Umm.. Bad Company 2 had a great SP campaign. I really enjoyed it. There are those of us who don't have internet connections fast enough to allow us to enjoy multiplayer. That's why the SP should be good.

I liked it too. On my second playthrough on hard difficulty.

Ain't no better or worse than other fps's released this year. Same with id's rage.

Too many moaners, SP wasn't that bad,But MP is where Battlefield is at and I can't wait till have a MP game tonight with a few nice ice cold beers!

Personally I wished they never made the SP game for BF3 because it has tarnished the games rep slightly. And think of the wasted resources that went into making the SP game that could have been utilised for the MP game.

I'm level 7 in mp and I have never touched the singleplayer campaign. Probably never will considering reviews. I will however play the co-op to unlock the mp7.

It really is pretty damn bad. I'm not sure they should have even bothered with it at this point. Bad Company 1 and 2 did the series far more justice in the singleplayer realm. BF3's is a step back.raven_squad

Same here. Just got my copy now..I'll still give SP a try though even after the negative reviews

Actually I didnt even play the SP campaigns for both BFBC 1&2... I just focused on its mp..

However as some pointed out even if a game's main focus is mp, once devs decide to put a sp campaign the least they can do is making a good one.. Otherwise dont bother at all..

With this am not saying BF3's sp campaign is bad, but was expecting better.. still need to finish it :)

It's actually quite good, you just ran into a little bug (which I've had with other games too). It's every bit as good as the last CoD game in my opinion.

I like playing the campaign, but my one is pretty buggy at some points. Battlefield 3 single-player is like a prelude to the multi-player : get the feel of it before going into battle.

The SP campaign is so strictly linear that it blows my mind. It's terrible, no doubt about it! Thank goodness the multiplayer is what this game really shines at, and shine it does. There literally is no other comparison to how great the multiplayer is turning out to be in this game. It's fantastic!

I feel sorry for anyone buying this game for the singleplayer and skipping the multiplayer.

Awesome sig man! I am a major Ron Paul supporter!

Wanna play campaign? wait for MW3 for pure thrill. that's what i'm doing. BF3 is basically made for MP.

Yeah i think the SP gets way too much hate. Its def far from the greatest thing out but its an average to good experience and not far removed from what COD has been doing and everyone seems to love that. I will admit though that instead of copying COD they should focus on an SP experience that plays more to BF's strength but such a thing would be quite hard to pull off. They cant replicate the feel of the MP in the SP and if they did it would take some pretty darn amazing AI.

I swear like at least 25% of the campaign is you trying to outrun bullets (and non-steop spawning enemies). I wanted to be gunning the whole game, not run for a detonator on hard mode while being shot from every direction.

Multiplayer rocks though! :D

I'm skipping out on the bf3 single player. From what I saw it pretty much plays out more like an action movie that you can interact with. But seeing how thats not my thing but also seeing that at the same time i want to see whats in it and what happens I just went to youtube to watch someone play the game. Bloody thing has so much cutscenes and scripted events that it plays out like a movie so i practically treat it more like a movie than a game.

in the Night Shift mission I wandered a little to far and the Mission failed and saved at the same time. No my game loads at the Mission Failed screen, does anyone now know how to get around this besides replaying the chapter? i have not tried multiplayer yet however the single player seems to be terrible, the xbox 360 controller works like crap also. button prompts have problems working. i can not beleive developers release this garbage.

I really hate how the prompt buttons dont work on the 360 controller, but in general I hate prompt buttons anyway. Let me just watch the freaking cutscene, I can interact when Im actually playing

So you spent $60 on a 4 hour single player game? Really?

I like the fact that it seems to be the anti-COD campaign (i.e. it's not trying to be a summer action flick, WW3 pile crap). Gooeykat
