Battlefield 4 - MP Launch Trailer
While the game still has to unlock here in the Netherlands the reviews are starting to come in for DICE's latest shooter Battlefield 4: CVG: 9/10, Joystiq: 4.5/5, Shacknews: 7/10, Polygon: 7.5/10, Gamespot: 8/10, Eurogamer: 8/10, Videogamer: 9/1, GamesRadar: 4.5/5, IGN: 8.5, PC Gamer: 84%, Xbox 360 Achievements: 80%, US Gamer: 3.5/5, Machinima: 9.5, GameTrailers: 9.5,Game Informer: 8.75, AusGamer: 9.4
Battlefield 4 has all the necessary components for a good, story-driven shooter campaign. It's got a well-developed set of mechanics, oriented as much around strategic movement — vaulting over barriers, a workable lean system that works nearly auto-magically — as they are around the first-person shooting that so often takes center stage. Guns roar as concrete flies off of barriers and columns.
But for all the fury and fire that Battlefield 4 promises when you pull the trigger, there's little impact during firefights. There's a dizzying disconnect present in the damage it felt like I should be doing and the damage I did. In Battlefield 4, shy of a headshot, you'll be reloading often as you fling magazine after magazine at AI opponents. This combines with the enemies' tendency to hide behind cover for, well, forever, popping up every few seconds or so, leading to extended firefights where it doesn't feel like anything interesting is happening at all.
All of which directly contradicts a campaign that otherwise seems hellbent on throwing you forward, or down, or out of something — just about every chapter ends with your character getting tossed out of something at high speed and/or losing consciousness. Battlefield 4's campaign is a jumbled, minimally coherent collection of guided shooter clichés. It isn't just forgettable, it's consistently, often willfully stupid.

Yea , many people just bashing the game for SP and giving low score .
DICE should have removed SP , who in their sane mind buys BF for single player.
Waste of money from DICE side.

Any game can and must take its stand purely on singleplayer. Multiplayer is a bonus. If you ask me, BF3 was a PoS that demonstrated the worst of todays game industry. I wonder how many play games like psychonauts lately? EA - electronic arts. ARTS!
That review that Hilbert posted, to my ears was something like "blah blah frostbite engine blah blah so frostbite engine doesn´t disappoint". As much as i like to ignite my pubic hairs with sweet looking graphics, i´m looking for fun. FUN!
To have a a dying soldier breath the atomic waste of a nuclear weapon in MW1 while his child memories sing in his head, now that´s art. To have building and bombs exploding in my face at every single moment like a freaking self-combusting firework factory while i can´t even distinguish the enemies from allies through all the smoke? Don´t bull**** me.
/end of rant. (Can´t censor myself, sorry)
