Unease Peanut

Hey guys! It's that time again. Since I got great response on my previous Review on the xbox One I decided to review... Battlefield 4! (Xbox One edition) Ah yes... The next game in an epic franchise. I'll be honest I'm not a grizzled Battlefield veteran since I've only played Battlefield 3 before this. But hey... now you can get a review from someone who doesn't keep reffering to 'the good ol' days'. Let's start of with the campaign This game is not known for great campaign gameplay. And now I know why. I'll start by saying that I've not completed the entire campaign because it won't save my progress for some reason... I don't know if this is because of the xbox One or poor design but it is most certainly very frustrating to keep starting the campaign over and over and over and over and over and over and over an... I think this pretty much sums it up. For what I've been able to play, which I think was half way through, I've gotta hand it to them. The graphics are awesome. But besides that it was pretty mediocre. The story line in my opinion is wierd... I don't know how else to put it. Maybe I've been looking at it wrong or simply I don't understand but I don't knwo why China banned this game because their reputation was at stake. It's a complete unrealistic situation and far fetched to say the least. Again, maybe I've not played it enough but this is what I think about it. Now the mechanics like blowing up stuff is still awesome. But the AI is as dumb as a leaking tea bag. Taking cover behind a tiny fence post or sitting at the wrong side of the wall is not what I call clever. At least it's fun running through hordes of enemies like it's no sweat. Now onto the real battlefield! The Multiplayer With the upped graphics of the Xbox One the multiplayes is amazing to look at. Building blowing up left and right and getting shot at from all sides makes this feel like real war. It is all a bit overwhelming when you first step in. So many thing to see. So many customizable things! But you'll adapt quickly, I'm sure. Once settled down, I had a great time going all tactical. It really is much different from battlefield 3. Less arcady in my opinion. Although the netcode is a bit frustrating from time to time... There are a few down sides to this game though. Like there are no player owned servers for the xbox One. I'm not sure if those are still comming but for now playing 32 vs 32 on operation Metro is a bit too much of the good thing. Speaking of too much of a good thing, I know explosions are awesome but there are far too many. Again operation Metro is a perfect example. From the american side it is impossible the move up. Even with the new ways te get up, there is no possible way past the barricade of grenades, grenade lauchers and other explosives which can be reacuired from ammo packs with relative ease. Another example of too much of a good thing is Commander mode. A great new feature which can be accesed by tablet as well. Adds a bit of tactical gameplay too... If the commander commands it's troops. Which does not happen all that often sadly. Most commanders I've encountered only used tools and didn't order the troops around. I know most of 'em won't listen and do whatever they want. But there are players out there who are willing to follow. Now another annoying little gimmick is the constant UAV's in the air. Sadly it's almost impossible to be stealthy if UAV's are a constant threat. All in all a great feature, but Battlefield could have done without it really. I think I'm gonna wrap up right here. I know there is much more to be said but this review is getting too long already. I've put up a lot of bad points and didn't really counter weight it with a lot of good points but there are just so many things to talk about. I do recommend picking up this game if you like shooters. Although it is frustrating from time to time it is still hella fun! Thanks for reading! And as always leave any tips in the comments! Post edit: So yeah... appearently a couple of images went missing when I posted this. Just fixed that! (I hope)

As an infamous COG sargeant once said "Bring it!"

Those about to die salute you! Now dance, -Yoink!-, dance You never had a chance And no one even knew It was really only you So dance, -Yoink!-, dance You never had a chance It was really only you It was really 'only' you With a thousand lies And a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes Hit 'em right between the eyes When I walk away Nothing more to say See the lightning in their eyes See 'em running for their lives

The peanuts were free! Right? Anyway. Axilus you were right! The mafia did target you. To bad that the medic had more important stuff to attend to >.> My vote goes to Fox because he hadn't been seen in some time and the others, including me, were already in the bar while the mafia walked in. Did the detective scan Mothman? Moths are hairy right?

Is it me or is it wierd that the first one to reply wasn't meant to reply and his status is now banned? Thanks Biggles. I will read 'em all soon

I like the wall of China better this way Apparently you and I play a lot alike Biggles Although in the loadouts I use a Pistol for 'FINISH HIM!' like kills. I also tend to run around with dexterity for quick reloads and such. And if I run out of ammo (rarely) I still have my trusty pistol. Quick reacion to team-play with random players... Don't even try! 9 out of 10 as you said won't care a single bit about you. I don't know 'bout you but I play better on my own in these kind of situations. Lone wolf FTW!

Loving the scenes you come up with JL

Not at all. Just add you forum name in a follow-up massage so I know who it is.

The are two entirely different games. I don't believe we can even compare them to one another

I am no mole!

Well I do remeber when Wal-mart did something similair with the Halo 4 release date. Evrybody was going nuts about the release date Wal-mart put up but it was just a place holder. Just like this one I believe.

The Baby dispenser is right around the corner first door to your left. Have a great time once you return!

Congratulations!

Just give us the answer and get on with it.

This is a story about Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. An important job needed to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did! Somebody got real mad over that, because it was still the job of Everybody. Everybody thought Anybody would do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it. At the end of the day Everybody got mad at Somebody, because Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

I vote caboose. To make things more interesting

Awesome! In my opinion it is money well spent . Wasn't there a sale somewhere where you could pick one up for only 400 bucks or something?

Contact me whenever you see me in the shoutbox or anything

I found the Halo 4 legendary solo run quite the challenge. The knights are just a nightmare!

Have you tried googling the error code for some solutions? Google might be your best buddy on this one. The only other explaination I can think of is just a temporary connection issue from withing MS. The only solution I know for that is to just wait it out.

I have one for Titanfall. The only other game I have is BF4. I'll make sure to review that when I've played it enough and find the time to do so

I have ODST and BL2. But I can't say anything untill I know dates.

Guys!

Thanks The thumbsticks work surprisingly well actually. Better than the Xbox 360's. And thank you Please not this article is written just by looking at the console. NOT the company who made it!

I'll play. Put me in at 8 please
