Great Game Multiplayer Review

The good: The multiplayer portion of the game is immensely fun and in depth. With a full range of classes and vehicles the game allows for numerous options too keep it interesting. The new gold rush online mode is extremely entertaining yet still keeps battlefields uniqueness. The 25 different ranks and numerous unlockable weapons will keep you determined to keep playing.
Graphics are amazing with very detailed lighting.

The bad: The concept of breaking down the 12 player team into two squads is very good but not well implemented. Warning markers on map for team mates for things like air strikes and enemy spotting are not there and would be very helpful.

Overall: Great game. Just the multiplayer portion will keep you entertained for weeks. If you are a fan of previous battlefields, you will feel right at home in this installment.

When I got this game in my mailbox, I was extremely excited. I have been a big fan of the Battlefield series, and since their last game on the console was quite good, I figured this one would be, too. Boy was I right! The single player is a welcomed addition to Battlefield, it offers depth and humor, one of the best combinations in a video game. The only thing I didn't like about the single player was the lack of offline or online co-op. Many games today offer some type of co-op, and with four people in your squad, there is no excuse as to why they couldn't have it. On to the multiplayer, wow. I haven't had this much fun online since Battlefield: MC came out! The destructibility available to you is truly an innovation. It is not dynamic, but the cover system is good enough so that you don't even notice. It is a pain, though, when you shoot a grenade at the wall in front of you and the wall to the right blows up. On the note of cover, the graphics are top notch. There are few games that can compare to the level of detail, and lack of detail once a city or village has been wiped clean by tanks and artillery. Along with tanks and artillery, there are many other vehicles to toy with, a staple from the Battlefield series. Unfortunately, the game does not let you customize your controls, so the Helicopters may be harder to fly for some people who like it none inverted. If you want a fun, exciting online experience and an enjoyable singleplayer, then this game is a must buy.

I highly enjoyed this game from the beginning of single player to where i am at right now. So basically if you don't know the story yet your 3 squad members are B-Company(basically convicts in the army.) that were given a second chance to do something right for your country.

You can easily tell this was built from the ground-up hence destructable trees walls etc. The missions are long and fun. Visually this game impresses with its stunny graphics and physics.

I didn't get a chance to try out multiplayer due to the refreshing servers menu to never go away and made me restart my xbox outta frustration. You can easily tell this game needs a patch for multiplayer but hey all game started out a little laggy in the beggining stages (halo 2,Army of 2, etc. etc.) So im willing to give it a 2nd chance when the patch comes out.

Also I heard there was a free download coming out called Conquest which was in Battlefield MC I Think.

So ill break it down like this
Gameplay 10/10
Visuals 8/10
Dialogue 9/10
Multiplayer ?/10
Presentation 6/10
Difficulty 8/10
