One that gets you used to controls but is still short.In the campaign your team AI aren't very smart and leave you to do most of the work. The multiplayer however is great. The maps range quite a lot but it is a shame people don't play it much anymore because it is the base of Battlefield on consoles. Some trophies are look like they could be time consuming but I will try to get them. Full Review »
