    While the campaign is a damn sight better than Battlefield 3's, it still falls a little flat in spots. [Issue#105, p.82]

    For all of its innovative bonuses however, Battlefield 4 on Xbox 360 is beginning to show signs of age. It can be applauded for great water physics and being able to handle the frame rate of a constantly dynamic environment rather well in both single and multiplayer. However, the character models and maps are definitely looking rather blocky and dated, even at 1080p.

    Business as usual with a mediocre single-player campaign and one of the best multiplayer experiences in all gaming – although one severely compromised by playing it on the Xbox 360.

    Battlefield 4 doesn't break any molds, but whether you're making your way through the glossed-up campaign or burning scores of hours battling online, there's always a strong underlying sense of anxiety and uncertainty. You simply never feel safe. All the great things you remember about the series like realistic ballistics, balanced vehicles, and solid gunplay are here.

    It may be disappointing to some that Battlefield 4’s single player doesn’t live up to a hill of beans, but what they did accomplish with the impressive multiplayer mode is something special that cannot be duplicated even by Activision’s mighty series.

    Destructive environments are great and new maps are fun and provide a solid challenge.

    NOW TO THE BAD STUFF:

    This game was rushed. While the game has potential, it lacks stability.

    Multi-player is broken. Can't join friends most of the time. Says server is full, but my friends clearly state there are several slots available on both sides. Going from server browsing back to main multi-player menu leaves a ghost of previous text on screen. Have to back all the way out to clear. Server browsing is useless. Doesn't show active games, even if you filter to only show servers with people in them.

    Needs a lot of work to save this title from infamy. I better get my money worth from soon-to-come updates or I won't be pre-ordering this franchise again. Too expensive to gamble on a crap game. Thank you, EA,, for putting our money towards a coffin. 3/10    … Full Review »

    Sorry to say, this is a buggy mess. The server matchmaking is broken, the load times are still awful, and even the Menus bug out regularly.Sorry to say, this is a buggy mess. The server matchmaking is broken, the load times are still awful, and even the Menus bug out regularly. Just spent 30 minutes trying to get into *any* TDM server. No Dice. I wouldn't mind that this is similar to BF3, if they had only fixed the things that were bad about BF3 here.… Full Review »
