    Good, but still far from what EA is attempting to achieve. It will be enough for those looking for their annual war-themed FPS, but its gameplay needs to reach the high levels seen in its audio and visual aspects.

    The campaign is crap. Clearly. [Issue#225, p.70]

    Warfighter has a nice multiplayer mode (although not better than Call of Duty or Battlefield). It's just a shame that the single player campaign ends up being so bad.

    Shooting in Warfighter is excellent, and the presentation is great, but it doesn't stop the game from being broken literally, and thematically.

  1. I'm tired of the troll's giving this game 1's and O's, writing reviews filled with hyperbole. If I were to be honest, I should probably give the overall game a 9 simply based on the overly complex multiplayer screens.

    I personally loved the single player campaign. I served in the Marines and appreciate the tone that this team uses in depicting our warfighters. I think a lot of the negativity is from people shying away from the reality that there are really rotten scumbags out there who would kill anyone who believes differently than them in a heartbeat.

    The multiplayer part of the game is a bit different than it's predecessor. The maps feel smaller, but once you learn them, they seem to flow pretty well. I like the BF3 / MOH games a bit more than the COD games (which I own), but I understand that there are a TON of FPS games out there and people have different tastes. I get that. I just don't understand the hate that this franchise gets. Play the game. Make up your own mind. I personally liked it.

  2. After reading and watching the reviews about this game I was skeptical at first and finally decided to jump in, and I'm glad I did so. This game is far from perfect, but is fun to play and I don't have to put up with the lag compensation or the Buffer Bloat BS (because I guess playing this game makes my router Buffer Bloat free for some magical reason) The menus are awful, but it is just a matter of getting use to them, the graphics have some problems loading from time to time, and there are no major destruction capabilities like in BF3, but the MP is just amazing, is lag free and I have to mention that my connection isn't that great at all. Most of the complaints I see from people frustrated are mainly because they thought this was like playing COD with BF3 graphics which is not like that in anyway, gun and run is possible if you have a competent team watching your back, if not you will die the moment you take down 1 guy, because his partners who are always close will flank you 90% of the time, you have to learn how to play and also how and what to shoot with.
    How to shoot properly here is way different than in any other FPSs around, depending on the gun you are using, you will have to ADS first or just spray and pray. As a word of advice if your "Agility" is higher than your "effective range" then you should play in a CQ scenario, on the other hand, Effective range will require that you ADS first before shooting. Basically "Agility=better hip fire and mobility / Bad Range damage and awful ADS accuracy" "Effective range= Better ADS accuracy and damage over range / Bad Hip Fire and low mobility due to the added weight of the range attachments (long barrels, extended stocks and such)
    So bottom line I love playing this game, if you want to try something different is a good option if you are prepared for the stiff learning curve and suck at your first tries since most of the people who are still playing the game have a great advantage over you at this point.

  3. SP is short and sweet, but lacks proper AI and storytelling. The graphics and the sound are beyond average and show the strengths of FrostBite 2.0. Controls are somewhat clunky and overloaded, but you get a hang of it.
    The MP has some nice new features like FireTeam and a BuddySystem, but can't stay up to BF3 (and CoD).
    Long story short: Not a great game, but worth your time (for a budget-price).

  4. Mediocre game with just enough 'shooting and explosions' to make it tolerable for one play-through. I really like the first MOH reboot but this one had a story arc that absolutely went nowhere. Unnecessary confusing without any emotional payoff (you're pretty much placed in one scenario after another to shoot a multitude of baddies - rinse and repeat). Plus, what's up with all the door breaching??? I've never in breached that many doors in any FPS! The developers literally made it a bullet point feature in the game.

    There were some very off putting technical issues with the game including not being able to advance in the single player campaign without triggering the proper sequence of events. The AI for enemies and allies both were broken (i.e. just stood there doing nothing while the target was 2 feet away; not moving up, clipping into walls, getting lost from traveling from one set piece to another, etc). Multi-player was a mess with hard to understand UI and ranking system. Map layout is very confining that funneled players into tight corridor zones where people would just camp. Hit detection is also suspect and uneven (sometimes takes 2 shots to take a guy out - sometimes a full clip wouldn't do it). Do yourself a favor and rent it first before putting money in to buy this. I had higher expectations for this game and it let me down big time. From all the competition of modern military FPS's on the market today (BF3, CODs, Bad Company, etc), you would think the devs would put more time to really make this shine from the rest. Alas, we get a product destined for the bargain bin in about 2 months.
