Carmona Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I like the Battle Commander feature the most from this game, and although I may sound like a fanboy when I say this, I REALLY hope future multiplayer games implement this to counter-act the camping side of things. I don't think it's overpowering for people who are genuinely good, but to highlight an area where an enemy has achieved anywhere from 3 to 15 kills is a great way to get the corner-scouting campers a lesson learnt wow...I wondered why I loved BC so much and that just clicked...it stops campers....love that!

littlejay Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 made me sad i paid for it. will end up trading it in for mortal kombat and gamefly it for the last couple of achievements and send it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damtalldylan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 The single player shows an extreme lack of effort filled with Cliche characters from the badass who doesn' play by the rules to the woman with a sensitive side up until the point where her friend is killed. The multiplayer is unique. That's about the best word I can describe it as. Save your money for good games like Battlefield 3 or L.A. Noire.

TriRock Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 No. Short, dissapointing campaign, and tedious multiplayer don't make a good buy. The graphics are about three years behind the competition, and both SP and MP are full of bugs and glitches. The terrible achievements serve only to distract from the fact that there's very little than repeat, repeat, and repeat the same crap over and over again. Especially if the buggy servers wipe your progress. Having high hopes, I pre-ordered the game, but I can't give more than 2 out of 5 stars.

Graivul Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Wow actually quite liked the look of this until I read the forums and this thread. The EA Online Code thing is becoming a real friggin pain, and I am glad I have pretty much decided not to pick this one up. Wouldn't have bought it new anyway, and I am dam sure I aren't giving EA the satisfaction of charging me for their Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwind Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm thinking of getting this game again as I got rid of it a week after the MP broke not long after launch(was a shame as I really enjoyed the MP), so is the online MP playable now? And would it be worth my time picking it up again? Basically will I be able to get the 1000GS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChickinOnaChain Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I bought it used several months ago and couldn't get into it, so I sold it. But that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaKEEvERITT Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 buy it man, campaign is a bit short and can be annoying at points but good game overall. Multiplayer is good aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallharry219 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I got it really cheap through a Gamefly coupon glitch awhile back, and I'm just now getting around to playing it. Gameplay is decent, but the premise and atmosphere is what keeps me chugging through the single player mode. It's taking me awhile because I suck at FPS. I haven't tried out MP yet.

ginge88isfun Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Just recently got this back to try and mop up some more offline achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel98a Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Would it even be worth it for $20, i am just wanting to do the campaign, screw the online part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimkay Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Would it even be worth it for $20, i am just wanting to do the campaign, screw the online part of it. No. Rent it. Depending on your skill level, getting all the Campaign cheevos could take you roughly 10 hours (or less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirborneRichard Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 No. Rent it. Depending on your skill level, getting all the Campaign cheevos could take you roughly 10 hours (or less). Yeah something like that, the Iron Man Achievements can be a burden tho, often i died just because those stupid grenades and you coudn,t get away in time. Otherwise as its is an older game the story is still cool and graphics are good aswell. Best is the MP as its still very active and fun. Sometimes even if you pick up games pre-owned or used, the previous owners not always do use the codes, i had several used games that had codes still working. But if someone can get the game new and cheap its more then worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecadentBeaver Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Got this today for £5 so I'll see what I think. Heard a lot of mixed opinions about this game. So for the price it's gonna be an achievement run more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatalDeathSG45 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 When it first came out, I was sort of impressed. The story of an occupied America is easily one of the most intriguing stories I've seen in gaming. However, the graphics aren't too impressive, the campaign's too short, and the characters aren't very memorable. Multiplayer is decent, though. If you're planning on getting this, try to get it new, since buying it used won't guarantee you an online pass. But if you're strapped of cash, get it used.
