Battlefield 4™

This is a neutral review. The main strong asset of Battlefield 4 is no doubt the graphics, which is really excellent. Other then that I found little things to praise. It seems the main focus of all Battlefield games is multiplayer, not single-player. In my opinion, that is a mistake. The single-player campaign is present but it's very minimalistic. It's very, very short and the story is something half baked, with no real depth nor passion in creating it nor playing it. It ends before you can even properly connect with the characters or events. It's a 100% linear FPS experience with no real objectives, or things to collect along the way, nor is any upgrade system present for the character or the weapons. You just find or unlock some weapons, and some irrelevant collectibles. I must say, the campaign had some very strong and entertaining moments and missions, especially the ones with tanks and it has various different locations/battlefields that are interesting. Also it has a nice selection of weapons. That is why this is a neutral review and not a negative one. Regarding the multiplayer experience: the Battlefield 4 servers aren't at all locations were new players can easily and casually jump in whenever and engage in battle and have a pleasant time. First of all, the new player ( even after finishing the campaing ), has access to only a few weapons for each class. Only after a very long grind and if you have some specific weapon pack DLC's you can unlock all the medium and high-end weapons, that are necessary of course to be letal in multiplayer. Also it seems that there are many cheaters. The multiplayer is IMO mostly for groups of friends to play together, to get used to all the multiplayer modalities and maps and only then to enter public servers.
