BATTLEFIELD 3
So I never really planned to do any game reviews but when I played Battlefield 3, after all the hype, there were some things that were on my mind that i figured I would talk about. So here it is.
Few months ago when the first trailers for this game came out, when we were all playing still fawning over Black Ops, my friend shared the link to me and he was all excited about how the quality of the game doesn't switch when you go from cut scene to actual playing mode. I usually don't care too much about game quality(unless we are talking about THOR). Call of Duty: Black Ops was already a very good game for me, and I don't need Full HD graphics, but I have to admit I was very impressed with this trailer. So few months later the game releases and I could not get it right away. Finally got my hands on it and well, lets just say I was not as impressed as I was by the trailer.
I loved Call of Duty: Black Ops, just because I hate playing FPS games on Xbox 360 mostly because I suck at shooting using the controller. I love FPS games on the PC(incidentally the reason why I think PC's will be hard to replace out of the market) because of the mouse, but Call of Duty bought a game where it was much easier to shoot with the aim assist option but more than that, COD brought a story to the game that I could NOT wait to see the end of. The main reason I kept playing the game was for the story. I said this to many of my friends, this story is movie worthy, and Battlefield just doesn't deliver on the story End. There's this Colonel sitting in a room with two interrogators and I didn't really get what was going on. They would ask something and it would cut into a mission. Maybe I wasn't paying attention but the story never caught my attention.
The game also felt very much like COD but only worse. I would seriously prefer COD over Battlefield at this point. So graphics you say? Well if like me you have a modified Xbox, you can't exactly go online, and to enjoy those top level graphics, the game asks you to download extra HD content of 1.5 GB. You can play without it of course but the gimmick for Battlefield 3 was graphics, and I don't want to waste my time downloading extra stuff when I want to play the game right away. Also my xbox comes with built in memory so I never bought a hard drive so that isn't even an option.
I have read some reviews for the multiplayer section and the reviews are great so if you play the multiplayer, let me know what you think in the comments section. I would love to hear about it.
I am currently working through Modern Warfare 3 so once I am done with that, I will try to write something about that.
As always, be sure to leave a comment.!
