Now in that 13 minutes here is what happened * 3/4 team people meet up in a room and jibber jabber * Remove window boards to help 4th team mate join up as well, clearly in an Urban setting, clearly day time * Travel to Jungle on foot * Travel to Industrial area near the coast emerging from forest, maybe evening, but certainly not sunset * Lots of fire fighting, some menial vehicle use, going up a building, helicopter sequence with helicopter ally * Enemy Helicopter shows up tries to shoot at you from behind the chopper that is trying to rescue you instead of just shooting that rescue chopper. * Doesn't matter either way, in trying to kill you they managed to kill the building instead so it comes crashing down. Rescue chopper also dies. * You wake up, it's night time, cut a fallen soldiers leg Nikita style, then driving coastal highway. Is it early morning sunrise now? * Enemy chopper shows up again, this time you take it out using your grenade gun thingy * Then your car crashes in water and loop is complete. So basically F-U TIME Seriously? Very nice graphics and I really liked the ocean waves splashing water ending up on car wind shield while driving. But the rest of the games plot, story, character, etc type stuff is just worthless. Why can't they use all that technology to make a game that I might actually care about? |
I don't think any Battlfield fan actually cared for whatever story that was in that segment. Most military shooters have horrendous campaign storylines which make little to no sense. No one buys these games (Battlefield/COD) for their campaigns. The campaigns are there pretty much to serve as a tutorial to get used to the game's mechanics/controls and to have moments of awe where you stare at the screen to appreciate some crazy Micheal Bay movie like scene going down.
The reason people buy these games is to play multiplayer, which is the main attraction of BF. That is where they use the technology to mak great experiences. In the case of BF you have great graphics, destructible environments, massive warzones, fluid animation and huge player counts (PC supports 64 people at once). So really MP is what you should be judging the game on. If you don't like MP, then you should stay well clear of the franchise and look elsewhere. What they showed was pretty much like a tech demo of what the game can achieve.
