My CoD: Ghosts campaign review... (spoiler free)

[MessiaH]

Can someone explain to me why BF4's campaign is so bad? I haven't played it but what about it is terrible?

I played BF3, and I thought that campaign was rather paltry. Follow this guy, ok shoot those people, follow that guy, ok take out the dude on the right, go there, snipe that, follow that guy, shoot those dudes, now follow that guy, dont be caught by them folks. FUCK! It felt like slave labour! Just taking orders and following people that are hand-holding you all the way through. It sucked. I just wanted it to end.

I think its time they really inject these military shooters with some drama, some emotion. They've become so bombastic and just a string of one set-piece to another, all held together with gallery shoot-outs. Imagine turning the movie Saving Private Ryan into a videogame. I mean, not literally, but using that as the basis of creating a military shooter. Allow you to create real bonds with your brothers in arms, maybe have a few scenes where you're just sitting round a campfire and talking about life, war, anything. But try to create personalities and not just bullet fodder. Then kill a few of them to create some shock, wound one or two and have you save them amidst the hail of bullets and explosions. Maybe having to choose between saving one comrade from another, and having to live with the guilt of someone's death on your conscience. Just, SOMETHING. something different. I've grown so insensitive to the explosions and the bullets. Its so tedious, and I think there is such raw drama, such raw emotions on the battlefield that can be capitalized on, but these developers just stick to tried and tested. Bunch of boring tits. COD and BF campaigns are shit through and through.

Anyway, 2 cents n shit...
