A Response to Battlefield 3

This is a response to the game Battlefield 3. Shoot 'em up.


Oh Battlefield 3, where do I begin with you? Lets start with the single player campaign. Not really much of a story. It's a pretty predictable ending too, also filled with quicktime events. Not that quicktime events are always bad, but in this game, they are indeed bad. Anyway, you are any old military man, and wouldn't you know it, you've been blamed for treason. You recall the events that got you to the dark, dank, interview room in the for of levels in the campaign, each very different from the next, besides the large chunks of run and gun, which are actually still enjoyable. Anyway, you finally recall everything there is to recall, you realize the main bad guy is in town and about to nuke New York, so your buddy and you escape to the subway to kick his ass once and for all. Which, after a subway car battle, some sewer shooting, and a car chase that ends in you beating the bad guys head in with a brick, you definitely kick his ass. However, your entire squad is deal, but you've saved a million lives. Good job!


Now for the real meat of this game, the multiplayer. The multiplayer has almost 100 different weapons, each with attachments to put on them to fit your game play style and how you want to shoot. Then there are the classes, so you can choose exactly what you want to be doing in the game, whether that is healing your teammates and bringing them back from the dead, or showing the enemy's presence on the radar with your MAV. There are so many different ways to combat your enemies and fight back, however, the game is not perfect. To be fair, the only things making it a slightly annoying game to play are the instances where your team is trapped in the spawn area or when the enemy is exploiting the glitched weapons. Despite all the bad that can arise from a game to make you rage quit, my roommate Adam and I still come back to it almost every day. This game is good, and a great change from all the Call of Duty, even though it's essentially the same thing, just more played out and fine tuned.
