I've known about this game coming out for a long time and in fact it's been out for a while now, but I've felt no inclination to buy it.
I think one of the reasons for not wanting to get it is because of the next gen consoles, which I have no urgency to buy, and I feel that I would buy a game like Battlefield 4 when I get a PS4, as I really doubt the xbox 360 can do the game justice.
The other is that the game just looks too big. I played the beta a little and found the only playable level huge and kind of uncharacterful. It was just a bit bland. They're trying to accommodate every style of modern warfare into one arena but I think it's gone too far. Some friends of mine didn't like Battlefield 3 for this reason.
To a certain extend Battlefield 3 did lack something from Bad Company 2, but it also felt a bit more of a simulation. I always said I preferred the gameplay in Battlefield 3, I liked how it felt a little more real with the suppression and more realistic approach to weapons and kit selection. I was also lucky that both my brothers and another mate all hopped into Battlefield 3 and we enjoyed it for a good while together.
If I had to choose between my favourite between Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, it would be tough. I think as a whole package Bad Company 2 was so much slicker and I think my brothers, friends and I had more fun in it. The maps in Bad Company 2 seemed better designed and were a lot more personal. Also, the Vietnam expansion was brilliant!
So, on the surface Battlefield 4 really doesn't excite, they've gone too far!!! I miss the days when DiCE would bring out a new Battlefield game set in a different setting - not just pump out yet another modern day shooter. But I think this is the future for them now. A steady stream of modern day shooters pumped out one after the other.
I miss Battlefield 2142. How about an update of that one?
