Not a COD fan. Skewed Battlefield fanboy. Just a gamer with expectations.
๐จ 6/10 (Free Gift)
Iโm not here to argue Battlefield vs COD. I donโt even like COD.
This is for the true gamers โ the ones who played Battlefield for teamwork, for role-based classes, for actual objective play. And I hate to say it... but that spirit? Itโs gone.
I played the beta and thought, โThereโs promise here.โ The promise? Broken. The full game feels like the beta just got a slightly nicer jacket and a $70 price tag. Sure, the mid-sized maps are okay, and the gunplay is fine, but everything else feels flat and forgettable.
Teamwork is basically dead. Watch TikTok clips and youโll see what I mean โ nobody handles tanks properly, nobody plays objectives, and the medic class is treated like an optional flavor instead of a backbone. Everyoneโs chasing metas instead of actual squad play. The new generation doesnโt squad, they solo with vibes.
Itโs not Battlefield anymore. Itโs just "Generic War Game #37" with a BF sticker on it.
And while I hate to say itโฆ last yearโs COD Zombies was more captivating than this. Thatโs coming from someone who actively avoids COD. But at least it had something new going on. This? Just safe, bland, and coasting on the name.
If EA remade BF4, it would obliterate this game. No contest.
Would I have bought this? Absolutely not. Only reason I own it is because my friend got it for my birthday. At best, this is a $40 game, and thatโs if you play with friends. Solo? Youโll be uninstalling by the weekend.
Honestly, after this oneโฆ I think Iโm retiring from online FPS games.
Iโll hop on with my buddy here and there, but when Iโm solo? Iโm back to SnowRunner โ and yes, even Digimon sounds more appealing than another round of โRun to the Objective Alone and Die.โ
โ
Can be fun with friends
โ No real teamwork anymore
โ Medic class is ignored
โ Everyoneโs playing for TikTok clips, not wins
โ Mid-game feels like a beta patch
โ If this is the future of FPSโฆ count me out
Final verdict: Not trash, just painfully average. A full-priced nostalgia trap. The Battlefield name deserves better โ and so do we.
