BF3 - single player.

Just picked up this on xbox at the IC sale and I plan to play it solo, but the reviews on SP campaign have been dismal.What has your experence with SP been like?

I started the campaign, but haven't finished it. It was kind of bleh for me. But give it a go, you might enjoy it.

Multiplayer is where it's at though. I've got 500 hours in multiplayer and can't get enough of it. I play on PC, so I'm not sure whether the XBOX experience is different.

I stopped about 2/3 of the way through... I didn't enjoy all of it.

Battlefield = online play only

Don't bother with any battlefield game if your plan is single player. It's not made for single player thus the single player will always be shyte as it's an after thought.

wait what??? BF3 had single player?

 

[VirtualForce]

ah, sp wasnt that bad, enjoyed it but I agree, mp is where the fun is to be had. Been playing for the last month or so, clocked in 26 hours so far, cant play as much as I would like to.

Love the scale of the game, very awesome!

oh and once again, sorry teamies for the tk's!

Oh well for the price you paid for it, the single player might just be worth it.Atleast you didn't pay 600 bucks for the game to play it sp that would have been sad

an hour of BF3 will be quite hectic I think because there is a lot happening so a lot of data has to be synched between the console and servers. Remember that BF3 online has HUGE maps (sometimes I can run for about 2 minutes without even seeing an enemy before I start getting contact. Think it through before you start playing on a pay as you go basis. You will very quickly get tired of topping up.

This and I honestly don't want to blow bandwith and time playing games online so ill give it a crack.

Battlefield was always a strictly multiplayer game. It was only with the BC series that a campaign was introduced. I played the entire campaign and would give it a 4/10. If you want good single player FPS action then stick to the Call of Duty games, or some of the other console stuff like gears of war and killzone and halo etc.

I'm actually busy with Rainbow 6:Vegas and I'm loving it, but it terms of graphics the new releases blows this away.

The single player is actually quite good. The problem is that it is damn near impossible to really shine in single player FPS games these days because the competition is so strong.

Essentially, the single player in BF3 is a showcase for the Frostbite engine. It's glorious to look at and the gameplay is good, but if you're going for the single player experience it might be better to get the new Call of Duty...that being said, I havn't played the new CoD so it could be horrible

You don't want to play games online? Hmmm really odd thing to say, so you would rather play against dumb AI than play against actual people?

Single player fps sucks so bad i cannot bring myself to play them anymore. Scripted rubbish

opposing opinions.


For this game specifically I agree that the scripted issue makes it crap but in online mode you are a slave to your latency.Games also have different levels of difficulty so technically you can play against real life opponents if you want to.

Sp wasn't bad but I found the BF:BC2 a more enjoyable sp.

But mp is where the real heart of the game is, I tried 5 minutes with MW3 during steams free weekend and deleted it. Can't beleive folks compare the two.
