Girl gamer in an
X-Box world
Multiplayer is what makes this game; DICE have really out done themselves.
With the new Frostbite 3 engine they are now capable of the constant changing of the environment in the maps; giant buildings crumbling, winds turning
into typhoons, boats becoming difficult to manoeuvre on the rough treacherous waters and towers collapsing making it difficult to get tanks to the enemy
territory. Frostbite 3 has made it more exciting for players, making you think
intelligently and constantly keep changing your strategy because the building
you were using for sniping may have crumbled or your favourite dot sight
doesn’t work well with the typhoons so you have to choose a sight which uses
infrared. Sadly with all the terrain changes the visual effects become quite
poor with textures and pieces of structures just vanishing.
Overall I found the story of the campaign pretty good, although the emotional
parts were a bit too much sometimes and the sudden personality changes make
it difficult to believe.
The graphics are improved since BF3 considering the Frostbite 3 engine but
for the Xbox it has had to really cut back on what the game can do and look
like since the 360 isn’t built for the graphical advances that have happened.
So apart from the fact that there is no female soldier option I would give
this game 8/10 because DICE have tried really hard on this one and you
can definitely tell. It’s just a shame the 360 °decreases it’s rating but the
Xbox is still pretty pricey!
