Review : Battlefield 4 - Xbox 360 See the best deals here: >>> tinyurl/pxbdp37 Edit:There is a patch coming out soon for Consoles that may address the freezing issues. The fun factor of this game when playing with friends rates this a 5/5 within my book, however the technical issues are such a turn-off that My partner and i literally turn off my Xbox the first time it locks up and dont bother going back.If they can fix that, it take this game from merely wonderful to GREAT!First things first, a compliment and the one thing My partner and i have absolutely no complaints about: The sound engine is INCREDIBLE!The meat of the Crap SandwichThere are lots and lots of problems. Capital L LOTS. These issues are anecdotal, and vary be user experience nevertheless there is an EA support page that has vetted issues across multiple scenarios, again, and anecdotal nevertheless every one of my friends are having issues throughout a number of fashion. Playing last night (11/15/13) we were all booted from various servers at various points of time (loading in, playing, checking the score, changing maps)This game is obviously half-cooked on current gen consoles, and according to the support thread PC players are not exempt. There have been server patches nevertheless no client patch on 360/PS3 yet.The dirty truth:-Random Freezing: During map cycles, during Levelution events, during server join, during round changes, during, just standing there. This is absolutely freaking unacceptable throughout a retail release. This is several entry level QA stuff right here. They knew practically this and let it release anyway. Shame on them.-No party feature: My partner and i have to get a small teenager-y here but, Seriously! WHAT THE HELL? Dice has always missed the mark on this throughout their BF games on console, nevertheless this is just too much. within 2013, when every top tier release since 2006 has had a party system that isnt bass-ackwards, My partner and i simply cant understand the thinking behind this.They also pulled Platoons from Battlelog. DOUBLE WHAT THE HELL-Graphical step back: If you need proof to see that the 360/PS3 are at the end of their run for pushing the graphical envelope inside newer games, look no further. Halo 4, this aint. When youve played every map a handful of times, youll stop noticing or caring. Theres stuff to blow up.-No pre-game customization: We hate Battlelog, you shouldnt be forcing me to use my computer or tablet to organize stuff when Im playing the damn game. During battle is not the time to force people to mess with their loadouts. This is, frankly, just stupid.-Loadout Screen: The loadout screen is garbage. Electronic Arts Inc. Battlefield 4 36705 Xbox 360 Games My final thoughts : Pure garbage. Im not unintelligent, We can navigate it, My partner and i can make it work. Somebody is inside love with their UI design, and somebody has forgotten that you design this stuff for the players benefit, not your ego.-LET ME EDIT MY CLASSES BETWEEN ROUNDS. Christ almighty how is this a hard concept?-The UI: The UI sucks. Its a mess of menus and menus and more menus. Open up a menu? LOOK MORE MENUS! Say the work menu enough and youll start to question your sanity.-Battlelog: Seriously- EA, DICE? NOBODY LIKES BATTLELOG. If you like Battlelog, great. My wife and i hate you. For realsies, guise, Im super-cereal, My spouse and i wont play this game on the PC where it arguably is superior on all fronts due to the fact of how bad Battlelog is. My wife and i DO NOT UNDERSTAND BACKING A FAILED HORSE LIKE THIS. Quit floggin this dead animal.- The Battlelog App sucks, reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally bad. Ive queried all my friends, and so far between the Ipad 3, Nexus 7, 7.2, an overclocked HP Touchpad, and a number of random Samsung thingy, the Battlelog app is Crap. Its a cr(app)The fantastic stuff:When this game works, and you arent fighting against the design to actually get inside a match a play it with friends, its a blast. Theyve stepped back several of the design changes that were brought virtually inside Battlefield 3, and changed the all-around feel of it, to more Bad Company 2, than Battlefield 3.There are still flashlights that can blind within dark corridors, red-dot lasers that act as a SHOOT HERE target beacon, and a few weirdness on the sniping front that could use a number of tweaking. When the game is working the way it should, its a 5/5.Thanks for making 5-man fire teams a thing, and thanks for bringing back CommanderMiscellaneous: My wife and i am constantly baffled by the design decisions theyve made starting with BF3.We should just start calling it Bafflefield. .
