    unfinished game...

    As someone who loves Battlefield and has been playing since 1942 I can say this years release has been a total letdown. Even when you try and enjoy the game you're constantly coming across scenarios that simply make the game unplayable such as enemies not loading, being unable to re spawn, being unable to aim vertically, weapons switching randomly, etc.. With this amount of bugs, broken weapon balancing, lack of VoIP, terrible UI and progression system issues; this game should have definitely been delayed..

    Not BF 1, yet some fun is to be had.

    Thanks to the patches this game now playable. After so many months, the game feels like it is delivering its initial promises. Sad to say it took too long and too many patches to get there. It is still fun, but BF 1 is still the superior BF game.

    This game is bad...

    This game is bad... The game launched with very few standard and essential first-person shooters features, and now almost 3 months after release they still haven't added basic features. There is no scoreboard functionality, for example. So while you're playing in the middle of a match you have no idea how you compare to the rest of your team, or the enemy team. In what world does that make sense to anybody? Who asked for that feature to be removed? The developers of this game (DICE) appear to have no control or direction for this game. I have never felt so much regret for preordering this game. I guess it serves me right, paying for a game without knowing how it would turn out. This will be the last time I'll preorder a game. Unfortunately I am outside of whatever return policy Best Buy has for digital video games. This game has been out for not even 3 months and it has already gone on sale - that is have bad it is. This game is unplayable. I purchased it in November. Played it for a little over two hours and immediately uninstalled the game. It is worthless to me. Do not purchase this game. Do not purchase a DICE game ever again. Do not preorder big titles anymore until you know how the game turns out.
