![]() Battlefield 3 was next on the list.Įxcluding BF1, Battlefield 3 is the hardest of the post-Bad Company 2 games to return to. I came away satisfied, enough that I decided to continue this stroll down memory lane. And though I’ll always dread the fast-vehicle-spawn and/or Operation Corridor 64-player, 1,000 ticket server spam, it’s hard not to be gleeful after spending a few hours in Battlefield 4’s sandbox. Even today, community servers are keeping a significant chunk of that content alive and in rotation. This isn’t news, of course, but it was heartening to go back and remember how well DICE closed the book on that game, which began life with a disaster of a launch.īattlefield 4’s sheer assortment of maps, weapons, and modes ensure you always have something to look forward to, a toy to play with, or a mode you never actually played on that one DLC map. ![]() Years of patches and DLC support turned Battlefield 4 into a very competent, fun, and content-stuffed shooter. Likewise, Battlefield 4 is exciting - if predictable - and recent enough to look and play well. You put ‘em on with little hassle, and they look good enough that you don’t feel bad about wearing them. Even the recently added Pacific maps, themselves a highlight, couldn’t hold enough charm to make encounters any less boring.īattlefield 4 is the closest thing to a comfy t-shirt or a pair of jeans to me. The killfeed became dominated by the Type 2A, a fast-firing Medic SMG that dodged the TTK nerf. Players of course turned to the fastest-firing weapons to compensate, which all but killed variety. The recent TTK update turned the once lethal gunplay into mushy, loot shooter dance where a single enemy takes most of a magazine to drop. I had been keeping up with the goings-on from a distance, but I never quite imagined how desperate things were. It’s the most recent, best-looking and currently active game. So, after enough hemming and hawing, I decided to return to my true go-to: Battlefield. Ground War, in particular, exhausted all of its puddle-deep potential, and I exhausted all ways in trying to make it fun. Modern Warfare, as you may recall, dear reader, never quite did it for me in the ways I’d hoped. In the absence of a zeitgeist-ruling new triple-A release, I’ve been catching up on some of last year’s gems in between my frustrated, confused bouts with the hot 2016 release, Escape from Tarkov.Ĭall of Duty: Modern Warfare dominated much of my free time over the holiday break, but after completing the Battle Pass and reaching max level, there was nothing really left for me to grind. It’s the beginning of February, and Big Video Games are thin on the ground. Going back and playing older Battlefield games really does give you perspective.
