Game is getting roasted in reviews and its mostly deserved but what I think is really going on is reviewers sort of taking a stand (or getting on their soap boxes) on a genre they don't really like anymore.
I mean the reality is at this point 80% of the review in a military fps should be directed towards the mp side because that's why people buy these games. It's sort of silly to spend 90% of a review on a game like this on the campaign and very little on the mp which is not how the real world plays these games anymore. Reviewers don't represent the fps mp gaming public in that regard.
Even if the campaign sucks, that's not why people buy these games .
I wonder why they even bother with single player now in these games.
I think there is a more casual portion of the audience that does play and enjoy these sorts of campaigns. I think there is also a perceived value thing where some segment of the markets feels like they are getting more value for money with a true single player and multi-player component. And I think for some people its more fun to learn the mechanics of the game through a story interactive viewpoint rather than just bot matches mp style.
But yeah, ultimately I think a lot of companies are being shortsighted by not making truly mp only focused games. Almost certainly Warfighter would have been reviewed better as a mp only title although they would have to drop the price to do that.
It feels sluggish, hip fire is not viable at all, the classes that run around with grenade launchers are fucking ridiculous (especially since the mp maps are mostly in confined spaces) interface isnt intuitive at all. Buddy spawn system sucks, although they dont let you spawn on your buddy when they are in "danger" you often find yourself being spawn fragged, ass long intervals between levels, shooting that doesnt feel satisfying, run button has a weird uneditable toggle like function, doesnt seem like playing tactically will get you far in this game.
Some other stuff too, but yeah hate this.
The major thing that is bugging me is how the mouse movement feels. Its weird. It's like there is some mouse smoothing going on or something. No matter how much I adjust the DPI of my mouse, it feels very hard to snap from target to target unlike Battlefield. I can't tell if its just in my mind and the recoil is what is actually throwing me off or what.
