Battlefield 4

“Battlefield 4 is DICE’s strongest effort in the series yet, with a gorgeous campaign joined by an excellent evolution of epic warfare online.”

The console versions of Battlefield 4 are held back on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but are still a hell of a lot of fun to play. If you’re looking for a great online shooter experience, Battlefield 4 is a can’t miss for 2013.

As someone who originally enlisted in Battlefield 1942, tracking the series' trajectory has been interesting. What originally started as a multiplayer-only hardcore PC shooter has steadily evolved over the last decade to achieve mass success. Along the way, developer DICE has built on its solid foundation of team-focused air, land, and sea battles with impressive new features like destructible env...

Battlefield 4 sends off the current generation of shooters in prime form. There's prowess across the board, from narrative to action, and technical hiccups can't derail a game that is simply great on PS3.

Here we are at the dawn of the next generation of console gaming.

Visually, it's an eyesore, with overblown lighting effects illuminating the game's plentiful issues with aliasing, screen-tearing and low-resolution textures.

Almost every event that you're a part of in Battlefield 4 is punctuated by some sort of demolition or explosion. Pursued by a helicopter? It'll blow up sooner or later. Running up a flight of stairs? They probably won't be there on the way back down. Need to get past an armoured vehicle? Better blast it to bits. And that's basically the franchise's newest entry in a nutshell – it's a bit bigger, a...

With more maps that support more playstyles, more modes, and necessary bug fixes, Battlefield 4 - like its predecessor - will go from good to great. At the moment, it doesn't do as much for players as Battlefield 3 does with its current set of offerings but it's only going to get bigger and better as time goes on.

Battlefield 4 was a rushed and unprepared game, which is very disappointing.
