The style is unmistakable: it takes place in teams, divided into squads, requires quick but tactical activity, the use of vehicles, and gives a great feeling of playing on a giant battlefield. Multiplayer mode doesn't change much with respect to previous versions of Battlefield. And does it ever! Compared with the single player mode, the multiplayer mode is a completely different story. The multiplayer mode is the first choice on the menu, and this is where Battlefield 4 can flex its muscles. The fact that the single player mode is little more than an extra bit on the side becomes perfectly clear when you look at the main menu of the game.



If you were intending to buy the game for it’s single player mode, then you’d be better off looking elsewhere: the campaign lasts 4 hours and really isn’t worth it. There are lots of pre-programmed scenes, enemies with limited AI, absurd dialog, and scenarios that seem similar to other games. Due to the chaotic nature of the geopolitical situation, a conflict on a scale dwarfing Battlefield 4's world war is sparked, and many displaced refugees known as "No-Pats" are fighting at the center of it. A new short film, Exodus, shines a greater light on the multiplayer lore implications and Battlefield's direct connection to Battlefield 4.In Campaign mode, Battlefield 4 is a succession of levels that set out to impress the player. In Battlefield 2042, the world is even more politically divided than it was in Battlefield 4, with countries ravaged by the effects of climate change and a massive global refugee crisis well underway. Battlefield 2042 takes place roughly 22 years after the events of Battlefield 4, which can be seen in Irish's greying hair.Īlthough Battlefield 2042 doesn't have a campaign, it seems like developer DICE isn't quite done fleshing out what is arguably the most detailed narrative the series has seen to date. A new short film for Battlefield 2042confirms the game is a sequel to Battlefield 4, as characters like Kimble "Irish" Graves from the 2013's single-player campaign are making a return.
