So around the time this game came out people were so enthralled that this game has a certain level of destruction involved. Well, it does. But from what I heard and from what I have finally experienced what people said didn't do it justice.
Okay, so 2008. The Xbox 360 had been out for a few years by that time. But these horrible graphics I downloaded this game from the Microsoft Xbox Game Pass library. For the uninitiated the Game Pass game library is what you pay $30NZ dollars for every three months. This payment will allow you to access a selection of games (but come on lets be honest Microsoft ain't giving much away here) at about one hundred of them. So I paid $1NZ before the membership price got jacked back up to full price. It is basically an Xbox Live online service you pay for with your credit card without running off to the local EB Games to fall victim to an idiotic employee who doesn't know anything about gaming nor play any games on a console or personal computer. The selection is on the cheap mostly Xbox 360 games from years past now available for you to download, install and play when you can. But hey, any game should be worthwhile playing especially for achievement points right? Wrong.
I experienced, with Battlefield: Bad Company, freezing loading screens, being kicked out of the game when I was just getting started and when I was finally able to play, my squad were wearing grey coloured uniforms and I thought this is beyond a sick joke I felt frustrated as to why and how this was happening.
I downloaded and installed Battlefield: 1942 just the other week and I am cringing at the thought I will be experiencing problems with that game too.
Look. Buy this game and give it a whirl that's what I will generally say. But destroying peoples houses with a grenade launcher and a vehicle here and there is what your idea of destruction is? Go for it. What is ironic is when Battlefield 4 came out they were hyping that very aspect of gameplay. It was called, levelution. It had what Bad Company had but a skyscraper will collapse when you destroy the buildings foundations and it will come crashing down. People thought that was cool.
Don't believe the hype but play through it it can be a challenge but with my experience I would avoid it like the corona virus.
Until next time.
