The button actions are also a place where I can lodge a complaint. This makes it really annoying and can turn a lot of people off of the game. There are many missions where you have to repeat up to 8 minutes of combat because you died at some point. My second greatest peeve with BF3 is the sordid lack of check points that make sense. Also when you head shot enemies they do not always die, which is ridiculous. There is always a half a second lag between my actions and the game responding no matter what mouse acceleration settings are used. The one thing I hate most about BF3, which was also my biggest beef with BC2, is the movement code. Most of the time you will be following an allied soldier through each map there are several solo missions and solo sections of some missions however. You are given a variety of vehicular weaponry to control through out the game including fighter jets, Humvees, and a tank. There are some heavy influences from Call of Duty to be noted here as well, from the interrogation scenes to some one liners from MW2. It all culminates in a final mission dashing through a subway train looking for Solomon and the nuclear warhead. From here it is a wild roller coaster ride of highs and lows, from fighting off a battalion of Iranian Armor, to cutting through a legion of Russian Paratroopers. However during the fighting a massive earthquake hits and you are separated from all contact with Ops command. You start your first mission in Iran where you are working to dislodge the PLR from the country and find Solomon. Blackburn's testimony is under suspect because he killed his commanding officer and so he is forced to relive the events that led up to and after that point. His name is Blackburn and he is claiming that there is a nuclear device that will be detonated in New York City if they do not stop Solomon, the leader of a rouge terrorist organization called the PLR. The story opens up Black Ops-esque to an interrogation room where two men a grilling a soldier about certain events that have already taken place and why he did the things he did. Have not played it because I have read it is more demanding them the SP and the SP barely ran smoothly for me as it is (most of the time it was 60 fps but it dipped down into the 15 range during really active scenes). This review will not include anything on MP because I have yet to play it. I took only one point because I am not an idiot like some of the people that gave the game a zero just because of this. The only problem is that Origin scans your entire hard drive and has been shown that it reads the files it scans and possibly uploads that data to EA. EA decided that in order to 'strengthen the security' of their game they would make Origin scan your computer for hacks and such in the program files folder. Where to begin, how about at install! The firs thing you need to know, and what I knocked a point off of my review score for, is Origin. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
